To this end, we analyze language choice, multilingual information architecture, and references to linguistic diversity on the websites of 30 highly linguistically diverse Australian primary schools.

Where automated translation options or hyperlinks to external translated information are available, these follow a monolingual logic and are listed by language names in English rather than targeting the specific languages of the school community. References to linguistic diversity are rare but serve to normalize monolingual practices while regulating and otherizing linguistic diversity.

Based on an analysis of 108 episodes of the show involving 253 border force officers and 128 passengers, we explore how the hegemonic Australian identity of the White native speaker of English is constructed on the show. Officers are represented as a relatively uniform group of heroes devoted to protecting Australia’s national security. Simultaneously, most of them look white and sound like native speakers of Australian English. In contrast to the officers, passengers, as their antagonists, do not have a predominant racial or linguistic profile. They are represented as highly diverse. What unites them is not any racial or linguistic profile but that they represent a security risk. Threat thus comes to be mapped onto diversity. The show’s schema of heroes and antagonists invites the audience to identify with the heroes. By identifying with the White-English heroes, the audience also comes to take on their power of judgment over its diverse linguistic and racial Others.

Bilingualism has been shown to enhance executive functions in both typically-developing children and autistic children, yet, the effect of bilingualism on cognitive flexibility in autism remains underexplored. In this study, we used verbal dual-tasks to compare cognitive flexibility across 50 monolingual autistic and 50 bilingual autistic children, and 50 monolingual and 50 bilingual typically-developing children. The children were also administered language ability tests and a nonverbal global-local cognitive flexibility task, in order to investigate whether performance in the dual-tasks would be modulated by the children’s language and executive function skills. The bilingual autistic children outperformed their monolingual autistic peers in the dual tasks. The strength of the bilingualism effect, however, was modulated by the type of language processing that interfered with the target information in each dual-task, which suggests that the bilingual autistic children calibrated their processing resources and efficiently adapted them to the changing demands of the dual-task only to the extent that the task did not exceed their language abilities. Bilingual autistic children relied on their executive functions rather than on their language abilities while performing in the dual-tasks.

I show that variation in choice of words and other semiotic features of this practice are best explained from a persona-constructionist perspective as part of male sociality where linguistic choices index attitudes, stances and identities in the service of social distinction.

By destroying natural predators, this deleterious increase enabled the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stal.), a major pest on rice, to become endemic, causing substantial crop losses. This paper provides an ethnographic examination of this excessive pesticide use focusing on usage in two villages in major rice producing areas, one in West Java and the other in Central Java.

Sōseki’s pioneering translation moved away from previous interpretive readings of the classic, which focused on its Buddhist elements, disaster narratives, and theme of reclusion. Rather, Sōseki’s interest lay in reading Hōjōki as a Romantic Victorian work on nature, to which end he likened its author, Kamo no Chōmei (1153 or 1155–1216), to English poet William Wordsworth (1770–1850). Sōseki’s English literature professor, James Main Dixon (1856–1933), played a crucial role in the crafting of this novel and radical interpretation, yet the translation and essay present unique views on translation as well, namely that translation simultaneously comprises a critical element of cultural circulation and yet is of dubious efficacy as a mechanism of transference between cultures and languages. In addition to bringing such matters to light, this critical analysis of Sōseki’s Hōjōki translation and essay also shows how important perspectives on translation that would appear later in the novelist’s career actually took shape during his university days.}, keywords = {Bjarke Frellesvig}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Frellesvig2021bb, title = {Proto-Japanese: Issues and Prospects.

The methods that are employed are internal reconstruction, especially applied to Old Japanese and, dialect comparison, including the varieties of the Ryukyus. Incorporating some references to Korean parallels in passing, external comparison is limited to an absolute minimum.

In the present review article I will argue that al-though this volume gives a clear overview of recent research and presents a state-of-the-art analysis of certain important issues in the field, the primary goal could have been reached more successfully. This is due to the fact that the editors have chosen to leave out a valuable source of information that may acceler-ate our understanding of proto-Japanese, namely the historical comparison of Japanese with the other Al-taic languages. In what follows I intend to give some indications of how external comparison can shed light on the reconstruction of proto-Japanese, by creating new insights and by supporting the insights devel-oped in this volume. But the significance of the com-parative method in this context also goes the other way around: the reconstruction of proto-Altaic be-comes less problematic as our understanding of proto-Japanese advances.

Various types of evidence point to a PJ system of seven vowels, including two mid vowels, *e and *o, which rose in most positions to merge with *i and *u in main island varieties; and a high central vowel *, which merged with the ancestor of Old Japanese o. Evidence for the latter comes from variable outcomes in contractions with *i. The seven vowel system for Japanese is reconstructed entirely on Japaneseinternal grounds (primarily internal reconstruction and dialect comparison), but it turns out to have interesting consequences for the comparative study of Japanese and Korean.

However, if sociolinguistics demonstrates the link between “small-scale interactions” but favors “large-scale sociological effects” (Jacquemet, 2011: 475), pragmatics works more on these small-scale interactions, to understand the mechanisms, even if the social constraints that explain the meaning in context are taken into account (Holmes, 2018: 14). Thus, meaning and intercomprehension in communication constitute major concerns of pragmatics. Since its emergence in the 1960s, pragmatics has focused on the study of discursive practices in context (Birner, 2013: 2) and that of the negotiation of meaning in daily interactions (Thomas, 1995: 2).

Overall, results showed that the CNN achieved a high level of accuracy in identifying the speakers’ L1s based on spectrogram pictures without explicit phonetic segmentation.

One hundred and three children with ASD (7- to 15-year-olds) (43 bilingual and 60 age- and IQ-matched monolingual children) were tested on a nonverbal task of attentional switching, working memory and updating task, and an online, low-verbal first-order FB task. Results showed a clear FB benefit for bilingual children with ASD as compared with their monolingual peers. There were also boosts in EF, however, there is no evidence that these EF boosts drove the FB advantage. Enhanced FB was not explained either by language, metalinguistic skills, or lower autism severity. While the results do not conclusively settle the debate on what triggers the ToM advantage in bilingual children with ASD, the empirical picture of the current study suggests that the ToM component of FB understanding in bilingual children with ASD is enhanced by the bilingual experience per se. Lay Summary The current study aimed to determine if and how bilingualism may improve the ability to understand others' beliefs in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We assessed their belief reasoning alongside a series of other skills hypothesized to be beneficial for such reasoning, namely understanding, producing, and thinking about language, recalling and switching between information, and the severity of their autistic symptoms. The overall findings highlight advantages for bilingual children with ASD over their monolingual peers for grasping beliefs, thus suggesting that pursuing bilingualism may be beneficial for cognition in ASD. Other boosts were also associated with bilingualism, such as recalling and switching between information, but these boosts were not directly related to belief understanding, highlighting the beneficial role of bilingualism per se.}, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @book{Fox2021c, title = {Austronesian Paths and Journeys}, author = {James Fox}, doi = {10.22459/APJ.2021}, isbn = {9781760464325}, year = {2021}, date = {2021-05-18}, urldate = {2021-05-18}, abstract = {This is the eighth volume in the Comparative Austronesian series.

The current crosslinguistic, multisite study is the first of its kind in South Africa, considering the influence of a range of individual and sociocultural factors on expressive vocabulary size of young children. Caregivers of toddlers aged 16 to 32 months acquiring Afrikaans (n = 110), isiXhosa (n = 115), South African English (n = 105), or Xitsonga (n = 98) as home language completed a family background questionnaire and the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) about their children. Based on a revised version of Bronfenbrenner's (1977) ecological systems theory, information was obtained from the family background questionnaire on individual factors (the child's age and sex), microsystem-related factors (the number of other children and number of adults in the child's household, maternal level of education, and SES), and exosystem-related factors (home language and geographic area, namely rural or urban). All sociocultural and individual factors combined explained 25% of the variance in expressive vocabulary size. Partial correlations between these sociocultural factors and the toddlers' expressive vocabulary scores on 10 semantic domains yielded important insights into the impact of geographic area on the nature and size of children's expressive vocabulary. Unlike in previous studies, maternal level of education and SES did not play a significant role in predicting children's expressive vocabulary scores. These results indicate that there exists an interplay of sociocultural and individual influences on vocabulary development that requires a more complex ecological model of language development to understand the interaction between various sociocultural factors in diverse contexts.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Dalakoglou2021, title = {“The Greek Crisis Ends here Tonight”: A Qualitative Study of Labor Market Deregulation in Greece Beyond the “Crisis” Paradigm}, author = {Dimitris Dalakoglou and Giorgos Poulimenakos and Anna Giulia Della Puppa and Antonios Alexandridis and Dimitris Pavlopoulos}, doi = {10.1163/24714607-bja10004}, year = {2021}, date = {2021-05-07}, journal = {Journal of Labor and Society}, volume = {1}, number = {aop}, pages = {1-21}, abstract = {The concept of crisis has frequently been used to characterize seismic historical events of the 21st century, and many scholars have interpreted it according to Agamben’s elaboration of the state of exception.

In Mardin, a medium-sized town in southeast Turkey, young Muslim women from conservative families commonly use social media to engage in personal communications and interactions with strangers, friends, and sweethearts that they never meet face to face. I define this movement from offline to online, ‘immobile mobility’ (see also Wallis 2011; 2013 and Ureta 2004). This concept captures the (im)mobility from the offline physical place of the home to the online digital place of social media, and also the human agency enacted through this movement. The mobility away from the constraints imposed by social norms ruling offline relationships takes place together with the reproduction of the public normative understandings of social and family relations. Online socialities do not challenge or transform social norms, but are rather a way to actively inhabit the social restrictions that limit women’s lives.

Revivalistics is an emerging global, trans-disciplinary field of enquiry studying comparatively and systematically the universal constraints and global mechanisms on the one hand (Zuckermann, 2003; 2009; 2020), and particularistic peculiarities and cultural relativist idiosyncrasies on the other, apparent in linguistic reclamation, revitalization and reinvigoration across various sociological backgrounds, all over the globe (Zuckermann, 2020; Zuckermann & Walsh, 2011; 2014). The article focuses on the crucial differences between revivalistics and documentary linguistics. It provides examples from the field that demonstrate the complexity of the revivalist’s work and how the revivalist’s work is distinct from that of the documentary linguist. Too many documentary linguists mislead themselves to believe that they can easily be revivalists too. But there are two crucial differences between revivalistics and documentary linguistics, which are at war between themselves: (1) Whereas documentary linguists put the language at the centre, revivalists put the language custodians at the centre. (2) Whereas in documentary linguistics the Indigenous/minority people have the knowledge of the language, in revivalistics the revivalist is the one with that knowledge. Given that the Aboriginal/minority people are the language custodians, and given that the language custodians are at the centre of the revivalistic enterprise, the revivalist must be extremely sensitive. A revivalist is not only a linguist but also a psychologist, social worker, teacher, driver, schlepper, financial manager, cook, waiter, babysitter, donor etc. A revivalist must have a heart of gold, “balls” of steel and the patience of a saint. Language revival is similar to co-parenting. But the revivalist is only a step-father. The important biological mother is the Indigenous/minority community. If you are the step-father and your spouse, who is the biological mother, makes what you perceive to be a mediocre decision with regard to your children, you cannot just disapprove of it. After all, the children are your spouse’s more than they are yours. You must work together for the best possible outcome. Similarly, if the community supports a decision that is not linguistically viable, the revivalist can try to inspire the community members, but must accept their own verdict.

However, posters’ belief in the bilingual advantage does not easily translate into effective bilingual parenting practices. First, many posters are concerned that bilingualism in the early years might be jeopardising their child's English language proficiency and hence school success. Second, a very narrow definition of ‘true’ bilingualism is connected with a relatively dogmatic belief in the ‘one parent, one language’ parenting strategy.

Long-standing political tensions that began in the colonial era and have continued into the post-independence period have rendered much of north-east India inaccessible to outsiders until relatively recently, with the result that there have been limited opportunities to build on the often patchy historical linguistic data hitherto available for comparative research. Given this historical backdrop, the sluggish advances in genetic classification are not so surprising. It is still the case that very few Tibeto-Burman languages of north-east India have been documented using modern methods of linguistic description, and all classifications – even the most recent – are still largely based on materials that were collected by amateurs more than half a century ago. The sometimes poor quality of colonial data sources serves as testimony to the varying abilities of colonial administrators and missionaries as linguistic fieldworkers: aspiration contrasts in initial consonants often go unrecognized, glottal stop finals are ignored completely, and although all of the 'Naga' languages are known to have from two to five tones, tonal contrasts are usually absent or at best are inconsistently transcribed. Difficulties presented by the quality of data have been further compounded by the sheer complexity of the linguistic situation of Nagaland and adjacent areas in which Tibeto-Burman languages are spoken. Intensive language contact, resulting historically from the kidnapping of women from other tribes or from the wholesale annexation and absorption of one linguistic community by another, has conspired to further obfuscate any genetic relationships that once may have been distinct. Despite these obstacles, recent research has made some significant progress in clarifying the confusion surrounding the genetic status of 'Naga' languages and their likely place in Tibeto-Burman. It is perhaps pertinent at this point to review the use of the term 'Naga' to refer to a Tibeto-Burman linguistic grouping. One could be forgiven for assuming from the literature that 'Naga' is already a valid and well-attested linguistic subgrouping of Tibeto-Burman, such is the ubiquity of this term in all existing classifications.}, keywords = {Alexander Robertson Coupe}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Korne2021, title = {“I Learned That My Name Is Spelled Wrong”: Lessons from Mexico and Nepal on Teaching Literacy for Indigenous Language Reclamation}, author = {Haley De Korne and Miranda Weinberg}, doi = {10.1086/713317}, issn = {0010-4086}, year = {2021}, date = {2021-04-16}, urldate = {2021-04-16}, journal = {Comparative Education Review}, volume = {65}, number = {2}, pages = {288- 309 }, abstract = {Globally many minority and Indigenous communities are searching for ways to reclaim languages that have been marginalized by socioeconomic and political processes.

Writing is simultaneously an attraction and a source of marginalization or discouragement for learners in both settings. Promoting and teaching writing creates opportunities such as raising the status, visibility, and longevity of Indigenous language education initiatives. Challenges include struggles for legitimacy among teachers and learners and the emergence of new hierarchies among dialects. We suggest that language reclamation efforts can benefit from making the most of the material and social nature of writing and from avoiding hard-line purism and a focus on form, while giving greater consideration to meaning and contexts for written expression. }, keywords = {Haley De Korne}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Ghosh2021, title = {Language in Urban Society: Kolkata and Bengali}, author = {Aditi Ghosh}, year = {2021}, date = {2021-04-13}, journal = {South Asian Language Review}, volume = {15}, number = {1}, pages = {52 - 60}, abstract = {In this age of urbanisation, life in metropolis demonstrates great converging tendencies.

The nature of the variation observed in the data ranges from phonetic alternations to strategies of paradigm regularization and stylistic shrinkage, often revealing the effects of diachronic processes of variant competition and substitution. Combining the observed patterns of variation with surveyed linguistic trends of language shift, we propose that obsolescence may be responsible for some of the variability encountered in modern SLP personal pronouns, especially that associated with certain socially- or geographically-defined subsets of the speech community (viz. the younger generations and the speakers from Jaffna) characterized by advanced language loss. }, keywords = {Hugo Cardoso}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Jourdan2021, title = {The development of weak normativity in Solomon Islands Pijin}, author = {Christine Jourdan and Johanne Angeli}, doi = {10.1075/jpcl.00069.jou}, year = {2021}, date = {2021-03-15}, journal = {Journal of Pidgin and Creole Languages}, volume = {36}, number = {1}, pages = {46-76}, abstract = {Pijin, the lingua franca of Solomon Islands, has acquired the functions of a creole in the capital city of Honiara.

Domains critical to social justice include employment, education, and community participation.

Inequalities exist not only between individuals and groups within a state but also between states.

Greek differs from Vlach Aromanian in a number of morphosyntactic properties including the position of the definite article (free and prenominal in Greek, suffixed in nominative, accusative and vocative while prefixed and suffixed in genitive and dative in Vlach, see [6], [7] as well as its optional (Vlach) vs. obligatory status with proper names (Greek). Both languages are grammatical gender ones although the status of the neuter in the tripartite gender distinction differs in the two languages, with Greek having neuter as a linguistic and a learner default [8] while Vlach Aromanian marking neuter marked for inanimate nouns [9]. Furthermore, the structure of complex DPs including Adjectives and Nouns follows the Romance word order with postnominal adjectives while Greek has a D-Adj-N order [10], [7]. Spontaneous production data from individuals in the three generations reveal that crosslinguistic influence is bidirectional although the dominance of Greek has led to attrition effects primarily in lexical use and in fluency [11]. For instance, Vlach influences Greek in the use of neuter gender by restricting the assignment of neuter to Greek animate nouns. In contrast, the prenominal adjective order is imposed on Vlach with a default rather than a marked interpretation in information structure terms. Finally, attrition in the use of definiteness marking interacting with case and word-order will be discussed. We will argue that feature resilience in the case of gender and feature vulnerability in the case of ordering and the use of the definite article can be accounted for by reference to the competition between features and interpretability effects.}, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {presentation} } @article{Vaux2021b, title = {Silence-cued stop perception: Split decisions}, author = {Bert Vaux and Bridget Samuels}, doi = {10.5617/osla.8509}, year = {2021}, date = {2021-01-22}, urldate = {2021-01-22}, volume = {11}, number = {2}, pages = {393 - 409}, abstract = {Bastian, Eimas, & Liberman (1961) found that listeners heard a [p] when a silence of more than 50ms was inserted between the [s] and the [l] in a recording of the word slit.

Nevertheless, it is surprising that a short interval of silence can substitute for something as acoustically and articulatorily complex as a phoneme. In the present work, we replicate and expand upon this study to further examine the phenomenon of silence-cued stop perception. We demonstrate the ‘Split Effect’ in a previously unexplored set of environments, analyze factors that contribute to the identity of silence-cued stops, and lay the groundwork for further investigation of the acoustic and non-acoustic factors that contribute to this perceptual illusion.

I focus on the seeming contradiction of monolingual imaginations of places with heterogeneous and multilingual inhabitants, on great fluidity and variability of language use and the concomitant limits of reification-based identification of codes, and on personalised repertoires shaped by individual trajectories and relational, rather than categorical, stances. Approach: I propose patterns and perspectives as two interrelated dimensions to guide research in configurations of this kind, illustrating epistemological and methodological points through data from multilingual settings in Casamance, Senegal. Data and analysis: I focus on data collected in the village of Agnack Grand and its surroundings, but also include data from across the Lower Casamance and adjacent regions of Guinea Bissau, discussing patterns of multilingual organisation and extracts from conversation and how their speech forms are categorised. Findings: The paper brings sociohistorical dimensions of small-scale multilingualism to the fore and identifies their lasting influences on spatial representations of language regimes. Linguistic spaces influence perspectives on speech events taking place in them and circumscribe speech participants' and observers' choices in describing repertoires, producing and analysing speech forms. Beyond the selection of language modes, perspective also determines how speech forms are categorised. I demonstrate that the patterns speakers and observers have experienced and the perspectives they assume are decisive in shaping their perception. Originality: My central observation is that there is no objective, neutral viewpoint on (multilingual) speech, but that positionality frames it at all levels. I develop new epistemologies for studying these dimensions. Significance: Putting the categorisation processes employed by speakers and observers and their underlying motivations centre stage and integrating sociolinguistic and anthropological linguistic methods and historical knowledge into linguistic description and documentation constitutes an innovative research programme.}, keywords = {Friederike Lüpke}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Tsimpli2021j, title = {Cognitive Mechanisms of Monolingual and Bilingual Children in Monoliterate Educational Settings: Evidence From Sentence Repetition}, author = {Ianthi Tsimpli and Maria Andreou and Elvira Masoura and Eleni Agathopoulou}, doi = {10.3389/fpsyg.2020.613992}, year = {2021}, date = {2021-01-20}, urldate = {2021-01-20}, journal = {Frontiers in Psychology}, volume = {11}, pages = {38-75}, abstract = {Sentence repetition (SR) tasks have been extensively employed to assess bilingual children's linguistic and cognitive resources.

Participants were two groups of 35 children, 8-12 years of age: one group consisted of Albanian-Greek monoliterate bilingual children and the other of Greek monolingual children attending a monolingual-Greek educational setting. The findings demonstrate that the two groups performed similarly in the grammaticality scores of the SR. However, monolinguals outperformed the monoliterate bilinguals in SR accuracy, as well as in the visuospatial working memory and updating tasks. The findings did not indicate any bilingual advantage in cognitive performance. The results also demonstrate that updating and visuospatial working memory significantly predicted monolingual children's SR accuracy scores, whereas Greek vocabulary predicted the performance of our monoliterate bilingual children in the same task. We attribute this outcome to the fact that monoliterate bilingual children do not rely on their fluid cognitive resources to perform the task, but instead rely on language proficiency (indicated by expressive vocabulary) while performing the SR.}, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @misc{Bhatia2021, title = {Student Writing and Genre : Reconfiguring Academic Knowledge}, author = {Aditi Bhatia}, doi = {10.1093/applin/ams025}, year = {2021}, date = {2021-01-09}, journal = {Applied Linguistics}, volume = {33}, number = {3}, pages = {354-356}, abstract = {Student Writing and Genre: Reconfiguring Academic Knowledge, is an engaging and theoretically sound book, which raises the question, ‘how do genres affect the ways students understand and engage with their disciplines?’ Drawing on a fresh approach to reconfiguring academic knowledge, Fiona English explores ‘the relationship between genres, academic knowledge and representation, particularly in relation to student writing’ (p. 1).

The study employs a critical discourse analysis framework and draws on a dataset of 160 articles, including news stories, editorials and op-ed pieces. The analysis reveals that the nomads are discursively constructed as undesirables through an othering process that centers on three discourses: a discourse of dangerousness/criminalization, a discourse of alienization, and a discourse of stigmatization. This anti-nomad/Fulani rhetoric is evident in the choice of sensational headlines, alarmist news content, organization of arguments, and use of quotations.

However, recent converts to Christianity constitute a growing segment. This paper investigates the conversion journeys of a group of first-generation Chinese Australians as they intersect with their experiences of English language learning, hybrid identity formation, settlement, and parenting. Based on qualitative open-ended interviews with seven highly educated women who had migrated to Australia as adults and converted to Christianity within the first few years of settlement, the chapter traces conversion as a key aspect of their social integration into the new society. The women experienced migration as an existential crisis of economic insecurity, loss of status, language barriers, marital problems, and parenting dilemmas. In the absence of the social networks they had lost through migration, they turned to churches for practical support. The support and community offered by church groups led them to accept a new belief system and completely transformed their lives. The long-term consolidation of the benefits of conversion were achieved through bilingual and bicultural practices and hybrid and adhesive identities, resulting in personal well-being and a high level of social integration. Christian beliefs also became a kind of objective standard that allowed them to bridge generational, linguistic, and cultural gaps with their second-generation children.

While alternative genealogies exist, conversations about OA in the Global North have largely been concerned with the model of the STEM disciplines, lately shifting to focus on the development of infrastructural fixes that transcend traditional journal formats and enforce the openness of research data and protocols. There has been far less discussion about the political implications of labour and value in OA, particularly as they relate to the defence of what we perceive as increasingly imperiled principles of academic freedom, integrity, and creativity. The undersigned are a group of scholar-publishers based in the humanities and social sciences who are questioning the fairness and scientific tenability of a system of scholarly communication dominated by large commercial publishers. With this manifesto we wish to repoliticise Open Access to challenge existing rapacious practices in academic publishing—namely, often invisible and unremunerated labour, toxic hierarchies of academic prestige, and a bureaucratic ethos that stifles experimentation—and to bear witness to the indifference they are predicated upon. In this manifesto we mobilise an extended notion of research output, which encompasses the work of building and maintaining the systems, processes, and relations of production that make scholarship possible. We believe that the humanities and social sciences are too often disengaged from the public and material afterlives of their scholarship.

The characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses of each approach are illustrated. The first suggestion is “translating from cultures.” This is an anthropological approach overtly framing the text within its context through thick translation. The second main approach, “translating for cultures,” closely follows Schleiermacher. The approach is divided into two parts, depending on whether the translator wishes to highlight or reduce the difference. Highlighting difference is favored by cultural studies scholars to protect vulnerable groups and difference itself; while reducing difference, favored by linguists, aims to reduce barriers to the text. The final approach, “translating between cultures,” is an intercultural approach, which accepts that the reader's “cultural filter” will always distort and otherwise affect reading of the translation.

The banners that have emerged during the Covid-19 pandemic which was also the subject of a national-level driven policy, have been involved in a nation-wide public debate over the language styles of banners used to urge people to stay indoors. Based on the analysis of the early COVID-19 banners and the related online comments, this article analyzes the language style patterns of the banners and the mode of banner circulation. The study found that the manner in which the banners are circulated goes beyond a unidirectional path of on-site instant communication. This process is facilitated by social networks and mass media, which, during circulation, twice created a banner upgrade. The upgrades created decontextualization and function extension of the banners, whereas audience feedback triggered an adaptive adjustment of the language style of the banners.

Chronic alcoholism may potentiate APAP hepatotoxicity and this increased risk of APAP toxicity is observed when APAP is ingested even shortly after alcohol is cleared from the body. However, clinical reports also suggest that acute alcohol consumption may have a protective effect against hepatotoxicity by inhibiting microsomal acetaminophen oxidation and thereby reducing N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) production. The aim of this study is to model this dual role of alcohol to determine how the timing of alcohol ingestion affects APAP metabolism and resulting liver injury and identify mechanisms of APAP induced liver injury. The mathematical model is developed to capture condition of a patient of single time APAP overdose who may be an acute or chronic alcohol user. The analysis suggests that the risk of APAP-induced hepatotoxicity is increased if APAP is ingested shortly after alcohol is cleared from the body in chronic alcohol users. A protective effect of acute consumption of alcohol is also observed in patients with APAP overdose. For example, simultaneous ingestion of alcohol and APAP overdose or alcohol intake after or before few hours of APAP overdose may result in less APAP-induced hepatotoxicity when compared to a single time APAP overdose.

Twenty-seven monolingual Greek-speaking and twenty-nine bilingual Albanian-Greek children with ASD were tested on ToM reasoning in verbal and low-verbal ToM tasks, an executive function 2-back task, and a sentence repetition task. Results revealed that bilingual children with ASD performed better than monolinguals with ASD in the low-verbal ToM and the 2-back tasks. In the sentence repetition task, bilinguals scored higher than monolinguals in complex sentences, and specifically in adverbials and relatives. Regarding the relations between ToM, EF, and sentence repetition, the monolingual group’s performance in the verbal ToM tasks was associated with complement syntax, whereas, for the bilingual children with ASD, performance in both verbal and low-verbal ToM tasks was associated with EF and adverbial clause repetition.

In Sranan, by contrast, both Manner and Path are expressed by the verb, which may be part of a serial verb construction, such as go and kmopo in (ia) and (ib), respectively. We argue that influence from the West-African Gbe languages that were part of the substrate in the early history of Sranan may account for the typological make-up of Sranan regarding the expression of movement. Recently, speakers have begun to use the Dutch preposition uit ‘out’ in Sranan to express moving out. This is related to a more general trend whereby simple locative prepositions have become possible in Sranan, whereas from around 1700 to the mid-20th century, the only simple locative preposition was (n)a.

An identification study shows that perception roughly matches production in that F1 is the main perceptual cue associated with the contrast. Structured variation in production suggests a sound change still in progress: While younger speakers largely rely on vowel height to produce the register contrast, older male speakers maintain a variety of secondary properties, including optional closure voicing.

A consequence of this newly found ease of communication between speakers of different languages, who are separated only by a keyboard and a screen, has led to the strengthening of the role of English as a common and international language. It therefore follows that many instances of humour online appear to originate in English. In fact, the prominence and social standing of English today makes it the primary language of online humour by default. Internet memes, which seem to have overtaken traditional jokes as humorous tropes in everyday interaction, mostly come from Western sources, or more precisely from templates based on fragments of US culture. It thus follows that more English humour undergoes translation into other languages, and therefore goes viral, than vice versa.

A well-understood case is Vietnamese (similar in its essentials to that of Chinese and many languages of the Tai-Kadai and Hmong-Mien language families), where the loss of final la ryngeal consonants led to the creation of three tones, and the tones later multiplied as voicing oppositions on initial consonants waned. This is by no means the only attested di achronic scenario, however. Besides well-known cases of tonogenesis in East Asia, this survey includes discussions of less well-known cases of tonogenesis from language fami lies including Athabaskan, Chadic, Khoe and Niger-Congo. There is tonogenetic potential in various series of phonemes: glottalized versus plain consonants, unvoiced versus voiced, aspirated versus unaspirated, geminates versus simple (and, more generally, tense versus lax), and even among vowels, whose intrinsic fundamental frequency can transphonologize to tone. We draw attention to tonogenetic triggers that are not so well-known, such as [+ATR] vowels, aspirates and morphotonological alternations. The ways in which these common phonetic precursors to tone play out in a given language depend on phonological factors, as well as on other dimensions of a language's structure and on patterns of language contact, resulting in a great diversity of evolutionary paths in tone systems. In some language families (such as Niger-Congo and Khoe), recent tonal devel opments are increasingly well understood, but working out the origin of the earliest tonal contrasts (which are likely to date back thousands of years earlier than tonogenesis among Sino-Tibetan languages, for instance) remains a mid-to long-term research goal for comparative-historical research.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Alexis Michaud}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Pham2020bb, title = {Productive Reduplication in Southern Vietnamese}, author = {Andrea Hoa Pham and Andrew Anh Pham}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-09-08}, journal = {Journal of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society}, volume = {13}, number = {2}, pages = {i-x}, abstract = {Vietnamese reduplication shows harmony in tone height between base and reduplicant.

The study explores to what extent transfer of native language properties can explain L2 intonation patterns in narrow focus marking, and whether intonation is learned in a uniform fashion in terms of its form, function, and rate of developmental progression. Findings indicate that the similarity of the source and target languages (both in terms of typological closeness in their intonation systems and the actual phonetic manifestation of narrow focus) may influence L2 learners' realisation of narrow focus intonation. However, in terms of the phonetic implementation of cues to signal narrow focus the f0 range cue appeared to pose the most difficulty with learners producing a narrower pitch range than the native speakers, regardless of their English proficiency or L1. The duration cue was found to be problematic only for the Japanese learners of English. Overall, the study reveals that the acquisition of the phonological patterns of narrow focus intonation depends on the similarity between the L1 and the L2 in both surface tonal structure and phonological rules that constrain it. We argue that L2 learners have to acquire both aspects, as they learn to master the various factors that determine what the appropriate language-specific phonological structures and phonetic implementation patterns are in the L2.}, keywords = {Calbert Graham}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @misc{Piller2020j, title = {Literacy in heritage language maintenance}, author = {Ingrid Piller}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-09-05}, urldate = {2020-09-05}, abstract = {Learning how to read and write often takes a backseat in heritage language maintenance.

Debates about resistance in the sociological and sociolinguistic literature cover many aspects: from the degree to which resistance can be seen as related to established social groups (see Rampton 1996), to the level of agentivity and intention that is required for an action to be regarded as resistant, to the type of social behavior that qualifies. Thus, while some see resistance as based on actions, others see it as based on cultural appropriation (Hall & Jefferson 1976). In their comprehensive review of literature on the topic, Hollander & Einwohner (2004) conclude that resistance can be seen as consisting of action and opposition. In this paper, I analyze resistance from the point of view of opposition to ideas, social situations, institutional actions and processes that result or may result in discrimination or stereotyping of specific social groups, as negotiated in the digital sphere by migrant and non-migrant youth belonging to a school-based community. Indeed, it has been argued (Chiluwa 2012, Chibuwe & Ureke 2016) that digital environments constitute ideal arenas for the development of resistance thanks to their wide reach and their ability to mobilize people around common themes. However, much of the research in this area has targeted organized resistance fueled by political or ethnic groups. In this paper I argue that resistance is an emerging process that does not necessarily stem within political contexts or from open choice, but can develop within interactional exchanges focused on everyday life events. Thus, what I am interested in here is in how spontaneous acts and discourses of resistance emerge in the everyday exchanges of a diverse community that was not born around a particular social or political agenda. For this paper, I will examine exchanges that happen on the Facebook page of one of the members of the community. I will show how resistance takes many forms: from irony and jokes to the raising of serious topics, to the dissemination of information and through different discourse genres: from storytelling to the posting of pictures.}, keywords = {Anna De Fina}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Theodoropoulou2020b, title = {Blue-collar workplace communicative practices: a case study in construction sites in Qatar}, author = {Eirini Theodoropoulou}, doi = {10.1007/s10993-019-09518-z}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-09-01}, journal = {Language Policy}, volume = {19}, number = {1}, pages = {363–387}, abstract = {The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of the role of language in multilingual blue-collar workplaces by investigating how communication is realized in construction sites in Qatar. The State of Qatar offers a unique and, hence, very interesting setting for the linguistic investigation of migration-related issues, such as multilingualism (Pietikäinen et al. in Sociolinguistics from the periphery: small languages in new circumstances, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2016), due to the fact that over 90% of its population consists of non-citizens (Ahmad, in: Kamrava, Babar (eds) Migrant labor in the Persian Gulf, Hurst & Company, London, pp 21–40, 2015). In addition, after its successful bid to host the World Cup 2022, the country is currently witnessing a rapid transformation of its landscape evident through its massive number of construction sites, where people of different national, ethnic and social class backgrounds from all over the world are hired to work together in developing the infrastructure that is part of the ambitious Qatar Vision 2030. Against this backdrop, the focus is on the sociolinguistic resources (Blommaert in The sociolinguistics of globalization, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2010) mobilized in a construction site at a university in Qatar. The multilingual community of practice (Lave and Wenger in Situated learning: legitimate peripheral participation, Cambridge University Press, New York, 1991) investigated consists of blue-collar workers from India and their communication practices with their supervisors, who are project site engineers from all over the world. In such transnational fields, where effective communication is a sine qua non not only for the successful completion of the project or infrastructure itself but also, and perhaps most importantly, for the safety of everybody involved in the construction, multilingualism is the norm. It is argued that communication is realized through spatial repertoires (Canagarajah, in: Canagarajah (ed) The Routledge handbook of migration and language, Routledge, New York, pp 1–28, 2017), that are constructed and used as ingroup markers to facilitate communication among people from different nationalities, ethnicities and social classes.

A study of young Hindi learners studying in challenging contexts in India}, author = {Ianthi Tsimpli and Lina Mukhopadhyay and Salim Tamboli and Kankan Das}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-08-14}, urldate = {2020-08-14}, abstract = {In a vast multilingual country like India, primary education is offered in various languages as mediums of instruction (MoI) to support the state languages and foster social justice in education. An important milestone of primary education is to help learners develop comprehension skills in MoI to process information and lay a strong foundation for education. Comprehension involves 'inference generation skill' that helps learners formulate multiple possible answers. Teaching and assessment in India have a product-based content testing approach and teachers are not trained to deal with individual differences in responses in a constructive manner. In this paper, learners are assessed in oral and print mode to understand what gives rise to individual differences in comprehension through Hindi as MoI. A group of 30 bi/multilingual learners, 7 to 12 years old, attending Class IV in state run primary schools in Bihar (India) participated in the study. A quantitative analysis of learner performance shows that inference generation is affected by modality (oral or print), gender and the complexity of inferences. A qualitative analysis of individual variations shows that of the total number of inappropriate responses to comprehension questions, many refer to experiential or world-knowledge inferences but fail to link them to the specific story-based information. This indicates difficulties with inference generation and the ability to select only the relevant parts of the response. The findings have implications for pedagogical methods of promoting inference generation skills using world knowledge in combination with text-based information to offer meaningful feedback. }, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {book} } @article{Michaud2020c, title = {Voix de « ceux qui ne sont rien » en Asie du Sud-Est}, author = {Alexis Michaud and Minh-Chau Nguyen and Likun He}, doi = {10.4000/clo.7019}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-08-12}, journal = {Cahiers de littérature orale}, volume = {3}, abstract = {The editorial team of the Cahiers de literature oral inviting contributions around “anti-establishment oralities”, we offer an overview of three documents of oral literature coming from the civilizations of East Asia and South-East: a Naxi historiette, khamou, and a Vietnamese song, each in dialogue with a text (article or book) taken from social and political news.}, keywords = {Alexis Michaud}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Sidnell2020c, title = {Presupposition and Entailment}, author = {Jack Sidnell}, doi = {10.1002/9781118786093.iela0325}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-08-11}, urldate = {2020-08-11}, journal = {The International Encyclopedia of Linguistic Anthropology}, pages = {1-8}, abstract = {The terms “presupposition” and “entailment” refer to fundamental operations of human thinking which are of central relevance to language use and social interaction.

In this study on Chinese reading, we used a parafoveal preview paradigm to investigate how four different types of sign phonologically related preview affect reading processes in adult deaf signers of Hong Kong Sign Language (HKSL). The four types of sign phonologically related preview-target pair were: (1) pairs with HKSL translations that overlapped in three parameters-handshape, location, and movement; (2) pairs that overlapped in only handshape and location; (3) pairs that only overlapped in handshape and movement; and (4) pairs that only overlapped in location and movement. Results showed that the handshape parameter was of particular importance as only sign translation pairs that had handshape among their overlapping sign phonological parameters led to early sign activation. Furthermore, we found that, compared to control previews, deaf readers took longer to read targets when the sign translation previews overlapped with targets in either handshape and movement or handshape, movement, and location. In contrast, fixation times on targets were shorter when previews and targets overlapped location and any single additional parameter-either handshape or movement. These results indicate that the phono-logical parameters of handshape, location, and movement are activated via orthography during Chinese reading and can have different effects on parafoveal processing in deaf signers of HKSL.}, keywords = {Gladys Tang}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Tsimpli2020g, title = {Categorical and Dimensional Diagnoses of Dyslexia: Are They Compatible?}, author = {Ianthi Tsimpli and Luca Cilibrasi}, doi = {10.3389/fpsyg.2020.02171}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-08-01}, urldate = {2020-08-01}, journal = {Frontiers in Psychology}, volume = {11}, pages = {21-71}, abstract = {Dyslexia is often assessed using categorical diagnoses, and subtypes of dyslexia are also recognized in a categorical fashion.

This article offers a conceptual framework for conciliating these two positions. In short, the proposal is to use a set of multicomponent continuous assessments of reading, rather than thresholds. The proposal is explained using original data obtained from a sample of 30 children (age 7 to 11), tested in the United Kingdom. Using an assessment based on categorical-thresholds, only five children in our sample qualify for extra assistance, and only one may get a diagnosis of dyslexia, while with the mixed system proposed, a few additional children in the gray area would receive attention.

We analysed (a) fixation duration in subject and object antecedent pictures to examine online processing and (b) offline responses in comprehension questions to investigate final interpretation, i.e., ambiguity resolution. Our offline results revealed that pronominal resolution patterned across age groups: A clear subject preference of 'o ídhios' (‘the same’) was drawn from results irrespective of the word-order used, suggesting that this expression is preferentially linked to an element in prior discourse that has a parallel subject grammatical role, due to its focus feature (though OVS boosted the less preferred object readings). 'Aftós' (‘he’), a pronoun previously suggested sensitive to topic-shift, was overall proved ambiguous for both young and elderly adults. An age effect was qualified by significant differences in online processing of both subject expressions, as evidenced by fixation on both antecedent pictures. Interestingly, syntactic complexity (OVS structures) interacted with age in the case of 'o ídhios', raising fixation in subject antecedents among young, compared to the elderly adults.

Three-mode factor analyses indicated that overall, participants in the study distinguished between younger and older people and family members and people outside the family in their judgements of filial piety. In addition, subjects’ responses fell into dimensions of practical support versus communication, and respect versus contact and support. Results also indicated differences between what young people should give to their elderly parents (practical support), what parents expect (continued contact with their children) and what older adults in general expect (respect). Students from Asian cultures showed a sharper distinction than did Western students between what they intended to provide (practical support) and what they perceived their parents and older adults to expect (continued contact and respect), although this difference was not great.

Some of the salient genetic linguistic features exhibited in many of these languages such as advanced tongue root, vowel harmony, syllabic nasality, tonal polarity, suffixal noun classes, time-depth particles, and SVOV serializing syntax are outlined in this chapter, along with an etymological account of the term "Mabia". It is then argued that, while these features are not unique to the Mabia languages as many other non-Mabia language groups also exhibit some of them, the totality of their regular occurrences in the Mabia languages makes Mabia a unique branch within the Niger-Congo language family. By totality of occurrence, I mean that more of these features occur in most Mabia languages than in languages of other groups. For instance, though many Kwa languages also have affixal noun classes there are more suffixal ones in Mabia than in Kwa. For example, the singular-plural pairs for ‘house’ in Dagaare are yí-rì ‘house’ and yí-è ‘houses’ (with suffixes marking number in Dagaare). In Akan it is è-fíé ‘house’and m̀-fíé ‘houses’ (with prefixes marking number in Akan). In this chapter, these Mabia features are discussed mostly from a comparative perspective with occasional references to language groups like Kwa and other Niger-Congo language groups.

The focus is on what kinds of linguistic and non-linguistic resources are important to whom, how individuals are able to access them, and most importantly, how the latter are circulated or fixed in specific spatio-temporal frames. Our analysis is based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out within different migrants’ institutional temporary accommodations in the cities of Genoa, Turin and Asti (Italy). Data involve a triangulation of participant observation, audio recordings of casual conversations and semi-guided interviews, including focus group interviews and narratives of personal experiences. We discuss how in contrast to places of transition that migrants, subjected to physical and psychological abuse, associate with silence or with minimal communicative “survival,” these structures can be seen as complex spaces where communication and resistance are possible. It is through language that people navigate, experience and make sense of their world. Our analysis shows that, even though embedded in ‘exceptional spaces’, constrained by border making policies of control and physical immobility, migrants are able to develop daily tactics of mediation, resistance and change by translanguaging, that is, by mobilizing a variety of linguistic and semiotic resources associated with different languages and cultural traditions for their purposes. We argue that within these contexts, though for some migrants only and not always, everyday translanguaging practices represent a potentially performative and transformational communicative mode through which migrants are able to engage with socio-cultural, political, economic asymmetries and linguistic diversity.}, keywords = {Anna De Fina}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Baider2020bb, title = {Apprentissage des langues : Compétence pragmatique, Interculturalité}, author = {Fabienne Baider and Cristelle Cavalla and Georgeta Cislaru}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-07-01}, journal = {Le Langage et l'Homme}, number = {551}, pages = {Le Langage et l'Homme}, abstract = {Since the 1990s, research in language teaching has turned to pragmatics to renew teaching, assessment and learning methods (Fulcher, Davidson, Kemp 2011).

Participants had their eye movements recorded as they silently read Chinese sentences containing orthographic, homophonic, homovisemic, or unrelated errors. Sentences varied in terms of how much contextual information was available leading up to the target word. Fixation time analyses revealed that in early fixation measures, deaf readers activated word meanings primarily through orthographic representations. However, in contexts where targets were highly predictable, fixation times on homophonic errors decreased relative to those on unrelated errors, suggesting that higher levels of contextual predictability facilitated early phonological activation. In the measure of total reading time, results indicated that deaf readers activated word meanings primarily through orthographic representations, but they also appeared to activate word meanings through visemic representations in late error recovery processes. Examining the influence of reading fluency level on error recovery processes, we found that, in comparison to deaf readers with lower reading fluency levels, those with higher reading fluency levels could more quickly resolve homophonic and orthographic errors in the measures of gaze duration and total reading time, respectively.

During the past century, Israeli has become the primary mode of communication in all domains of Israel’s public and private life. Issues of language are so sensitive in Israel that politicians are often involved. For example, in an article in Ha’aretz (21 June 2004), the late left-wing politician Yossi Sarid attacked the (most widespread) ‘common language of éser shékel’ as inarticulate and monstrous, and urged civilians to fight it and protect ‘Hebrew’. However, most Israelis say éser shékel ‘ten shekels’ rather than asar-á shkal-ím (original Hebrew pronunciation: [ʕǎśåˈrå ʃəqåˈli:m]), the former literally meaning ‘ten (masculine singular) shekel (masculine singular)’, the latter ‘ten (feminine singular) shekels (masculine plural)’, and thus having a ‘polarity-of-gender agreement’—with a feminine numeral and a masculine plural noun, which is a Biblical Hebrew norm, not so in Israeli. Brought into being by legislation in 1953 as the supreme institute for Hebrew, the Academy of the Hebrew Language prescribes standards for Israeli grammar, lexis (vocabulary), orthography, transcription, and vocalization (vowel marking) ‘based upon the study of Hebrew’s historical development’. This chapter critically analyses the Academy’s mission, as intriguingly—and in my view oxymoronically—defined in its constitution: ‘to direct the development of Hebrew in light of its nature’.

A language is a col-lect-ion, an abstract ensemble of lects (idiolects, sociolects, dialects, and other lects) rather than an entity per se. It is more like a species than an organism. Still, the genetic classification of Israeli as a consistent entity has preoccupied linguists since the language emerged at the end of the nineteenth century. As a consequence, Israeli affords insights into the politics and evolution not only of language, but also of linguistics and revivalistics. The chapter proposes that the languages spoken in Israel today is a semi-engineered, Semito-European hybrid language. Its complexity should be acknowledged and celebrated, regardless of what one chooses to call it. The chapter also introduces two useful principles to the analysis of revival languages: The Founder Principle and the Congruence Principle. In revivalistics, the Founder Principle proposes that the impact of the mother tongues of the revivalists—in the critical period of the emergence of the revival language—is much greater than that of following generations. The Congruence Principle in revivalistics proposes that the more contributing languages a feature exists in, the more likely it is to persist in the emerging revival language.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Ghil‘ad Zuckermann}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Zuckermann2020bb, title = {Our Ancestors Are Happy: Language Revival and Mental HealthLanguage Revival and Mental Health}, author = {Ghil‘ad Zuckermann}, doi = {10.1093/oso/9780199812776.003.0009}, isbn = {9780199812776 T1}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-06-18}, pages = {266-280}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, abstract = {This chapter explores the correlation between language revival and wellbeing. It suggests that there is an urgent need to systematically assess quantitatively the mental health impact of language reclamation on indigenous communities. The primary hypothesis is that there will be significant improvements in mental health during the language revival process, reduced suicide ideation (i.e. people would be less likely to come up with the idea of suicide as a possibility), reduced self-harm, and reduced instances of suicide. Language is postulated as core to a people’s wellbeing and mental health. The link between poor mental health and suicide has been clearly demonstrated. But it is one thing to have a statement about the importance of language and mental health; it is another to have the statistical evidence that governments often require to implement policies that will affect personal, community and social wellbeing. Hallett, Chandler, and Lalonde (2007) report a clear correlation between youth suicide and lack of conversational knowledge in the native language in British Columbia, Canada. However, there has been no systematic study of the impact of language revival on mental health and suicide, partly because language reclamation is still rare.

Subtitles are an abbreviated written translation of what can be heard on screen.

This analysis contrasts writers’ intentions to write (in) a particular language vs. to mobilise linguistic resources in a more holistic manner. The latter type of writing, it is argued, is better characterised as language-independent, since writers do not draw borders between what can be analysed as different languages from a code-based perspective often applied by analysts. The co-existence, spaces, and potentials of language-based and language-independent writing are examined in detail. This type of writing is invisible to language planners and often taken to be unreadable, akin to the mythical writing on the wall inspiring the title of the paper.

In the Datooga case, kinship provides the relevant moral framework; the cultural and moral significance of fathers, in particular, makes them good to swear by. From a crosscultural perspective on swearing, I suggest that Ljung’s (2011)“mother” theme be subsumed under a more general “kinship” theme.}, keywords = {Alice Mitchell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @conference{Michaud2020d, title = {AlloVera: A Multilingual Allophone Database}, author = {Alexis Michaud and David Mortensen and Xinjian Li and Patrick Littell and Shruti Rijhwani and Antonios Anastasopoulos and Alan Black and Florian Metze and Graham Neubig}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-04-16}, booktitle = {A Multilingual Allophone Database}, publisher = {Language Resources and Evaluation Conference}, abstract = {We introduce a new resource, AlloVera, which provides mappings from 218 allophones to phonemes for 14 languages.

The book is divided into two main parts that represent Zuckermann’s fascinating and multifaceted journey into language revival, from the ‘Promised Land’ (Israel) to the ‘Lucky Country’ (Australia) and beyond: PART 1: LANGUAGE REVIVAL AND CROSS-FERTILIZATION The aim of this part is to suggest that due to the ubiquitous multiple causation, the reclamation of a no-longer spoken language is unlikely without cross-fertilization from the revivalists’ mother tongue(s). Thus, one should expect revival efforts to result in a language with a hybridic genetic and typological character. The book highlights salient morphological, phonological, phonetic, syntactic, semantic and lexical features, illustrating the difficulty in determining a single source for the grammar of ‘Israeli’, the language resulting from the Hebrew revival. The European impact in these features is apparent inter alia in structure, semantics or productivity. PART 2: LANGUAGE REVIVAL AND WELLBEING The book then applies practical lessons (rather than clichés) from the critical analysis of the Hebrew reclamation to other revival movements globally, and goes on to describe the why and how of language revival. The how includes practical, nitty-gritty methods for reclaiming ‘sleeping beauties’ such as the Barngarla Aboriginal language of Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, e.g. using what Zuckermann calls talknology (talk+technology).

Methodology: Two short silent videos were used to elicit narratives from 20 heritage speakers of Turkish, both in Turkish and in Dutch. Monolingual baseline data were collected from 20 monolingually raised speakers of Turkish in Turkey and 20 monolingually raised speakers of Dutch in the Netherlands. We also collected language background data from bilinguals with an extensive survey. Data and analysis: Using generalised logistic mixed-effect regression, we analysed the influence of discourse status and pragmatic context on the choice of subject REs in Turkish and Dutch, comparing bilingual data to the monolingual baseline in each language. Findings: Heritage speakers used overt versus null pronouns in Turkish and stressed versus reduced pronouns in Dutch in pragmatically appropriate contexts. There was, however, a slight increase in the proportions of overt pronouns as opposed to NPs in Turkish and as opposed to null pronouns in Dutch. We suggest an explanation based on the degree of entrenchment of differential RE types in relation to discourse status as the possible source of the increase. Originality: This paper provides data from an understudied language pair in the domain of reference tracking in language contact situations. Unlike several studies of pronouns in language contact, we do not find differences across monolingual and bilingual speakers with regard to pragmatic constraints on overt pronouns in the minority pro-drop language.

An acoustic analysis of Madurese consonants and vowels obtained from the recordings of 15 speakers is presented to assess whether its voiced and aspirated plosives might share acoustic properties indicative of a shared articulatory gesture. Although voiced and voiceless aspirated plosives in word-initial position pattern together in terms of several spectral balance measures, these are most likely due to the following vowel quality, rather than aspects of a shared laryngeal configuration. Conversely, the voiceless (aspirated and unaspirated) plosives share multiple acoustic properties, including F0 trajectories and overlapping voicing lag time distributions, suggesting that they share a glottal aperture target.

Specters of inauthenticity and illegitimacy were part of that assessment.

Quite often the majority language, i.e. the language of the society and schooling, overtakes the minority language, i.e. the home language, and becomes dominant. Moreover, the minority language, which is the heritage speakers’ first language (L1), rarely receives further support during the education years. However, a number of studies (Andreou 2015, Dosi, Papadopoulou and Tsimpli, 2016; Marinis, Tsimpli and Bongartz, submitted) have highlighted the significance of L1 support in schooling, since it has been observed that, when both languages are equally supported and developed, the bilingual advantage is more pronounced. Apart from biliteracy, namely the literacy in both languages, the role of educational setting has also been pointed out in several studies (Dosi and Papadopoulou, in press; Marinis et al., submitted). Hence an educational setting, which supports both languages, apparently boosts the bilinguals’ performance on both linguistic and cognitive abilities. Turning to the tools employed to measure language abilities, a common used tool is the Sentence Repetition Task (SRT). However, it is not yet clear whether performance on SRT is affected by working memory abilities. Some researchers argue that memory skills have a significant impact on SRT performance (Alloway and Gathercole 2005), whereas other researchers do not find any correlation between SRTs and working memory abilities (Chondrogianni, Andreou and Tsimpli, submitted). The present study employs SRT as an experimental task to explore Albanian-Greek heritage and non heritage bilinguals’ abilities in their two languages and seeks to investigate the contribution of working memory in SRT accuracy.

The present study examines how bilingualism, home language practices in the preschool age and L1 and L2 current input affect vocabulary development in Albanian-Greek bilingual children. To this aim, 79 bilingual children, aged 8 to 10 years-old were administered two tasks: (a) a Greek expressive vocabulary task (Vogindroukas et al. 2009), and (b) an Albanian expressive vocabulary task (Kapia & Kananaj 2013).

It deals primarily with the ways in which language is embedded in the labor migration infrastructure that produces transnational Filipina domestic workers and the conditions that regulate their mobility. It is argued and illustrated through numerous examples that the transnational mobility of these domestic workers is dependent on the selection, assembly and efficient performance of particular bricolages of linguistic resources that construct migrants as labor and not as people. The various institutions and social actors that are involved in the migration infrastructure include the Philippine State, transnational maid agencies, Singapore and the domestic workers themselves. The book is split into seven chapters that deconstruct the aforementioned relationship at multiple analytical and methodological levels. Chapter 1, “Language and transnational domestic workers”, provides the background of the study by presenting the core concepts used throughout the analysis, including those of scripts and transnational workers. The key components of migration process are also explained here. As templates that index domestic workers, scripts are embedded in large-scale and everyday processes that produce these workers as laboring personalities awaiting their selection and purchase by potential employers. In this sense, domestic work, which is inscribed in scripts, is highly ideological and it includes material processes of distinction, stratification and commodification. The author prefers to talk about scripts of servitude instead of scripts of domestic work to emphasize the dependency and submission present in paid domestic work. Another important category that informs her analysis is that of scripts of linguistic taylorism, which include concrete linguistic resources that connect language to profit. Against this backdrop, scripts are enacted and are subsequently converted into various forms of capital (e. g. economic, symbolic, social and cultural) by the actors involved in the migration infrastructure. The author presents their sociodemographic profiles along with her methodology that consists of ethnographic interviews and participant observation of training maids, whom the author herself has taught voluntarily.

We show how metadiscourse is used to manifest incivility in a number of ways including to prioritise the current speaker’s foci over those of the interlocutor; to express metalingual commentary which negatively characterises the interlocutor's discourse; and, to express discourse norms which undermine the open exchange of ideas.

We employed a 3 × 2 factorial design (N = 222 valid cases) in which the level of involvement enacted by partner one (high, low, or control) and the veracity of claims made by partner two (truth or deception) were manipulated. This paper discusses three findings that were observed in this study: (1) Consistent with the truth bias, most people perceived their partner as truthful (84%) or were unsure of the partner’s truthfulness. (2) Contrary to expectations, interaction partners rated deceivers lower than truth tellers in rapport and synchrony, but results indicated that greater involvement was related to increased synchronization and rapport. (3) Finally, both trained coders and automated spectrum analysis observed almost no difference between deceivers and truth-tellers in the interaction behaviors, but deceivers showed more synchrony in their faster movements.

We present a questionnaire estimating sociolinguistic diversity, and show that this measure assesses a distinct construct as compared to a child’s multilingualism. Children were classified as growing up monolingually or bilingually depending on whether they were growing up with one or more languages in the home. Regarding cognitive performance, bilinguals were found to outperform monolinguals on the n-back task as well as on the Raven's task. In addition, a socially and linguistically diverse environment seems to enhance cognitive performance for children who are not multilingual themselves. Finally, several contextual factors, such as city were found to influence cognitive performance.

We did not find differences between bilingual and monolingual speakers, possibly because bilinguals were proficient in both languages and used them frequently - in line with a usage-based approach to language. However, bilinguals produced more deictic gestures than monolinguals in both Turkish and Dutch, which we interpret as a bilingual strategy. Deictic gestures may help organize discourse by placing entities in gesture space and help reduce the cognitive load associated with being bilingual, e.g., inhibition cost.

Using a number of sources, including royal chronicles, diaries, memoirs and interviews, the book discusses why women warriors were active in a domain traditionally preserved for men, and how they arguably transgressed peacetime gender boundaries as agents of violence. From multidisciplinary perspectives, the chapters assess what drove women to take on a variety of roles, namely palace guards, guerrillas and war leaders, and to what extent their experiences were different to those of men. The reader is taken on an almost 1,500-year long journey through a crossroads region well-known for the diversity of its peoples and cultures, but also their ability to creatively graft foreign ideas onto existing ones. The book also explores the re-integration of women into post-conflict Southeast Asian societies, including the impact (or lack thereof) of newly established international norms, and the frequent turn towards pre-conflict gender roles in these societies.

Twenty-four young adults listened to a story prompting an inference (e.g., polar bear), and then saw a picture that was either consistent (polar bear) or inconsistent but still plausible (penguin). Larger negativity (N400) in the inconsistent picture indicated successful inferential monitoring. Subsequently, a sentence carried the disambiguating word which was either expected (“bear”) or unexpected (“penguin”) in relation to the auditory-verbal information. Larger negativity in the unexpected word coming from the consistent picture suggested that comprehenders had difficulties selecting the unexpected concept when previous information was contradictory. More importantly, this effect was modulated by inhibitory control, where a higher resistance to distractor interference (flanker task) was associated with a better ability to suppress pictorial information, therefore preventing semantic competition. Similarly, accuracy measured in a final comprehension question demonstrated that higher inhibitory control was related to a more efficient ability to revise the situation model across modalities.

The extent to which speakers are able to determine the dominant linguistic patterns in their speech community is captured by a temperature-like parameter. This can induce symmetry breaking phase transitions, where communities select one of two or more possible branches in the evolutionary tree of language. We use the model to investigate a grammatical change (the rise of the phrasal possessive) which took place in English and Continental North Germanic languages during the Middle Ages. Competing hypotheses regarding the sequences of precursor changes which allowed this to occur each generate a different structure of inference matrix.

Alongside this global awareness is a surging demand for expertise in sign language documentation, analysis, teaching, and interpretation. As sign languages have been under century-long suppressions due to the abounding misconceptions among both Deaf and hearing people, it is of paramount importance to nurture Deaf professionals in sign language linguistics and applied linguistics to ensure that the campaigns for sign language promotion are geared in directions that can truly benefit the Deaf communities. Nonetheless, Deaf people worldwide, particularly in developing countries, face the problem of low academic attainments which bar them from receiving tertiary education in sign language-related fields. One possible solution is to establish a bridging program at the postsecondary level to equip potentially Deaf individuals with foundational training in sign linguistics which allows them to further tertiary education and engage in local sign language promotional works. With this goal in mind, the Centre for Sign Linguistics and Deaf Studies (CSLDS) at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) set up the Asia-Pacific Sign Linguistics Research and Training Program (the APSL Program) with funding from the Nippon Foundation in 2003. Since its inception, the APSL Program has gone through several phases of development.

Most of them are native speakers of Yunnan dialect of Chinese and migrated from Yunnan, China. They have become Thai citizens and also speak Thai fluently. Today it has been observed that Mandarin seems to play the most important role in the business of Lat Krabang. Therefore, this study aims to investigate what language (Thai, Mandarin and Yunnan dialect) is chosen for communication in the family, friendship, neighborhood, school, work and market domains and to interpret the degree of awareness of Mandarin and the maintenance of Yunnan dialect among Yunnan Chinese who live in Lat Krabang. The data was collected from observation, semi-structured interviews and questionnaires about language choice in various domains and language proficiency self-evaluation. The results of the study show that Thai is the most preferred language in friendship, school and market domains; Yunnan dialect is used most in family and neighborhood domain; and Mandarin is used most in work domain. As for the use of Mandarin, its use is increasing from the old to the young generations. In addition, the young generations, who tend to take Mandarin courses, have a higher Mandarin ability than old generations. It may imply that Chinese Thais in Lat Krabang have a strong awareness of Mandarin. With regard to the maintenance of Yunnan dialect, the youngest generation still use it a lot in family domain, and almost half of them have the excellent level of Yunnan dialect capability.

Whether in these enhanced chiefdoms or in larger courts like those of Java or Burma, ceremonial life was “an assertion of spiritual power.” In this performance of power, women were indispensable, usually in supporting roles but at times as directors and lead actors. Notwithstanding regional differences in language, culture, and historical experience, “palace women” across Southeast Asia can be considered in terms of the enactment of royal status, which, by separating a ruler from his subjects, justified and maintained the rationale on which kingship rested.

Specifi cally, I explore how death manifests itself in aff ects and practices that may lessen the injury of loss and strengthen the commitment to live in contexts of uncertainty and pain. My goal is to show how death-in-life is not a morbid manifestation that is somehow opposed to life, but rather a vital experience that provides a basis for life’s meaningful unfolding, even generating hope for a future. However, as this future is expressed through loss, doubt is also cast upon any possibility of its coming to pass. I focus on this tension and try to capture the sense in which it shapes the eff orts of kin to protect and care for one another—to hold on to the possibility of life—but with the knowledge that there is no assurance that their eff orts will succeed.For me these are not issues concerning the moral or psychological foundations of certain behaviors. Rather, I am concerned with understanding the existential situations of people as they struggle to live in a world in which loss is deeply rooted in the rhythms of history and the everyday. There is an enormous literature on death and the experience of loss. My own thinking about these matters is infl uenced by theories of melancholy that point to sources beyond individual consciousness and that develop melancholy’s potential for understanding personal loss within the context of a larger history already laden with it.1 The experience of loss is thus encumbered with a variety of implications, meanings, and temporalities. I seek to unfold and disclose loss as a way of inhabiting the world and as a condition connecting past and future.

This is probably due to the fact that its implications for the analysis of semiotic phenomena in everyday life are not readily apparent to everyone. However, Bakhtin’s work in this area has drawn the attention of a relatively small group of linguistic anthropologists and sociolinguists who saw the potential of this construct and who offered a variety of interpretations of the significance of Bakhtin’s ideas about the chronotope for the analysis of sociolinguistic phenomena, pointing to possible venues of development (see Agha, 2007; Blommaert, 2015; Blommaert & De Fina, 2017; Dick, 2010; Lempert & Perrino, 2007; Perrino, 2007; Woolard, 2013).

Data was taken from a sample of programs broadcast by radio stations in the ten asean countries. The results show that Singapore ranks the highest in using English in broadcasting (50% of all the programs), while Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Vietnam rank the lowest in using English (0%) but highest in using their national languages (100%). Code-switching between the countries’ national languages and English is found in five countries listed from highest to lowest as: the Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia and Thailand.

