  1. Vernacular orientation

    refimprove date November 2011 Vernacular orientation refers to the status that a language is afforded by one of its mother tongue speakers Tiessen, 2003 . This status is exhibited through the sociolinguistic behaviours of a mother tongue speaker. A speaker who exhibits positive vernacular orientation is one who exhibits a preferred status for their mother tongue in such things as patterns of language use, language attitudes, social network s and even levels of language proficiency . Likewise, a speaker who exhibits negative vernacular orientation is one who exhibits a preferred status for a language other than their mother tongue in these areas of sociolinguistic behaviour. An example of research into vernacular orientation as expressed in a community can be found at http www.und.nodak.edu dept linguistics theses 2003Tiessen.PDF . This is a study on vernacular orientation in the Talysh community of the city of Sumgayit in the Republic of Azerbaijan for the purpose of gaining a greater understanding of its causes. Vernacular orientation is described in three areas of sociolinguistic behaviour patterns of vernacular language use, vernacular language proficiency and frequency of vernacular speaking individuals in social networks. Data was collected through personal interviews. The questionnaires for these interviews were developed using a qualitative relational research approach. The description of vernacular orientation takes the form of a criteria based typology of which an analysis of influential factors is ultimately made. This analysis of influential factors demonstrates the interaction between vernacular orientation as described in the typology and the contextual elements of the family, socio economic dynamics and individual attitudes.

  1. Vernacular photography

    Unreferenced date March 2009 Image Family House 1969.jpg right 200px Vernacular photography or amateur photography refers to the creation of photographs by amateur or unknown photographers who take everyday life and common things as subjects. Though the more commonly known definition of the word vernacular is a quality of being indigenous or native, the use of the word in relation to art and architecture refers more to the meaning of the following subdefinition of vernacular architecture from The Oxford English Dictionary concerned with ordinary domestic and functional buildings rather than the essentially monumental. Examples of vernacular photographs include travel and vacation photos, family snapshots, photos of friends, class portraits, identification photographs, and photo booth images. Vernacular photographs are types of accidental art, in that they often are unintentionally artistic. Closely related to vernacular photography is found photography , which in one sense refers to the recovery of a lost, unclaimed, or discarded vernacular photograph or snapshot. Found photos are often found at flea markets, thrift and secondhand stores, yard sales, estate and tag sales, in dumpsters and trash cans, between the pages of books, or on streets and sidewalks. The use of vernacular photography in the arts is almost as old as photography itself. Vernacular photography has become far more commonplace in recent years as an art technique and is now a widely accepted genre of art photography. Vernacular photographs also have become popular with art collectors and with collectors of found photographs.

Within the history of Architecture of Norway Norwegian architecture , vernacular architecture vernacular traditions form a distinct and pervasive influence that persists to this day. Early origins Archeology Archeological evidence in Norway indicates that Nordic Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements were commonly large, communal, and multipurpose buildings. These buildings were not particularly durable they were supported by posts in the ground that rotted in the course of a few decades. Roofs were thatched or covered with birch bark and turf, and walls were built of turf, palisades or wattle and daub. Over time, the buildings became more elaborate, notably with internal pillars and increasingly sophisticated structural practices. Large farms took the form of small communities, with several buildings, including a hall of assembly. These houses eventually could be as much as 90 meters long and 7 meters wide. These had central open hearths with vents in the roof above.
