The Emergence of a Mixed Type Dialect: The Example of the Dialect of the Bani ˁAbbād Tribe (Jordan)

The present article aims at questioning the status of the šāwi dialect of the Bani ʕAbbād tribe by providing a new analysis of the main distinctive phonological, morphological, and syntactical traits which may hint at dialect mixing. The data provided by the field research, based on a functional framework that relies on descriptive linguistics and a typological approach, show that this dialect is deeply affected by a koineizing tendency due to increasing contacts with the populations of the neighboring areas (especially ʕAmmān and Salṭ) which, in turn, leads to the gradual loss of its authentic features. Finally, this paper discusses whether the dialect of the Bani ʕAbbād should still be considered as belonging to the yigūl group (recently renamed Central Bedouin ygūlu) of the Syro-Mesopotamian sheep-raising tribes or if a new typology of mixed type dialects should eventually be adopted for the dialects displaying important markers of both Bedouin and sedentary types.

Looking for Ephesian workshops: an integrated petrographic, geochemical, and chrono-typological approach to Late Hellenistic Ephesos lamps

In this pilot study, Late Hellenistic mold-made lamps from Ephesos are investigated by combining chrono-morphological and stylistic features with thin-section petrography and neutron activation analysis. Coeval wares of Ephesian production and clay samples collected around the site as well as published data from the Bonn database are considered local reference material. The results point to a network of local/regional workshops sharing facilities and/or a labor force dedicated to distinct tasks. The whole evidence is consistent with the very beginning of a nucleated workshop industry able to optimize the productivity of mold-made wares and fill the demand of an increased regional and supra-regional market. The typological and compositional variability of the latest phases could suggest a gradual transfer of potting activities towards areas providing better-suited clay sources.

Application of the constitutional-typological approach in the study of the morphometric features of the dentition in people with the brachypalatinal type of the palatine arch

The fundamental problem of precision medicine is the division of the population of sick and healthy people into separate individuals, differing in the likelihood of disease occurrence and the ability to respond to various types of therapy. This is mainly due to the individual, constitutional features of the structure, including the dentoalveolar system. The introduction of a constitutional-typological approach in a comprehensive study of the human dentition is an important task of modern dentistry, since it allows one to determine the characteristic morphological and functional characteristics of each individual individual to improve the methods of diagnosis and treatment of dentoalveolar pathology. The article examines the morphometric features of the dentoalveolar system in people with brachypalatinal («wide» and «low») type of palatine vault, as well as their relationship with the shape of dental arches and the size of the inter-incisal angle at a physiological occlusal norm. As a result of the study, the following regularity was determined: the brachypalatinal type of the palatine vault corresponds to «wide» dental arches of the brachygnathic type with an inter-incisal angle of more than 145 degrees. The value of the brachypalatinal index of the palatine fornix, as the ratio of the height of the palate to its width, exceeds 45 percent, and the gnathic index of the dental arches is 0.59 ± 0.03. The data obtained can be used in the clinic of orthodontics, orthopedic dentistry, maxillofacial surgery to assess the parameters of the hard palate, diagnose pathological forms of the palatine fornix and determine the effectiveness of the treatment.

Typology of Balinese Traditional Ornaments in Resort Hotel Buildings in Sawangan, Kuta Selatan, Bali

Referring to the Bali Provincial Regulation Number 5 of 2005 which states that building facades must pay attention to aesthetic principles and characteristics of traditional Balinese architecture. This study aims to analyze the implementation and typology of traditional Balinese ornaments on the building of a resort hotel in Sawangan, Kuta Selatan. The use of ornaments at resorts building in Sawangan is inspired and takes forms from traditional Balinese ornaments. Therefore, it is necessary to study the characteristics of building ornaments through a typological approach and the results are useful in implementing regulations and preserving Balinese cultural values ​​in essential forms, especially in resort hotel architectural design. The method used in this study is a qualitative rationalistic approach to the concept and form of ornaments associated with traditional Balinese ornaments. The results of this study indicate a typology based on the concept of ornament forms and elements that are related or take ideas from traditional Balinese ornaments.

JELAJAH ARKEOLOGI DAN MEMBACA PESAN-PESAN SEJARAH DARI KELAMPAUAN: SUATU PENELITIAN PENDAHULUAN

Archaeological research in Indonesia until the present days, has successfully discovered a diverse historical and archaeological heritage, which are classified as cultural heritage. This cultural heritage is an advice and source of historical information of the past life of the pluralistic Indonesiain ancestor. This cultural heritage beared problems, namely the aspect of typology, sociology and ideology in its contextual relationship that are unlikely to study it now. This research concentrates on the subjects in its relationship to the historical of the past and its relevance to the future of the nation building that not yet studied before. This research is a preliminary study concerning the historical messages of the past. The purpose of this research is to find out the answer of the problems. This research is done through library study for collecting data and the analysis was carried out using typological approach. The result of this study indicater a significance messages are the historical counsciousness, sense of nationalism, and its fundamental relevance for building the future of Indonesian nation. So far it is impossible to get the complete historical messages and sense of nationalism due to it characters such as incomplete, fragile, finite and so on.

Concessive conditionals as a family of constructions

This squib sketches an approach to concessive conditionals (CCs) from the perspective of Radical Construction Grammar (Croft 2001). It brings earlier functional-typological work on CCs to bear on language-particular constructionist analyses of CCs, using the notions of ‘family (of constructions)’ and ‘prototype’ as a bridge. After suggesting how these notions can be applied to CCs under a functional-typological approach, the structure of the CC sub-constructicon in German is discussed, and directions for future research are offered to round the squib off.
