EU Labour Law complements policy initiatives taken by individual EU countries by setting minimum standards.
In accordance with the Treaty - particularly Article 153 - it adopts laws (directive) that set minimum requirements for:
– See more
The Dutch Parliament is in the process of passing a legislative bill that seeks changes to the Dutch Citizenship Act. The proposed amendments include extending the terms for naturalisation from five to seven years.
Parliamentary debate on the bill, originally scheduled for December 2015, has been postponed until the sixth week of 2016.
The Secretary of Safety and Justice recently answered questions from the Lower House about the legislative bill. We list the main proposed changes below:
The term for naturalisation will be extended from five to seven years. There will be no transitional law.
This means that if you have been in the Netherlands for five years at the time of introduction of the new act, and have not yet applied for naturalisation, you will have to wait another two years until the seven-year term has been reached.
Spouses of Dutch nationals cannot apply for naturalisation until they have been married for three years and are legal residents of the Netherlands. At present, married partners may sometimes include years lived abroad.
It will no longer be possible to file applications for naturalisation from abroad.
Currently, spouses of Dutch nationals abroad may apply from any country other than the country of their nationality. Of course all criteria for naturalisation must be satisfied.
All applicants aged 12 and over (currently 16 and over) must be able to show that they have no criminal record.
In a separate memorandum of amendment the State Secretary proposes extending the term for losing Dutch citizenship, in the event of dual nationality and long-term residency outside the European Union, Aruba, Curacao or St Maarten, from 10 to 15 years.
Consideration by the parliament of the legislative bill will take place in the week of February 8, 2016. Once passed, the amendments are expected to take effect on June 1, 2016.
If you plan to apply for Dutch citizenship and you are in the "waiting period" for naturalisation then it is wise to investigate how the amendments might affect your situation. You may need to take early action to avoid extra waiting time in the future.

October 2015 Meeting Recap
Our Annual Meeting was held at the Okemos Conference Center on Friday, October 23. We were lucky to have some new faces with us, as we welcomed those working on tobacco in the HIV/AIDS population around Michigan!
Matt Phelan and Andrew Schepers from the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network presented on tobacco funding in Michigan, giving us the past, present, and future scenarios.
Lydia Ahlum Hanson from Affirmations did a great presentation on the media campaign that grew out of LGBTQ focus groups that were done the previous year. She showed us the health positive campaign, along with explaining how the media was developed.
We also held our annual elections. Kim Thalison from Ingham County Substance Abuse Coalition, Kelley Mapes from Branch Hillsdale St. Joseph Community Health Agency and Patti Warmington from Cherry Health were re-elected to the board, while Meg Bauer from the Kalamazoo Gay Lesbian Resource Center was newly elected to the board, term starting January 1. Congratulations to all!

Donoso D.A.,University of Oklahoma |
Donoso D.A.,Technical University of Loja
Ecography | Year: 2014
Community ecology seeks to unravel the mechanisms that allow species to coexist in space. Some of the contending mechanisms may generate tractable signatures in the amount of trait and phylogenetic dispersion among co-existing species. When a community presents a pattern with reduced trait or phylogenetic dispersion, mechanisms based on ecological filters are brought into consideration. On the other hand, limiting similarity mechanisms such as competitive exclusion are proposed when communities present patterns of trait or phylogenetic even-dispersion. The strength of these mechanisms likely varies with the spatial scale of an observed sample. I surveyed species-rich tropical litter ant communities in a spatially nested design that allowed me to explore the spatial scales, fine (0.25 m2), intermediate (9 m2), and broad (361 m2) at which these mechanisms act. I then assessed the relationship between observed ant communities and potential species pools ranging in size, from plot, site, and island-wide areas. Patterns of phylogenetic dispersion within ant communities suggested that ant communities were composed of species that were more closely related than expected by a random sampling of phylogenetic pools. The magnitude of phylogenetic 'clustering' increased with the size of the species pool but was similar among communities assembled from different spatial scales. Patterns of dispersion of one ecological trait (i.e. body size) within ant communities also showed clustering of body sizes, and most communities were composed of ant species that were smaller than expected by a random sampling of trait pools. Trait clustering increased with the size of the species pool but decreased at broad spatial scales. Together, these results suggest that ecological filters, not interspecific interactions, are structuring tropical ant communities, favoring clades with small worker sizes. The larger dependency on the size of regional pools than on the spatial scale suggests that environmental heterogeneity is greater among than within the study sites. © 2013 The Author. Source
Reforestation Sites Show Similar and Nested AMF Communities to an Adjacent Pristine Forest in a Tropical Mountain Area of South Ecuador
Haug I.,University of Tubingen |
Setaro S.,Wake forest University |
Suarez J.P.,Technical University of Loja
PLoS ONE | Year: 2013
