Subject: Re: 17.752 German e-learning? ethnography? consonants in
Turkic languages?
I agree, Mr. McCarthy, that such ethnographic studies are important to
humanities computing. Perhaps we could explore a working group to undertake
some type of research on this matter?
Meanwhile, I have been waxing prosaic on my year as a hyperfiction and
hypertext author. I notice definitive changes in how I write, which is to
say also, how I think (planning and process). And, I have become
increasingly more visual in my work to the point that I am now drawing,
which is to say I am "seeing" things in new ways.
I am fascinated by what I see happening within my artistic being. Also ---
being a hyperstory author makes me a better print writer, I am discovering.
This is an angle I intend to explore further. I want to determine "how" and
"why" this happened.
The other important component -- reading or wreading -- depending on the
theory (ies) in which one believes -- is also altered, I have discovered.
One example: forcing myself to screen read rather than to print hard copies
was a real test of wills, a real breaking of old, comfortable habits. I
still love the printed word, but I have become increasingly more
comfortable with screen reading. I am able to read for entertainment and
for critical analysis whereas before I found screen reading for
entertainment to be an absolute trial.
Sincerely,
Christine Goldbeck

> Dear Humanist colleagues, I have computed several Turkic languages (among
> them Tatar, Turkish, Turkmen, Bashkir, Jakut, Shor, Altaj-Kizhi, Azeri,
> Tuvinian, etc.). I discovered that by the Chi-squire criterion the sonorant
> consonants occur at the end of the word (Auslaut) more than at the
> beginning of the word (Anlaut). It is usually several times greater. I
> wonder if it is the same in other world languages? I mean if the tendency

> other language families. I plan to verify it on the texts of the
> Tungus-Manchurian, Paleo-Asiatic, Indo-European, Finno-Ugric, Samoyedic and
> Finno-Ugric language families. I am writing an article on the use of the
> sonorant consonants at the beginning and end of the word in Turkic and the
> other languages. please, advise me in what journal I may get it published.
