Abstract:

The project proposes a contrastive and interdisciplinary, diachronic, diatopic and diastratic research: Romanian astronomical terminology, both scientific and popular, denoting cosmic phenomena, processes, objects and constellations. The goal is a cca 600 p. volume containing: (i) a suite of linguistic studies relating to the object of study; (ii) a dictionary as a database for (i). On a theoretical and methodological level, this project constitutes the follow-up to a previous research on the meteorological terminology of atmospheric phenomena, which has been successfully completed.

The research is expected to: 1) constitute the first complete linguistic analysis of astronomical lexemes (Ts) through collaboration with the astronomy and the dialectology experts included in the team; 2) establish a complete database of popular and dialectical terms (Tp); 3) interrelate Ts and Tp by explaining Ts elements in layman’s terms and clarifying a series of Tp elements; 4) put together the first complete dictionary of astronomical terminology, in accordance with lexicographical norms (the experience of the team as authors of the DLR is taken into account).

As an absolute premiere in Romanian astronomy and linguistics, the Ts specific outline of the sky (cosmic objects and constellations), as delimited by the Romanian language, will be identified and examined.

Abstract:

Depuis la table ronde « È oggi possibile o augurabile un nuovo REW ? » organisée lors du Congrès de linguistique romane de 19951, la communauté des linguistes romanistes caressait l'espoir de la mise sur le chantier d'un nouveau dictionnaire étymologique panroman sur le modèle du REW (Romanisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch) de Meyer-Lübke. En janvier 2008, il s'est constitué une équipe internationale, surtout franco-allemande (autour du FEW à l'ATILF et du LEI à l'Université de la Sarre), qui se propose de rebâtir l'étymologie du noyau commun du lexique héréditaire roman (quelque 500 étymons) selon la méthode de la grammaire comparée-reconstruction – méthode jugée jusque là peu rentable en romanistique en raison du témoignage massif du latin écrit – et d'en présenter l'analyse phonologique, sémantique, stratigraphique et variationnelle sous une forme lexicographique-informatique ; le résultat marquera la première étape du Dictionnaire Étymologique Roman (DÉRom).

Le projet nourrit aussi un dessein plus vaste, qui lui est consubstantiel ; dès son origine, il s’est en effet fixé trois objectifs, qui sont autant d’enjeux stratégiques : changement de paradigme, fédération des forces vives et formation de la relève en étymologie romane. Le DÉRom est donc plus qu’un dictionnaire : c’est aussi un mouvement. Le projet apparaît en effet comme le vecteur d’un changement de paradigme en cours en étymologie romane, où la méthode traditionnelle, fondée, en définitive, sur les données du latin écrit, est en passe d’être remplacée par celle de la méthode comparative. Le DÉRom a bénéficié d’un vaste mouvement d’adhésion parmi les romanistes ; il mobilise aujourd'hui plus de cinquante chercheurs implantés dans douze pays européens. Le projet joue ainsi un rôle fédérateur au sein d’une communauté scientifique qui se présentait auparavant de manière assez fortement dispersée. Enfin, la formation de la relève est un des objectifs déclarés du projet, car à l’heure où le paysage de la recherche européenne est soumis à des restructurations en profondeur, il paraît important d’œuvrer pour la sauvegarde et le développement du savoir-faire en étymologie romane – non seulement en Allemagne et en France, mais partout en Europe.

Abstract:

The project addresses a currently salient topic on a scholarly, political and social level: population movements and their connections with identity. The analysis is multidisciplinary, approached through different social and human sciences (history, linguistics, philosophy, cultural anthropology, sociology, political sciences, and ethnography). The required expertise in all these fields is provided by established academic institutions (four institutes of the social sciences and humanities at the Iași Branch of the Romanian Academy and the University of Bucharest) and two relatively young universities, which nevertheless show promising potential in the investigation of migration, identity and cultural heritage (the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities of Lucian Blaga – University in Sibiu and the Faculty of Letters within the Northern University Centre in Baia Mare). The envisaged objectives of this complex institutional project are: 1) developing relevant infrastructure and human resources for long-term research; 2) designing methods, models, and theories on the relationship between migration and identity and validating them through Romanian case studies; 3) increasing the international visibility of Romanian science; 4) developing the research component among the less experienced partners, and reinvigorating research in some academic units; 5) delivering to the public administration, diaspora community, cultural NGOs, and economic agents impact studies, didactic tools, high-level technical assistance in the study of the migration phenomenon, as well as in their efforts of preserving and enhancing the heritage and cultural identity. The project will have a short, middle and long-term impact on: 1) the consortium partners and the Romanian academia; b) social, political and cultural practices in Romania; c) the economy.