Arbuscular mycorrhizae are important for growth and survival of tropical trees. We studied the community of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in a tropical mountain rain forest and in neighbouring reforestation plots in the area of Reserva Biológica San Francisco (South Ecuador). The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi were analysed with molecular methods sequencing part of the 18 S rDNA. The sequences were classified as Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs). We found high fungal species richness with OTUs belonging to Glomerales, Diversisporales and Archaeosporales. Despite intensive sampling, the rarefaction curves are still unsaturated for the pristine forest and the reforestation plots. The communities consisted of few frequent and many rare species. No specific interactions are recognizable. The plant individuals are associated with one to ten arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and mostly with one to four. The fungal compositions associated with single plant individuals show a great variability and variety within one plant species. Planted and naturally occurring plants show high similarities in their fungal communities. Pristine forest and reforestation plots showed similar richness, similar diversity and a significantly nested structure of plant-AMF community. The results indicate that small-scale fragmentation presently found in this area has not destroyed the natural AMF community, at least yet. Thus, the regeneration potential of natural forest vegetation at the tested sites is not inhibited by a lack of appropriate mycobionts. © 2013 Haug et al. Source
Application of GIS and remote sensing techniques in generation of land use scenarios for hydrological modeling
Onate-Valdivieso F.,Technical University of Loja |
Bosque Sendra J.,University of Alcala
Journal of Hydrology | Year: 2010
This research studies the change in land use in a binational hydrographic basin in South America. In addition, a future perspective for land use is generated according to the trends in the development observed. A multi-temporal analysis of land use change is carried out and variables that can explain the observed transitions will be selected. The relations between changes and explicative variables are studied in order to stochastically model future land use maps. Persistence was found to be the predominant state. Higher transitions were observed in the zones of boundaries between categories. Biophysical variables had the most explicative power with a better performance of the model based on logistic regression than the one made by using neural networks. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. Source
A unified description of particles, strings and branes in Clifford spaces and p-brane/polyparticle duality
Castro C.,Technical University of Loja
International Journal of Geometric Methods in Modern Physics | Year: 2016
It is described how the Extended Relativity Theory in C-spaces (Clifford spaces) allows a unified formulation of point particles, strings, membranes and p-branes, moving in ordinary target spacetime backgrounds, within the description of a single polyparticle moving in C-spaces. The degrees of freedom of the latter are provided by Clifford polyvector-valued coordinates (antisymmetric tensorial coordinates). A correspondence between the p-brane (p-loop) "Schrödinger-like" equations of Ansoldi-Aurilia-Spallucci and the polyparticle wave equation in C-spaces is found via the polyparticle/p-brane correspondence. This correspondence might provide another unexplored avenue to quantize p-branes (a notoriously difficult and unsolved problem) from the more straightforward quantization of the polyparticle in C-spaces, even in the presence of external interactions. We conclude with comments about the compositeness nature of the polyvector-valued coordinate operators in terms of ordinary p-brane coordinates via the evaluation of n-ary commutators. © 2016 World Scientific Publishing Company.

Behavior of Ad Hoc routing protocols, analyzed for emergency and rescue scenarios, on a real urban area
Quispe L.E.,Technical University of Loja |
Galan L.M.,Polytechnic University of Mozambique
Expert Systems with Applications | Year: 2014
A mobile Ad Hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes that can dynamically configure a network without a fixed infrastructure or central administration. This makes it ideal for emergency and rescue scenarios, where sharing information is essential and should occur as soon as possible. This article discusses which of the routing strategies for mobile MANETs: proactive, reactive or hierarchical, has a better performance in such scenarios. By selecting a real urban area for the emergency and rescue scenario, we calculated the density of nodes and the mobility model needed for the validation study of AODV, DSDV and CBRP in the routing model. The NS2 simulator has been used for our study. We also show that the hierarchical routing strategies are better suited for this type of scenarios. © 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Source


text: Paris Does Bike Sharing Better Than Your Lousy Citymichelinemaynard7/24/13 9:00amFiled to: VelibCurbing Carsbike sharingParis862EditPromoteShare to KinjaGo to permalink People want to hate the French, but it's hard to top Paris for food, fashion and romance. It also can claim to be the most enthusiastic bike sharing city on the planet. Advertisement Paris' bike sharing program, Velib, just celebrated its sixth anniversary, and it trounces other global cities in a number of categories, according to this wonderful infographic. A few of its accomplishments: Advertisement There's one Velib rental bike for every 97 Parisians. That companies with one for every 145 residents of Hangzou, China, one for each 300 people in Montreal and a paltry one for every 8,336 New Yorkers. (Of course, some hipster will find that far more desirable than having so many bikes available.)A Velib is checked out every second in Paris. There have been 173 million rides since Velib went into operation in 2007.Velib users have burned 19 million calories gliding through the streets of Paris. They would have generated 121 million watts of electricity, enough to light the Eiffel Tower for six evenings.The French bike sharers have saved the earth 137 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. The oldest user among them is 88 years old. Among visitors, the bikes are most popular with Brits, followed by people from Holland and Germany.Velib gets credit from Bikeocity for spurring the race among cities to add bike sharing programs. Even Detroit has quietly gotten a program, although you have to work for Quicken Loans to take part.So, salut to Velib, and of course, it's one more thing the French can claim to do better than us.

