component of chivalrous identity as a legitimising construct offering power to knights, noblemen and clerics alike. Organisations: • Department of History Researchers: • Jeroen Deploige Towards the development of ArcheoGML: a conceptual data model for a 4D archaeological GIS Ghent University Abstract: The proposed project consists of a first step towards a formal definition of a conceptual data model specifically designed for 4D archaeological data and analysis. The requirements of the archaeologists will take a central position in this development. The model will be gradually created using test cases on archaeological sites and continous feedback with the detected user requirements. Organisations: • Departement of Geography Researchers: • Philippe De Maeyer The serial nature of experimentation Ghent University Abstract: This project proposes a systematic, philosophical analysis of experimentation understood in terms of series. It aims to illuminate and understand how experiments connect sequentially, looking specifically at the early modern period, where serial experiments are abundant. Its hypothesis is that serial experimentation is used to generate knowledge. Organisations: • Departement of Philosophy and moral sciences Researchers: • Eric Schliesser • Maarten Van Dyck The tribuni plebis and the end of the Roman Republic Ghent University Abstract: The tribuni plebis are central in understanding the political power of socio-political groups in Roman society. They had massive influence in the late Republic, and are often linked with the transformation into the Principate. My study will provide a more correct image of them through the use of a socio-political methodology, based on principal-agent analysis and models of social conflict. Organisations: • Department of History Researchers: • Andries Johan Zuiderhoek Quintus Smyrnaeus' Posthomerica: an analysis in a diachronic and synchronic literary field Ghent University Abstract: The subject of my research project is the literary analysis of a late antique Greek author (Quintus of Smyrna), who figures in a contradictory literary tradition. I will investigate his literary position by means of a narratological analysis of his epic 'Posthomerica' and an intertextual comparison to relevant diachronic and synchronic sources, from Homer onwards. Organisations: • Departement of French Researchers: • Kristoffel Demoen Ferociously female Kali in Kerala: from tribal to deity to pan-Hindu goddess. Reviewing a religious process of assimilation and co-optation in a feminine context. Ghent University Abstract: This project will provide a contextualized study of goddess worship in the South Indian state Kerala. We will reconstruct the centuries-long evolution that purged a tribal deity from her folklore characteristics and show how goddesses at the margins have succeeded in gaining a place at the central Hindu pantheon. Simultaneously our results will be embedded in Kerala's unique feminine history. Organisations: • Departement of Languages and cultures of South and East Asia Researchers: • Eva De Clercq Generalisation of exteroceptive and interoceptive cues. K.U.Leuven Abstract: No English Abstract Organisations: • Psychology of Learning and Experimental Researchers: • Tom Beckers • Dirk Hermans Antwerp Yiddish Noun Plurals (AYNP). University of Antwerp Abstract: The project will explore structure and acquisition in contemporary Yiddish used by the Jewish Ultra-Orthodox community in Antwerp, Belgium. This community lives in a unique multilingual situation that includes three main languages: Yiddish and Dutch - two living languages competing as native tongues, and Loshn Koydesh (Classical Hebrew) - restricted only for praying and not used for daily communication. Our window onto native Antwerp Yiddish is the system of noun plurals, whereby a singular noun takes on a plural suffix. The aim of the project is twofold: first, to describe the system of noun plurals as it is currently used by adults, taking into account the intensive contact with Dutch, and second, to understand how this system is acquired by children from the same community. Organisations: • Centre for Computational Linguistics and Psycholinguistics (CLiPS) Researchers:
• Johan Van der Auwera • Etienne Gillis What with Sign Language? A longitudinal investigation into the language development of young deaf children with a cochlear implant (CI) Ghent University Abstract: This study investigates the language development of congenitally deaf chidren who receive a CI in the first year of life. Four questions are addressed: (1) how does the deaf child with CI develop Dutch, (2) and Flemish Sign Language, (3) what is the relationship between these two languages, and (4) what is the influence of communication choice on language development? Organisations: • Department of Latin and Greek Researchers: • Annemieke Van Herreweghe • Miriam Taverniers From denial to insurgency: The PKK and the (re)construction of Kurdish identity Ghent University Abstract: This study aims at understanding the 30-year long struggle of the Kurdish national movement in Turkey. In this sense, it examines the evolution of the PKK from an insurgent movement to a transnational social movement organization as well the emergence of Kurdish identiy politics as outcome of this movement. This research will be at junction of three areas: (ethno)-nationalism, social movements and identity politcs. Organisations: • Department of Third World studies Researchers: • Christopher Parker Indeterminism and instabilmiteit in nineteenth-century physics Ghent University Abstract: This research is about the end-nineteenth-century debate about deterlinisme in physics, about the different ways in which physicists and philosophers could doubt or reject this determinism, and about whether the question if nature is deterministic was regarded(and should be regarded) as a purely physical or rather as a philosophical issue. Organisations: • Departement of Philosophy and moral sciences Researchers: • Eric Schliesser ELABORATION OF A METHODOLOGY FOR THE EVALUATION OF SUSTAINABILITY IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT K.U.Leuven Abstract: The growing interest for sustainable construction led to the development of a multitude of Building Sustainability Assessment Methods (BSAM). Among these methods, a distinction can be made between qualitative tools (e.g. BREEAM) consisting of rating systems based on multicriteria assessment and quantitative tools (e.g. ATHENA) using a life cycle approach to evaluate the impacts generated during the whole building life span. Although quantitative tools are preferred because of their scientific base, current methods are limited to the microscale (individual buildings) and global environmental impacts. The meso and macro scale are not addressed and local impacts (e.g noise and indoor air quality) are not evaluated. The objective of this research is to elaborate a methodology to evaluate the sustainability of the built environment, using an integrated life cycle approach combining financial (Life Cycle Costing (LCC)) and environmental (Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)) impact calculations. Th Organisations: • Department of Architecture, Urban Design Researchers: • Frank De Troyer I am a PhD candidate at the KULeuven. In September 2011, I obtained my scholarship at the Intercollegiate Center for Management Science (ICM). The ICM grant is a three-year scholarship (September 2011 September 2014) which finances research in the field K.U.Leuven Abstract: No English Abstract Organisations: • Research Centre Finance Researchers: • James Thewissen GIStorical Antwerp: a micro-level data tool for the study of past urban societies, test-case: Antwerp. University of Antwerp Abstract: This project represents a formal research agreement between UA and on the other hand the Flemish Public Service. UA provides the Flemish Public Service research results mentioned in the title of the project under the conditions as stipulated in this contract. Organisations: • Centre for Urban History Researchers: • Bruno Blondé • Bert De Munck • Peter Stabel • Hilde Greefs • Tim Soens The syntax of idioms Hogeschool-Universiteit Brussel Abstract: Every language contains idiomatic expressions. In spite of their widespread occurrence, their linguistic properties have so far not been deeply and systematically investigated. The aim of this project is to increase our understanding of ‘the language of idioms’ by focusing on their behavior in syntax. Therefore, the main research question is: What is the syntax of idioms? This question can be naturally divided into two subquestions, which correspond to two sub-projects: (i) What is the internal syntax of idioms, i.e. what characterizes their internal organization and