At the same time, it may also stimulate engaging and enlightening dialogues between distinct cultures, because, in spite of, the many differences, the overall history of the area is that of harmony and interaction, not of continuous discordance and conflict. Besides most of these countries have been former colonies of developed countries. This brings in issues of the influence of a dominant culture and language, the pattern of resource distribution among linguistic and cultural groups, the role and choice of language in education, etc. In this scenario, it is of great importance to throw light on the nature of communication as well as areas of conflict in this region. In this seminar, we wish to throw light on these issues with a focus on language and linguistic diversity. We bring together scholars from South and Southeast Asia working on language, communication and conflict for a productive interaction on related issues. Through the lectures and discussions on the given issue, we may get a clear understanding of the root of the problems in this area and the best possible ways of handling them.}, keywords = {Aditi Ghosh}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } @book{Deumert2019, title = {Dynamics of Cape Dutch}, author = {Ana Deumert}, year = {2019}, date = {2019-11-06}, publisher = {Benjamins}, abstract = {Language Standardization and Language Change describes the formation of an early standard norm at the Cape around 1900.

Rather than being an obscure technical-economic notion, it has become a popular and popularised topic for analysing political, economic, and cultural aspects of national and continental development. In this paper, we outline the important role that China has played in the globalisation of investment in Africa, and argue that China has, indeed, created a paradigm shift with respect to its investment engagement with the African continent. This paradigm shift can be calibrated in terms of the volume of engagement; in terms of the speed and efficiency with which investment projects are completed; and, in terms of the very discourse of trade and investment. The argument is further advanced by discussing some of the main features of Chinese investment that distinguish it from that of other global players on the African continent, such as Europe and India.

To tease apart the layers of causality that converge upon this particular sociolinguistic pattern, we consider archaeological, ethnological, sociolinguistic and genetic lines of evidence. We propose that any partial diffusion of in-law avoidance practices has been complemented by a complex of sociocultural factors motivating the emergence of this pattern at different times and places across the African continent.

Well-established cross-linguistic evidence shows that children are more accurate in the comprehension of subject-extracted relative clauses in comparison to the object-extracted counterpart. Children with reading difficulties are known to perform less accurately on object relatives at the group level compared to typically developing children. Given that children’s performance on reading tasks is shown to shape as a continuum, in the current study we attempted to use reading skills as a continuous variable to predict performance on relative clauses.Methods We examined the comprehension of relative clauses in a group of 30 English children (7–11 years) with varying levels of reading skills. Reading skills varied on a large spectrum, from poor readers to very skilled readers, as assessed by the YARC standardized test. The experimental task consisted of a picture-matching task. Children were presented with subject and object relative clauses and they were asked to choose one picture - out of four - that would best represent the sentence they heard. At the same time, we manipulated whether the subject and object nouns were either matching (both singular or both plural) or mismatching (one singular, the other plural) in number.ResultsOur analysis of accuracy shows that subject relatives were comprehended more accurately overall than object relatives, that responses to sentences with noun phrases mismatching in number were more accurate overall than the ones with matching noun phrases and that performance improved as a function of reading skills. Within the match subset, while the difference in accuracy between subject and object relatives is large in poor readers, the difference is reduced with better reading skills, almost disappearing in very skilled readers.DiscussionBeside replicating the well-established findings on the subject-object asymmetry, number facilitation in the comprehension of relative clauses, and a better overall performance by skilled readers, these results indicate that strong reading skills may determine a reduction of the processing difficulty associated with the hardest object relative clause condition (i.e., match), causing a reduction of the subject-object asymmetry.}, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Essegbey2019c, title = {Routine Activities}, author = {James Essegbey}, doi = {10.1163/9789004396999_011}, isbn = {9789004396999}, year = {2019}, date = {2019-07-02}, urldate = {2019-07-02}, pages = {319–365}, publisher = {Brill}, chapter = {10}, abstract = {Many communicative practices found in a given speech community remain undocumented and unreconstructable.

Present-day humans outside Africa descend mainly from a single expansion out ∼50,000–70,000 years ago, but many details of this expansion remain unclear, including the history of the male-specific Y chromosome at this time. Here, we reinvestigate a rare deep-rooting African Y-chromosomal lineage by sequencing the whole genomes of three Nigerian men described in 2003 as carrying haplogroup DE* Y chromosomes, and analyzing them in the context of a calibrated worldwide Y-chromosomal phylogeny. We confirm that these three chromosomes do represent a deep-rooting DE lineage, branching close to the DE bifurcation, but place them on the D branch as an outgroup to all other known D chromosomes, and designate the new lineage D0. We consider three models for the expansion of Y lineages out of Africa ∼50,000–100,000 years ago, incorporating migration back to Africa where necessary to explain present-day Y-lineage distributions. Considering both the Y-chromosomal phylogenetic structure incorporating the D0 lineage, and published evidence for modern humans outside Africa, the most favored model involves an origin of the DE lineage within Africa with D0 and E remaining there, and migration out of the three lineages (C, D, and FT) that now form the vast majority of non-African Y chromosomes. The exit took place 50,300–81,000 years ago (latest date for FT lineage expansion outside Africa – earliest date for the D/D0 lineage split inside Africa), and most likely 50,300–59,400 years ago (considering Neanderthal admixture).

We examine how children's drawings represent language regimes in the social spaces they inhabit. Considering these drawings in relation to ethnographic observations and interviews with educators, we illustrate differences between how the social spaces are planned by educators and how they are represented and experienced by learners. Generally speaking, the children in our studies depict flexible, multilingual experiences and spaces, in contrast to the educators’ agendas of separating or emphasizing languages for pedagogical purposes. Mexican children's perception of themselves as participants in fluid language regimes, and Austrian children's increasing appropriation of multilingual space over time through both (school‐like) routines and (fun) exceptions can inform the efforts of minority language educators.

Persons with aphasia (PWA) experience greater penalties in garden path sentences compared to language-unimpaired adults but the origin of this deficit remains a controversial issue. One of the possible deficits has been claimed to be disambiguation of lexical cues in the sentence. However, in languages such as English with little morphological variation this connection is hard to establish. To test this hypothesis we used garden path sentences in a morphologically rich language, Greek, where morphological cues may resolve garden path at the lexical level. We further tested whether domain-general attentional control abilities and in particular shifts in attentional control predict garden path resolution in PWA and age- and education-matched controls. Aims: This study aimed to determine whether PWA were able to integrate disambiguating morphological (Case) cues while processing garden path sentences. In addition, we tested whether domain-general attentional control and in particular attentional shift from global to local and local to global information (as defined by) correlates directly with garden path resolution in PWA and healthy controls. Methods & Procedures: Fifteen participants with non-fluent/agrammatic aphasia along with fifteen age- and education-matched language-unimpaired adults performed an online self-paced reading and grammaticality judgment task that included object/subject ambiguous sentences. Syntactic ambiguity was created by the optional transitivity of verbs, while the garden path effect was resolved by morphological Case. The individuals’ executive attention skills were tested through an online non-verbal global-local attention shifting task that measured costs stemming from shifting attention from the global to the local level, and vice versa. Outcomes & Results: PWA were slower and more erroneous than controls in integrating Case cues to disambiguate garden path sentences as manifested in the self-paced reading and grammaticality judgment task. In the global local task, PWA exhibited greater global-to-local (vs. local-to-global) attention shifting costs, while controls did not exhibit dissociation. In the regression analysis, garden path resolution in PWA was significantly predicted by global-to-local attention shifting costs, while controls’ garden path resolution was significantly predicted by local-to-global attention shift costs. Conclusions: The present study showed for the first time that morphological cues can shed light in sentence comprehension deficits exhibited by PWA.

His films recurrently depict foreign characters at which Wilder pokes fun whether they are English, French, German, Italian, Russian or even the Americans of his adopted country.

Bilingualism in typically-developing (TD) children has been linked to enhanced Theory of Mind (ToM) performance, specifically for false-belief attribution [1,2]. This ToM advantage has been related to improved executive functions (EFs) in bilinguals [2,3], such as inhibition or set-shifting skills [4]. The ToM advantage in bilinguals has also been attributed to enhanced metalinguistic awareness [5], e.g. bilinguals’ ability to reflect on meaning and form. Children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI), aside from their formal language delays, exhibit difficulties in all the aforementioned areas, namely metalinguistic awareness [6], EFs [7] (although see [8]), and ToM [9]. Delays in ToM may nevertheless be attenuated in tasks which minimize verbal demands [10]. The goals of the present study are to investigate possible effects of bilingualism (a) on verbal and non-verbal ToM and (b) on thelinks between ToM, EF and metalinguistic awareness in children with SLI. Method. Participants included 16 bilingual children with SLI (henceforth, SLIbi) (Mean age: 10;4), and age-matched monolingual children with SLI (SLImono),monolingual and bilingual TD children (TDmono, TDbi). Children were given language proficiency measures(vocabulary, sentence repetition, syntactic comprehension), a word definition task as a metalinguistic awareness measure (WISC-III; [11]), a non-verbal EF battery (mixed global-local attention shifting & inhibition task, 2-back working memory task), and a ToM battery including tasks of varying complexity, in both verbal (first-order Unexpected Content & Transfer, second-order adapted from [12]) and non-verbal forms (adapted from [13]). Results. SLImono and SLIbi children scored lower than TD children in all language measures (p<.001). SLImono children’s shifting cost in the local trials of the global-local task was larger than the rest of the groups (p<.001). In the 2-back task, SLImono children were less accurate than TDmono children (p=.05). In the verbal ToM tasks, SLImono children scored lower than SLIbi and TDmono groups in second-order ToM tasks (p<.05). In the nonverbal, first-order ToM task, SLIbi children were faster and more accurate than SLImono children on false-belief attribution (p<.02). Correlations between task performances revealed that first- and second-order verbal ToM correlated with first-order non-verbal ToM performance only for SLIbi children (p<.001). Also, metalinguistic awareness for the SLImono group correlated with Unexpected Content and Unexpected Transfer (p=.001), i.e. first order ToM, but not with second-order ToM, while for the SLIbi group (and TD children) metalinguistic performance only correlated with second-order ToM (p<.001). Finally, non-verbal ToM performance for SLImono children correlated with both EF tasks (p<.05), while non-verbal ToM performance correlated with the 2-back task for the rest of the groups (p<.04) (see Table 1). Discussion. SLIbi and TDbi children had higher accuracy scores than SLImono children in the second-order verbal ToM and the non-verbal ToM task, as well as a lower shifting cost in the global-local task, thus, implying bilingual advantages at both the verbal and the non-verbal level of ToM and EF. Finally, findings show reliable interactions between false-belief performance and working memory for SLIbi, TDmono and TDbi children, in line with previous studies on the interaction between ToM and working memory in typical development [14].

We argue that the constructions of political narratives in Turkey (and by implication in other similar settings) derive from two interrelated aspects of the spatio-temporal hierarchies of (colonial) modernity: structural insecurity and temporal insecurity. Modern Turkey’s ontological insecurity was constructed spatially, on the one hand, as liminality and structural in-betweenness, and temporally, on the other, as lagging behind the modernization of the West. After discussing how Kemalism offered to deal with such insecurities in the twentieth century, we analyse the Justice and Development Party (AKP) period of the twenty-first century as an alternative attempted answer to these problems and explain why efforts to dismantle the Kemalist framework collapsed into its populist mirror image. The example of the Turkish case underlines the importance of focusing on the different ways in which the structural and temporal insecurities of ‘the non-Western self’ take shape at a given point and manner of entry into the modern international order. }, keywords = {Ayse Zarakol}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Theodoropoulou2019b, title = {Semioscaping Eutopia: Qatar as a place in Qatar Airways advertisements}, author = {Eirini Theodoropoulou}, doi = {10.1558/sols.36168}, year = {2019}, date = {2019-04-13}, journal = {Sociolinguistic Studies}, volume = {13}, number = {1}, pages = {57-82 }, abstract = {This paper deals with place branding as a multimodally constructed phenomenon in the digital semioscape of advertisements pertaining to the collaboration between Qatar Airways and FC Barcelona.

In this way, Qatar aims at engaging in controversially conveyed soft politics, whereby it can strategically secure its national sustainability by achieving recognizability, admiration and respect both inside and outside its borders. Qatar Airways’ semioscape is also argued to be a visceral semioscape, whose analysis creates academic fetish, namely added value for Qatar in academic scholarship from a person who has been living and working in the country for nine years.

The key notion of hospitality developed here is examined as practices rather than as identities. I argue that this theoretical shift makes it possible to unsettle the host and guest positions by not positing them a priori or conceptualizing them as immutable. It likewise makes it possible to deconstruct the categories imposed by the State and by which scholars and policy makers alike abide, such as the dichotomy between migrants and locals . At a broader level, the paper draws attention to the Occidentalism that has plagued academia, particularly in the work done on migration.

Methodology A sentence repetition task (SRT) in Greek with eight structures (Subject Verb Object [SVO], negative clauses, clitic structures, complement clauses, coordinated sentences, adverbial clauses, wh-questions and relative clauses) was employed. All bilinguals additionally participated in a standardized expressive vocabulary task in Greek to measure their lexical ability. Data Sixty 8–10-year-old children (20 monolingual, 20 simultaneous and 20 late sequential bilinguals) were tested. Findings The analysis showed that (a) monolinguals outperform sequential bilinguals in sentence repetition, (b) clitic structures are highly problematic for all participants, (c) vocabulary and syntactic skills are closely related for simultaneous but not for sequential bilinguals, (d) home language practices in the early years affect SRT performance and (e) sequential bilinguals benefit from literacy practices that support syntactic skills in the language tested. Overall, we found that the effect of input overrides the effect of a traditionally categorical factor in bilingualism: age of onset (AoO) of exposure to L2. Originality The contribution of this study includes (a) the examination of syntactic abilities in bilinguals in connection with language input early in life and at the time of testing, (b) the non-pervasive role of age of exposure to the L2 in SRT performance and (c) the role of literacy measures as key factors affecting syntactic skills in bilinguals. Implications Quality of input and literacy in particular have been shown to affect bilingual syntactic skills, suggesting that enhancing literacy exposure as a language policy for bilinguals has a significantly positive impact on language development. }, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Fina2019bb, title = {Chronotopic Identities: The South in the Narratives Told by Members of Mapuche Communities in Chile}, author = {Anna De Fina and Maria Eugenia Merino Dickinson}, doi = {10.4324/9781351183383-2}, isbn = {978-0-8153-9568-3}, year = {2019}, date = {2019-01-17}, journal = {Discourses of identity in liminal places and spaces}, volume = {15}, publisher = {Routledge}, abstract = {In this chapter we focus on the centrality of what we will call “the chronotope of the south” in the discourse of members of Mapuche families who have been displaced or have migrated from their places of origin in the Southern parts of Chile to the capital: Santiago.

This paper adopts a corpus linguistic approach that fully utilizes the abundant resources of historical materials, i.e., the Scripta Sinica constructed by the Academia Sinica, Taiwan, with a focus on the Chinese ideophone mangmangand its related variants.

This allows us to compare the activation encoded by referring expressions across languages and groups of speakers, and to run correlational analyses with the speakers’ cognitive profiles. In particular, the study addresses the correlation between activation and lexical processing among bilinguals, based on the distribution of referring expressions in narratives by 20 German-Greek bilingual children, compared to their monolingual peers. We found that bilingual pronouns correspond to a lower activation than monolingual ones. Speed of lexical retrieval is a predictor of the bilingual performance.

In pretend-play speakers assign roles and make use of props (e.g., I'm the daddy and this is my baby [holding teddy-bear]; Fill up my cup [holding out a block]; This is my sword [waving paper roll]). In short, pretend play typically involves re-categorization – viewing participants and objects in new roles. This in turn requires that children extend their uses of conventional terms in talk.

In addition, the distribution of VOT in low register onsets is bimodal, realized either with strong closure voicing or greater VOT than voiceless stops. Interestingly, f0, F1 and voice quality cues are not enhanced after devoiced low-register stops, but instead are more pronounced after stops realized with closure voicing.

CSB—thanks to its geographical position—participated in numerous areally-based changes that define the Balkan Sprachbund , an area where long-term intense contact amongst speakers of several different languages has resulted in substantial structural convergence (see Joseph 1999). Importantly, CSB, along with Macedonian with which it combines to form the Eastern branch of the South Slavic languages, has several characteristics which set it apart from other Slavic languages, namely the elimination of a nominal case system, the lack of an infinitive, and the development of a definite article. The aim of this paper is to show that the definite article in CSB evolved as a result of both internal (see Dimitrova-Vulchanova & Vulchanov 2009) and external triggers (see Mladenova 2007), namely under pressure from both Romanian and Greek, which led to the gra mmaticalization of the Old Church Slavonic demonstrative pronoun into a definite article. It has often been portrayed in the literature surrounding the Balkan Sprachbund that Greek, although it displays overt definite markers, could not have contributed a postpositive article to the Balkan feature pool (see Lindstedt 2014) given that definite articles are prepositive. Contrary to this view, we highlight a previously undiscussed dimension of complexity in the formation of the definite article in CSB, namely how Greek deter miner spreading could have partially contributed towards the emergence of a postpositive definite article in CSB. Such contact, coupled with adstrate pressures from the north, namely from Romanian, may well have exacerbated an otherwise internal development.}, keywords = {Ioanna Sitaridou}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Ghosh2019c, title = {Nationalism as a Threat to Multilingualism}, author = {Aditi Ghosh}, editor = {Abhijit Majumdar}, issn = {2319-6165}, year = {2019}, date = {2019-01-01}, pages = {53 - 71}, abstract = {Amidst the worldwide concern for loss of multilingualism and increasing number of endangered languages, this paper tries to look at one of the most dominant ideology in today’s world, i.e., Nationalism and its effect on Multilingualism.

First, I argue that contrary to what was often assumed in the recognition literature, social hierarchies (as in the Hegelian master–slave dynamic) are very stable. Though social hierarchies are relationships of misrecognition, they nevertheless allow for the simulation of recognition for ‘the master’, and also trap ‘the slave’ in that role through stigmatisation. Second, I make a historical argument about the state and its role in recognition struggles. The modern state is relatively unique (historically speaking) in being tasked with solving the recognition problems of its citizens. At the same time, the modern state has to derive its own sovereignty from the recognition of those same citizens. There is an inherent tension between these two facts, which forces the modern state to turn increasingly outward for its own recognition. This is why ‘the master–slave dynamic’ was increasingly projected onto the international stage from nineteenth century onwards (along with the diffusion of the modern state model). As a result, international recognition came to play an even larger role in state sovereignty than domestic recognition (in contrast to common historical practice). This also explains how and why social hierarchies came to dominate international politics around the same time as the norm of sovereign equality.}, keywords = {Ayse Zarakol}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Kirby2018, title = {Effects of obstruent voicing on vowel F0: Implications for laryngeal realism}, author = {James Kirby and D.

A crucial assumption of this position is that the presence of certain contextually stable phonetic cues, namely voicing lead or lag, can be used to diagnose the which feature is phono-logically active. In this paper, we present data on obstruent-intrinsic F0 perturbations (CF0) in two [voice] languages, French and Italian. Voiceless obstruents in both languages are found to raise F0, while F0 following (pre)voiced obstruents patterns together with sonorants, similar to the voiceless unaspirated stops of [spread glottis] languages like German and English. The contextual stability of this cue implies that an active de-voicing gesture is common to languages of both the [voice] and [spread glottis] types, and undermines the idea that a strict binary dichotomy between true voicing and aspirating languages can be reliably inferred based on properties of the surface phonetics. }, keywords = {James Kirby}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @conference{Bodomo2018, title = {A Constraint-Based Analysis of the Objects of VO Compounds in Mandarin Chinese}, author = {Adams Bodomo and Dewei Che}, editor = {Miriam Butt and Tracy Holloway King}, year = {2018}, date = {2018-12-01}, booktitle = {A Constraint-Based Analysis of the Objects of VO Verbal Compounds in Mandarin Chinese}, pages = {171–190}, publisher = {CSLI Publications}, abstract = {VO verbal compounds (VOCs) have become a topical issue within studies on wordhood and the syntax-semantics interface.

Aspirated stops in general condition higher f0 on the following vowel, but this effect is mediated by tonal and sentential context: it is more prominent in citation forms than in connected speech, and for the tone languages, it is more visible with higher as opposed to lower tones. Examination of individual differences suggests that speakers may differ systematically in terms of their laryngeal adjustments for expressing voicelessness even while maintaining similar timing relations as indicated by VOT.

Discursive Illusions in Public Discourse: Theory and practice intensively explores the discourse of illusion within multifarious dimensions of contemporary public discourses, such as: •      Political Voices in Terrorism •     Activist Voices in New Media •      Corporate Voices in Climate Change This book will particularly appeal to researchers working within the field of discourse analysis, and more generally for students of postgraduate research and specialists in the field of language, linguistics, and media. The book can also be used as a guide for non-specialists in better understanding the complexities of public discourses, and how they shape society’s perceptions of some key social and political issues.}, keywords = {Aditi Bhatia}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {book} } @article{Tang2018b, title = {Corrigendum: Acquisition of Classifier Constructions in HKSL by Bimodal Bilingual Deaf Children of Hearing Parents}, author = {Gladys Tang and Jia Li}, doi = {10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01637}, year = {2018}, date = {2018-09-19}, journal = {Frontiers in Psychology}, volume = {9}, abstract = {In the original article, we neglected to include the funder CUHK-Faculty of Arts, The Publication Subvention Fund to Gladys WL Tang.

Participants were pre-schoolers with typical language development (TD) and children with SLI. Subjects produced real verb (RV) and pseudo-verb (PV) in sentence completion tasks. Results indicated that morphophonological properties of past tense formation affected SLI but not TD performance.

The article contextualizes the prevalence of “hate speech” in online Greek Cypriot comments against LGBT individuals, and, more generally, against non-heterosexuals. Adopting a Foucauldian position vis-à-vis the social and discursive construction of sexuality, we outline, first, the socio-historical context (Fairclough 1989, 2003) with a focus on LGBT rights in the Republic of Cyprus and the nationalistic project construing sexualities. We then examine the different levels of discursive discrimination practices, providing a snapshot of the types of “hate speech” referring to this topic typically found in such an environment. The focus is on identification of the frames used to construct LGBT identities, and their perception. We use in our title the word subject as defined by post-modernists and by Butler in particular (2009 : iii): subject refers to “a socially produced ‘agent’ and ‘deliberator’ whose agency and thought is made possible by a language that precedes that ‘I’. In this sense the ‘I’ is produced through power. This paper focuses on the socially produced definition of the LGBT community in the context under study. We thus address the way in which sexuality is constructed within a compulsory and hegemonic heterosexuality and heteronormativity. We analyze our data i.e. comments focused on the LGBT community, with corpus linguistic tools (Baker et al. 2008; Brindle 2016) as well as through a qualitative examination of the identified frames. Our analysis confirms an interface between nationalism and compulsory hegemonic heteronormativity in the Republic as well as the influence of the Orthodox Church and its beliefs (Kamenou 2011a, 2011b, 2016).}, keywords = {Fabienne Baider}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Baider2018bb, title = {Narrating hostility, challenging hostile narratives}, author = {Fabienne Baider and Monika Kopytowska}, doi = {10.1515/lpp-2018-0001}, year = {2018}, date = {2018-06-26}, journal = {Lodz Papers in Pragmatics}, volume = {14}, number = {1}, pages = {1-24}, abstract = {Lodz Papers in Pragmatics (LPP) is an international journal committed to publishing excellent theoretical and empirical research in the area of pragmatics and related disciplines focused on human communication, both in everyday interactions and in the media, whether spoken or written, and whether institutional or interpersonal.

The second and third, Type M and Type S errors, measure the extent to which estimates of the magnitude and direction of an effect are inaccurate. We then provide an example of design analysis (Gelman & Carlin, 2014), using data from an experimental study on German incomplete neutralization, to illustrate how power, magnitude, and sign errors vary with sample and effect size. This case study shows how the informativity of research findings can vary substantially in ways that are not always, or even usually, apparent on the basis of a p-value alone.

To compensate, learners may rely on lexical-semantic processing or the non-dominant hemisphere. To investigate these scaffolding effects, this study combined divided visual-field (VF) and Event-Related Potential (ERP) techniques to assess L2 learners’ brain responses across the left and right hemispheres (LH and RH). Participants judged the grammaticality of Chinese two-word phrases starting with a classifier. Our data showed that, compared to native speakers, L2 learners were less accurate in grammaticality judgments and elicited qualitatively different brain responses even to correct trials. Replicating our previous findings on left-lateralized structural processing in native speakers, native participants in this present study showed a P600 grammaticality effect with RVF/LH presentation only. L2 learners showed remarkable inter-subject variability in brain responses, and as a consequence, showed no statistically reliable ERP grammaticality effects. However, correlational analysis on individual learners' brain responses and behavioral language performance revealed important correlations. Specifically, better language performance was associated with smaller RVF/LH N400 grammaticality effects and smaller LVF/RH P600 grammaticality effects. Quartile split based on participants' language performance showed striking patterns, showing from bottom quartile to top quartile a gradual shift from an N400 grammaticality effect to a P600 grammaticality effect in the RVF/LH condition, and a P600 grammaticality effect to a later negativity effect in the LVF/RH condition. These results thus highlight the transitional roles of scaffolding mechanisms in language learning and suggest in particular that higher L2 syntactic processing co-occurs with less reliance on lexical-semantic processing in the dominant LH and disengagement of structural analysis from the non-dominant RH.}, keywords = {Chia-Rung Lu}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Theodoropoulou2018b, title = {Expect amazing!

From around 2012, the city security personnel, which has previously mostly turned a blind eye to these structures and activities, suddenly started clamping down on Africans on a regular basis as they became a prominent group of customers on these bridges in downtown Guangzhou—resulting in the sudden disappearance of Africans on these city center bridges and other prominent open door markets.

Despite these limitations, a sociolinguistics of intracontinental African migrations will contribute significantly to a better understanding of the conditions, nature, and periodicity of population contacts and interactional dynamics. It will help explain why geographic mobility entails reshaping sociocultural practices, including the language repertoires of both the migrants and the people they come in contact with.

Those studies mainly focus on gender differences in politeness in speech acts (eg, Le 2010). In Vietnamese, three pronouns (the pair tao-mày ‘I-you’, and the third person, singular nó ‘he/she’) are gendered-neutral and hierarchical. They are normally used among siblings or close friends, but not spouses or couples in romantic relationships. This study is a statistical survey of the usage of these pronouns in intimate relationships among Vietnamese couples. The results show that among independent variables, education and career have a strong statistical significance, and are correlated to both dependent linguistic variables tao-mày ‘I-you’and nó ‘he/she’. Compared to a person with less education, an educated person is significantly more likely not to use these pronouns towards their partner. A person with a white-collar job is significantly more likely not to use these pronouns towards their partners. Other independent variables (gender, age, marriage status and region) are not significant.}, keywords = {Andrea Hoa Pham}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Zuckermann2018, title = {Semitic Languages}, author = {Ghil‘ad Zuckermann and Robert Hetzron and Alan S Kaye}, doi = {10.4324/9781315644936-33}, isbn = {9781315644936}, year = {2018}, date = {2018-04-17}, pages = {564-572}, publisher = {Routledge}, abstract = {Originally limited to the area east of the Mediterranean, the Semitic languages spread into North Africa, southern Europe and the Horn of Africa.

It is divided into two complementary parts. Initially, I focus on the specific terms, idioms and ritual expressions that constitute the linguistic basis for the articulation of thinking and for the social expression of emotions. Among the Rotenese, thinking and the emotions are intimately located within an ‘inner person’. This ‘inner person’ is distinguished from the social semblance that the person presents to the world. Both the inner self and the semblance it presents are associated with specific parts of the body. One of the chief purposes in this section of the chapter is to explore, in some detail, the use of bodily metaphors in the expression of emotions and of thinking. In this analysis, I combine an examination of ordinary language usage with ritual language usage. Ritual language as a formal register highlights key modes of thought and emotion. Although these thoughts and emotions are those spoken of in ordinary language, ritual language gives emphasis to their particular qualities and, because of its formal dyadic structure, it pairs specific forms of thinking and feeling, often grounding them in metaphoric imagery. This is particularly the case in the ritual admonitions that encourage moral behaviour and insist on proper modes of action. In the second part of this chapter, I endeavour to locate the use of such metaphors in their social context. Social context is essential to understanding such linguistic usage. This discussion requires the grounding of thought and emotions in notions of the person and in the ideals and values that are given emphasis in Rotenese society. It also requires consideration of the historical development of Rotenese society, where such ideals and values have served as a motivating force for action. Underlying the expression of the emotions and of thinking among the Rotenese is a specific cultural conception of the person. This conception credits maternal relatives with responsibility for a person’s physical being. Through the gift of a woman, wife-givers become life-givers. In the Rotenese botanic idiom, they are regarded as ‘planting’ (sele) progeny among their wife-takers. These children are explicitly described as ‘plants’ (sele-dadi). A specific ritual relationship is established between the ‘mother’s brother of origin’ (or ‘trunk mother’s brother’: to’o-huk) and the ‘plants’, his sister’s children, whom he tends throughout their life. All the rituals of the life cycle, which he directs, are concerned with promoting the vitality of the physical person and eventually conclude with the rituals of burial and the dispatch of that person. The mother’s brother of origin is duly acknowledged and compensated for his ministration to the physical person to the extent that, were a person to accidentally injure himself by drawing blood, the ‘mother’s brother of origin’ would demand compensation for the injury. This relationship continues for another generation. The ‘grandfather of origin’ (ba’i-huk) retains specific ritual rights over the children of his sister’s children.}, keywords = {James Fox}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Keating2018b, title = {Technologically mediated sociality}, author = {Elizabeth Keating}, doi = {10.4324/9781315388380-7}, isbn = {9781315388380}, year = {2018}, date = {2018-04-07}, urldate = {2018-04-07}, pages = {148-166}, keywords = {Elizabeth Keating}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Tsimpli2018c, title = {Thank you to reviewers (2015–2018)}, author = {Ianthi Tsimpli and Chung hye Han and Björn Köhnlein and Waltraud Paul and Johan Rooryck and Guido Vanden Wyngaerd}, doi = {10.5334/gjgl.665}, year = {2018}, date = {2018-04-05}, urldate = {2018-04-05}, journal = {Journal of general linguistics}, volume = {3}, number = {1}, abstract = {It has now been two years since Glossa went live on 1 April 2016.

Finance scholars have started to develop text analysis approaches to investigate, in particular, market sentiment and its impact on stock prices.

Recent developments in the field, however, dig deeper and are beginning to shed light on the crucial functions of language use in financial communication.

Drawing on aspects of historicity, linguistic and semiotic action, and social impact, the analysis of the data reveals a discursive fracas between a humanistic perspective on the crisis that exploits a banal understanding of the American Dream and a more dichotomous narrative that homogenises refugees as a threat to the American way of life.

I was also politically interested in infrastructures as they were a privileged arena of social engineering in pre-Olympics Athens where I was growing up. Then for my PhD I wanted to study infrastructures as State-run projects, and Albania was the ideal place for this as it was the very first country in Europe to get a national highway system from the 1920s, firstly organised by the Italian Fascist Regime as an international development project, and then by the Communist Party that had the typical infrastructural fetishism of socialist regimes. The only problem was that very few people were using these roads, as the first private vehicles were only allowed in 1991 and there were travelling restrictions for periods in Albania. So in Albania there was the best material infrastructure one could imagine if you wanted to study infrastructures as a State ideological project, with miles after miles of hardly-used highway system in terms of mobility, but heavily used for social engineering purposes. Following looking at infrastructure as a purely State-run project, in Crisis-scapes I was studying infrastructures in south East Europe as Public-Private Partnership projects. In that case Greece was ideal as we had seen all three stages of the neoliberal circle in full flare, namely the privatisation of public infrastructures, the creative destruction and the creation of new ones under the PPP regime, and then the bust and the crisis where infrastructures are contested, and the same spaces that reflected the boom a few years ago became the sites per se of this contestation. A few months ago I started my third project infra-demos which is studying infrastructures and commons and their post-capitalist potentials.}, type = {Research}, keywords = {Dimitris Dalakoglou}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {phdthesis} } @article{Costa2018, title = {Affordances-in-practice: An ethnographic critique of social media logic and context collapse}, author = {Elisabetta Costa}, doi = {10.1177/1461444818756290}, year = {2018}, date = {2018-02-19}, urldate = {2018-02-19}, journal = {New Media & Society}, abstract = {Drawing on data gathered during ethnographic fieldwork in Mardin, a medium-sized town in southeast Turkey, this article shows that social media users actively appropriate online platforms and change privacy settings in order to keep different social spheres and social groups apart.

A laid-back and unassuming place in modern days, relatively hard to reach from anywhere but the Saurashtra peninsula above it (or Mumbai, from which there are now a few flights), most visitors will feel that it establishes a relationship of continuity with the surrounding state of Gujarat as much as it stands apart from it, and may be surprised to encounter a built heritage of a grandeur that seems at odds with its present quietness. While its Portuguese colonial past, which lasted from 1535 to December 1961, may be partly responsible for its specificity, the truth is that Diu was an especially dynamic place long before that. In fact, the historical centrality of Diu is largely unknown and rarely acknowledged, and the particular characteristics of the territory, of its inhabitants, and their culture are very much neglected. As a contribution towards redressing this obscurity, the international congress, Diu and the Diuese: Multidisciplinary Perspectives, was held in Lisbon in October 2016.1 A selection of the papers presented on that occasion constitutes the contents of this special issue. The objectives of this congress were to locate Diu in broader geographies of research, going beyond its current peripherality to observe this territory not only as a player in former Portuguese colonial networks in Asia, but also in much wider networks of circulation. Granted, in such an endeavour, one must unavoidably approach Diu as a part of former Portuguese India and interpret its fortunes in connection with the strategies of empire in the Indian subcontinent and East Africa. But a highly relevant fact is that, in the sixteenth century, the urgency of the Portuguese in controlling the island derived from the fact that it was already one of the leading ports of western India, with a crucial role in the western Indian Ocean routes that linked East Africa, the Persian Gulf, and the Indian subcontinent. For centuries, dynamic trade transformed Diu town into a cosmopolitan settlement and brought in diverse communities, art forms, languages, cultures, and knowledge, the signs of which are still visible despite its decline as a bustling port city. The congress, and therefore this special issue, were intended to be diverse. Participants encountered Diu and its people in different periods of time, met them in different geographies, read them in different sources, and interpreted them through the lenses of different academic disciplines. One of the key aspects of the conceptualization of the congress is revealed in its title and repeated in that of this special issue: ‘Diu and the Diuese’. Approaching Diu as a place plus its inhabitants, in the present as in the past, opens up interdisciplinary dialogues that are crucial to revisit and reinvent research fields. In the case of Diu, it enables us to engage with the stories that are kept alive in the memories of its inhabitants, to acknowledge the considerable impact of intense migratory fluxes to and from Diu, enmeshing colonial and post-colonial dichotomies, and to understand the transportation and transformation of cultural, religious, and linguistic practices. As a result of the interdisciplinary gesture that underlay the congress, then, the contributions in this volume represent a variety of disciplines, chiefly anthropology, ethnomusicology, linguistics, and literature – though they exclude papers from the strict domain of history, which will feature in a separate publication. As we see it, the wealth of historical, artistic, and social complexities that they unveil stands as an illustration of the need to pay more attention to places, populations, and contexts seen as marginal or secondary. However, precisely because Diu has been in that position and, as such, may be relatively uncharted territory for many, we should start with a brief introduction of the place and its people, and of the extent to which the humanities and social sciences have engaged with them.}, keywords = {Hugo Cardoso}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Theodoropoulou2018bb, title = {Ethnographing Gender Roles and Power in Intercultural Communication in Qatar}, author = {Eirini Theodoropoulou and Iglal Ahmed}, doi = {10.1080/21534764.2018.1533697}, year = {2018}, date = {2018-01-02}, journal = {Journal of Arabian Studies}, volume = {8}, number = {1}, pages = {141-160}, abstract = {This ethnographic study examines how gender roles associated with male and female Qatari students in intercultural communication courses in a university in Qatar are negotiated between them and their two female instructors from the US and Greece.

By the late 19th century, the view that sleep was necessary for good health, and that noise interfered with sleep, was well established. The changing soundscape of Singapore in the early 20th century led to increasing middle class demands for government action to limit urban noise, although these were largely ineffective.

Nornes (1999) was the first to suggest that the “time is right” for abusive subtitling. Since then, a number of scholars have discussed the use of pop-up glosses, in the main captioned verbal glosses, to be added to the subtitles. However, even though these ideas are no different from those used by fansubbers and by a number of film and TV directors, the subtitling profession is still extremely unwilling to take these ideas on board. Indeed, it is the “control of the industry [that] keeps a firm lid on the potential spread of innovative subtitling” (Pérez-González 2012: 13). In this particular experiment, a short UK comedy TV sketch was transcreated into Italian using speech bubbles, thought balloons and visual pop-up glosses with the aim of not only reproducing the comedic effect but also of allowing the target audience to access at least some of the culture-bound associations available to the source audience. In particular, the experiment was designed to test the hypothesis that the use of thought balloons will actually help the viewer access the speaker’s culture-bound model of the world.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {David Katan}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Baider2018bb, title = {Elsewhere and elsewhere: linguistic markers of textual "rupture" or markers of argumentative continuation?}, author = {Fabienne Baider}, doi = {10.1051/shsconf/20184601006}, year = {2018}, date = {2018-01-01}, journal = {SHS Web of Conferences}, volume = {46}, number = {4}, pages = {01006}, abstract = {In this article, we study in a contrasting way the expressions from elsewhere and elsewhere in oral and written data.

This work takes these observations and compares them to the results obtained on written corpus and interviews of everyday conversation. In addition, one wonders about the functions of elsewhere in these new data since this phrase is described in a very similar way in lexicographical documents. We bring new proposals relating to the discursive functions of these two adverbial expressions, in particular the more frequent presence of elsewhere in the written discourse and a thematic and argumentative breaking function clearer than those proposed for elsewhere.

Our results show that the L1 Spanish speakers were more comparable than the L1 Japanese speakers to the native English speakers in the phonological aspect of intonation (choice of pitch accent contour).

In order to gather data for this analysis, thirty Chinese students and thirty Lao students took part in a composition writing and dictation exercise. A group of Thai students was also involved in the study as a basic group for comparison. The results suggest that the main spelling problem for Chinese students is spelling Thai vowels,whereas Lao students tend to misspell more Thai initial consonants. For Chinese students, the complexity of the Thai writing system and the interference from Chinese phonology are found to be the main causes of their spelling errors. As for the Lao students, apart from a few idiosyncratic errors, most of the errors are found to result from complexity of the Thai writing system, interference from Lao phonology, and differences between the Lao and Thai writing systems.

On the theoretical and methodological level, it looks at the constituted and constitutive nature of metaphorical conceptualisations of migrants/refugees, their axiological and emotional potential for threat construction, and thus impact on possible cognitive-affective attitudes of the host countries’ citizens. It is theorized here, in line with Conceptual Metaphor Theory, that the choices of particular metaphors and their frequency of usage are likely to influence the salience of issues among the public, activate certain moral evaluations and generate fear, thereby creating grounds for verbal and physical aggression targeted at the Other.

The concurrence of two phonetic processes in the Baṭḥari phonetic system, namely pharyngealization and glottalization, will be explored in detail.

The close relationship between these languages, seen more as a continuum of close linguistic varieties, provides reasons for us to rather consider them as more or less dialects of a single mega language instead of different languages on their own, for most practical purposes, though not all of these language varieties are mutually intelligible. Based on the consonantal and vocalic systems of the language varieties studied, along with other linguistic affinities, we propose a set of uniform graphemes that could be adopted by researchers working on these language varieties for the sake of uniformity, coherence, and consistency. The set of proposed graphemes serves as basis for a future project on developing a harmonized, common language keyboard and other kinds of writing technologies for the Mabia languages.

Narratives have been extensively used as a tool to examine lexical and syntactic abilities, as well as pragmatic skills in children with ASD. This study contributes to this literature by investigating the narrative skills of 30 Greek-speaking children with ASD and normal non-verbal IQ, 16 with language skills in the upper end of the normal range (ASD-HL), and 14 in the lower end of the normal range (ASD-LL). The control group consisted of 15 age-matched typically-developing (TD) children. Narrative performance was measured in terms of both microstructural and macrostructural properties.

The present work takes the phenomenon of consonant epenthesis as a case study for comparing these two perspectives, showing that the range of consonants which are chosen for insertion cross-linguistically cannot be accounted for in terms of markedness. Specifically, here we focus on the empirical and theory-internal problems which arise for markedness-based accounts of consonant epenthesis. We provide an extensive empirical overview with a focus on English r-insertion and critique several markedness-based approaches to consonant epenthesis, including Lombardi (2002), de Lacy (2006), and Steriade (2009), concluding that a viable theory of synchronic phonology must allow for epenthesis of any segment, no matter how marked. This is consistent with the larger point that “unnatural” phonological patterns are the product of historical processes which may obscure phonetic motivation; specifically in this case, unusual epenthetic consonants may result from hypercorrection and reanalysis of deletion patterns (Blevins 2008).}, keywords = {Bert Vaux}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Costa2017, title = {Contemporary Comparative Anthropology–The Why We Post Project}, author = {Elisabetta Costa and Daniel Miller and Laura Haapio-Kirk and Nell Haynes and Jolynna Sinanan and Tom McDonald and Razvan Nicolescu and Juliano Spyer and Shriram Venkatraman and Xinyuan Wang}, doi = {10.1080/00141844.2017.1397044}, year = {2017}, date = {2017-11-08}, urldate = {2017-11-08}, journal = {Ethnos}, volume = {84}, number = {2}, pages = {1-16}, abstract = {This paper confronts the disparity between a tradition that has defined anthropology as a comparative discipline and the practices which increasingly embrace cultural relativism and the uniqueness of each fieldsite.

Second, I aim to develop a typology in which the importance of particular sectors to corrupt practices is highlighted and explained. Third, I point out that India has failed to make the ‘transition’ historically seen in low-income countries as they develop. Nation-states have in the past moved from a system of vertical corruption—marked by the extraction of small sums from a large number of transactions with citizens in everyday life—to a system of horizontal corruption, in which governmental elites extract large sums in a small number of transactions from corporate and commercial bodies. Finally, I argue that anti-corruption movements cannot be understood without paying attention to the affective and emotional ties that bind citizens to the state. We have to take account of contradictory feelings about the state: cynicism about the state and popular anger against corruption on one side, and an attachment to popular sovereignty and patronage on the other.

There is now a rush by governments and private companies to expand in the rapidly growing region, to the extent that we can begin to talk of a process of world-wide investment. Both traditionally powerful economies in the West and emerging powers such as China and India have contributed to a vast proliferation of investment, raising questions of what intense competition will mean for Africa’s economic development. The Globalization of Foreign Investment in Africa: The Role of Europe, China, and India compares the differing approaches between Asian and European players in Africa, with a particular focus on the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the socio-economic, socio-political, and socio-cultural development of the region. First documenting the historical context of Western dominance from European colonial powers, the book follows the paradigm shift that occurred with China’s 21st century foray into Africa in search of oil and other raw materials to fuel its own rapidly rising economy. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the author proposes that Africa will only get maximum benefits from high-level investment activities if it succeeds in evolving an Africa-driven foreign investment policy. This strategy presents the best scenario for an African economic renaissance in the 21st century.

The VOC has triggered intense interest and rigorous research on the issue of wordhood in Chinese due to its disharmonious behaviour shown in the two separate modules of syntax and morphology. However, these previous discussions mainly focus on the criteria that can identify a word in Chinese. This paper, rather than belabouring the issue of refining these criteria or proposing new ones, centres on the fact that this type of compound exhibits properties in syntax, as well as lexical features in morphology and semantics. The description and analysis of the syntactic and morphological characteristics of VOCs then provide a foundation for a generalized account of the representation of VOCs and Verb-Object (VO) idioms within the grammatical framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG).}, keywords = {Adams Bodomo}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {proceedings} } @inbook{Fina2017bb, title = {Dialect performances in super diverse communities: the case for ethnographic approaches to language variation}, author = {Anna De Fina}, editor = {Reem Bassiousey}, isbn = {9781315279732}, year = {2017}, date = {2017-10-24}, pages = {19}, publisher = {Routledge}, abstract = {This chapter examines the use of Sicilian dialect in identity performances by children of a superdiverse fifth-grade classroom.

All three play a central role in speakers’ use of language for communication in conversation. Exposure to language alone, however, is not enough for learning. Children need to practice what they hear, and take account of feedback on their usage. Research shows that adults offer feedback with considerable frequency when young children make errors, whether in pronunciation (phonology), in word-from (morphology), in word choice (lexicon), or in constructions (syntax). Adults also offer children new words for objects, actions, and relations. And, along with new labels for such categories, they also provide supplementary information about the referents of new words—information about parts, properties, characteristic sounds, motion, and function, as well as about related neighboring objects, actions, and relations.

Not only were the gods, deities and saints attached to larger religious systems themselves ocean travellers; in contrast to the unpredictability of indigenous spirits, they were always amenable to requests for help, even when the suppliant was far from home waters.

Although German and English differ in the linguistic expression of aspect in that German lacks morphological aspect, while English marks the +/–progressive distinction, our results reveal that the two bilingual groups did not differ in their preference for perfective aspect. Perfective aspect was also preferred by the Greek monolingual children. Nevertheless, monolingual and Greek-German bilingual children produced fewer perfective verbs compared to the Greek-English children. Finally, all three groups preferred to use perfective aspect with accomplishment/achievement predicates, whereas a difference between the three groups is found in the use of imperfective aspect with stative, activity and semelfactive predicates.

African literature must be reconceptualized first and foremost as African language literature. Many scholars interested in the documentation and revitalization of African languages and cultures, which constitute attempts to preserve the collective memory of these African traditional knowledge systems, are largely in agreement with this, but how to go about doing Afriphone literature remains a research challenge.

The replies indicated strong responsibility towards the original text, and very little towards the reader or the wider community. Also, while the scholars appear to be convinced that their theories support the professional translator, in practice it would seem that university trained translators (and interpreters) rate theory very low on their list of ideal university training. Literature regarding the term "profession" is discussed as is what distinguishes an occupation from a profession. Classic trait theory suggests that a profession requires a number of minimum requisites, such as a well-grounded school of theory, infl uential professional bodies and professional exams. The 'professional' translators and interpreters were asked to explain in their own words what makes translating a profession. They also replied to questions on status. As a result of the replies it was possible to identify a large homogeneous yet scattered cottage industry. Their 'professionality' lies in their individually honed competencies in the fi eld. They are dedicated and mainly satisfi ed wordsmiths, who take pride in their job. They decry "the cowboys" (from secretaries to students) while realising the seriousness of the competition due mainly to the very low status accredited to translators worldwide. Interpreters, on the other hand, saw themselves – and were seen by translators – as having a relatively high professional autonomy. Interestingly, relatively few of the respondents had only one "main role".

Estes manuscritos, de dimensão, autoria e origem muito variadas, constituem um corpus de mais de 22.000 palavras que será aqui apresentado e contextualizado pela primeira vez. Pela sua raridade, este corpus é inestimável enquanto repositório da língua portuguesa produzida em Cochim/Malabar e noutras regiões da Ásia (já que contém documentos provenientes de Batávia e Bengala) e indicador dos domínios de uso que a língua aí preservou entre os séculos XVII e XIX. Do ponto de vista linguístico, como veremos, também se observa uma variação extrema, com registos muito próximos do português-padrão L1 da sua época, outros mais divergentes (e certos pontos de contacto com os crioulos locais) e ainda textos claramente produzidos por tradutores para quem o português era uma L2. - Bes, Lennart. 2012.

Current interest in language creativity is located within a wider interest in creativity in everyday life, evident across the humanities and social sciences. The paper argues that such vernacular creativity is particularly relevant to the concerns of sociolinguistics. The special issue considers how the adoption of a sociolinguistic lens may contribute to our understanding of creativity; and how the study of creativity in language may itself contribute to sociolinguistic and linguistic theory. Creativity is theorised here in terms of poetics (Jakobson, 1960); performance/critique (Bauman and Briggs, 1990; Hymes, 1981); Bakhtinian dialogics/heteroglossia (Bakhtin [1935] 1981); and aesthetics (e.g. Saito, 2015). We argue that a particular value of sociolinguistic analysis is its ability to reveal micro processes of creativity: for instance aesthetic performance that emerges in the moment, with the potential discursively to transform both language and social relations. Aesthetics, it is argued, ‘carries the politics of discourse’ and its study may therefore also enrich sociolinguistic theory. More broadly within linguistics, the study of creativity alerts us to the plasticity, or messiness, of language, challenging the concept of ‘linguistic rules’ that is embedded within linguistic thinking.}, keywords = {Ana Deumert}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Deumert2017bb, title = {Mimesis and mimicry in language–creativity and aesthetics as the performance of (dis-) semblances}, author = {Ana Deumert}, doi = {10.1016/j.langsci.2017.03.009}, year = {2017}, date = {2017-07-01}, journal = {Language Sciences}, volume = {65}, pages = {9-17}, abstract = {This paper approaches creativity from the perspective of an everyday, decolonial–postcolonial aesthetics. While creativity emphasizes human agency, improvisation and, more broadly, the process of ‘bringing novelty into the world’ (Bhabha, 1994), aesthetics is about the perception and experience of creative acts and products (Dewey, 1934; Saito, 2015). Core concepts in the discussion are mimesis (re-presentation) and mimicry (disruptive imitation), which refer to a conceptual space similar to that captured by recontextualization (Bauman and Briggs, 1990) and iteration (Derrida, 1988). Importantly, mimesis/mimicry draw our attention to iconic and indexical signs and the experientiality of perception. These theoretical reflections are developed further with reference to digital writing in South Africa: (a) the recontextualization of Futurist writing as an example of mimicry and decolonization, and (b) mimesis as creative and experiential re-presentation in the articulation of emotion.}, keywords = {Ana Deumert}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Giles2017c, title = {Communication and group life: How language and symbols shape intergroup relations}, author = {Howard Giles and Lauren Keblusek and Anne Maass}, doi = {10.1177/1368430217708864}, isbn = {136843021770886}, year = {2017}, date = {2017-06-25}, urldate = {2017-06-25}, journal = {Group Processes & Intergroup Relation}, volume = {20}, number = {5}, abstract = {In this article, we review the different functions that language and symbols (in particular clothing) fulfill in group life; language and clothing are rarely, if ever, discussed together in the same conceptual space.

Our investigation shows that the phrase serves as a mise en relief (underscoring) for Le Pen's denunciations, conclusions, and explanations. Moreover, the phrase d'ailleurs plays a fundamental role in the politician's interactional strategy, enabling her to achieve proximity with the audience, to manage the turns to disqualify her opponents, and to project herself as a credible president ('présidentiable').

How do residents respond to the diverse sexualities they encounter? How do they talk about diversity (sexual and otherwise)? The data was collected in the context of a long-term ethnographic project, which looks at responses to diversity in non-metropolitan settings. Reconstructing local philosophies of hospitality and looking at affective-discursive practice, we argue that social life in Forestville shows traces of what Derrida (2000) calls ‘absolute hospitality’. There is a sense of welcome and inclusivity, but, unlike in Derrida's conception, this hospitality is deeply embedded in the speech act of asking, indeed in curiosity. At the same time, hospitality remains fragile; it is always on the border of exclusion and judgment.

More specifically, chick lit offers analytical insights into social classes that are powerful but are traditionally hard to get ethnographic access to, such as elegant poverty in Athens. Relatively recently formed, elegant poverty consists of primarily former wealthy northern Athenian suburbanites who due to the financial recession are characterized by the ownership of estate but absolute lack of cash.

I have also been investigating issues in comparative parallelism for roughly the same period of time. In 2014 I published Explorations in Semantic Parallelism, which marked an important stage in this research. This volume is a collection of papers both new and old. For example, I reprinted my first survey of the field in 1977 published in honor of Roman Jakobson together with a longer paper on the "trajectory" of subsequent and continuing developments in the study of parallelism. Explorations in Semantic Parallelism also reprints several of my papers on the study of the Rotenese tradition of canonical parallelism together with various papers that continue to extend my study of this tradition. My personal understanding of the Rotenese tradition of canonical composition has grown over several decades, while the tradition itself has been undergoing change. My perceptions of this change are intimately linked to my increasing comprehension of the tradition as a whole. In this paper I take stock of the work on that tradition to date and to put it into perspective. I also describe the changes that have occurred in the tradition over the course of my research as I gradually gained new perceptions of its fundamental underpinnings.

Here, we combine a liquid state manipulation method for solidified Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 alloy with subsequent melt spinning, ball milling, and spark plasma sintering processes, to construct dedicated microstructures containing plenty of 60° twin boundaries. These twin boundaries firstly scatter the very low-energy carriers and lead to an enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient. Secondly, they provide a considerable high carrier mobility, compensating the negative effect of the reduced hole concentration on the electrical conductivity. Thirdly, both experimental and calculated results demonstrate that the twin-boundary scattering dominates the conspicuous decrease of the lattice thermal conductivity. Consequently, the highest ZT value of 1.42 is achieved at 348 K, which is 27% higher than that of the sample with less twin boundary treated without liquid state manipulation. The average ZT value from 300 K to 400 K reaches 1.34.

Adopting a corporate common language (CCL) provides MNCs benefits, such as efficiency and coherence, from standardizing employees’ use of language. Yet, the fact that a certain language is viewed as “standard” or common—and others as “nonstandard” and uncommon—can potentially create tensions between native and nonnative speakers of it. To increase scholarly attention to this topic, we discuss topics related to language attitudes that can affect communication processes in multilingual MNCs. The implications of, and organizational benefits for, sensitizing managers of MNCs that have adopted a CCL approach to these intergroup dynamics are discussed.

Thus, even countries that have been traditional sites of emigration ratherthan immigration, such as Italy, have seen a complete reversal, turning into pointsof arrival for people from all over the globe. Indeed, economic migration of foreign workers has become one of the most significant phenomena in the social life of mod-ern Italy. Over the past thirty years, the country has transformed itself completelyfrom a site of massive emigration to a destination for millions of immigrants froma wide spectrum of countries and areas, from Eastern Europe, to Africa, to Asia.This change follows economic trends in all of the European Union. But, while in the1970s immigration was restricted to North European countries that sought foreign workers either from former colonies or from the Mediterranean basin to employthem in construction and factories (see Calvanese and Pugliese 1988), starting in the1980s a new kind of migration has taken shape (see King 1993; Cole 1997), involvingItaly as well as other southern Mediterranean countries. Recent statistics publishedby Caritas (2012) report that immigrants in Italy in 2012 were about five million andconstituted 18 percent of the population, while in 2003 they constituted only 3.4percent of the total population (Delli Zotti et al. 2011). According to Cole (1997),new migrants come mainly from non-European countries, and are mostly “unsolic-ited and often unregulated and undocumented” (4). New migrants started targetingItaly due to the absence of tight controls and the existence of a vast informal market.Hence their numbers have been growing exponentially from the 1990s to the pres-ent. As noted by Cole and Booth (2007), immigrants’ contribution to the economyin Italy depends on local markets (13).

Background. English inflections are realised in accordance with a specific morphophonological rule: they are voiced when applied to a stem ending in a voiced consonant and they are devoiced when following a stem with a devoiced consonant. For instance, "kill" becomes "killed", pronounced /kɪ:ld/ when inflected in the past, and "ask" becomes "asked", pronounced /ɑ:skt/ when inflected in the past. Using this rule it is possible to create non-words that contain potential bound morphemes, such as /vʌ:ld/, and non-words that end in phonemes that can have an inflectional value, but not in that specific phonological context, such as /vʌ:lt/ Previous work has shown that monolingual English speakers are sensitive to the presence of bound morphology in non-words, which means that they are sensitive to the morphosyntactic properties of words also in the absence of semantics. For instance, Post et al. (2008) showed that participants take longer to discriminate non-words that respect the morphophonological rules of regular English inflection than non-words that are based on non-productive rules of English morphophonology. In previous work (Cilibrasi, 2016) we showed that non-words with potential bound morphology take longer to be discriminated than non-words that do not contain potential bound morphology. These results suggest that a form of morpheme stripping takes place (Pinker & Ullman, 2002), and also that it takes place in the absence of meaning. In other words, it suggests that speakers look for the presence of bound morphology in words endings independently of the identity of the verb. The present study used the same methodology of Cilibrasi (2016), but the subjects investigated in this occasion were adult second language learners. This study investigated the perception of bound morphemes in second language learners of English having Czech as L1. Results show that second language speakers of English with Czech as L1 are sensitive to the presence of inflectional morphology very early on, and the pattern of performance does not change substantially with additional proficiency. }, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } @misc{Eberhard2017, title = {Bi-Phasic Nasals in Mamaindê: At the Fuzzy edge between Phonology and phonetics}, author = {David Eberhard}, doi = {10.13140/RG.2.2.19412.81280}, year = {2017}, date = {2017-02-10}, abstract = {An Evaluation of three alternative analyses of bi-phasic nasals in Mamaindê: an Auto-segmental approach, an OT approach, and a Phonetic Implementation strategy}, keywords = {David Eberhard}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {presentation} } @conference{Costa2017d, title = {Media Anthropology Network European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA) E-Seminar Series}, author = {Elisabetta Costa}, year = {2017}, date = {2017-02-07}, urldate = {2017-02-07}, abstract = {In this article, I explore the notion of presence, especially as it pertains to anthropological notions of ‘being there’and argue that studying with media significantly influences our physical presence as we are able to bring distant and not so distant places into our fields.

We begin with general definitions and considerations of the multiple roles that narratives carry in social life. We then proceed to discuss two key areas of study:(1) research on identities and representations by and about migrants, and (2) research on migrants’ storytelling practices within institutions and communities. This categorization and further subdivisions within these broad areas will be discussed following the general introduction. Telling stories is a way of sharing and making sense of experiences in the recent or remote past, and of recounting important, emotional, or traumatic events and the minutiae of everyday life. Stories are essential in conveying moral values and social norms and teaching them to children. They are central to the construction of individual and collective identities and are used to index ways of being and social identifications. Furthermore, stories carry weight in important institutional encounters such as employment and immigration processes.

Their use without further qualification obscures key differences between the various real-world circumstances that they are typically applied to. This leads to confusion when the label ‘indigenous’ is employed in formal deliberations over political, cultural and land rights. To achieve clarity, some further distinctions need to be observed, most importantly between ‘indigeny’ and ‘indigenism’, between ‘tribal’ and ‘indigenous’, and between ‘indigeny’ and ‘exogeny’. Indigeny (the continued habitation of the same specific places that one’s familial ancestors always lived in) differs qualitatively in its cultural, economic and psychological consequences from all other circumstances that are labelled ‘indigenous’. Most of the latter arise within the tacitly exogenous context that underpins modernity, which is made possible by not living continuously where one’s ancestors lived. These usages are examples of ‘indigenism’ in its several varieties, rather than indigeny. The exogenous framework emphasises formal rationality and codified legal systems, which makes it difficult for the ‘native-title’ concerns of truly place-linked indigenous people to be argued for and judged fairly in court. Without due care, therefore, indigenist arguments may sometimes act against the interests of true place-linked indigenes. Further confusion results from the conventional use of ‘indigenous’ as a synonym of ‘tribal’, which brings together two distinct and sometimes antithetical social circumstances under a single label, since it is also authentically applicable to many peasant populations. Treating both tribespeople and peasants in an undifferentiated manner as simply ‘indigenous’ peoples misrepresents their distinct life-circumstances, especially with regard to matters of religion, language and mode of attachment to land. Examples drawn from several different Asian countries demonstrate the varying and sometimes antithetical ways in which the idea of ‘indigenous peoples’ has been applied – or ignored – and hence the necessity to employ it with more care than has usually been the case.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Geoffrey Benjamin}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Tang2017, title = {Sign Bilingualism in Deaf Education}, author = {Gladys Tang}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-02258-1_35}, isbn = {978-3-319-02257-4}, year = {2017}, date = {2017-01-01}, pages = {191-203}, publisher = {Springer, Cham}, abstract = {In recent decades, empirical evidence from sign linguistics research has confirmed the natural language properties of sign languages used by Deaf members of the society.

Per the original framework introduced 40 years ago, the more vitality an ethnolinguistic group perceives itself to have, the more likely that it will thrive as a collective entity in an intergroup context. Consequently, research adopting this paradigm—herein termed vitality theory—has studied ways in which objective and subjective group vitality has manifested itself in the endurance of ethnolinguistic groups. The notion of objective vitality includes the factors of demographics, institutional support, and status that characterize the strength of a group in comparison to others present in an intergroup setting. Contrastively, subjective vitality was introduced to highlight how groups may cognitively and affectively perceive these same factors. A large body of empirical research has been conducted within the vitality theory framework that has resulted in several stages of development. Evidence has shown that while the components of objective vitality (demographics, institutional support, status) do not typically manifest themselves as distinct components in the structure of subjective vitality, they do form a single component reflecting the perceived strength of the group. In addition, several other social psychological factors, such as perception of the legitimacy of intergroup relations, the level of ethnocentrism, and perception of intergroup distance, were incorporated into models of subjective vitality. Relatedly, these factors are shaped into group members’ discourse of vitality, which is a highly dialogical process of negotiation of subjective vitality of the groups engaged in intergroup contact. The vitality framework has been usefully invoked beyond ethnolinguistic groups, embracing several intergroup settings including age, gender, and sexual orientation. Vitality, which has provoked some controversy in the literature, has also been widely adopted by very different approaches as an umbrella term to denote the long-term sustainability of a group. Scholars in linguistics, sociology, psychology, education, anthropology, and beyond have contributed much to the concept, helping to educate and raise awareness as to why languages die out and the effects of such languages dying out.}, keywords = {Howard Giles}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Giles2017h, title = {Interaction coordination and adaptation}, author = {Howard Giles and Judee K Burgoon and Norah Dunbar}, doi = {10.1017/9781316676202.008}, year = {2017}, date = {2017-01-01}, urldate = {2017-01-01}, pages = {78 - 96}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, abstract = {A Biological and Social Imperative Adaptation is a biological and social imperative - biologically, for the survival of a species; socially, for the survival of a society. Vertebrates and invertebrates alike come equipped with reflexes that produce involuntary survival-related forms of adaptation in the form of fight or flight responses. In the face of a threat, a frightened organism may sound an alarm call, emit an odor, or display a visual signal that is recognized by species mates as fear. The fear triggers behavioral mimicry that leads the entire flock, herd, swarm, or school to take flight en masse. Or, rage by a single individual may fuel a contagion of aggression that turns into mob violence. These reciprocal actions may not be easily suppressed or controlled. Other forms of adaptation are volitional, intentional, and socially oriented. Humans may copy the speech patterns of their social “superiors” in hopes of being viewed as belonging to the same ingroup. Or one person’s antagonistic demeanor toward a target may elicit a docile, calming response by the victim. Both forms of adaptation - involuntary and voluntary - undergird social organization. As Martin Luther King Jr. observed in his Letter from a Birmingham Jail (1963), “we are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.” By means of verbal and nonverbal communication, civilized societies negotiate access to scarce resources, work out their interpersonal relationships, and create their social organizations. Thus, communication is fundamentally an adaptive enterprise that reflects and channels these biological and social imperatives. How, when, and why such adaptation takes place is the topic of this chapter. Forms of Coordination and Adaptation It is perhaps unsurprising that given its fundamental role in social interaction, terms describing various forms of adaptation have proliferated, leading to conceptual and operational disarray. The same terms have been applied to different phenomena and different terms have been applied to the same phenomenon. Here we introduce the most common usage from scholars of communication, psychology and linguistics who over the course of forty years have largely converged on these definitions.