Hi Jen, it happened to me! I had my stim cycle which failed than I was supposed to have a month break and start my natural cycle but my period was late! I'm normally 30-31 days and it was 43! I called the doc office and he said its pretty normal to be a bit of all over the shop after the medicated cycle. Your body is a bit out of whack so stay positive & patience. It will come one day soon! I also didn't feel like my AF will come at all... No sore boobs, no cramps at all... I was very bloated though, understandably! Then I've got it and the first day was really painful the rest was normal
Now im in 2ww... Yay
Good luck an keep us posted xxx
Aneczka 😜
Aneczka, Thank you for making me feel 'normal', that's a tough feat in these circumstances so really thank you! I feel like it will be all okay just so unsure of it all sometimes which is IVF I'm certain.
Good luck with your 2ww, fingers crossed for you

Hi Jen 1978, Im currently 4 days into my TTW on a natural thaw cycle. My transfer after my first IVF/ICSI cycle was cancelled due to OHSS so I then had to wait for my AF as well to start again..it did come a bit late but the nurses said that's completely normal due to your body being a bit out of wack. Just to let you know also I am normally spot on every month with a 28 day cycle but when they were testing my blood for my surge in this cycle it just wasn't coming (or so i thought) I stressed myself out for days wondering why it wasn't happening when normally I would surge on the 24th and ovulate on the 25th and I convinced myself it wasn't going to happen but IT DID My surge happened on the 30th and I ovulated on the 31st and had my 2DT on the 2nd of July....so don't stress yourself out (I know its hard not to) and remember our bodies do all sorts of strange things during our IVF journies, you'll get there...keeping for you and sending you loads of luck
Jen1978 (06-07-2013)
Emzy5 thanks so much for the info you have helped with the anxiety! I start with the ovulation test on Wednesday morning And thanks for the good vibes!
How are you doing in the 2ww this time around?
Wishing everyone well and luck
Sent from my GT-I9100T using The Bub Hub mobile app
Emzy I had BFN all the way up to 2 days before BT I stopped testing because I was devastated and I couldn't change the outcome! But went for blood test and BOOM pregnant I had HCG of 250 so not huge that's why it wasn't showing up in pee tests. I was so sure I wasn't pregnant and I was so sure I was getting my period I ran to the toilet every 2 mins to Check, the cramps were horrible I rang FS all the time she just kept saying u poor ovaries have been thru so much we poked and prodded them and it could be early signs of pregnancy so please don't give up hope!
MariaA (11-07-2013)
Today was our first appointment with our FS.
we had a fertility test done just to see that we are ok and that ages of late 30's weren't an issue for pregnancy as a possibility.
I suppose in the back if our heads we kind of expected it all to be ok, but then it wasn't.
i haven't taken in much in today's meeting.
i am ok, in fact super happy healthy follicles and ovaries, yah! But my husband only had about 2million sperm in the 1ml sample, so really low, some mobile some not. I can't think of what else she said.
The FS said that even if a sperm did get to the egg, there wouldn't be enough if them to breakdown the protective barrier of the egg and let one little guy in to fertilise.
We have a whole lot of tests that we now need to undergo, especially him of course, testes ultrasound, bloods etc.
We are using Repromed in Adelaide.
I don't even know what questions we have, we don't know which way to turn at the moment. I just wanted to reach out.
Pregnant for the first-time?
Not sure where to start? We can help!

Shia LaBeouf
this wiki
- ―Shia LaBeouf, to numerous individuals.
|Shia LaBeouf
|Biographical information
Assumed to be Tatooine
When his mom JUST DID IT!
|Physical description
|Chronological and political information
Anyone who JUST DOES IT!
|Known apprentices
History Edit
Early Life Edit
Many believe Shia was born on Tatooine (or at least visited there once), like everyone else of any importance. At some point he found by the Jedi Order and trained. When? We don't know! What, did you the we've stalked him his whole life?
