2 French provinces and regions

Both traditional pre-Revolution regions and modern administrative regions usually take the definite article as in l’Alsace, la Champagne etc.:

I like Alsace

= j’aime l’Alsace

Champagne is beautiful

= la Champagne est belle

For names which have a compound form, such as Midi-Pyrénées or Rhône-Alpes, it is safer to include the words la région:

do you know Midi-Pyrénées?

= connaissez-vous la région Midi-Pyrénées?

In, to and from somewhere

There are certain general principles regarding names of French provinces and regions. However, usage is sometimes uncertain ; doubtful items should be checked in the dictionary.

For in and to, with feminine names and with masculine ones beginning with a vowel, use en without the definite article:

to live in Burgundy

= vivre en Bourgogne

to go to Burgundy

= aller en Bourgogne

to live in Anjou

= vivre en Anjou

to go to Anjou

= aller en Anjou

For in and to with masculine names beginning with a consonant, use dans le:

to live in the Berry

= vivre dans le Berry

to go to the Berry

= aller dans le Berry

For from with feminine names and with masculine ones beginning with a vowel, use de without the definite article:

to come from Burgundy

= venir de Bourgogne

to come from Anjou

= venir d’Anjou

For from with masculine names beginning with a consonant, use du:

to come from the Berry

= venir du Berry

Regional adjectives

Related adjectives and nouns exist for most of the names of provinces and regions. Here is a list of the commonest:

These adjectives mean of X, as in the following ( where alsacien stands for any of them):

an Alsace accent

= un accent alsacien

Alsace costume

= le costume alsacien

the Alsace countryside

= les paysages alsaciens

Alsace traditions

= les traditions alsaciennes

Alsace villages

= les villages alsaciens

These words can also be used as nouns, meaning a person from X ; in this case they are written with a capital letter:

a person from Alsace

= un Alsacien

an Alsace woman

= une Alsacienne

the people of Alsace

= les Alsaciens mpl

3 Administrative regions

Portugal's current administrative structure consists of 18 districts and two autonomous regions (the Azores and Madeira Islands). These are Aveiro, Azores, Beja, Braga, Braganca, Castelo Branco, Coimbra, Évora, Faro, Guarda, Leiria, Lisbon (the capital), Madeira, Portalegre, Oporto, Santarem, Setubal, Viana do Castelo, Vila Real, and Viseu. Portugal's district system since the 1970s has been in a state of transition. Portugal's historic provinces continue to be included on many maps and charts, historical and current literature, and in current conversation, although they are no longer part of Portugal's official administrative structure. Since Portugal joined the European Community (EEC) in 1986, there have been political efforts to replace the district system with regions, but this effort was at least temporarily stymied in 1998, in a national referendum in which voters rejected the move toward regionalization. Some changes have been made in the administration and grouping of municipalities, but so far the district system remains dominant.

4 British regions and counties

The names of British regions and counties usually have the definite article in French, except when used with the preposition en.

In, to and from somewhere

Most counties and regions are masculine ; with these, in and to are translated by dans le, and from by du:

to live in Sussex

= vivre dans le Sussex

to go to Sussex

= aller dans le Sussex

to come from Sussex

= venir du Sussex

Note however:

Cornwall

= la Cornouailles

to live in Cornwall

= vivre en Cornouailles

to go to Cornwall

= aller en Cornouailles

to come from Cornwall

= venir de la Cornouailles

Uses with nouns

There are rarely French equivalents for English forms like Cornishmen, and it is always safe to use de with the definite article:

Cornishmen

= les habitants mpl de la Cornouailles

Lancastrians

= les habitants du Lancashire

In other cases, du is often possible:

a Somerset accent

= un accent du Somerset

the Yorkshire countryside

= les paysages du Yorkshire

but it is usually safe to use du comté de:

the towns of Fife

= les villes du comté de Fife

the rivers of Merioneth

= les rivières du comté de Merioneth

or de la région de:

Grampian cattle

= le bétail de la région des Grampians

9 Industry

Portuguese industry includes electricity, gas, water, mining, and manufacturing sectors. Manufacturing, the largest of these sectors, is concentrated in two major industrial regions: Lisbon-Setúbal in the south and Oporto-Aveiro-Braga in the north. Together, these two regions contain the factories that account for 75 percent of Portugal's industrial output. The Lisbon-Setúbal region includes major heavy industries, such as steel making, shipbuilding and repair, oil refining, chemicals, cement, automobile assembly, wood pulp, cork, and fish processing. About 140 kilometers (84 miles) to the south at Sines is a major deepwater port and associated steel-making and oil-refining complex at Sines. Light industry is located primarily in the Oporto-Aveiro-Braga industrial triangle. Here are located factories that manufacture textiles, footwear, furniture, cutlery, and electronics. Portugal's largest petroleum refinery is located in Oporto.

