Dialectology in Practice: Notes from Fieldwork in Gozo

The present paper summarizes the fieldwork experience of Maria Lipnicka and Maciej Klimiuk in Gozo, Malta, by reflecting on issues of field research methodology, technology and innovation in order to initiate a discussion on these factors in Semitic dialectology. Most of the paper is dedicated to fieldwork methodology understood as soft skills and includes outlines that the authors applied themselves and found effective. The authors discuss some technological intricacies and describe their ‘off-field’ research for innovative frameworks, both analytical and theoretical, that would fit the fieldwork data and vice versa

Semitic Dialects and Dialectology

Characterised by the multiplicity and diversity of research and methodology, the European tradition of Semitic linguistics has always supported fieldwork and highly valued the data obtained in this way as it allows to create an interesting dynamic for linguistic studies itself. In the spirit of this tradition and to uphold it, the present book is a collection of articles based on data gathered primarily during field research expeditions. The volume is divided into two parts—Studies on various specific linguistic issues and Texts containing previously unpublished transcriptions of audio recordings in Arabic dialects, Maltese and Jibbali/Shehret.Die europäische Tradition der semitischen Linguistik, die sich durch Vielfalt der Forschungsmethoden auszeichnet, hat dialektologische Feldforschung immer hoch geschätzt, da die gewonnenen Sprachaufnahmen im Kontext der älteren Sprachformen gesetzt werden und somit eine hochgradig interessante Dynamik in der Sprachwissenschaft ermöglichen. Im Geiste dieser Tradition und um sie aufrechtzuerhalten, ist das vorliegende Buch eine Sammlung von Artikeln, deren Daten vor allem während der Feldforschung gesammelt wurden. Der Band gliedert sich in zwei Teile - Studien zu verschiedenen spezifischen linguistischen Fragestellungen und Texte mit bisher unveröffentlichten Transkriptionen von Audioaufnahmen in arabischen Dialekten, Maltesisch und Jibbali/Shehret

Metody tworzenia animacji opartych na zjawiskach fizycznych w JavaScript

After Effects (AE) to znakomite narzędzie do tworzenia prototypów bardzo zaawansowanych animacji. Zawsze szukamy sposobów na przyspieszenie naszej pracy i staramy się uprościć edycję. Środowisko AE obsługuje wyrażenia, które tworzą relacje między właściwościami kompozycji lub klatkami kluczowymi, dzięki czemu projektant może animować warstwy bez ręcznego definiowania każdej klatki kluczowej. Praca zawiera pewne instrukcje i skrypty dotyczące modelowania i animacji zjawisk fizycznych, takich jak odbicia od powierzchni, w tym siły tarcia itp. Otrzymane funkcje pozwalają na ich wykorzystanie w wymiarach 2D i 3D.After Effects (AE) is a great tool for prototyping very advanced animations, but we are always looking for ways to speed up our workflow and we strive to simplify editing. AE comes with support for expressions which create relationships between composition properties or keyframes so the designer can animate layers without defining each keyframe by hand. The work contains some instructions regarding modeling and animation of physical phenomena such as reflections from the surface, including friction forces etc. The received functions allow their use in dimensions 2D and 3D