Dawn of Do ItEdit
During a time of great conflict, rumored to be the Mandalorian Wars, Shiawalker couldn't stand watching the Jedi Council sit idly by while billions of lives were being lost, so he took matters into his own hands and gave his now famous speech to the Jedi Masters and, after they still refused to act, left the Order to fight for the Republic, whom he led to victory thanks to his brilliant straight-forward strategies. After his service he began his long quest get things done, and went on to found the Philosophy of Doitism, motivating trillions of sentients, which led to a prosperous time where actual decisions were being made, even in the Galactic Senate. His actions blessed him with the Beard of Katarn.
Decline of the RepublicEdit
Years later however, despite Shia's efforts, laziness began to fill the senate once more. However, on Naboo he found a promising young politician whom he took on as a pupil, and motivated him to further his political career, become a Sith, take on an apprentice of his own, kill his teacher, and set up an Invasion of Naboo as an excuse to become Chancellor.
Anakin and the Clone WarsEdit
After restoring political expedience to the Republic, Shia roamed the Galaxy seeking out others to motivate, and found Anakin Skywalker, a whiny young Padawan from guess where. He helped Anakin get the girl, kill the Sand People (like animals), go to save Obi-Wan Kenobi (only to just get captured) and charge at Count Dooku like an idiot. Meanwhile, he motivated the Senate to start the Clone Wars against the Confederacy of Independent Systems, during which he once again served in the Republic Military, helping win victory after victory.
Fall of the JediEdit
In the final days of the war, Shia played an important role in Palpatine's plot against the Jedi, such as the death of Dooku at the hands of Skywalker, turning Anakin to the Dark Side and the execution of Order 66 (with extra fries).
The Dark TimesEdit
After the success of Order 66 (with extra fries), Shia continued to serve the Galactic Empire as one of Emperor Palpatine's most trusted advisers, motivating progress, conquest, genocide, democide, wookicide, muunicide, environmental destruction, use of excessive force, making good on threats, the revealing of the location of Rebel Bases, the destruction of said bases and the construction of fully armed and operational battle stations. His greatest accomplishments are motivating the dissolution of the pit of never-ending boredom that was the Galactic Senate and the sudden disappearance of Alderaan.
Luke SkywalkerEdit
However, his Imperial service ended when he found another whiny young guy from Tatooine whom he decided to motivate to join the Rebel Alliance and blow up the Death Star. He would later help Yoda train Luke in the ways of the force.

text: Posted April 28, 2007 I've been scouring the web as best I can, digging and digging through pages, .pdf's, and scientific abstracts. All to answer a question that has been bugging me: To what extent do white-tailed deer use coniferous bogs? I can't seem to find anything in the literature. A what, you ask? One of these: described by the USGS here.. You see, my deer hunting area borders a very large one and I've never been entirely sure if the deer really use it. Yes, they use it for refuge at times when pressured--and they do seem to walk around it in the red-osier dog wood or black spruce that border it. But do they live and eat in there? Something in an aerial photo that looks like this: The text markings from left to right say "Low Grass and Sparse Cattails Wet!", "Coniferous Bog", "Black Ash", and "Upland". In other words, is it worth a Herculean effort for me to go back there and hunt it? Are there other Minnesota hunters who have land near these types of ecosystems and do you have any theories or information relative to deer use of them? Comments and discussions would be much appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A friend has asked me to post this here as he has noticed a few small wart like bumps just under his foreskin. Obviously wants to get this sorted asap but wants to know if it will affect his training. Not the usual type of question, but some genuine information on this delicate matter would be very much apprieciated.

Early Deposit Banking
Meir Kohn
Dartmouth College - Department of Economics
February 1999
Dartmouth College, Department of Economics Working Paper No. 99-03
This paper describes the development of the deposit bank in Europe to 1600. Deposit banks allowed customers to make payments by transferring deposits on the books of the bank rather than by settling in coin. The paper describes how such payments were made and what kinds of transactions they were used for. Deposit banks developed into financial intermediaries, and the paper examines their liabilities, their assets, the methods they used to manage liquidity and risk, and the regulation to which they were subject. The authorities responded to increasingly frequent failures of deposit banks by establishing public banks.

I found very professional the mechanics and they have done a quick and good service to my Range Rover Sport v8. I will come back to that Garage in the future. The owner Patrick is as well plenty of good advices to help and resolve car problems
Where to start! I had two problems with my Range Rover sport, handbrake module and starter motor. Both needing replacing! Contacted Patrick a very genuine guy who will go the extra mile to keep his customers extremely happy. Loyal to his word and gets the job done to the highest standard. He has great mechanical knowledge, with years of experience in the industry. Thank you for your great work! Will be recommending you to friends and family. Thanks again pat!!!!
