Scandinavian languages

In Germanic and Scandinavian languages, different parts of complex words are abbreviated as if distinct. For example, Kunstseide might be abbreviated Kt.-sd., but never Kunst. [Pg.105]

One familiar with the Scandinavian languages, Italian, Spanish, etc., could easily extend this discussion to cover contingencies of transliteration into these languages. Similar reasoning is applicable to other Cyrillic letters. However, these two examples suffice to illustrate the impossibility of an interlingual agreement on a transliteration scheme. [Pg.545]

Retirement at 60 from his happy years at Herstmonceux was compulsory, so he moved in 1990 to a Chair at the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics in Copenhagen. He became respected throughout Scandinavian astronomy, aided by his extraordinary facility for languages. A major programme was completed on the... [Pg.473]

Accordingly, the failure of the Stock system is that it uses the national names of the elements and, in spoken language, the national numerals. In written language, the numerals will be designated by Roman figures, but even then the Stock nomenclature is much more national than the one hitherto used. The joint Scandinavian (Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish) nomenclature committee wrote on this matter to the International Union of Chemistry ... [Pg.42]

The difficulty of a consistent application of the Li6ge rules is connected with the termination -e, which in German indicates the plural. Therefore, it is not possible to use the endings -an and -ane, -in and -ine, -ol and -ole as designations of different functions. Oxazole in German is simply the plural form of OxazoL Similar difficulties, however, are encountered in Scandinavian and other languages, where it has been found advantageous to introduce the system as far as possible. [Pg.44]

Conformity in spelling results in the same alphabetical order of chemical terms, irrespective of the language. A chemist frequently uses compilations of chemical data and subject indexes of journals and books of reference in languages other than his own. It is inconvenient to search for quinoline under q in an English journal, but under ch (Chinolin) in a German and under k (kinolin) in a Scandinavian journal. Even such small differences as thorium and torium, rhodium and rodium, rhamnose and ramnose are inconvenient and may cause important references to be missed. [Pg.45]

In the first decades of the twentieth century, many of the innovations first found in Jacobsen and Hamsun reappear and are expanded by others. Authors such as Karen Blixen, Tom Kristensen, and Eyvind Johnson, to name but a very few, continue exploring the ambiguity of language and experience in its opposition to realist conventions. The expressionist revolution in Fenno-Swedish poetry at this time would likewise need to be considered in a more detailed discussion of Scandinavian modernism. As... [Pg.200]

Environmental accountability takes on particular significance in Scandinavian countries, whose history indicates they practiced this method of total involvement with sustaining their environment long before there were definitions in any language for it. Their reporting parameters support this fact, as the following extracts from the Cultor corporation s annual report indicate. ... [Pg.284]
