Spomin mi rad zaide za več, kot pol stoletja nazaj, ko sem, kot srednješolka preživljala brezskrbna poletja v Zadru, kjer je živel brat Vladimir. Vse dni sem v družbi svojih vrstnikov preživela na ...plaži. Nihče me ni opozarjal, da se moram skrivati pred soncem ali pa celo mazati z zaščitnimi kremami.Sončnih opeklin se ne spominjam, razen enkrat, ko sem se doma na celjskem bazenu sončila ves dan misleč, da bom šla drugi dan porjavela na šolske počitnice v Makarsko. Vso noč sem na vlaku stala, da se me ne bi kdo dotaknil, ker me je koža neznansko pekla. Dobila sem mehurje po nadlahti in sokrvica mi je curljala po rokah. Toliko o ozaveščenosti glede sončenja v moji mladosti.V Zadru se opeklin ne spominjam, čeprav se tudi mazanja s kremami ne spominjam. Je pa res, da sem bila več v vodi, kot zunaj.Pozneje, ko sem si ustvarila družino, sem postala malo bolj ozaveščena. Ponavadi smo se namazali z neko navadno kremo, ko smo prišli na plažo. Pozneje, ko smo kampirali, nama otroka še namazati ni uspelo, ker sta jo že prej ucvrla na obalo. Vse je bilo bolj svobodno, nič gledanja na uro in določanja, kdaj se je treba umakniti v senco. Na soncu sem lahko mirno brala in potem ob knjigi sladko zaspala. Sončnih opeklin se sploh ne spomnim.In današnje dni: že galebi nad morjem se derejo, da se je treba izogibati soncu čez opoldan vse tja do 16. ure. In res, mimogrede dobiš sončno opeklino, sploh pa, če nisi namazan s kremo z visokim faktorjem. Če nimaš nič na glavi dobiš lahko sončarico, dehidracija ti grozi tudi če piješ, brez sončnih očal z UV zaščito je bolje, da se ne prikažeš ven.In moje spoznanje je, da tudi sonce ni več tisto, kar je bilo nekoč!Prispevala: Mirjana Steblovnik

This paper focuses on the geography and dynamics of indefinite pronoun variants in West-Flanders (Belgium). Whereas traditional dialect data show etwat (‘something’) as being the traditional ...West-Flemish dialect variant, recent studies have attested a new variant in the area: etwuk. This paper addresses the questions (1) where this new dialect variant is used, (2) by whom, (3) how it relates to other variants of the indefinite pronoun and to the interrogative pronoun variants and (4) whether the grammatical context in which it occurs is of any influence. To answer these questions, we analyse 10.000 surveys collected in 2018 in 249 West-Flemish locations. Given that a sample of this size is difficult to analyse using traditional dialectological methods, we introduce generalized additive mixed-effects regression as a means of simultaneously analyzing the diatopic, diastratic and diachronic variation in these surveys (cf. Wieling et al. 2014:689). These generalized additive mixed-effects models reveal striking dynamics in the pronominal system in West-Flanders: the variant etwuk is clearly taking over the role of etwat as dialectal indefinite pronoun, with the region of the cities Ieper and Poperinge as ‘expansion tank’. The rise of the non-standard pronoun etwuk is remarkable, given that Flanders is generally marked by dialect shift and dialect levelling (usually in favour of the standard language). We will argue that the pronominal changes in West-Flanders can be interpreted as a sign of linguistic glocalisation,with etwuk as means of indexing regional identity in times of homogenizing informal language use.
This article outlines the main features of the European Values Study (EVS), with special focus on the innovations implemented in the fifth wave (2017). As a large-scale, cross-national and ...longitudinal social survey program, the EVS provides insights into the ideas, beliefs, preferences, attitudes, values, and opinions of citizens all over Europe, unique in its combined focus on how Europeans think about life, family, work, religion, politics, and society. The first round of data collection was initiated in 1981, and every nine years, a representative sample of residents have been questioned in an increasing number of countries (47 European countries/regions in 2008). The fifth wave started in 2017 and is at this moment under completion. The methodological standards of EVS increased over the waves. As part of the Horizon 2020 project Synergies for Europe’s Research Infrastructures in the Social Sciences (SERISS), EVS took part in innovations in the field of translation and the implementation of websurveys. The data of the European Values Study are publicly available free of charge. A rich academic literature has accumulated around the original and consecutive surveys: more than 1600 publications are listed in the EVS Bibliography (see europeanvaluesstudy.eu). The final sections of this article describe more in detail the implementation of the EVS 2017 in the Netherlands and end with a peek in the future.
Opiniepeilingen zijn alomtegenwoordig. Continu wordt gemeten op hoeveel zetels de politieke partijen staan. Bijna dagelijks wordt gepeild wat de burgers vinden over talloze kwesties, variërend van de ...veiligheid in de wijk tot de nieuwste plannen van ‘Den Haag’. Belangrijke informatie, want in de ogen van velen vertellen opiniepeilingen ons tot op de procent nauwkeurig wat ‘de wil van het volk’ is.