Excellent service, another happy customer!
Very impressed with Patrick and his garage. Keeps you up to date with everything. Very professional. A very trustful and knowledgable mechanic who I shall be recommending to friends and family. . . . Looks like I've found myself a new mechanic for me and my wife's car!
I Had my Cambelt and water pump changed, the best price I could find local to me, overall amazing value! highly recommended. Great service, professional, explained all the detail. Will come back for servicing and MOT in few months
Great service, professional, explained all the detail, showed real care for the work he was doing, and changed my light bulb as well. That is going above and beyond for the customer, will be recommending for sure
Couldn't be happier. Kept informed, and advised of what needed doing and what could wait. Will definitely use them again.
I am very satisfied with the Service offered by Anees Autocare Centre. It was also the best price I could fine, overall amazing value! highly recommended.
I managed to book a service appointment with Anees very quickly and I can say I am really happy with the service provided. Anees used the spare parts I provided and explained everything he did and he also took pictures of the brake pads to show me that they didn't need replacement yet and saved me £20 of the labor cost from the initially agreed price. He also cleaned the engine for free which was an unexpected positive surprise. I recommend Anees and I intent to go back for my next service. Thanks!
It was a quick jobs with 1 year warranty. Pleased.
A wonderful experience. Efficient, diligent, and extremely helpful. Highly recommend and will most certainly be going back for future services and repairs.
This is the best garage for customer service and value for money. They have certainly been the best I have used so far. If you are looking for someone to fix your car in and around London, please GML Auto mechanic is the best. I am certainly going back to this garage next time I have any issues and I will seriously recommend them to anyone requiring their services. Great fantastic quick service changed my Jaguar's clutch plus a year's warranty or 10,000 miles wow! that is great value for money !!
Finally have found a decent Garage. Nina was a pleasure to deal with. Polite and welcoming. Dropped car off at 9am for Cambelt replacement and waterpump and was ready by 2 pm . Great service no messing about and very well priced. This will definitely be my regular Garage . Thanks Guys see you soon .
Great place to fix your car. Everything went smoothly and they went the extra mile. Clutch fixed and flywheel. Will use their service again. Thank you!
Very professional...completed the job in time. no issues so far...I would recommend to anyone
Top marks. Highly recommended , stuck to price quoted. Honest and polite.
Brilliant service, highly recommend.
Nearly half price anyone else, quick, efficient and polite.
Lee arrived on time, was very courteous and professional. He carried out the work extremely quickly and to a high standard. I will definitely call him again if i need a mechanic and highly recommend his services. Many thanks.
Anthony did great job for a fair price. Next time I will definetely ring ahead to check he will be in the garage before setting out.
Perfect job without any additional cost. On time with the good price. One of my head light was not working. They fix it without any additional cost. Definitely I will use this garage in the future. Highly recommended.
Could Never Recommend this Garage - Agreed price was £50 for diagnosing issue. Then Anthony said he could recalibrate lock if he had an extra 3hrs. They closed in 30mins when I collected car he wanted £150. He said he recalibrated lock however it was gauranteed to fail! So why recalibrate? Started car no lights, worse experience ever..stay well clear.
a great friendly service, saved me over £800 on a main dealer quote by inspecting what needed to be replaced rather than fitting a new DMF along with the clutch kit as per the main dealer. contacted me about worn brakes also and quoted a very reasonable price. All the work was done to a high standard and on time ..
All the staff were very friendly. A warm drink was provided whilst we waited. The cost was as quoted. Would definately use again.
Excellent service! Very professional and very good value for the service. I will certainly use them again soon for the MOT. Thanks
Done a good job, had no problems so far, very frendly staff, would definitely recommend.
Very good work, and very helpful and friendly.
Totally impressed with the friendliness of staff and the time it took to replace my heater matrix. Would recommend to friends and colleagues Excellent service Jackie Peugeot 308

Structured Interview for DSM-IV Personality (SIDP-IV) by Bruce Pfohl
Book DescriptionUpdated for DSM-IV, the Structured Interview for DSM-IV Personality (SIDP-IV) is a semi-structured interview that uses nonpejorative questions to examine behavior and personality traits from the patient's perspective. The SIDP-IV is organized by topic sections rather than disorder to allow for a more natural conversational flow, a method that gleans useful information from related interview questions and produces a more accurate diagnosis. Designed as a follow-up to a general psychiatric interview and chart review that assesses episodic psychiatric disorders, the SIDP-IV helps the interviewer to more easily distinguish lifelong behavior from temporary states that result from an episodic psychiatric disorder. During the session, the interviewer can also refer to the specific DSM-IV criterion associated with that question set. In the event that the clinician decides to interview a third-party informant such as family members or close friends, a consent form is provided at the end of the interview. With this useful, concise interview in hand, clinicians can move quickly from diagnosis to treatment and begin to improve their patient's quality of life. This is a package of 5.