Introduction Portuguese expansion was early accompanied by significant efforts in linguistic description, which, in some cases, provide us with the first known records of certain languages. In a first phase, this work was carried out by missionaries who saw it as an instrument for the expansion of the Catholic religion in Africa, the Americas and Asia-Pacific (for a summary, see Zwartjes 2001). Taking into account that the first of these works date from the century. XVI, the portion of Timor under Portuguese jurisdiction appears to have been ignored for a long time.

Children narrated a story to a multi-episode picture sequence that was analysed using story structure and appropriate referential forms. An online global-local attention task assessed children’s non-verbal inhibition and attention. The results partly supported our hypothesis. In the verbal task, TD bilinguals used the least number of ambiguous forms during narration, and bilinguals with ASD outperformed their monolingual controls. Furthermore, bilinguals with or without ASD and their controls used more story grammar elements than TD monolinguals. In the non-verbal task, children with ASD performed better in the local condition while children without ASD in the global condition.

Performance is investigated in relation to the role of the bilingual’s vocabulary knowledge in Greek as well as the role of input factors including the monolingual/bilingual school contexts and the role of parental education as a proxy for socioeconomic status (SES). To test the bilingual acquisition of grammatical gender in Greek, 150 bilingual children aged 8 to 12 years old residing in Greece and in Albania, along with 57 Greek monolingual children conducted the four gender tasks targeting gender assignment and gender agreement for real and novel nouns. Background information was collected on a number of input related variables, such as age of onset of exposure to L2, home language strategies, literacy development in the L1 and L2 and language preferences for oral tasks, with the use of questionnaires administered to parents and to children. Additionally, the bilingual’s lexical abilities were measured by means of a standardized expressive vocabulary test in Greek (Vogindroukas et al., 2009) and a similar vocabulary test in Albanian (Kapia & Kananaj, 2013). The results show a strong interaction among the bilinguals’ performance and their Greek vocabulary development, the amount of oral Greek input and type of schooling they are attending.

The paper shows that social media users actively appropriate online platforms and change privacy settings in order to keep different social spheres and social groups apart. Social media users actively mould online social environments that largely resemble those existing in the offline world. Keeping different online social contexts divided from one another is the taken for granted way of using social media in Mardin. By contrast, social media scholars have extensively discussed the effects of social media in terms of context collapse (among others see Marvin 2013; Marwick and Boyd 2011; Marwick and Ellison 2012; Vitak 2012; Wesch 2008, 2009). This in turn has been described as a consequence of platform’s architecture and affordances. This paper shows that the theory of context collapse does not account for the uses of social media in Mardin. It demonstrates that the concept of affordance has been largely used to describe “intrinsic” properties of a platform and its architecture, which are instead the results of pattern of usage within Anglo-American contexts.

Focusing on the linguistic dimensions of economic inequality, cultural domination and imparity of political participation, Linguistic Diversity and Social Justice employs a case-study approach to real-world instances of linguistic injustice. Linguistic diversity is a universal characteristic of human language but linguistic diversity is rarely neutral; rather it is accompanied by linguistic stratification and linguistic subordination. Domains critical to social justice include employment, education, and community participation. The book offers a detailed examination of the connection between linguistic diversity and inequality in these specific contexts within nation states that are organized as liberal democracies. Inequalities exist not only between individuals and groups within a state but also between states. Therefore, the book also explores the role of linguistic diversity in global injustice with a particular focus on the spread of English as a global language.

We assessed participants’ awareness of the inherent stress regularities by analysing confidence in making decisions and by verbal report. Results suggest that although participants remained unaware of the underlying stress regularities they performed significantly above chance in endorsing correctly stressed novel items even when they claimed to be guessing. In addition, there was no difference in confidence between correct and incorrect judgments. These results suggest that brief exposure resulted in implicit knowledge of abstract stress assignment rules.

The editors’ leading idea was to ignite an academic discussion on the several and often hidden ways through which humour succeeds in constantly strengthening and/or re-interpreting, but also dismantling, the social dimension of language. One of the possible results of such a political and social act is the fostering of the cultural exclusion of some gendered, or rather de-generated – as some discriminated groups tend to be commonly alleged to be – minority communities. Additionally, since humour may also work to signify the recurring upsetting of pre-established social beliefs through the systematic threatening of the familiar, the normative, and what is universally deemed as socially acceptable or “normal”, debates on any form of humorous self-representation of gendered identities were also vivid in the editors’ minds. In particular, it seemed fascinating to encouraging a discussion on the way LGBTI communities, just like other marginalised groups, would employ humour to support and reinforce their own in-group sense of community, by mocking typically stereotyped representations of gender variant people who laugh at and with themselves. Although LGBTI humour is still a very hot topic in our western world, one reason for the lack of a real academic confrontation on its social and political mechanisms resides in the very difficult challenge of defining it. Specifically, despite a convincing semantic linguistic theory of humour introduced by Raskin (1985) and later developed by Attardo (1994; 2001), the cultural mechanisms underlying some jokes laughing about human relationships by queering the scene, for instance, are still an unexplored topic.}, keywords = {Delia Carmela Chiaro}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {book} } @article{Baider2016, title = {Voice Quality and Gender Stereotypes: A Study of Lebanese Women With Reinke's Edema}, author = {Fabienne Baider and Nayla Matar and Cristel Portes and Leonardo Lancia and Thierry Legou}, doi = {10.1044/2016_JSLHR-S-15-0047}, year = {2016}, date = {2016-12-01}, journal = {Journal of Speech Language and Hearing Research}, volume = {59}, number = {6}, pages = {S1608 }, abstract = {Purpose: Women with Reinke's edema (RW) report being mistaken for men during telephone conversations.

We compared the acoustic parameters of vowels produced by 10 RW to those produced by 10 men and 10 women with healthy voices (hereafter referred to as NW) in Lebanese Arabic. We conducted a perception study for the evaluation of RW, healthy men's, and NW voices by naïve listeners. Results: RW self-evaluated their voices as masculine and their gender identities as feminine. The acoustic parameters that distinguish RW from NW voices concern fundamental frequency, spectral slope, harmonicity of the voicing signal, and complexity of the spectral envelope. Naïve listeners very often rate RW as surely masculine. Conclusions: Listeners may rate RW's gender incorrectly. These incorrect gender ratings are correlated with acoustic measures of fundamental frequency and voice quality.

The Chinese state is reforming its judicial system with the aim of making it more accessible to its citizenry, so that law and legal rights create bonds between individuals and the collectivity. This approach envisions legal mediation as a vehicle to bring law to the countryside. This article, however, shows that in rural Yunnan, the law and legal rights are seen as instruments of disenfranchisement.

The study aims to describe and compare local dialects which share certain features in their phonological systems. This paper describes a local dialect spoken in the hamlet of Hến, Trương Sơn commune, Đức Thọ county, Ha ̀ Tinh province in north central Vietnam. There is a vowel in this dialect not found anywhere outside the Quang Nam and Quang Ngai dialects of central Vietnam. By examining the phonological distribution and acoustic characteristics of this vowel, the paper argues that this is the low, back, unrounded vowel /ɑ/. This hypothesis explains why the vowel is found only in the speech of the Quang Nam and Quang Ngai people, whose ancestors migrated in waves from the north central region during the time of the Nguyễn Lords' reign in central and south Vietnam. The existence of /ɑ/ in the Hến dialect suggests that the Hến dialect is one of interdialects, connecting dialects of north central Vietnam to those of central Vietnam.

Peri-urban and rural areas, on the other hand, have remained understudied. There is often an implicit assumption that the effects of globalization might be less pervasive and dramatic—and thus less interesting—in non-metropolitan contexts. In order to address this imbalance in current scholarship, it is necessary to look more closely at non-metropolitan contexts. This allows us to arrive at a more ‘complete’understanding of globalization by ‘adding insights from places not usually or immediately identified as “globalized”’(Wang et al. 2014: 38; similar concerns have been raised by human geographers, see Woods 2007, McCarthy 2008, and Hedberg and Haandrikman 2014). Our ongoing collaborative work responds to the call for research in non-metropolitan contexts by studying globalization in two rural towns in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province. These towns participate in what Xuan Wang and her colleagues have called ‘infrastructures of globalization’. Thus, communication technologies are available in the form of mobile phones and internet cafés.

Shouldn’t we be using African languages to produce African literary texts, shouldn’t we produce more Afriphone African literature compared to Europhone African literature or Afro-Europhone literature? This issue underlies the reality that the vast majority of African writers presumably think in one language and express themselves (speak, enchant, or write) in another. This problematic, crystalized in major debates between Ngugi wa Thiongo and others, on the one hand, and Chinua Achebe and others, on the other hand, has resulted in great challenges as to how we can define or even conceptualize the discipline of African literature. Is it literature written by Africans in African languages for Africans or is it literature written by anybody including non-Africans in non-African languages? Or is it somewhere in-between these two extremes? The paper discusses several positions on this major question in African literature before advancing a novel proposal based on insights and evidence from proto-type theory within Linguistics and the Cognitive Sciences. This proposal leads to a somewhat provocative conclusion about the gradation of African literatures, where African language literatures or Afrophone literatures, comprise the core, proto-typical category in a 21st Century African literature constellation, whereas foreign language and diasporic literatures such as Afro-European literatures, Afro-American literatures, and Afro-Chinese literatures are the hybrid and thus more recessive, peripheral types of African literature.

By the same token this also presents a rare opportunity to demonstrate just what anthropology is capable of achieving in enhancing our understanding of our contemporary world, and you may not want to squander that chance. The good news is that if you work on digital media you can also appreciate that there is a whole slew of new ways in which we can engage in this form of popular dissemination. As a group of nine researchers in the Why We Post project, we find ourselves in just such a position. So this report is not about the results of our project, but it is rather an account of how we are trying to meet the challenge of sharing our results, and reconceptualising the whole process of reaching diverse audiences from the most academic to the most popular. Briefly, however, the project comprised a team of nine anthropologists who carried out simultaneous 15 month ethnographies.

Yet they can only ever be claimed and applied in specific historical and cultural circumstances. It is from recognising this basic paradox between a universal principle and its practical application that the anthropological study of human rights arises. It allows anthropologists to confront some of the fundamental questions in their discipline, while also contributing a distinct perspective to actual human rights controversies. How wedded is the discipline to cultural and moral relativism? What can be learned from those anthropological studies of justice and morality that were written before the current interest in human rights began in the 1980s? What form of human rights activism can anthropological knowledge foster, or is anthropological analysis a necessarily separate type of pursuit from activism? This essay addresses these and other questions by considering anthropologists’ varied responses to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights​ and their efforts to harness anthropological knowledge in the service of human rights advocacy. Critical perspectives on actually existing human rights administrations are also discussed. While some anthropologists identify problems in activists’ and governments’ efforts in order to make human rights more acceptable locally, others demonstrate the extent to which the emphasis by human rights activists on liberties rather than socio-economic rights has been compatible with the continuing influence of political and business elites, in particular postcolonial contexts. Anthropological work has also asserted its separation from the human rights agenda by exploring what other means ordinary people have at their disposal to make their claims and grievances heard. The essay concludes by considering the future of human rights in the light of the penetration of human rights law into ever more intimate spheres of life, such as sexuality and gender relations. Anthropology’s particular strengths are also apparent here: kinship, the body, and personhood are classic themes that can provide unique perspectives on controversies over intimate human rights.}, keywords = {Harri Englund}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Fina2016bb, title = {Storytelling and audience reactions in social media}, author = {Anna De Fina}, doi = {10.1017/S0047404516000051}, year = {2016}, date = {2016-09-01}, journal = {Language in Society}, volume = {45}, number = {04}, pages = {473-498}, abstract = {Storytelling is among the most common forms of discourse in human communication.

It argues for the transfer of the cultural and sociopolitical element as being the hardest to translate into languages other than Greek. In light of this challenge, it is suggested that a functional variationist translation model (Theodoropoulou 2007), which takes into consideration the general context and the functions of individual illocutionary acts (Austin 1962), i.e. intended meanings, performed digitally could remedy this weakness by yielding translations that do justice to the original utterances. This is also enhanced by the fact that a multisemiotic style, such as a picture posted on Facebook Wall, offers lots of background information (e.g., colors and facial expressions, to mention just a few), which act synergistically in the deciphering and consequent translation of the text. The expansion of the use of the aforementioned sociopragmatic model of translation into multisemiotic texts is made on the basis of linguistic and multimodal analysis of posts with pictures and text from the Aganaktismenoi pages on Facebook and their translation into English.}, keywords = {Eirini Theodoropoulou}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Theodoropoulou2016b, title = {Mediatized vernacularization: On the structure, entextualization and resemiotization of Varoufakiology}, author = {Eirini Theodoropoulou}, doi = {10.1016/j.dcm.2016.08.003}, year = {2016}, date = {2016-09-01}, journal = {Discourse, Context & Media}, volume = {14}, pages = {28-39}, abstract = {This paper focuses on the structure of mediatized discourses on the former Greek minister of finance Yanis Varoufakis, which are labeled Varoufakiology.

In unison, they create a sense of semiotic vernacularization, translated into interacting linguistic and semiotic simplification, boldness and unconventionality associated with a controversial and multidimensional personality with intense and impactful political, academic and popular activity.

In this heterogeneous linguistic environment, which is typical of many African settings, individuals have large and adaptive linguistic repertoires. The local language ideologies focus on different aspects of identity which languages serve to index, but enable individuals to focus on different facets of identity according to context. National language ideologies are essentialist and have as their goal to put constructed homogeneous communities on the polyglossic map of Senegalese languages. In contrast to similarly essential Western ideologies, however, these national ideologies operating in Senegal are not linked to actual standard language practices. Using the example of individuals in two households and by presenting rich ethnographic information on them, the paper explores the relationship between language use and language ideologies before describing a sampling method for documenting language use in these contexts. It is argued that the documentation of these contexts cannot be achieved independently of an understanding of the language ideologies at work, as they influence what is presented as linguistic practice, and that arriving at a holistic description and documentation of the multilingual settings of Africa and beyond is central for advancing linguistic theory in sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics and contact linguistics.}, keywords = {Friederike Lüpke}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Giles2016j, title = {The Contexts and Dynamics of Science Communication and Language}, author = {Howard Giles and Ronald E.

A proper analysis requires reference to knowledge of the input language phonology. In the first case study, we observe that Vietnamese adapters extend the French phonotactic tendencies, i.e., Loi de Position, to loan adaptation productively. Such “intrusion” of L2 phonology knowledge may arise when phonetics underdetermines the adaptation and the adapters look to their knowledge of L2 phonology to arrive at adaptation. It is also notable that the L2 knowledge employed in adaptation is not native-like as the adaptation is not always isomorphic to the French input. In the second case study, the contrast of L2 phonology (/ʁ/ vs. /k/) is neutralized due to an L1 phonological restriction (i.e., no /ʁ/ in Vietnamese coda) but the Vietnamese adaptation systematically retains the contrast in the quality and length difference in the preceding vowel. There is plausible phonetic motivation for this adaptation pattern, but phonetically faithful mapping underdetermines the attested adaptation pattern, and reference to knowledge of L2 phonological contrasts is necessary. These findings illustrate the complexity of the loanword adaptation process, where a variety of different factors including L1 phonological restrictions, phonetic similarity, and L2 phonological knowledge, interact to affect adaptation.}, keywords = {Andrea Hoa Pham}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Zuckermann2016, title = {Talknology in the Service of the Barngarla Language Reclamation}, author = {Ghil‘ad Zuckermann}, url = { }, doi = {10.1093/oso/9780199812776.003.0007}, isbn = {9780199812776}, year = {2016}, date = {2016-06-01}, pages = {227-239}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, abstract = {This chapter introduces the fascinating and multifaceted reclamation of the Barngarla Aboriginal language of Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.

Greek is a language with morphological number marked on nominal and verbal elements. Coordinate SV agreement however is special in Greek as it is sensitive to the coordinate subject’s position: when preverbal, the verb is marked for plural while when postverbal the verb can be in the singular. We conducted two experiments, an acceptability judgment task with adult monolinguals as a pre-study (Experiment 1) and a self-paced reading task as the main study (Experiment 2) in order to obtain acceptance as well as processing data. Forty adult monolingual speakers of Greek participated in Experiment 1 and a hundred and forty one in Experiment 2. Seventy one children participated in Experiment 2: 30 Albanian-Greek sequential bilingual children and 41 Greek monolingual children aged 10 to 12 years. The adult data in Experiment 1 establish the difference in acceptability between singular VPs in SV and VS constructions reaffirming our hypothesis. Meanwhile, the adult data in Experiment 2 show that plural verbs accelerate processing regardless of subject position. The child online data show that sequential bilingual children have longer reading times (RTs) compared to the age-matched monolingual control group. However, both child groups follow a similar processing pattern in both preverbal and postverbal constructions showing longer RTs immediately after a singular verb when the subject was preverbal indicating a grammaticality effect. In the postverbal coordinate subject sentences, both child groups showed longer RTs on the first subject following the plural verb due to the temporary number mismatch between the verb and the first subject. This effect was resolved in monolingual children but was still present at the end of the sentence for bilingual children indicating difficulties to reanalyze and integrate information. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that (a) 10-12 year-old sequential bilingual children are sensitive to number agreement in SV coordinate constructions parsing sentences in the same way as monolingual children even though their vocabulary abilities are lower than that of age-matched monolingual peers and (b) bilinguals are slower in processing overall. }, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Williams2016b, title = {Translating y Cofnod : Translation policy and the official status of the Welsh language in Wales}, author = {Collin Williams and Diarmait Mac Giolla Chríost and Patrick Carlin}, doi = {10.1080/14781700.2015.1129987}, year = {2016}, date = {2016-05-03}, journal = {Translation Studies}, volume = {9}, number = {2}, pages = {212-227}, abstract = {It might safely be said that no issue is as politically contentious in Wales as that of the status of the Welsh language in society in general and in public life in particular, along with its relationship to the English language.

These groups provide rescue teams, receiving teams, medical aid groups, cooking groups, logistics and distribution of clothing, hospitality, interpreters and transportation.

Nevertheless, although for now there is little sign of exhaustion, there is no guarantee that volunteers will have the stamina or resources to continue. Some of these grassroots activists have been there for many months, sleeping in tents and working day and night. In many cases on Lesvos, refugees have asked the anarchists of Platanos whether they are the UN, simply because the UN is not visible.

It is a language with four level lexical tones and two grammatical tones. Previous work by the author (see references) indicates that pitch realization in Mambila is rather tightly constrained with respect to downtrends, the intrinsic F0 of vowels, and the overall scaling of tones. The present chapter combines this earlier work with newly reported research to present an overview of tone and intonation in Mambila. The major question addressed is whether Mambila, with its complex and crowded tone space, uses F0 differences to signal differences in sentence type: declaratives, polar questions, and content questions. The results of a series of experimental investigations reveal no consistent contribution of F0 in distinguishing sentence type: Mambila is a language which does not have intonation, as this concept is usually understood. The implications of these findings for intonation theory are discussed in the closing paragraphs of the chapter.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Bruce Connell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Williams2016bb, title = {Beasley [née James], (Catherine) Eileen (1921–2012), teacher and Welsh-language campaigner}, author = {Collin Williams and E Wyn James}, doi = {10.1093/ref:odnb/105629}, year = {2016}, date = {2016-01-07}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, keywords = {Collin Williams}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Mannheim2016, title = {Development of teleological explanations in U.S. English-speaking and Peruvian Quechua-speaking preschoolers and adults}, author = {Bruce Mannheim and Ingrid Sánchez Tapia and Susan A Gelman and Michelle A Hollander and Erika M Manczak and Carmen Escalante}, doi = {10.1111/cdev.12497}, year = {2016}, date = {2016-01-05}, urldate = {2016-01-05}, journal = {Child Development}, volume = {87}, number = {3}, abstract = {Unlabelled: Teleological reasoning involves the assumption that entities exist for a purpose (giraffes have long necks for reaching leaves).

Recent security concerns about Islamic terrorism in Western countries have reinflamed this debate about French Muslims’ “assimilability,” albeit with a novel focus on the cultural affiliations of French Muslim youth, in particular. The French State and politicians are concerned about survey data showing that, even as such youth have acceded to legal citizenship, they nevertheless exhibit a greater adherence to Islamic norms and more numerous transnational links than their parents’ or grandparents’ generations, and may, for these reasons, pose a threat to French sovereignty. This dissertation investigates these top-down claims of French Muslim youth’s unprecedented religiosity and transnationalism, seeking to ethnographically test the veracity of such hypotheses and to offer a more nuanced, historically emplaced account of youth’s cultural identifications and practices. Based on long-term research with youth ages 13 to 30 who grew up in North, West, and East African Muslim households in Marseille’s northern housing projects, I demonstrate that such youth embody various emic forms of belonging to France, many of which stretch mainstream definitions of what constitutes Frenchness. Through ethnographic observation of these youth while they partook in Arabic classes, spent time with their peers and family, and navigated public space, this work reveals that youth more often perform local cultural belonging than are accorded French cultural citizenship, or the right to be seen and heard as French within the public sphere. I document the forms of alienation from Marseille that youth experience as a result, quite notable among them a gendered reverse migration phenomenon whereby orthodox-identified Muslim young women are planning to leave Marseille for their parents’ home countries and the Gulf States. Two further foci of the dissertation are the role of Arabic language education, both publicly provided and denominational, in shaping youth’s cultural trajectories, and also the analysis of youth’s language practices. I contend that, as diasporic youth draw upon—and play with—standard and non-standard varieties of French and Arabic, they afford the listener unique insight into where they are coming from and where they are headed, or their life-worlds and aspirations. }, keywords = {Cécile Anne Marguerite Evers}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Costa2016c, title = {The Morality of Premarital Romances: Social Media, Flirting and Love in Southeast Turkey}, author = {Elisabetta Costa}, doi = {10.1163/18739865-00902006}, year = {2016}, date = {2016-01-01}, urldate = {2016-01-01}, journal = {Middle East Journal of Culture and Communication}, volume = {9}, number = {2}, pages = {199-215}, abstract = {This article explores how young women use social media to experience premarital romances in Mardin, a medium-sized town in southeast Turkey.

The Bible and Asia by the biblical scholar R. S. Sugirtharajah is therefore a welcome corrective. In countering Western dominance of biblical hermeneutics, he tracks the various ways in which Asian and European individuals have read the Bible and the cross-cultural conversations generated by Asian interrogation of Christian scriptures. Following a brief introduction, the book is divided into seven semiindependent chapters. In the first Sugirtharajah highlights an often neglected aspect of the Bible: the references to localities, goods, animals, and plants that can lie only in Asia. Although he acknowledges that the depth of ancient connections remains speculative, trading connections meant the exchange of ideas and cross-fertilizing influences, especially with India. However, early Christian writings did not view Asia and Asians sympathetically, and the Acts of Thomas (omitted from the New Testament) saw India—idolatrous, poor, and intolerant—as ripe for evangelism. Chapter 2 introduces us to two men, John Holwell (1711–1798), a surgeon and employee of the East India Company, and Louis Jacolliot (1837–1890), a judge in the French East Indies. They were convinced that traces of Vedic texts were present in the Old Testament, and that even the depiction of Christ revealed links to Hindu deities. They thus disagreed with other European commentators, who contended that Indian religions were derived from biblical traditions. In Sugirtharajah’s opinion, however, the two men were fundamentally Orientalist in outlook. [End Page 652] Despite their conviction that Christians should look beyond the Semitic heritage, they were preoccupied with the stereotype of a “pure” Indian religious past that in their view had been degraded by Brahmin priests. Chapter 3 analyzes Asian interpretations of the Bible as exemplified by the Hindu reformer Raja Rammohan Roy (1772–1833), the Chinese Taiping leader Hong Xiuquan (1814–1864), and the Indian economist and nationalist J. C. Kumarappa (1892–1960). Roy sought to extract from “doctrinal entanglements” the essential ethics of Christian teaching, but his rejection of the concept of the Trinity generated missionary antagonism. Hong Xiuquan fared better, even though he claimed to be a younger brother of Jesus, primarily because of his monotheistic belief in a “true God.” By tapping biblical scriptures, he could both justify opposition to the Manchus and validate his new Heavenly Kingdom on earth. Nearly a century later Kumarappa, a highly educated Christian, understood the Gospel message as supportive of Indian aspirations and implicitly critical of British colonialism—a position that predictably aroused the ire of the church hierarchy. As Sugirtharajah points out, all three men envisaged the Bible as a spiritual tool for Asian peoples, but they read the scriptures selectively in relation to their own goals and interests. Chapter 4 concentrates on a single individual, the Sinhalese nationalist Anagarika Dharmapala (1864–1933), who dismissed the Bible as a mythical, irrelevant, and misleading text, unsuited to Asian societies. Although he roundly denounced colonialism’s missionary allies, he also maintained that a drastically revised version could bring biblical teachings closer to Buddhist ideals. Nonetheless, Sugirtharajah reminds readers that the nationalist Buddhism Dharmapala promoted left little space for cooperation with Sri Lanka’s Hindus and Muslims. The departure point for chapter 5 is Paul’s dominance in the evolution of Christian theology in the West. In Asia, by contrast, Paul has received much less attention. For colonial missionaries his loyalty to Rome and his evangelism among both Jews and Gentiles paralleled their own goals, especially in India; Asian converts were attracted by Paul’s direct experience of a risen Christ, while some Japanese felt that Paul embodied the values associated with samurai culture. Conversely, Asian feminists deplored his misogynist attitudes, while for others his insistence on social hierarchies and his allegiance to Rome provided implicit support for colonialism and the imperialist project. In Christian thinking, Sugirtharajah concludes, the “real” Paul will remain enigmatic.}, keywords = {Barbara Watson Andaya}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Connell2016b, title = {Another perspective on Bennett’s ‘Agreement, dependencies, and Surface Correspondence in Obolo and beyond’}, author = {Bruce Connell}, doi = {10.5842/48-0-679}, year = {2016}, date = {2016-01-01}, journal = {Stellenbosch Papers in Linguistics Plus}, volume = {48}, abstract = {Bennett (2014) presents an analysis of phonotactic restrictions on nasal consonants in Obolo [ann] within the confines of Optimality Theory (OT) and Surface Correspondence (SC).

One of the initial warnings, and certainly the most cited, was given by the linguist Michael Krauss (1992) 1 , who woke us up to the reality of the extinction process that many languages ​​are experiencing today, and the great possibility of the imminent loss of a frightening percentage (90%) of the planet's languages. 2 Fortunately, the mass loss has been less accelerated than originally predicted by Krauss. Even so, today we know that 37% of the world's languages ​​are in the process of being lost, and a significant part of this loss is happening here in Brazil (Simons and Lewis, 2011; Lewis et al, 2013). 3 UNB linguist Aryon Rodrigues (2002) states that language loss has become a global phenomenon. Fifteen years ago, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization warned nations that the world's cultural knowledge is dwindling. The variety of knowledge. With globalization, the process of eliminating minorities in one way or another is intensifying. And that takes away languages ​​and the knowledge that is transmitted through them. And this is a global phenomenon. On the one hand, it is a natural process, as all the languages ​​of the world are always in the process of change, and the abandonment of minority languages ​​in favor of majority languages ​​has been going on since the time when the first human societies began to speak and get in touch with each other. This change is caused by several factors, such as war, death, economy, or simply small cultural decisions that, in the long run, turn into big linguistic steps. But on the other hand, we are, for the first time in history, better understanding the community ramifications (social losses and loss of identity) implicit in these linguistic changes, losses that could be avoided if specific decisions were made in advance by the communities in question. 4 losses that could be avoided if specific decisions were taken in advance by the communities in question. 4 losses that could be avoided if specific decisions were taken in advance by the communities in question. 4}, keywords = {David Eberhard}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {misc} } @article{Eberhard2016bb, title = {A tale of two worlds: A comparative study of language ecologies in asia and the americas}, author = {David Eberhard and Stan Anonby}, year = {2016}, date = {2016-01-01}, volume = {10}, pages = {601 - 628}, abstract = {Language use patterns of individual speech communities are largely conditioned by the different language ecologies in which they are immersed.

While we hold this to be true in a general sense, we suspect that there is little to be gained in arguing about what defines a language area or in determining the exact boundary of this language area (e.g., should it just include the mainland or insular Southeast Asia as well?). What seems much more interesting to us is to gain a better understanding of how convergence happens for specific features, especially phonological and phonetic ones. In this paper, we look in detail at a specific phonological feature, tone, and at two of its phonetic correlates, pitch and voice quality. Based on a database of 197 languages and dialects (Section 2), we assess the extent of tonal diversity in MSEA languages (Section 3) and con-struct a statistical model of the degree to which tonal inventories can be pre-dicted on the basis of geographic proximity, genealogical relatedness and popu-lation size (Section 4). Although it is generally agreed that MSEA languages are highly tonal, this characterization is often based on large national languages. Furthermore, there is often little attention paid to the types of phonetic properties that characterize tonal inventories. To our knowledge, the only systematic attempt to establish a topography of tone in Southeast Asia is Henderson (1965), who looked, among other features, at lexically contrastive pitch, phonation type, and combinations thereof. In this study, Henderson showed convincingly that tone is more preva-lent on the mainland than in the archipelago and that phonation type plays a crucial role in MSEA lexical contrasts. However, because of the state of the field in 1965, Henderson’s observations were only based on 31 MSEA languages, and she had limited access to phonetic data. }, keywords = {James Kirby}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Englund2015, title = {Law, law everywhere}, author = {Harri Englund}, doi = {10.14318/hau5.3.017}, year = {2015}, date = {2015-12-23}, urldate = {2015-12-23}, journal = {HAU Journal of Ethnographic Theory}, volume = {5}, number = {3}, pages = {267-271}, keywords = {Harri Englund}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Deumert2015, title = {Entrevista com Ana Deumert}, author = {Ana Deumert}, doi = {10.5007/1984-8420.2015v16n2p239}, year = {2015}, date = {2015-12-21}, journal = {Working Papers em Linguística}, volume = {16}, number = {2}, pages = {239-241}, abstract = {Os direitos autorais de trabalhos publicados são dos autores, que cedem à Revista Working Papers em Linguística o direito de publicação, ficando sua reimpressão, total ou parcial, sujeita à autorização expressa da Comissão Editorial da revista.

The recognition of a reality that might, in some respects and to some degree, have always been there but was never enregistered in theoretical and methodological frameworks might, in fact, be seen as the most productive outcome of the current debates over whether or not super-diversity is “new.” The perspective is indeed new, but it also allows us to return to old issues armed with some fresh ideas (cf. Blommaert 2015c; Silverstein 2015; Arnaut 2016; Parkin 2016). In what follows, we take these ideas to issues of identity.

Yet, even within these new paradigms, identities are often still understood in dichotomous terms as either micro or macro, individual or social, local or global, etc., with hyphenations allowing for a limited degree of complexity, and with language separated from specific identities by “and”(see, eg, papers in Preece 2016).

It begins with a discussion of what makes a text literary, focussing on some very famous literary works which did not (and indeed do not) necessarily fit what is generally considered the literary canon. The features that translators should identify when first reading a text, on the look-out for potential literary value, are then outlined. These features are both textual (covering non-casual language, rhetorical features and equivalences) and contextual (connotations, implicatures, intratextual and culture-bound associations). The paper then discusses changing translation theory and practice, in particular illustrating points with comments made by translators and theorists in this book and elsewhere. Importance is also given to the profession itself, to literary translator beliefs about their role, the changing importance of the model reader and to changing beliefs about accepted style, making reference also to results of a global survey recently carried out on the subject. Riassunto -L’articolo si propone di esplorare il “letterario” nella traduzione letteraria. Si parte da una discussione di ciò che rende letterario un testo, facendo riferimento ad alcune opere letterarie molto famose che non rientravano (e non rientrano tuttora) in ciò che viene generalmente ritenuto il canone letterario. Si definiscono, poi, gli aspetti che i traduttori dovrebbero individuare leggendo un testo per la prima volta nella prospettiva di ricerca di un potenziale valore letterario. Tali aspetti sono sia testuali (il linguaggio ‘non casuale’, le figure retoriche e le equivalenze) sia contestuali (connotazioni, implicature, associazioni intratestuali e legate alla cultura). L’articolo discute, poi, l’evolversi della teoria e pratica della traduzione, illustrando in particolare alcuni punti commentati da traduttori e teorici di questo volume e al di fuori. Si sottolinea inoltre l’importanza della professione del traduttore e della percezione che il traduttore letterario ha del proprio ruolo, mettendo in evidenza come l’importanza del lettore modello e dei valori relativi a uno stile condiviso stia cambiando, facendo anche riferimento ai risultati di una recente intervista globale sull’argomento.}, keywords = {David Katan}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Theodoropoulou2015b, title = {Intercultural Communicative Styles in Qatar: Greek and Qataris}, author = {Eirini Theodoropoulou}, doi = {10.1007/978-981-287-254-8_2}, isbn = {978-981-287-254-8}, year = {2015}, date = {2015-12-01}, pages = {11-25}, publisher = {Springer, Singapore}, abstract = {This chapter investigates the intercultural communicative styles used by female Qatari students and their Greek instructor in their academic interactions at Qatar University. “Intercultural communicative style,” namely the way we share information with others through language, is seen as both shaping and shaped by oneʼs culture. The two research questions pursued are the following: (1) What are the basic communicative styles used by female Qatari students and their instructor and how are they similar to and different from each other? and (2) how do they contribute toward the construction of these peopleʼs perceptions of culture? My methodology includes linguistic ethnography, translating into participant observation, field notes from both inside and outside the classroom, and ethnographic interviews with my students. In addition, my data include e-mail exchanges in the context of lectures from sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, and language and culture courses I taught at Qatar University during the period 2010–2013, and interview data, where my students are asked to reflect upon their intercultural communicative experience from their interaction with me. The rationale behind having these diverse data is to validate my findings through the comparison between the levels of production (i.e., linguistic behavior inside the classroom) and perception (i.e., what people think they are doing in terms of their intercultural communicative performance). The analysis sheds light on the ways whereby communicative styles help us decipher the whole process of culture construction, and it is set to explore the potential ways whereby sociolinguistics and cultural studies can be used as a means of improving peopleʼs (academic) lives in Qatar and elsewhere.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Eirini Theodoropoulou}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Baider2015, title = {Jean-Marie Le Pen vs. Marine Le Pen: a different 'emotional ethos'?}, author = {Fabienne Baider and Maria Constantinou}, doi = {10.14746 / strop.2015.424.001}, year = {2015}, date = {2015-12-01}, journal = {Study Romanesque Posnaniensia}, volume = {42}, number = {4}, pages = {3}, abstract = {This paper examines how the Front National's electoral victories could be explained, partially, in terms of a new discursive rhetoric adopted by Marine Le Pen.

Using corpus linguistics tools and lexical semantics, we assess how differently both leaders position themselves emotionally and how this emotional positioning is reconstructed within the postings of the viewers. Although no important quantitative difference can be observed in the number of emotion key-words they used respectively, a shift in both politicians' rhetoric positioning can be observed when analyzing the context in which these keywords are embedded.

We analyzed conversational question-answer sequences between caregivers and their children from ages 1;8 to 3;5, finding that children (1) initiate simple answers more quickly than complex ones, (2) initiate simple answers quickly from an early age, and (3) initiate complex answers more quickly as they grow older.

The other is literary scholars’ emphasis on the novel as the privileged genre of narrative in generating moral sentiments such as sympathy and compassion. While anthropologists risk turning a blind eye to their discipline’s past achievements in understanding the complex interplay between customary obligation and moral sentiment, literary scholars foreclose an open discussion about the genres and media by which narrative may generate moral sentiments. The importance of attending to the notion of voice is elaborated through the work of two self-styled grandfathers on Zambian radio who, thirty years apart, performed the same story about strangers within.

At the core of this proposition are three features of hierarchical systems as they are represented across the growing IR literature on the topic. First, the structures of differentiation at the core of hierarchical systems are deeply implicated with power. Hierarchical systems are thus intrinsically political. Second, in world politics, hierarchies stratify, rank, and organize the relations not only among states but also other kinds of actors as well, and often even a mix of different actors within a single structure of differentiation. Third, there are many different kinds of hierarchical relations in world politics, each of which generate different “logics” influencing social, moral, and behavioral outcomes. Hierarchy has been understood in the IR literature in two ways: narrowly, as a relationship of legitimate authority; and broadly, as intersubjective manifestations of organized inequality. Hierarchy operates in a variety of different ways that range from ordering solutions to deep structures. We identify three such “logics” that have been fruitfully explored in IR scholarship and that can form the basis of a future research agenda: hierarchy as an institutionalized functional bargain between actors (a logic of trade-offs); hierarchy as differentiated social and political roles shaping behavior (a logic of positionality); and hierarchy as a productive political space or structure (a logic of productivity).}, keywords = {Ayse Zarakol}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Essegbey2015, title = {Is this my language?}, author = {James Essegbey}, doi = {10.1075/clu.17.06ess}, year = {2015}, date = {2015-10-09}, urldate = {2015-10-09}, pages = {153-176}, publisher = {John Benjamins publishing Company}, abstract = {It used to be taken for granted that language documenters would develop an orthography for the language which they document in cases where no writing system exists already. Such systems facilitate the production of materials for revitalization of the languages. Lately however questions have been raised as to whether the time and money expended in such endeavors are worth it. Two main reasons are that the orthographies are not often used anyway and, where they are successful, since they are often standard orthographies, they destroy variation in languages. In this paper, I argue that standardization goes with literacy development, and is desirable in situations where it is clear that such languages would be used in school situations. However, most languages of endangered communities do not have any prospect of being used in school. Because of this rather than focus on the development of a standard orthography system, documenters should rather develop systems that enable communities to write in the vernacular. Such systems use “orthographic transcription” which minimally ensures the association of sounds with letters. Beyond that, speakers are allowed to write as they speak. This means that colloquial expressions and dialectal differences would be incorporated into the system of writing. The advantage of this system is that adults particularly do not have to spend a long time learning to represent their languages in ways that may not necessarily be the same as the way they speak. I discuss the experience I had with Nyagbo where my development of a vernacular writing system proved more successful with the community than an attempt to develop a standard orthography.}, keywords = {James Essegbey}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Connell2015, title = {The role of colonial languages in language endangerment in Africa}, author = {Bruce Connell}, doi = {10.1075/clu.17.04con}, year = {2015}, date = {2015-10-09}, volume = {107-130}, pages = {107-130}, publisher = {John Benjamins}, abstract = {There has been some discussion in the literature on endangered languages about the role – or lack thereof – of colonial languages in presenting a threat to African languages. The view most often offered suggests that in Africa it has typically been African languages, in the form of national languages and regional lingua francas, that endanger smaller, local languages. If this is the case, the task of linguists concerned with the causes of language endangerment is to understand why Africa has not felt the threat of colonial languages in the same way or to the same extent as other regions of the world, such as the Americas or Australia. In this paper I re-examine the question of the role of colonial languages in language endangerment in Africa. A review of literature on colonialist language ideologies and attitudes towards African languages, together with the results of several sociolinguistic surveys into language choice and attitudes, leads me to question the prevailing view. Whether colonial languages are replacing – i.e. directly replacing – African languages is only part of the story. Their use reduces African languages in terms of both prestige and structure, and this contributes to their endangerment. Finally, and from a more general perspective, the pressure to create a ‘modern nation state’, on a Western (colonial) model, in requiring a single unifying language, must be seen as an important factor in language endangerment in Africa.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Bruce Connell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Baider2015bb, title = {Presidentiality assessment (at the interface of lexical semantics and corpus linguistics)}, author = {Fabienne Baider}, doi = {10,4000 / words 22036}, year = {2015}, date = {2015-10-06}, journal = {Mots}, pages = {103-128}, abstract = {This study is anchored in the theoretical framework proposed by Pierre Cadiot and Yves-Marie Visetti and focuses on the assessment of presidency.

Unlike the primary nation-states, the secondary nation-states were declared into being overnight by political entrepreneurs concerned to ensure that their own territories could deal equally under international law with other such states. These rapid, externally generated processes generated a gap in consciousness between the statesmen and the rest of their populations that had to be closed before the secondary states could begin to fulfil their (mainly economic) international roles. The gap has been bridged by the deliberate engineering of concern for ethnic, gender, linguistic, class, cultural and religious “identity.” An abstract, outward-looking, gesellschaftlich mode of consciousness could now be taken for granted by the people as the unspoken terms on which they must live their lives.

Indeed, reflections on complexity in linguistics until recently have been confined to issues of structural and developmental differences between languages and how those may affect language acquisition and learning (see for example Givon & Shibatami 2009, Kusters 2008, Miestamo et al. 2008). The questions asked within this approach are of interests mainly for researchers involved in creolization, indigenization, contact and historical linguistics who work within structuralist and functionalist perspectives. However, more recently, complexity theory and its implications for the study of language in society have also been introduced to sociolinguists and applied linguists in the light of a more general theoretical-methodological rethinking in the area.

The task of parsing spoken learner-language is important to the domains of automated language assessment (ALA) and computer-assisted language learning (CALL). Due to the non-canonical nature of spoken language (containing filled pauses, non-standard grammatical variations, hesitations and other disfluencies) and compounded by a lack of available training data, spoken language parsing has been a challenge for standard NLP tools. Recently the Redshift parser (Honnibal et al. In: Proceedings of CoNLL (2013)) has been shown to be successful in identifying grammatical relations and certain disfluencies in native speaker spoken language, returning unlabelled dependency accuracy of 90.5% and a disfluency F-measure of 84.1% (Honnibal & Johnson: TACL 2, 131-142 (2014)). We investigate how this parser handles spoken data from learners of English at various proficiency levels. Firstly, we find that Redshift’s parsing accuracy on non-native speech data is comparable to Honnibal & Johnson’s results, with 91.1% of dependency relations correctly identified. However, disfluency detection is markedly down, with an F-measure of just 47.8%. We attempt to explain why this should be, and investigate the effect of proficiency level on parsing accuracy.

On this view, the range of possible vowel systems is constrained only by what is computable and learnable; the range of attested vowel systems is a subset of this, constrained by relative learnability (Hale and Reiss 2000a, Hale and Reiss 2000b; Newmeyer 2005). A system that is easier to learn (e.g., one whose members are more dispersed in perceptual space) is predicted by our model to become more common cross-linguistically over evolutionary time than its less learnable competitors. This analysis efficiently accounts for both the typological patterns found in vowel systems and the existence of a non-trivial number of "unnatural" systems in the world's languages. We compare this model with the leading forms of Dispersion Theory (notably Flemming's (1995) implementation in Optimality Theory), which seek to explain sound patterns in terms of interaction between conflicting functional constraints on maximization of perceptual contrast and minimization of articulatory effort. Dispersion Theory is shown to be unable to generate the attested range of vowel systems or predict their interesting properties, such as the centralization typically found in two-vowel systems and the quality of epenthetic segments.}, keywords = {Bert Vaux}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Meccariello2015, title = {Plutarch’s Sympotic Forge and a Variant Reading in P.Oxy.

The paper first looks at how mediation has been understood in translation, and then investigates a number of issues regarding intervention, both at a theoretical and at a practical level. In theory, as a result of the cultural turn, there should be a more context-based understanding of communication, and hence a more intervenient role for the translator. At a practical level, however, normative roles follow a conduit theory of translation based on language transfer. While academia and the profession wrangle over IM, a number of other options are emerging to cater for the ever-increasing real need for translation and IM. This competition is potentially marginalizing translators and interpreters.

We address this longstanding question from a computational perspective, focusing on the case of sound change. Sound change arises from the pronunciation variability ubiquitous in every speech community, but most such variability does not lead to change. Hence, an adequate model must allow for stability as well as change. Existing theories of sound change tend to emphasize factors at the level of individual learners promoting one outcome or the other, such as channel bias (which favors change) or inductive bias (which favors stability). Here, we consider how the interaction of these biases can lead to both stability and change in a population setting. We find that population structure itself can act as a source of stability, but that both stability and change are possible only when both types of bias are active, suggesting that it is possible to understand why sound change occurs at some times and not others as the population-level result of the interplay between forces promoting each outcome in individual speakers. In addition, if it is assumed that learners learn from two or more teachers, the transition from stability to change is marked by a phase transition, consistent with the abrupt transitions seen in many empirical cases of sound change. The predictions of multiple-teacher models thus match empirical cases of sound change better than the predictions of single-teacher models, underscoring the importance of modeling language change in a population setting.}, keywords = {James Kirby}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @misc{Cardoso2015b, title = {Schuchardt's archive and the 'lost' Asian-Portuguese creoles}, author = {Hugo Cardoso}, year = {2015}, date = {2015-07-07}, abstract = {Tranquebar, Mylapore, and Madras / Chennai), the Bengal region (including modern-day Bangladesh), Burma / Myanmar, and the Indonesian island of Flores.

Nuestro objetivo es mostrar que el modo de interpretación de los signos oníricos es distinto de los signos narrativos y rituales, aun cuando los mismos signos se usen a través de estos medios. Los signos narrativos se anclan en relaciones sintácticas, los signosrituales en relaciones tanto sintácticas como pragmáticas.

Semiotic images are bound to their culture-specific mode of interpretation. Drawing on Pérez Bocanegra’s 1631 discussion of dream interpretation in his Ritual formulario and on contemporary field research in the same parish in which Pérez Bocanegra worked, I show that the semiotic mode of interpretation of Southern Peruvian Quechua dream signs is distinct from that of narrative signs and ritual signs, even when the same signs are deployed across these media. Narrative signs are anchored syntactically, and ritual signs syntactically and pragmatically they have great historical stability than do dream signs, which are relatively fluid.

This includes the employment of the closed-mouth preverbal clitic m to indicate a range of ‘irrealis’ meanings – intentive, purposive, future, imperative, counterfactual, conditional, avertive, and proximative. Analysis of examples taken from dictated Temiar texts and spontaneous speech shows that these meanings all refer to situations thought of as not yet having come about, and therefore as being held subjectively in the imagination. As a speech sound, the completely closed-mouth articulation of [m] is highly suited to express directly the feelings one has when about to do something: the deliberate sonance is itself an action, but it is held back by the lips until ready to be released by opening up to the outside world. However, as a grammatical element in Temiar the ‘irrealis’ clitic m is not always attached to the participant regarded as the locus of that subjectivity, but is displaced instead onto one or more of the other participants. Extra-linguistic reasons are suggested for this. Brief discussion is also accorded to the possible sources and iconic parallels of clitic m in relation to wider Austroasiatic and Austronesian data.}, type = {Research}, keywords = {Geoffrey Benjamin}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {phdthesis} } @article{Baider2015bb, title = {Anne-Marie Gingras (dir.), Genre et Politique dans la presse en France et au Canada}, author = {Fabienne Baider}, doi = {10.4000/lectures.18586}, isbn = {978-2-7605-4128-3}, year = {2015}, date = {2015-07-06}, journal = {Lectures}, abstract = {The book edited by Anne-Marie Gingras is a first.

Specifically, bilinguals seem to allow more optionality in the interpretation of overt subject pronouns in null subject languages, such as Greek, Italian and Spanish while the interpretation of null subject pronouns is indistinguishable from monolingual natives. Nevertheless, there is some evidence pointing to bilingualism effects on the interpretation of null subject pronouns too in heritage speakers' grammars (Montrul, 2004) due to some form of 'arrested' development in this group of bilinguals. The present study seeks to investigate similarities and differences between two Greek Swedish bilingual groups, heritage speakers and L1 attriters, in anaphora resolution of null and overt subject pronouns in Greek using a self-paced listening with a sentence-picture matching decision task at the end of each sentence. The two groups differ in crucial ways: heritage speakers were simultaneous or early bilinguals while the L1 attriters were adult learners of the second language, Swedish. Our findings reveal differences from monolingual preferences in the interpretation of the overt pronoun for both heritage and attrited speakers while the differences attested between the two groups in the interpretation of null subject pronouns affect only response times with heritage being faster than attrited speakers.

After extracting all adult Where and Which questions and child answers from longitudinal videotaped sessions, we examined the timing from the end of each question to the start of the response, and compared the timing for gestures and words. Child responses could take the form of a gesture or word(s); the latter could be words repeated from the adult question or new words retrieved by the child. Or responses could be complex: a gesture + word repeat, gesture + new word, or word repeat + new word. Gestures were the fastest overall, followed successively by word-repeats, then new-word responses. This ordering, with gestures ahead of words, suggests that the child knows what to answer but needs more time to retrieve any relevant words.

The research draws on discourse analysis, in order to develop and implement a multi-perspective framework that allows a closer look at the intentions of the producer/actor of various discourses, power struggles within social domains, in addition to the socio-political and historical contexts which influence the individual repositories of experience that create multiple, often contesting, arguments on controversial issues, consequently giving rise to discursive illusions.

The major findings of this analytical review are five-fold: (1) Both parties have problems approximating each other; (2) Both parties attempt to account for the other's knowledge and disposition; (3) A struggle for control is evident, mainly from the provider's side of the interaction; (4) Providers are better managers of discourse than patients; and (5) How or when providers express emotions has been the primary research focus, and not those of patients.

We propose a unification of these three types, postulating a single formal hierarchy that is not predetermined by UG, but instead arises as an emergent property of the interaction of the three factors of language design introduced by Chomsky (2005), namely UG (F1), Primary Linguistic Data for language acquisition (PLD, F2), and third-factor considerations of cognitive computational conservativity (F3).

We now have fairly good answers to questions like why Africans go to China, the major cities Africans live in and visit, what they do there, and how they are received by the Chinese state and the Chinese people. What has, however, been elusive to date is calculating fairly exact or accurate numbers about Africans in China. Apart from issues about the usefulness of such an enterprise, there are a number of reasons that make this an arduous task, including the fact that accurate and realistic official records hardly exist on the numbers of foreigners in China, the preponderance of 'qualitative' research does not allow for accurate extrapolations of Africans in China based on extensive questionnaire surveys, and the very nature of the linguistic phrase 'Africans in China' may cause confusion whether it means Africans permanently living in China or whether the term includes those on frequent visits as well. In this paper we discuss these and other challenges for quantifying the African presence in China before proposing some methods and strategies that we have used to estimate the numbers of Africans in China in any one year at half a million people, and that we are using to constantly update quantitative measures to continue monitoring the African presence in Greater China.

For a symmetric coherent Σ3 twin boundary, with very low recombination activity, no impurities are detected. In case of a noncoherent (random) high-angle grain boundary and higher order twins with pronounced recombination activity, carbon and oxygen impurities are observed to decorate the interface. Copper contamination is detected for the boundary with the highest recombination activity in this study, a random high-angle grain boundary located in the vicinity of a triple junction. The 3D atom probe tomography study presented here is the first direct atomic scale identification and quantification of impurities decorating grain boundaries in multicrystalline silicon. The observed deviations in chemical decoration and induced current could be directly linked with different crystallographic structures of silicon grain boundaries. Hence, the current work establishes a direct correlation between grain boundary structure, atomic scale segregation information, and electrical activity.

In the present paper, we focus on one specific genre, a small qualitative sample, a product-only approach, and on one specific research question from the financial communication project: why do equity analysts’ company updates for investors fail to reach their communicative potential? We start by systematically contextualizing the genre in the light of the research question (Section 1). Based on a qualitative English sub-corpus (Section 2), we then explain how we used pragmatic text analysis to investigate the texts’ comprehensibility and comprehensiveness in cross-disciplinary communication (Section 3). The results suggest that these texts bear the risk of partial communicative failure (Section 4) and what actions can improve their communicative potential (Section 5).}, keywords = {Daniel Perrin}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @misc{Fina2015bb, title = {De Fina and King DIS}, author = {Anna De Fina and Kendall A.

In sexuality education classes (i.e., classes where sexuality enjoys a sustained pedagogical focus), the same themes arise, but it is through talk that students begin to come to terms with their own identities as sexual subjects in control of their desires. Talk plays a similarly important role during the learning of additional languages, for sexuality cannot be separated from the formation of identities in the new language.

Following Bakhtin (1986), who argues that a genre reflects the social changes taking place in a society, I argue that such an appropriation should be considered as an important sociolinguistic fact that gives us privileged access to Hexagonal France's contemporary sociopolitical dynamics. I show that through their display of heteroglossic repertoires (viz. Maghrebi Arabic, several varieties of vernacular French, Hexagonal standard French, mesolectal African French, stylized chunks of English) comics challenge, at least symbolically, France's monoglot and highly centralized linguistic ideology. They also contribute to unsettling France's Republican model, which is marked by the institutional denial of the social and cultural diversity of the French population. The comics use heteroglossic resources to align with and disalign from multiple chronotopes associated with different social personae. From this emerges a new identity, urban, which both encompasses and transcends racial and ethnic categories. By contrast, I show that this identity is constructed through and received by the nonratified audience with ambivalence.

In particular, this line of research has shown how attention to heteroglossic performances and their local interpretations can illuminate the subtle politics of dominant and nondominant identities in different ethnographic contexts. This is particularly true of what Coupland (2007) calls ‘high performances’, which, as Bell & Gibson (2011:558) write, are privileged sites for allowing participants to indexically associate expressive forms with social personae.

Against this backdrop, the aim of this paper is to investigate the ways politeness is constructed in a context, in which it is not very typical to find politeness in the Western world: The reception of birthday wishes. The focus is on the (para)linguistic reception of birthday wishes on behalf of 400 native Greek users of Facebook, aged between 25–35 years old, as evidenced in the ways they respond to birthday wishes posted on their walls. By using a combination of interactional sociolinguistics, discourse-centered online ethnography and offline ethnographic interviews, I argue that native speakers of Greek do not just stick to the politic behavior found in other languages, like English, of personally thanking their friends for their birthday wishes; rather, they employ contextualization cues, such as shifts in spelling, emoticons and punctuation markers, in order to construct frames and footings of politeness by actually reciprocating the wishes they received from their friends. The value of this study lies not only in being, to my knowledge, the first description and interpretation of an important cultural phenomenon for Greeks, which is the exchange of birthday wishes, but also it contributes towards understanding politeness in online environments, such as Facebook, which in turn is used for establishment and maintenance of interpersonal relationships, hence it can lead to smooth communication.}, keywords = {Eirini Theodoropoulou}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Giles2015i, title = {What Does Successful Aging Sound Like?

In particular, it focuses on the collective challenge undertaken by people in this part of China to keep the water flowing through their land and their communities against many and diverse odds. The main questions it addresses are: How is water shortage experienced and confronted by Chinese citizens? How is water circulated among different people and what kind of cultural practices and institutions do they create in the attempt to meet this very basic human need? What kind of social relationships and relationships with the environment ensue from this attempt? What does it take to keep the water flowing in present day, environmentally degraded rural China? The overarching argument of the dissertation is that if fresh water still remains available in north-eastern Yunnan, this is not solely thanks to State policies or to the rational strategies adopted by public and private entities, but more significantly to the commitment of ordinary villagers and local officials who are doing their best to keep flourishing in what has now become a water-poor area. Because water keeps running thanks largely to the technical knowledge and dedication of ordinary people, it can be said that its management has a human dimension. Relationships of care and dependence, but also of mistrust and antagonism, are implicated in the active project of distributing and allocating fresh water for human use, inflecting the modalities and direction of its course. Securing water for human consumption is, above all else, a cooperative project: one pursued by people who are differently positioned across the social spectrum.

Drawing attention to the dynamic relationship between violence and recovery, pain, and healing, it complicates categories of violence and care that are presumed to have exclusive meaning, illuminating the divergent meanings of, and opportunities for, recovery, and how these are socially configured and sustained.

Accounting for the conceptual and material capacities of infrastructure, the article argues for the importance of paradox in understanding infrastructure. Thematically the article is organized around three key points that speak to the study of infrastructure: ruin, retrofit, and risk. The first paradox of infrastructure, ruin, suggests that even as infrastructure is generative, it degenerates. A second paradox is found in retrofit, an apparent ontological oxymoron that attempts to bridge temporality from the present to the future and yet ultimately reveals that infrastructural solidity, in material and symbolic terms, is more apparent than actual. Finally, a third paradox of infrastructure, risk, demonstrates that while a key purpose of infrastructure is to mitigate risk, it also involves new risks as it comes to fruition.

Beginning with an examination of the "nationalist project" that has been ongoing since the end of the colonial period, French interrogates the "Guatemalan/indigenous binary." In Guatemala, "Ladino" refers to the Spanish-speaking minority of the population, who are of mixed European, usually Spanish, and indigenous ancestry; "Indian" is understood to mean the majority of Guatemala's population, who speak one of the twenty-one languages in the Maya linguistic groups of the country, although levels of bilingualism are very high among most Maya communities. As French shows, the Guatemalan state has actively promoted a racialized, essentialized notion of "Indians" as an undifferentiated, inherently inferior group that has stood stubbornly in the way of national progress, unity, and development - which are, implicitly, the goals of "true Guatemalans" (that is, Ladinos)." "French shows, with useful examples, how constructions of language and collective identity are in fact strategies undertaken to serve the goals of institutions (including the government, the military, the educational system, and the church) and social actors (including linguists, scholars, and activists). But by incorporating in-depth fieldwork with groups that speak Kaqchikel and K'iche' along with analyses of Spanish-language discourses, Maya Ethnolinguistic Identity also shows how some individuals in urban, bilingual Indian communities have disrupted the essentializing projects of multiculturalism.

Different rules apply in the association of a verb with a subject or an object, the association of two nouns into a compound, that of a numeral and classifier, and that of a word and its affixes, for instance. The domain of tonal computation is referred to here as the tone group; tonal processes never apply across tone-group junctures. The present study investigates how utterances are divided into tone groups in Yongning Na, building on examples from narratives and elicited combinations.

The current study is concerned with the implications of such typological properties for second language learning, specifically studying speakers of a satellite-framed language (English) acquiring a verb-framed language (French). We hypothesize that typological differences between source and target languages should present some difficulties to learners. For English learners of French, an additional difficulty should result from the fact that French is not entirely consistent in its patterning, allowing English-like lexicalization patterns in some cases, but not in others.

This research discusses the content of communication messages about Australian universities propagated in the period following the implementation of new national student participation goals. It argues that despite the stated policy objectives and increasing public rhetoric about broadening access to university such messages continued to position universities as elite and exclusive, while vocational training colleges continued to be promoted as having less rigorous academic standards suited to those who aspire to develop trade employment skills. Australian universities are part of a wider communication system that includes other tertiary education organisations including the vocational education sector, State and Federal Governments and the news and information media. The communication of messages about the value of higher education and differences between institutions in this system contributes to the formation of public beliefs and attitudes. The paper argues that the persistence of communication practices and messages that promote the superiority of university and the low success rates of students from disadvantaged backgrounds contributes to the persistence of entrenched views about post-secondary education. The limited discursive framing of university education in Australia in those messages is likely to prevent universities from increasing the participation rates of students from non-traditional higher education backgrounds and thus undermine national educational and associated economic goals, while contributing to an increasing social divide where educational achievement is the fault line.}, keywords = {Collette Snowden}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Michaud2015i, title = {Locky's Naxi-English Encyclopedia Pinyin System and International Phonetic Alphabet}, author = {Alexis Michaud and Boyd Michailovsky and Xueguang He}, url = {https://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/halshs-00376259}, year = {2015}, date = {2015-01-26}, volume = {4}, pages = {119-124}, abstract = {This article provides a concise introduction to facilitate readers to better understand the phonetic system used by Joseph Locke in his Naxi English Dictionary (Rock 1963 1972).

Just as vernacularism was not nativism, African aspirations that posed no direct challenge to the colonial order did not necessarily entail mimicry. I show also how Europeans who debated a newspaper for Africans in the 1930s Zambia voiced diverse approaches to print culture, addressing a variety of objectives. The newspaper that emerged, Mutende, was replaced by provincial newspapers in the 1950s, and I focus on one of these: the Chinyanja-language Nkhani za kum'mawa, published under African editorship in Eastern Province between 1958 and 1965. Its modes of addressing African publics were neither nationalist nor colonial in any straightforward senses. Its editors and readers deliberated on what it meant to be from the province in an era of labor migration, how African advancement and dependence on Europeans were to be envisaged, and how relationships between women and men should be reconfigured. To hold divergent views on a world in flux, they had to keep something constant, and the order of governance itself remained beyond dispute. But this did not preclude emergent possibilities.

Our case study looks at how polar questions are confirmed. For confirming a polar question like ‘Have they gone?’, all languages provide two basic alternatives: an interjection type strategy (something like ‘Yes’) and a repetition type strategy (something like ‘They have gone’). Combinations of these are also possible. Does selection of one of these options have a definable pragmatic function? An analysis of cases from English telephone calls shows that interjection type confirmations are used when the confirmation is relatively straightforward in interactional terms, and where the epistemic terms of the question are accepted by the person who is confirming. By contrast, repetition type confirmations are associated with pragmatic functions where the answerer is in some way resisting the epistemic terms of the question, or dealing with a perturbation of the interactional sequence. We argue that the inherent semiotics of the two strategies explain why they have this distribution; i.e., we do not expect that interjection forms would be standardly used for non-straightforward confirmations, etc. In other words, the form-function mapping observed in English is a non-arbitrary one. Given that this semiotic motivation for choosing one over the other alternative for confirming polar questions should be present in other languages as well, we predict that the mapping observed in English will be observed in other languages as well.}, keywords = {Jack Sidnell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Theodoropoulou2015bb, title = {Intercultural communicative style in Qatar: Greek and Qataris.

The discussion here focuses on four topics related to communication: communicating gang identity and activities; communicating loyalty and commitment through socialization; communicating adults' expectations to youth; and the influence of media on youths' aspiration for gang membership.

The question therefore remains, why some societies were able to cope and create subcultures of disaster, while others could not.

