The Typology of the Anthropomorphic Figurines From Northeastern Bulgaria

by Ivan Vajsov

The article presents the principles for classification of Neolithic anthropomorphic sculpture in Bulgaria (SE Europe). As historiography, here are the views of Bulgarian authors on this issue. For the examples used unpublished anthropomorphic figurines Northeastern Bulgaria (from Samovodene, Kachitsa, Hotnitsa-Orlovka, etc.) and there are many citations to previous publications (Usoe, Hamangia culture, etc.). Here is presented a hierarchical structure in which typological tures to handle complex of prehistoric anthropomorphic figurines. Presented a hierarchical structure serves as the basis for the study of prehistoric anthropomorphic sculpture in Bulgaria, and numerical codes presented here are based on statistical processing.

At the beginning of the article briefly outlines and chronological framework of the earliest (monochrome) in the Balkans Neolithic (6500-6000 cal. BC).

Unlike previous research, this paper focuses the importance of strategy implementation to the performance implications of Miles and Snow typology. Data was collected from 111 key informants from firms in Thailand’s chemical industry using probability sampling. The one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) results showed that prospectors performed better than the other three strategic types, whereas reactors exhibited the lowest performance scores. While the success in strategy implementation is found to be a significant predictor of firm performance, the two-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) results revealed that the success in strategy implementation did not alter the relationship between Miles and Snow strategic type and a firm’s performance. This finding suggests that the relationship between Miles and Snow strategic type and a firm’s performance may be universal, regardless of the location where the study is conducted. However, additional studies in other contexts are required before the conclusion can be made whether the strategic type – performance relationship will be contingent on strategy implementation.

Keywords: Generic strategies, typologies, Miles and Snow, firm performance, strategy implementation.

A sample of 81 turbans from different sites of the Formative Period of Northern Chile are analized. The results are organized in a typological classification, and the scopes of this study are discussed as valuable information about their former wearers.

This enables us to see the degree of variation permitted within closely related languages. We look at four Alor-Pantar languages (Teiwa, Adang, Kamang, and Abui), Papuan languages of eastern Indonesia. The conditions on argument marking are manifested in different ways. Those languages with syntactic alignment index objects with a prefix, those which have semantic alignment index objects and some subjects with a prefix. In 42 video clips we systematically varied animacy and volitionality values for participants in one and two-participant events. These clips were used in fieldwork to elicit descriptions of the events. The data show that animacy of the object is an important factor which favours indexation of the object on the verb in all four languages to varying degrees. Volitionality, on the other hand, is a factor in the semantically aligned languages only. While the presence of a prefix on the verb is semantically motivated in many instances, marking is not directly determined by verbal or participant semantics, and lexical factors must also play a role.

(Dahl, 1979) All languages have a way of how to express negation. (Horn & Kato, 2000) On the other hand, the markedness of negation is shown through its relationship to its counterpart affirmative statement. (Horn, 1989)

This study attempts to investigate the phenomenon of negation in Philippine languages. The term ‘Philippine languages’ is often taken to have three different meanings: geographic, typological, and genetic. (Blust, 1991) The definition of Philippine languages as a genetic subgrouping is the one used in this study.

Fifteen languages are investigated and these languages are Ivatan, Ilokano, Itawis, Tuwali Ifugao, Bontok, Pangasinan, Kapampangan, Tagalog, Bikol - Naga, Bikol - Oas, Cebuano - Leyte, Hiligaynon, Masbatenyo, Waray and Surigaonon.

As a category, negation can be expressed in various ways. To illustrate the diversity in the expression of negation, a typological approach was used to explore parameters associated to negation. The domains of negation included in this study are verbal (standard and prohibitive), non-verbal (nominal, adjectival, and existential) and cleft constructions. Negation strategies are compared and categorized. Through categorization of negation typologies, the relative homogeneity among the expression of negation in Philippine languages is illustrated.