Yahhh emski congrats on the scan and great news on the wee little lady!
emski72 (10-06-2014)
@emski72 - congrats on ur baby girl! So happy for you
@Molros - I can't believe how insensitive family can be. They're suppose to be the ones to nurture and support you, yet the "bad" ones end up hurting you more than a stranger would. I agree with the other ladies, try and take yourself away from the negative feelings and vibes you get from them. You and your baby don't need that extra stress.
@Wishnhope - I try to eliminate myself from people who upset me, and for someone on BH to do that to you? Just tell her to go away and block her. You do not need to waste ur time or energy on her. She has no idea what you've gone through in life and she has no right to berate you for something you thought was a nice thing to do. No one's pain is worse than another person' sand for her to try and compare hers to yours is ignorant and inconsiderate. Don't think about it anymore.
Hi to everyone else! @kymbo thanks for the Medicare app...will try it out.
PS I had a "OMG I'm HAVING A BABY MOMENT" on the weekend. Lol
Congrats emski on a good scan and your little girl!!!
I'm so hanging out to know what I'm having! Also starting to get nervous for my next scan. It feels like such a long time since my last one (4 weeks) and still 3 weeks till scan. I hope everything is ok it's so hard not knowing!
Anatomy scan tomorrow, nervous and excited as usual.
Congrats Emski!!
I wish I was finding out!! 😳

Franz Rainer
Blocking can be defined as the non-occurrence of some linguistic form, whose existence could be expected on general grounds, due to the existence of a rival form. *Oxes, for example, is blocked by oxen, *stealer by thief. Although blocking is closely associated with morphology, in reality the competing "forms" can not only be morphemes or words, but can also be syntactic units. In German, for example, the compound Rotwein 'red wine' blocks the phrasal unit *roter Wein (in the relevant sense), just as the phrasal unit rote Rübe 'beetroot; lit. red beet' blocks the compound *Rotrübe. In these examples, one crucial factor determining blocking is synonymy; speakers apparently have a deep-rooted presumption against synonyms. Whether homonymy can also lead to a similar avoidance strategy, is still controversial. But even if homonymy blocking exists, it certainly is much less systematic than synonymy blocking.
In all the examples mentioned above, it is a word stored in the mental lexicon that blocks a rival formation. However, besides such cases of lexical blocking, one can observe blocking among productive patterns. Dutch has three suffixes for deriving agent nouns from verbal bases, -er, -der, and -aar. Of these three suffixes, the first one is the default choice, while -der and -aar are chosen in very specific phonological environments: as Geert Booij describes in The Morphology of Dutch (2002), "the suffix -aar occurs after stems ending in a coronal sonorant consonant preceded by schwa, and -der occurs after stems ending in /r/" (p. 122). Contrary to lexical blocking, the effect of this kind of pattern blocking does not depend on words stored in the mental lexicon and their token frequency but on abstract features (in the case at hand, phonological features).
Blocking was first recognized by the Indian grammarian Pāṇini in the 5th or 4th century
Child Phonology
Yvan Rose
Child phonology refers to virtually every phonetic and phonological phenomenon observable in the speech productions of children, including babbles. This includes qualitative and quantitative aspects of babbled utterances as well as all behaviors such as the deletion or modification of the sounds and syllables contained in the adult (target) forms that the child is trying to reproduce in his or her spoken utterances. This research is also increasingly concerned with issues in speech perception, a field of investigation that has traditionally followed its own course; it is only recently that the two fields have started to converge. The recent history of research on child phonology, the theoretical approaches and debates surrounding it, as well as the research methods and resources that have been employed to address these issues empirically, parallel the evolution of phonology, phonetics, and psycholinguistics as general fields of investigation. Child phonology contributes important observations, often organized in terms of developmental time periods, which can extend from the child's earliest babbles to the stage when he or she masters the sounds, sound combinations, and suprasegmental properties of the ambient (target) language. Central debates within the field of child phonology concern the nature and origins of phonological representations as well as the ways in which they are acquired by children. Since the mid-1900s, the most central approaches to these questions have tended to fall on each side of the general divide between generative vs. functionalist (usage-based) approaches to phonology. Traditionally, generative approaches have embraced a universal stance on phonological primitives and their organization within hierarchical phonological representations, assumed to be innately available as part of the human language faculty. In contrast to this, functionalist approaches have utilized flatter (non-hierarchical) representational models and rejected nativist claims about the origin of phonological constructs. Since the beginning of the 1990s, this divide has been blurred significantly, both through the elaboration of constraint-based frameworks that incorporate phonetic evidence, from both speech perception and production, as part of accounts of phonological patterning, and through the formulation of emergentist approaches to phonological representation. Within this context, while controversies remain concerning the nature of phonological representations, debates are fueled by new outlooks on factors that might affect their emergence, including the types of learning mechanisms involved, the nature of the evidence available to the learner (e.g., perceptual, articulatory, and distributional), as well as the extent to which the learner can abstract away from this evidence. In parallel, recent advances in computer-assisted research methods and data availability, especially within the context of the PhonBank project, offer researchers unprecedented support for large-scale investigations of child language corpora. This combination of theoretical and methodological advances provides new and fertile grounds for research on child phonology and related implications for phonological theory.
