Urkunden als Quelle (schreib-)sprachlandschaftlicher Variation
Wir nutzen das ‘Corpus der altdeutschen Originalurkunden’ (CAO), um hochauflösende Informationen über (schreib-)sprachlandschaftliche Variation im Mittelhochdeutschen zu gewinnen. Als synchrone Momentaufnahme können unsere Befunde in Beziehung zu grammatischen Beschreibungen und anderen Datenserien gesetzt werden und erlauben so, die Diffusion von sprachlichen Neuerungen genauer nachzuvollziehen.

Sumatran
The island of Sumatra and the Barrier Islands lying off its west coast are home to a diverse array of Austronesian languages. For at least a century and a half, a close genetic relationship between many of the non-Malayo-Chamic languages of the region—namely the Batak languages, Simeulue, Nias, Mentawai, and Enggano—has been proposed. Evidence in support of such a group was first thoroughly detailed by Nothofer, who outlined sound correspondences and phonological innovations for a Barrier Island–Batak subgroup. Building upon Nothofer's proposal and recent observations about the languages of Sumatra, this paper proposes a far-reaching language group we call Sumatran, comprising Nothofer's Barrier Island–Batak group as well as Gayo, spoken in northern Sumatra, and Nasal, spoken in southwestern Sumatra. We also provide stronger evidence for the inclusion of Enggano, spoken on the southernmost Barrier Island, which Nothofer only tentatively included. To support this proposal, we outline shared innovations that establish the foundation of what constitutes the Sumatran language subgroup.

A learner’s grammar for Estonian: Insights from typological research
This paper discusses the need for a modern Estonian reference grammar for learners and lays the basic groundwork for creating one. The current abundance of materials for teaching Estonian as a foreign language and recent advancements in both areal-typological linguistics and in the study of acquisition of Estonian contribute to conceptualizing a new type of grammar, and further improving the teaching and learning of Estonian. Modern language instruction orients to proficiency as the ability to use language in real life. We contend that this goal, combined with the availability of language technology and increased mobility of people increases the demands on effective teaching of language structure. Research has shown that the main difficulties for learners of Estonian concern morphology and morphosyntax. We suggest that including an areal-typological perspective on categories and concepts in describing and explaining the structure of Estonian may help learners in these areas.Kokkuvõte. Anne Tamm, Piibi-Kai Kivik: Grammatika eesti keele õppijale: võõrkeeleõpe ja tüpoloogia. Artikkel osutab ühisosale areaal-tüpoloogilise keeleteaduse ja teise keele omandamise uurimise vahel. Eesti keele morfosüntaks ja süntaks, sh evidentsiaalsuse, aspekti ja eituse väljendamine pakub huvi mõlema ala uurijatele. Keeleõppija jaoks pole siin tegu mitte ainult uue vormi, vaid ka uue grammatilise kategooria või moodustussüsteemiga (nt eitus), kus erinevuste teadvustamine, sh metalingvistiline teadlikkus võib aidata vältida vigu ja kiirendada keeleomandamise protsessi. Artikkel väidab, et kaasaegne kommunikatiivne, suhtluspädevusele suunatud keeleõpe ei väldi grammatika õpetamist, vaid teeb seda läbimõeldult ja kontekstis. Et keeletundides kasutataks võimalikult palju aega suhtlemise harjutamiseks, on vaja käepäraseid ja ammendavaid materjale iseseisvaks tööks, sh grammatikaseletusi ja pedagoogilist grammatikat. Pedagoogiline grammatika, mis põhineb lingvistilisel uurimistööl, pakub uusi võimalusi nii õpetajale kui õppijale sihtja lähtekeele kõrvutamiseks ning veaohtlike või keerulisemate keelenähtuste paremaks omandamiseks.Märksõnad: areaal-tüpoloogiline keeleteadus; eesti keel võõrkeelena; morfosüntaks; kategooriad; õppijagrammatika

Eurolinguistics – what it is and what it should not be
The present study is composed of two parts. In Part 1, the definition, as well as the actual and the desired profile of Eurolinguistic studies are discussed, and a strict differentiation between cultural and linguistic aspects is postulated. In Part 2 some suggestions of this author are made, concerning the future methodology and topics of Eurolinguistic research.

Spatial disparities and dynamic evolution of professional public health resource supply level in Beijing, China
Background
This study aims to explore the development status of the supply level of professional public health resources in Beijing Municipality, analyze the areal differences and spatial distribution characteristics of the supply level in 16 districts, and provide a scientific basis for promoting the balanced development of the supply level of professional public health resources in each district of Beijing Municipality.
Methods
Based on panel data from Statistical Yearbook of Health Work in Beijing Municipality and Health and Family Planning Work in Beijing Municipality from 2014 to 2022. Using the entropy method to measure the supply level of professional public health resources in Beijing, employing the Dagum Gini coefficient and Kernel density estimation method to analyze the spatial differentiation characteristics and dynamic evolution process of the supply level, and using heat maps to display the spatial distribution of the supply level in various districts of Beijing.
Results
The Dagum Gini coefficient of the supply level of professional public health resources in Beijing Municipality decreased continuously from 0.3419 in 2014 to 0.29736 in 2020, then gradually increased, showing a trend of initially decreasing and then increasing overall spatial differences. The spatial differences mainly stem from differences between areas. The kernel density curve shows that the supply level of professional public health resources in Beijing Municipality gradually increased, slightly decreased after 2021, and did not form a situation of two or multi-level differentiation.
Conclusion
From 2014 to 2022, the supply level of professional public health resources in Beijing Municipality showed an overall upward trend, but attention should be paid to the decline after 2021; spatial differences initially decreased and then increased, and the differences between areas is the main source of the overall difference in Beijing. Therefore, the Beijing Municipal Government should focus on narrowing the differences between areas, determine the allocation and management of public health resources based on the actual situation of core areas, promote coordinated development within and outside areas, and thus enhance the supply level of professional public health resources.

Geolingüística digital y bases de datos: una aproximación al estudio de la variación y del cambio léxico en español
The digitalization of traditional linguistic atlases, published within the field of linguistic geography, produces important benefits as co che knowledge of the language and culture of a specific territory. The transferring of rhe geolectal information included in atlases to spatial databases complements the maps and allows the analysis of the information they contain from different perspectives. In order to show that multidimensionality of linguistic atlases in digital format, the study of the concept crusty corner' in European Spanish is presented in this article. The results obtained exemplify a model of use and exploitation of geolinguistic data in contrast to data from social networks that can only be developed through digitized materials in spatial relational databases.

A Geolinguistic Comparison of Some Finnic Lexical Issues
The study is based on material collected for the Atlas Linguarum Fennicarum (ALFE), which is a joint project prepared by Finnish, Estonian and Karelian linguists. Several lexical issues, the areas of which tend to cross language borders, are discussed. The analysis reveals certain mutual relationships of languages and dialects. On the one hand, we can see the historical ties of South-Estonian dialects with the Eastern or Northern Finnic languages, as well as the contacts of Southeast-Finnish dialects with North-Estonian dialects. On the other hand, the contrasts between the Eastern and Western Finnic languages, as well as between the Northern and Southern Finnic languages are visualised.
