Gerd Carling – författare

Språket, människan och världen är en introduktion till lingvistik, utvecklad för gymnasiekurserna Människans språk 1 och 2 på det humanistiska programmet. I läromedlet lotsas eleverna genom språkvetenskapens olika delar. Här presenteras grunderna i ämnet, liksom den nyaste forskningen. Tanken är att eleverna ska få stifta bekantskap med en bred palett av språklig allmänbildning, snarare än detaljer om enskilda språk. ELEVPAKETET – TRYCKT BOK OCH DIGITALT LÄROMEDEL Elevpaketet består av en tryckt bok och ett digitalt läromedel. I 15 kapitel behandlas språket som system (ljudsystem, böjningssystem, satsbyggnad, skriftsystem), språkets sociala, psykologiska, historiska och biologiska aspekter, språkinlärning, språkteknologi, psykolingvistik och läs- och skrivforskning samt olika metoder för att undersöka språk. Och med många exempel illustreras världens språkliga mångfald och var svenskan placerar sig i denna mångfald. Språket, människan och världen är skriven av ett tjugotal författare, verksamma som lärare, forskare och doktorander i lingvistik och närbesläktade ämnen vid Lunds universitet.DET DIGITALA LÄROMEDLET Den interaktiva elevboken är inläst med autentiskt tal och textföljning. Dessutom finns ett stort antal faktafördjupningar, ljudexempel och interaktiva övningar där eleverna bland annat kan arbeta med sin förståelse av ämnesbegrepp. • Interaktiv version av boken, inläst med autentiskt tal och textföljning • Faktafördjupningar • Ljudexempel • Interaktiva uppgifter I det digitala läromedlet kan eleverna söka i innehållet. De kan också göra egna anteckningar och markera viktiga stycken i texten. Anteckningarna sparas automatiskt och kan enkelt samlas ihop och skrivas ut. Det digitala läromedlet kan användas på dator, surfplatta och till stor del i mobil.

Att romani har sitt ursprung i indoariskan, liksom att det finns ord i svenskan som är lånade från romani, är sedan länge känt. Men frågetecken kvarstår. Med vilket språk eller dialekt i Indien är romani närmast besläktad? Och finns det något kvar av den romani som kom till Sverige för mer än 500 år sedan? I boken ingår ett lexikon över ord i svenskan med romaniursprung samt olika tabeller och kartor över dialekter och språkgrupper.

Scandoromani: Remnants of a Mixed Language is the first, comprehensive, international description of the language of the Swedish and Norwegian Romano, also labeled resande/reisende. The language, an official minority language in Sweden and Norway, has a history in Scandinavia going back to the early 16th century. A mixed language of Romani and Scandinavian, it is spoken today by a vanishingly small population of mainly elderly people. This book is based on in-depth linguistic interviews with two native speakers of different families (one of whom is the co-author) as well as reviews of earlier sources on Scandoromani. The study reveals a number of interesting features of the language, as well as of mixed languages in general. In particular, the study gives support to the model of autonomy of mixed languages.

Linguistic Archaeology provides students with an accessible introduction to the field of linguistic archaeology, both as theoretical framework and methodological toolkit, for understanding the conceptual foundations and practical considerations involved in reconstructing the prehistory of language.The book introduces the field’s expansion out of traditional approaches to focus more on the interplay of related disciplines and the reconstruction of human language beyond the written period. The opening chapter outlines key theories and charts their development from the nineteenth century through to today, drawing on work from computational historical linguistics, phylogenetics, and linguistic anthropology. Subsequent chapters build on theory to take a hands-on approach in mining empirical data in the process of reconstructing language prehistory, including references, links, and instructions to open access resources, and offering a step-by-step guide for employing the rich range of available methods in working with this data. Closing chapters situate theory and method in context against chronological and geographic perspectives and look ahead to future trajectories for continued progress in this emerging area of study.Offering a holistic entry point into linguistic archaeology, this innovative volume will be a helpful resource for students in historical linguistics, linguistic anthropology, language evolution, and cultural geography.

This volume deals with the use of the local cases in Tocharian A and Tocharian B, Indo-European languages of the Tarim Basin, Eastern Central Asia, of the 6th to 9th centuries AD. Tocharian is basically inflectional-agglutinative, and this ten-dency is dominant in the case system. This study concentrates on the local cases expressing location and direction (i.e. oblique, allative, perlative, and locative) in case constructions and adpositional phrases expressing local and temporal relations. A theoretical discussion of the nature of the local cases and a possible evolution of their functions from Proto-Tocharian to Tocharian A and Tocharian B concludes this study.

The notion of cultural aspects of language variation and change is a growing field. However, collective works on the current stance within this domain are still scarce. The Mouton Atlas of Languages and Cultures embraces a substantial part of the Eurasian continent and equips the reader to better observe, reconstruct and understand the impact of culture and cultural changes on language diversity and linguistic developments. Along the way, a fascinating range of interdisciplinary issues, from database encoding conventions to etymologies and cultural anthropology, are discussed.

Based on an extensive database assembled by Gerd Carling and her team in Lund, Sweden, the atlas presents typological and lexical data of more than 200 ancient and modern languages, many encoded for the very first time. Alongside classic maps, the atlas features new visualizations, such as polygons and network diagrams, which smartly illustrate complex linguistic patterns of borrowability, co-lexification and semantic evolution and thereby provide entirely new perspectives.

In collaboration with Acherdan Abregov, Elnur Aliyev, Leila Avidzba, Chundra Cathcart, Merab Chukhua, Sandra Cronhamn, Robert Farren, Johan Frid, Anne Goergens, Josine Greidanus, Teimuraz Gvantseladze, Harald Hammarström, Arthur Holmer, Niklas Johansson, Madzhid Khalilov, Edin Kuckovic, Filip Larsson, Tamar Lomadze, Mikael Novén, Ante Petrović, Erich Round, Revaz Tchantouria, Maka Tetradze, Larisa Tuptsokova, Karina Vamling, Briana Van Epps, Rob Verhoeven, Ola Wikander, Astrid Zimmermann.