Children's Acquisition of Syntactic Knowledge
Rosalind Thornton
Children's acquisition of language is an amazing feat. Children master the syntax, the sentence structure of their language, through exposure and interaction with caregivers and others but, notably, with no formal tuition. How children come to be in command of the syntax of their language has been a topic of vigorous debate since Chomsky argued against Skinner's claim that language is 'verbal behavior.' Chomsky argued that knowledge of language cannot be learned through experience alone but is guided by a genetic component. This language component, known as 'Universal Grammar,' is composed of abstract linguistic knowledge and a computational system that is special to language. The computational mechanisms of Universal Grammar give even young children the capacity to form hierarchical syntactic representations for the sentences they hear and produce. The abstract knowledge of language guides children's hypotheses as they interact with the language input in their environment, ensuring they progress toward the adult grammar. An alternative school of thought denies the existence of a dedicated language component, arguing that knowledge of syntax is learned entirely through interactions with speakers of the language. Such 'usage-based' linguistic theories assume that language learning employs the same learning mechanisms that are used by other cognitive systems. Usage-based accounts of language development view children's earliest productions as rote-learned phrases that lack internal structure. Knowledge of linguistic structure emerges gradually and in a piecemeal fashion, with frequency playing a large role in the order of emergence for different syntactic structures.
Connectionism in Linguistic Theory
Xiaowei Zhao
Connectionism is an important theoretical framework for the study of human cognition and behavior. Also known as Parallel Distributed Processing (PDP) or Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), connectionism advocates that learning, representation, and processing of information in mind are parallel, distributed, and interactive in nature. It argues for the emergence of human cognition as the outcome of large networks of interactive processing units operating simultaneously. Inspired by findings from neural science and artificial intelligence, connectionism is a powerful computational tool, and it has had profound impact on many areas of research, including linguistics. Since the beginning of connectionism, many connectionist models have been developed to account for a wide range of important linguistic phenomena observed in monolingual research, such as speech perception, speech production, semantic representation, and early lexical development in children. Recently, the application of connectionism to bilingual research has also gathered momentum. Connectionist models are often precise in the specification of modeling parameters and flexible in the manipulation of relevant variables in the model to address relevant theoretical questions, therefore they can provide significant advantages in testing mechanisms underlying language processes.
Innateness of Language
Yarden Kedar
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Linguistics. Please check back later for the full article.
The concept of innateness (innate is first recorded in the period 1375–1425; from Latin innātus "inborn") relates to types of behavior and knowledge that are present in the organism since birth (in fact, since fertilization), prior to any sensory experience with the environment. The term has been applied to two general types of qualities. The first consists of instinctive and inflexible reflexes and behaviors, which are apparent in survival, mating, and rearing activities. The other relates to cognition, with certain concepts, ideas, propositions, and particular ways of mental computation suggested to be part of one's biological makeup. While both types of innatism have a long history in human philosophy and science (e.g., Plato and Descartes), some bias appears to exist in favor of claims for inherent behavioral traits, which are typically accepted when satisfactory empirical evidence is provided. One famous example is Lorenz's demonstration of imprinting, a natural phenomenon that obeys a predetermined mechanism and schedule (Lorenz's incubator-hatched goslings imprinted on his boots, the first moving object they encountered). Likewise, there seems to be little controversy in regard to predetermined ways of organizing sensory information, as is the case with the detection and classification of shapes and colors by the mind. In contrast, the idea that certain types of abstract knowledge may be part of an organism's biological endowment (i.e., not learned) is typically faced with a greater sense of skepticism, and touches on a fundamental question in epistemological philosophy: Can reason be based (to a certain extent) on a priori knowledge—that is, knowledge that precedes and is independent of experience? The most influential and controversial claim for such innate knowledge in modern science is Chomsky's breakthrough nativist theory of Universal Grammar in language and the famous "Argument from the Poverty of the Stimulus." The main Chomskyan hypothesis is that all human beings share a preprogrammed linguistic infrastructure consisting of a finite collection of rules that, in principle, may generate (through combination or transformation) an infinite number of (only) grammatical sentences. Thus, the innate grammatical system constrains and structures the acquisition and use of all natural languages.
