This special issue of Language and Linguistics in Melanesia deals with the legacy of the German language in these former German colonies.

The workshop took place as part of an international research project on documenting Unserdeutsch Rabaul Creole German , worldwide the only German-based creole language, which emerged around among mixed-race children at a Catholic mission in Vunapope near Rabaul, Papua New Guinea. Another aim of the workshop was to bring together scholars working on the fairly new field of German colonial linguistics with experts of other colonial languages and settings from whom they can learn much — and vice versa.

Thus, even though the number of contributors is relatively small, this collection of papers reflects current research activities and most major foci within the hitherto neglected and highly under- researched field of language contact in the former German colonies. Colonial amnesia is unfortunately all too common a phenomenon in Germany. The fact that research into linguistic aspects of German colonialism and especially into colonial varieties of German is still fairly underrepresented in both Germanic linguistics as well as in pidgin and creole studies, has at least two main reasons.

First, crucial colonial activities of the German Empire began late and spanned little more than three decades between and World War I. Compared with the Portuguese, British or Dutch colonial empires, the size of German colonies was relatively small see Map 1 , and the number of German-based pidgin and especially creole languages correspondingly modest. As far as is known, nowadays only two of them are still in use, both of them critically endangered: Namibian Black German Kiche Duits , a German- based pidgin oid spoken in Namibia cf.

Deumert and this issue and Unserdeutsch Rabaul Creole German , a German-lexified creole that emerged in German New Guinea, nowadays spoken by about elderly speakers living mostly in the metropolitan areas of eastern Australia cf.

Map 1. Gal and the monolingual bias in language historiography cf. Deumert and Mattheier The history of Pauline research has uncovered, as well as created, several dualisms, false dichotomies and cul-de-sacs that have played and still play a role in various interpretations of Paul.

Susan Eastman's Paul and the Person Susan Eastman's Paul and the Person sets out to reframe Paul's anthropology by opening a discursive window between Pauline scholarship and recent work in developmental psychology and neuroscience. In this article I discuss how Eastman manages to achieve this goal — by looking at her monograph from the perspective of five interpretative dichotomies: individual vs communal, Stoic vs Platonic and material vs immaterial, cognition vs emotion, relational vs ontological transformation, and human vs divine agency.

From the introduction by the editors: Volker Rabens considers how Paul approached his mission, to make Christ known, in the urban settings of the first-century Roman Empire, analyzing how Paul chose the cities he visited and how he From the introduction by the editors: Volker Rabens considers how Paul approached his mission, to make Christ known, in the urban settings of the first-century Roman Empire, analyzing how Paul chose the cities he visited and how he acted once he arrived in a city.

Rabens argues that Paul was no mere pragmatist, but that his highly flexible practice and missiological principles were closely interlocked. The potential relevance of biblical ethics for today is a contested issue. What is the significance of individual ethical texts of the Bible, and how — if at all — can they be dialogue partners for the ethical discourses of the 21st What is the significance of individual ethical texts of the Bible, and how — if at all — can they be dialogue partners for the ethical discourses of the 21st century?

This article suggests and discusses a number of interpretative steps on the way towards a fruitful dialogue between the biblical text and contemporary concerns of religious-ethical life. After some introductory remarks on the use of the Bible in a Christian context, the article submits six different parameters of practical hermeneutics in two sections 1. Text and culture, and 2. Text and canon. From the perspective of the parameter of canonical centrality, for example, it is argued that the biblical narrative of love as it culminates in the gospel of Jesus Christ stands out as a primus inter pares reference point for the dialogue between biblical ethics and ethics today.

In the course of a nuanced discussion of these hermeneutical parameters the article also provides a critical review of a number of alternative proposals on the relationship of the Bible and ethics. Heilig et al. As the ethical quality of faithfulness is such a central theme in PFG, I raise the question whether Wright also attributes a central role to divine faithfulness in shaping As the ethical quality of faithfulness is such a central theme in PFG, I raise the question whether Wright also attributes a central role to divine faithfulness in shaping and enabling human faithfulness i.

And with regard to the plight, his emphasis is on human enslavement to the external powers of Sin, Flesh, etc. Wallace eds. Lim ed. Elliott et al. For each comparison, we calculated a weighted sum over the class frequencies of the segmentation errors occurred.

We chose the path with the best score. The evaluation tool Segeval implements the approach described in the pre- vious section. Figure 3 gives an exemplary output for the region-based evaluation approach.

G S Regions 1 : 1 [Correct]: Exemplary output of the segmentation evaluation tool 6. So each ground truth segment is attributed by its character class. Consider, for example, the class merge. By using the region-based approach, it was possible to detect which sequences of characters were the favourites for a merge.

The ideal case would be a graph that contains only one path being the correct one. First, we pointed out that text-based evaluation of segmentational tasks has several disadvantages, e. Secondly, we proposed a general approach to the evaluation of segmentation or extraction algorithms.

In this approach, we introduced elementary classes of segmentation errors that are obvious. Furthermore we developed a segmentation evaluation approach which provides disjoint classes of errors. We demonstrated the applicability of our approach by means of a practical example for the character segmentation task. Besides the application to character segmentation as presented here, we also have applied our evaluation approach to the zoning task.

Finally, we want to suggest the use in other segmentation tasks, within and without the document analysis domain. References 1. Wahl, K. Wong, R. Casey, E. Kanai, S. Rice, T. Nartker, G. Rice, F.

Even though Ze does a live presser they can still summarize in a brief statement. Giuliani about the Ukranian statement:. Had a good chat with Yermak last night. He was pleased with your phone call. Mentioned Z making a statement. Can we all get on the phone to make sure I advise Z correctly as to what he should be saying?

Want to make sure we get this done right. Please let me know when you can talk. Which we discussed yesterday. But it will be logic to do after we receive a confirmation of date.

We inform about date of visit and about our expectations and our guarantees for future visit. Let discuss it. I want to declare that this is unacceptable.

We intend to initiate and complete a transparent and unbiased investigation of all available facts and episodes, including those involving Burisma and the U. Confirming Desire to Reference Election and Burisma: On August 17, , Ambassadors Volker and Sondland had the following exchange in which they discussed their message to Ukraine:. Pompeo is speaking to Potus today to see if he can go.

The Russians love it.
