Paul Gauguin and Victor Segalen, craftsmen of a symbolic recomposition, chose wholeheartedly to reveal Tahiti through their respective works: Noa-Noa (Gauguin) and Les Immémoriaux (Segalen). This article seeks to determine the singular place that the two works occupy within Polynesian cultural heritage by studying the common traits that unite the two artists. It seems rather clear that the Polynesian oral language as a cultural revelation and the historical "void" of the archipelago provoke the reflection of these authors.

LEGAL STATUS OF CULTURAL PROPERTY AND WORKS OF ART IN THE PRL Summary The article deals with the legal status of works of art and cultural property in the Polish legislation during communism period. Classifying those objects as private property was considered as a very difficult task, because of their material value and the public interest in saving them for future generations. The strict limitations of individuals property were perceived as unusual and as a result a new sort of property – the private cultural property was distinguished. Moreover, the concepts of the common heritage and res extra commercium could be observed in the light of the PRL ideas. It should be emphasized that the above mentioned theories for improving cultural heritage regulations are the most popular in the nowadays’ international discussion.

Internationalisms – especially those of the Latin provenance – prove the common cultural heritage of European countries. The aim of the article is to describe the nature and the origin of internationalisms by the examples taken from German and Polish legal language. The essay characterizes both international lexemes, syntagmas, phraseologisms and sentences, which have been grammatically adapted to the target language as well as Latinisms which were taken over in their original form.

Purpose Many students' writing skills are below grade-level expectations, and students with oral language difficulties are at particular risk for writing difficulties. Speech-language pathologists' (SLPs') expertise in language applies to both the oral and written modalities, yet evidence suggests that SLPs' confidence regarding writing assessment is low. Writing samples are a clinically useful, criterion-referenced assessment technique that is relevant to helping students satisfy writing-related requirements of the Common Core State Standards (National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and Council of Chief State School Officers, 2010a). This article provides recommendations for obtaining and analyzing students' writing samples. Method In this tutorial, the authors provide a comprehensive literature review of methods regarding (a) collection of writing samples from narrative, expository (informational/explanatory), and persuasive (argument) genres; (b) variables of writing performance that are useful to assess; and (c) manual and computer-aided techniques for analyzing writing samples. The authors relate their findings to expectations for writing skills expressed in the Common Core State Standards (National Governors Association Center for Best Practices & Council of Chief State School Officers, 2010a). Conclusion SLPs can readily implement many techniques for obtaining and analyzing writing samples. The information in this article provides SLPs with recommendations for the use of writing samples and may help increase SLPs' confidence regarding written language assessment.

Abstract Although today's educational environments are to a great extend multilingual, large-scale foreign language examinations test heterogeneous groups with homogeneous examination practices, without taking all ecolinguistic parameters into consideration. Trying to minimize this limitation by calibrating examinations to the sociolinguistic and intercultural competence definitions of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), secures to an extend construct validity. However, the question still arises, if “one test fits all”. This paper focuses on oral foreign language assessment discourses, where discursive coconstruction and social nature of performance prevail. Adopting the ecolinguistic approach (Fill, 1996) the paper investigates the notion of symbolic competence (Kramsch & Whiteside, 2008) in the context of oral language examinations. By analyzing oral data the paper seeks to address, how ecolinguistic parameters concur in examination discourses and to what extend this effects the validity of measurement.

Summary Andrés Bello (1781–1865) is the most important Spanish grammarian of the 19th century. In his work, he attempts to apply a scientific objectivity, free from any dogmatism, to the study of language and social reality with a view to improving man and his community: Social progress, and not simply individual progress, is one of the driving ideas of his work. In linguistics, the source of his inspiration was general grammar, both synchronic and pedagogical. His work reaches its crowning in his Grammar of the Castillian Language for the use of Spanish-Americans of 1847. In his conception, it is the goal of norms and of the respect of usage that they determine to continually remind the community of speakers of a particular behaviour in order to avoid the bad consequences of a cultural and linguistic disruption. It is in the light of earlier considerations that Andrés Bello brings to bear all his concern for the preservation of the Spanish cultural heritage, in particular the common language as an instrument of communication and integration, and as the repository capitalizing on the cultural language. In this way, he appears to us, apart from his eminent position of renewer of the study of Spanish grammar, as the initiator of the immense task which consists of the development of a socio-cultural and linguistic variant within the Spanish unity. He thus contributed, in a decisive manner, to the formation of an Spanish-American man who is conscious of his tradition and his historical place in the world.

Abstract Natural and cultural heritage, the common wealth of human beings, are keys to human understanding of the evolution of our planet and social development. The protection and conservation of natural and cultural heritage is the common responsibility of all mankind. Spatial information technology provides a new applied theory and tool for the protection and utilization of natural and cultural heritage. This chapter is divided into four parts. The first part elaborates the connotation of digital heritage, the differences and connections between digital heritage and physical heritage, the technology of digital heritage formation and the research objectives and content of digital heritage. Parts 2 and 3 discuss the contents and methods of digital natural heritage and cultural heritage, respectively, and some practical case studies. In the fourth part, the future development trends of digital heritage research in protection and utilization are described, as well as six research directions that deserve attention.

The organization and work of The Danish National Church form the core of the Danish model of religion. One might, therefore, think that this would also include the church buildings used by the church. I argue that the church buildings used by The National Church and especially the pre-Reformation buildings are placed in the borderland of the Danish model of religion, since they belong to the common cultural heritage although they are administered by the church. I analyze the historically conditioned ownership followed by an outline of the interpretations of the buildings endorsed by respectively the official church and its members. The special situation pertinent to the church buildings of Copenhagen is described before the final analysis of the principles underlying the decision by the Minister of Cultural Affairs on the bishop’s suggestion to close down 14 churches in Copenhagen in 2013. I conclude that church buildings in Denmark hold a status similar to holy cows in India.Folkekirkens organisation og virksomhed udgør den danske religionsmodels kerneområde. Herudfra slutter man let, at det også må gælde de kirkebygninger, som folkekirken gør brug af. Det er denne artikels tese, at folkekirkens kirkebygninger, og særligt den dominerende del af dem, som er bygget før reformationen, hører hjemme i den danske religionsmodels grænseflade. Dette fordi de tilhører den fælles kulturarv, selv om de er undergivet folkekirkelig administration. Artiklen beskriver først bygningernes historisk betingede ejendomsretlige status, dernæst den folkelige og kirkelige tolkning af bygningerne, og endelig redegøres der for de særlige forhold omkring kirkerne i København. Til sidst analyseres de principielle retningslinjer om kirkebygninger, der kommer til orde gennem Kulturministerens afgørelse af 14 kirkelukningssager i Københavns Stift i 2013. Konklusionen lyder, at kirkebygningernes status i Danmark er sammenlignelig med de hellige køers status i Indien

Abstract:How do archaeologists, governments, law enforcement, and a local non-governmental organization react to a hole in the ground—a hole that is the direct result of archaeological site looting? Whatever the response, the aim is the same: the protection of Jordanian cultural heritage through a curtailing of archaeological looting. New to the standard suite of responses are unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs). A comprehensive approach to the landscape, which includes UAV flyovers, ground truthing, oral interviews, collaborative efforts with the Jordanian Department of Antiquities and local cultural heritage organizations, is essential to safeguarding and documenting what remains of a series of Early Bronze Age sites (3600–2000 bc) along the Dead Sea Plain in Jordan. This is an examination of the (w)hole picture—individual and institutional responses to looters’ holes—diverse reactions with the common goal of preserving and protecting Jordanian cultural heritage.
