We're sorry for the confusion. We're currently working on it. In the meantime, feel free to browse the restricted section."

Someone else mentioned they had difficulty downloading it on Facebook. I tried to download it myself to check and it worked fine. Maybe it's easier when you're logged on to Academia.org?

Congrats for finishing your thesis!

Vijay's error seems like a fart the server had when he tried to access the webpage of your thesis at all. It doesn't seem like it had to do with a download.

Vijay, maybe you can try following the link again later?

Thanks, it works now!

Es tut mir Leid, dass ich das nicht verstehen kann, aber ich kann den Titel verstehen.

Ich weiß es; ich meine den Rest der Diplomarbeit. Heh.

Es gibt eine Übersetzung der Zusammenfassung auf englisch und auf deutsch aber, ja, leider ist es schwierig wenn nicht französisch kann.

Congratulations!

You're evidently much older now than you were ten or fifteen years ago.


I'm curious: what's a "Master 2"?

Thanks!

Indeed, I am now 29 and first joined the ZBB at the ripe old age of 14.

Master 2 is the second level of master in France under the latest overhaul of the higher education system. It is 5 year-levels after the baccalauréat, and one year-level above what I previously obtained in 2011, a Master of Arts in French and German. My next step, this year, is the doctorate.

I can't read french .

To quote Trubetzkoy on Russian, “You ought to could!”

Agreed. I'm not fluent either. I tend to interpret meanings from context. Before MacAnDàil translated the title as "The lexis of Réunion Creole of Malagasy origin," I'd pegged it to be "The lexicon of Réunion Creole of Malagasy origin" cause of the many lexicon-related threads in the Conclangery section.

Well, that's getting into the details of the translation (I didn't think of an English translation until I posted earlier in this thread), because, on the one hand, lexique can be translated as lexicon, as well as other words, such as dictionary. Also, in English, lexis and lexicon can be at least sometimes considered synonyms. Or we can just more simply say vocabulary.

I should probably read it.

Yes, please

I am available to answer any questions anyone might have.

Congratulations!

That's very interesting.

I had no idea that z'oreille was a Malagasy calque... I thought it was sort of universal in French-based creoles.

A few questions: what does tanbav mean?
Do you have a good description of Créole tenses, like 'infinitif long, participe passé long and imparfait synthétique?