Abstract:

The project entitled The Audio-Visual Linguistic Atlas of Bukovina (ALAB). Second Part, envisages to continue and develop the first phase of the pilot project The Audio-Visual Linguistic Atlas of Bukovina (ALAB). First part (project code: TE_244, 2010-2013), during which the first electronic version of a Romanian linguistic atlas was elaborated, using for the reproduction of the linguistic material the sound-video image combination – an unique accomplishment for the Romanian linguistic research community and among the first in the field in Europe. Using the most recent achievements in linguistic mapping digitization, and having a vast experience of atlases digitization (NALR. Moldavia and Bukovina, a priority project of the Romanian Academy), the research team accomplished the first field surveys in 7 localities in Bukovina between 2011 and 2013. The survey was achieved using the latest-generation equipment, which enabled us to post the results of the survey online, on the project’s website (http://www.philippide.ro/alab_new/harta.php). In the second phase of the project, the team aims to extend the ALAB network to 10 new localities and to continue the series of innovative approaches, developing the initial application with a digital archive that will include documents written in the dialectal record (letters and other old documents in informal style), collected from the personal archives of the surveyed subjects, an aspect that will grant a pioneer status to the atlas.

Abstract:

The project consists in the linguistic study of the Romanian meteorological terminology of the atmospheric phenomena, in both its scientific and popular aspects. This analysis is integrated in the realm of lexicological research focused on the lexico-semantic fields of the Romanian language. Considering that the Romanian meteorological language has never been studied before, this proposal is highly original. Considering the impressive range of the research subject, this study will be focused on the atmospheric phenomena in particular – the dominant group in the broader lexico-semantic fields of meteorology. That the goal will be reached within the proposed time frame, is granted by the following aspects: a) Romanian linguists have already started to collaborate with experts in geography; b) the linguists members of the research team associated with the project have already worked toghether on successfully finalized projects similar to this one. The final form will be presented in a 500 p. volume divided in three parts: I) a LINGUISTIC STUDY of the analyzed language from the points of view of: the diastratic composition, the lexical, grammatical etc. analysis of the scientific and the popular (and/or dialectal) terminology, the study of the dominant paradigms from the lexical field etc.; II) a METEOROLOGICAL DICTIONARY OF THE ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENA with over 1000 lexicographic units; III) the representation of a dialectal map in correlation with relevant meteorological maps.

Abstract:

THE PROJECT THE AUDIO-VISUAL LINGUISTIC ATLAS OF BUKOVINA (ALAB). THE FIRST STAGE INTENDS TO ACHIEVE, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE ROMANIAN RESEARCH, A LINGUISTIC ELECTRONIC ATLAS THAT WILL USE THE SOUND-VIDEO IMAGE SYNCRETISM IN RENDERING THE DIALECTAL MATERIAL IN .HTML FORMAT. TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE LATEST RESULTS IN THIS FIELD (SPRACHATLAS DES DOLOMITENLADINISCHEN UND ANGRENZENDER DIALEKTE, ATLAS LINGUISTIQUE AUDIOVISUEL DU VALAIS ROMAND) AND USING OUR OWN EXPERIENCE IN COMPUTERIZING THE NEW ROMANIAN LINGUISTIC ATLAS ON REGIONS. MOLDAVIA AND BUKOVINA (A PROJECT THAT RECEIVED THE OCTAV MAYER PRIZE OF THE IASI BRANCH OF THE ROMANIAN ACADEMY, IN 2006), THE RESEARCHERS’ TEAM WILL ACCOMPLISH FIELDWORKS USING QUESTIONNAIRES AND THE LAST GENERATION TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT THAT WILL ALLOW THE CREATION OF A SITE WITH THE RESULTS OF OUR FIELDWORK IN AUDIO-VIDEO FORMAT. THE INTERFACE WILL BE INTERACTIVE AND WILL PERMIT THE USERS TO HAVE ACCESS TO A LINGUISTIC MATERIAL COMPARABLE FOR THE WHOLE POINTS NETWORK, A MATERIAL THAT WILL BE PRESENTED IN THE CONTEXT IT WAS OBTAINED. THIS METHOD THAT CREATES THE CIRCUMSTANCE OF KEEPING THE SPONTANEITY OF THE ANSWERS OFFERS THE POSSIBILITY OF ANALYZING THE VARIATIONISTE PHENOMENA THAT BECOME CLEAR ON THE PHONETIC LEVEL OF THE SENTENCE (SANDHI PHONETICS) AS WELL AS ON THE SUPRASEGMENTAL LEVEL (INTONATION STRUCTURES) OR EVEN PRAGMATIC (THE USE OF PRAGMATIC CONNECTORS, OF THE CONVERSATIONAL STRATEGIES ETC.). IN CONCLUSION, CORROBORATING A QUESTIONNAIRE MEANT TO BE USED FOR A DOCUMENTATION OF THE LINGUISTIC, PARALINGUISTIC AND NON-LINGUISTIC PHENOMENA WITH A DIGITAL SYNCRETIC TECHNIQUE OF COLLECTING THE LINGUISTIC MATERIAL MAY ACHIEVE AN INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA DOCUMENT DATABASE THAT WILL FACILITATE AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH IN THE ANALYSIS OF THE GEO-AND SOCIOLINGUISTIC VARIATIONS.

Abstract:

Atlasul multimedia prozodic român (AMPRom) este primul atlas prozodic care are ca obiectiv documentarea principalelor modele prozodice (în primul rând intonaţionale) ale varietăţilor limbii române. AMPRom se vrea o completare – în domeniul prozodic – a atlaselor lingvistice româneşti – Atlasul Lingvistic Român (ALR) şi (Noul) Atlas Lingvistic Român, pe regiuni (NALR, ALRR).

Punctul de plecare şi modelul AMPRom este l’Atlas Multimédia Prosodique de l'Éspace Roman (AMPER), ambele atlase fiind în stadiul de proiecte în curs de desfăşurare. AMPRom aplică, cu unele dezvoltări proprii, concepţia, metodologia şi instrumentele de lucru elaborate în cadrul proiectului romanic. Un număr de puncte din reţeaua AMPRom va figura şi în AMPER; partea din atlasul romanic consacrată limbii române : AMPER-ROM[ÂNIA] (http://amprom.uaic.ro/indexamper.php) este contribuţia noastră la reprezentarea limbii române în atlasul prozodic romanic.

Ca atlas informatizat, electronic, AMPRom este o bază de date. Ca atlas multimedia, “vorbitor”, AMPRom conţine enunţuri şi secvenţe înregistrate (în vorbirea proprie a informatorilor), transcrise ortografic şi fonetic, precum şi prelucrarea acustică a acestora, ale cărei rezultate sunt consemnate în fişiere text (1, 2, 3.txt pentru cele trei repetiţii ale unui enunţ şi 0.txt pentru media celor trei repetiţii), cuprinzând principalele trăsături fizice ale fiecărei vocale din enunţ: durata, intensitatea (energia sonoră) maximă şi tonul fundamental (F0) măsurat în câte trei puncte din durata vocalei. Pe baza acestor texte se alcătuiesc grafice de durată şi de intensitate (în formă de histograme), contururi melodice stilizate ale fiecărui enunţ, precum şi contururi medii (formate pe baza celor trei repetiţii ale unui enunţ). Pentru contururile (medii) se creează, prin sinteză, fişiere ton.wav conţinând tonuri muzicale libere de substanţa fonică segmentală ; aceste tonuri sintetice pot fi utilizate mai ales în teste de percepţie şi recunoaştere a modelelor intonative, de evaluare şi autoevaluare.
