The references to "bere"...Indeed @Unknown. The references to "bere" in Italy, Spain, and England must be because of the huge number of Romanians living in those countries. That's really interesting! Over a million Romanian citizens live in Italy, a bit less in Spain, and even less in England.

Seriously though, thanks for the insight. While our lack of preexisting knowledge regarding minor European languages can be limiting in our analysis, the points raised Reinumag and 2084 show exactly why the research is relevant -- it's just that sometimes the things you learn from a map are unintended.Taylor Sheltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298678765648978003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166669645725536266.post-52192642861221116972011-10-25T11:25:00.564-04:002011-10-25T11:25:00.564-04:00"that the cyberscape of beer is impacted by t..."that the cyberscape of beer is impacted by the forces of globalization, especially in the creep of geolinguistic uniformity." Maybe. But it also depends on what one means by "beer" since there are now different variations depending on market and taste. You might have the globalization of In-Bev which dominates here and in Europe (Stella, Budweiser, etc). Or you will have the growing market of craft beer, dominated by the Americans (with presences in Scandinavia as well). Traditional Belgian beer (lambics, Trappist) do not dominate among the European drinking public and have their largest audience in America.fabuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688164558952431600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166669645725536266.post-45737824087759641662011-10-25T10:48:32.603-04:002011-10-25T10:48:32.603-04:00The romanian word "bere" for beer means ...The romanian word "bere" for beer means "drink" in italian. <br />The dutch and german word for beer is "bier", the french one is "bière"2084https://www.blogger.com/profile/15961433417211390008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1166669645725536266.post-47449173268307323632011-10-25T10:12:32.488-04:002011-10-25T10:12:32.488-04:00"Even Lithuanian references are prominent thr..."Even Lithuanian references are prominent throughout the Baltic states, despite Estonia's prominence in the global information economy."<br /><br />Haa!<br /><br />Unfortunately things are not as simple. "Beer" in Lithuanian is "alus". It happens to be the same in Latvian.. In Estonian, "alus" means base, basis, or boat, ship. And in Finnish.. it is also boat or ship.<br /><br />So.. I guess there are some issues that you need to address with this sort of research. <br /><br />Nevertheless, I like what you do!Reinumaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233367090734350892noreply@blogger.com