Industrial organization in Portugal reflects three ownership patterns: privately owned domestic factories are concentrated in light industrials; publicly owned factories dominate heavy industry, such as petrochemicals, shipbuilding, steel making, petroleum refining, and electricity; subsidiaries of multinational corporations dominate electronics, automotive, pharmaceutical, and electrical machinery industries. In general, Portugal's light industries, such as textiles, footwear, food, beverage, cork products, and furniture, are labor intensive and technologically backward.

10 Brain

   1) Biological and Social Brain Development

   Among the higher mammals the great development of neocortex occurs.

   In each group of mammals there is a steady increase in the area of the association cortex from the most primitive to the evolutionarily most recent type; there is an increase in the number of neurons and their connections. The degree of consciousness of an organism is some function of neuronal cell number and connectivity, perhaps of neurons of a particular type in association cortex regions. This function is of a threshold type such that there is a significant quantitative break with the emergence of humans. Although the importance of language and the argument that it is genetically specified and unique to humans must be reconsidered in the light of the recent evidence as to the possibility of teaching chimpanzees, if not to speak, then to manipulate symbolic words and phrases, there are a number of unique human features which combine to make the transition not merely quantitative, but also qualitative. In particular these include the social, productive nature of human existence, and the range and extent of the human capacity to communicate. These features have made human history not so much one of biological but of social evolution, of continuous cultural transformation. (Rose, 1976, pp. 180-181)

   2) Distinctive Evolutionary Properties of the Brain

   [S]ome particular property of higher primate and cetacean brains did not evolve until recently. But what was that property? I can suggest at least four possibilities...: (1) Never before was there a brain so massive; (2) Never before was there a brain with so large a ratio of brain to body mass; (3) Never before was there a brain with certain functional units (large frontal and temporal lobes, for example); (4) Never before was there a brain with so many neural connections or synapses.... Explanations 1, 2 and 4 argue that a quantitative change produced a qualitative change. It does not seem to me that a crisp choice among these four alternatives can be made at the present time, and I suspect that the truth will actually embrace most or all of these possibilities. (Sagan, 1978, pp. 107-109)

   3) The Evolutionary Increase in the Size of the Main Areas of the Brain

   The crucial change in the human brain in this million years or so has not been so much the increase in size by a factor of three, but the concentration of that increase in three or four main areas. The visual area has increased considerably, and, compared with the chimpanzee, the actual density of human brain cells is at least 50 percent greater. A second increase has taken place in the area of manipulation of the hand, which is natural since we are much more hand-driven animals than monkeys and apes. Another main increase has taken place in the temporal lobe, in which visual memory, integration, and speech all lie fairly close together. And the fourth great increase has taken place in the frontal lobes. Their function is extremely difficult to understand... ; but it is clear that they're largely responsible for the ability to initiate a task, to be attentive while it is being done, and to persevere with it. (Bronowski, 1978, pp. 23-24)

   4) The Human Brain and Ethical Principles

   The human brain works however it works. Wishing for it to work in some way as a shortcut to justifying some ethical principle undermines both the science and the ethics (for what happens to the principle if the scientific facts turn out to go the other way?). (Pinker, 1994, p. 427)

11 Points of the compass

abbreviated as

north = nord N

south = sud S

east = est E

west = ouest O

nord, sud, est, ouest is the normal order in French as well as English.

northeast = nord-est NE

northwest = nord-ouest NO

north-northeast = nord-nord-est NNE

east-northeast = est-nord-est ENE

Where?

Compass points in French are not normally written with a capital letter. However, when they refer to a specific region in phrases such as I love the North or he lives in the North, and it is clear where this North is, without any further specification such as of France or of Europe, then they are written with a capital letter, as they often are in English, too. In the following examples, north and nord stand for any compass point word.

I love the North

= j’aime le Nord

to live in the North

= vivre dans le Nord

Normally, however, these words do not take a capital letter:

in the north of Scotland

= dans le nord de l’Écosse

Take care to distinguish this from

to the north of Scotland (i.e. further north than Scotland)

= au nord de l’Écosse

in the south of Spain

= dans le sud de l’Espagne*

it is north of the hill

= c’est au nord de la colline

a few kilometres north

= à quelques kilomètres au nord

due north of here

= droit au nord

* Note that the south of France is more usually referred to as le Midi.