Second Language Acquisition of Japanese
Masahiko Minami
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Linguistics. Please check back later for the full article.
Issues surrounding the acquisition/learning of a second language (L2)—including bilingualism—in any language are fairly complicated. This is because the process of second language acquisition (SLA) is multifaceted, involving various linguistic and non-linguistic factors. No one doubts that individuals are capable of acquiring two or even more languages at different stages of human development, particularly in childhood. But research investigating how adults acquire two languages carries important insights into what takes place during later stages of human development. From the fact that early and late bilinguals are faced with two languages in diverse stages of cognitive development, we can predict differences in language processing between these two groups.
Language has the structure and properties necessary to satisfy both the linguistic and communicative functions it is supposed to serve. Part of the SLA-related complication comes from the fact that the structural/functional features apply not only to first language acquisition (FLA) but also to SLA. Thus, we need to examine both FLA and SLA research from comprehensive perspectives. In fact, SLA research has followed in the footsteps of FLA research in its methodology and in many issues that it has treated. In addition to formal and functional theories, different approaches have been proposed, including psycholinguistic approaches and sociocultural approaches to SLA. Despite the fact that empirical and theoretical research on language has recently experienced a period of extensive growth, in the case of the Japanese language, unfortunately, far fewer studies—particularly studies written in English—have been presented on adult L2 learners and bilingual children. It is imperative to integrate theoretical concepts and empirical research findings in SLA of Japanese, so that they can eventually be applied to educational practice.
To approach an understanding of current issues in SLA in Japanese, readers must be familiar with characteristics of the Japanese language. SLA studies also touch on a deliberately wide spectrum of domains of general linguistic knowledge (e.g., phonology and phonetics, morphology, lexicon, semantics, syntax, discourse), context of language use (e.g., interactive conversation, narrative), research orientations (e.g., formal linguistics, psycholinguistics, social psychology, sociolinguistics), and age groups (e.g., children, adults). By connecting past SLA research findings in English and current concerns in Japanese-as-a-second-language (including corpus linguistics), the topic of SLA in Japanese provides an overview of the field of Japanese linguistics and its critical issues.
Second Language Processing and Linguistic Theory
John Archibald
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Linguistics. Please check back later for the full article.
The distinction between representations and processes is central to most models of the cognitive science of language. Linguistic theory informs the types of representations assumed, and these representations are what are taken to be the targets of second language acquisition. Epistemologically, this is often taken to be knowledge, or knowledge-that. Techniques such as Grammaticality-Judgement tasks are paradigmatic as we seek to gain insight into what a learner's grammar looks like. Learners behave as if certain phonological, morphological, or syntactic strings (which may or may not be target-like) were well-formed. It is the task of the researcher to understand the nature of the knowledge that governs those well-formedness beliefs.
Traditional accounts of processing, on the other hand, look to the real-time use of language, either in production or perception, and invoke discussions of skill or knowledge-how. A range of experimental psycholinguistic techniques have been used to assess these skills: self-paced reading, eye-tracking, ERPs, priming, lexical decision, AXB discrimination, etc. Such online measures can show us how we do language when it comes to activities such as production or comprehension.
There has long been a connection between linguistic theory and theories of processing as evidenced by the work of Berwick (The Grammatical Basis of Linguistic Performance). The task of the parser is to assign abstract structure to a phonological, morphological, or syntactic string; structure that does not come directly labelled in the acoustic input. Such processing studies as the Garden Path phenomenon have revealed that grammaticality and processability are distinct constructs.
In some models, however, the distinction between grammar and processing is less distinct. Phillips says that "parsing is grammar", while O'Grady builds an emergentist theory with no grammar, only processing. Bayesian models of acquisition, and indeed of knowledge, assume that the grammars we set up are governed by a principle of entropy, which governs other aspects of human behavior; knowledge and skill are combined. Exemplar models view the processing of the input as a storing of all phonetic detail that is in the environment, not storing abstract categories; the categories emerge via a process of comparing exemplars.
Linguistic theory helps us to understand the processing of input to acquire new L2 representations, and the access of those representations in real time.