But, Quine observers, the linguist’s equivalence, gavagai= rabbit is not warranted by the stimulus. For example, it might be a guess on the part of the linguist’s interlocutor, as rabbits had been seen in the area; it might be rather “animal,” its color,“rabbit flies,”“it runs,” and so forth. These can be tested by aligning the linguist’s “stimulus meanings” with the interlocutor’s. But even were the linguist to pin down precisely what objects are pointed to, it would not disambiguate the reference as we cannot be certain that “gavagai” denotes “rabbit” rather than “undetached rabbit parts.” Here Quine suggests that the denotational treatment of “rabbit” as an integral whole is a product of the obligatory grammatical categories of English (in the Boasian sense; Jakobson 1959; Whorf 1945).}, keywords = {Bruce Mannheim}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Mannheim2015e, title = {Wak'as: Entifications of the Andean Sacred}, author = {Bruce Mannheim and Guillermo Salas Carreño}, editor = {Tamara Bray}, doi = {10.5876/9781607323181.c003}, isbn = {9781607323181}, year = {2015}, date = {2015-01-01}, urldate = {2015-01-01}, pages = {46-72}, publisher = {University of Colorado Press}, keywords = {Bruce Mannheim}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{King2015b, title = {Reclaiming masculinity in an account of lived intersex experience: Language, desire, and embodied knowledge}, author = {Brian King}, editor = {Tommaso Milani}, doi = {10.4324/9781315759357}, isbn = {9781138791961}, year = {2015}, date = {2015-01-01}, urldate = {2015-01-01}, pages = {220-242}, publisher = {Routledge}, chapter = {11}, abstract = {This paper applies a queer lens to one person’s account of an intersex body and self in order to examine the ‘intersections’ of masculinity with constructions of biologically grounded innateness. The approach taken to the analysis of discourse is poststructuralist in orientation, drawing on data from media interviews and group discussion recordings. Its application reveals the limitations of the social category ‘man’ as a location for masculinity. Through narrative and talk in interaction the informant strategically mobilises normative discourses of masculinity, appropriating these dominant discourses and constructing a subject position as intersex while drawing upon binary terminology (both biological and social) in order to construct a non-binary body and self. The examination of masculinity in this person’s case cannot be separated from questions of the innate. This is because innate difference forms an important part of the informant’s experience with masculinity. To some extent, masculinity and femininity ‘float free’ of body parts or characteristics which have been consolidated as direct indexes of maleness and femaleness, yet this case study supports the idea that the freedom to float has limits.

Video recordings have enabled researchers to better understand the coordination of modalities in terms of simultaneity and sequentiality.

In other cases, he argues, people do speculate about their own intentions or guess the intentions of others, including in some societies where it was previously assumed they avoid doing so. To account for such variation, Duranti proposes an 'intentional continuum', a concept that draws from phenomenology and the detailed analysis of face-to-face interaction.

The word authentic brings to mind something that is real, natural, and original.

Mary Bucholtz and Kira Hall have challenged this view in a series of articles (Bucholtz 2003, Bucholtz and Hall 2005). First, they argue that we should turn our attention from authenticity to authentication. This requires us to analyze authenticity as an outcome of linguistic practices and take a close look at the semiotic processes through which authenticity is produced. Second, since identity is a relational phenomenon, we ought to study authentication in tandem with denaturalization, which calls attention to the ways in which claims to the “inherent rightness of identities”(Bucholtz and Hall 2005: 602) are subverted. Researchers (eg, Jaffe 2009, Shenk 2007) have taken heed of these insights and used discourse data to examine the use of linguistic resources to assert or challenge claims to authenticity in social interaction. This case study takes a different approach: it analyzes metadiscursive data from print and social media to illuminate the popular use of linguistics in the authentication and denaturalization of identity.

Anchored by the history of the Kapitan Kling Mosque, the narrative traces the fortunes of Penang’s Tamil Muslim community in over 500 richly illustrated pages, from 1786 until the declaration of Malaya’s independence in 1957. The material is organized in six parts, each subdivided into chapters. Part One discusses the long-standing role of the Chulias in maritime trade, their position as Muslims in India, and early Chulia settlement in Penang, introducing readers to the Kapitan Kling mosque and the Chulia ‘captain’, Cauder Mohuddeen. The second part concentrates on the first half of the nineteenth century, using case studies to track the evolution of a new ‘Jawi Pekan’ identity as Chulia men married local women. Part Three begins with the British Government’s assumption of authority over former East India Company possessions in 1867. The management of Muslim endowments—buildings, lands and institutions—became progressively more subject to British oversight, with inevitable controversies and compromises. The fourth part highlights Chulia involvement in Islamic reformist movements and the Muhammadan Advisory Board, while the outbreak of World War and associated anti-colonialism drew some Chulia towards Pan-Islam and Indian nationalism. Part Five focuses on Chulia business activities, especially in relation to trade and shipping, where Tamil Muslim specialization was everywhere evident. A final section deals with the Penang experience during in the Second World War. The book concludes with a discussion of the new questions faced by Chulia descendants, initially uneasily positioned between the demands of their Indian heritage and their allegiance to independent Malaya in 1957, but for the most part successfully adjusting to the new order.

It has also opened up avenues for further research, especially for those who can read Tamil, such as Chulia relations with the Nattukottai Chettiar, the powerful Indian financier caste. Of course, organizing this wide-ranging body information posed challenges, and the chapter divisions in some of the six parts cohere better than others. A degree of overlap was probably inevitable, so that there is some repetition of names of locations, events and individuals, but the index is a useful tool for researchers tracking a particular topic. The text is clear and eminently accessible, carefully referenced, with all the necessary explanatory notes. The illustrations, from private collections, archives and family albums, represent an unparalleled depository of visual sources on Penang, with captions that help identify people and places. Urban renewal in the 1920s and early 1930s transformed much of the waqf areas, as old areas were razed and communities displaced, while the destruction of buildings by Allied bombs during the Second World War makes the photographs of buildings that are no longer extant all the more valuable. The thoughtful foreword by Professor Rajeswary Ampalavanar Brown combines scholarship and readability, setting the tone for the entire book. Produced with the assistance of Think City, the price is extremely reasonable for such an encyclopedic volume, and Areca Books should be congratulated for a superb production overall. One of the ‘take-aways’ from this book is obviously the Chulia contribution to Penang’s economy and its cosmopolitan culture. Their connections with India and the surrounding region helped make Penang a global pathway, the crossroads for incoming ideas, especially in regard to Islam, but also in many other aspects, from mamak cuisine to popular entertainment like the Boria or Bangsawan. At the same time, the Chulia community developed a strong sense of local identity, much of which can be attributed to Cauder Mohuddeen, his descendants and their families.}, keywords = {Barbara Watson Andaya}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Frellesvig2015, title = {Differential Object Marking in Old Japanese}, author = {Bjarke Frellesvig and Stephen W.

For my part, I want to focus on the self as social agent or as active participant in social interaction and how addictions to intoxicants emerge in the course of social interaction as surrogates for that self. My argument is that by so doing, we may begin to address an element of addiction that, while central to the meaning of this concept, has proven equally elusive to both the biomedical and the social sciences of addiction. That is, the identification of instances in which people are empirically observed not only to have engaged in socially disapproved or even dangerous drug use but to have actually succumbed to addiction, or to have lost control of their drug use. Because it is in and through social interaction with one another, rather than esoteric analyses of our minds or bodies, that evidence of addiction is normally gathered, a systematic understanding of what counts as interactional evidence of addiction should be a particularly important scientific priority. }, keywords = {Darin Weinberg}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Haberland2014, title = {The position of danish, English and other languages at danish universities in the context of danish society}, author = {Hartmut Haberland and Bent Preisler}, doi = {10.21832/9781783092765-004}, isbn = {9781783092765}, year = {2014}, date = {2014-12-05}, urldate = {2014-12-05}, pages = {15-42}, publisher = {Multilingual Matters }, abstract = {Ranked lists (Wee, 2011) and language hierarchies (Risager, 2012) are in vogue.

In particular, the analysis of their discursive practices for constructing differently their political arguments (defensive resentment vs persecuting hatred) are based on different emotions as well (contempt vs. pride) while appealing to the same argumentative stance (the cults of origins for instance). Indeed, if they both deliver the same nationalistic discourse of “reciprocal exclusion”, Marine Le Pen’s persona, discourse and behaviour are based, as will be argued here, on a “defensive resentment”, focusing on the Self via the emotion of pride. On the other hand, Golden Dawn’s leader, Nikos Michaloliakos, uses gestures, speeches and symbols, which encourage a virulent “persecuting hatred”, focusing on the despised Other via the emotion of contempt.

This interdisciplinary research project brings together architecture and sociolinguistics students and faculty members to develop a socio-cultural understanding and interpretation of the structures, designs, and physical dimensions of traditional elements employed by the members of the traditional society of Qatar from two complementary perspectives. The focus of this study is on identifying the multiple meanings and physical representations associated with elements of architecture, exemplified in the case of Qatari traditional architecture. These multiple meanings are dealt with from both architectural and multimodal discursive perspectives. The rationale behind this interdisciplinary approach is the fact that these two approaches are complementary to each other. This is because architecture spaces and elements act as a field and context where peoples' practices and activities take place, Hence, these practices are intricately interwoven with the architectural, i.e. structural and design, peculiarities of the individual spaces. One hundred Qatari traditional elements were selected for the purpose of this investigation within a framework of multimodal analysis. This approach takes into consideration the multiple modes through which meanings are constructed, i.e. building materials, structures and shapes of buildings, types of people who are entitled to use a particular building, activities that are organized around a space, to mention just a few. The project offers the opportunity to undergraduate students and faculty members from diverse disciplines to collaborate in an interdisciplinary research project, and thus to benefit from each other's background knowledge, ideas, and skills. The study recommends that this multidisciplinary approach be applied in undergraduate, postgraduate and other scholarly research pertaining to the study of traditional architecture and urban heritage.

Moreover, Freemasons’ marginalization of women betrays how deep-rooted exclusivity compromises their guiding principle of universal brotherhood. It is among the social networks of women who nevertheless gravitate to Freemasonry’s official auxiliary societies and to mixed-gender or women-only lodges not sanctioned by Freemasonry’s paramount governing body that Mahmud conducts a form of ethnography she terms “profane”—mostly (but not always) outside sacred ritual spaces.

One of the most important effects of globalization has been the heightened centrality of transnationalism (Vertovec, 2009), as not only do people move more often and in higher numbers from one geographical area to another, but they are also afforded greater opportunities to maintain contacts with their places of origin. Thus, members of transnational communities often “become involved in the chronic maintenance”(Rouse, 2004, p. 30) of different worlds, a process fraught with ambiguities and contradictions. Indeed, while languages and identities are traditionally defined in mainstream discourses in either/or terms, the experience of transnational people is always one of in-betweenness. Recent research on transnational and new urban communities points indeed to widespread tendencies toward the incorporation of notions of diversity in their everyday practices (see Blommaert & Rampton, 2011) as a result of continued contact and interaction. Thus, people in situations where movement across different geographical areas and/or contact with other ethnicities and languages are the norm tend to creatively incorporate diversity in their everyday lives, navigating between old and new identity categories and conflicting language ideologies.}, keywords = {Anna De Fina}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Giles2014b, title = {Going to extremes: Social identity and communication processes associated with gang membership}, author = {Howard Giles and Liran Goldman and Michael A.

The analysis set out here (i) proposes a new type of NPI, namely an infinitive; (ii) reinforces the disengagement between morphological negation and antiveridicality; (iii) highlights parallels with Romance polarity subjunctives, which, like the infinitive, also share a T-C dependency; the latter may have rendered the Romeyka infinitive diachronically more prone to developing a neg-dependency too (Sitaridou, 2014).}, keywords = {Ioanna Sitaridou}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Dalakoglou2014bb, title = {Infrastructural flows, interruptions and stasis in Athens of the crisis}, author = {Dimitris Dalakoglou and Yannis Kallianos}, doi = {10.1080/13604813.2014.939473}, year = {2014}, date = {2014-09-01}, journal = {City: analysis of urban trends}, volume = {18}, number = {(4-5)}, pages = {526-532}, abstract = {The paper discusses infrastructural flows enacted/activated in the context of the crisis in Athens, focusing on waste flows and treatment.

Some findings suggest that early successive bilingual children may pattern similarly to simultaneous bilingual children, passing through different trajectories from child L2 learners due to a later age of onset in the latter group. Studies on bilingual development have also shown that input quantity in bilingual acquisition is considerably reduced, i.e., in each of their two languages, bilingual children are likely exposed to much less input than their monolingual peers (Paradis & Genesee, 1996; Unsworth, 2013b). At the same time, simultaneous bilingual children develop and attain competence in the two languages, sometimes without even an attested age delay compared to monolingual children (Paradis, Genesee & Crago, 2011). The implication is that even half of the input suffices for early language development, at least with respect to ‘core’ aspects of language, in whatever way ‘core’ is defined. My aim in this article is to consider how an additional, linguistic variable interacts with age of onset and input in bilingual development, namely, the timing in L1 development of the phenomena examined in bilingual children’s performance. Specifically, I will consider timing differences attested in the monolingual development of features and structures, distinguishing between early, late or ‘very late’ acquired phenomena. I will then argue that this three-way distinction reflects differences in the role of narrow syntax: early phenomena are core, parametric and narrowly syntactic, in contrast to late and very late phenomena, which involve syntax-external or even language-external resources too. I explore the consequences of these timing differences in monolingual development for bilingual development. I will review some findings from early (V2 in Germanic, grammatical gender in Greek), late (passives) and very late (grammatical gender in Dutch) phenomena in the bilingual literature and argue that early phenomena can differentiate between simultaneous and (early) successive bilingualism with an advantage for the former group, while the other two reveal similarly (high or low) performance across bilingual groups, differentiating them from monolinguals. The paper proposes that questions about the role of age of onset and language input in early bilingual development can only be meaningfully addressed when the properties and timing of the phenomena under investigation are taken into account.}, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Tsimpli2014c, title = {Early, late or very late: Timing acquisition and bilingualism: A reply to peer commentaries}, author = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, doi = {10.1075/lab.4.3.17tsi}, year = {2014}, date = {2014-08-12}, urldate = {2014-08-12}, journal = {Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism}, volume = {4}, number = {3}, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @book{Benjamin2014b, title = {Announcing a new book: "Temiar Religion, 1964-2012: Enchantment, Disenchantment and Re-enchantment in Malaysia's Uplands"}, author = {Geoffrey Benjamin}, doi = {10.2307/j.ctv1qv345}, isbn = {9789971697068}, year = {2014}, date = {2014-08-01}, publisher = {NUS Press}, abstract = {The Temiars, a Mon-Khmer-speaking Orang Asli society living in the uplands of northern Peninsular Malaysia, have long attracted popular attention in the West for reports that ascribed to them the special psychotherapeutic known as ‘Senoi Dreamwork’. However, the reality of Temiar religion and society, as studied and recorded by Geoffrey Benjamin over 50 years, is even more fascinating than that popular portrayal – which is shown to be based on a serious misrepresentation of Temiar practice. When Benjamin first lived in the isolated villages of the Temiars between 1964 and 1965, he encountered a people who lived by swidden farming supplemented by hunting and fishing. They practised their own unexportable, localised animistic religion in an area where the main religion of civilisation was formerly Mahayana Buddhism and is now Islam. Fifty years later, the Temiars have become much more embedded in broader Malaysian society, while retaining their distinctive way of life, including continuing involvement with their complex shamanic religion. Benjamin’s ongoing fieldwork in the 1970s, 1990s and 2000s followed the Temiars through processes of religious dis-enchantment and re-enchantment, as they reacted in various ways to the advent of Baha’i, Islam and Christianity. Some Temiars even developed a new religion of their own.

On the one hand, it falls short as a causal explanation, conflating internalisation with socialisation, and socialisation with compliance. On the other hand, it reproduces existing hierarchies in the international system, treating only non-compliance as endogenously driven, but compliance as a result of external stimuli.

Although this mode of education has been conventionally adopted in special settings, recent developments in deaf education also attempt to incorporate sign bilingualism into mainstream settings supported by co-enrollment practices. Such attempts imply that sign bilingualism transcends the physical boundaries defined by segregation and inclusion in deaf education, and that co-enrollment draws on not only DHH students’ but also hearing students’ existing linguistic, intellectual, as well as psychosocial resources in the process of mutually supporting each other’s bilingual education (see Hintermair, Chapter 7 of this volume). One crucial question regarding educating DHH students in a mainstream setting is whether social integration between DHH and hearing students can be achieved. This question derives from concerns about DHH students experiencing difficulty in integration or gaining social membership when educated in a majority hearing school community (Keating & Mirus, 2003; McKee, 2008; Stinson & Antia, 1999; Tvingstedt, 1995).}, keywords = {Gladys Tang}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Clark2014b, title = {Speaker Perspective and Lexical Acquisition}, author = {Eve Vivienne Clark}, doi = {10.3765/bls.v20i1.1469}, year = {2014}, date = {2014-06-25}, urldate = {2014-06-25}, journal = {Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society}, volume = {20}, number = {1}, abstract = {Speaker perspective and lexical acquisition - Eve V.

This is a novel situation involving cross-linguistic and cross-cultural communication dynamics that we need to understand from different research perspectives: linguistic, socio-economic, and legal, among others. Academic studies are already detailing some misunderstandings between Chinese customs, immigration and public security officials and African travellers and immigrants, who are clearly a visible minority group, both at border check points and in the wider Chinese communities (Bodomo 2010; Bodomo and Ma 2010; Bodomo 2012). A number of questions may be asked towards understanding the cross-cultural dynamics involved in this novel situation. What are Chinese immigration and customs officials’ experiences with African travellers and how do they see and handle this visible minority ethnic group? What are, in turn, African experiences with Chinese immigration, customs, and public security, officials both at border check points and in the wider Chinese communities in places like mainland China and Hong Kong? To answer these questions, a profile of the most frequent African visitors to Hong Kong and China is constructed, based on research among Africans in China, particularly Guangzhou. An outline is then made of what Africans think of Chinese customs and immigration officials as a whole, what kind of treatment they expect on arrival in China and how they prepare for it. It is then claimed that the most fundamental issue that causes friction, unhappiness and sometimes lack of cooperation from African travellers at immigration and customs check points in Hong Kong and other places in China is not so much due to linguistic and cultural misunderstanding as it is due to stereotyping and, in extreme cases, (un)conscious racial profiling. Finally, it is proposed that the best way for Hong Kong and other Chinese customs personnel to serve African immigrants is to apply immigration rules using systematically fair, just and colour-blind strategies.}, keywords = {Adams Bodomo}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @conference{Stoffers2014, title = {Grain boundary characterization in multicrystalline silicon using joint EBSD, EBIC, and atom probe tomography}, author = {Andreas Stoffers and Oana Cojocaru-Mirédin and Otwin Breitenstein and Winfried Seifert and Stefan Zaefferer and Dierk Raabe}, doi = {10.1109/PVSC.2014.6925089}, year = {2014}, date = {2014-06-09}, booktitle = {2014 IEEE 40th Photovoltaic Specialist Conference (PVSC)}, pages = {0042-0046}, publisher = {IEEE}, abstract = {The efficiency of multicrystalline silicon solar cells suffers from the presence of extended defects like dislocations and grain boundaries.

For that, electron beam induced current is used to characterize the recombination activity at the grain boundaries, while electron backscatter diffraction is used to map the grain boundary crystallography.

Finally, atom probe tomography is used to reveal the 3D distribution of the impurities at the selected grain boundary.

High-functioning autistic (HFA) individuals are frequently reported to express difficulty with understanding others' communicative intentions and emotions. The source of this deficit is difficult to pinpoint, since affective and social processes are diverse and primarily defined by what they are not (cognitive). Purpose of the Study. Our goal was to understand (i) where the affective and social interaction domain breaks down in HFA and whether social cognition and emotion-regulation abilities in HFA adults are (dis)continuous with those observed in HFA children, and (ii) highlight a possible dissociation between cognitive and social-affective subparts in the Theory of Mind construct through HFA. Method. Eleven HFA adults, ten HFA children and two groups of chronological age-matched controls participated in the Cyberball game, a method of inducing ostracism in laboratory settings. Each participant identified with a computerized agent participating in ball-tossing with two other players. The participant either received the ball (inclusion condition), or got completely excluded (exclusion condition). After the game, participants were asked to fill a reflexive questionnaire assessing their perceived social needs and emotions. Findings and Results. Several features of social adaptation in the ostracized condition were found to be unimpaired in both HFA groups when compared with the controls. However, HFA participants' emotional responses to the Cyberball game were found to be disproportionally inappropriate, with HFA adults showing gross deviations from the pattern exhibited by their age-matched controls in perceived emotions. Conclusions. The findings point towards a discontinuity between social cognition and affect in HFA. Crucially, this dissociation was found to be more striking in HFA adults relative to HFA children. }, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @book{Katan2014, title = {Translating cultures: An introduction for translators, interpreters and mediators}, author = {David Katan}, doi = {10.4324/9781315759692}, isbn = {9781315759692}, year = {2014}, date = {2014-06-03}, publisher = {Routledge}, abstract = {As the 21st century gets into stride so does the call for a discipline combining culture and translation.

The core of the book provides a model for teaching culture to translators, interpreters and other mediators. It introduces the reader to current understanding about culture and aims to raise awareness of the fundamental role of culture in constructing, perceiving and translating reality. Culture is perceived throughout as a system for orienting experience, and a basic presupposition is that the organization of experience is not 'reality', but rather a simplified model and a 'distortion' which varies from culture to culture. Each culture acts as a frame within which external signs or 'reality' are interpreted. The approach is interdisciplinary, taking ideas from contemporary translation theory, anthropology, Bateson's logical typing and metamessage theories, Bandler and Grinder's NLP meta-model theory, and Hallidayan functional grammar.

In this article, I argue that the use of ‘superdiverse’ as a descriptive adjective is a theoretical cul-de-sac, because the complexities brought about by diversity in the social world ultimately defy numerical measurement (as it would require infinitely more fine-grained categories of difference). Consequently, superdiversity is best used as a conceptual device, that is, as a theoretical perspective on language and social life (e.g. Blommaert and Rampton 2011). As a conceptual tool, rather than an empirical fact, superdiversity is part of a broader concern in contemporary sociolinguistics to develop a new theoretical vocabulary. The articles collected in this special issue respond to this call and illustrate the diversities of digital engagement. However, while superdiversity directs our attention towards complexity and unpredicability, the papers collected also draw attention to a counter-movement: a persistent desire for normativity and predictability. In the final section of the article, I suggest that it would be fruitful to bring together on-going work on superdiversity with equally on-going work on creativity, as both share a focus on the unexpected and creative uses of language. Both thus provide a counter-narrative to the desire for normativity and predictability, and allow us to develop a theoretical perspective which moves beyond statistical patterns and conventions, and recognizes language as a fundamentally open system.}, keywords = {Ana Deumert}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Jourdan2014, title = {Pijin and shifting language ideologies in urban Solomon Islands}, author = {Christine Jourdan and Johanne Angeli}, doi = {10.1017/S0047404514000190}, year = {2014}, date = {2014-06-01}, journal = {Language in Society}, volume = {43}, number = {3}, pages = {265-285}, abstract = {Through the analysis of the various language ideologies that have shaped the sociolinguistic history of Pijin, the lingua franca of Solomon Islands, this article attempts to shed light on the peculiar complexity of the postcolonial linguistic situations where more prestigious and less prestigious languages coexist in the same sociological niche.

A number of studies have shown that familiarity with print is positively correlated to greater word recognition abilities. Therefore, one could argue that an enriched vocabulary may be due, in part, to greater familiarity with written language. To assess individual differences in print exposure, the Author Recognition Test (ART) and the Magazine Recognition Test (MRT) (Stanovich & West 1989) have extensively been used. Both measurements employ a signal-detection logic, in which participants are required to recognize actual target items (real authors and real magazines), when they are embedded among foils (names that are not authors or magazine titles, respectively). Stainthorp (1997) proposed that the ART and MRT are culturally sensitive instruments and highlighted the need to develop culturally specific equivalents. Thus, the aim of this study is twofold: (1) to develop the ART and the MRT checklist adapted to the Greek culture; and (2) to assess relation between familiarity with written language and word recognition abilities. Participants, 70 male and female Greek adults (age range = 18–81, mean age = 40.85), completed three measurements of print exposure, the ART, MRT (Stanovich & West 1989) and a modified version of the Reading Habits Self-Report (Acheson, Wells & MacDonald 2008).

A common view is that there are two varieties with separate origins: a Bantu language-based variety, called Iscamtho, and an Afrikaans-based variety called Tsotsitaal that has decreased in use because of the unpopularity of Afrikaans. This article examines the origins and relationship between these two varieties by investigating the social history of Bantu- and Afrikaans-based varieties in two townships east of Johannesburg: Stirtonville (a mixed-race township) and its successor, Vosloorus, to where, Bantu language speaking Stirtonville residents were forcibly moved in 1964. Young men who were old enough to participate in male youth street social networks in Stirtonville mainly used an Afrikaans-based slang. When Stirtonville residents moved to Vosloorus, the grammatical base of the male youth variety shifted from Afrikaans to Zulu and South Sotho. These findings suggest that the Afrikaans and Bantu language-based youth varieties are not separate phenomena with different origins. Rather, they support more recent work on male youth communicative practices showing that these informal varieties are not separate languages, but manifestations of one phenomenon, a performative style of speaking among young men involving the insertion of a slang lexicon into a local language.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Brookes2014c, title = {Male youth talk in the construction of black lesbian identities}, author = {Heather Brookes}, doi = {10.2989/16073614.2014.992641}, year = {2014}, date = {2014-04-03}, urldate = {2014-04-03}, journal = {Southern African Linguistics and Applied Language Studies}, volume = {32}, number = {2}, pages = {199-214}, abstract = {This study focuses on young black lesbians’ use of male township youth’s ways of talking. Data come from ethnographic work among four lesbians in a township near Mafikeng, the capital city of North-West province in South Africa. Our analysis draws on audio- and videorecorded spontaneous interactions, observation, and interviews. The participants use a limited repertoire of well-known lexical items considered part of what is sometimes referred to as tsotsitaal or by its male users as go ringa1 ‘to talk.’ They also engage in ritual verbal duelling associated with male youth interactions. Lesbians who self-identify as butch draw on the tsotsitaal lexicon to enact a streetwise township identity and to express their sexual identities and roles in their lesbian partnerships. Lesbians, who self-identify as femme, avoid using the tsotsitaal lexicon. Since our participants do not use tsotsitaal in a unified way, we conclude that lesbians do not ‘speak tsotsitaal,’ and there is no identifiable language unique to them.

Critically, the local-global dimension has an inherent interference resolution component, a type of cognitive control, and left-prefrontal-cortex-damaged (LPFC) individuals have exhibited inability to override habitual response behaviors in item recognition tasks that involve representational interference (Hamilton & Martin, 2005; Novick, Trueswell, & Thompson-Schill, 2005). However, very little is known about how the local-global attentional dimension affects LPFC-damaged individuals with aphasia in language and non-language domains that involve cognitive control mechanisms. Methods Eight patients with damage in the left PFC and twenty age- and education-matched language-unimpaired adults have participated in the study. Non-verbal tasks included an online Global-Local Identification task (designed after Navon, 1977) asking from participants to identify global geometrical shapes, which were made up of smaller (local) geometrical configurations while inhibiting local ones, and vice versa. In congruent trials, local and global shapes coincided whereas in incongruent trials they did not. Apart from the local and global condition, the task included a mixed local-global condition, in which participants were asked to identify global and local shapes interchangeably. Participants’ updating functions were independently measured by an online 2-back digit task where individuals were presented with digit sequences and were asked to respond by pressing a pre-specified key once a digit matched the digit occurring two digits earlier. The study also involved four online language tasks: (a) a task testing the interpretation of pronouns (Peristeri & Tsimpli, 2013) in globally ambiguous sentential contexts, (b) a task testing the interpretation of homophones in sentences requiring global processing, (c) a task testing the participants’ sensitivity to local, grammatical gender conflicts of single words in a picture-word interference task, and, (d) a task testing participants’ sensitivity to local orthographic violations in the stems and suffixes of single words in a semantic judgment task. Results In the Global-Local Identification task, LPFC-damaged patients with non-fluent aphasia performed more poorly in both accuracy (42% correct) and RTs on the local incongruent trials—where identification of the local shape presupposed inhibition of the global configuration—than any other global incongruent or congruent category. Controls were slower (but accurate) in local incongruent trials. On the other hand, PFC-damaged patients (along with controls) performed at ceiling level in the 2-back digit task, thus, indicating no deficit in their updating abilities. With respect to the language tasks, the patients performed more poorly in RTs in the tasks tapping on the integration of local cues relative to the tasks where conflict resolution was critically dependent on the parser’s sensitivity to global context. Discussion Overall, the local-global dimension seems to critically influence the performance of LPFC-damaged individuals with non-fluent aphasia in both language and non-language domains. A possible interpretation is that participants were able to override conflict more easily in tasks tapping on global than local processing. Broader implications for distinct types of inhibitory processes depending on the level of processing will be discussed.}, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Lupke2014b, title = {When number meets classification.

In line with observations made for Bantu and other Atlantic languages, we analyse number marking within the noun class system (and, to some extent also through the number suffix) as derivational, not inflectional. Additionally, we demonstrate that number values do not reside in noun class prefixes themselves, but arise through the paradigmatic relationships holding between prefix and root and between prefix-root combinations in a paradigm.

However, many studies that have advanced this claim have subsequently been criticized on methodological grounds, calling incomplete neutralization into question. In three production experiments and one perception experiment we address these methodological criticisms. In the first production study, we address the role of orthography. In a large scale auditory task using pseudowords, we confirm that neutralization is indeed incomplete and suggest that previous null results may simply be due to lack of statistical power. In two follow-up production studies (Experiments 2 and 3), we rule out a potential confound of Experiment 1, namely that the effect might be due to accommodation to the presented auditory stimuli, by manipulating the duration of the preceding vowel. While the between-items design (Experiment 2) replicated the findings of Experiment 1, the between-subjects version (Experiment 3) failed to find a statistically significant incomplete neutralization effect, although we found numerical tendencies in the expected direction. Finally, in a perception study (Experiment 4), we demonstrate that the subphonemic differences between final voiceless and “devoiced” stops are audible, but only barely so. Even though the present findings provide evidence for the robustness of incomplete neutralization in German, the small effect sizes highlight the challenges of investigating this phenomenon.

Good qualitative fits to the empirical production data were found for the latter group of learners, while the outcome for compensating learners resembled production data from a related dialect.

However, the concept of recursion as articulated in the context of linguistic analysis has been perennially confused. Nowhere has this been more evident than in attempts to critique and extend Hauseretal's. (2002) articulation. These authors put forward the hypothesis that what is uniquely human and unique to the faculty of language-the faculty of language in the narrow sense (FLN)-is a recursive system that generates and maps syntactic objects to conceptual-intentional and sensory-motor systems. This thesis was based on the standard mathematical definition of recursion as understood by Gödel and Turing, and yet has commonly been interpreted in other ways, most notably and incorrectly as a thesis about the capacity for syntactic embedding. As we explain, the recursiveness of a function is defined independent of such output, whether infinite or finite, embedded or unembedded-existent or non-existent. And to the extent that embedding is a sufficient, though not necessary, diagnostic of recursion, it has not been established that the apparent restriction on embedding in some languages is of any theoretical import. Misunderstanding of these facts has generated research that is often irrelevant to the FLN thesis as well as to other theories of language competence that focus on its generative power of expression. This essay is an attempt to bring conceptual clarity to such discussions as well as to future empirical investigations by explaining three criterial properties of recursion: computability (i.e., rules in intension rather than lists in extension); definition by induction (i.e., rules strongly generative of structure); and mathematical induction (i.e., rules for the principled-and potentially unbounded-expansion of strongly generated structure). By these necessary and sufficient criteria, the grammars of all natural languages are recursive.}, keywords = {Ian Roberts}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{King2014e, title = {Response to Donna Gabaccia, Spatializing gender and migration: the periodization of Atlantic Studies, 1500 to the present}, author = {Brian King}, doi = {10.1080/14788810.2014.870704}, year = {2014}, date = {2014-01-02}, urldate = {2014-01-02}, journal = {Atlantic Studies}, volume = {11}, number = {1}, keywords = {Brian King}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Benjamin2014, title = {Aesthetic elements in Temiar grammar}, author = {Geoffrey Benjamin}, doi = {10.13140/RG.2.1.3853.2646}, isbn = {9781107007123}, year = {2014}, date = {2014-01-01}, pages = {36–60}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, abstract = {For non-literate people, a language consists primarily in the sounds and/or oral (articulatory) gestures of speech. A major reason for both a priori and a posteriori linguistic iconicity is economy of expression: a degree of semantic condensation is therefore an inevitable feature of all grammars. Iconicity is typically felt (a matter of aesthesis) rather than known through the intellect, and iconic meanings are held in mind as condensed notions rather than articulated concepts. Single-stranded situations predispose people to view linguistic meaning as primarily referential, but many-stranded situations (such as those typically experienced by the Temiars) predispose people to view implicational and allusive (‘poetic’) forms of expression as normal. The ‘meaning’ then pertains not solely to the ostensible referential meaning of the speakers’ utterances, but also to the cultural and psychological ‘figure’ presented by the grammatical and lexical patterns of the language. In Temiar, an Austroasiatic (Aslian) language of northern Peninsular Malaysia, a set of grammatical and lexical features display the iconic-aesthetic effects of contrasting deictic gestures made by the vocal organs: (1) opening the mouth wide, as if addressing oneself to OTHER, the rest of the world, and (2) closing the mouth in self-contemplation, as if in temporary retreat from the world. The salience accorded in Temiar grammar to the SELF–OTHER dialectic directly reflects the prominence of this dialectic as an organising principle of the Temiar cultural regime. This dialectical framework did not just ‘happen’, but was deliberately cultivated in response to the specific societal and environmental circumstances of Temiar life. The article demonstrates in detail how these principles are expressed morphologically in the following domains of Temiar grammar: reduplicative incopyfixation in the' imperfective' aspect of the verb; the infixation of -a- ‘salient other’ in deponent verbs, middle-voice nouns and ‘undergoer’ nominalisations; and expressives.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Geoffrey Benjamin}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Zuckermann2014b, title = {Native Tongue Title: Compensation for the loss of Aboriginal languages}, author = {Ghil‘ad Zuckermann and Shiori Shakuto-Neoh and Giovanni Matteo Quer}, year = {2014}, date = {2014-01-01}, journal = {Australian Aboriginal Studies}, number = {1}, pages = {55-71}, abstract = {This paper proposes the enactment of an ex gratia compensation scheme for loss of Indigenous languages in Australia.

Throughout history, this has been an area of high multilingualism and intense linguistic contact, leading to often extreme processes of change, linguistic conflict and accommodation, as well as the emergence of new languages. However, while diversity may be the order of the day in South Asia, language obsolescence and loss have now become equally conspicuous. As a matter of fact, the most linguistically diverse countries in this region feature prominently in the worlwide charts of linguistic endangerment. In UNESCO’s online (and constantly evolving) Atlas of the World’s Languages in Danger, for instance, India has more entries than any other country, viz. 197 (in December 2012). Other countries in the region with a significant presence in the Atlas include Nepal (71 languages listed), Pakistan (28), Afghanistan (23) and Bhutan (19); only the Maldives are absent. In South Asian nations, there is an established tradition of research and reflection on the preservation of linguistic and cultural diversity. Yet, given the enormity of the task, more needs to be done to understand the causes of linguistic endangerment and design solutions. It is the intention of this volume to contribute to the debate by focusing on specifically South Asian problems, processes and constraints, from both a synchronic and a diachronic perspective. As expected, most of the languages studied are, by most definitions, currently endangered - the type of languages that might feature in UNESCO’s Atlas.

Methodologically, we employ a case study approach combining macro-data from language and migration policy documents and media reports with micro-data from ethnographic fieldwork. We explore the role of language in recruitment, in the workplace, during leisure time, and in gaining permanent residence in Australia. To begin with, language is not a recruitment criterion as the primary visa holder is hired on the basis of a so-called ‘trade test,’ i.e., observed at butchering work in the Philippines by an Australian recruiter. Spouses of the primary visa holder are also issued a temporary visa and are offered unskilled employment in the same plant. Once in Australia, the participants had few opportunities to practice English at work or in the community. In this way, temporary migrants came to Australia with limited English and had limited opportunities to improve their English in the country. However, visa extensions or the conversion of their temporary visa to a permanent residency visa is contingent upon their English language proficiency and only granted if they achieve a score of Level 5 or above on the IELTS (International English Language Testing System).

What explains the nature of those formations? D’Arcy Thompson (On Growth and Form, Cambridge University Press, 1917) famously stressed the role of development: "Everything is this way because it got this way." The chapters in Part II explore the processes that create linguistic and cultural formations. These processes include diverse causal mechanisms, affecting different sites and unfolding on various scales, among which are the evolutionary, historical, developmental/biographical, interactional, and psychological. In surveying broad literatures, the chapters in Part II offer a rich picture of the causal mechanisms and temporal dynamics of human-specific modes of meaning. We begin our lives surrounded by language but unable to use it. One of the most remarkable developmental processes in our earliest years is the acquisition of a first language, through which in a few years we go from having zero linguistic competence to having mastered a significant proportion of the grammar of whatever language is being spoken in our community.

The five essays in this Part address a range of aspects of interaction and intersubjectivity. A basic premise underlying the chapters in this Part is the idea that human thinking is intentional. As Brandom puts it in his chapter, "This is the idea of a kind of contentfulness that is distinctive of at least some of our psychological states and linguistic utterances." Many mental states, "thoughts" in common parlance, are directed at something, where "thing" receives the broadest possible construal. Brandom reviews a number of crucial distinctions within the domain of intentionality (e.g., practical vs. discursive, representational vs. propositional) before arguing for the fundamentally normative - and thus collective - character of discursive intentionality. For people, intentional mental states do not exist in isolation from the mental states of others. There are many ways in which this is the case but perhaps most important is that many of our mental states are about the mental states of others. "He suspects that she thinks the movie was boring," and so on. Minds are fundamentally and irreducibly linked to other minds in this respect. Face-to-face social interaction, in all its forms, constitutes the primordial (as Schegloff often puts it) scene of social life and thus perhaps the most basic, primitive way in which minds are linked to one another. When a human infant follows the gaze of its mother toward a toy, we assume it is constructing, at some level, a representation of the mother’s mental state - mother is thinking about the toy, etc. Here the mother’s gaze direction (or change thereof) becomes the sign of her mental state of attention and evaluation.}, keywords = {Jack Sidnell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Sidnell2014f, title = {Community and social life}, author = {Jack Sidnell and Paul Kockelman and N.

The study of rhetoric, on the other hand, is based on the idea that speaking is consequential. Aristotle defined rhetoric as the "faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion." Language is effective to the extent that a speaker is able to affect and direct the agency of others, and language, along with associated forms of conduct, can be conceptualized as the means to accomplish this. Language, on this view, is a tool.

Over sixty participants from Africa and elsewhere discussed theoretical and methodological issues relating to the documentation of language in its social context. Relevant recommendations for projects wishing to broaden into the realm of sociolinguistic language documentation include: a greater emphasis on conversational data and the documentation of naturally occurring conversation; developing metadata conventions to allow for more nuanced descriptions of socio-cultural settings; encouraging teamwork and interdisciplinary collaboration in order to extend the scope of sociolinguistic documentation; collecting sociolinguistic data which can inform language planning and policy; and creating opportunities for training in sociolinguistic documentation.

A closer analysis of the content of the labels revealed variation in terms of the principal (Goffman 1981) on which they draw in their judgments, being either individual, regional (intermediate), or wide-scope generic.

His focus on files, maps, the parchi and the petition, and lists and land records, is a sorely needed addition to the ethnographic record. As a linguistic anthropologist, he is uniquely positioned to reflect on the linguistic properties of such documents; as a broadly-trained sociocultural anthropologist, he is able to tease out the social and political implications of how these inscriptions function in the social world, what they enable people to do, and how their materiality limits their possible uses and their possible users. This book also sets up very interesting comparative possibilities for research about the state in South Asia. For example, although Hull’s concerns are not identical to those raised in my recent book on Indian bureaucracy, Red tape (2012), it is interesting to read both books to ask the question of how much difference the postcolonial histories of India and Pakistan have made to their respective bureaucracies. On the one hand, the continuities exhibited by the two bureaucracies in the wake of colonial rule are truly astonishing. It has been more than sixty years since the subcontinent achieved Independence. In that time, a minirevolution has taken place in organizing and running offices. Handwriting was first replaced by typewritten documents, and then computers substituted typewriters. Techniques of filing moved from tying bundles of paper within a cardboard cover secured by tape and stored horizontally, to papers being stored in tabbed folders open on one side and stored vertically in filing cabinets, to electronic files being stored on computers and backed up in the cloud and on hard drives. Government bureaucracies in all three countries in British India (Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh) have displayed a stubborn attachment to colonial practices, including forms filled out in triplicate, files tied with ribbons, the design of office space, the hierarchies of bureaucratic offices, et cetera. I emphasize “government bureaucracies” in the previous sentence because the bureaucracies found in private corporations have moved their office practices to resemble businesses in the global North. Few managers in corporations, even customer-facing ones, would run an office like Zaffar Khan’s (that Hull describes so vividly), where several, unrelated, groups of clients were being entertained simultaneously. Hull and I were writing our books at the same time and we produced very similar descriptions of office practices in bureaucracies separated by national boundaries and by sixty years of postcolonial governance. This coincidence has less to do with us as observers, and more with the fact that the offices themselves resemble each other. A photograph by Jan Banning from his exhibition and subsequent book, Bureaucratics (2008), graces the cover of Red tape. What is interesting to me is the number of lay people who have told me that photograph looks exactly like the office where they had recently gone to do a task involving a government agency. That it was in a different state and in a different bureaucracy seemed not to matter; and I am sure that when people in the subcontinent read Hull’s wonderfully evocative descriptions of the CDA, they will have a sense of déjà vu.}, keywords = {Akhil Gupta}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Fina2013, title = {Positioning level 3: Connecting local identity displays to macro social processes}, author = {Anna De Fina}, doi = {10.1075/ni.23.1.03de}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-12-19}, journal = {Narrative Inquiry}, volume = {23}, number = {1}, pages = {40-61}, abstract = {In this article I discuss the positive impact of the concept of positioning on identity studies, with particular reference to the analysis of narratives.

I focus on level 3 positioning to argue that this construct allows for an approach to the construction of identity in discourse that occupies a middle ground between talk-in-interaction approaches that center exclusively on participant orientations at the local level and approaches that regard identity as basically determined by macro social processes and only manifested in discourse. To illustrate level 3 positioning I analyze a narrative taken from a corpus of stories of language conflict told by Latin American immigrant women to the US.

Results confirm that they differentiate generics from specific utterances as well as from quantifiers. They coincide with the results obtained with English and Mandarin speakers. Significant correlations are observed in the interpretation of generic concepts by speakers of worldwide different languages. Another important result is that Quechuaphone children assign generic interpretations to linguistically unmarked utterances.

I present a survey of current views on the "negrito" phenotype-is it single or many? If the phenotype is many (as now seems likely), it must have resulted from parallel evolution in the several different regions where it has been claimed to exist. This would suggest (contrary to certain views that have been expressed on the basis of very partial genetic data) that the phenotype originated recently and by biologically well-authenticated processes from within the neighboring populations. Whole-genome and physical-anthropological research currently support this view. Regardless of whether the negrito phenotype is ancient or recent-and to the extent that it retains any valid biological reality (which is worth questioning)-explanations are still needed for its continued distinctiveness. In the Malay Peninsula, a distinctive "Semang" societal pattern followed by most, but not all, so-called negritos may have been responsible for this by shaping familial, breeding, and demographic patterns to suit the two main modes of environmental appropriation that they have followed, probably for some millennia: nomadic foraging in the forest, and facultative dependence on exchange or labor relations with neighboring populations. The known distribution of "negritos" in the Malay Peninsula is limited to areas within relatively easy reach of archaeologically authenticated premodern transpeninsular trading and portage routes, as well as of other non-negrito, Aslian-speaking populations engaged in swidden farming. This suggests that their continued distinctiveness has resulted from a wish to maintain a complementary advantage vis-à-vis other, less specialized populations.

Dutch migration was facilitated by an assisted migrant scheme for Dutch migrants, who were considered desirable because of their cultural and physical similarities to mainstream Anglo-Australians at a time when Australia was striving to build up its European population and develop its secondary industry. }, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Anne Pauwels}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Fina2013bb, title = {Transnational Identities}, author = {Anna De Fina and Sabina Perrino}, doi = {10.1093/applin/amt024}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-11-22}, journal = {Applied Linguistics}, volume = {34}, number = {5}, pages = {509-515}, keywords = {Anna De Fina}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Bodomo2013c, title = {Review of Don Wyatt's 'The Blacks of Premodern China'}, author = {Adams Bodomo}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-11-20}, journal = {African Studies Review}, volume = {56}, abstract = {This is a critical review of Don Wyatt's provocative argument that the Chinese, like the Americans, once owned black Africans as slaves.}, keywords = {Adams Bodomo}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Bodomo2013d, title = {Africa – China Cooperation: A note on the role of Diaspora Africans and Diaspora Chinese Invited Paper for the FOCAC Seminar on Governance and Development Experience of African Countries and China Institute for International Strategic Studies}, author = {Adams Bodomo}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-11-19}, keywords = {Adams Bodomo}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Tsimpli2013b, title = {Morphological decomposition in Broca’s aphasia}, author = {Ianthi Tsimpli and Maurizo Gotti et al}, doi = {10.1080/02687038.2013.853022}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-11-18}, urldate = {2013-11-18}, journal = {Aphasiology}, volume = {28}, number = {3}, pages = {296-319}, abstract = {Background: Few studies have investigated how individuals diagnosed with post-stroke Broca's aphasia decompose words into their constituent morphemes in real-time processing. Previous research has focused on morphologically complex words in non-time-constrained settings or in syntactic frames, but not in the lexicon. Aims: We examined real-time processing of morphologically complex words in a group of five Greek-speaking individuals with Broca's aphasia to determine: (1) whether their morphological decomposition mechanisms are sensitive to lexical (orthography and frequency) vs. morphological (stem-suffix combinatory features) factors during visual word recognition, (2) whether these mechanisms are different in inflected vs. derived forms during lexical access, and (3) whether there is a preferred unit of lexical access (syllables vs. morphemes) for inflected vs. derived forms. Methods & Procedures: The study included two real-time experiments. The first was a semantic judgment task necessitating participants' categorical judgments for high- and low-frequency inflected real words and pseudohomophones of the real words created by either an orthographic error at the stem or a homophonous (but incorrect) inflectional suffix. The second experiment was a letter-priming task at the syllabic or morphemic boundary of morphologically transparent inflected and derived words whose stems and suffixes were matched for length, lemma and surface frequency. Outcomes & Results: The majority of the individuals with Broca's aphasia were sensitive to lexical frequency and stem orthography, while ignoring the morphological combinatory information encoded in the inflectional suffix that control participants were sensitive to. The letter-priming task, on the other hand, showed that individuals with aphasia-in contrast to controls-showed preferences with regard to the unit of lexical access, i.e., they were overall faster on syllabically than morphemically parsed words and their morphological decomposition mechanisms for inflected and derived forms were modulated by the unit of lexical access. Conclusions: Our results show that in morphological processing, Greek-speaking persons with aphasia rely mainly on stem access and thus are only sensitive to orthographic violations of the stem morphemes, but not to illegal morphological combinations of stems and suffixes. This possibly indicates an intact orthographic lexicon but deficient morphological decomposition mechanisms, possibly stemming from an underspecification of inflectional suffixes in the participants' grammar. Syllabic information, however, appears to facilitate lexical access and elicits repair mechanisms that compensate for deviant morphological parsing procedures.}, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @book{Dalakoglou2013bb, title = {Disorder of the Day: Occupied London# 5}, author = {Dimitris Dalakoglou and B Ali and John Berger and Gal Kirn and Tucker Landesman and Alessio Lunghi and Andy Merrifield and Occupied London and Jacken Waters}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-11-17}, volume = {5}, publisher = {Occupied London}, keywords = {Dimitris Dalakoglou}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {book} } @article{Ladegaard2013, title = {Laughing at Adversity: Laughter as Communication in Domestic Helper Narratives}, author = {Hans Ladegaard}, doi = {10.1177/0261927X13489301}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-11-06}, urldate = {2013-11-06}, journal = {Journal of Language and Social Psychology}, volume = {32}, number = {4}, pages = {390-411}, abstract = {This article analyses excerpts from narratives told by foreign domestic helpers in a Hong Kong church shelter.

The irrealis marker occurs in paradigmatic opposition with these newly grammaticalized tense markers, but continues to encode an independent category of mood that is not constrained to any particular temporal deictic setting.

All Vietnamese kin terms encode a specification of either relative age or relative generation of participants, and there are no reciprocal terms akin to English ‘brother’ or ‘sister’; rather, a speaker must select between terms such as ‘older brother’ (anh) or ‘younger sibling’ (em). Since generation is normatively associated with a difference in age, the result is a ubiquitous indexing of age and status hierarchies in all acts of address. This results in a problem for peers. How, in such a system, should they address one another (and also self-refer)? In this article, we describe the various practices that speakers use to subvert the system and thus avoid indexing differences of age or station. Specifically, we describe four practices: (1) the use of true pronouns in address and self-reference; (2) the use of proper names in address and self-reference; (3) the use of kin terms in address and pronouns in self-reference; and (4) the ironic use of kin terms in address. We conclude that the Vietnamese system well illustrates what is likely a universal tension between hierarchy and equality in acts of address and self-reference, by showing how speakers deconstruct the vector of age and indicate that they consider one another peers. We further suggest that although the literature in this area has focused on the ways in which languages convey differences of status and rank, social order is built as much upon relations of parity and sameness – on identification of the other as neither higher nor lower than me – as it is upon relations of hierarchy.}, keywords = {Jack Sidnell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @book{Bhatia2013c, title = {A Critical Study of the British WMD Dossier}, author = {Aditi Bhatia}, editor = {Adam Hodges}, doi = {10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199937271.003.0005}, isbn = {9780199937271}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-09-01}, volume = {24}, number = {3}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, abstract = {This chapter examines the Weapons of Mass Destruction Dossier (WMDD) released by the British government of Prime Minister Tony Blair in 2002.

Any scientific exploration into unknown territory presupposes that there is something to be found-ideally something that already has a name.

Our analysis draws on quantitative and qualitative data from five highly multilingual African countries: Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa. Writers are shown to draw on local as well as global linguistic resources in crafting their messages. Being a good texter requires the performance of ‘textual linguistic dexterity’: the ability to articulate meaning through the skillful use of both global and local forms. Good texters are valued by their audiences not only for the speed with which they reply, but also their ability to ‘play with words’. The quantitative data shows such practices to be widespread, while the qualitative data allows us to understand writers’ motivations and underlying linguistics ideologies. Texting is frequently used in intimate interactions, especially for expressions of love, affection and attraction. Through the juxtaposition of linguistic material, and drawing on the social meanings of different resources within their multilingual repertoires, writers are able to project particular personae and to negotiate various forms of emotional attachment.}, keywords = {Ana Deumert}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @conference{Michaud2013c, title = {The interplay of intonation and complex lexical tones: how speaker attitudes affect the realization of glottalization on Vietnamese sentence-final particles}, author = {Alexis Michaud and Lan Nguyen and Do Dat Tran and Dang-Khoa Mac and Dang -Khoa}, doi = {10.13140/2.1.2748.0961}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-08-25}, booktitle = {The interplay of intonation and complex lexical tones: how speaker attitudes affect the realization of glottalization on Vietnamese sentence-final particles}, publisher = {Lyon, France}, abstract = {A salient aspect of the tone system of Hanoi Vietnamese is its use of phonation-type characteristics. This pilot study investigates intonational variation in the realization of two tones: tone 3 (ngã), a rising tone with a strong glottalization in its first half, and tone 6 (nặng), which starts on a middle pitch and usually falls dramatically because of a strong glottalization in its second half. This study focuses on how speaker attitude affects the realization of glottalization on two sentence-final particles (SFPs) carrying tones 3 and 6: đã [IPA: ɗa3], conveying tense-aspect-modality information, and ạ [IPA: a6], conveying politeness. Audio and electroglottographic recordings from 4 male speakers suggest that glottalization is phased earlier for surprise than for declaration. Irritation also tends to be reflected in earlier glottalization, but with an added glottal constriction at the very end. A methodological challenge is that phonetic realizations of tones 3 and 6 span a wide range of states of the glottis. A procedure is proposed for detecting the complex-repetitive patterns found in cases of lapse into creaky phonation (vocal fry).

The volume includes case studies from Japan, Australia, South Africa, Germany, Catalonia, China, Denmark and Sweden, analysing a range of issues such as the conflict between the students’ native languages and English, the reality of parallel teaching in English as well as in the local language, and classrooms that are nominally English-speaking but multilingual in practice. The book assesses the factors common to successful bilingual learners, and provides university administrators, policy makers and teachers around the world with a much-needed commentary on the challenges they face in increasingly multilingual surroundings characterized by a heterogeneous student population. Patterns of language alternation and choice have become increasingly important to the development of an understanding of the internationalisation of higher education that is occurring world-wide. This volume draws on the extensive and varied literature related to the sociolinguistics of globalisation – linguistic ethnography, discourse analysis, language teaching, language and identity, and language planning – as the theoretical bases for the description of the nature of these emerging multilingual communities that are increasingly found in international education. It uses observational data from eleven studies that take into account the macro (societal), meso (university) and micro (participant) levels of language interaction to explicate the range of language encounters – highlighting both successful and problematic interactions and their related language ideologies. Although English is the common lingua franca, the studies in the volume highlight the importance of the multilingual resources available to participants in higher educational institutions that are used to negotiate and solve their language problems. The volume brings to our attention a range of important insights into language issues found in the internationalisation of higher education, and provides a resource for those wishing to understand or do research on how language hybridity and multilingual communicative practices are evolving there.

The Daily Herald wrote that The Flashing Stream would ‘indefinitely refute the old idea about the gulf between our preaching and the practice’. It was hailed as ‘a masterpiece’ by the Manchester Guardian, and also drew praise from The Telegraph who noted that ‘it handles a major problem of humanity with passion and intelligence’. The combination of serious themes with dramatic tension and masterly craftsmanship was continued in his other plays, The River Line and The Burning Glass, which are also included in this collection. The River Line was revived in the West End in Oct 2011, at the Jermyn Street Theatre.}, keywords = {Carole Bourne-Taylor}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {book} } @mastersthesis{Pham2013, title = {Vowel Chains in Vietnamese}, author = {Andrea Hoa Pham}, doi = {10.13140/RG.2.1.5041.1682}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-05-29}, abstract = {n Page 1.

Giftedness in childhood generally manifests itself with outstanding mental abilities or extraordinary abilities in specific domains (Gross, 1989). Some cognitive features often ascribed to giftedness, like advanced/sophisticated vocabulary and highly focused interests, resemble certain behavioral characteristics of children with Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) (Burger-Veltmeijer, 2003). Relevant literature also refers to serious communication problems, emotional difficulties and social ostracism often experienced by gifted children, under the pressure of having to conform to prevalent social norms in order to be able to interact with age-peers (Csikszentmihalyi et al., 1993; Winner, 2000). This means that certain features in both giftedness and AS often tend to look alike and modify or mask one another, thus making accurate identification more difficult. Although examination of cognitive and linguistic profiles in AS individuals is not new in the field of psycholinguistics (e.g., Mayes & Calhoun, 2003; Ozonoff & Griffith, 2000), these data yield limited information regarding differential diagnosis between giftedness and AS. The present study is one of the first to examine the verbal and non-verbal profile of a highly gifted and an age-matched child with AS, and identify how these profiles are unique to each individual by referring to the local vs. global processing theory. Method. Two Greek-speaking primary school children, a gifted boy (ΑΑ, age: 6;3 yrs.) attending 1st grade and a boy with Asperger syndrome attending 2nd grade (MP, age: 7;2), participated in our study along with two age-matched typically-developing children as controls. The gifted and the AS boys were diagnosed as such on the basis of (i) psychiatric assessment, and (ii) the results of Intelligence Tests, namely Raven’s Colored Progressive Matrices (administered to ΑΑ, Raven Score: 36/36) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children/WISC (administered to MP, General Intelligence Index: 117), among others. Children were administered a series of online and offline tasks: an online ambiguous pronoun resolution task (Papadopoulou et al., 2011), clitic production (Tuller et al., 2004), expressive vocabulary (Vogindroukas et al., 2009), sentence repetition (Stavrakaki & Tsimpli, 1999), a local coherence task testing subjects’ ability to make contextually meaningful connections between linguistic information (Jolliffe & Baron-Cohen, 1999), a compilation of tasks testing cognitive and affective Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities, and a battery of tasks testing verbal working memory abilities (Chrysochoou, 2006; Chrysochoou & Bablekou, 2011); spatial target-stimulus locating task testing inhibition and negative priming effects (Treccani et al., 2009) and the Visual Patterns Test/VPT (Della Sala et al., 1997) testing visuo-spatial working memory abilities were also administered. Results and Discussion. According to the subtest level analysis, both the AS and the gifted child far outperformed (p=.000) their age-matched controls in expressive vocabulary, sentence repetition, verbal working memory (all 6 tasks), as well as in the VPT task. Performance differences between the gifted and the AS student were not apparent on the measures of cognitive ToM, clitic production, expressive vocabulary, sentence repetition, visuo-spatial working memory ,and most of the verbal working memory tests. On the other hand, the gifted child was found to score significantly higher (p<.05) in the coherence, affective ToM and non-word list recall tests, while he exhibited superior abilities in the non-verbal inhibition and in the ambiguous pronoun resolution tasks. Our results bear directly on the local vs. global processing distinction underlying each child’s distinctive developmental pattern (i.e. giftedness and AS), in the sense that AS is characterized by a broad deficit in global processing that affects both language and cognition and has wide-ranging effects, from word segmentation to inferences about pragmatic constraints and affective understanding (Arnold et al., 2009; Pijnacker et al., 2009; Snedeker, Diehl, & Paul, 2010; Tager-Flusberg, 2000). On the other hand, the results offer clear evidence on the gifted child’s superior ability to exploit both local and global cues and to effectively depend on inhibitory/control processes, appearing to develop in an adult-like manner in the specific individual.

Although findings from a number of interlingual studies indicate that the production of clitic pronouns is particularly problematic in SEN, studies conducted on Greek-speaking children with SLE do not seem to converge in their results. Five groups of children, of which two with monolingual and bilingual children with SEN and the rest with typically developing children equal in chronological age or verbal intelligence with children with SEN, participated in the present study. The study examined two general hypotheses: (a) whether the difficulty of children with SEN in producing clitic pronouns constitutes a time lag in language development or the emergence of a qualitatively distinct developmental course in SEN, and (b) whether the bilingualism of children with SEN will compensate for their language difficulty. The results showed that the performance of children with SEN was inferior to that of typically developing children of the same chronological age, therefore in favor of the theory of time delay in SEN. Also, the bilingualism of children with SEN was not found to have a significant positive or negative effect on children's performance.

Ironically enough, however, neither the social nor the biomedical sciences of addiction have so far made any measurable headway in linking drug use to a loss of self control. In this essay I begin by demonstrating the limitations in this regard suffered by the social and bio-medical sciences. Whereas the social sciences have variously reduced addicted drug use to deviant, but nonetheless self-governed, behaviour or discourses thereof, the bio-medical sciences have completely failed to adequately specify, let alone empirically analyse, how we might distinguish addicted from self-governed behaviour. I then show how these limitations can be very easily overcome by the adoption of a post-humanist perspective on self control and the various afflictions, including addiction, to which it is regarded heir. This argument provides occasion to acquaint readers with post-humanist scholarship concerning a spectrum of relevant topics including the human body, disease, drug use and therapeutic intervention and to show how these lines of investigation can be combined to provide an innovative, theoretically robust and practically valuable method for advancing the scientific study of addiction specifically as the loss of self control.

That is, dysfunctional communication between the caregivers and care receivers may, therefore, increase the likelihood of elder abuse. Grounded in Bugental and her colleagues' work (1993, 1999, 2002) on child abuse, we propose a power-oriented communication model based, in part, on research in the fields of family violence and intergenerational communication to explain the likelihood of occurrence of elder abuse in family caregiving situations. We argue that certain risk factors pertaining to caregivers' characteristics - those who perceive high stress in caregiving, have mental health issues, have a history of substance abuse, and/or display verbal aggressiveness - may be more likely to attribute considerable power to those elderly under their custodianship. At the same time, such caregivers tend to feel powerless and experience loss of control when interacting with their elderly counterparts. When an elderly care receiver displays noncompliant behaviors, caregivers may be prone to employ abusive behaviors (in our model, it refers to physical abuse, verbal abuse, or communication neglect) to seek such compliance. Consequences of such abuse may result in lower self-esteem or lower confidence in one's ability to manage his/her life. It is suggested that researchers and practitioners investigate both parties' interactions closely and the role of elderly care receivers in order to detect, intervene, and prevent elder abuse.}, keywords = {Howard Giles}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Haberland2013b, title = {Reflections about minority languages in the European Community}, author = {Hartmut Haberland}, doi = {10.1515/9783110877137.179}, isbn = {9783110877137}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-02-06}, urldate = {2013-02-06}, pages = {179-194}, publisher = {De Gruyter Mouton}, abstract = {Any language policy-be it a policy of language spread or promotion (Amnion 1989), or just the attempt to regulate the ways people interact in a given community-should have as its prerequisite a survey of the language situation.

Our aim is to investigate whether parametric choices of subject pronoun and the associated interpretive distinctions remain relevant in pronominal anaphora when factors like pragmatic plausibility are present.

This study compared the tonal alignment patterns of Japanese late bilingual English speakers and monolingual English speakers in order to investigate to what extent learners transfer their native implementation strategies to the interlanguage, and whether alignment changes with proficiency. The results show that, although initial-accented words were aligned later than final-accented words for all groups, as expected, the Japanese bilinguals aligned the former significantly later than the monolinguals. Further analyses revealed that their off-target realisations were generally limited to a specific type of syllable structure that we speculate may be linked to peak delay in their L1.These results are taken as evidence of prosodic transfer and suggest that late bilinguals will need to learn the L2 phonetic implementation rules of alignment independently of their acquisition of the phonology.}, keywords = {Calbert Graham}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Graham2013c, title = {Revisiting f0 Range Production in Japanese-English Simultaneous Bilinguals}, author = {Calbert Graham}, doi = {10.5070/P78WP244GC}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-01-01}, urldate = {2013-01-01}, journal = {Berkeley Phonology Lab Report}, volume = {9}, keywords = {Calbert Graham}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Weinberg2013b, title = {Starting the Conversation}, author = {Darin Weinberg and Jonathan Herring and Ciaran Regan and Phil Withington}, doi = {10.1057/9781137008336_1}, isbn = {978-1-137-00834-3}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-01-01}, urldate = {2013-01-01}, pages = {1-30}, publisher = {Macmillan Education UK}, abstract = {Substances that alter the mental and physiological state of the person — here termed intoxicants — are a modern obsession.

They also demonstrate that the problem of intoxication transcends the boundaries of any single academic discipline. It is trans-historical and trans-cultural and also traverses the divide between the natural and social sciences since the physical characteristics and effects of intoxicants only take on significance within particular social contexts. For example, modern concepts of ‘addiction’ depend as much on medical and legal discourses as on a substance’s molecular structure; ‘taste’ is something learnt, practised and displayed as well as biologically embedded; and the meaning and significance of substances are always representational as well as innate. Likewise, the peculiar relationship between intoxicants and medicine clearly illustrates how the history of medicine is integral to the history of societies (and vice versa).