There is another set of words in French for north, south etc., some of which are more

common than others:

(north) septentrion (rarely used) septentrional(e)

(south) midi méridional(e)

(east) orient oriental(e)

(west) occident occidental(e)

Translating northern etc.

a northern town

= une ville du Nord

a northern accent

= un accent du Nord

the most northerly outpost

= l’avant-poste le plus au nord

Regions of countries and continents work like this:

northern Europe

= l’Europe du Nord

the northern parts of Japan

= le nord du Japon

eastern France

= l’est de la France

For names of countries and continents which include these compass point words, such as North America or South Korea, see the dictionary entry.

Where to?

French has fewer ways of expressing this than English has ; vers le is usually safe:

to go north

= aller vers le nord

to head towards the north

= se diriger vers le nord

to go northwards

= aller vers le nord

to go in a northerly direction

= aller vers le nord

a northbound ship

= un bateau qui se dirige vers le nord

With some verbs, such as to face, the French expression changes:

the windows face north

= les fenêtres donnent au nord

a north-facing slope

= une pente orientée au nord

If in doubt, check in the dictionary.

Where from?

The usual way of expressing from the is du:

it comes from the north

= cela vient du nord

from the north of Germany

= du nord de l’Allemagne

Note also these expressions relating to the direction of the wind:

the north wind

= le vent du nord

a northerly wind

= un vent du nord

prevailing north winds

= des vents dominants du nord

the wind is in the north

= le vent est au nord

the wind is coming from the north

= le vent vient du nord

Compass point words used as adjectives

The French words nord, sud, est and ouest are really nouns, so when they are used as adjectives they are invariable.

the north coast

= la côte nord

the north door

= la porte nord

the north face (of a mountain)

= la face nord

the north side

= le côté nord

the north wall

= le mur nord

Nautical bearings

The preposition by is translated by quart in expressions like the following:

north by northwest

= nord quart nord-ouest

southeast by south

= sud-est quart sud

15 Dance

   The history of Portuguese dance includes traditional, regional folk dances, modern dance, and ballet. Portuguese folk dances have historic origins in the country's varied regions and are based on traditions associated with the historic provinces. At least by the 18th century, these folk dances, performed in traditional garb, were popular and became differentiated by region. In the south of the country, there were colorful, passionate lively dances by rural folk in the Algarve, the corridinho; and in the Ribatejo, the fandango, the dance most celebrated and known outside Portugal. In northern Portugal, even more folk dances were developed and preserved in each historic province. In Trás-os-Montes, there were the chulas and dancas do pauliteros, in which dancers used sticks and stick play. Each region had its own special folk dances and costumes, with typical jewelry on display, and with some dances reflecting regional courting and matrimonial traditions. Perhaps richest of all the provinces as the home of folk dance has been the Minho province in the northwest, with dances such as the viras, gotas, malháo, perim, and tirana. For the most part, folk dances in Portugal are slower than those in neighboring Spain.

   Various factors have favored the preservation of some of these dances including local, regional, and national dance organizations that, for recreation, continue this activity in Portugal, as well as abroad in resident Portuguese communities in Europe, the Americas, and Africa. As a part of entertainment for visitors and tourists alike, performances of folk dances with colorful costumes and lively movements have continued to interest onlookers from abroad. Such performances, usually accompanied by singing traditional folk songs, can occur in a variety of settings including restaurants, fado houses, and arenas. Such dances, too, are performed in traditional, commemorative parades on the Tenth of June from Lisbon and Oporto to Newark, New Jersey, Toronto, and France.

   In modern dance activities, Portugal has made a diversified contribution, and in recent decades ballet has received intense attention and commitment as a performing art. An outstanding example has been the professional company and its performances of the notable Ballet Gulbenkian, established and financed by the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon. Founded in 1964, Ballet Gulbenkian became an outstanding ballet company, featuring both Portuguese and international ballet dancers and directors. For decades, Ballet Gulbenkian made a distinguished contribution to the performing arts in Portugal. In 2005, unexpectedly and controversially, by fiat of the Foundation's administration, the Ballet Gulbenkian was closed down. The extinction of this ballet company provoked strong national and international protest among fans of ballet, and amounting as it did to a crisis in one division of the performing arts in a country that had expected unstinting financial support from the Foundation established from the financial legacy of notable collector, philanthropist, and financier Calouste Gulben- kian, a resident of Portugal from 1942 to 1955.