There has been considerable awareness in the West about corporate social responsibility reporting, but a relatively modest inclination to meet such obligations is seen in other parts of the world. In the Peoples Republic of China, the government seems to have actively encouraged their key industries to take their social responsibilities more seriously and to report on their actions and achievements, but no studies have reported, so far, the nature and function of corporate social responsibility reporting practices in China. This paper, taking as its data PetroChina's Sustainability Reports, employs certain specific aspects of genre analytical framework (Bhatia, 2004, 2008, 2010) in order to explore how the corporate social responsibility reports are discursively constructed, why they are constructed in this manner, and what their intended communicative functions are. Analysis of the linguistic and rhetorical resources exploited in this reporting genre helps reveal the extent to which such disclosure practices meet the expectations of various stakeholders, and how the fairly flexible adoption of corporate social responsibility practices has hybridized the reporting genre with expression of promotion and self-justification. © 2013 PUCV.}, keywords = {Aditi Bhatia}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Bodomo2013f, title = {Ubiquitous Conversations: A case study of interactivity enhancement in web-based learning}, author = {Adams Bodomo and Yuxiu Hu}, doi = {10.18848/1835-9795/CGP/v05i01/40356}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-01-01}, journal = {Ubiquitous Learning: An International Journal}, volume = {5}, pages = {1-14}, abstract = {In this paper we propose a learning model, The Conversational Learning Community that we have been developing mostly through web-based course activities.

We then argue that the most important feature embedded within the Blackboard WebCT platform, an online proprietary virtual learning system, on which we develop our model that can be exploited for achieving interactivity and eventually knowledge construction, is the Discussion forum. As empirical evidence for this argument we present a report of activities from a recently taught course on Language and Information Technology.

The author presents three main theses: (1) that there were black slaves in premodern China; (2) that some of these blacks were of African origin; and (3) that these black slaves were owned by Chinese. All three theses have the ultimate aim of implicating China as an entity that, like the United States and other Western countries, once took part in one of the most horrendous events in human history: the buying and selling of Africans as slaves. With respect to highlighting the historical fact that there were black slaves in premodern China, the book is groundbreaking. Throughout the book’s three chapters (“From History’s Mints,” “The Slaves of Guangzhou,” and “To the End of the Western Sea”) the author sifts various pieces of historical evidence and queries and problematizes key words such as Kunlun and heiren. These terms, the author claims, point to the fact that the premodern Chinese had interactions with blacks and that there were asymmetrical relations between the two populations, suggesting that many of these black people served the Chinese as slaves. But does the fact that one can ascertain the presence of blacks in premodern China indicate that these blacks were African? Whereas the book is very successful in signaling the presence of blacks, it does not appear, in my opinion, to have achieved the same amount of success in showing that any of them were of African origin, let alone that the Chinese of that era owned African slaves. For example, as the author himself acknowledges frequently, the Chinese of that era and even to this day often refer to ethnicities in South and Southeast Asia such as the Malays as “blacks.” The author’s third thesis, that the Chinese of premodern China owned African slaves, is supported by the proposition that since the Arabs of the era traded in African slaves, and since the Chinese traded with the Arabs, the Chinese could have bought African slaves from the Arabs. But again this thesis, arguably, is not proved sufficiently by the available historical evidence. In fact, the historical data in the book suggest an alternative thesis: that whereas Africa’s relations with Europe were mostly those of master and slave (i.e., the trans-Atlantic slave trade), Africa’s relations with China were altogether different. There was neither a trans-Indian nor a trans-Pacific slave trade involving the buying of Africans by the Chinese. As I have argued in my own book (Africans in China, Cambria Press, 2012), Africans and Chinese met for the first time in the fifteenth century, on equal footing for the most part, and Africans and Chinese never owned each other on any large scale or in any systematic manner. Several studies (e.g., by Lila Abu-Lughod, Richard Gould, and Louis Levathes) suggest that this first-time meeting between Africans and Chinese came about following the wreck of a ship captained by Admiral Zheng He, a Ming-era seafarer on the East Coast of Africa, with the Africans helping the Chinese to land on shore. There are no available records suggesting that Zheng He sent back slaves to China, even though he sent many African goods and acquisitions, including giraffes and African spices. Unfortunately, readers of Wyatt’s book may be left with the impression that many groups of people in the world—from East to West—owned Africans as slaves in the past, even though Wyatt does not state this explicitly and may not have even intended to suggest this. Perhaps inadvertently, however, the book bolsters a conceptualization of African history and of Africa’s historical connections with the rest of the world as a history of slavery, as we see in far too many African American studies and African history programs in North America. This tendency is a bit worrying, as is the over-emphasis on colonialism among European Africanists. The history of Africa’s contact with other races should not always be defined by master–slave relations.

The circulation (and the contacts that this circulation generates) of the eaters themselves, of ideologies, of culinary practices and of foodstuffs are at the heart of the questions raised here. The articles show that the cultural contacts produced by globalization have given rise to reworked and diversified food practices and symbols, consequences of the constraints undergone and the choices made by producers and consumers, processors and distributors, cooks and eaters. in varied and specific contexts, manipulated by political, economic, and socio-cultural forces. To study these dietary changes, the volume sets aside the representation of cultural contacts as a Newtonian collision (the “clash culture”) and instead appeals to the analytical frameworks closer to the Bakhtinian dialogue (Bakhtin 1981): syncretism (Wallace 1956). ; Shaw and Stewart 1994; Greenfield 1998, among others), creolization (Drummond 1980; Hannerz 1987; see Friedman 1994 for a review and Palmié 2006 for a full analysis; Glissant 1997; Benoist 1999; Palmié 2009; Tibère, this volume); translocality (Brickell and Datta 2011); cosmopolitanism (Hannerz 1996; Appiah 2006) and hybridity (Garcia Canclini 1995; Pieterse 2009). These models focus on the appropriation of ideologies and practices, technologies and goods, information and institutions, by the producer and the consumer, in an eclectic and merging way in various parts of the world even when these mixtures are made in the face of structural impositions. In general, these approaches are based on a vision of change as a process inherent in any society and which includes not only “dialogues” between equal interlocutors, but also imposed and hegemonic discourses; which has various results: acquiescence or almost total rejection, accommodations (out of politeness or fear), required or strategic compromise. Note however that to speak of the phenomena of appropriation, Appadurai shows the importance of processes such as "agency, selectivity, but also irony and resistance" (Appadurai 1996: 7). However, the main fusionist paradigm that we wish to use and reformulate here is that ofglocalization. A portmanteau word that combines globalization and localization, the term was introduced into the academic lexicon by sociologist Roland Robertson (1994, 1995). Borrowed from Japanese salespeople, the term describes the means by which multinational companies can strategically improve the sales of their products by tailoring them to the tastes of local consumers. In fact, the first occurrence of this word describes how agricultural techniques must be adapted to the new environments in which they are introduced (Khondker 2004). But in marketing, that term mostly refers to how McDonalds, for example, had to transform the Big Mac sandwich to satisfy the palates of consumers around the world. Anyway, the meaning given to this attractive portmanteau has been modified according to authors working in the fields of marketing (Kjeldgaard and Askegaard 2006), political economy (Mendis 2007), linguistic anthropology (Roth-Gordon 2007), and the anthropology of education (Jungck and Kajorsin 2003). The term has also been used in some analyzes of dietary changes by Wilk (1999), Matejowsky (2007), Möhring (2008), and Jourdan (2010).

I argue that for the past 40 years or so several polities and sub-state regions have witnessed a sustained attempt to navigate selected languages into the mainstream of public policy, especially within the fields of statutory education, local government, the media and community affairs. Having gained an element of success, through promotion and planning, many of the language regimes under review have opted for an increase in the legislative underpinning which gives purchase to the rights and expectations of identifiable groups and citizens.

This information will then be used to interpret and calibrate the findings of the From Act to Action Project, which was a systematic analysis of the implementation of official language legislation in three EU contexts: Finland, Ireland and Wales.

Language policy need not necessarily be related to a particular legislative system or specific Language Acts.

Conventionally, legal specialists are prone to interpret language legislation in terms of its effect on other aspects of the legal system, the constitution of the host state and on the rights and ethno-linguistic vitality of the individual or community to which specific rights apply. A secondary concern is how legislation is analyzed in terms of its impact on institutional systems and organizational culture.

Another has been the manner in which official language strategies and frameworks have been managed in the delicate transition process either from a post-welfare State to a neo-liberal State as in the UK and Ireland or from an authoritarian State to a more liberal State as in Spain. I have argued that there is a tendency for the public rhetoric regarding the promotion of official languages to be hidden behind a Mask of Piety. The everyday reality is quite different from the strategies, rights and programmes trumpeted by officialdom. In part this divergence reflects a lack of commitment to the full implementation of policy and in part it reflects a broader structural approach wherein selected hegemonic forces have been simultaneously hollowing out the state and the conceptions of citizenship. This has been done in such a manner that governments give the impression that by transferring ownership of the processes of sociocultural reproduction they have increased the level of community control and accountability over language, public service delivery systems and educational matters. However, no amount of increased sponsorship, partnership development and greater recognition of the lived diversity of multicultural pluralism can hide the fact that, for the most part, the target groups under discussion feel that they are facing increasing threats to their survival, integrity and treatment as coequal official language speakers}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Collin Williams}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Williams2013bb, title = {Official Language Commissioners}, author = {Collin Williams}, doi = {10.1057/9781137000842_8}, isbn = {978-1-349-43344-5}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-01-01}, pages = {230-293}, publisher = {Palgrave Macmillan, London}, abstract = {The final part of this volume is concerned with the regulation and compliance functions which pertain to official language legislation. I have argued that despite the greater specification of the role of law, of language rights and of the statutory obligations on public bodies in particular, there remains a tension between the promotional and the regulatory aspects of language policy. Providing an opportunity to use a target language within the affairs of the central or local State is one thing, regulating and upholding its application is quite another. Typically, the law provides a range of mechanisms by which official language minorities may be recognized and their rights and services protected and, if need be, redressed through due process. These would include the establishment of permanent parliamentary committees on official languages, legal remedies before the courts of law, the specification of a range of government services and, significantly for this analysis, the Office of Official Language Commissioner or a combination of some or all of these.

These findings illustrate what people living in Wales and Brittany think of their regions and how they envisage their future development. Why compare Wales and Brittany? Before addressing this issue, we need to determine what is the function of comparison? For policy-makers, comparison is bound up with practical politics. Within the policy community, comparison is envisaged primarily in aspirational terms. This process is important, as the National Assembly for Wales is currently working out its diplomatic priorities. The most obvious comparators are those within the UK itself, as the Welsh look with some envy on the Scottish Parliament with its primary legislative and tax-raising powers.

However, a substantial portion of the country's population was partially excluded or had a very unfair share of the material benefits that were linked to that growth. The first victims of exclusion were migrant populations. Between 1991 and 2001, over 600,000 migrants moved to Greece, mostly coming from other parts of the Balkans-Albania in particular. Due to the political and economic meltdown of socialist countries, but also to the lack of migration control apparatuses in Greece, most of these newcomers migrated without documents (Kapsalis 2007a; Dalakoglou 2010a). The first serious attempt at a regularization policy in Greece did not come until 2001 (Kapsalis 2007b).

Over the final few months of 2012, Greek mainstream media have ceased reporting on the neo-Nazi attacks on migrant communities which have blighted Athens for over a year now. Yet in mid-January 2013 one attack did warrant the media’s attention: in the Petralona district of Athens, two Greek men on a motorbike stabbed a Pakistani migrant to death. Thanks to an eye witness the two murderers were arrested a few minutes later. However, there is an evident disjuncture between the infrequent arrests linked to racially motivated violence, and the anecdotal evidence of daily harassment and violence directed at migrant communities in the city. Fear of retribution and the known links between the Greek police force and far-right groups operate to dissuade victims and eye-witnesses from reporting racially-motivated crimes, thus obscuring statistics on racist violence across the country.}, keywords = {Dimitris Dalakoglou}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @book{Dalakoglou2013bb, title = {En finir avec l'Europe}, author = {Dimitris Dalakoglou and Cedric Durand}, year = {2013}, date = {2013-01-01}, publisher = {La Fabrique}, abstract = {What is Europe, or rather the European Union?

In an effort to tease out the social meaning of the variation, a further analysis of some micro factors within each area, including the group of speakers, the topic, and the stance towards the rivalry between the aforementioned suburban areas, suggests that variation in both areas is interactionally constrained, but in the northern area it tends to be more friendship group-constrained, while in the western area it is more education-constrained.

However, the issue ofcommunication encompasses topics that go beyond transference of information from oneindividual to another. Building on Chomsky’s concept of linguistic competence the ability ofall adult human beings to successfully use language – Hyme’s in 1971 developed the concept of Communicative Competence the ability of a competent adult to successfully communicate vialanguage, of which linguistic competence is a part. The process of language acquisition is notonly a process of learning words and grammars of a language, but also a process of learning howto use those resources and under what circumstances. Communication requires a knowledge thatgoes beyond basic word and grammar. It requires a sociolinguistic and pragmatic knowledge.Study of bipartite system second personal pronouns in some European languages (for exampletu and vousin French) by Brown and Gilman (1960) and study of address terms system in differentlanguages by Susan Ervin-Tripp (1969) show that use of language can mirror ideologicalstructure of the society. For example a society in which non-reciprocal usage of T (as in Frenchtu) and V (as in Frenchvous) is prevalent, is most likely a society where power is distributed by birth right (as in feudal societies). The field of pragmatics deal with language in use. Studies inspeech act theory (Austin 1962, Searle 1969) show that speaking, in most cases, is an act ofdoing something, rather than stating something. Grice’s (1975) maxims on conversationalimplicature reveal that there may be a lot more that is communicated through conversation thatwhat is stated.This very short and incomplete survey of different theories centred on the issue language andcommunication indicates the diverse and versatile nature of the topics that may be includedunder this theme.

In most varieties, including Standard Basque, datives control a dedicated series of dative suffixes. In some varieties, however, their agreement “displaces” to take over agreement otherwise reserved for the absolutive. To this phenomenon we refer as dative displacement. It is a rich domain to explore the properties and parameters of dialectal variation: the basic morphology of more than fifty dative displacement varieties has been documented, and four have been examined in more detail for this work. Recent research on comparable agreement displacements reveals that sometimes they affect not only morphology, but also syntax. This appears to be true of Basque dative displacement as well, although much remains to be understood. We first describe the phenomenon and its parametrization across Basque dialects in section 2, then outline syntactic and morphological approaches to it and their different predictions in section 3, to conclude with hints of its syntactic character in section 4. Dative displacement lies at the crossroads of two ways to treat an argument added to plain transitive and unaccusative structures. The argument structure of plain transitives consists of the external argument EA and the internal argument O, SheEA boils waterO, and that of plain unaccusatives of the internal argument S, WaterS boils.

The diversity observed concerns the morphological exponence of dative arguments, the availability of prepositional alternants, the relative height and the binding and scopal properties of direct and indirect objects, the kind and strength of person restrictions in pronominal clusters, and A-dependencies with and across dative arguments. The aim of the analysis is to reduce all apparent variation to the interaction of a limited number of variables, namely the precise nature of the arguments’ case feature (based on a principled distinction of different “flavours” of inherent Case, which may vary as to their transparency to Agree/Move and their ability to induce defective intervention effects), and several independent argument structure-related properties, all pointing toward a movement analysis of alternating datives. The underlying properties of inherent Case features are shown to be largely independent from their morphological exponents (morphological genitive or accusative in Modern Greek dialects); this dissociation leads us to predict a four-way typology of combinations of abstract and morphological case in Greek, which is in fact confirmed by the data, while there are also varieties allowing for more than one combination across different constructions within the same grammar.}, keywords = {Ioanna Sitaridou}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @conference{Michaud2012h, title = {Combining Documentation And Research: Ongoing Work On An Endangered Language}, author = {Alexis Michaud and Severine Guillaume and Andrew Hardie and Martine Toda }, url = {https://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/halshs-00731261}, doi = {10.1109/IALP.2012.32}, isbn = {978-1-4673-6113-2}, year = {2012}, date = {2012-11-01}, booktitle = {IALP 2012 (2012 International Conference on Asian Language Processing}, volume = {1}, pages = {169-172}, publisher = {Proceedings - 2012 International Conference on Asian Language Processing, IALP}, abstract = {This paper is intended for an audience of speech technology specialists who believe that "automatic processing of under-resourced languages is a way to study language diversity with a multi-disciplinary view" (L.

His work can be understood as a career-long interest in human creativity as expressed in linguistic (and other semiotic) forms, and the mediating influence of these forms on culture and social life. His work is highly influenced not only by formal linguistics, but by European and American philosophical and anthropological traditions. His earliest academic work at the University of Rome was on Korean syntax and semantics, but after beginning PhD study in the United States he also became interested in the social life of linguistic forms. These interests were perfectly synthesized in his ethnographic work on the role of grammatical forms in accomplishing social action, for example, how ergative case marking in Samoan could be manipulated by village chiefs and orators to negotiate agency and responsibility, one of many observations about language and culture in From Grammar to Politics: Linguistic Anthropology in a Western Samoan Village (Duranti, 1994). Later ethnographic work on the campaign trail in California, a contest for a US Congress seat, is another example of Duranti's approach to language, the video recorded data proving to be a rich source for understanding genre, the collaborative construction of meaning, and the materialization of locally relevant, taken-for-granted concepts such as democracy (Duranti, 2003, 2006a). Throughout his work he has developed and expanded his notion of “ethnopragmatics” (Duranti, 1993a, 2007) beyond a focus on the contextual life of language, local communicative practices, and speakers' attitudes, and toward the meaning and impact of those practices to language as an expression and realization of human agency more generally. Duranti is perhaps best known for his work on intentionality, both as it is perceived locally in different world areas, and the role of discursive practices in defining it (Duranti, 1993b, 2006b, 2008a). Most recently he has been reinvestigating the writings of Husserl on phenomenology in order to contribute to perhaps the most challenging anthropological question, understanding intersubjectivity and the limits and nature of sharing the perspective of the “other” (Duranti, 2009, 2010).}, keywords = {Elizabeth Keating}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @bachelorthesis{Sidnell2012, title = {“Who knows best?”: Evidentiality and epistemic asymmetry in conversation}, author = {Jack Sidnell}, doi = {10.1075/ps.3.2.08sid}, year = {2012}, date = {2012-10-23}, urldate = {2012-10-23}, journal = {Pragmatics and Society}, volume = {3}, issue = {2}, abstract = {This essay reviews current work in conversation analysis with an eye to what it might contribute to the study of evidentiality and epistemic asymmetry.

Lawler, 18 May, p. 829), Steven Pinker asserts that peace anthropologists, whom he calls “anthropologists for peace,” inaccurately portray small groups as more peaceful than they are (1). His accusation is unfounded. The term “peace anthropologist” refers to ethnographers who try to understand how people maintain peace. Some of us are pacifists; most are not. The field did not begin by looking for peaceable peoples. The first five modern investigators to study east Semai, for example, did not look for peaceability, but found it anyway (2–6). When ethnographers say that certain types of foragers and a few swiddeners led relatively peaceful lives, the statement is empirical, not ideological. Many ethnographic surveys of peaceable peoples are available [eg,(7, 8)]. Paleoanthropologists agree that the earliest human ancestors adapted to lifestyles that stressed nonviolence, tendencies that manifested anatomically, such as in the shrinkage of male canines, which anthropoids typically use to fight over females—the main cause of violence in small acephalous human groupings (9). Computer simulation suggests that small egalitarian groups (characteristic of human ancestors and peaceable peoples today) survive if they avoid violence better than if they practice it (10).

The motivation for this study is Arabic sociolinguist Reem Bassiouney's observation that issues of social stratification and how the latter is reflected on language in the Arab world, and most prominently in the Gulf countries, are under-researched. Against this backdrop and trying to fill in this gap, the described methodology combines linguistic ethnography with research on archives and books describing issues of social organization relevant to contemporary Qatari society. Linguistic ethnography is seen as 'a method of social research, [which] seeks to capture and understand the meanings and dynamics in particular cultural settings'. My study includes data from ethnographic interviews with 3 people, one Qatari, one Italian and one Indian, who have been working in Qatar for at least six months (in this way, they are familiar with the (working) context of the country). The questions used in the interviews focus on the participants' (socio)linguistic choices, lifestyle choices, ideologies, beliefs, and values. It is argued that social class, at the level of people's self-reflections is constructed via sociolinguistic upscaling, namely by alluding to higher-order scales, which create social norms and are thus associated with power. Such an upscaling is further argued to index upward mobility. What this means is that higher orders tend to be more abstract, hence more powerful, exactly because they are associated with rules and norms of the society. In a nutshell, the basic finding in this study is that upward mobility in class consciousness takes place sociolinguistically by alluding to power via upscaling. Finally, the overarching argument put forward is that globalization tends to metamorphose the very essence of social class, as it renders it mobile, in constant flux, and eventually a new system consisting of resemiotized identity units.

(2) Are there any differences in the discursive construction of the CSR reports taken from the different industries? If so, what are these differences, and why might they exist? Literature review: Contrasting CSR practices in China and the US are appropriate because of their economic power, and rigorous CSR reporting practices. According to previous research, CSR practices in China are mandatory for state-owned enterprises, but voluntary in the US. Interdiscursivity, the appropriation of established generic resources across genres and practices to create new forms, provides a framework for exploring differences in reports between the countries. Critical discourse analysis (analyzing discourse as social practice) and genre analysis (analyzing discourse as genre), provide methods for exploring these differences. Methodology: Using discourse analysis, this study analyzed six samples of CSRs, three from Chinese corporations, three from American corporations. Samples were selected through rigorous online search for top companies in oil, aviation, and banking. The study involved a general content analysis of the overall CSR reports using genre and critical discourse analysis, and then more focused analysis of sections on the environment. Results and discussion: The main function of the CSR reports analyzed seems to be the promotion of the company image. Although all analyzed reports drew on the discourse of goodwill and promoted company engagement with society, CSR reports from the oil industry employed discourse of self-justification more, attributing company actions to external constraints. CSR, as a generic construct in its hybrid form, seems a “typification” of three interdiscourses-discourses of promotion, goodwill, and self-justification-sociopragmatically co-constructed within an interdiscursive space. The purity of this genre lies in its hybridization, primarily in the integration of promotional cues in reporting genre, illustrating how interdiscursivity can explore the interrelationship between discursive and professional practices. The limitation of the study was the limited choice of countries and sample size. Future research could compare reporting practices of companies with newly instituted CSR practices with companies in countries with a longer history of CSR reporting.}, keywords = {Aditi Bhatia}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Deumert2012, title = {Raymond Hickey (ed.), The handbook of language contact.

The volume is divided into four parts with forty articles in total. Part 1, Contact and linguistics (six chapters), locates the study of language contact vis a vis central topics i n general linguistics: language change and historical linguistics (including quantitative and compu tational ap­ proaches), language classi fication, typology, grammaticalization, and grammatical theory. Part 2, Contact and change (six chapters), looks at a range of possible out­ comes and consequences of language contact: language shift, borrowing, code­ switch ing, dialect contact and change, the emergence of new variet ies, and pidgin/creole languages. Prut 3, Contact and society (five chapters), includes diverse topics such as fieldwork issues, ethnicity, scenarios and typologies, as well as a chapter on language death (see below for a more detailed disscussion of the chapters in Part 3). The largest section is Part 4, which provides the reader with a range of case studies of language contact (twenty-three chapters). The first chapter, by Johanna Nichols, provides a useful overview of language contact with respect to macrofami­ lies and 1nacroareas. It is followed by chapters on contact in the prehistory of In­ doeuropea and the Germanic languages (Paul Roberge). Moving from macrofamilies to individ ual languages, the following five chapters focus on the history of English in various localities (United Kingdom/early history, United States, Caribbean, Asia, and Africa). While English thus receives quite detailed coverage, the same cannot be said for the remaining 6,000 or so languages of the world, which are discussed mainly in terms of macrofamilies (Celtic, Slavic, Finno-Ugric, Turkic, North American languages, Siberian languages, Ch i nese languages, and Australian indigenous languages). Spanish and Portuguese share one article (John Lipski) Arabic has its own entry (Kees Ver­ steegh). In terms of geograph ical areas there are ind ividual chapters on the Balkans, Africa, South Asia, New Gu inea, and the Pacific.

Whereas psycholinguistic research on writing focuses on key logging and eye tracking to analyze micro processes such as plan-ning between linguistic units in experimental settings, sociolinguistics and applied linguistics start relating writing practices in the field to social mac-ro structures and problems such as societal diversity and change. In doing so, they understand micro development as a methodologically accessible activity which stands for similar, but less accessible developments on high-er levels and timescales. In my article, I discuss the methodological potential of research frame-works in “real-life” writing research, drawing on newswriting as an upcom-ing field of application. After a short overview of four more traditional research frameworks in the research of newswriting, I focus on Dynamic Systems Theory (DST).1 I argue that DST thinking fosters appropriate ap-proaches to explaining the complexity of writing in multi-layered real-world contexts. On the one hand, DST provides the conceptual metaphors needed to understand why and how it makes sense to systematically ana-lyze a world in which everything is connected. On the other hand, DST enables researchers to develop empirically grounded models of processes at the edge of chaos – processes such as dealing with time pressure, poor quality pictures and emergent ideas when writing a piece of news. In this article, I focus on DST’s potential for explaining the dynamics and complexity of writing processes in real-world contexts such as the do-main of newswriting.2 A newswriting process by an experienced journalist about demonstrations in Lebanon, is referred to throughout, as a case of such real-world writing. On an empirical level, I exploit data from this LEBANON case to show that changing a single word in an emerging news text can mean reframing both the writing process and the text product.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Daniel Perrin}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Baider2012, title = {President: the big challenge.

In most cases, transfers of nasality take place from a consonantal onset to a following vowel; the instances we found of a regular change in the opposite direction all come from languages where there is one of the following restrictions on nasal sounds: (i) nasal consonants are nonphonemic (contextually predictable), or (ii) the opposition between nasal and oral vowels is neutralized after nasal consonants (in favor of nasal vowels).}, keywords = {Alexis Michaud}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @book{Fina2012bb, title = {De Fina, A. and Georgakopoulou, A.

He has done so by taking issue with what he considers some ubiquitous tendencies in what he calls radical constructionism. According to Ho, radical constructionism understands "social realities as constructed and reproduced through situated, articulatory practices rather than objective structures" (p. 321). It claims "that social reality is constituted more by the actor's usage of discourse than shaped by the social structure which is said to be fixed and static" (p. 322). Following von Glasersfeld (1984), Ho characterizes radical constructionism as a theoretical approach that insists "knowledge does not reflect an 'objective' ontological reality, but is exclusively an ordering and organization of a world constituted by our experience" (p. 322). As a result of these theoretical commitments, discursive practice "becomes an essential concept inherent in the creation of knowledge" (p. 322). He also makes a series of subsidiary claims regarding radical constructionism that I will take up in the body of this essay. While Ho is concerned to critique a much broader collection of authors, his focus is primarily trained on the collaborative work of Jaber Gubrium and James Holstein, two leading figures in the constructionist canon. In this commentary, I endorse Ho's insistence that discursive practice cannot be adequately understood in isolation from what he calls the "pre-predicative structure of the lifeworld" (p. 323), but also point out several problems in his argument, including his mistaken claim that Gubrium and Holstein do so isolate discursive practice. }, keywords = {Darin Weinberg}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Solopova2012b, title = {The Making and Re-making of the Gough Map of Britain: Manuscript Evidence and Historical Context}, author = {Elizabeth Solopova}, doi = {10.1080/03085694.2012.673758}, year = {2012}, date = {2012-06-01}, urldate = {2012-06-01}, journal = {Imago Mundi}, volume = {64}, number = {2}, pages = {155-168}, abstract = {The results of a palaeographical and linguistic study of the Gough map demonstrate that although it was initially produced in the 1370s, the map was extensively revised not long thereafter.

In this article, we propose a third locus of linguistic relativity. Our argument is based on recent work in conversation analysis that has shown how the resources of a given language provide the tools for accomplishing basic actions in interaction. To develop our argument, we consider the way in which the resources of three different languages (Caribbean English Creole, Finnish, and Lao) are deployed by speakers to agree with a prior assessment while at the same time claiming greater epistemic authority over the matter assessed. Our case study indicates that the language-specific tools used to accomplish this action (the lexicogrammatical resources) introduce collateral effects and in this way give the action a local spin or inflection.}, keywords = {Jack Sidnell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Michaud2012g, title = {The Complex Tones of East/Southeast Asian Languages: Current Challenges for Typology and Modelling}, author = {Alexis Michaud }, url = {https://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/halshs-00676251}, year = {2012}, date = {2012-05-26}, journal = {Third International Symposium on Tonal Aspects of Languages (TAL 2012), Nanjing, China (2012)}, pages = {1-7}, abstract = {In some of the tone systems of East and Southeast Asian languages, linguistic tone cannot simply be equated with pitch; some tones have phonation-type characteristics as part of their phonological definition; and there is no compelling evidence for analyzing tonal contours into sequences of levels.

The antecedents of such framework go back to the well-known notion of “cycle”, which concerns broader notions, such as compositionality, locality, and economy conditions. Within generative grammar, this idea of the cycle took a concrete form in the fifties, with Chomsky, Halle, and Lukoff’s (1955) pioneering work on stress, later on extended in Chomsky & Halle (1968), Halle & Vergnaud (1987), and further applied to morpho-phonology (Mascaró 1976 and Kiparski 1982), semantics (Jackendoff 1969), and syntax (Chomsky 1965, 1973). In recent years, several attempts have tried to refine and reformulate the cycle (Freidin 1999, Lasnik 2006, Uriagereka 2011). Such was the goal behind explorations on bounding nodes (Chomsky 1973) and barriers (Chomsky 1986), for which there is substantial empirical evidence showing how computation proceeds in a step-by-step fashion. Much work within minimalism has been devoted to investigate the nature of phases and their relevance for other areas of linguistic inquiry. Although it has been argued that phases have natural correlates at the interfaces, it is still unclear what the defining properties of these domains are, whether they can help us understand language acquisition, language variation, or language evolution.

The data also show that HK students’ stereotypes of MLC are remarkably negative, and that MLC students defend themselves by constructing counter-narratives about the rejected mother and her ungrateful child.

These 20 studies yielded 116 independent effect sizes on an array of characteristics that were selected by the original researchers. We classified each of the characteristics as belonging to one of three domains that have been traditionally discussed in this area, namely status (e.g., intelligence, social class), solidarity (trustworthiness, in-group–out-group member), and dynamism (level of activity and liveliness). The effect was particularly strong when American Network accented speakers were compared with non–standard-accented speakers.

This article describes and analyzes particular conversational interactions of signers to show how deaf signers innovatively and creatively manage to adapt their signing in the car for effective signed interaction. Signers manipulate particular aspects of the car environment, including mirrors and seats, they use the body in particular ways to accommodate to visual perception boundaries, and they shift distribution of meaning to both manual signs and to aspects of the immediate physical environment. They also distribute the work of attending to actions both within and outside the vehicle.

It does so by tracing the historical development of the ways that Mayan languages became linked to indigenous identity in immutable ways by both the Guatemalan state and Maya citizens involved in El Movimiento Maya, the Maya cultural rights movement. It focuses on three distinct moments: the introduction and cultivation of missionary linguistic work by the Summer Institute of Linguistics and incipient Maya involvement in linguistics (1920s-1950s), language policies and practices during the armed conflict era, known as La Violencia (1960s-1995), and language advocacy that unfolded during the post-peace accords era (1996-2003). It argues that the on-going and politicized construction of an essential connection between Maya identity and Mayan languages has been a productive mechanism for structuring and enacting radically different national political projects. It maps how, on the one hand, the state has sought to eradicate indigenous cultural difference through a variety of practices including: missionary linguistic research, coercive literacy classes, forced military service, and genocidal warfare in service of a modernist, homogenous model of national identity formation. It shows how, at the same time, Maya scholar/activists, involved in cultural nationalism and indigenous rights efforts, valorize a strategically essential link between Mayan languages and indigenous identity in order to assert collective belonging to the nation-state in the face of a history of violent repression. The analysis is borne out through a contextually-situated account of state policies and concomitant discourse about Mayan languages as well as a discursive analysis of indigenous narratives about language that highlights the everyday, the fatal, and the libratory.}, keywords = {Brigittine French}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } @article{Solopova2012, title = {The Making and Re-making of the Gough Map of Britain: Manuscript Evidence and Historical Context}, author = {Elizabeth Solopova}, doi = {10.1080/03085694.2012.673758}, year = {2012}, date = {2012-01-06}, urldate = {2012-01-06}, journal = {Imago Mundi}, volume = {64}, number = {2}, pages = {155-168}, abstract = {The results of a palaeographical and linguistic study of the Gough map demonstrate that although it was initially produced in the 1370s, the map was extensively revised not long thereafter.

Discussion of the methods and scope of this revision is followed by an attempt to consider its historical context. The revision is most discernible in southeast England with virtually no changes made to Scotland, and only occasional changes made in Wales and the north of England. The reviser's focus on the south contrasts with the decision of the map's original makers to depict the whole island of Britain. This difference in approach raises questions about the ideological and political circumstances that made possible the original conception of the Gough map as a map of the whole island, and about an apparent decline of interest in or need for such a cartographic approach in the first decades of the fifteenth century. The original mapmaker's political outlook reflected the aspirations of the English kings in the late thirteenth and throughout the fourteenth centuries and the context of the Scottish wars of the period, whereas the different approach of the reviser may attest to changes in the political situation and ideology early in the fifteenth century.}, keywords = {Elizabeth Solopova}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Lupke2012, title = {North and West African Languages}, author = {Friederike Lupke and Philip J.

The current spelling and pronunciation of the word “Temiar” were not fully established until the 1950s, replacing a surprising variety of earlier written forms and pronunciations. A close examination of the latter throws light on the premodern relations holding between the Temiars and other populations. Etymological analysis, involving both Mon-Khmer and Austronesian sources, provides evidence that the earlier linguistic situation in the Peninsula was more complex than currently recognized. The Temiar language belongs to the Mon-Khmer stock, but it has long been in contact with one or more Austronesian languages.

In Temiar, r is a phonestheme with the notional meaning ‘REPLICATION (OF SELF)’, found also in the reflexive intensifier riːˀ, the relative pronoun rə- and the preposition rɛˀ- ‘like’. In the causative, r is iconic of the replicative verb’s valency-increase. The causative inflection has high productivity as a true causative with inanimate secondary subjects and as the transitivizer of intransitive verbs. However, there are syntactic and semantic limitations on its use with various kinds of animate secondary subject. In particular, cultural inhibitions against imposing one’s will on someone else suggests that Temiar ‘causatives’ are frequently better thought of as permissives.

FOCAC and other Africa–China relations platforms aim to promote mutually beneficial sociopolitical, socioeconomic, and sociocultural relations between these two major parts of the world. However, these closer ties are also seen by some third-party analysts, especially many scholars and politicians from the West, as attempts by China to exploit African resources to fuel its fast-growing economy and, possibly, end up colonizing the continent. Africa–China relations are thus a topic of intense academic discussion. On the back of these closer government-to-government contacts between Africa and China are also closer people-to-people interactions in the form of travel and the establishment of Diaspora communities by Africans in China and Chinese in Africa. While there is much discussion on Africa–China relations, the focus tends to lean more on the Chinese presence in Africa than on the African presence in China. There are numerous studies on the former but, with the exception of a few articles on the presence of African traders and students in China, little is known of the latter, even though an increasing number of Africans are visiting and settling in China and forming migrant communities there. This is a phenomenon that has never happened before the turn of the century and has thus led to what is often termed Africa's newest Diaspora. This book focuses on analyzing this new Diaspora, addressing the crucial question: What is it like to be an African in China? Africans in China is the first book-length study of the process of Africans travelling to China and forming communities there. Based on innovative intermingling of qualitative and quantitative research methods involving prolonged interaction with approximately 800 Africans across six main Chinese cities––Guangzhou, Yiwu, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong and Macau––sociolinguistic and sociocultural profiles are constructed to depict the everyday life of Africans in China. The study provides insights into understanding issues such as why Africans go to China, what they do there, how they communicate with their Chinese hosts, what opportunities and problems they encounter in their China sojourn, and how they are received by the Chinese state. Beyond these methodological and empirical contributions, the book also makes a theoretical contribution by proposing a crosscultural bridge theory of migrant-indigene relations, arguing that Africans in China act as sociopolitical, socioeconomic, and sociocultural bridges linking Africa to China. This approach to the analysis of Diaspora communities has consequences for crosscultural and crosslinguistic studies in an era of globalization. Africans in China is an important book for African Studies, Asian Studies, Africa–China relations studies, linguistics, anthropology, sociology, international studies, and migration and Diaspora studies in an era of globalization.

Seeking to understand the chronic and widespread poverty in India, the world's fourth largest economy, Gupta conceives of the relation between the state in India and the poor as one of structural violence. Every year this violence kills between two and three million people, especially women and girls, and lower-caste and indigenous peoples. Yet India's poor are not disenfranchised; they actively participate in the democratic project. Nor is the state indifferent to the plight of the poor; it sponsors many poverty amelioration programs.Gupta conducted ethnographic research among officials charged with coordinating development programs in rural Uttar Pradesh. Drawing on that research, he offers insightful analyses of corruption; the significance of writing and written records; and governmentality, or the expansion of bureaucracies. Those analyses underlie his argument that care is arbitrary in its consequences, and that arbitrariness is systematically produced by the very mechanisms that are meant to ameliorate social suffering. What must be explained is not only why government programs aimed at providing nutrition, employment, housing, healthcare, and education to poor people do not succeed in their objectives, but also why, when they do succeed, they do so unevenly and erratically./div}, keywords = {Akhil Gupta}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {book} } @article{Coupe2012, title = {Overcounting Numeral Systems and Their Relevance to Sub-grouping in the Tibeto-Burman Languages of Nagaland}, author = {Alexander Robertson Coupe}, year = {2012}, date = {2012-01-01}, journal = {Language and Linguistics}, volume = {13}, number = {1}, abstract = {This paper presents an appraisal of the most influential genetic classifications that have been proposed for the Tibeto-Burman languages of Nagaland, north-east India, and weighs up the evidence for the validity of a 'Naga' branch within Tibeto-Burman. The survey concludes that while phonological and lexical correspondences might be generally useful for establishing the affiliation of these languages to the Tibeto-Burman family, such criteria shed limited light on the problem of establishing lower level sub-groupings. Apart from the Konyak languages, which have been convincingly grouped with Jinghpaw and the Bodo-Garo languages on the basis of lexical innovations, sub-grouping within the languages of Nagaland remains inconclusive for want of robust diagnostic criteria. The paper presents new evidence for an intermediate grouping of languages of the central and southern regions of Nagaland (i.e. the Ao and Angami-Pochuri clusters), the historical-comparative basis for this being typologically rare overcounting numeral systems documented in the languages of these two regions in the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries. The complexity of overcounting numeral systems lessens the likelihood of their being borrowed, and such patterns have never been reported in contiguous Konyak, Karbi, Zeme, Kuki or Tangkhul languages.

Lakoff & Johnson 1980/2003; Kövecses 2007; Gibbs 2008). This paper aims to investigate cultural values via the use of metaphors in proverbs, with a special focus on the eating frame. Our data cover Taiwanese proverbs, Japanese proverbs and English proverbs. Basically there are two approaches to comparing cultural frames. One takes a bird’s eye, presenting a whole picture of cultural frames for each culture. On the other hand, the other compares the same frame and sees how it is used in different cultures. This study mainly takes the second approach. Eating is such an easy task in most cultures. While being used as a metaphor, eating event can represent different cultural values. After a careful scrutiny, the following metaphors/cultural values are found in Taiwanese proverbs: Making a Living Is Eating; Relying on Sb/Sth Is Eating; Consuming Is Eating; Living Is Eating (Age as food); Taking Advantages Is Eating; Invading Is Eating(or Invasion Is Eating); Causal Chain Is Eating (And Excreting); Curing Is Eating (Food As Medicine). However, in English proverbs, only two metaphors are found: Consuming is eating and causal chain is eating. In Japanese proverbs, four extra metaphors are found. They are Rewarding is eating, experiencing/ realizing is eating, competing is eating and defeating is eating. As shown above, by using the framework of conceptual metaphor theory, we can identify these cultural values in different languages. This finding has several implications. Firstly, we confirm what Kövecses has claimed that the metaphorical entailment potential appears to be utilized differently in different languages and cultures, even based on the same source domain (Kövecses 2007:128). Secondly, the conceptual metaphors found in the proverbs can be a clue to recognize the polysemies of a particular lexeme, such as eat as exemplified in this paper. Finally, we suggest that analyzing conceptual metaphors in proverbs would be helpful and useful in language teaching as the result could be a material to present the crosscultural issue and facilitate language learning.}, keywords = {Chia-Rung Lu}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @conference{Lu2012b, title = {The ‘unmarkedness’ in proverbs: a typological perspective}, author = {Chia-Rung Lu and Wei-hsien He}, year = {2012}, date = {2012-01-01}, journal = {Proceedings of the 12th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Cognitive Linguistics Association}, volume = {12}, pages = {529-534}, keywords = {Chia-Rung Lu}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } @article{Jourdan2012, title = {The taste in heritage1: Exploration of food transformations in some Montreal families}, author = {Christine Jourdan and S.

The question of interest in this chapter is what journalists do when their source materials are in different languages from the target language of their outgoing texts. More specifically, we explore whether institutionalized translation policies guide journalistic practices in such circumstances or whether journalists develop and rely on their own translation strategies. The methodology applied combines newsroom ethnography with in-depth analysis of writing processes, workplace conversations and interviews with media management. In this chapter, we draw on data from four television newsrooms in Switzerland, a highly multilingual country. Our findings indicate that translation is involved in every aspect of news production, including how journalists handle their source materials, their target texts, and their social environment. However, translation in the newsroom is based primarily on individuals’ implicit and tacit knowledge, not on explicit organizational knowledge. We conclude by suggesting how insights from this research can be generalized and contribute to increasing organizational knowledge of media companies. }, keywords = {Daniel Perrin}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Perrin2012bb, title = {„La voie tranquille“.

The research on professional practice in the newsroom (e.g. Quinn, 2005; Brannon, 2008; Tunstall, 2009; Perrin, 2011b) shows that mastering this change requires a multimedia mindset (Perrin, 2013), which results in three key com-petences: writing on all channels, working in teams (e.g. Perrin, 2011b), and finding emergent solutions (e.g. Perrin, 2012b).

This phrase generated a plethora of words and phrases for HIV using the concept of ‘three’. With these spoken references, speakers would sometimes use a manual expression for ‘three’ by showing three extended fingers. With repeated use, the manual expression by itself came to be established as a quotable gesture for HIV. The gesture became independent of speech as a noticeable increase in the number of deaths from HIV occurred. From observations of use in every day situations, speakers use the gesture primarily to mitigate the crude or indelicate effect of directly saying a person has HIV in speech. Use of the gesture also demonstrates sensitivity and empathy on the part of the speaker and lessens the speaker’s commitment to, and consequently their responsibility for suggesting a person has the disease. Whether for secret communication or openly displayed for dramatic effect, speakers use this gesture in conjunction with speech in nuanced ways to avoid breaking the spoken taboo and flouting social norms. The emergence of this gesture suggests that speech taboos are a key reason for gestures becoming quotable; hence the large number of quotable gestures that represent socially awkward and potentially offensive words and speech acts. The adaptation of a counting gesture demonstrates that one source for new quotable gestures may be the re-semanticization of an existing gesture through spoken semantic links. In the case of the HIV gesture, spoken language played a key role in disseminating the metonym of ‘three’ and establishing a common ground for a quotable gesture to emerge across many communities in South Africa.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Giles2011, title = {Intergenerational Communication Practices}, author = {Howard Giles and Jessica Gasiorek}, doi = {10.1016/B978-0-12-380882-0.00015-2}, isbn = {9780123808820}, year = {2011}, date = {2011-12-31}, urldate = {2011-12-31}, pages = {233-247}, publisher = {Elsevier Academic Press}, abstract = {This chapter explores important parameters of intergenerational communication, with a focus on older people being targets of overaccommodation, also known variously across studies as patronizing talk, elder speak, or infantilizing talk.

Overaccommodation is a construct derived from communication accommodation theory that has been operationalized in terms of a speaker perceiving to exceed or overshoot the level of implementation of communicative behaviors necessary for a smooth and successful interaction. The chapter begins with considering the different forms overaccommodation can take. Following this, it sheds light on its social effects and describes the variable ways it can be managed by recipients. It also presents the theoretical mechanisms proposed to underlie this process. Furthermore, it considers other forms problematic intergenerational communication may, including elderly-to-young overaccommodation, painful self disclosures, and off-target verbosity.

This raises the issue of how the regular phonological correspondences between these three languages should be interpreted, and which phonological structure should be reconstructed for proto-Naish. The regularities revealed by the comparison of the three languages are interpreted in light of potentially cognate forms in conservative languages. This comparison brings out numerous cases of phonetic conditioning of the vowel by the place of articulation of a preceding consonant or consonant cluster.

The Westphalian state has replaced three types of authority: religious, personal and local. Political challenges to the modern international system inevitably derive their claim to legitimacy from one of these other forms of authority. I argue that there is a correlation between the kind of legitimacy claim a ‘terrorist’ cause is based on and how threatening we find the activities based on that claim. The less the distance between the unrecognised legitimacy claim on the one hand and the principles conferring legitimacy in the modern states system on the other, the less ontologically threatening we find the claimants to be. All historical variants of modern ‘terrorism’ fall into one of two categories of disruptive activity. They are either based in claims to local authority and target only particular states, or in claims to personal and/or religious authority and reject the modern states system altogether. Groups labelled as terrorist can therefore be classified as system-affirming or system-threatening.

In that volume, Timor figured prominently. Six out of 14 comparative essays—seven, if one counts Rote within this area—were focused on Timor. Previous comparative efforts had been limited and were largely confined to the influential study by the Dutch anthropologist F. A. E. van Wouden. His work, Sociale Structuurtypen in de Groote Oost, in 1935—translated as Types of Social Structure in Eastern Indonesia in 1968—was based largely on fragmentary materials reported by travellers, missionaries and government officers. While certainly perceptive in many of its particular analyses, the work advanced a single formal model that purported to provide the original underlying basis for societies in eastern Indonesia. The Flow of Life challenged this model by presenting a diversity of social forms in eastern Indonesia and by convincingly representing the diverse conceptual bases of societies of the region. The Flow of Life was the first study of its kind to be based on substantial fieldwork. As the book claimed, it shifted focus from the study of models to the study of metaphors—the often highly poetic articulation of metaphors of life. This book, Life and Land in Timor-Leste, follows a trajectory set out in The Flow of Life. Like The Flow of Life, all the papers in this volume are based on considerable fieldwork. This work is, however, more specifically focused and critically formulated to consider local polities in Timor-Leste and the way in which they have survived and adapted to the Indonesian occupation, the United Nations’ presence and the present-day national development demands of an independent Timor-Leste. Despite the great attention given to Timor-Leste over the past decade, few studies have sought to examine traditional social life as framed within particular traditional polities and in different rural areas. This book should therefore have a double impact—both theoretical and practical. It opens a new window on what is occurring in Timor-Leste.

One of the most important effects of globalization has been the heightened centrality of transnationalism (Vertovec, 2009), as not only do people move more often and in higher numbers from one geographical area to another, but they are also afforded greater opportunities to maintain contacts with their places of origin. Thus, members of transnational communities often “become involved in the chronic maintenance”(Rouse, 2004, p. 30) of different worlds, a process fraught with ambiguities and contradictions. Indeed, while languages and identities are traditionally defined in mainstream discourses in either/or terms, the experience of transnational people is always one of in-betweenness. Recent research on transnational and new urban communities points indeed to widespread tendencies toward the incorporation of notions of diversity in their everyday practices (see Blommaert & Rampton, 2011) as a result of continued contact and interaction. Thus, people in situations where movement across different geographical areas and/or contact with other ethnicities and languages are the norm tend to creatively incorporate diversity in their everyday lives, navigating between old and new identity categories and conflicting language ideologies.}, keywords = {Anna De Fina}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Hu2011, title = {Constructing a Conversational Learning Community: A case study of knowledge construction and interactivity enhancement in web-based learning and Teaching.}, author = {Yuxiu Hu and Adams Bodomo}, doi = {10.5963/CISME0108007}, issn = {2222-1859}, year = {2011}, date = {2011-11-07}, journal = {Communications in Information Science and Management Engineering(CISME)}, pages = {29-34}, abstract = {Link to paper: http://www.jcisme.org/paperInfo.aspx?PaperID=13303 ISSN:2222-1859(Print) ISSN:2224-7785(Online) In this paper we propose a learning model, The Conversational Learning Community that we have been developing mostly through web-based course activities (e.g., [2,3]).

As empirical evidence for this argument we present a report of activities from a recently taught course on Language and Information Technology.

The rich North has responded with a barrage of well-publicized initiatives, from pop concerts to international commitments on debt relief, aid, trade and good governance. Among the complex of factors necessary to sustain economic and human development, education receives little media coverage, although it is crucial. However, education must be effective. This book argues that in 'Anglophone' Africa, education is not effective because of the use of English, rather than children's first languages, both as the medium of instruction, and also as the language in which children are first taught to read. Research is presented from Malawi and Zambia, countries with contrasting language policies, using evidence from tests in English and African languages, small-group discussions and classroom observation. The findings show that English-medium policies in Africa do not give students any advantage in English over first-language policies, while the use of English discriminates against girls and rural children. The book concludes that much education in Africa is a barrier rather than a bridge to learning because of the prevailing language ideology, which has resulted in massive over-estimation of the value of English. While appropriate language policies alone will not solve education and development difficulties in Africa, they do have a positive contribution to make. The evidence presented here suggests they are failing to make that contribution.}, keywords = {Cecile Vigouroux}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Keating2011, title = {Hallowed Grounds: The Role of Cultural Values, Practices, and Institutions in TMS in an Offshored Complex Engineering Services Project}, author = {Elizabeth Keating and Sirkka L.

It is, first of all, a study of and commentary on traditional concepts of Luwu Buginese as expounded by members of a high-ranking core group. In this regard, the book constitutes a clearly situated ethnography with a finely focused concentration on the ideas and social practices of a single extended family. At the same time, the book is a personal account of the process by which Errington came to understand these concepts. Errington is injured, and she is given comfort by the reading of a sacred text; she is confused and provided illumination; insects plop from the ceiling to her journal pages as she tries to write her notes. Thus, the narrative has all the flavor of "being there" which Clifford Geertz has characterized as a stylistic device of anthropological persuasion. Finally, and perhaps most difficult to characterize, the book consists of a series of shifting comparisons. Frequently, in her exegesis of Luwu concepts, Errington interrupts her discussion to point to the ideas of other populations she regards as similar. Often, she simply expands her focus to include all the various populations of South Sulawesi. Her most frequent comparisons, however, are to Java and Bali, both of which she characterizes as "hierarchical centralist states," like Luwu. Occasionally, her comparisons are to other centralist states in Southeast Asia, such as Thailand or Burma, or, for other purposes, to the specific nonhierarchical populations such as the Iban of Sarawak or the Ilongot of the Philippines. Errington uses this device of selective comparative exemplification with considerable skill; indeed, with as much literary skill as Sir James Frazer, who pioneered this methodology. All of these forms of argument are sec within a central thesis that argues that the Luwu of Sulawesi constitute a centralist state of Indic origin whose closest congenitors are Bali and Java. The "parent" of this remarkable perception and of the book itself is, as Errington readily acknowledges, Benedict Anderson's essay, "The Idea of Power in Javanese Society." On this perception, Errington builds an even more remarkable dichotomy that divides most of island Southeast Asia between a "Centrist Archipelago" that extends from Java to Luzon, embracing the Malay Peninsula in the west and Halmahera in the east, and "Eastern Indonesia," which stretches from Lombok to Aru. It is difficult to relate this division to any other categorization of the region. It ignores the comparative linguistic research of the past twenty years that has endeavored to develop systematic subgroupings among Austronesian languages; it leaves out Sumatra, which was the center of some of the earliest Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms; and it curiously separates related societies on adjacent islands: thus Lombok belongs to eastern Indonesia while Bali is in the centralist archipelago; the island of Buru is included in the centrist archipelago, whereas the neighboring island of Scram is part of Eastern Indonesia. All of the Philippines, Borneo, and Sulawesi are within the centrist archipelago. }, keywords = {James Fox}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Ferguson2011, title = {Toward a left art of government: from 'Foucauldian critique' to Foucauldian politics}, author = {James Ferguson}, doi = {10.1177/0952695111413849}, year = {2011}, date = {2011-10-13}, urldate = {2011-10-13}, journal = {History of the Human Sciences}, volume = {24}, issue = {4}, pages = {61-68}, abstract = {Many contemporary uses of Foucauldian modes of analysis to ‘critique power’ (as it is often put) today lead to a rather sterile form of political engagement, in which denunciation (the politics of the ‘anti’) takes the place of positive political programs, and the strategies of government that such positive programs necessarily entail.

We propose the features [repeat] and [return] to capture the different realizations of " repetitions " in the lexical signs of HKSL, which may take the forms of non-repeated movements, unidirectional repetitions, bidirectional repetitions, repeated local movements, returned movements and trills. We argue that repetition in HKSL involves a set of independent features which can occur at various nodes of the feature hierarchy. We propose that there is a Movement Feature (MF) node in the feature geometry under which path or local movements are grouped as sister nodes. Orientation and aperture changes are then sister nodes under the local movement node. Repetition features may occur at either the MF node or at the path or local movement node, but not lower down because they do not co-occur with either the orientation or aperture change terminal nodes.}, keywords = {Gladys Tang}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Pia2011, title = {On a Ridge between Fields: Unpacking property in land in Qing China}, author = {Andrea E.

Starting from the traditional anthropological approach which sees property rights as a 'bundle' of social relations, this paper addresses the question of how property in land was realized in Qing China. By using extensively historical material against recent anthropological analysis in the study of law, this paper seeks to break up the social concept of property into two moments: (i) the generation of'right' from context dependant modes of agricultural production and (ii) the negotiation of those 'rights' and obligations by local elites and institutional officials in light of their conflicting or convergent interests. This particular approach exposes the concept of property rights to a set of environmental, historical and political variables. At the same time, it suggests that our present interpretation of the arrangement of land property in Qing China is profoundly influenced by the theoretical debates in which the concept of property has been employed. Insofar as the 'economical' and 'institutional' approaches found in the literature employ historically 'thick' concept such as 'right', 'law' and 'value' without accounting for cultural and sociological variations, they fail to provide the basis for a contextsensitive explanation of the production of 'property relations'. To this end, this paper presents a patchwork narrative of the generation, negotiation, codification and interpretation of land rights during the Qing with the aim of understanding the critical moments in the production of property; of highlighting the interplay of different social actors in its realization; and, finally, of problematizing the academic debate on its content.}, keywords = {Andrea E.

It can also explain the seeming discrepancies and contradictions between a state’s domestic and international identities. Cultural intimacy, in other words, explains the mutual reproduction of different levels of identity. Using the concept of cultural intimacy as a departure point, this paper develops a framework for understanding incongruities in the domestic and international facades of state identity. We argue that there is a structural component to the level of discomfort caused by negative international appraisals of a given state. Structural position determines whether the domestic sources of cultural intimacy will cause shame, embarrassment or guilt, and therefore also indicate how that negative international image will be handled by the state.

This idea is based on a radical conceptual separation of the countryside and the city, which denies modern everydayness to the countryside. If we accept that the modern everyday is now present in rural China and that ordinary people are aware of ruralism and its opposites (urbanism and modernity), we need to find research methods suitable to address the entanglement and the social uses of ruralist and modernist representations in everyday life.

This paper examines how French and English adults and children (ages four and six) express Path and Manner in speech and gesture when describing voluntary motion presented in animated cartoons. The results show that English adults conflate Manner+Path in speech more often than French adults who frequently talk about Path only. Both groups gesture mainly about Path only, but English adults also conflate Manner+Path into single gestures, whereas French adults never do so. Children in both languages are predominantly adult-like in speech and gesture from age four on, but also display developmental progressions with increasing age. Finally, speech and gestures are predominantly co-expressive in both language groups and at all ages. When modalities differ, English adults typically provide less information in gesture (Path) than in speech (Manner+Path; ‘Manner modulation’ phenomenon), whereas French adults express complementary information in speech (Manner) and gesture (Path).

Four main features of modern digital ICTs make them stand out as very useful educational tools. These are integration of multimedia, flexibility of use, connectivity, and interactivity (Blurton 1999). This paper focuses on interactivity. Drawing from three years of web-based design of linguistics courses at the University of Hong Kong, it is argued that enhanced interactivity is the single most important reason why university teachers should practise web-based teaching alongside traditional face-to-face classroom teaching. Interactivity has been the subject of much discussion in constructivist approaches to teaching and learning which rely on more active participation in the learning situation on the part of the learner (Daniel and Marquis (1983), Moore (1992), Wagner (1994), Markwood and Johnstone (1994), Barnard (1995), Parker (1999) and Brogan (1999). A novel notion of conversational learning community as a kind constructivist learning environment is introduced. It is shown that instructional interactivity, defined as active communication in a conversational learning community between instructor(s), learners, course materials, and links to remote experts and resources, is a central aspect of the learning situation.

Together with the nose-flute, the drum is the oldest and most indigenous Malay instrument, and the drums that were included in royal regalia were accorded personalities of their own. Cannon were introduced much later, but quickly assumed a preeminent position as personified embodiments of extraordinary supernatural power registered in the awe-inspiring noise of their thunder-like firing. At the same time, the sounds of both cannon and drums were fused with their physical presence as representations of fertility to create a complex sensory experience, conveying messages that were central to the functioning of the society.

The experiment was conducted both orally and in written form, so that potential effects of phonological as opposed to orthographic information could be examined.

In Cyprus, for example, recent efforts have been made in the Turkish Cypriot side to revise textbooks presenting the history of Cyprus and to revise the hegemonic nationalist narrative present there. At present, such an effort is also being undertaken among educators in the Greek education system. In fact, Cyprus being since 1974 an island divided de facto into two northern and southern regions, it has developed two nationalisms constantly in competition since the 1950s. These gave birth to two separate education systems, with textbooks coming from Greece and Turkey then being dependent on the respective nationalisms of these countries. However, the revisions of textbooks in societies in conflict imply a distancing from the nationalist propaganda which is pervasive throughout the education system. This distancing must also be accompanied by recognition of the perspective and experience of minority communities that are too often invisible, despite claims for recognition on their part. Indeed, another aspect of textbooks in societies in conflict is that they do not include smaller communities.

What makes this process even more complicated is the fact that social realities themselves are often negotiated within the mould of one’s subjective conceptualisations of reality. Institutions and organisations, including people in power, often represent socio-political realities from an ideologically fuelled perspective, engendering many ‘illusory’ categories often a result of contested versions of reality. To substantiate this view, we discuss interpretations of a number of interesting contemporary and controversial laws, including America’s Patriot Act and Hong Kong’s proposed Article 23 of the Basic Law. Both laws can be seen as illustrative of the definitional conflict that abstract concepts such as democracy and human rights are subjected to in their own specific socio-political contexts. While America crowns itself with democracy and Hong Kong struggles to achieve it in effective synthesis with its unique political arrangement, the laws produced by both contrasting political systems are unexpectedly similar, aiming for the moderation of basic rights. The actions of both governments set against their beliefs and discourses, and furthermore set against one another and other media voices, particularly those of non-governmental organisations, political activists, and other socio-political groups, demonstrate contestation of realities, giving rise to ‘discursive illusions’, which seem to be interpreted not so much on the basis of their linguistic construction but more on the basis of socio-pragmatic factors, such as trust, belief, transparency, control and power.

Approaching identities as constructed in and through discourse, we start by differentiating between two competing views of construction: one that moves progressively from existing “capital-D” social discourses to the domain of identity and sense of self and the other working its way up from “small-d” discursive practices to identities and sense of self as emerging in interaction. We take this tension as our point of departure for a discussion of different theoretical and analytical lenses, focusing on how they have emerged as productive tools for theorizing the construction of identity and for doing empirical work. Three dimensions of identity construction are distinguished and highlighted as dilemmatic but deserving prominence in the discursive construction of identity: (a) the navigation of agency in terms of a person-to-world versus a world-to-person directionality; (b) the differentiation between self and other as a way to navigate between uniqueness and a communal sense of belonging and being the same as others; and (c) the navigation of sameness and change across one’s biography or parts thereof. The navigation of these three identity dilemmas is exemplified in the analysis of a stretch of conversational data, in which we bring together different analytic lenses (such as narrative, performative, conversation analytic, and positioning analysis), before concluding this chapter with a brief discussion of some of the merits and potential shortcomings of discursive approaches to identity construction.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Anna De Fina}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Fina2011bb, title = {Researcher and Informant Roles in Narrative Interactions: Constructions of Belonging and Foreign-ness}, author = {Anna De Fina}, doi = {10.1017/S0047404510000862}, year = {2011}, date = {2011-02-01}, journal = {Language in Society}, volume = {40}, number = {01}, pages = {27 - 38}, abstract = {In this article I focus on the influence of researcher/informant roles on the types of narratives that are produced and on the ways in which storytelling interactions are managed in research contexts.

The theoretical frameworks adopted are that of the Interpretability Hypothesis, according to which LF-interpretability plays a determining role in the acquisition of formal features by SLI children, and Roussou's account of the C domain in Greek. In line with these accounts, the child data was analysed with respect to feature specification, posing a distinction between pu on the one hand, specified for the interpretable feature of definiteness, and oti and pos on the other, while na holds a unique status, functioning as marker of mood/modality and a clause-typing element.

The first significant area is English for Specific Purposes (ESP), which draws its strength from linguistics, particularly from sociolinguistics, through the analyses of functional variation in language use, and curriculum studies. In fact, the ESP tradition can be considered an outcome of analysis of various forms of academic and disciplinary discourses within the framework of register analysis, and more recently, genre analysis (Swales 1990), which may be considered the second major area of study that has influenced business communication. The third main tradition, which has significantly influenced current thinking in business communication, is communication studies, which has several dimensions, some of which include organizational communication, management communication, and corporate communication, all of which are often grouped under professional communication. Unlike ESP, whichdraws its inspiration from language description, none of these rather different subareas of communication studies have been seriously influenced by studies in discourse and genre analysisuntil recently. Instead, they have traditionally drawn their strength from various communication theories. The focus in these individual dimensions of professional communication hasbeen primarily on text-external factors, including context. It is interesting to note that ofthese major traditions, two at least, i.e. ESP and communication studies, developed almost independently of each other, and remained so for a long time, the latter focusing primarily on first language users, and the former targeting second or foreign language users. Register andgenre analysis developed when the field of applied linguistics became seriously interestedin all forms of academic and professional genres, including those associated with business contexts. However, in recent years, it has been taken more seriously by both the traditions, that is, ESP as well as communication studies, especially professional communication, management communication, organizational communication and, certainly business communication. Thiscanbe represented and summarized as follows (Figure 2.1): We would now like to give more substance to this view of business communication as emerging from the recent works published in these three rather distinct areas of study and application.

This raises the issue of how the regular phonological correspondences between these three languages should be interpreted, and what phonological structure should be reconstructed for Proto-Naish. The regularities revealed by comparing the three languages are interpreted in light of potential cognates in conservative languages.

Phonological and typological works give a relatively limited place to languages ​​in which the tones are not defined simply in terms of pitch, and do not lend themselves to a decomposition into tonal levels (for example Tamang and Vietnamese). These languages ​​certainly lack morpho-phonological appeal, being devoid of tonal alternations. They nevertheless present a very real complexity, which must be taken into consideration in phonological modeling and typological generalizations. The panorama presented here brings us back to a distinction proposed more than half a century (Pike 1948) between two types of tonal organization: on the one hand the punctual tonal systems *, on the other hand the complex tonal systems *. To deepen this synchronic distinction, special attention is paid to the evolution of tonal systems: the facts of evolution are indeed excellent revealers of the nature of phonological systems.}, keywords = {Alexis Michaud}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Michaud2011m, title = {Do we need tone features?}, author = {Alexis Michaud and G.N.

The implicit claim was that features served the same functions in tonal phonology as in segmental phonology. However, with the advent of autosegmental phonology (Goldsmith 1976), much of the original motivation for tone features disappeared. Contour tones in many languages were reanalyzed as sequences of simple level tones, calling into question the need for tonal features such as [±falling]. Processes of tone copy such as L(ow) > H(igh) / __ H(igh) were reinterpreted as tone spreading instead of feature assimilation. At about the same time, a better understanding of downstep emerged which allowed many spurious tone levels to be eliminated. As a result, in spite of the vast amount of work on tone languages over the past thirty years, the number of phenomena that appear to require tone features has become significantly reduced, raising the issue whether the notion of tone features is at all useful. This paper first reviews the basic functions for which segmental features have been proposed, and then examines the evidence that tone features are needed to serve these or other functions in tone languages. The discussion focuses successively on level tones, contour tones, and register, building on examples from Africa and Asia. Our current evaluation of the evidence is that tone features, to the extent that they appear motivated at all, do not serve the same functions as segmental features.}, keywords = {Alexis Michaud}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Prasithrathsint2011, title = {Componential analysis of hearing terms in Thai}, author = {Amara Prasithrathsint and Sirivimol Sukrasorn}, year = {2011}, date = {2011-01-01}, journal = {Songklanakarin Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities}, volume = {17}, number = {2}, abstract = {Hearing terms are lexical items used for identifying sounds perceived by human beings.

The objective is to show that there is a great deal of instability and fragmentation in the forms and organization of tellings, and to expose the inherent dangers of such a conception in theoretical methodological terms. The editors argue that concentrating on coherence leads to the neglect of narratives and narrative phenomena that do not fit the canon, to a bias that leads researchers to look for coherence at all costs, and to a lack of attention to the voice of populations and individuals who have been traumatized or marginalized. The contributions develop this challenge against coherence-based narrative perspectives in three different subject areas: the arts, illness, and trauma in the political context. In Chapter 2, Maria Medved and Jens Brockmeier argue against a direct connection between mental well-being and narrative coherence, as well as against the equation of the latter with the establishment of self identity. They illustrate how the study of autobiographical narratives based on these premises leads to particularly misleading conclusions in the case of individuals whose ability to produce coherent narratives has been impaired by neurological damage. The meaning and coherence of narratives told by those individuals can only be fully appreciated when taking into account their autobiographical history, the sociocultural context in which narratives and narrators are situated, and the intersubjective context in which the stories are told. In Chapter 3, Lars Christer Hydén emphasizes that autobiographical stories, which are overwhelmingly studied from the point of view of coherence and referential content, should be analyzed as loci for identity work in interaction. Much of the chapter is devoted to discussing phenomena that have been at the center of recent linguistic literature on identity and storytelling: the distinction between narrators and characters, the use of evaluation to convey moral stance and to negotiate identity and performance strategies. An interesting point, which would have deserved greater development, is the observation that people whose memory and communicative capacities have been impaired, such as Alzheimer’s patients, still seem to be able to manage the interactional delivery of a story and to convey their evaluation of events, even when they seem to have lost the ability to reconstruct those events in a coherent fashion. In Chapter 4, Tarja Aaltonen uses conversation analysis and cognitive narratology to analyze storytelling in interactions involving individuals whose communicative ability is severely impaired. She argues that the concept of “mind-reading” provided by cognitive narratology can be used to describe the ways in which storytelling is accomplished in interactions between Aphasic patients and their interlocutors. Maria Tamboukou devotes Chapter 5 to the analysis of paintings and letters by the Welsh artist Gwen John in order to argue against a vision of narrative as characterized by the use of linear time (Chronos) and of the self as constituted in unity and continuity. Central to her analysis is the Deleuzian concept of an event as something that is not accomplished but rather opens up possibilities of interpretation and creates occasions for new self-constructions. Tamboukou shows how Gwen John uses letter writing as an elusive sense-making occasion, and how she blurs and creates different selves and positions that cannot be collapsed into unity. Chapter 6, by Linda Sandino, focuses on life stories told by applied artists. Sandino uses Ricoeur’s conception of identity as “a dialectic between sameness (idem) and change (ipse)” (87) to analyze artists’ life stories and their identity constructions as a project in fieri, a process which is never completed. Central to the analysis is also the idea that the constitution of identity happens through the confrontation of the artist with the object s/he produces and with the work of other artists.

This unprecedented development has been spurred by a growing realization that identity negotiations are at the heart of many social encounters in a variety of contexts, and that former sociolinguistic paradigms treating identity as a parameter of language variation related to fixed social categories such as age, social class or gender (see Labov, 1972) did not allow for an in-depth analysis of how postmodern men and women index and convey their identities in discourse. The same can be said about the shortcomings of pragmatically oriented research that equated identity with subjectivity and regarded it as a projection of intentions and feelings of the self onto utterances, reflected in models of politeness (Brown and Levinson, 1987) and enunciation studies (Benveniste, 1971 [1966]). The affirmation of a social constructionist paradigm (see Potter, 1996; De Fina, Schiffrin and Bamberg, 2006; De Fina, 2011a) in discourse studies of identity has been a response to the need for a flexible conception of identity that can capture the complexities of the processes through which images of the self and membership allegiances are conveyed, declared, attributed and negotiated in concrete social encounters.}, keywords = {Anna De Fina}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @book{Omar2011, title = {Teori dan Kaedah Nahu: Sejarah Pertumbuhan Aliran Pemikiran}, author = {Asmah Haji Omar}, year = {2011}, date = {2011-01-01}, publisher = {Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP)}, keywords = {Asmah Haji Omar}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {book} } @book{Perrin2011bb, title = {Collective order.

Besides the violence of poverty and marginalisation, the Greek crisis has already been associated with a profound increase in the rate of suicide and violent crimes; recent research has also revealed a dramatic impact on the general health of the population (http://www. thelancet. com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736% 2811% 2961556-0/fulltext). In this piece I will not focus on structural violence so much as on acts of physical violence performed publicly in Athens during recent political events. This kind of violence is a social event and often even a means of communication. It is a form of social interaction bearing meanings and reifying certain cultural rules. Publicly performed political violence often has organizational principles—a grammar—comprised of enforced practices, achieved via repetition and fragile political and practical dynamics. This explains why, for instance, in certain cities (eg Seoul or Athens) the use of petrol bombs by demonstrators is accepted/expected while elsewhere it is out of the question. This grammar sets certain limits in the public expression of violence.

Under this banner, a project of neoliberal urban re-development prevailed for a decade or so. This was a period of economic growth powered by the emerging European Monetary Union and the linked neoliberal adjustments, including a rapidly increasing economy of credit and an abundance of inexpensive labor. This labor was mainly offered by migrants [1] who came from collapsing former socialist states, especially Albania [2], but also by underemployed youth [3]. During this period, metropolitan spatialities were “(re) generated” through the continuous (re) development of the greater Athens cityscape. This involved the building of Olympic facilities, a new airport, new highways, a subway system, tram network along with new shopping malls, to mention but a few of the new urban materialities. This materialization of the “utopia of unlimited exploitation”[4] was accompanied by an inflated sense of collective optimism and national pride, linked to the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the international success of Greek athletes. This optimism was linked also to the material “newness” of the spectacular construction projects and the promises of new lifestyles that were radiated from the TV screens of a re-emerging “society of the spectacle”. The large-scale and continuous reconfiguration of spatial materialities is at the heart of neoliberal urban development [5].

In addition to speakers of Austronesian-derived Malayic languages in the Peninsula, Sumatra and coastal Borneo, there are some fifteen ethnolinguistic groups who speak Mon-Khmer languages. Historically, these indigenous populations have followed a variety of appropriative modes, including nomadic foraging (forest, strand and maritime), farming (swidden, swamp and irrigated), lake and maritime fishing, the collecting of forest and maritime products for trade, and long-distance inter-regional trading. Their socio-political circumstances have ranged from tribal, through peasants and hereditary state-linked elites linked to long-distance trade, to citizens of modern nation-states. The influence of the various centres of civilization that were present in the region in pre-modern times was also of key importance: coastal trading states, colonial-response states, inland sacred-city (or ‘middle kingdom’) states and cultural suppletion (or mainland migration) states. While some of these were nested into mandala-like or ‘galactic’ polities, the others had quite different consequences. Egalitarianism and ranking in the region both derive in large measure from the emergence of certain structural features – concerning relative-age, unifiliative bias, preferential marriage patterns, and so on – all serving to maintain mutually distinctive societal regimes within the broader regional framework. Earlier theories explained this array as resulting from distinct migratory ‘waves’, but current evidence (from archaeology, linguistics, kinship and social organization, religion, genetics, and other disciplines) suggests that it emerged mostly indigenously through a series of deliberate mutual adjustments, both assimilatory and dissimilatory, between populations that were each seeking mutual advantages vis-à-vis each other.

Our contribution is an attempt to make some headway in the latter, surprisingly less mined, life-span sphere. Hence, much of this essay (together with new empirical data) will necessarily revolve around intergenerational phenomena and processes. We raise questions as to how we accommodate to, and communicate about, our cultural and mortal identities, and how, as scholars interested in human communication, we can best deal with the ephemeral nature of human bodies as Haugen did with respect to the sometimes ephemeral nature of cultures and lan-guages. Our orientations are guided by three principles and are illustrated with examples from different research domains. We place particular em-phasis on interactive problems and miscommunication since our theoreti-cal approach has applied aspirations (see Fishman 1995). Throughout we adhere, implicitly, to a further fundamental principle: that the personal and social identities (such as age and ethnicity) to which we subscribe are complexly formed, made salient, and reconstructed through the conjoint actions of our own, and others', sociolinguistic behaviors. Finally, we attempt to integrate the domains and principles with some speculative ideas for future research and practice. }, keywords = {Howard Giles}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Giles2011i, title = {Accommodating a New Frontier: The context of law enforcement}, author = {Howard Giles and M.

And yet, the art of effective communication can be extremely demanding and elusive, because a tricky trade-off problem has to be solved. For communication to be successful, it must be at once informative - somehow indicating an intended direction of thought or action - as well as subtle - somehow concealing intentions and instrumental goals. Failure to meet the former criterion renders communication uncontrolled and haphazard; failure to meet the latter raises suspicion and reactance. The chapters in this volume focus on the tools and repertoires evolved by social communication in order to deal with this demanding trade-off. They represent prominent paradigms of current research at the interface of communication and social psychology, presented by leading scholars who have played crucial roles in the development of those paradigms. The sixteen chapters are grouped into four major sections: communication within and between groups and cultures; strategic communication; social communication, affect, and behaviour regulation; and social communication and adaptive behaviour regulation. Individual chapters are devoted to such intriguing topics as stereotypes and intergroup affairs, language and culture, deception and lie detection, persuasion, discussions in groups, logic of conversation, nonverbal cues, conversational implicatures, the impact of conversation situations and social distance, and the evolution of verbal communication. The volume is framed by an introduction and an epilog.

Our results show first of all that typological properties influence the information density of children’s utterances. Regardless of age, children express denser semantic information in Chinese than in English because of the availability in Chinese of an easily accessible resultative verb compound which facilitates the simultaneous encoding of varied semantic components for motion. Second, a striking developmental tendency occurs in English between the ages of 3 to 5 and adulthood, whereas in Chinese such a developmental tendency is significantly less pronounced.

We start with a simple observation - one which we understand to have informed work in conversation analysis from its very inception: for anything that co-conversationalists talk about, there are multiple ways in which it can be described. Schegloff (1988) notes that two aspects of this have been examined in conversation analytic studies. First, and most commonly, conversation analysts since Sacks (1972a, 1972b) and Schegloff (1972) have described the ways in which speakers select from different types of forms in specific domains. For instance, in initial references to non-present persons, speakers can use either recognitional or non-recognitional reference forms (Sacks and Schegloff, 1979; Sacks, 1995; Schegloff, 1996; Enfield and Stivers, eds., 2007). Second, and less commonly, conversation analysts have considered the way in which next speakers may offer alternative and competing descriptions, characterizations or formulations of the same state of affairs (Schegloff, 1988; Drew, 1992). Consider example 1 below. Here, in a conversation between friends, the same activity is described alternately as “drinking” and “having liquor.”.}, keywords = {Jack Sidnell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Essegbey2011b, title = {The macro-event property: The segmentation of causal chains}, author = {James Essegbey and Jürgen Bohnemeyer and N.

In the simplest case, semantic typology investigates how an identical perceptual stimulus is categorized across languages. The problem examined in this article is that of event segmentation. To the extent that events are perceivable, this may be understood as the representation of dynamic stimuli in chunks of linguistic code with categorical properties. For illustration, consider an example from a classic study on event cognition (Jenkins, Wald and Pittenger 1986): a woman prepares a cup of tea. She unwraps a tea bag, puts it into the cup, gets a kettle of water from the kitchen, pours the water into the cup, etc. This action sequence can be diagrammed schematically as in fig. 3.1. It is conceivable that at some level of “raw” perception – before the onset of any kind of categorization – the action sequence is represented as a continuous flux. But it is hard to imagine how higher cognitive operations of recognition and inference could operate without segmenting the stream of perceived activity into units that are treated as instances of conceptual categories. Let us call the intentional correlates of such categories ‘events.’ Regardless of whether or not one assumes internal representations of the action sequence to operate on event concepts, linguistic representations of it do require segmentation into units that can be labeled as instances of unwrapping a tea bag, pouring water into a cup, and so on.}, keywords = {James Essegbey}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @bachelorthesis{Fox2011c, title = {Re-Considering Eastern Indonesia}, author = {James Fox}, doi = {10.1163/156853111X565850}, year = {2011}, date = {2011-01-01}, urldate = {2011-01-01}, journal = {Asian Journal of Social Science}, volume = {2}, issue = {39}, pages = {131-149}, abstract = {Eastern Indonesia has been a region of international interest since its identification as a source of spices and rare woods.

Southern Peruvian Quechua provides a valuable comparison because, unlike English, it is a highly inflected language in which generics are marked by the absence rather than the presence of any linguistic markers. Moreover, Quechua is spoken in a cultural context that differs markedly from the highly educated, middle-class contexts within which earlier research on generics was conducted. We presented participants from 5 age groups (3-6, 7-9, 10-12, 14-35, and 36-90 years of age) with two tasks that examined the ability to distinguish generic from non-generic utterances. In Study 1, even the youngest children understood generics as applying broadly to a category (like "all") and distinct from indefinite reference ("some"). However, there was a developmental lag before children understood that generics, unlike "all", can include exceptions. Study 2 revealed that generic interpretations are more frequent for utterances that (a) lack specifying markers and (b) are animate. Altogether, generic interpretations are found among the youngest participants, and may be a default mode of quantification.

In September 2002, we started teaching at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), as part of a comprehensive research programme in African languages at the Department of Linguistics, a summer course and workshop in African Studies (SCOWAS). The main aim of the course was to create an atmosphere for graduate students and professors of Linguistics to elicit primary research materials on African languages and for students at the University of Hong Kong to learn an African language and culture, and this was indeed the first time that such a course was being offered anywhere in Hong Kong. The course and materials we produced were meant to be as naturalistic as possible based on and embedded in everyday African life in the rural areas of Africa where the language is used in its purest form. Conversational Language Learning In terms of language learning theories and frameworks, this book is based on the first author’s theory of learning termed Conversational Learning Theory which highlights the important notion of Conversational Learning Community (CLC). CLC has been employed in the production of learning materials for languages such as Dagaare and Zhuang, the largest minority language spoken in China, and in the development of web-based materials for learning linguistics and related disciplines like Information Technology. This theory, as applied here, involves the creation of a sense of community among learners by gradually building up dialogues and activities based on everyday activities such greetings, introducing oneself, counting, making appointments, buying and selling things in the market, talking about the weather, giving directions, talking about family relations, eating and drinking, etc. The performance of these dialogues and the exercises associated with them are essential for creating a context in which learners use the language as if they were living everyday life as Akan people. New words and expressions are listed in each chapter to highlight them and to indicate when they first appeared. There is a more comprehensive Akan-English word list or abridged lexicon at the end of the book to serve as a handy reference for vocabulary acquisition. Grammatical points are not explicitly tabulated but the exercises form the basis for discussing these. ix 2010 x / LET’S SPEAK TWI: A PROFICIENCY COURSE IN AKAN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE Orthographic Representation Akan is a member of the Kwa branch of the Niger-Congo language family and it is mainly spoken in Ghana. It is encoded in the alphabetic writing system, which is well-established and widely used. However, it is important to note that, in documents written in Akan, some phonemes in the language are represented by different graphemes or alphabets from one author to the other. There are thirty-one graphemes including nine diagraphs in Akan: a, b, d, e, E, f, g, h, i, k, l, m, n, o, O, p, r, s, t, u, w, y, ky, gy, hy, tw, dw, ny, kw, hw, nw. Akan is a two-tone language. The two tones are high (H) and low (L). H tone is indicated by the acute (’) and L tone is indicated by the grave (‘). The tones can sometimes be the only distinguishing factor between words (see (1)) and phrases (see (2)). In other words, tones could be lexically and grammatically significant in Akan. See Appendix A for more examples. 1. a. p´ap´a ‘goodness’ b. p`ap`a ‘fan’ c. p`ap´a ‘father’ 2. a. K`ofi ´nk´as´a ‘Kofi should talk.’ b. K`ofi `nk´as´a ‘Kofi does not talk’ Akan is a large language group with several regional varieties. The three most prominent are Asante Twi, Akuapem Twi, and Fante. This textbook mostly teaches Asante Twi forms, although Fante forms are sometimes given. Although the term Akan refers to all three varieties (as well as several others), throughout this text we use the terms ‘Akan’ and ‘Twi’ interchangeably, as people also often do in Ghana. Acknowledgments This book is result of many years of research into Akan language, culture, and society. We are very grateful to the University of Hong Kong and the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong for enthusiastically funding our research on Akan and other African languages through the RGC project number 10205398, the University Teaching Development Fund project number 10100188, and the KK Leung project numbers 21374047 and 21374058. The first author is very grateful to the second, who as doctoral candidate and later research assistant and tutor for the summer course on Twi, worked on many of his research projects involving Akan and other African languages. We are also grateful to members of the Linguistic Theory and Technology group who served as sounding boards for many issues on the structure of Akan first presented at our research meetings. We thank staff and students of the Faculty of Arts, especially those who have been taking our Summer Course in African Linguistics andWorkshop in African Studies (SCOWAS), for their enthusiasm in participating in our research on Akan language and culture.

Such multi- sourced neologization constitutes a culturally-loaded camouflaged borrowing. The article explores this camouflaged borrowing in two key language categories: 1. ̳Reinvented‘, standardized and puristically-oriented languages, in which language- planners attempt to replace undesirable loanwords, e.g. Israeli and Revolutionized Turkish (and Icelandic). 2. Languages using ̳phono-logographic‘ script, e.g. Chinese and Japanese (in the latter – to the extent that kanji are used). For puristic language planners, such multisourced neologization of „one word, two parents‟, is an ideal means of lexical expansion because it conceals foreign influence from the future native speakers, ensuring lexicographic acceptability of the coinage, recycles obsolete autochthonous roots and words (a delight for purists) and aids initial learning among contemporary learners and speakers.

Why do migrants living outside their home-countries build houses there even though they do not plan to return? I seek to answer this question in the case of Albania by focusing empirically on the process of constructing these houses, rather than merely on the material entity of the house as such. I propose that such 'house-making' by Albanian migrants is not only a simple house-building process; it also ensures a constant dwelling and dynamic 'proxy' presence for migrants in their community of origin.

Sociolinguists working on identity within the sociocultural framework have therefore turned their back on any dialectological questions, preferring to focus on how linguistic features may contextually index a social identity as part of ‘styles’ (rather than ‘varieties of language’). This paper critically examines the work of two American anthropologists and linguists, Mary Bucholtz and Kira Hall, from the vantage point of an integrational critique of linguistics (cf. also Pablé and Haas, 2010). The focal point of our critique is the conviction that ‘identities’, as first-order communicational phenomena, cannot be the object of scientific empirical research because this presupposes that indexical values are viewed as micro-contextually determined and available to outsiders with an ‘insider view’. The integrationist, in turn, sees ‘identity’ as a metadiscursive label used by lay speakers to cope with their everyday first-order experience.

The child and adult data from the SPM task is further compared with frequency counts of the readings that some of these verbs exhibit in written corpora of Greek (ILSP corpus (formal register) and a Web-based corpus created via automatic searches on the Internet (informal register).

This paper will adopt a different strategy, and examine the evidence internal to the script itself. That is to say, it will seek to clarify the dating of various readings of the Chinese characters and their phonetic components used in the script, by comparing these readings with the reconstructed historical pronunciation of the same graphs in Chinese at various periods. The following discussion is based on a survey of the traditional script in 45 locations spread across Guangxi, Guizhou, eastern Yunnan, and northern Vietnam. The survey is based on attested readings from traditional texts, rather than dictionary entries. Given the complexity of the issues involved, I will proceed by analysing readings for a single example, naeuz (nAu 2)‘to tell’, a common word in the Northern dialects of Zhuang and Bouyei (Yay). HCT seems not to have listed this word, which is not found under either ‘to speak’or ‘to tell’. Nor is it listed in Liang Min and Zhang Junru’s Dong-Tai yuzu gailun, or in Xing Gongwan’s Han-Taiyu bijiao shouce. The Zhuang dialect survey lists this item (ZhYFYYJ, p. 715, item 821), which is glossed as 告訴 ‘to inform’. In this source, nau 2 is found consistently in most Northern Zhuang and a few Southern Zhuang locations, while other areas have other morphemes such as lun 6 (lGn 6), kau 5, or ha 4 (ja 4).}, keywords = {Amara Prasithrathsint}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{French2010, title = {Comment on Trinch’s risky subjects}, author = {Brigittine French}, doi = {10.1007/s10624-009-9106-9}, year = {2010}, date = {2010-06-01}, journal = {Dialectical Anthropology}, volume = {34}, number = {2}, pages = {205-207}, abstract = {Trinch’s article provides a thought-provoking consideration of the risks involved for abuse victims in telling their story. In bringing together two seemingly different types of narrative, Trinch compels us to consider what they share. First, there are similarities in the interactional production of the written versions of Rigoberta Menchu ´’s published testimonio and the stories which survivors of domestic abuse tell to paralegals. In both situations, the stories were/are told to an interested interlocutor who works to produce a written account in the first-person narrative of the storyteller. Second, Trinch’s analysis of the controversy surrounding Menchu ´’s testimonio and of the process by which the domestic abuse survivors’ written affidavits are produced highlights the risks involved for people reporting abuse. At the immediate level is the risk of antagonising their abusers, and on another level are the risks in the ways in which their story is transformed in the recontextualisation process, and the subsequent risks for the narrators involved in being seen as not ‘telling the truth’, or as embellishing the ‘facts’. It is this second level of risks which Trinch addresses, exposing powerful language ideologies about narrative truth relevant to the reception of these two different types of narrative. Building on her important (2003) book, Trinch’s work here on the interactional and entextualised nature of narrative production advances both the sociolinguistic analysis of narrative and linguistic anthropological work on language ideologies. Here, I take up Trinch’s point about the role of what she has referred to as the ‘ideology of narrator authorship’ (Trinch 2003, pp. 49–50) in the risks faced by victims of abuse in telling their story. As she explains in the article under review, ‘most listeners believe that the teller is the sole author of the narrative drafted’. This belief ignores the contributions to narratives made by interaction with interlocutors, for example by interviewers’ questions or listeners’ reactions, whether verbal or nonverbal.

While the analysis revealed a similar three-dimensional perceptual space structure for both listener groups, corresponding roughly to f(0) offset, voice quality, and contour type, the relative salience of these dimensions varied by dialect: Southern listeners were more likely to confuse tones produced with nonmodal voice quality, whereas Northern listeners found tones with similar pitch excursions to be more confusable.

Recent developmental research suggests that children's language acquisition is constrained by such typological properties from an early age on, but the relative role of such constraints in language and cognitive development is still much debated (Bowerman 2007; Bowerman and Choi, 2003; Slobin 1996, 2003a, 2003b, 2006). In the context of this debate, we compare the expression of motion in two data bases of child English vs. French: 1) experimentally induced productions about caused motion (adults and children of three to ten years); 2) spontaneous productions about varied types of motion events during earlier phases of acquisition (18 months to three years). The results of both studies show that the density of information about motion increases with age in both languages, particularly after the age of five years. However, they also show striking cross-linguistic differences. At all ages the semantic density of utterances about motion is higher in English than in French. English speakers systematically use compact structures to express multiple types of information (typically MANNER and CAUSE in main verbs, PATH in other devices). French speakers rely more on verbs and/or distribute information in more varied ways across parts of speech.

The first is to describe a cluster of typologically interesting syntactic features of relativization in Dàgáárè in the light of the fact that no detailed description exists in the literature. The second is to demonstrate that relative clauses in Dàgáárè are head-internal relative clauses (HIRCs), even though they are, on the surface, postnominal relative clauses, like those in English. Thus, they are not of the in-situ type of HIRC that is well known in the literature. We call this type of relative clause a left-headed HIRC. This type of relativization has rarely been noticed cross-linguistically in the previous literature and therefore is of considerable significance for general linguistics, linguistic typology, as well as theoretical linguistics. Evidence comes from coordination in possessor relativization and PP relativization.

It is also a region of great historical importance, being a) adjacent to the likely homeland from which Bantu-speaking people migrated across most of sub-Saharan Africa 3000-5000 years ago and b) the location of Calabar, one of the largest centres during the Atlantic slave trade. Over 1000 DNA samples from 24 clans representing speakers of the six most prominent languages in the region were collected and typed for Y-chromosome (SNPs and microsatellites) and mtDNA markers (Hypervariable Segment 1) in order to examine whether there has been substantial gene flow between groups speaking different languages in the region. In addition the Cross River region was analysed in the context of a larger geographical scale by comparison to bordering Igbo speaking groups as well as neighbouring Cameroon populations and more distant Ghanaian communities.Results: The Cross River region was shown to be extremely homogenous for both Y-chromosome and mtDNA markers with language spoken having no noticeable effect on the genetic structure of the region, consistent with estimates of inter-language gene flow of 10% per generation based on sociological data. However the groups in the region could clearly be differentiated from others in Cameroon and Ghana (and to a lesser extent Igbo populations). Significant correlations between genetic distance and both geographic and linguistic distance were observed at this larger scale.Conclusions: Previous studies have found significant correlations between genetic variation and language in Africa over large geographic distances, often across language families. However the broad sampling strategies of these datasets have limited their utility for understanding the relationship within language families. This is the first study to show that at very fine geographic/linguistic scales language differences can be maintained in the presence of substantial gene flow over an extended period of time and demonstrates the value of dense sampling strategies and having DNA of known and detailed provenance, a practice that is generally rare when investigating sub-Saharan African demographic processes using genetic data.}, keywords = {Bruce Connell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Ladegaard2010, title = {Popular Perceptions of Standard Language: Attitudes to 'Regional Standards' in Denmark}, author = {Hans Ladegaard}, doi = {10.1080/09658410108667023}, year = {2010}, date = {2010-03-29}, urldate = {2010-03-29}, journal = {Language Awareness June}, volume = {1}, number = {1}, pages = {25-40}, abstract = {This paper is concerned with popular perceptions of standard language in Denmark.

Many theories on translation (e.g., Larson 1984, Malmkjaer 2005) emphasize that the translated text must have the same meaning as the original text. Thus, it seems that " meaning " or " semantic equivalence " is the key concept in translation. However, several scholars in the field of translation (e.g., Bell 1991, Catford 1986, Nida and Taber 2003,) have shown that good translation does not depend on meaning alone and that structural and pragmatic equivalence are also necessary in translation. Even so, I find that is still inadequate. One important component of good translation is missing in the past literature. That is sociolinguistic equivalence. Thus, in this paper, I will argue that sociolinguistic features that mark social group identity and speech situations need to be transferred effectively from the source language to the target language in order to have a good translation equivalent. The analysis of the present study is based on data of bilingual texts taken from two novels and their translations. The first one is the Thai novel Time in the bottle written by Praphatsorn Seiwikun and its English version by Phongdeit Jiangphatthanarkit and Marcel Barang. The second one is the American novel The Color Purple by Alice Walker and its Thai version by Akaramunee Wannapraphai. The analysis was done by comparing each pair of the texts focusing on sociolinguistic markers that are transferred or not transferred. Sociolinguistic markers mean linguistic variables or features that indicate, on the one hand, the social background or identity of a speaker of a language and, on the other hand, the situation in which the speech takes place. Labov (1972: 179) emphasizes the important role of sociolinguistic markers in identifying the speaker and the speech style. Halliday (1970) proposes the terms " users " and " uses " to represent the two dimensions of speech. Sociolinguistic studies show that no speech is uttered in a vacuum. All utterances are related to social variables, as mentioned above. In other words, language varies according to social factors. Therefore, it is necessary that a translator take this into account in order to achieve the best output. First, he/she has to consider significant linguistic features that correspond to characteristics of the speaker, such as age, gender, social class, and ethnicity. Then, he/she should focus on eminent features related to situational features. If these features are overlooked, then the output of translation may be of mediocre quality. The first dimension of sociolinguistic markers is speakers' or users' dimension. Examples of this dimension are shown in Table 1. As can be seen in Table 1, linguistic variation related to the speaker's characteristics is common in pronunciation. In Thai, if a person pronounces /r/ as [l] in a word like rak 'love', he/she is likely to be taken as younger than a person who pronounces the same word with [r]. In English, gender and social class influence the pronunciation of the-ing form, as in playing, and the post-vocalic /r/, as in car, respectively. Studies show that men use the [-in] variant more than women, and that it is likely that the working class pronounce the post}, keywords = {Amara Prasithrathsint}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } @book{Fina2010bb, title = {Telling stories: Language, narrative, and social life}, author = {Anna De Fina and Deborah Schiffrin and Anastasia Nylund}, year = {2010}, date = {2010-03-09}, publisher = {Georgetown University Press}, abstract = {Narratives are fundamental to our lives: we dream, plan, complain, endorse, entertain, teach, learn, and reminisce through telling stories.

The focus of the discussion is on the metropolitan city of Cape Town (with its three-language profile, Afrikaans, English and isiXhosa). The methodology uses small-area statistics to understand the role of social variables (social class, age and gender) in structuring processes of past and present language shift.

Our account relies on the technical mechanisms of agreement as outlined in Chomsky (1995, 2001), in particular a variant of Chomsky’s (2008) proposal regarding feature inheritance by non-phase heads of features belonging to phase heads, combined with Gallego’s (2006) notion of phase-sliding. We also utilise some aspects of Müller’s (2004) analysis of ergativity, and propose an account of a typological generalisation regarding the absence of person-driven auxiliary selection first put forward in Kayne (2000:127) in the Germanic languages. To the extent that the analyses proposed successfully apply the mechanisms put forward in the recent versions of the minimalist program, the postulation of these mechanisms is supported by our analysis with evidence from a new empirical domain.

To date comparative work has tended to focus on the empirical evidence supplied by case studies, pointing to similarities in modes of coastal livelihood, involvement in maritime trade networks, navigational and ship-building skills, and the nature of gender relations. These studies have also shown that the lives of peoples economically reliant on the sea are fraught with unpredictability, and that belief in omens and the efficacy of spirit propitiation are a common means of ensuring good fortune in fishing or trade as well as protection against shipwreck or pirate attack. Not surprisingly, such beliefs can readily be found in maritime societies around the “single ocean” that reaches from Africa to Japan, where legends and cosmological beliefs gave sea deities and the rituals associated with them a central place. In examining a range of literary and historical sources from the premodern period, this paper argues that a preoccupation with the sea was retained even as beliefs and practices associated with world religions like Islam or Buddhism were adopted.

The contribution of the present study is to examine the deployment of quotative be like as a meaningful resource during talk in interaction. The data have been taken from recordings of classroom sexuality-education activities in a Year 12 (age 16) Health programme in New Zealand. Participants deploy be like as a resource for the management of conversation, using it to frame their contributions as versions of opinions which are up for analysis. Be like stimulates collaboration and/or evaluation from the other participants, and after debate the original version can be modified or retracted without fear of censure. Concurrently be like enables rapport management, allowing for face work and the fulfilling of role-based responsibilities while speakers pursue the transactional goals of a sexuality-focused lesson. It is not clear, from these data, whether these are the primary interactional functions of be like or merely two functions amongst many.

This now-annual event and the present volume it spawned bear witness to the fact that, over recent decades, researchers working on the syntax of the dialects of Italy have figured heavily in much of the generative literature, coming to assume a central role in setting and shaping the research agenda through their investigations of such topics as auxiliary selection, subject and object clitics, negation, wh-movement and the functional architecture of the clause. One need only think of the pioneering work of such linguists as Paola Benincà, Anna Cardinaletti, Richard Kayne, Michele Loporcaro, Rita Manzini, Nicola Munaro, Cecilia Poletto, Leonardo Savoia, Nigel Vincent and Raffaella Zanuttini, to name just a few, who have shown how the dialects offer fertile, and often virgin, territory in which to profitably study, among other things, parametric variation. While neighbouring dialects tend to be closely related to each other, manifestly displaying in most cases a high degree of structural homogeneity, they do nonetheless often diverge minimally in significant and interesting ways which allow the linguist to isolate and observe what lies behind surface differences in particular parametric settings across a range of otherwise highly homogenized grammars. By drawing on such microvariation, it is possible to determine which phenomena are correlated with particular parametric options and how such relationships are mapped onto the syntax. Furthermore, many of the dialects boast rich and long literary traditions (dating back as far as the late tenth century) which, coupled with an abundance of diachronic and synchronic variation, offer the historical linguist a rare opportunity to explore the structural evolution of a vast number of lesserknown Romance varieties. The historical evidence of the dialects has therefore often been subject to in-depth study in recent years (cf. research by, among others, Benincà, Cennamo, La Fauci, Loporcaro, Parry, Vanelli, Vincent), }, keywords = {Ian Roberts}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @bachelorthesis{Piller2010c, title = {The bilingual edge: why, when, and how to teach your child a second language}, author = {Ingrid Piller}, doi = {10.1080/13670050802645942}, year = {2010}, date = {2010-01-01}, urldate = {2010-01-01}, journal = {International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism}, volume = {13}, issue = {1}, pages = {115-118}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {bachelorthesis} } @book{Essegbey2010, title = {Topics in Kwa Syntax}, author = {James Essegbey and Enoch O.

Kwa includes a total of 45 related languages. The nine chapters each address a separate grammatical aspect of Kwa. These range from topics such as the verb phrase, argument structure, verb serialization and complex predicates, to discussions on tense, mood, and aspect and their relation to the structure of sentences. Also addressed are the structure of the noun phrase and the syntax of discourse particles. The studies in this volume demonstrate that Kwa languages offer a very rich empirical domain for linguistic theorizing. In this book, experts who are mostly native speakers present empirical data and show its theoretical relevance to comparative linguistics and comparative syntax. The book brings together a wealth of material and fresh insights and is a superb example of how empirical research feeds into typological and theoretical linguistics.

On the basis of a careful reading of Husserl’s books and lecture notes, four claims are put forward that help clarify in what sense intersubjectivity is a broader and more fundamental notion than currently assumed in the social sciences. In particular, it is argued that for Husserl intersubjectivity is more than shared or mutual understanding and is closer to the notion of the possibility of being in the place where the Other is. Furthermore, intersubjectivity is the source of objectivity and not always or necessarily something to be achieved or negotiated through verbal communication or other means. In fact, in its most basic sense, Husserlian intersubjectivity includes a mode of participation in the natural and material world that does not even require an immediately perceivable human presence. Following this discussion, it is suggested that the full range of meanings of intersubjectivity found in Husserl’s writings can be used as the basis for a study of the human condition that has a chance to unite all subfields of anthropology as practiced in the US.

Today, as a consequence of the Treaty of Lausanne (1923), it is spoken both within and outside Greece. Within Greece it is mainly spoken in Macedonia, Thrace, and to a lesser extent in Attica. Outside Greece it is spoken in the Pontus region –the historical berceau of all Pontic varieties– but also in Istanbul, in Caucasus and by diaspora communities across the world. Although Pontic in Greece seems to be robust in terms of number of speakers, in real terms the majority of speakers is severely attrited. Indicative of the attrition situation is that although the number of Pontians is quite significant (above 2 million in Greece alone) only a fraction of the population (200,000 or 300,000 depending on the estimates) is reported to be active speakers of the dialect. Due to the geographical dispersion of Pontic, it is important to note that the term Pontic, synchronically, can only be used as an “umbrella” term for the various subdialects, which, crucially, can diverge significantly from each other (e.g., “Christian” vs. “Muslim” Pontic, cf. Mackridge 1987). For the purpose of this paper we use the term “Pontic” to refer to the Pontic varieties of Northern Greece. Greek dialectal syntax is notoriously understudied primarily because of all the efforts –perpetuating at both social and institutional level– to erase dialectal variation and instead, impose linguistic uniformity in the name of Standard Modern Greek (henceforth SMG) (for the same view see also Ralli 2007). Within this context, work on dialectal syntax is urgently needed and our present article aims at contributing towards this direction. The goal of the article is twofold: first, to describe the discourse phenomenon of topicalisation in Pontic syntactically; and, second, to suggest a (cartographic) analysis casted within the generative framework thus making the present work the first attempt of this kind. The paper is organised as follows: Section 2 presents the main syntactic features of Pontic that differentiate it from the standard variety. Section 3 describes our methodology. Section 4 discusses topicalisation strategies in Pontic. Section 5 proposes a syntactic analysis of topicalisation in Pontic. Finally, section 6 concludes the discussion. }, keywords = {Ioanna Sitaridou}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {proceedings} } @article{Pablé2010c, title = {Essentialism, codification and the sociolinguistics of identity}, author = {Adrian Pablé and Marc Haas}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.5169/seals-131297}, isbn = {9783823366133}, year = {2010}, date = {2010-01-01}, journal = {Swiss Papers in English Language and Literature (SPELL)}, pages = {33-46}, abstract = {This paper critically examines the work and discourse of two American anthropologists and linguists, Maty Bucholtz and Kira Hall, from the vantage point of an integrational critique of linguistics.

As a consequence, Bucholtz and Hall's insistence that they are not "fixed-code" linguists seems little credible, precisely because, unlike integrationists, they cannot subscribe to the view that signs are radically indeterminate: ethnography of communication, after all, relies on data collection and data analysis.

Today, Italian ranks ninth among the non-English languages spoken in the USA, with nearly 800,000 persons still using it as their home language. Although the number of US speakers of Italian has been continuously declining (as shown in Table 1.1), interest in the Italian language and culture has been rekindled by recent changes in Italy's public image in the USA as well as by increased opportunities for contact with Italy through travel and the global media. Although most Italian Americans moved out of “Little Italy” communities in the 1950s, Italian neighborhoods in many cities are still significant sites for the transmission and enactment of cultural traditions throughout the generations. Italians are often considered a primary example of an immigrant community that successfully left behind the poverty and the social stigma experienced by the early settlers (Alba 2000). In fact, as we will note below, the median income and educational attainment of Italian-Americans today are equal or superior to the national average, and their degree of adaptation to US society has been extraordinary. Nonetheless, Italian-Americans are still a very distinct community with their own traditions and moral values and a strong attachment to their culture.}, keywords = {Anna De Fina}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Pauwels2010b, title = {Socially motivated language reform in a global lingua franca: The case of gender reform in English}, author = {Anne Pauwels}, isbn = {9783631592335}, year = {2010}, date = {2010-01-01}, pages = {24-34}, publisher = {Lang}, abstract = {Pauwels, Anne (2010) 'Socially motivated language reform in a global lingua franca: The case of gender reform in English.'

This article uses a broader and more ecumenical framework to incorporate eastern Indonesia into this discussion by comparing the economic involvement of Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch missionaries and church personnel. It contextualizes differences in church resources, secular oversight, and motivation, but also argues that clerical involvement with European economic ambitions helped to mark out a path toward the domestication of local Christianity. The perception of foreign priests and ministers as conduits for exploitation encouraged many Southeast Asian Christians to differentiate between the teachings of the religion they had adopted and the ways these teachings had been distorted in support of European control.La recherche de l'Asie du Sud-Est pré-moderne touchant au rapprochement des relations de l'Église d'avec les intérêts commerciaux porte habituellement sur l'entreprise catholiques des Philippines espagnoles.

The key word in this process is judgment, i.e. what appropriate considerations need to be taken into account in order to be in line with the ethos or goals of the institution or country involved in the negotiations to obtain mutual agreement.

In particular, it examines the houses built or refurbished by Albanians in their home-country, which is no longer their place of permanent residence. This is a widespread phenomenon in Albania, but it is also a frequently appearing practice amongst other international migrants. Why do migrants living outside their home-countries build houses there even though they do not plan to return? I seek to answer this question in the case of Albania by focusing empirically on the process of constructing these houses, rather than merely on the material entity of the house as such. I propose that such 'house-making' by Albanian migrants is not only a simple house-building process; it also ensures a constant dwelling and dynamic 'proxy' presence for migrants in their community of origin. These ethnographic observations have further significance for the anthropological study of both houses and international migration. L'auteur examine la culture matérielle de la migration en attachant une attention particulière aux projets de construction de maison des migrants dans leur pays natal. Il examine en particulier les maisons construites ou rénovées par des Albanais dans leur pays natal, qui n'est plus leur lieu de résidence permanente. Ce phénomène, très répandu en Albanie, apparaît également souvent chez d'autres migrants dans le monde. Pourquoi des migrants vivant en dehors de leur pays construisent-ils des maisons dans celui-ci alors qu'ils n'ont pas l'intention d'y revenir ?

In this paper, I argue that the criticism against interview narratives has been justified by the lack of attention that many narrative analysts have shown towards the interview as a truly interactional context. However, I also point to some shortcomings that derive from this opposition between naturally occurring and interview narratives and to an alternative framework in which the stress is not on the kind of narrative data used for the analysis, but rather on the kind of narrative analysis that should be adopted. I argue that our methodologies of analysis cannot fail to take into account the way narratives shape and are shaped by the different contexts in which they are embedded and propose the study of narrative genres as a way of looking at the reciprocal influence of narratives and story-telling contexts.

A reanalysis of an exchange previously examined by Platt (1986) between a Samoan mother and her son is provided to show the benefits of an integration of phenomenological and interactional perspectives on adult-child discourse.

National identity appears to be firmly spatialized and seemingly immutable, becoming almost a "natural" marker of cultural and social difference. This article problematizes nationalism by juxtaposing it and other forms of spatial commitment and identity, particularly transnational ones. In so doing, it seeks to illuminate the specificity of nationalism in the postcolonial world. Beginning with the premise that the structures of feeling (R. Williams 1961:48-71) that produce a location called "the nation" are not identical in differently situated places, I wish to conceptualize the vastly dissimilar structural positions occupied by First and Third World' nationalisms by locating them with respect to late capitalism and to the postcolonial world order. Connecting such global phenomena with questions of place and identity is consonant with recent moves in anthropological theory that urge us to go beyond "the field" to see how transnationalism refracts and shapes "the local."2 The changing global configuration of postcoloniality and late capitalism have resulted in the repartitioning and reinscription of space. These developments have had profound implications for the imagining of national homelands and for the discursive construction of nationalism. To grasp the nature of these changes, we need to be bifocal in our analytical vision. On the one side, we need to investigate processes of place making, of how feelings of belonging to an imagined community bind identity to spatial location such that differences between communities and places are created. At the same time, we also need to situate these processes within systemic developments that reinscribe and reterritorialize space in the global political economy.

The primary aim of the research project (conducted between April 2004 and October 2006) was to provide up-to-date data and cogent analysis with regard to the use of the Irish language in the contemporary Gaeltacht. The Gaeltacht Commission Report 2002 highlighted the need to make linguistic data available to the State as part of the review process of the Gaeltacht status afforded to various communities in seven counties.}, keywords = {Collin Williams}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Perrin2009bb, title = {Public storytelling in convergent media.

Questions, both closed and open-ended, addressed academic/professional training, present role(s) and attitudes and beliefs about ‘the profession’ itself. Nearly 1000 respondents replied to the questionnaire worldwide. Particular questions focused on how translation should be taught, the role and status of the profession (ideally and in practice), and on personal satisfaction. The results show that university training has had little impact, and that this group of respondents have relatively little interest in the university itself in comparison with lifelong learning, with most emphasis placed on practice and self-development. Members of the group feel themselves to be ‘professional’ due to their specialized knowledge and abilities. However, their professionalism is mainly limited to their responsibilities to the text itself, and there is relatively little interest in the wider context. They are acutely aware of the lack of public recognition, and both the interpreters and the translators agree that translators in particular suffer from a markedly lower social status. However, only a minority of the respondents feel the need to change the status quo and satisfy trait theory criteria regarding professional recognition, possibly because the vast majority of respondents are more than satisfied with their job. In conclusion, it appears that translation can still only be categorized as an occupation rather than as a profession, and it is suggested that a new role be created with its own university course to cater to the professional language provider.}, keywords = {David Katan}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @conference{Connell2009, title = {Defaka and Ijo: A reassessment of the Ijoid relationship}, author = {Bruce Connell and Ebitare Obikudo and Akinbiyi Akinlabi and Ozo-Mekuri Ndimele and Will Bennett and Inoma Essien}, year = {2009}, date = {2009-08-01}, booktitle = {Documenting Defaka and Nkoroo}, keywords = {Bruce Connell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } @inbook{Chiaro2009bb, title = {Cultural divide or unifying factor?}, author = {Delia Carmela Chiaro}, doi = {10.1075/pbns.182.10chi}, year = {2009}, date = {2009-07-03}, pages = {211 - 232}, publisher = {Humor in Interaction}, abstract = {This essay sets out to explore a positive aspect of bilingual cross-cultural couples in long term relationships, namely the occurrence of what is considered a harmonious factor: humour.

Multiple causation is manifested in the Congruence Principle, according to which if a feature exists in more than one contributing language, it is more likely to persist in the emerging language. Consequently, the reality of linguistic genesis is far more complex than a simple family tree system allows. 'Revived' languages are unlikely to have a single parent.

It will become apparent that IP is not the same as standard (European) Portuguese (henceforth SP), the code employed and promoted by the former political administration. We are in fact dealing with a linguistic setting where a creole language (IP), its main lexifier (SP) and the area’s autochthonous language (Gujarati) have for a long time co-existed. While in truth Diu IP (henceforth referred to as DIP) retains for many Diuese the same attitudinal attraction or repulsion as that of SP, awareness of its divergence on the part of those skilled in IP adds a new layer of language interaction where the notion of prestige operates.

Thirty speakers of Northern and Southern Vietnamese performed an AX discrimination task using natural speech tokens of Northern (NVN) speech. NVN distinguishes six tones, three of which are produced with creaky voice, while Southern Vietnamese (SVN) distinguishes only five tones, none of which are canonically produced with creaky voice; however, both groups of listeners have shown some sensitivity to voice quality as well as F0 cues (Brunelle, 2008). While the results of hierarchical cluster analysis show both Northern and Southern listeners broadly group tones by F0 onset, multidimensional scaling shows the effects of dialect-specific perception: despite some familiarity with NVN speech, SVN listeners did not adjust their perceptual cue space when listening to NVN talkers. As a result, tones with similar F0 profiles but different voice qualities were more likely to be confused by SVN listeners. This is consistent with studies showing that perceptual processes are organized in a language-specific fashion, with the acoustic cue space weighted by phonological relevance to L1 perception (Werker and Tees, 1999; Strange, 2002).

This article offers a critical discussion of Gricean cooperation. It analyses examples of student–teacher dialogues which show that non-cooperation and non-accommodation may be employed as the preferred discourse strategy, and that the aim of communication may be to miscommunicate rather than to communicate successfully. It is suggested that ‘meaning’ in language only makes sense in the light of the social and psychological conditions under which language is produced, and that the notion of cooperation should be analyzed in terms of what people want to obtain by their communication. Communication accommodation theory and the notion of resistance are proposed as more appropriate explanatory frameworks to achieve this end.}, keywords = {Hans Ladegaard}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Ladegaard2009b, title = {Politeness, Power and Control: The Use of Humour in Cross-cultural Telecommunications}, author = {Hans Ladegaard}, doi = {10.5790/hongkong/9789622099654.003.0011}, isbn = {9789622099654}, year = {2009}, date = {2009-04-01}, urldate = {2009-04-01}, journal = {Professional communication: Collaboration between academics and practitioners}, pages = {191 - 209}, abstract = {Humour serves a variety of functions in discourse. The obvious function is sheer entertainment: people incorporate in their discourse humorous elements - such as jokes, or puns, riddles or funny stories -in order to amuse and entertain. Research on same-sex talk, for example, has found that young male speakers often use 'competitive humour' (current speaker has to outdo previous speaker in telling jokes or narratives which are perceived as funnier), the function of which is to entertain and compete for the upper hand in the group (see Holmes 2006; Ladegaard, forthcoming a). Another obvious function of humour is solidarity; humour is used in a group to maintain a feeling of solidarity among ingroup members and to mark the group off from possible outgroups. This is one of the reasons why humour is so context-bound. Humorous remarks, which are considered hilarious and lead to amusement and laughter in a group, may appear obscure - And not funny at all - To outsiders, because they play on social routines and cultural norms and conventions which are unique for a group. Linstead (1988) argues that the use of humour is complex and paradoxical and reflects many of the difficulties we experience in other areas of social life. It can be seen, for example, as 'a device utilised by individuals for coping with uncertainty, exploring ambiguous situations, releasing tension or distancing unpleasantness' (123). He further argues that, through the many functions it performs, and through the symbolic alignments it makes possible, humour is an intrinsic part of organizational life. In one of the early studies of the use of humour in the workplace, Turner (1973, 43) identified uses of the 'joking mode' in the industrial subcultures he studied as a way to 'test the atmosphere, to disarm accusations of failure or stupidity, and to deliver unpalatable or potentially unpalatable messages with a softened impact' (cited in Linstead 1988, 125). And in a more recent study of the use and functions of humour in the workplace Holmes (2000, 159-60) argues that humour can be an important management strategy. It can be used as 'a way of attenuating or reinforcing power relationships. Humour can be used to reduce inequalities between those of different professional status, alternatively it can be used to emphasize power imbalances, or even to license challenges to status hierarchies.' Research on the use and importance of humour in the workplace has been burgeoning in recent years, and there is ample evidence to show that humour in workplace settings is truly multifunctional. Much of the research demonstrates - from a sociological and/or psychological perspective - The general benefits of using humour in the workplace; it shows that humour, through a variety of functions, serves as a lubricant which makes work processes, intercollegial negotiations, and even production run more smoothly. Numerous studies have demonstrated that humour has a positive effect on maintaining a good relationship among colleagues, i.e. as a way of 'doing collegiality' (see, for example, Brown and Keegan 1999; Holmes 2000, 2006). Other studies have established a relationship between humour and increased productivity (see, for example, Caudron 1992). Humour has also been seen as an essential tool for effective leadership (see, for example, Cooper 2002; Holmes 2007). Other studies have shown that humour has an effect on job satisfaction (e.g. Decker 1987; Susa 2002), and it has been seen as an effective means of avoiding or resolving conflicts among employees (see, for example, Fry 1992; Dzodin 1998; Smith et al. 2000). It is remarkable, however - At least from a sociolinguistic perspective - That relatively little research on the use and functions of humour in the workplace is based on recordings of authentic interactions in professional contexts. Only recently have we seen researchers turn to recordings and systematic analyses of workplace interactions (see, for example, Holmes 2000, 2006, 2007; Vuorela 2005; Rogersen-Revell 2007), whereas an overwhelming amount of humourresearch is based on self-reported data such as questionnaires and interviews (e.g. Cooper 2002; Susa 2002; Miczo and Welter 2006 ), or analyses of simulated situations such as role-plays (e.g. Dzodin 1998; see also Fant 1992 for a discussion of the use of simulated situations for research purposes). However interesting these studies may be, they rely on employees' (or students') beliefs about humour, and how they think they and other people use it. Therefore, we need to direct more attention to analyses of humour in authentic, real-life situations and contexts, including cross-cultural contexts. This chapter offers an analysis of the use and functions of humour in crosscultural telecommunications. The data for the analysis consists of an audiorecording of a teleconference between employees in the headquarters of a global business corporation in Denmark and their colleagues in the company's subsidiary in the UK. The employees have a joint project, run by the company's HQ in Denmark, and the purpose of the telephone conference is to discuss the status and progress of the project, focusing on how the project findings can be implemented on the British market. Strategies in relation to sales, logistics, finance, and change management are being discussed during the meeting. Humour is used rather frequently, and the purpose of the analysis is to identify the various functions of humour in this cross-cultural context. First, the chapter provides a brief review of the literature, focusing on the use of humour in cross-cultural contexts. Second, we present and discuss some of the excerpts from the telephone conference where humour plays a significant role in the employees' negotiations. Finally, we discuss how humour can be used constructively in cross-cultural business communication. © 2009 by Hong Kong University Press, HKU.

The reason why variationism does not describe a social ‘reality’ has to do with its insistence that lexical variants have to be assignable to ‘fixed codes’ (‘dialects’, ‘sociolects’, ‘style lects’) and that two speakers using different codes will result in misunderstandings and communication breakdowns. The present contribution offers an alternative approach to synchronic name variation inspired by an integrationalsemiology, thus treating linguistic signs (in this case, toponyms) as context-sensitive and in need of instantaneous referencing. By not considering proper names as part of any fixed codes the integrational fieldworker is able to observe language use unbiased, prepared to accept that in principle any name may be used between any two speakers in any situation. The objects of study for this paper are the names of the three Medieval castles of Bellinzona (Italian-speaking Switzerland), which the present author already investigated in an orthodox sociolinguistic perspective in the 1990s.}, keywords = {Adrian Pablé}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{French2009b, title = {Technologies of Telling: Discourse, Transparency, and Erasure in Guatemalan Truth Commission Testimony}, author = {Brigittine French}, doi = {10.1080/14754830902717734}, year = {2009}, date = {2009-03-31}, journal = {Journal of Human Rights}, volume = {8}, number = {1}, pages = {92-109 }, abstract = {This paper offers a “critical epistemological reflection” on representations of survivor testimony in the Guatemalan truth commissions.

In this kind of “postconflict” context, the collection of survivor testimony is presumed to give new power to the victims and to create conditions for progressive social change in the aftermath of state-sponsored violence. However, my analysis problematizes these assumptions by elucidating multiple discursive forms, functions, and transformations in survivor testimony that are unrecognized in most truth commission reports.

Like other cities in low- and middle-income countries, Cape Town shows growing linguistic diversity due to high levels of rural–urban migration. Two aspects of the city's economy will be discussed on the basis of specialised survey data and anthropological fieldwork: (a) the labour market, and (b) informal entrepreneurial activities.

This paper discusses some aspects of the use of the telephone in social science research and reports on the use of the telephone in research on the use of mobile communications technology by media professionals to illustrate issues relevant to the development of telephone research methodology. It proposes further hybridisation of traditional telephone based research with new e- social science techniques as a means to gather reliable and useful data, especially for the recording and analysis of conversation and social interaction by telephone and oral communication more generally. Despite a long history of use in human communication the telephone is surprisingly absent from studies of communication and sociology. The relative absence of the telephone from social science research, in relation to its rate of use and diffusion in society, is a curious omission given the powerful impact that the communication affordances it provides have on many aspects of human interaction. Perhaps however, this is also related to the lesser value placed on all forms of oral communication as a subject for study in the social sciences. The few scholars with an interest in the social aspects of the telephone frequently assert that it has been comprehensively neglected as a subject of analysis, often along with conversational practices and orality. Contemporary research on mobile communications technology is now, somewhat belatedly, rapidly redressing this oversight, although much work remains to be done. In the seminal text The Social Impact of the Telephone Pool notes that "social scientists have neglected the telephone not only along with, but also relative to, other technologies" (1977, p. 2), and as late as 1991 Martin observed, "no serious sociological study has yet been done of the impact of the telephone on society and social life" (Martin 1991, p. 3). More recently, Katz and Aakhus continue to argue that "the miracle of telephone conversation is too readily forgotten by laypeople and scholars alike" (2002, p. 1), while Hutchby asserts that the telephone is "so established as to be all.}, keywords = {Collette Snowden}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Williams2009bb, title = {Let Freedom Reign: The Impress of EU Integration on Minority Survival}, author = {Collin Williams}, doi = {10.1057/9780230104167_11}, isbn = { 978-1-349-38197-5}, year = {2009}, date = {2009-01-01}, pages = {185-203}, publisher = {Palgrave Macmillan, New York}, abstract = {The fate of smaller nations within Europe has been a history of subordi- nation, conquest, and periodic resurgence as the international political and economic system opens and closes in terms of minority recogni- tion.

In the adult grammar, there are two entries of FINISH which we assume head their own syntactic positions: VP and AspP, the latter of which marks the perfective aspect in the language. In the child data, FINISH first emerged as a lexical verb. Subsequently, and in parallel to a verb, the sign also occurred as a perfective marker and consistently followed a verb in clause final position, in line with the adult data. There is also a systematic distribution of the sign according to situation types. FINISH as a main verb was inherently telic and marked the end of an atelic predicate (i.e. an activity). As an aspect marker, it occurred initially in accomplishments before other situation types. As for temporal reference, FINISH as a main verb was mostly for present reference but initially for past or future reference if it served as an aspect marker. These findings show that the acquisition of perfective aspect in HKSL largely conforms to the grammatical constraints as observed in the spoken language literature; however, some minor differences are observed.}, keywords = {Gladys Tang}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Haberland2009, title = {English-The Language of Globalism}, author = {Hartmut Haberland}, year = {2009}, date = {2009-01-01}, urldate = {2009-01-01}, journal = {Healthy.

This early jar-gon is probably based on a pidgin that developed in Australia between the British settlers in New South Wales and the aboriginal population at the end of the 18th century (Troy 1985; Baker 1993). It further expanded and stabilized during the plantation period of the second part of the 19th century that linked the Melanesian archipelagos of Vanuatu and the Solomons to Australia. The labour trade to Queensland lasted for roughly 40 years, from 1863 to 1906. At the beginning of the trade period, the Australian planters started to recruit in New Caledonia, the New Hebrides, the Melanesian archipelago closest to Australia; when recruiting in the southern islands became diffi cult, they moved north towards the Banks Islands, the Santa Cruz archipelago and later, around 1874, toward the Solomon Islands. Around 13,000 Solomon Islanders were taken to Queensland during the forty-year period. The pidgin language (called Kanaka Pidgin English) that was used on the plantations became the lingua franca spoken among Melanesian workers (the Kanakas, as they were called) who did not share the same language, and between Melanesians and European overseers. When Solomon Islanders went back to the Solomons at the end of their contract, or when they were forcefully repatriated at the end of the labour trade period (1904), they brought Melanesian pidgin to the Solomon Islands. The result was that the pidgin became quite spread-out throughout the east-ern part of the archipelago, but, not having a social raison d’être, it remained largely unused, except for affect. Back in the 1980s, old people could still remember the stories that were told by the old former Queensland hands many years after their return.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Christine Jourdan}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @book{Ghosh2008, title = {Literary Translation and Bengali}, author = {Aditi Ghosh}, year = {2008}, date = {2008-12-01}, publisher = {The Asiatic Society}, abstract = {Translation studies has been a discipline of much fascination since time immemorial.

Two dimensions of typological diversity are brought out: (i) concerning lexical tone systems, it is suggested that the analysis of contour tones into sequences of levels, which has clearly demonstrated its validity for numerous languages, does not actually apply to all; (ii) concerning intonation systems, it is suggested that languages differ in whether – and to what extent – they have ‘intonational tones', i.e. tones of intonational origin that are structurally similar to lexical tones. ‘Intonational tones' strictly speaking appear to be relatively rare. A hypothesis is set out concerning the relationship between the nature of the lexical tone system of a language and that of its intonation system: it is suggested that the encoding of intonational phenomena in terms of tones tends to thrive in languages that have a lexical system of level tones – by a process of tonal reinterpretation of intonation –whereas languages that have non-decomposable contour tones tend not to have tonal intonation.}, keywords = {Alexis Michaud}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{nokey, title = {Extreme Poverty and Existential Obligations: Beyond Morality in the Anthropoogy of Africa}, author = {Harri Englund}, doi = {10.3167/sa.2008.520302}, year = {2008}, date = {2008-12-01}, urldate = {2008-12-01}, journal = {Social Analysis}, volume = {52}, number = {3}, pages = {33-50}, abstract = {The suggestion that the anthropological study of morality is theoretically undeveloped carries with it the risk of caricaturing ideas of moral obligation in mid-twentieth-century social anthropology.

The essay will also reflect upon the contradiction of present day food culture in the UK and especially the tension between the idea of the ‘healthy eating’ of others portrayed in the media, and the ‘junk eating’ reality of the UK.}, keywords = {Delia Carmela Chiaro}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Wong2008b, title = {On the actuation of semantic change: The case of tongzhi}, author = {Andrew Wong}, year = {2008}, date = {2008-07-31}, journal = {Language Sciences}, volume = {30}, number = {4}, pages = {423-449}, abstract = {This article addresses a lacuna in research on the actuation of semantic change by shedding new light on speakers’ motivation.

The analysis centers on a number of topically linked narratives to argue that these texts have a variety of functions linked to the roles and relationships negotiated by individuals within the club and to the construction of a collective identity for the community. However, the narrative activities that occur within the club also articulate aspects of the wider social context. It is, argued that, in the case analyzed here, local meaning-making activities connect with macro social processes through the negotiation, within the constraints of local practices, of the position and roles of the ethnic group in the wider social space.

Although India has fifteen official languages, hundreds of others can be found across South Asia (which includes Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and the Maldives). Scholars working with China’s numerous ethnic minorities likewise caution against implicit assumptions that “culture” somehow equates with modern political boundaries.

Yet despite these ambiguities, the relatively egalitarian nature of male–female relations in Southeast Asia is central to arguments claiming a coherent identity for the region. This challenging work by senior scholar Barbara Watson Andaya considers such contradictions while offering a thought-provoking view of Southeast Asian history that focuses on women’s roles and perceptions. Andaya explores the broad themes of the early modern era (1500–1800)―the introduction of new religions, major economic shifts, changing patterns of state control, the impact of elite lifestyles and behaviors―drawing on an extraordinary range of sources and citing numerous examples from Thai, Vietnamese, Burmese, Philippine, and Malay societies. In the process, she provides a timely and innovative model for putting women back into world history Andaya approaches the problematic issue of "Southeast Asia" by considering ways in which topography helped describe a geo-cultural zone and contributed to regional distinctiveness in gender construction. She examines the degree to which world religions have been instrumental in (re)constructing conceptions of gender― an issue especially pertinent to Southeast Asian societies because of the leading role so often played by women in indigenous ritual. She also considers the effects of the expansion of long-distance trade, the incorporation of the region into a global trading network, the beginnings of cash-cropping and wage labor, and the increase in slavery on the position of women.

The starting point of this discussion is the observation that members of a number of Pacific societies have been said to claim—or to imply through their behavior—that it is impossible to know what goes on in another person's mind. This claim, called the "doctrine of the opacity of other minds" by the editors (hereafter "opacity doctrine"), is often extended to the self, as when native consultants refuse to provide motivations for their own actions or resist any kind of intentional reading of what they have just done. In treating this type of attitude as a puzzle that needs our empirical and theoretical attention, the authors in this collection, like those of us who were dealing with it some twenty plus years ago, are making a set of analytical choices based on assumptions that should be re-examined. In the following comments I review some potential problems that emerge in the arguments presented in this collection and also suggest some ways of integrating philosophical and anthropological perspectives that could help develop more precise research tools and hypotheses about the opacity doctrine. A careful reading of the articles in this collection shows that the opacity doctrine has been dealt with on two main levels, observational and explanatory, each of which relies on a different order of generalizations and implies different kinds of analytical categories and types of argumentation. The first level—which we might call "observational"—draws from fieldwork situations in which ethnographers try to get their consultants, field assistants, hosts, and friends to tell them about other members' actions, motivations, explanations, and emotions. These attempts, as we know from the ethnographic literature, which include the articles in this collection, are sometimes met with surprise, suspicion, or flat rejection, as in "How would I know?" or "Why should I know?" Such responses are subsequently interpreted as consistent with a particular "local" theory of interpretation, to be distinguished from the ethnographer's. This move transforms the earlier "observational" level into a first stage "explanatory" level. With the confidence that comes with labeling, ethnographers could begin to search for more evidence to support their hypothesis about the local theory. At this point ethnographers also face the question of whether they themselves are creating the problem, and the theory, by asking certain kinds of questions (Briggs 1984). Could it be that a different way of asking about introspection would bring about a different kind of answer? This line of inquiry, as far as I know, has never been fully developed, even though the next step could be seen in part as a way of addressing this issue. Armed with the hypothesis that the natives have a way of thinking about what we can know about others that is different from what is usually assumed in western theories of meaning, ethnographers are able to search for naturally occurring situations in which the same reluctance to read other minds might manifest itself spontaneously, that is, without any outsider's prompting. One important source of evidence for this line of investigation is provided by language socialization studies, as shown by Bambi Schiefflin in this volume and elsewhere (Schieffelin 1990:72–3). The fact that Bosavi adults do not try to guess what an infant is trying to say—Bosavi, like Samoans (Ochs 1982), do not "expand" children's elliptical utterances—shows that the opacity doctrine works across a number of activities and contexts. Another opportunity to look for further evidence of the local theory is presented through inter-cultural contact situations and the introduction of new activities that typically accompany contact. For example, it makes sense to hypothesize that the opacity doctrine would inhibit or in some way affect participation in introduced Christian practices such as confession, which relies on the assumption of the existence of an inner self that is accessible to introspection (Cary 2000).}, keywords = {Alessandro Duranti}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Brookes2008b, title = {Preventing Mother-to-Child HIV Transmission Among South African Adolescents}, author = {Heather Brookes and Christine Varga}, doi = {10.1177/0743558407310771}, year = {2008}, date = {2008-03-01}, urldate = {2008-03-01}, journal = {Journal of Adolescent Research}, volume = {23}, number = {2}, pages = {172-205}, abstract = {Although prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) programs are predicated on maternal behavior change, little is known about sociocultural factors affecting maternal—child care practices in this arena.

It can be regarded as a 'missing link' in tonogenesis: following the loss of voicing contrasts on syllable-initial consonants, Tamang has four tonal categories instead of its earlier two-tone system; the present state of the prosodic system is typologically transitional, in that these four tonal categories are realised by several cues which include fundamental frequency (F(0)), phonation type, and allophonic variation in the realisation of consonants. Acoustic and electroglottographic recordings of 131 words in two carrier sentences by 5 speakers were conducted (total number of target syllables analysed: n = 1,651).

It is shown that Jalonke has intransitive, transitive, causative/inchoative alternating and reflexive-only verbs, and that the motivation for three of these classes lies in an interaction of the parameters of causation type, likelihood of the denoted event to be construed as uncaused vs. externally caused and the inclination of the language towards fundamental transitivity vs. fundamental intransitivity. The fourth class of reflexive-only verbs is determined through a positive specification for control. The main result of a quantitative study on argument realization in discourse are discussed in order to demonstrate that in contrast to other languages and approaches, argument structure in Jalonke can be taken to be lexically specified.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Friederike Lüpke}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Benjamin2008, title = {An Interview with Geoffrey Benjamin}, author = {Geoffrey Benjamin and Christian Wawrinec}, year = {2008}, date = {2008-01-01}, journal = {ASEAS, Austrian journal of South-East Asian studies (Österreichische Zeitschrift für Südostasienwissenschaften)}, volume = {1}, pages = {187–193}, keywords = {Geoffrey Benjamin}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Zuckermann2008, title = {Af ekhad lo medaber ivrit (No one speaks Hebrew)}, author = {Ghil‘ad Zuckermann}, year = {2008}, date = {2008-01-01}, journal = {NRG Maariv-Tarbut-Sifrut}, volume = {12}, pages = {1-5}, keywords = {Ghil‘ad Zuckermann}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Zuckermann2008bb, title = {"Realistic prescriptivism": The Academy of the Hebrew Language, its campaign of "good grammar" and lexpionage, and the native Israeli speakers}, author = {Ghil‘ad Zuckermann}, year = {2008}, date = {2008-01-01}, journal = {Israel Studies in Language and Society}, volume = {1}, pages = {150-165}, abstract = {This chapter explores the futile lexpionage (lexical+ espionage) of the Academy of the Hebrew Language.

The focus of our questionnaire study was twofold: to analyse possible gender differences in perceptions and reported use, and to compare results from P-speaking newcomers, who have moved to Guangzhou from other parts of China, with responses from local C-speaking adolescents. Our results suggest that Guangzhou is a reasonably stable diglossia where P and C serve different functions, for newcomers as well as locals, and therefore both varieties appear to be indispensable. However, there are also indications that P promotion is beginning to have an effect in Guangzhou; our female participants seem to be leading on in a gradual change towards increased use of P.

The responses of native speakers differed with respect to semantic density (English>French) and to the systematic (English) vs. variable (French) devices used. As for learners, their utterance density increased with proficiency level as they acquired complex structures. Source/target language properties influenced this process, as shown by their increasing attempt to produce target-like structures that nonetheless remained source-like at both proficiency levels. These typological constraints suggest that learners do not construct an entirely independent linguistic system during second language acquisition and that L2 mastery may require some reconceptualization of spatial information.

Language shift, attrition, endangerment and death are all consequences of these adaptations.

It is further argued that nationalism, its handmaiden, is increasingly anachronistic and has lost much of its salience within an international political and legal order which is responsive to the post-sovereign realities of multinational organisations, transnational agencies and global communication.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Collin Williams}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Williams2008bb, title = {The Democratic Impulse and Social Justice}, author = {Collin Williams}, doi = {10.1057/9780230597570_3}, isbn = {978-1-349-54131-7}, year = {2008}, date = {2008-01-01}, pages = {47-73}, publisher = {Palgrave Macmillan, London}, abstract = {An inherent ambiguity lies at the heart of the debate on the social and cultural future of Europe. Both individuals and a multitude of ethnocultural groups increasingly interact within decentralised and diverse frameworks, while the political system which guarantees such autonomy is becoming evermore centralised within the supra-national structures of an expanding EU and its associated organisations. The traditional method of reducing ethnocultural diversity by closing or redrawing borders no longer applies, as the geography of bounded space gives way – at least in theory – to a geography of communication flows, and a new strategy for mutual coexistence demands the deterritorialisation of identity. The sad truth for many in Europe today, however, is that the direction and speed of this transition is precisely the point at issue. Although the most satisfactory method of ensuring cultural autonomy is to allow individuals to determine group membership for themselves, this dilutes the geographical concentration of ethnic groups and renders many of them vulnerable within a multicultural framework: ambiguity, tension and conflict are the inevitable consequences (Lijphart, 1995).}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Collin Williams}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Williams2008bb, title = {Enhancing Linguistic Diversity in Europe: Cross-Cutting Themes}, author = {Collin Williams}, doi = {10.1057/9780230597570_5}, isbn = {978-1-349-54131-7}, year = {2008}, date = {2008-01-01}, pages = {120-161}, publisher = {Palgrave Macmillan, London}, abstract = {Elements within European society have embarked on a mission to create a common structure out of an uncommon mélange of languages.

A nested hierarchy of general and specific rights are now operational within the international order, the sovereign state and those sub-state agencies charged with the delivery of language-related services. In consequence rights and obligations will increasingly be protected and upheld by overlapping jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions, such as the EU, this will require increased shared sovereignty while in others, such as many of the emerging states, it will require the strengthening of state sovereignty as the guarantor against tyranny, civil war and anarchy. In either case specifying under what conditions minority rights are to be recognised and then implemented requires a toleration of diverse means of managing majority–minority relations, even within the same state jurisdiction.

This chapter explores the role of language policy and planning as instruments of social development and examines selected dilemmas faced by multilingual states as they seek to formalise language choice through a variety of implicit and explicit language-related reforms. It is my conviction that language planning can only be properly understood when seen as a form of socio-political intervention. Many take the view that language planning, as a discipline, has developed a certain objective detachment that allows it to be treated as if it were a form of scientific exercise. I accept that in certain aspects, such as corpus planning, translation and software development, such objectivity and precision is reached. However, language planning is in essence an extension of social policy aimed at behaviour modification. Given this it is essential that the broader social and political context, within which language planning is exercised, is fully acknowledged.

A media presence means a threefold burden: Firstly, you appear in the media on behalf of an organization, a section of the public, a subject. The expectations of role broadcasters - such as employers, specialist colleagues and parts of the public - can diverge. So role conflicts are inevitable. Second, the cooperation with the media is characterized by the industrial production routines of a media company, which are reflected, for example, in forms of conversation typical of domains and which therefore require specific conversation skills. It is always urgent. And thirdly, via the microphone and camera, one exposes oneself indirectly to a diffuse, dispersed public, which is only given an excerpt from the appearance in the media report, can hardly ask questions and yet gets an idea in a few seconds.

The languages of this region remain under-documented for a number of historical reasons. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the widespread cultural practice of head-hunting discouraged outsiders from entering the Naga Hills. Shortly after Indian independence in 1947, an armed rebellion by Naga separatists and a government policy of restricting access to the troubled area ensured that Nagaland remained a difficult place to conduct research. In this context, A Grammar of Mongsen Ao offers valuable new insights into the structure of a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in a linguistically little-known region of the world. The grammatical analysis documents all the functional domains of the language and includes four glossed and translated texts, the latter being of interest to anthropologists studying folklore. Mongsen Ao is a highly agglutinating, mostly suffixing language with predominantly dependent-marking characteristics. Its grammar demonstrates a number of typologically interesting features that are described in detail in the book. Among these is an unusual case marking system in which grammatical marking is motivated by semantic and pragmatic factors, and a rich verbal morphology that produces elaborate sequences of agglutinative suffixes. Grammaticalisation processes are also discussed where relevant, thereby extending the appeal of the book to linguists with interests in grammaticalisation theory. This book will be of value to any linguist seeking to clarify genetic relationships within the Tibeto-Burman family, and it will serve more broadly as a reference grammar for typologists interested in the typological features of a Tibeto-Burman language of north-east India.}, keywords = {Alexander Robertson Coupe}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {book} } @article{Wong2007b, title = {Fostering the growth of budding community initiatives: The role of linguists in Tokelauan maintenance in Hawai’i}, author = {Andrew Wong and Yuko Otsuka}, year = {2007}, date = {2007-12-17}, journal = {Language Documentation & Conservation}, volume = {1}, number = {2}, pages = {240-256}, abstract = {This paper discusses our involvement in the language revitalization project initiated by the Tokelauan community in Central O ‘ahu, Hawai ‘i.

A framework for such a comparative analysis focusing on a series of generic interactional issues or problems (e.g., how turns are to be distributed among participants) and the way they are solved through the mobilization of local resources (grammar, social categories, etc.) is sketched. Comparative studies in conversation analysis encourage us to think of interaction in terms of generic organizations of interaction, which are inflected or torqued by the local circumstances within which they operate (Schegloff 2006).}, keywords = {Jack Sidnell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Michaud2007, title = {Reassociated tones and coalescent syllables in Naxi (Tibeto-Burman)}, author = {Alexis Michaud and Xueguang He}, doi = {10.1017/S002510030700309X}, year = {2007}, date = {2007-12-01}, journal = {Journal of the International Phonetic Association}, volume = {37}, number = {3}, pages = {237 - 255}, abstract = {The Western dialect of Naxi has four lexical tones: High, Mid, Low and Rising; the latter is rare in the lexicon.

Zhuang, a Tai-Kadai language spoken mainly in the rural areas of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of southwestern China, is the largest minority language in mainland China, with mother-tongue speakers numbering about 20 million. While this language is not in danger of dying out in the foreseeable future, it is indeed an endangered language, given that a phenomenon of language shift, as described in Bodomo (2007), is occurring in which more and more Zhuang children, especially those born in the cities, are picking up Putonghua, rather than Zhuang, as their mother tongue or most proficient language. In addition, even though language education policy exists for encouraging Zhuang and the minority language speakers to obtain literacy in their own languages, as Bodomo and Tai (2003) have shown, fewer and fewer Zhuang people are learning how to write their own language, and indeed the official Zhuang script is hardly used in the daily writing practices of Zhuang people. Given such a situation of language shift and lack of literacy practices that is consequently leading to language endangerment, which, in turn, may lead to language death, efforts must be made to document and revitalize the language. Our approach to language documentation in this paper and elsewhere is one of documentation for revitalization as opposed to documentation for mere preservation. This approach to language documentation is an action- and a community-oriented approach (Himmelmann 1998) in which we involve members of the community such as farmers, housewives, school children, etc in data collection but also in language revitalization.

It demonstrates how similar rhetorical and linguistic tools are manipulated by people in a position to influence society, as they attempt to depict their individual representations of reality as true and objective. Analysis of the data reveals how both individuals make use of almost identical rhetorical tools in order to objectify two completely subjective and contrasting conceptualizations of reality, whereby each plays the role of ‘self’ and ‘other’. This makes apparent the discourse of illusion which highlights the existence of contested versions of social reality. There is evidence within the data of a conflict between the two versions of reality, originating from their particular subjective and ideological conceptual systems, which generate social categories that depict the ‘self’ as being constituted by all positive values, and the ‘other’ as comprising all negative values. The use of religious metaphors in particular serves the purpose of categorizing the ‘other’ as morally devoid, and the ‘self’ as being in a position to pass moral judgement. Religious metaphors exploiting constructs such as evil, light and darkness, heaven and hell, barbarism, and moral justice also serve to legitimize the actions of both George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden, interpreting sociopolitical issues as religious events.

This article suggests that a concept of trust is more appropriate for the study of the religious orientation among Pentecostal Christians in Chinsapo, an impoverished township in Malawi’s capital city. Trust is a critical issue because even fellow members of Pentecostal congregations can turn out to have been sent by the Devil. Pastors also have to exercise considerable forbearance in order to encourage spiritual growth among backsliders. The boundaries of Pentecostal congregations are often permeable, with little emphasis on doctrinal differences. Pentecostal Christians also have frequent contact with kin, neighbours, customers and co-workers who do not share their religious orientation. Rather than being a matter of calculating risks, trust emerges in relation to the existential dangers of misfortune, hunger and disease that affect the lives of all township dwellers. Everyday contexts of township life are as important as proselytizing in generating trust between Pentecostals and those who are yet to experience the second birth in the Holy Spirit. In contrast to views that lament Africans’ particularized trust relations as an obstacle to democracy, this article suggests that generalized trust can emerge from a particular religious orientation.

Both forms of loneliness are at times exacerbated by their experiences in institutional sites. The article discusses the coping mechanisms that students use. It identifies a third kind of loneliness experienced by international students, cultural loneliness, triggered by the absence of the preferred cultural and/or linguistic environment. This can affect even students with adequate personal and social support. Thus, same-culture networks are often crucial for international students. Yet same-culture networks are not a universal panacea: They cannot substitute for adequate pastoral care by universities or ensure satisfactory engagement with local cultures, so some causes of cultural loneliness often remain.

With an event of causation, it is generally assumed that it entails two sub-events—cause and result, and each is expressed by an independent predicate. Adopting the conceptual framework of motion event structure in Talmy (2000), we examine how the meaning components of event are mapped onto the grammar of signed language; in particular, we examine the grammatical processes involved in incorporating Manner and Cause1 into the classifier predicates of Hong Kong Sign Language (HKSL). We observe that the mapping may involve a process of lexicalization where the semantic components of a motion event are realized by different phonological parameters of HKSL; namely, palm orientation is being selected for encoding manner of spatial configuration, handshape for agentivity, movement shape for manner of motion along a path and manner of causation. Lexicalization aside, we also observe other grammatical processes at the morpho-syntactic level. Incorporating manner of locomotion or manner of causation into the linguistic system will yield a class of imit-signs which, when occurring in a sign sentence, will normally precede a classifier predicate. We propose to analyze this sequence as a morphological V-V compound in HKSL. Incorporating Cause into the verb root whose semantics is devoid of change of state may result in the occurrence of a second, obligatory classifier predicate that is resultative in nature; this sequence of having two classifier predicates is amenable to complex predicates as discussed in the general linguistics literature.}, keywords = {Gladys Tang}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Ladegaard2007, title = {Global Culture—Myth or Reality?

A language may be said to have a noun class system if its nouns can be categorized according to a system of affixal markings on the nouns. A major issue is how to evolve a coherent set of criteria for establishing a convincingly consistent noun class system within individual languages and language groups. A leading approach is the use of mainly semantic criteria (e.g. Mohamadou 1994; Delplanque 1995). This paper proposes an alternative approach to the noun class system of Dagaare (Gur, Niger Congo) and Akan (Kwa, Niger Congo) based more on an interaction between morphology and phonology than on semantics (Bodomo 1994 & 1997). Dagaare and Akan are languages that exhibit mainly suffixal and prefixal nominal inflection respectively. The basic claim is that, by relying on number affixes, Dagaare and Akan nouns can be put into broad classes. This broad classification can be fine-tuned and categorized into sub-classes based on phonological processes such as vowel harmony and assimilation. While semantic and other non-morphophonological factors may be attested in noun class systems, it is argued that a comprehensive noun classification in both languages with these systems could hardly be evolved without recourse to morphophonology.}, keywords = {Adams Bodomo}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Bodomo2007e, title = {Documenting Spoken and Sung Texts of the Dagaaba of West Africa}, author = {Adams Bodomo and Manolete Mora}, doi = {10.18061/1811/28815}, issn = {1559-5749}, year = {2007}, date = {2007-07-01}, journal = {Empirical Musicology Review}, volume = {2}, number = {3}, pages = {81-102}, abstract = {This article discusses a documentation of spoken texts, sung texts, and dances of the Dagaaba, a mainly oral West African cultural group based on actual interdisciplinary linguistic and musicological field research within the group.

Recent SLA theories have attempted to account for native speaker/non-native speaker (NS/NNS) divergence by arguing for the dissociation between syntactic knowledge and morpho(pho)nology. In particular, Lardiere (1998), Prévost and White (2000), and Goad and White (2004) claim that highly proficient learners have knowledge of the abstract syntactic properties of the language but occasionally fail to associate them with the correct morphological or phonological forms. On the other hand, theories that support partial availability of Universal Grammar (UG) (Tsimpli and Roussou 1991; Hawkins and Chan, 1997) argue for a problem in the syntax: while UG principles and operations are available in SLA, the formal features of the target language that are not instantiated in the L1 or have a different setting, cause learnability problems. This article discusses acquisitional data in the light of the Interpretability Hypothesis (Tsimpli and Mastropavlou, 2007), which is a reformulation of the SLA theory suggested by Tsimpli and Roussou (1991) in minimalist terms. It is argued that a minimalist approach to SLA can be implemented to specify the status of the features that are least accessible to re-setting in the SLA process, given (1) constraints on their learnability and (2), their setting in the L1 grammar. The phenomenon discussed concerns the use of the resumptive strategy in wh- subject and object extraction by intermediate and advanced Greek learners of English. It is proposed that the acceptability rate of pronouns in the extraction site is conditioned by the Logical Form (LF) interpretability of the features involved in the derivation. Hence, the interpretable features of animacy and discourse-linking are hypothesized to be involved in the analysis of English pronouns by Greek L2 learners, while the first language (L1) specification of resumptive pronouns as clusters of uninterpretable Case and Agreement features resists resetting. }, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Essegbey2007b, title = {Gbe and other West African sources of Suriname creole semantic structuresP: Implications for creole genesis}, author = {James Essegbey and George L.

By contrast, break verbs co-lexicalize either the type of object or the type of change. It has been hypothesized that "cut"-verbs are unergative while breaks verbs are unaccusatives. For example "break" verbs participate in the causative inchoative alternation constructions but "cut" verbs don't.

In general, it is easier to teach graduate students because they are already committed to the field and are eager to learn from us. With undergraduate students it's different. They may have no background in our discipline and no commitment to become experts of it. Things get even more challenging when one teaches a large undergraduate course that fulfills a general education requirement. In this case, one may have pre-coeds and other science majors who are not used to reading the kinds of texts that are common in socio-cultural and linguistic anthropology. In my case, when I teach my lower division course on linguistic anthropology two additional complications are produced by my choice of textbooks and my teaching style. I use a reader in linguistic anthropology and a couple of monographs that provide examples of in-depth ethnographic studies with an emphasis on communication (from face-to-face conversation to music performance). This means that I don't use a textbook that lays down a map of the field of study or provides easily memorized definitions. Students have to master material that was not originally written for them. This makes it difficult for them to know what they are supposed to pay attention to or remember out of an article or even a paragraph. The second complication is my teaching style. I like to keep the structure of my lectures open enough to allow me to step out of the plan of the day, to venture into a topic that was not in the syllabus, or into collective problem solving, for example on the ways in which jazz musicians organize the sequence of their solos in a particular recording (I used to start my first lecture by playing Charlie Parker's "Blues For Alice" and ask the students to "take some notes" — no pun intended). These activities are often perceived as "digressions" or "confusing" and result in the perception by a good number of students that I am not very organized or that I tend to "go off on tangents." Since from my own point of view, I am incredibly organized (check my web site!), it took me years to figure out (i) how to make sense of the students' reactions and (ii) what to do about them. Once I stopped being defensive and listened more carefully to what the students were saying, I realized that they actually liked the content of the course and me as a teacher but were just anxious the whole time. The course and I seemed not only "different," but too unpredictable. It was then that I had the idea of a "magic lecture" to conclude the course. }, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Bodomo2007g, title = {Instructional Interactivity in a Web-Based Learning Community}, author = {Adams Bodomo}, doi = {10.4018/978-1-59904-525-2.ch007}, isbn = {9781599045276}, year = {2007}, date = {2007-01-01}, journal = {Web-Based Education and Pedagogical Technologies: Solutions for Learning Applications}, pages = {121-136}, abstract = {It is demonstrated in this chapter that enhanced interactivity is the single most important reason why teachers should practice Web-based teaching and why students should be encouraged to construct Web-based learning communities.

Ohara (1992; 2001), Loveday (1986) and others have investigated women’s use of high F0 and its social meanings.

Frequently known as the second generation, they are seen to link the past and the future in numerous ways: as carriers of cultural histories and knowledge directly passed ‘down’ from the first generation, as bodies of integration into, or social cohesion of, the new society. The pivotal nature of the link is demonstrated in the ways in which the second generation are seen as threats or challenges to language maintenance as well as potential transformers for bi/multilingualism and linguistic diversity. Furthermore, the second generation are part of the broader sociocultural and historical landscape, attracting meanings about separation, distinction and difference. Reconsidering the spaces, or locales, occupied by the second-generation migrant/first-generation local (referred to as local second generation in our discussion) has been linked to ‘third spaces’ (Brah, 1996) or hybridity (Hall, 1992) for diasporic populations.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Anne Pauwels}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @inbook{Pauwels2007bb, title = {Managing and maintaining minority languages in the era of globalization: Challenges for Europe and Australia}, author = {Anne Pauwels}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1057/9780230206397_1}, isbn = {978-1-349-28549-5}, year = {2007}, date = {2007-01-01}, pages = {1-9}, publisher = {Palgrave Macmillan, London}, abstract = {Whilst economic forces have been the primary drivers of globalization, socio-political changes as well as technical developments have contributed to shaping and speeding up the process.

The rapid expansion and increasing sophistication of communication technologies and means of transportation further assisted the process of globalization by facilitating virtual and actual transnational movement. With the mass production of communication software, a much greater number of people can communicate cheaper, more often, faster and in more diverse ways with people around the globe. These developments are likely to impact also on the ways in which transnational movers, that is migrants, refugees and other sojourners, keep in touch with their home or former communities. Similarly long-distance travel has become within reach of many more people on a more frequent basis. This has impacted on migration and settlement patterns. For example, there is greater evidence of transnational movement and mobility by ‘migrating’ people who perhaps 20 years ago would have settled in a new environment with limited travel to and from their previous country.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Anne Pauwels}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Pauwels2007bb, title = {Missing me and Msing the other: Courtesy titles for women in Englishes}, author = {Anne Pauwels}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.2104/aral0708}, year = {2007}, date = {2007-01-01}, journal = {Australian Review of Applied Linguistics}, volume = {30}, number = {1}, pages = {8.1-8.17}, abstract = {The introduction and spread of Ms as the courtesy address title for women is a cornerstone of feminist linguistic planning for English. Its introduction aimed to eradicate the discriminatory inequity in the address system that exposed women through their (non)marital relationship with men. The understanding, use and impact of the courtesy title are fairly well documented, particularly for Englishes of Australia (e.g. Pauwels 1987; 1998; 2001; 2003), US and Britain (Romaine 2001) and New Zealand (Holmes 2001). We have little knowledge of the form’s spread, impact and use by speakers for whom English is not the dominant language but forms part of their linguistic repertoire. Graddol (1997) argues that English-speaking bilinguals will outnumber first language speakers and, ‘increasingly will decide the global future of the language’ (p.10). Such contexts of English – second / third / foreign – usage loosely align with locales Kachru (1997) identified as ‘expanding circles’, and to some extent, many of the ‘outer circle’ Englishes, e.g. Hong Kong. In this paper we take up a new direction in feminist language planning: the exploration of courtesy title use and practices by English-speaking mono-/bi-/multilingual women around the world. We draw upon online survey data (available from http://www.teagirl.arts.uwa.edu.au/) to probe respondents’ strategies for addressing unknown women, as well as women’s use of courtesy titles for themselves. Our mapping of practices associated with Ms reveals an unexpected pattern of diffusion with implications for evaluating planned social language change. In relation to Ms, the implementation of feminist linguistic policy does not cohere with a pattern of spread from inner to outer to expanding ‘circles’ of English or from ‘first language speaker’ to … ‘foreign language speaker’ diffusion. The locale and personal contexts associated with education, awareness and personal commitment to gender equity interact in complicating, and surprising ways. Indeed our research exposes a new directionality for Ms as a preferred form for unknown women, without necessarily implicating its use in self-naming for many bilingual women resident in ‘outer circle’ locales.}, keywords = {Anne Pauwels}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Pauwels2007bb, title = {Strengthening languages in Australian higher education through collaborative arrangement}, author = {Anne Pauwels}, year = {2007}, date = {2007-01-01}, journal = {Collaborating to Offer Small Courses/Subjects Forum}, pages = {17}, abstract = {The teaching of foreign languages (more recently labelled as Languages other than English or community languages) has been a feature of Australian university education since its inception in the mid 19th Century.

Each of these transformations posed tremendous challenges for all those involved in the university languages scene, leading not infrequently to instability in this sector of university education.

There is a vast literature about different kinds of language alternation. One strain of research has focused on language choices appropriate to a given situation. One of the points made about these language choices is that in stable multilingual communities, competent speakers usually agree which language is appropriate in a given situation. They make their choices spontaneously and without much or any negotiation. Language shift happens between speech situations and at the beginning of an encounter, and for the individual speaker, it often follows long stretches of silence.

The theory is based on the following premises:(a) a Minimalist distinction between interpretable and uninterpretable features as these are read off by each of the two interfaces, LF (Logical Form) and PF (Phonetic Form);(b) developmental differences based on the accessibility of uninterpretable features in a comparison between L1 and L2 learners as well as between normal and SLI children, and (c) compensatory strategies implemented in the case of uninterpretable features that fail to be analyzed by the developing grammar.

The end of the war and the return to democracy was a time of great intellectual and political excitement - ‘never, as much as in this period, were ideas made to prevail upon hard facts’. Notions of social welfare and the planned economy were widely discussed and, to some extent, implemented: in 1945-7 the CIAI (Consiglio Industriale Alta Italia, Industrial Council of Northern Italy) empowered a group of ‘experts’ to manage industrial reconstruction directly, without the help of the Confederation of Italian Industry. In September 1946 a conference on the problem of poverty was held at Tremezzo (Lake Como), with the participation of both economists and politicians. Amongst the latter were Italian officials attached to the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA). Many delegates expressed impatience with the old doctrine of charity and social paternalism and notions of civic entitlement and a Beveridgean safety net ‘from the cradle to the grave’ were debated. In the same year, Ernesto Rossi, a radical economist, published a book on ‘abolishing poverty’ which voiced Fabian ideas about social redistribution. The Republican Constitution of 1947 reflected this new mindset: one of its drafters, Piero Calamandrei, famously described it as the spirit of the Resistance translated into juridical formulae. © Cambridge University Press 2007 and Cambridge University Press, 2009.}, keywords = {Eugenio Biagini}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @book{Noorden2007, title = {Reading Hesiod's' myth of the races' in Classical Antiquity}, author = {Helen Van Noorden}, isbn = {9781316190364}, year = {2007}, date = {2007-01-01}, urldate = {2007-01-01}, publisher = {University of Cambridge}, abstract = {This book offers a new description of the significance of Hesiod's 'myth of the races' for ancient Greek and Roman authors, showing how the most detailed responses to this story go far beyond nostalgia for a lost 'Golden' age or hope of its return.

The results support earlier studies in that the intrusive vowel quality resembles that of the following nucleic vowel, rather than a neutral vowel, and intrusive vowels are significantly longer in clusters with voiced obstruents than in those with voiceless ones. However, results do not fully support all previous phonetic descriptions and related theoretical assumptions. In particular, a significant difference is not found in intrusive vowel length based on variables such as place of articulation of the obstruent, quality of the nucleic vowel, or placement of stress in relation to the cluster. In addition, where previous work finds no significance for position in the word, the present work finds that intrusive vowels are significantly longer in word‐medial clusters than in word‐initial clusters.

Indirectly, attitudes were measured with a scale of stereotypes modelled on the work of Spolsky. English attainment was assessed by a cloze procedure as suggested by Oller. Results of factor analysis of the direct attitude questions regarding English show that several of these attitude factors are significantly related to English attainment as measured by the cloze test.

More specifically, we examine the correlation of +/−perfective verb forms in Greek and null objects with indefinite, non-specific interpretation. It is argued that although null objects are possible with both perfective and imperfective verbs, imperfective verbs favour object omission more than perfectives. We claim that this is due to two reasons: first, that there is a difference in the syntactic representation of overt direct objects with perfective and imperfective verbs, which is associated with the notion of economy in their respective derivations, i.e. Merge as opposed to Merge + Move; secondly, that perfective verbs show an interpretive difference at the LF interface depending on the overt versus null nature of the direct object, whereas imperfectives do not. The difference is related to the semantic notion of telicity. This prediction has been tested in an off-line sentence-completion task with two groups of native speakers of Greek, an adult and a child group. The data revealed that native speakers of Greek preferred to use overt DP objects with perfective verbs more than with imperfectives.

Two of the four tones (tones 3 and 4) were reported to be both breathy and low in most dialects of the group. For the present research (thirty years later), audio and electroglottographic data were collected from 5 speakers of the Risiangku Tamang dialect in their 30s or 40s. Voice quality was estimated by computing the glottal open quotient. The preliminary results confirm that in the speech of three speakers (M2, M3, M5), tones 3 and 4 have a higher open quotient (which provides an indirect cue to the degree of breathiness) than tones 1 and 2. Surprisingly though, tone 3 is more clearly breathy than tone 4, especially for speaker M2. This result differs from what could be considered the opinion of native speakers as reflected in the way they transcribe their language when using the devanagari script : the « voiced aspirate » series is used to transcribe tone 4 words, and the plain voiced for tone 3. The difference in open quotient between the four tones for the other two speakers is negligible or inconsistent. The study confirms the great variability of Tamang tones in terms of F0, as well as in terms of open quotient and supports an analysis of modern Tamang tones as possessing several correlates.

Yet despite these ambiguities, the relatively egalitarian nature of male–female relations in Southeast Asia is central to arguments claiming a coherent identity for the region. This challenging work by senior scholar Barbara Watson Andaya considers such contradictions while offering a thought-provoking view of Southeast Asian history that focuses on women’s roles and perceptions. Andaya explores the broad themes of the early modern era (1500–1800)—the introduction of new religions, major economic shifts, changing patterns of state control, the impact of elite lifestyles and behaviors—drawing on an extraordinary range of sources and citing numerous examples from Thai, Vietnamese, Burmese, Philippine, and Malay societies. In the process, she provides a timely and innovative model for putting women back into world history. Andaya approaches the problematic issue of "Southeast Asia" by considering ways in which topography helped describe a geo-cultural zone and contributed to regional distinctiveness in gender construction. She examines the degree to which world religions have been instrumental in (re)constructing conceptions of gender— an issue especially pertinent to Southeast Asian societies because of the leading role so often played by women in indigenous ritual. She also considers the effects of the expansion of long-distance trade, the incorporation of the region into a global trading network, the beginnings of cash-cropping and wage labor, and the increase in slavery on the position of women.

Indeed, when children learn the words of their first language they learn and develop three basic types of information within their mental lexicon: categorial information e.g. meet, verb; subcategorial information, e.g. meet, verb, transitive, and thematic grid: semantic roles e.g. kick <Agent, Patient>. Such information constitutes important information for modeling the grammar of the language in question and the architecture of grammar as a whole. This means therefore that developing clearly definable categories for all words of a language is an important endeavour in syntactic analysis. This is because words of a particular category or subcategory tend to have their own peculiar grammar. In Dagaare, for instance, there are separate rules and constraints governing nominal and verbal tonologies. However, it is often difficult to pin down the words of a language into neatly groomed word classes. And certainly not all word classes are existent in all languages, nor are their relative occurrences the same from language to language. The class of words called variously ideophones, expressives, etc. are a case in point. While a lot has been written about ideophones in some language groups, not much has been written about this group of words in some other language groups. The term is quite prevalent in African linguistics but not so common in Asian linguistics, at least not in Chinese linguistics. Ideophones should form a relatively concrete point of reference in a comparative study involving African and Asian languages. Indeed, there have been calls for exactly such a study (Watson 2001). In this paper we aim to address a number of issues, as outlined below, surrounding the term/concept of ideophones with data from Dagaare, a Gur language of West Africa and Cantonese, a Yue dialect of Chinese. Examples are sometimes drawn from other African and Asian languages towards an understanding of this group of words. (i) What are the properties of an ideophone/what makes a word qualify as an ideophone? In other words, are there peculiar phonology, morphological, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic features for ideophones? (ii) Do Dagaare and Cantonese/Chinese have ideophones? Are there different types of ideophones in each of these languages? (iii) If there are ideophones in Dagaare/African languages and in Chinese/Asian languages, are there any similarities between ideophones in these two groups of languages? Any systematic differences? Do the ideophones within each language and across languages belong to the same word class or are they in different word classes? (iv) What can the study of ideophones in African and Asian languages tell us about the universality of word classes? Are ideophones important for formal linguistic studies? (v) What do ideophones tell us about the link between language, literature, and culture? Towards responding to some or all of these questions/issues, some candidate data in Dagaare and Cantonese are presented and discussed in sections 3 and 4 respectively. We claim that both sets of data pass as ideophones.

This paper sets out to discuss the sphere of VEH on screen and how it is received by audiences who are exposed to instances which are mediated linguistically by means of dubbing. 1. Humour and Screen Translation The results of an interview survey carried out in 120 companies involved in the Italian dubbing industry and based in Rome and Milan shows that operators unanimously consider Verbally Expressed Humour (VEH) the most challenging factor in producing good quality translations for the screen (Benincà, 1999: 58-59 and 83-86). This of course fits in perfectly with the wider issue of humour and translation which has traditionally been considered to be a problematic area both from the perspective of its practical translation, in the sense that VEH is notoriously difficult to translate, and from a theoretical point of view owing to the fact that it is at odds with the very tenets of translation theory, the concepts of equivalence and translatability (Vandaele, 2002; Chiaro, 2005). However, no matter how complex issues concerning the translation of written and spoken instances of VEH may be, they are relatively simple when compared to the intricacy of having to translate them when they occur within a text created to be performed on screen. Films are multifaceted semiotic entities simultaneously communicating verbal signs acoustically (dialogue, song lyrics, etc.), visually (written texts, such as letters, newspaper headlines, banners, etc.), non-verbally but acoustically (music, background noises, etc.), and non-verbally but visually (actor's movements, facial expressions, setting, etc.).

In earlier work we have also described some aspects of C's learning of British Sign Language (BSL), a language produced and perceived in the visual modality. The present investigation gives further details of C's learning of BSL, by focusing on his use of sign language classifiers, and compares his uneven learning with that of a group of university language honours students. Specifically, although after exposure to an introduction to sign language course, C performed within normal limits on a variety of BSL constructions, he had significant difficulty with the production and comprehension of classifiers, a category that crucially involves the interaction of grammatical and spatial cognition. Here we present two new sets of results of tests of C's understanding and use of classifiers: his comprehension of sentences with differing degrees of spatial and grammatical encoding, and his performance on a placement task involving classifiers. In the first task C's poor performance was worst on those sentences with the most complex demands on spatial cognition. In the task placing objects on a table C performed well with real object placement but could not use the classifier system to represent object placement in sign space. Performance on these tasks as well as C's uneven profile of BSL acquisition is interpreted within an established model of the mind but with modifications to accommodate the interface between language processing and non-verbal, visuo-spatial cognition.}, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @bachelorthesis{Keating2006d, title = {What is Nanotechnology: New Properties of Words as Territories in a Cross-Disciplinary, Cross Border Flow}, author = {Elizabeth Keating and Leslie Jarmon}, doi = {10.17730/praa.28.2.7730711710867t83}, year = {2006}, date = {2006-04-01}, urldate = {2006-04-01}, journal = {Practicing Anthropology}, volume = {28}, number = {2}, pages = {6-10}, keywords = {Elizabeth Keating}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {bachelorthesis} } @article{Bodomo2006b, title = {Interactivity in Web-Based Learning}, author = {Adams Bodomo}, doi = {10.4018/jwltt.2006040102}, year = {2006}, date = {2006-04-01}, journal = {International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies}, volume = {1}, number = {2}, pages = {18-30}, abstract = {This article discusses one of the main features of ICT—interactivity.

This is true for researchers investigating the variant pronunciations of street names in Los Angeles, missionaries translating the Bible into a little-known tongue, and scholars obtaining data from a carefully controlled group in a laboratory experiment. Phonetic Data Analysis examines the procedures involved in describing the sounds of a language and illustrates the basic techniques of experimental phonetics, most of them requiring little more than a tape recorder, a video camera, and a computer. This book enables readers to work with a speaker in a classroom setting or to go out into the field and make their own discoveries about how the sounds of a language are made. Peter Ladefoged, one of the world's leading phoneticians, introduces the experimental phonetic techniques for describing the major phonetic characteristics of any language. Throughout the book there are also comments, written in a more anecdotal fashion, on Ladefoged's own fieldwork.}, keywords = {Bruce Connell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Connell2006bb, title = {Phonetic Data Analysis: An Introduction to Fieldwork and Instrumental Techniques (review)}, author = {Bruce Connell}, doi = {10.1353/cjl.2007.0017}, year = {2006}, date = {2006-03-01}, journal = {The Canadian Journal of Linguistics / La revue canadienne de linguistique }, volume = {51}, number = {1}, pages = {53-56}, keywords = {Bruce Connell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Tsimpli2006e, title = {The Acquisition of Voice and Transitivity Alternations in Greek as Native and Second Language}, author = {Ianthi Tsimpli and Ianthi Maria}, doi = {10.1075/lald.39.03tsi}, year = {2006}, date = {2006-02-15}, urldate = {2006-02-15}, journal = {Paths of Development in L1 and L2 Acquisition}, pages = {15-55}, abstract = {This paper investigates the acquisition of Greek voice morphology in relation to transitivity alternations.‘Non—active’voice morphology is found in reflexive, anti—causative and passive structures.

Developmentally, the study addresses hypotheses proposed for the acquisition of transitivity alternations (Borer 8: Wexler 1987; Borer 2004), based on comprehension and production data from Greek L1, as well as L1 Turkish speakers with Greek L2. Results show that L1 and L2 learners can ‘read’non—active morphology as passive or reflexive, indicating that it is syntactically computed.

This study compares the productions of French children aged 3, 4 and 5 years (N = 60) with those of French and English adults (N = 40) in two tasks that required them to locate objects and to describe object displacements. French adults frequently rely on verbs and focus on manner of attachment, whereas English adults frequently rely on satellites and focus on posture or manner of displacement. French children show few age differences between 3 and 5 years, generally following the French pattern from 3 years on, although they also differ from both groups of adults in some respects, showing developmental changes (overgeneralizations in prepositional use, expansion of the verbal lexicon). The discussion highlights the impact of language-specific determinants of acquisition in relation to the typological properties of French and English as verb-framed vs. satellite-framed languages. It is argued that languages invite speakers to rely on different linguistic means (information locus) and to pay attention to different types of information (information focus), thereby inducing different ways of organizing underlying spatial categories.}, keywords = {Henriette Hendriks}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Williams2006b, title = {Threatened Environments, Atrophying Cultures, Lacklustre Policies}, author = {Collin Williams}, doi = {10.1007/1-4020-3814-3_10}, isbn = {978-1-4020-3813-6}, year = {2006}, date = {2006-01-27}, pages = {153-166}, publisher = {Springer, Dordrecht}, abstract = {accompanied by additional considerations related to the survival of endangered peoples and cultures, to the overt discrimination against specific groups within multicultural societies and to the relative powerlessness of sections within society. Typically, such matters involve issues of native rights, land despoliation and pollution, sustainable development, neo-colonialism and globalisation, with the environment being very differently presented and represented by the various parties involved. The most extreme and urgent cases of concern are located in regions of Latin America, Central Africa, South-East Asia and Australasia, where evidence of global warming and the depletion of biodiversity have led to calls for global governance and the assertion of a trans-national liability for environmental damage. However, the increased recognition that the cultural-environmental nexus is a global continuum has led to a greater consciousness that similar if less disastrous cases of degradation and harm are also found in the more mature industrial societies. In these, evidence of environmental despoliation, cultural attrition and denial of group rights bespeak a common global condition. Both the United Kingdom and Canada provide examples comparable with those found in countries of the less developed world. The similarities extend further in the way that the relationship between specific dependent regions and the central state apparatus influences what is possible and determines the differentiated treatment of citizens within their respective territories. There is usually an integral relationship between the local cultural and natural environment within which a minority culture group is embedded within the wider state. The attitudes, perceptions and values of such a minority group will be fundamentally different to those of the majority with dominance over the wider state area.

Challenging issues that have to be addressed in alphabetic writing systems are how to felicitously represent difficult graphemes and other diacritics. These issues are discussed with reference to two African languages — Dagaare and Twi. After reviewing works for the development of orthography for these languages (Bodomo, 1997, 2000; GLASC, 1990; Hartell, 1993), we propose a set of Unicode graphemes for Dagaare and Twi, respectively, based on a discussion of the phonemic systems of the languages.

By contrast, simultaneously recorded oral airflow brings out a clear difference between these two sets of rhymes, confirming that voice quality plays a key role in maintaining the distinction between these rhymes, which are similar from the point of view of oral articulation.}, keywords = {Alexis Michaud}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Prasithrathsint2006b, title = {Reduced relative clauses in Thai and Vietnamese}, author = {Amara Prasithrathsint and Natchanan Yaowapat}, year = {2006}, date = {2006-01-01}, journal = {SEALS XVI}, pages = {143}, abstract = {The present study focuses on a string of noun–modifier in two Southeast Asian languages, that is, Thai and Vietnamese. This string of noun–modifier, such as nǎŋsɨ̌ɨ phԑԑŋ (bookexpensive)‘expensive book’in Thai, often brings about a controversy as to what linguistic category the modifier belongs to. Some linguists label such a modifier an adjective. Others consider it to be a relative clause. In this study, we argue that it is a type of relative clauses; namely, reduced relative clause because it has important universal characteristics of relative clauses, that is, it functions as a noun modifier, contains a main verb and a gap that is coreferential with the head noun. We also aim to uncover syntactic and semantic constraints that govern its occurrence. Syntactically, it is found that the clause normally begins with a verb without a relativizer at the beginning of the clause. It is also found that the reduced relative clause is obligatorily adjacent to the head noun. Concerning relativization, this type of relative clause cannot occur with relativized indirect object. Semantically, we found that reduced relative clauses modify only indefinite and non-specific head nouns.}, keywords = {Amara Prasithrathsint}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @book{Fina2006bb, title = {Discourse and Identity}, author = {Anna De Fina and Deborah Schiffrin and Michael Bamberg}, editor = {Anna De Fina and Deborah Schiffrin and Michael Bamberg}, doi = {10.1017/CBO9780511584459.018}, year = {2006}, date = {2006-01-01}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, abstract = {The relationship between language and identity has been a topic of interest for language scholars for centuries. As early as in the 1800s many philologists, including the famous brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, were proposing the idea that language reflected the collective identity of national communities. Benveniste (1971), one of the most important linguists of the 20th century, also stressed the centrality of identity in language through the notion of subjectivity. In his view, the direct or indirect presence of the speaker as a subject in the utterance had the power to transform language as an abstract system into discourse as an act of communication. In sum, theorizations about language and identity have always had a significant place in linguistics, but it is only in the last 20 years that this field has established itself as an area of investigation in its own right and as a field fundamentally concerned with discourse. Indeed, modern research on ways in which identity is constructed and conveyed in talk is firmly grounded in a view of language as discourse, that is as “actual instances of communication in the medium of language” (Johnstone, 2002, p. 2), and as phenomena embedded in concrete social contexts.}, keywords = {Anna De Fina}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {book} } @book{deFina2006, title = {Discourse and Identity}, author = {Anna de Fina and Deborah Schiffrin and Michael Bamberg}, doi = {10.1017/CBO9780511584459}, isbn = {9780511584459}, year = {2006}, date = {2006-01-01}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, abstract = {The relationship between language, discourse, and identity has always been a major area of sociolinguistic investigation.

Examples of naming include modern language, classical language, community language, heritage language, minority language, language other than English, foreign language. The term foreign language is probably the most widespread, although it is certainly not the most popular, especially in multilingual communities where the other language is in fact not foreign, but very much part of the everyday linguistic landscape. In fact in countries like Australia there have been significant debates around appropriate nomenclature for languages used in the community and learned in schools (e.g., Lo Bianco, 1987; Clyne, 1982). Our adoption of the term foreign language is somewhat reluctant in view of these debates and of the rather loaded meaning associated with the word foreign. However, our choice is motivated primarily by convenience: as the terms foreign language and foreign language learning are well known across the English language world, we use them as umbrella terms for the many terms associated in various communities with the learning of another language.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Anne Pauwels}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Pauwels2006bb, title = {The discourses of language maintenance in friendship practices amoung children of German, Greek and Vietnamese migrants}, author = {Anne Pauwels and Joanne Winter}, doi = {10.1515/IJSL.2006.044}, year = {2006}, date = {2006-01-01}, journal = {International Journal of the Sociology of Language}, volume = {2006}, number = {180}, pages = {123-139}, abstract = {Our contribution explores the language maintenance (LM) patterns of children of migrants (second-generation) to Australia from three ethnolinguistic groups - German, Greek, and Vietnamese - in their same-age peer friendships.

Interestingly, some person compounds have emerged into the gender-inclusive language landscape that were not promoted or supported as part of feminist language planning eg, waitperson.

(Foucault 1977: 53) Among the various fields of contemporary linguistics that anthropologists recognize as potentially relevant for their own discipline, pidgin and creole studies figure prominently. Why? For three essential reasons. First, pidgins and creoles have arisen in sociocultural situations that have proved to be of great interest to anthropologists since the 1950s, namely situations of cultural contacts often fostered, but not necessarily so, by European colonization. Second, pidgins and creoles have developed concomitantly with new cultural worlds, thus comforting anthropologists in their understanding of language as part of culture and of language as culture. Part of this approach has its intellectual roots in the works of the German philosopher Herder, and has been instrumental in shaping much of North American cultural anthropology (see Leavitt, this volume). Third, the cultural processes linked to pidginization and creolization show that “enlanguagement,” defined here as the process by which sociocultural groups create for themselves the language that becomes the medium of their new cultural life, is a cultural process as much as it is a cognitive one. But overall, the question of the birth conditions of these new languages is what has caught the attention of anthropologists. And the stories are fascinating, not only because of the human drama that has set the stage for the birthing process (colonization, slavery, indentured labour), but because of what this birth reveals about human agency.}, type = {inbook}, keywords = {Christine Jourdan}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @conference{Perrin2006bb, title = {Writing by primary school children: Product and process-related differences between age groups}, author = {Daniel Perrin and Aleksandra Gnach}, year = {2006}, date = {2006-01-01}, keywords = {Daniel Perrin}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {conference} } @conference{Perrin2006bb, title = {Coaching and professional writing?

She was twenty years older than Signer a and acquired deafness due to illness at the age of three and attended the same deaf school as Signer a. She learned HKSL from her peers at school. Both claimed to be using HKSL in daily communications.

Italian translators of The importance have thus been faced with the bind of having to decide on whether to render the said wordplay, even though only unsatisfactorily, by replacing the transparent name Ernest with a target language ‘equivalent’, or safeguard the cultural-onomastic ‘reality’ of the play, i.e. leave the Victorian given name Ernest in its source text form. It turns out that the latter policy is generally compensated for — as part of the metatextual/metalinguistic discourse — within prefaces, glosses and, more significantly, via intratextual additions. The translators opting for substituting Ernest for an Italian counterpart, in turn, have, as a direct consequence of their basic choice, been able to enrich their versions of The importance with unprecedented puns, which underlines the ‘creative’ dimension involved in producing literary translations. Besides the two core translation policies described above, the translators have also opted for introducing the nativized form Ernesto, thus showing little concern with the questions of ‘cultural purity’ or punning, respectively.

We also discuss the relation between optionality and finiteness features in L2 grammars as well as how morphology interacts with the development of null operator structures (NOS). Specifically the article deals with the use of pronouns or empty categories in NOS and their relation to finiteness. We discuss the role of clitics in adult second language acquisition when the first language (L1) and the L2 differ in the choices of the pronominal system and in their choice for a gap or clitic pronoun in NOS. The subjects studied are speakers of Greek and of Spanish, languages with clitics, learning English, a language without clitics, as well as speakers of English learning Greek or Spanish. The data collected support the claim that optionality is found in developing grammars but not randomly. First, there is a difference in the degree and nature of optionality found developmentally in advanced as opposed to intermediate learners; secondly, the degree of optionality depends on the morphological richness characterizing L1 and L2 in relation to the phenomena studied. Thus, English learners of Spanish or Greek show more optionality in the use of clitic pronouns and less evidence for a correlation between finiteness and clitics in NOS.

Orders unlike West Germanic in both OE and ME, and synchronic variation more generally, are shown to be derived from the side-by-side availability in the OE and ME grammar of pied piping and ‘stranding’, and the word-order changes that occurred in ME are analysed as the consequence of a reanalysis of the ever more liberal ‘stranding’-permitting pied-piping grammar as one which specifically targets DPs.}, keywords = {Ian Roberts}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Deumert2005bb, title = {Authentic Teaching as the Context for Language Learning}, author = {Ana Deumert and Christine Spratt}, year = {2005}, date = {2005-04-01}, journal = {Journal of Educational Technology & Society}, volume = {8}, number = {2}, pages = {83-93}, abstract = {This paper reports the redevelopment and subsequent evaluation of a unit in dialectology within a foreign language curriculum (German).

Data considered are monologic narratives as con-structed by the children of their own accord, mother—child co-constructed personal narratives, and mother—child interactions around book-reading activities. The aim of the book is to determine how much the development of narrative skills is universal versus language-specific; how far mothers and other caretakers influence this development; and how important cultural differences are for this development. The author hopes that the book will provide an accurate portrait of how early social interactions help children acquire communicative competence, and thus help them become competent members of society. In looking at Japanese children in particular, the author hopes to contribute a more cross-cultural understanding of the de-velopment of narrative skills. Results of the study lead into issues of the transmission from home to school situations and its effects on narrative skills; cross-cultural differences in expectancies about what a 'good' personal narrative is; problems for children being evaluated in a foreign language/ culture, and problems for the teaching of narrative skills in a second language. The book has nine chapters. The main body of the book is followed by an extensive bibliography, and an index of subjects and authors. Following Vygotsky's and Bruner's ideas on the child's cognitive devel-opment, Minami assumes that children need opportunities for cooperative verbal and nonverbal interactions with adults to become competent speakers of a language, and that it is through meaningful social interactions with those adults guiding and scaffolding the child's participation that the child develops socio-culturally appropriate ways of using language.

Although the authors draw on a range of analytic, theoretical, and methodological traditions (conversation analysis, ethnography, distributed cognition, and workplace studies), all are concerned to explore and illuminate the inherently multimodal character of social interaction. Recent studies, including those collected in this volume, suggest that different modalities work together not only to elaborate the semantic content of talk but also to constitute coherent courses of action. In this introduction we present evidence for this position.

The central issue is the analysis of VSO order, the only unmarked clausal order in Welsh. The question is: which values of which parameters of Universal Grammar determine VSO order? Behind this basic descriptive goal, there are two theoretical questions. The first has to do with the conditions of adequacy on parameters: these must be both typologizable and learnable. The second concerns the Extended Projection Principle (EPP). Developing the conception of this principle in Chomsky (2000, 2001), it is concluded that it is a parametrized property of the C-system and/or the I-system, and that it seems to be intrinsically connected to the defective nature of certain functional heads. Successive chapters deal with the analysis of VSO orders, the Welsh Case-agreement system as it applies to both subjects and objects, the 'verbal noun', and the nature of the C-system.

It may cause uncertainty in language but is regarded as an important feature in English academic writing. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the style of academic writing in English with particular reference to the significant role of hedging and the linguistic features that mark it. The data was taken from academic articles in the humanities written by native speakers of English, Filipino speakers of English, and Thai speakers of English. It is hypothesized that speakers of English as a foreign language use fewer and different hedging devices than native speakers of English. The result of the analysis shows that the prominent linguistic markers of hedging are the auxiliaries may, might, could, the verbs suggest, appear, seem, and the adverbs perhaps and often. They are divided into three groups according to their stylistic attributes of hedging; namely, probability, indetermination, and approximation. The use of hedging found in the data confirms what Hyman (1994) says; i.e., that hedging allows writers to express their uncertainty about the truth of their statements. It is also found that English native speakers use hedges most frequently. The Filipino speakers of English are the second, and the Thai speakers of English use hedges the least frequency. This implies that hedging is likely to be related to the level of competence in English including knowledge of stylistic variation, and that it needs to be formally taught to those who speak English as a second or foreign language.}, keywords = {Amara Prasithrathsint}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Prasithrathsint2005c, title = {Variation in the use of numeral classifiers in Ahom: Implications for a typological shift from a classifier to a non-classifier language}, author = {Amara Prasithrathsint}, year = {2005}, date = {2005-01-01}, journal = {Paper Summary of the 38th International Sino-Tibetan Conference}, abstract = {This study focuses on the use and non-use of numeral classifiers in Ahom, an extinct Tai language spoken by the Ahom people who ruled the Brahmaputra Valley in the Indian State of Assam between the 13th and the 18th century.

Chapter 2 sets out to summarise essential grammatical features of this previously undescribed language.

Further verb classes according to syntactically relevant components of meaning are proposed. Chapter 7 introduces a number of processes that change the lexical meaning of a verb - the unexpressed object alternation and the distributive and iterative derivations - or alter the valence of a verb - the passive and the causative derivation.

Rather, they have historical and social contexts – in particular, those set by the processes through which the pre-modern states were brought into being, which have had a continuing influence on these patterns right into modern times. At least four kinds of early state are recognisable in Southeast Asia: coastal trading states, colonial-response states, inland sacred-city (or ‘middle kingdom’) states, and cultural suppletion (or mainland migration) states.

In Fishman's version, domains were considered as theoretical constructs that can explain language choice which were supposed to be a more powerful explanatory tool than more obvious (and observable) parameters like topic, place (setting) and interlocutor. In the meantime, at least in Scandinavia, the term 'domain' has been taken up in the debate among politicians and in the media, especially in the discussion whether some languages undergo 'domain loss' vis-à-vis powerful international languages like English. A first objection that has been raised is that domains, as originally conceived, are parameters of language choice and not properties of languages, hence languages do not 'have' domains, and therefore cannot lose them. A second objection is that the classical domain concept is not necessarily applicable to the present Danish sociolinguistic situation, since stable multilingualism for in-group communication is absent at least for the dominant group of Danish speakers. A further objection is concerned with the applicability of the domain concept to actual patterns of language choice in multilingual settings.

This suggests that asymmetries of status may be context-specific in ways that are not revealed by generalized descriptions of a society's social organization. Looking at particular interactions contributes to our understanding of the situated, collaborative process of creating and sustaining social difference. Pohnpeians use honorifics to create status relationships between individuals when referring to a person's activities, such as giving and taking or coming and going, as well as when referring to possessions, knowledge states, food and eating. In Pohnpei, as in some other Pacific societies, high and low status are linked to vertical as well as horizontal spatial orientations, so that space can be reinterpreted in a way that is analogous to status markings in language.

It is argued that the difference between first and second language grammars is restricted to the domain of uninterpretable features in that these are subject to Critical Period constraints. Consequently, uninterpretable features become inaccessible in L2 acquisition and, thus, “late”L2 grammars misanalyse elements which are clusters of such features in the target language. Morphological elements of this type are pronominal clitics and the definite article in Greek which belong to the same category, namely D(eterminer). The distinction within the set of pronominal clitics between 1st and 2nd prson clit ics, on one hand, and 3rd person clitics, on the other, is also viewed as a difference between the former composition, while the latter are unspecified for this feature. As a result, the prediction is that L2 acquisition should mirror this difference in terms of a dissociation in the development of clitics with a [person] feature, and those without. On the basis of the data presented, it is argued that L1 acquisition of clitics and determiners is characterized by an earliest stage where these morphemes – and, arguably, the corresponding projections –are missing, to the second stage which shows mastery of the relevant features regardless of interpretability. On the other hand, L2 acquisition data from an advanced stage of development show persistent problems in the use of the 3rd person clitic and the definite article, thus supporting the hypothesis regarding the learnability hierarchy of interpretable and uninterpretable features and, at the same time, showing that use of determiners and clitics is restricted by a feature of [referentiality / definiteness] imposed on these problematic elements by the L2 grammar.

Past tense or perfective marking tends to associate first with only Achievement and Accomplishment predicates whereas progressive marking is used exclusively on Activities. In languages that grammaticalise the distinction between the perfective and the imperfective, perfective past precedes imperfective past, and the latter starts with States and Activities. Progressive marking never generalises to States in L1, but it does in L2 although very rarely, as pointed out by Bardovi-Harlig (1999-2000). This phenomenon has been labelled as the Aspect Hypothesis (AH) because both the L1 and L2 learners seem to be initially “influenced by the inherent semantic aspect of verbs or predicates in the acquisition of tense and aspect markers” ( Andersen and Shirai 1994 ; 133). Although the Aspect Hypothesis has been well-attested in research on the L1 and L2 acquisition of such Indo-European languages as English, French German, Italian and Spanish, studies to test the Aspect Hypothesis in the L1 and L2 acquisition of Chinese have been scarce. This paper attempts to fill in the gap.

The lactase-persistence phenotype is found at low frequencies in the majority of populations in sub-Saharan Africa that have been tested, but, in some populations, particularly pastoral groups, it is significantly more frequent. Recently, a CT polymorphism located 13.9 kb upstream of exon 1 of the lactase gene (LCT) was shown in a Finnish population to be closely associated with the lactase-persistence phenotype (Enattah et al. 2002). We typed this polymorphism in 1,671 individuals from 20 distinct cultural groups in seven African countries. It was possible to match seven of the groups tested with groups from the literature for whom phenotypic information is available. In five of these groups, the published frequencies of lactase persistence are >/=25%. We found the T allele to be so rare that it cannot explain the frequency of the lactase-persistence phenotype throughout Africa. By use of a statistical procedure to take phenotyping and sampling errors into account, the T-allele frequency was shown to be significantly different from that predicted in five of the African groups. Only the Fulbe and Hausa from Cameroon possessed the T allele at a level consistent with phenotypic observations (as well as an Irish sample used for comparison). We conclude that the C-13.9kbT polymorphism is not a predictor of lactase persistence in sub-Saharan Africans.

The word ‘authentic’implies genuineness, credibility, legitimacy, and worthiness of acceptance. In some Asian societies, many believe that same-sex desire is anything but authentic. Even nowadays, same-sex desire is sometimes viewed in Hong Kong as an undesirable product of colonialism. Some consider gay Hongkongers traitors to their own race who have succumbed to Western influences (Chou, 2000, p. 65). How then do gay rights activists in Hong Kong–often known as tongzhi (‘comrade’) activists–build a social movement on something that is regarded as false, illegitimate, and most important of all,‘un-Chinese’or even ‘anti-Chinese’? This paper is an attempt to answer this question. To show that same-sex desire is authentically Chinese, tongzhi activists appeal to tradition that is presumably shared by Chinese people all over the world. However, tradition is not a static body of beliefs and practices that is handed down from one generation to another. Rather, it is an on-going interpretation of the past that reflects contemporary concerns. As Jocelyn Linnekin (1983) argues,“the selection of what constitutes tradition is always made in the present; the content of the past is modified and redefined according to a modern significance”(p. 241). Only certain elements of the past are chosen in the invention of tradition.

The former is a ditransitive c onstruction with a single predicate and two contiguous objects (double object construction). The latter comprises a verbal complex of two transitive predicates with non- contiguous objects in a monoclausal construction. Despite these differences in syntactic form, some speakers acknowledge that the two types of sentences accomplish the same function of expressing the benefactive. However, a second level of intuition p roduces s ome nuances in meaning, such as the ability of the serial verb construction to express the notion of ultimate source and effort of action. This paper proposes that, in expressing the benefactive, the Cantonese speaker decides between double object constructions and serial verb constructions.

Education, particularly higher education, has been identified as a leading site of contact with and trajectories of change for gender-inclusive language reform. We focus in particular on one of the main features of gender-inclusive language reform: generic pronouns. The results of the ICE corpus analysis suggest that adoption of gender-inclusive and gender-neutral generic pronouns is not yet profiled in these "outer-circle" Englishes.

This early jargon is probably based on a pidgin that developed in Australia between the British settlers in New South Wales and the aboriginal population at the end of the 18th century (Troy 1985; Baker 1993). It further expanded and stabilized during the plantation period of the second part of the 19th century that linked the Melanesian archipelagos of Vanuatu and the Solomons to Australia. The labour trade to Queensland lasted for roughly 40 years, from 1863 to 1906. At the beginning of the trade period, the Australian planters started to recruit in New Caledonia, the New Hebrides, the Melanesian archipelago closest to Australia; when recruiting in the southern islands became dif-ficult, they moved north towards the Banks Islands, the Santa Cruz archipelago and later, around 1874, toward the Solomon Islands. Around 13,000 Solomon Islanders were taken to Queensland during the forty-year period. The pidgin language (called Kanaka Pidgin English) that was used on the plantations became the lingua franca spoken among Melanesian workers (the Kanakas, as they were called) who did not share the same language, and between Melanesians and European overseers. When Solomon Islanders went back to the Solomons at the end of their contract, or when they were forcefully repatriated at the end of the labour trade period (1904), they brought Melanesian pidgin to the Solomon Islands. The result was that the pidgin became quite spread-out throughout the eastern part of the archipelago, but, not having a social raison d’être, it remained largely unused, except for affect.

Moreover this article reassesses earlier findings made about the suffix -esque, namely its low productivity in creation of neologisms and its apparent usage limited to literary and journalistic styles. The alleged constraint for all its bases to be referring to a human being is also reconsidered and our semantic analysis questions the value of "extreme" supposedly added by -esque to the nominal basis. Indeed, its usage in French shows that if this suffix is no longer typically associated to a nominal basis referring to the people of a country (see mauresque or arabesque), the human dimension associated to the nominal basis such as in la soldatesque, is not always found either (see TV-esque). Rather, this suffix seems to have lost its role as a simple identifier towards a referential domain as found in expressions such as une oeuvre molièresque which could be glossed over as "une oeuvre typique de Molière". This identification is most of the time linked to a laudatory or negative appreciation on the part of the enunciator, as found in examples such as gargantuesque. Besides, the contemporary dynamism of the -esque flexion enables the creation of neologisms. These neologisms are derived from proper nouns (mitterrandesque) or from acronyms (rmiesque) that do not exhibit standard properties. This begs the question of whether the value which seemed to be added to the composite [noun + esque] is determined by the suffix itself or whether it is partially connected to the atypical notional value of the root's semantic value.}, keywords = {Fabienne Baider}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Baider2004bb, title = {Ontologies, Gender Studies and the Academe}, author = {Fabienne Baider and Evelyne Jacquey}, year = {2004}, date = {2004-01-01}, journal = {International Gender and Language Association}, keywords = {Fabienne Baider}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Baider2004bb, title = {Integrating social and sociological concepts in knowledge organisation}, author = {Fabienne Baider and Evelyne Jacquey and A.

Gafos attributes this restriction on consonant harmony to articulatory contiguity (the units of which are phonetic gestures), whereby “the vowel gestures are contiguous in a VCV sequence but consonant gestures are not contiguous in a CVC sequence”(1999: 41). If one assumes that all phonological processes are strictly local, and that the correct notion of locality in phonology is articulatory contiguity, as Gafos suggests, then the logical consequence is that “phonological spreading… could not be involved between the two consonants of a CVC configuration… because the vowel interrupts the articulatory contiguity between the two consonants”(Gafos 1999: 41). In order to test the predictions of this theory, henceforth referred to as Strict Locality, we analyze the system of consonantal harmony involving the feature [back] in the Northwest dialect of the Turkic language Karaim. We demonstrate that neither this system nor the behavior of consonant harmony cross-linguistically can be insightfully accounted for in the surface-phonetics theory espoused by the proponents of Strict Locality.

A satisfactory rendering of realia in Hawthorne is a di? cult task facing the translator, especially because the connotations inherent in source text realia, which ultimately enrich the literary text on a semantic-aesthetic level (e.g. by conveying irony), are lacking in their target-speci? c counterparts. Introductory texts explaining the socio-historical background related to early colonial America as well as the translator's metadiscourse in the form of notes or within the text itself help the readerto bridge the cultural-historical gap (in some cases making the `simple' importation of realia possible in favour of local colouring), but translators seem to have reservations especially as regards the use of footnotes. I have looked into six modern translations of Young Goodman Brown (German, Italian and French) to see how the di? erent translators have handled realia in their texts. I have then attempted to illustrate what kind of associations a speci? c rendering is likely to trigger and to what extent it does justice to the extra-literary and literary functions the realia was meant to ful? ll by the author. Of special interest is the ontological status of anthroponyms, since it is not clear how much "culture-specific" information is conveyed through them: we thus find the translator caught up between leaving proper names as they are (and by doing so possibly preserving some of the tale's local colour) and replacing them with a target-specific form/name (thus carrying over some `meanings' crucial to the full appreciation of the tale's literary dimension). On that score, Young Goodman Brown, being partly allegorical, is a rewarding object of study, since the name Faith and the title of civility Goodman (the latter functioning as a substitute for a name) contain both cultural and literary information.

I focus on how narrators articulate orientation and on how listeners engage in interactional work to make sense of narrated events. I argue that orientation management in storytelling illustrates how the use of linguistic resources connects narrators and interlocutors to micro and macro social contexts. I also suggest that consideration of the role played by orientation in different types of narratives has two important methodological consequences: it leads analysts to look critically at received notions about narrative structure, and it opens new paths for the analysis of the multiple links between narratives and social contexts. The phenomena analyzed include vagueness in the provision of orientation details, interactional negotiations over orientation, predominance of space over time orientation in certain narratives or narrative sections, and use of shared conventions for narrating the border crossing experience.

The study found gender differences in the past-tense morphology of the 4-, 6- and 8-year-old participants, and it is argued that the role-model hypothesis would most adequately explain these differences.

This article argues that their study can also be relevant to our understanding of second language acquisition/use as non-canonical contact languages are often situated on a continuum between pidginization (a group-based process of collective L2 norm emergence under conditions of minimal input) and the more general processes of (untutored) second language acquisition. An example of a non-canonical contact language is Namibian Black German. In the paper data on participle regularization in Namibian Black German and other German-oriented contact varieties (e.g. Unserdeutsch, Gastarbeiterdeutsch) will be discussed. Recent work in linguistic theory has argued that the language faculty has a dual structure, consisting of a lexicon and a computational system [Chomsky, N., 1986. Knowledge of Language: Its Nature, Origin and Use. Praeger, New York]. The formation of regular and irregular participles has been interpreted as reflecting this dual structure: regular participles show rule-based inflections, strong participles are lexical entries. The direction of language change as well as data from German L1 acquisition and elicited production experiments with native speakers have provided support for this model [Behav. Brain Sci. 22(1999)991]. The L2 data discussed in this paper suggests that the dual mechanism model cannot account for German L2 performance data or the direction of contact-induced language change.

The existence of persistent historical commonalities between standard languages has been a central motivation for the construction of cross-linguistic models and the general interest in a comparative, synthetic approach to the study of language standardization. In this concluding section we would like to outline some broad directions for further research in the ªeld of "comparative standardology". Language standardization as creation and convergence In the popular imagination the history of standard languages is intricately con- nected to the activities of individuals and institutions. Indeed, the popular linguis- tic pantheon is ªlled with the names of the "standardizers" who set out to regulate and codify their native language, and standardization is — at least in part — seen as the direct consequence and result of the rational, goal-oriented actions carried out by these individual and collective social actors.1 Not only is it necessary (as already noted in the introduction) to carefully consider the various and sometimes con- ¶icting motivations of these actors (e.g. cultural aspirations, administrative uniªca- tion, economic advantage, political strategy, etc.), but their complex and manifold national and also trans-national interactions and collaborations deserve further attention. In this context it is worth mentioning the approach of De Groof (e.g. 2002b) which attempts — with regard to Belgian language history — a systematic cross-tabulation of the goals and motivations of a large number of social actors, as well as Watts' (1999) more ethnographically inspired reconstruction of the "dis- course communities" of eighteenth century English grammarians.}, keywords = {Ana Deumert}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Deumert2003bb, title = {Standard languages}, author = {Ana Deumert and Wim Vandenbussche}, doi = {10.1075/impact.18.01deu}, year = {2003}, date = {2003-10-27}, pages = {1-14}, publisher = {Taxonomies and histories.

The article evaluates the ways in which speaker agency has been conceptualised in these discussions and critically reviews the explanatory status of traditional ‘belief–desire' models of action in the light of evolutionary, neuropsychological and sociological contributions to the question of human agency. Considering the generally accepted definition of language as a collective structure, the article discusses further whether explanations should invoke individuals (‘methodological individualism') or collectives (‘methodological holism') as the agents of linguistic change. It is suggested that Giddens's theory of structuration, which attempts to overcome the dichotomy of individualism vs. holism and to disassociate agency from individual intentionality, is a useful starting point for future theorising. While speaker-oriented approaches to language change are an important part of the explanatory inventory of historical linguistics, not all linguistic changes are equally amenable to explanations in terms of speaker agency.

Individual variation found among the L2 learners although superficially problematic for a UG-based theory of language development, is, at the same time, interesting in that the pattern of differential development of formal features is consistent among learners and the variation attested is one of degree. Furthermore, the differences found between the formal features examined raise interesting implications with regard to the possibilities of ‘morphological misanalysis’ in L2 grammars.

Background Assumptions and the basic hypothesis • Syntactic attrition is a consequence of a long-term contact of the native with the second language; it is expected to be found primarily in near-native speakers of the second language who use L1 and L2 in roughly equal amounts in everyday situations. • Syntactic attrition could be described as a change in the steady-state of L1 as this is found in monolingual speakers. • Within the Principles and Parameters framework, the change in the S s (L1) is predicted to affect aspects of a parameter for which the L1 and L2 assume a different value (e.g. the Null Subject parameter in Italian vs English). • However, syntactic attrition cannot be argued to change (or 'unset') the L1 value of a given parameter as this would imply that the syntax of the native language can be lost in case a second language is acquired. • In Minimalist terms (Chomsky, 1995), morpho-syntactic features differ in terms of their interpretability at LF. Parameters are associated with the value of non-interpretable features only. By assumption, parameter-setting in L1 acquisition remains constant and cannot be affected by syntactic attrition (for reasons to do with the Modularity of the language system). • In L2 acquisition and language impairment, the distinction between interpretable and non-interpretable features seems to affect learnability (Tsimpli, 1996, 2001). • The Hypothesis: Syntactic attrition primarily affects morpho-syntactic features that are interpretable at the LF interface (Sorace, 2000). Being an interface level, LF is not modular and allows for changes in the interpretation of morpho-syntactic features in the context of L1/L2 contact resulting in syntactic attrition. • Through attrition the affected features become unspecified giving rise to optionality in grammatical options.}, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Tsimpli2003c, title = {Dissociation of social affect and theory of mind in a case of Asperger syndrome}, author = {Ianthi Tsimpli and Neil Smith and Beate Hermelin}, year = {2003}, date = {2003-01-01}, urldate = {2003-01-01}, volume = {15}, pages = {357-377}, abstract = {We report on a case of Asperger syndrome (KH), who has considerable linguistic ability with a verbal IQ of 153.

The findings from fieldwork in a Malawian township show that half of the Pentecostal churches there regard themselves as 'independent'. Although claims to independency arise from betrayals of the Pentecostal promise of radical equality in the Holy Spirit, independency does sustain Pentecostals' desire for membership in a global community of believers. Pentecostal independency thus provides a perspective on African engagements with the apparent marginalisation of the sub-continent in the contemporary world.

Adopting an approach that emphasizes meanings emergent in discourse, it aims to contribute to our understanding of the role of ideology in the semantic variation and change of words about people: nouns used to label them, as well as adjectives, verbs and adverbs that are used to describe them and their actions. A popular address term in Communist China, tongzhi was appropriated by gay rights activists in Hong Kong in the late 1980s to refer to sexual minorities. The use or the avoidance of tongzhi in three communities of practice-namely, tongzhi activists, other lesbians and gay men, and journalists of Oriental Daily News (the most widely circulated newspaper in Hong Kong)-illustrates the struggle over the meaning of the term and sheds light on how semantic change begins (ie actuation) and how it spreads (ie transmission). Like sound change, semantic change is often actuated by speakers' need for the presentation of self in everyday life.

These popular stereotypes gained in stature when they were endorsed by or validated in the “academic” and “scientific” literature of the day (for an overview see eg Baron 1986; Kramarae 1981). This “scientific” validation in turn led to the desire for the codification and regulation of women’s speech, and of women as speakers. Cameron (1995; this volume) as well as other scholars of language and gender have documented the many rules, codes, and guides that were developed to codify and control.}, keywords = {Anne Pauwels}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Pauwels2003b, title = {Mapping trajectories of change–women’s and men’s practices and experiences of feminist linguistic reform in Australia}, author = {Anne Pauwels and Joanne Winter}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1075/aral.26.1.03win}, year = {2003}, date = {2003-01-01}, journal = {Australian Review of Applied Linguistics}, volume = {26}, number = {1}, pages = {19-37}, abstract = {In this paper we address the issue of the evaluation of feminist language planning in Australia.

Presumably, these attitudes would have been embedded in the culture that Bugis migrants brought to the Malay world in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. On the island of Riau, which became the center for Bugis influence in the kingdom of Johor and the larger Malay world, intermarriage between Bugis and Malays meant these gender imperatives were somewhat diluted. Nonetheless, the influence of women of Bugis-Malay descent was still evident in Riau’s ruling circles in the early nineteenth century. During this period, however, new formulations of gender status began to penetrate Islamic society through the reformist and more fundamentalist teachings of the Wahabi. The influence of these teachings, which strengthened existing ambiguity towards the presence of women in public life, are evident in the Tuhfat al-Nafis, the history of the Bugis diaspora written by the great scholar Raja Ali Haji.

Data from printed and online sources reveal that comparable metaphors are available in French and Italian but also that they have a wider range of applicability. Relevant metaphorical expressions may serve to represent women in a sexist way (via comparison to such categories of animals as livestock, game, pets, insects, and wild animals) but also to discriminate against other groups perceived as opponents or socially marginal (i.e. competitors like the police or inferiors like homosexuals) by the mainstream dominant group. Our data also show that not all metaphorical epithets are used the same way: some are reserved for talking to people, others for referring to them; some metaphorical address terms serve as expressions of endearment, others as insults; some lexicalised metaphors focus on sexual desirability, others on sexual denigration, still others on other types of trivialisation. Our findings suggest that the ideological significance of a metaphor (i.e. the mappings between its source and target domains and its specific lexical encoding) can be better assessed when explored in relation to complementary or neighbouring domains of experience. Finally, our discussion indicates, more generally, a need to take into account the contextualisation of metaphors in providing an account of their linguistic, social and cultural import. Der Beitrag fragt nach der einzelsprachenübergreifenden Gültigkeit von Hines Ergebnissen zu englischen Tiermetaphern, die Frauen als Objekt sexueller Begierde beschreiben. Daten aus verschiedenen Quellen belegen, daß es vergleichbare Metaphorisierungen auch im Italienischen und Französischen gibt, die allerdings ein breiteres Anwendungsspektrum aufweisen. Entsprechende metaphorische Ausdrücke können etwa dazu dienen, Frauen sexistisch darzustellen (durch Analogien zu Kategorien wie 'Vieh', 'Spiel', 'Haustiere', 'Insekten' und 'Wildtiere'), oder auch andere gesellschaftliche Gruppen, die im Verhältnis zur dominanten Gruppe abweichende Merkmale aufweisen, zu diskriminieren (z.B. Homosexuelle). Unsere Auswertungen zeigen ebenfalls, dass nicht alle metaphorischen Attribute in der gleichen Weise benutzt werden: einige werden aussschließlich zum Ansprechen von Personen verwendet, andere, um über sie zu sprechen; einige dienen als Koseformen, andere als Beleidigungen; verschiedene lexikalisierte Metaphern fokussieren auf sexuelles Verlangen, andere auf sexuelles Herabwürdigen, wieder andere auf weitere Typen von Geringschätzungen. Unsere Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass die ideologische Bedeutung einer Metapher (d.h. die mappings zwischen der Ausgangs-und Zieldomäne und ihre spezifische lexikalische Enkodierung) besser bestimmt werden kann, wenn sie im Verhältnis zu komplementären oder benachbarten Erfahrungsbereichen untersucht wird.

While symbolic interactionist theories have been centrally concerned with meaning, they have failed to theorize how issues of meaning might figure in the addict's inevitable subjective estrangement from his or her drug-related activities. This stems from their failure to appreciate the reality of non-symbolic meaning, or meaningful experience that manifests pre-reflectively, at the level of our immediate bodily encounter with reality.

Various researchers have argued that, despite some superficial differences, signed languages also display the property of formal structuring at various levels of grammar and a similar language acquisition timetable, suggesting that the principles and parameters of Universal Grammar (UG) apply across modalities (Brentari 1998; Crain and Lillo-Martin 1999; Lillo-Martin 1999). The fact that signed and spoken languages share the same kind of cognitive systems and reflect the same kind of mental operations was suggested by Fromkin (1973), who also argued that having these similarities does not mean that the differences resulting from their different modalities are uninteresting. Meier (this volume) compares the intrinsic characteristics of the two modalities and suggests some plausible linguistic outcomes. He also comments that the opportunity to study other signed languages in addition to American Sign Language (ASL) offers a more solid basis to examine this issue more systematically.

The results from tests of comprehension and production of morphology and syntax, together with observations of his conversational abilities and judgments of grammaticality, indicate that despite his dyspraxia and visuo-spatial impairments, Christopher approaches the task of learning BSL in a way largely comparable to that in which he has learned spoken languages. However, his learning of BSL is not uniformly successful. Although Christopher approaches BSL as linguistic input, rather than purely visuo-spatial information, he fails to learn completely those parts of BSL for which an intact nonlinguistic visuo-spatial domain is required (e.g. the BSL classifier system). The unevenness of his learning supports the view that only some parts of language are modality-free. Accordingly, this case illuminates crossmodality issues, in particular, the relationship of sign language structures and visuo-spatial skills. By exploring features of Christopher's signing and comparing it to normal sign learners, new insights can be gained into linguistic structures on the one hand and the cognitive prerequisites for the processing of signed language on the other.

In the French language, there are quite a number of adjectives changing their meaning according to their position before or after the noun. In our example, had the minister previously mentioned been a man, the writer would have had a choice. He could have used the paradigmatic equivalent of dame which is monsieur "Quel grand monsieur!" or he could have used the noun homme, "Quel grand homme!". Both expressions mean the same thing : "What a great man". However, describing a woman, he could not use the noun femme, the paradigmatic equivalent of homme since "Quelle grande femme" means "What a tall woman!" and not "What a great woman!". Somehow, the noun femme prevents the positive connotation of the adjective when placed before the nouns dame, monsieur and homme.

From this position the various forces acting on the translator and the translation can be controlled through mediation focussed on the benefit to the reader.}, keywords = {David Katan}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Vaux2002b, title = {Disharmony and derived transparency in Uyghur Vowel Harmony}, author = {Bert Vaux}, year = {2002}, date = {2002-08-26}, urldate = {2002-08-26}, journal = {North East Linguistics Society}, volume = {30}, number = {2}, pages = {1 - 19}, abstract = {this paper I argue on the basis of the phonological behavior of disharmonic vowels that Uyghur vowel harmony is actually quite different from the Turkish system in that harmony propagates only [-back] and harmony applies both cyclically and postcyclically.

As a form of control, we taught BSL to a comparator group of talented second-language learners.

The end of large-scale labour recruitment to South Africa appears to have increased internal migration, further encouraged by the political transition in the early 1990s. On the basis of fieldwork among migrants in a poor 'squatter' settlement in the capital, the article shows the economic and symbolic significance of the village in most low-income migrants' aspirations. After analysing the emergence of Lilongwe's low-income residential areas and the general characteristics of contemporary rural-urban migration, the article uses several variables to assess migrants' commitment to their rural areas of origin and to the city. A major finding is that while migration to urban areas rarely results in permanent settlement, the desire to improve the conditions of life in villages frequently leads to periods of residence in town. The significance of the village extends beyond economic considerations, as is demonstrated by the moral issues that witchcraft and funerals evoke in both rural and urban settings. The findings support recent perspectives on urbanism in South-central Africa by cautioning against teleological interpretations of rural-urban migration.

Little work, however, has been done on IF0 in tone languages of Africa, where the tone systems are in certain respects more complex than those found elsewhere. This paper presents new research on four African tone languages which permits several questions concerning IF0 in these languages to be addressed. The central question, whether tone inventory size is a constraining factor on IF0, presupposes that IF0 does indeed exist in tone languages. Reports in the literature that IF0 is reduced or neutralized for Low tone suggest that there may be an IF0 gradient with respect to tone height. Results confirm the existence of IF0 for three of the four languages studied, but also suggest that it may be constrained in some tone languages. Tone inventory size alone, however, does not account for this; rather, the nature of the tone system, and in particular the degree of F 0 modulation used in producing tonal contrasts appears to the primary factor. While IF0 is generally reduced for Low tone, not all of these four languages show the postulated gradient.

Baider has been a professor of French linguistics at the University of Cyprus since 2000. She obtained the first doctorate awarded at the University of Toronto in linguistics and in Women's Studies. Her research focuses on the semantics of word and sentence, in a sociological and feminist approach. Fabienne H. Baider is the author of Hommes galants, femmes Facile (Fidès, 2003), a work which affirms the social and cultural construction of gender and recalls the role of institutions in linguistic use and norms; his recent publications include studies of historical lexicology and linguistic analyzes of literary texts. She is preparing a collection of bilingual English-French articles entitled Invitation au voyage (L'Harmattan, 2003), devoted to questions of identity and otherness as constructed and perceived in tourist discourse. 1. That is to say including the historical documents on which Domingues, George and Caron-Leulliez are working (infra). 2. In fact, from a linguistic point of view, persecution is expressed by the feminine in the expression the witch hunt (and not the witch hunt) to designate the "systematic pursuit of political opponents and in particular to evoke the period of McCarthyism ”(Petit Robert, 2000). We prefer to refer to the masculine to denote intelligence, as well as the expressions: one must not be a sorcerer, "one must not be skilful or skilful" (and no one must not be a witch); there is nothing rocket science, "it is not difficult", he is not a great sorcerer, and so on. Likewise, if the masculine could express the repulsive physical aspect (an old wizard) at the time of Littré, it is nowadays the feminine which symbolizes a deformed physique (an old witch). 3. While 90% of women accused of witchcraft in regions such as Hungary, Denmark and England, 90% of accused in Iceland were male. In France, more than half of the accused before the Paris parliament were men (Briggs, 260-61). In addition, many accusations started with simple arguments between women, very active in building 'bad' reputations using rumor; studies of the province of Lorraine have revealed that 43% of the witnesses at the accused's trials were indeed women (Briggs, 264-65). 4. The thesis of Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English according to which midwives were in particular targeted has been questioned by the work of Purkiss (1996), who would have established the opposite: midwives would have even more helped to track witches rather than being victims and being a licensed midwife reduced her chances of being accused - but who could boast of being a licensed midwife? However, as soon as the first prison reports appeared, the clergy accused women of infanticide who used contraceptives made from medicinal plants or abortive plants. These accusations were part of a formal attack on midwives and healers who still practiced herbal medicine and incantations. It should be noted, as Salah Khan underlines (infra), that the clergy played a preponderant role, because once the crime was in the domain of witchcraft, it no longer fell exclusively under secular jurisdiction; witchcraft was no longer an ordinary crime, but a most serious religious crime.

It introduces the term ‘phono-semantic matching’ (henceforth PSM) to describe the technique whereby a foreignism is reproduced in the target language, using pre-existing native elements that are similar to the foreignism both in meaning and in sound, and it traces its occurrence in two key language groups: () ‘reinvented’ languages, in which language-planners attempt to replace undesirable loanwords e.g., Israeli (a.k.a. ‘Revived Hebrew’ or ‘Modern Hebrew’) and Revolutionized Turkish; and () languages using a “phono-logographic” script e.g., Chinese and Japanese (to the extent that kanji are used). Such multisourced neologization is an ideal means of lexical enrichment because it conceals foreign influence from the future native speakers, ensuring lexicographic acceptability of the coinage, recycles obsolete autochthonous roots and words (a delight for purists) and aids initial learning among contemporary learners and speakers. Linguists have not systematically studied such camouflaged hybridity. Traditional classifications of borrowing ignore it altogether, and categorize borrowing into either substitution or importation. However, as this paper demonstrates, PSM is a distinct phenomenon, which operates through simultaneous substitution and importation. Its recognition carries important implications not only for lexicology and comparative historical linguistics, but also for sociolinguistics and cultural studies.

We audiotaped 43 prenatal genetic counseling sessions and used data-driven, qualitative, sociolinguistic methodologies to investigate how language choices facilitate or hinder the counseling process. Transcripts of each session were prepared for sociolinguistic analysis of the emergent discourse that included studying conversational style, speaker–listener symmetry, directness, and other interactional patterns. Analysis of our data demonstrates that: 1) indirect speech, marked by the use of hints, hedges, and other politeness strategies, facilitates rapport and mitigates the tension between a client-centered relationship and a counselor-driven agenda; 2) direct speech, or speaking literally, is an effective strategy for providing information and education; and 3) confusion exists between the use of indirect speech and the intent to provide nondirective counseling, especially when facilitating client decision-making. Indirect responses to client questions, such as those that include the phrases “some people” or “most people,” helped to maintain counselor neutrality; however, this well-intended indirectness, used to preserve client autonomy, may have obstructed direct explorations of client needs. We argue that the genetic counseling process requires increased flexibility in the use of direct and indirect speech and provide new insights into how “talk” affects the work of genetic counselors. © 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.}, keywords = {Anna De Fina}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Sidnell2001, title = {Conversational turn-taking in a Caribbean English Creole}, author = {Jack Sidnell}, doi = {10.1016/S0378-2166(00)00062-X}, year = {2001}, date = {2001-08-01}, urldate = {2001-08-01}, journal = {Journal of Pragmatics}, volume = {33}, issue = {8}, pages = {1263-1290}, abstract = {Conversations in Caribbean Creole English have been described as ‘contrapuntal’ and ‘anarchic’ (Reisman, 1974a).

Second, as a consequence of left-hand suppression, right-handed pointing may involve an anatomically staining position when indicating a leftward direction across the body. Third, pointing is sometimes performed with both hands together, which does not violate the taboo. Despite the taboo, left-handed pointing is not suppressed fully. Left-handed pointing gestures occur in association with the verbalization of the concept LEFT, suggesting the embodied nature of the concept.

This suggests that the neutral passive has been established in Thai syntax. However, /thùuk/ is ambivalent because it marks both adversative and neutral passives .

This second edition of Introducing Sociolinguistics expertly synthesises the main approaches to the subject. The book covers areas such as multilingualism, code-choice, language variation, dialectology, interactional studies, gender, language contact, language and inequality, and language and power. At the same time it provides an integrated perspective on these themes by examining sociological theories of human interaction. In this regard power and inequality are particularly significant. The book also contains two chapters on the applications of sociolinguistics (in education and in language policy and planning) and a concluding chapter on the sociolinguistics of sign language. New topics covered include speaking style and stylisation, while current debates in areas like creolisation, globalisation and language death, language planning, and gender are reflected. Written collaboratively by teachers and scholars with first hand experience of sociolinguistic developments on four continents, this book provides the broadest introduction currently available to the central topics in sociolinguistics.

The "rights-talk" is spread by, among others, non-governmental organisations that consider "civic education" on rights as one of their major tasks. This article examines the case of Chinyanja in order to highlight challenges in the attempts to translate the rights-talk into vernacular languages. In Chinyanja, "human rights" are translated as ufulu wachibadwidwe wa munthu, literally "the freedom that the person is born with". In the context of persistent poverty and insecurity among many Chinyanja-speakers, such a translation appears to feed reactionary counter-discourses that criticise democracy for bringing "too much freedom". The article discusses theoretical problems in translation, particularly the question of linguistic relativity, and argues that translation is best seen as conversation with existing notions.

Data consist of narratives based on picture sequences, produced in absence of mutual knowledge. Previous studies in L2 acquisition have shown that, at early stages, adult learners' utterances and texts are organized along semantic and pragmatic principles, rather than along structural ones. These principles play a preponderant role in Chinese as well. French shares this tendency with Chinese, insofar as particular utterance patterns—dislocations—mark topic and antitopic. Results show that French children have to acquire the discourse functions related to dislocations. Postbasic-variety adult learners readily use French dislocations to mark—appropriately—a variety of discourse-pragmatic functions. However, the adult learners quite often use forms that deviate from the dislocated form found in target language French.

A categorization experiment was run to determine some of the salient aspects of the perceptual nature of these tones. Since the four tones are well defined with respect to production, we sought to determine whether this characteristic carried over into perception, the expectation being that experimental stimuli, on the basis of pitch height alone, would fall into four reasonably well defined categories. Results showed interesting differences across the four tones, with indications that the two Mid tones, T2 and T3, are perceptually different than the High (T1) and Low (T4) tones. The experiment was run a second time, using a group of native English listeners, to assess to what extent results for the Mambila listeners were determined by the perceptual structure of the Mambila tone system. A Signal Detection analysis was used, which revealed important differences between the two groups of listeners.

These systems act oppositionally as well as cooperatively to produce situated ideas of social inequality, ideas built out of disequilibrium of bodies in space, of referents in language, and distribution of resources, as well as contradictions in the interactions of these signs. The compounding of signs not only recruits multiple sensory modes and perspectives in the exposition of hierarchical relations, but entails a notion of the contradictory nature of status relations. Using examples from a Pohnpeian feast, I explore the creative interplay of sign systems in the construction of "moments" of hierarchy in a large, public setting and discuss how through the practice of title-giving, which virtually every adult member of the society participates in, a particular idea of social inequality, built out of multiple sign systems, is mapped onto each body, [language, interaction, politics, Oceania, social stratification, hierarchy].}, keywords = {Elizabeth Keating}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @book{Duranti2000b, title = {Antropología lingüística (Spanish Edition)}, author = {Alessandro Duranti}, isbn = {8483230925}, year = {2000}, date = {2000-05-25}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, edition = {1st edition}, abstract = {In this innovative textbook, Alessandro Duranti introduces linguistic anthropology as an interdisciplinary field which studies language as a cultural resource and speaking as a cultural practice.

Their presence, together with the settlement of undocumented and legal immigrants from many other countries, constitutes the source of one of the most persistent ideological conflicts in American history: the conflict over immigrants' rights. Official discourses in many cases identify being Hispanic with poor performance at school, drug abuse, poverty and violence. However, aside from mainstream images of who immigrants are, little research has been done on the identity that immigrants themselves build and project, and on the processes that affect the formation of such identity. In this article I investigate identity through discourse analysis, looking specifically at linguistic strategies used by a group of undocumented Mexican immigrants to identify characters in storytelling. I argue that immigrants use ethnic identity as a central identification category for self and others in their stories, showing that ethnic mentions are widespread in story orientations, and that they exhibit different degrees and types of relevance depending on their relationship with the interactional context and/or the story world. Ethnic mentions are used in stories to affirm certain characteristics of one's own identity and of the identity of others via the presentation and evaluation of behaviors. In argumentative stories disputable behaviors are openly attributed to out groups, and so these stories help speakers to build images of who they are and how they stand in relation to others. In stories of personal experience, the connections between identities and behaviors are implicit, but they still respond to socially established expectations. Thus, individual stories also contribute to build those expectations about how belonging to certain ethnic groups may affect action in particular domains of life. The pervasiveness of ethnic identification in immigrant stories cannot be understood without resorting to wider social processes that frame the immigration experience of undocumented Mexican workers. In this case, I stress the importance of the pressure that the ideology of race and ethnicity, enacted through public discourse at all levels, exerts on every individual in American society.}, keywords = {Anna De Fina}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{andJamesLeach2000, title = {Ethnography and the Meta‐Narratives of Modernity}, author = {Harri Englund and James Leach}, doi = {10.1086/300126}, year = {2000}, date = {2000-05-01}, urldate = {2000-05-01}, journal = {Current Anthropology}, volume = {41}, number = {2}, pages = {225-248}, abstract = {Current attempts to increase the relevance of sociocultural anthropology encourage anthropologists to engage in the study of modernity. In this discourse dominated by sociologists, the contribution of anthropology is often to reveal cultural diversity in globalization, leading to the notion of multiple modernities.

This article shows how an underlying meta-narrative preempts social scientific argument by making shifts in analytical scales look natural, as in the alleged need to "situate" the particular in "wider" contexts. This analytical procedure undermines what is unique in the ethnographic method-its reflexivity, which gives subjects authority in determining the contexts of their beliefs and practices. Two ethnographic case studies are presented to support this argument, one from Melanesia on current interests in white people, money, and consumption and the other from Africa on born-again Christianity and individuality.

Whereas the first paradigm, initiated by Boas, was mostly devoted to documentation, grammatical description, and classification (especially of North American indigenous languages) and focused on linguistic relativity, the second paradigm, developed in the 1960s, took advantage of new recording technology and new theoretical insights to examine language use in context, introducing new units of analysis such as the speech event. Although it was meant to be part of anthropology at large, it marked an intellectual separation from the rest of anthropology. The third paradigm, with its focus on identity formation, narrativity, and ideology, constitutes a new attempt to connect with the rest of anthropology by extending linguistic methods to the study of issues previously identified in other (sub)fields. Although each new paradigm has reduced the influence and appeal of the preceding one, all three paradigms persist today, and confrontation of their differences is in the best interest of the discipline.}, keywords = {Alessandro Duranti}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @mastersthesis{Coupe1999, title = {A Phonetic and phonological description of Ao : a language of Nagaland, north-east India}, author = {Alexander Robertson Coupe}, isbn = {9780858835191}, year = {1999}, date = {1999-01-01}, abstract = {The aim of this work is to provide a comprehensive description of the phonetic and phonological features of Ao, a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in the hill state of Nagaland, north-east India. The description is primarily based upon the data of three native speakers, and the language under study is a variety of the Mongsen dialect spoken in Waromung village, situated in the Mokokchung district. This is the first extensive acoustic description of a language belonging to the Kuki-Chin-Naga branch of the Tibeto-Burman family. The study describes the phonotactic structure, phonology, articulatory phonetics, acoustic phonetics and tone system of the Mongsen dialect of Ao, illustrating how instrumental techniques can be used to corroborate and quantify the auditory analysis of an undescribed language. Methodology is described in detail and the findings are correlated with what is known cross-linguistically about aspects of the language being investigated. It is hoped that this work will be of benefit to scholars who wish to write descriptions of related languages and comparativists who are interested in clarifying the genetic relationships holding between the Tibeto-Burman languages of north-east India.

We argue that the reason this kind of change is so common is that the reanalysis involves structural simplification, a kind of change that is preferred by the parameter-setting device, according to Clark and Roberts (1993).

In the last two cases a different kind of simplification is involved the lexical subset principle, which requires lexical items to be interpreted in the smallest set of contexts consistent with the input.

Let me rebut each of these claims in turn. Harry Anslinger was an early and active proponent of a federal war on drugs, and his attacks on Lindesmith were based on his commitment to prosecuting drug users as criminals rather than providing addicts with therapy. My article does not even vaguely imply an endorsement of this policy or the federal war on drugs. As did Lindesmith in his day, I abhor the prosecutorial frenzy embodied in the war on drugs and its transparently repressive, racist, and classist consequences. I favor socially sensitive modalities over strictly medical modalities of addiction treatment and feel that a praxiological understanding of human learning offers sounder theoretical grounding for such modalities than does Lindesmith's exclusively symbolic understanding of human learning.

For example, the judicial proceedings through which native lands passed into the possession of Spanish colonists were held in Spanish, and the archives are rife with cases in which even the notices of the proceedings were served on native Andean communities in Spanish. In modern Peru, Spanish continues to be dominant and Quechua politically subordinate, so much so that Quechua and Spanish speakers alike find it unremarkable and take it for granted.

Results in this study show that L2 learners mark information status from the earliest proficiency level on.

Thus, transitional bien is essentially a contextualization cue since by signalling changes in classroom activities it leads to realignments and redefinitions of the situation by participants. The use of bien in classroom discourse is compared to its use in conversation and similarities and differences are discussed.

Our response will be in part concessionary and in part clarificatory, but there will remain a substantial area of disagreement, where we think that the evidence supports our original position on the status of linguistic knowledge and its implications. We are happy to agree that Christopher is not as cognitively disadvantaged as some of the savants discussed in the literature, and that his non-linguistic abilities make him in certain respects "equivalent to a normal child between 5-10 years of age " (p.4). B uses this observation to argue against our claim that C's case constituted a refutation of the idea that there are 'cognitive prerequisites ' to first language acquisition, suggesting that "the amount and type of cognition required to learn a grammar cannot be more than... 1.5 [to] 3 years of age " (ibid). Further, B argues that the dissociation Christopher manifests between language and visuo-spatial cognition has no implications for innateness or modularity, but may lend support to a modularisation hypothesis (a la Karmiloff-Smith, 1992). This latter possibility in particular is claimed to be more compatible with what is known about brain plasticity than an approach based on modularity of the kind made famous by Fodor (1983).

Elder nonaccommodation was when young participants reported that older people negatively stereotyped the young and did not attend to their communication needs. On the other hand, elder accommodation was when older people were perceived as supportive, attentive and generally encouraging to young people. A third factor was respect/obligation and a fourth factor labeled age-irrelevant positivity described a situation where young people felt conversations with much older people were emotionally positive and satisfying, age did not matter. Examining cross-cultural differences, some East versus West differences were observed, as might be expected, on the basis of simplistic accounts of Eastern collectivism versus Western individualism. However, the results challenge commonsense notions of the status of old age in Eastern versus Western cultures. On some dimensions, participants from Korea, Japan, People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, and the Philippines appear to have relatively less positive perceptions of their conversations with older people than the Western cultures−the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

Bodomo of the University of Hong Kong This is a submission on the Dagaare language of northern Ghana. This submission is based on the introductory chapter of my book: Bodomo, A. B. 1997. The Structure of Dagaare. Stanford Monographs in African Languages. CSLI publications. 159 pages Amazon: ISBN 1-57586-077-5 Introduction The Dagaare language and its speakers A. Geographical spread and Genetic classification Dagaare is the major language of the north-western parts of Ghana and adjoining areas of Burkina Faso. The area being delineated is between latitudes 9o N and 1 lo N and longitudes 2o W and 3o W. This area covers the Upper- West Region and parts of the Northern Region of Ghana. Other speech forms closely related to Dagaare areWaale and Birifor. In fact, they constitute a dialect continuum of varying degrees of mutual intelligibility. The Dagaare-Waale-Birifor linguistic continuum is sometimes lumped together as one language in this part of the country. This group is bordered to the east by the Sisaala language and to the south by Gonja, Vagla and Safaliba. To the west and north, this dialect continuum extends across the Black Volta and the international boundary into Burkina Faso where variants of this linguistic group are spoken in and around towns like Dano, Diebougou, Dissin and Gaoua. The major towns covered by the linguistic group in Ghana are Wa, Lawra, Jirapa, Nandom, Hamile, Nadawli, Kaleo, Daffiama; and Tuna. It must be realised, however, that Dagaare is not limited to this traditional homeland as has been described above. The language has spread to many parts of Ghana because of the high degree of social and geographical mobility of the people who speak Dagaare as a native language, among other reasons. Today, thereare important Dagaare speaking communities in Accra, Kumasi and most major towns and villages throughout Ghana. Genetically, Dagaare has been classified as a member of theOti- Volta group of the Gur branch of the Niger-Congo language family (Swadesh 1966, Bendor-Samuel 1971:144, Naden 1989). Dagaare' s immediate geographical neighbours are not its immediate genetic relatives, for most of the languages very much related to it like Moore, Gurenne (Frafra) and Dagbane are found in the Upper-East and Northern Regions. Accurate and up-to-date census figures are hardly readily available but the number of native speakers of Dagaare in both Ghana and Burkina Faso may be put at more than one million speakers. In terms of native speakers, Dagaare may be the fourth largest indigenous language of Ghana after Akan, Ewe and Dagbane.genetic classification:Niger-Congo language family: Gur branch: Oti-Volta: Mabia It has been the principal language of evangelisation in north-western Ghana since the advent of the missionaries in the colonial era. In present-day language policy, Dagaare occupies a considerably important position. It is one of the nine official literacy languages of Ghana and it is increasingly being used in many national institutions . As a result the Bureau of Ghana languages publishes educational material in it. Dagaare is taught and offered for degree courses in the country's higher institutions such as the University of Ghana, Accra and the University College ofWinneba. In addition, courses will, presumably, be started at the new University for Development Studies, Tamale, in the near future. Further, it is broadcast over the Ura FM radio, which serves the three regions in Northern Ghana. The People Native speakers of Dagaare call themselves Dagaaba (singular: Dagao). The term "Dagarti" has been used by non-natives, but is certainly an anglo-misnomer and not favoured by most Dagaaba. Goody (1967) gives the following terms to describe Dagaaba: White LoDagaa (LoPiel) - far northwest Black LoDagaba or Black Dagaare (Losaala - both sides of the border near Lawra, on the Burkina Faso side it is also called Dagari-Fi, Soghole). Nura, Loberu, Lobiri - Lawra district. Lowiile (Oule, Wile, Wuile) or Red Dagaare - Birifu-Babile- Tugu areas and on opposite side of the border. Dagaa Wiile (Oule) - Jirapa southwards These are, however, largely ethnographic designations and not linguistic. Moreover, they seem to be out-of-date, for most native speakers ofDagaare now prefer to use the following terms to describe themselves, their language and their land: Dagaare - the language Dagao - a person who speaks native Dagaare Dagaaba - people who speak native Dagaare Dagao (or Dagawie, Dagapaalong) - the homeland of the Dagaaba In Burkina Faso and the northern border areas the corresponding terms are: Dagara - for both the language and a person or people who speak it Dagarateng - homeland of the Dagara speakers People who speak the Waale and Birifor dialects call themselves Waala and Birifor respectively. The migration history of the Dagaaba is most uncertain. The reader is referred to Tuurey (1982), Herbert (1976) and other historical analyses on the Dagaaba. In a nutshell, however, the general discussion points to the fact that the ancestors of the Dagaaba are a splinter group from either the Mossi or the Dagomba or both who moved into the present area and assimilated (or got assimilated by) earlier settlers and/ or new arrivals. political system As has been shown elsewhere (seeBodomo 1994), however, it seems that rather than saying that the Dagaaba are a splinter group from the Mossi or the Dagomba, it is more plausible to say that the Dagaaba, the Mossi, the Dagomba, the Kusaasi, the Frafra, the Mamprusi and many others are all direcdy descended from a common ancestor enthnolinguistic group, the Mabia. Politically, the Dagaaba have evolved a highly decentralised traditional system of government. This has been inappropriately described as acephalous, suggesting a weak and incohesive structure in the absence of a central authority. Unlike the highly centralised systems of government found among some ethnic groups in Ghana and other parts of Africa where a distant monarch may appoint representatives to various towns and villages and exercise control from a central headquarters, everyDagaare village or group of villages is virtually autonomous as far as the day to day administration of natural resources are concerned. TheTindana (owner of the land) is the religious cum political head at this level. In consultation with a council of elders, who are family heads in their own right, the Tindana promulgates and administers law and order affecting cultural, religious, economic and all forms of social practices in the area under his jurisdiction. However, in matters of defence and foreign policy, especially under crises such as death, matrimonial troubles, and, in particular, the threat of invasion from other groups, the Tindana and council of elders can easily exploit the highly sophisticated interlinking of clans throughout Dagao and raise a team of negotiators or a viable army, if necessary, to manage the situation. The British policy of Indirect Rule between 1890 and 1957 has, however, substantially altered this decentralised political system and Dagaaba are now organised into various paramountcies or chiefdoms. At the head of each paramountcy is a Naa who exercises authority over divisional chiefs. Prior to the advent of colonial rule political decentralisation was a democratic system of government that worked for the Dagaaba and since political decentralisation is now a democratic goal in many parts of Africa and beyond, a closer study of the Dagaaba traditional system of government may be a worthwhile exercise in the search for an appropriate democracy. In economic terms, the Dagaare-speaking population is heavily agrarian. Practically each family deals in at least some sort of subsistence farming. The major crops are millet, corn,guineacorn, beans and sheanuts. They also rear cattle, goats, sheep and fowls. Farming is so central to the economy of Dagao that more and more people migrate southwards in search of better lands. It is fashionable for adolescent Dagaaba to move down south in the dry season to farm for money and the success of their first trip has become more or less a yardstick for measuring their growth to manhood and their ability to live independently and raise a family. But here again, present day trends show a diversification away from a heavily agricultural preoccupation to other fields of economic activity. Non-literate adolescents going down south to work can opt for the mining industry and go to towns like Obuasi, Tarkwa and Prestea or to other industrial urban centres like Accra and Kumasi to work in the factories and other business establishments as labourers, watchmen and in other low income jobs. Further, more and more Dagaaba, especially the women, are beginning to emulate their Waala brethren (who are successful traders and businessmen) and are going into the distributive sector. But more important, with the advent of Western education, Dagaaba, who consider their ethnic group to be one of the most highly educated in the country, can be found in the tertiary sector as teachers, nurses, administrators and other officers in the Civil Service and business corporations. At the cultural level, among the most conspicuous cultural manifestations are the eating of their traditional staple food, saabo (or T. Z., which is an abbreviation from, tuo zaafi, the Hausa name for the same food ) and the drinking of their traditional alcoholic beverage daazeE (or pito, a borrowing from fitoo, the Hausa word for the same drink); the wearing of the smock, dagakparoo, the playing of xylophones, gyile, and drumming and dancing, especially the bawa dance. In the major towns and villages in Dagao and also in Dagaaba communities in other towns, in the evenings, at the weekends and on public holidays, the stranger will not fail to notice that most young men and women find their way into pito bars. Drinking pito is a favourite leisure time activity and source of entertainment in Dagao! dialects of Dagaare B. The Dialects of Dagaare The Dagaare-Waale-Birifor linguistic group seems to present one of the most complex dialect situations in Ghana. From north to south (and to a lesser extent east to west) the dialects shade gradually into each other and it is almost impossible to draw a line of demarcation between different dialects. Variation can occur even from village to village. However, one common thing that binds all these groups together is that there is at least some amount of mutual intelligibility within the group. That is why, from a purely linguistic point of view, Dagaare, Waale and Birifor should not be viewed as separate languages but as variants of one language. How then does one demarcate this continuum into discrete dialect areas? A way of approaching the problem is to apply one theory of linguistic variation which claims that certain (prestige) settlements (in our case the major towns of the area) are centres from which linguistic innovations spread to their individual areas of influence and may overlap each other. Using the major towns in the research area as the centres of linguistic innovations or focal points, seven subdialects may be set up (see Bodomo 1989). Further, taking into consideration prominent phonological, lexical and grammatical variations, four main dialects may be abstracted and named Northern Dagaare, Central Dagaare, Southern Dagaare and Western Dagaare. Northern Dagaare, which is also known as Dagara, comprises Nandom, Lawra and their areas of influence. A greater number of the speakers of this dialect group live in Burkina Faso. From the data, Nandom and Lawra share common linguistic features that are generally distinct from the other major dialect groups. Most of the linguistic analyses of this group of Dagaare have been undertaken by French and Francophone African linguists in Burkina Faso. The next group is Central Dagaare which is made up of Jirapa, Ullo, Daffiama, Nadawli and their spheres of influence. This group is so called because it occupies approximately the middle parts of the traditional homeland of the Dagaaba from North to South, and it enjoys a considerable degree of intelligibility from speakers of other dialects. Probably because of this, most of the early missionary linguists who have worked on Dagaare in Ghana like Wilson (1962), Kennedy (1966) and Hall (1973) have based their analyses on it. It is the version of Dagaare used for publishing church literature, educational material and general public broadcasting because of its relatively high intelligibility with the northern and southern dialects. Southern Dagaare is the dialect of Kaleo, metropolitan Wa and their surrounding villages. Again, Kaleo and Wa share more common features than with all the others. If the Central dialect is the language of literacy, Southern Dagaare, especially that spoken in the Regional Capital called Waale, is the trade language and is widely spoken in markets and other trading centres. The other dialect group represented by Tuna is called Birif or. Birifor shares affinities with Waale (e.g. absence of the phoneme, /z/ ) and especially Northern Dagaare. A greater concentration of this dialect is also found on the western side of the Black Volta river in Burkina Faso and Cote d'lvoire. It is only quite recentiy that speakers of Birifor moved into the area south of Wa. Dakubu (personal communication) suggests that it be called Western Dagaare because its traditional homeland is at the western side of the Black Volta river. It would be worthwhile here to note other interesting divisions and treatments of the dialects in this linguistic group. Rattray (1932) draws up word lists showing differences in speech of the "Dagaba" speakers from place to place. This could also be of interest to people doing a study of dialects from a temporal point of view (diachronic dialectology) because his work is the earliest published ( at least, on the Ghana side of the international border) giving word lists portraying dialect variation in Dagaare. Callow's (1969) article is the first devoted solely to the study of dialects of Dagaare and therefore gives important information about dialect variation. Delplangue's (1983) "Phonologie Trans formationelle duDagara", even though not a work on dialect variation, gives an interesting division of Dagara (Dagaare) into three dialects (following Girault's classification): Lobr spoken in the North-East (towns of Ouessa, Dissin in Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso), towns of Nandom, Lawra, Babile in Ghana) Dagaari-wiile spoken in the Northwest and Centre (towns of Dano and Legmoin in Upper Volta, Jirapa, Sabuli, Dorimon in Ghana) Birifor spoken to the west and south (towns of Diebougou, Batie in Upper Volta and Sawla, Bole in Ghana). Commonly attached to Dagara, from the linguistic point of view. (ppl7-18) His Lobr and Birifor fit perfecdy into our Northern Dagaare and Western Dagaare respectively, while his Dagaari-wiile, according to our classification, is too broad. It would comprise our Central and Southern Dagaare. As he pointed out himself, each of these groups could further be divided into subdialects upon a more systematic linguistic study. The Dagaare Language Committee's (1982) guide divides Dagaare into Northern, Central, Mid-Central and Southern Dagaare and gives word lists showing pronunciation differences of some lexical items. This division, however, does not include Waale and Birifor. Their "Northern Dagaare" is exactly our Northern Dagaare, their "Central Dagaare" and "Mid-Central Dagaare" is our Central Dagaare, their "Southern Dagaare" does not include Waale while ours does. They do not have a corresponding division for our Western Dagaare. Finally, various other bits of information on the dialects and their names and designations could be acquired from most of the works on general Dagaare linguistic analyses. Conclusion This introduction has sought to provide basic information about the geographical location of the Dagaare language, its genetic relationship and its sociolinguistic profile.

In this paper, I draw upon the notion of social problems work to provide for the practical dynamics whereby members, in effect, animate the categorical objects that they presume to populate their worlds. More than enacting identifiable objects of social problems discourse, social problems work at times actually realizes these objects as causally influential non-human agents, such that one may find members interacting with these objects much as they do with one another in the ongoing production of local affairs.

We motivate an analysis of both systems which treats them as base-generated syntactic affixes in Agr. Hence these clitics are not in fact pronouns, that is, XPs. Our central theoretical claim is that this type of clitic system is non-trivially connected to the (full or residual) VSO nature of the languages in question. Adopting and adapting a proposal for English auxiliaries in Chomsky (1993), we propose that weak/clitic pronouns must check features with an Agr head with strong nominal features. However, we argue that the nature of VSO systems is such that Agr heads with strong features are largely absent. It follows that weak/clitic pronouns cannot be licensed in a VSO system. The functional role of such pronouns – which we will argue to involve licensing pro – is then carried by the Agr heads themselves. We thus tie together two apparently unrelated properties of these languages, namely word order and the nature of the clitic system. We also explain the pervasiveness of agreement marking that these languages show; where a Romance or Germanic language has a pronoun, these languages have agreement, hence it is not a surprise to find agreeing prepositions, for example. Moreover, the apparent preference for enclisis that these languages show is a consequence, in our terms, of the fact that the apparent clitics are really affixes; enclisis thus follows from the Right-Hand Head Rule (Williams 1981b).}, keywords = {Ian Roberts}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Biagini1996b, title = {James Vernon, Politics and the People: A Study in English Political Culture, c. 1815–1867.

It is claimed that although in the single-sex conversation, the sexes display different politeness preferences (the men giving precedence to negative politeness strategies, the women to positive politeness strategies), the relative absence of such differences in the mixed-sex conversations is evidence of the ability of each sex to accommodate to the other's sextyped norms.

Probably helped by Roman Jakobson's suggestion of a" phatic function" of language (1960: 355), the term has grown in popularity among sociolinguistically and pragmatically oriented linguists; an overview of the state of the discussion has been recently given by Pavlidou (in press).

Much less controversy has accompanied the growing use of “early modern”, a term which seems set to displace “precolonial” in periodizing Southeast Asian history. The phrase, of course, comes from scholarship on Europe, where it was popularized as a result of efforts to find shared “periods” that would facilitate the writing of a general history. It would be surprising if questions as to the applicability of “early modern” in Southeast Asia do not spark off some debate, especially in light of subaltern writings that reject the notion of modernity as a universal. For such historians the very invocation of the word implicitly sets a “modern Europe” against a “yet to be modernized non-Europe”. But whatever decision is made regarding terminology, scholarship on Southeast Asia is increasingly viewing a period that stretches from about the fifteenth to the early nineteenth century as rather different from those traditionally described as “classical” and “colonial/modern”.

As yet, however, little research has been undertaken on the pre-modern period. This paper examines the development of the pepper trade in Sumatra during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and explores the manner in which this new cash crop affected the position of women. Prior to the introduction of pepper, females dominated horticulture and local marketing. Initially pepper was incorporated into household gardens, but increased production made its growing and marketing less easily allied with domestic tasks. The arrival of Europeans accelerated the process whereby control of pepper resources fell into male hands, both local and foreign. Declining prices meant pepper's popularity declined, but the Dutch and English East India Companies still tried to persuade local rulers to enforce cultivation. On the east coast of Sumatra the pepper areas were far from coastal centers of control, and compulsion proved impossible. On the west coast, however, the pepper districts were closer to English posts, and the changes brought about by forced cultivation were therefore more far reaching. Women were particularly affected, since Europeans saw plantation agriculture as a male preserve, with females occupying a secondary position. Growing local resistance to pepper growing is normally attributed to the low returns it offered from the mid seventeenth century onwards. As a case study, this paper suggests that another element was the cultural disruption that European policies introduced, and especially the effects on the traditional roles of women in the domestic economy.}, keywords = {Barbara Watson Andaya}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @book{Omar1995, title = {Rekonstruksi Fonologi Bahasa Melayu Induk (Siri Monograf Sejarah Bahasa Melayu)}, author = {Asmah Haji Omar}, isbn = {9789836287403}, year = {1995}, date = {1995-01-01}, publisher = {Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka}, keywords = {Asmah Haji Omar}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {book} } @book{Omar1995b, title = {Rekonstruksi Kata Dalam Bahasa Melayu Induk (Siri Monograf Sejarah Bahasa Melayu)}, author = {Asmah Haji Omar}, isbn = {9789836245472}, year = {1995}, date = {1995-01-01}, publisher = {Dewan Bahasa give Pustaka}, keywords = {Asmah Haji Omar}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {book} } @article{Connell1995, title = {The historical development of Lower Cross consonants}, author = {Bruce Connell}, doi = {10.1515/jall.1995.16.1.41}, year = {1995}, date = {1995-01-01}, journal = {Journal of African Languages and Linguistics}, volume = {16}, number = {1}, pages = {41-70}, abstract = {This paper presents a reconstruction of the consonant System of Proto-Lower Cross and examines the development of this parent System into those of the various present-day Lower Cross languages.

The book under review is an example of such a study, applying Brown and Levinson’s (1978) politeness theory to a comparison of social interaction in England and Greece. Discussing a wide range of linguistic and pragmatic characteristics of English and Greek, the author finds that Greeks tend to use more ‘positive’politeness (expressions of friendliness and solidarity) than the English, who are more oriented toward the ‘negative’type (mitigation of impositions, expressions of formality).

Building on previous work which had established both the range of languages at Christopher's command and the extent to which his linguistic knowledge was integrated into his cognitive ability, we taught him two new languages for which we controlled the input. We had two main aims: the first was to test the hypothesis (within one version of the Principles and Parameters framework) that parameter resetting is not an option available to the second language learner; the second was to accrue further evidence for or against Fodor's modularity hypothesis and cast light on the possible range of interactions between linguistic and ‘central’ cognitive processes. The languages chosen were Berber, an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in North Africa, and Epun, an invented language deliberately devised to contain constructions which violated universal grammatical principles. In Christopher's acquisition of Berber we gleaned evidence from a variety of phenomena, including word order, null subjects, that-trace effects, wh-island violations and cliticisation, that his learning was conditioned by a combination of transfer effects from English and principles of UG, rather than by the effect of parameter resetting. In Christopher's acquisition of Epun we began with a core of ‘normal’ constructions, designed to make him feel at home in the new language, and then proceeded to investigate a range of impossible constructions, both structure-dependent and structure-independent. In the former case, we concentrated on negative sentences, constructed with no overt negative morpheme, and past-tense sentences which involve unattested and putatively impossible word-order differences. In the latter case, we concentrated on a rule of emphasis that involved counting words, and a form of agreement which again violated putatively universal generalisations. In each case we compared Christopher's performance with that of a small group of controls.

With data from Dagaare and closest relatives, a structural definition for SVCs is developed (two or more lexical verbs that share grammatical categories within a clause), establishing SVCs as complex predicates. Based on syntactic theories, a formal phrase structure is adapted for representation of SVCs, interpreting each as a product of a series of VP adjunctions. Within this new, non-derivational, pro-expansionary approach to grammar, several principles are developed to license grammatical information flow and verbal ordering priority. Based on semantic theories, a functional account of SVCs is developed: that the actions represented by the verbs in the SVC together express a single, complex event. A new model of event structure for all constructional transitions is proposed, and it is illustrated how two types of these transitions, West African SVCs and Scandinavian small clause constructions (SCCs), conform to this proposed event structure. Further, SVCs and SCCs are used to propose a parameter of variation between serializing and non-serializing languages. A survey of the general structure of the Mabia languages is also presented.

Various British and North American studies using the basic principles of the “matched-guise” technique—a method designed to measure rather private and uncensored attitudes—conclude that standard varieties of English usually connote high status and competence whereas regional non-standard varieties may be seen to reflect greater integrity and attractiveness. Socially conditioned nonstandard varieties are often evaluated most negatively.In the present study 212 informants with different age, sex, social class, linguistic background and place of residence listened to seven voices representing different social groups (four regional varieties from Jutland, Funen and Bornholm, high and low variety of Copenhagen-speech and Standard Danish) and evaluated the quality of the language and the competence, status and social attractiveness of the speaker regarding various dimensions.The results indicated the existence of a hierarchical social structure in Danish society somewhat similar to the one found in many British and North American studies. The speaker of Standard Danish was generally evaluated positively in most dimensions whereas regional non-standard varieties were often seen as more socially attractive. The socially conditioned non-standard speaker had a more negative evaluation in most dimensions. Only the place of residence of informants had a significant impact on their evaluations.

The pattern of results obtained indicate that he is not acquiring a ‘first’ language several times over, but it remains for future investigation to determine how characteristic of normal second-language learners his acquisition is. We also tentatively interpret his performance in Greek as evidence in favour of the claim that the phenomena associated with the pro-drop parameter do constitute a natural class, and specifically provide support for Rizzi's revision of the parameter in terms of relativised minimality.

For our central thesis is that there was a substantial continuity in popular radicalism throughout the nineteenth and into the twentieth century, and as a result the essays stress both the popular elements in Gladstonian Liberalism and the radical liberal elements in the early Labour party. The continuity between Chartism and Liberalism has not gone unrecognised in the previous literature on the subject of radicalism itself, but the insight has had only a limited impact on more general approaches to the study of the popular politics of the period. Perhaps this can be explained, at least in part, by the fact that many of the major contributions to the history of mid-nineteenth-century British radicalism have come from American scholars.

Recently, with the upsurge of studies of language attitudes, researchers have become interested in establishing to what extent bilinguals' perceptions of ‘language mixing’ have an impact on the process of language maintenance or language shift (see e.g. Chana and Romaine's 1984 study of the attitudes to mixing of Panjabi English bilinguals in Britain). That is, does the perceived linguistic quality — pure or mixed — of the ethnic language affect its status, usefulness and so on with respect to English? I will explore this issue in relation to Dutch in Australia.}, keywords = {Anne Pauwels}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Pauwels1991bb, title = {Gender differences in Australian English}, author = {Anne Pauwels}, editor = {Suzanne Romaine}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511620881.024}, year = {1991}, date = {1991-01-01}, volume = {3}, pages = {318-326}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press Cambridge}, abstract = {Prior to the emergence of'feminist linguistics' in the mid-1970s the exploration of the differences in linguistic behaviour of the sexes had featured primarily in anthropological and later in sociolinguistic studies.

While the basic effects of such factors as declination, downdrift, and downstep, among other influences, are now reasonably well understood, it is nevertheless fair to say that considerable work yet remains to be done in this area. There is also increasing interest in the relation between language and music. This issue has been approached from different perspectives, ranging from the neuropsychological to the structural. A number of studies involving tone languages have focussed on the relation between speech melody and song melody, with a basic assumption being that, presumably in order to maintain comprehensibility, song melody is subservient to that of speech (e.g. Jones, 1959). Blacking (1967) shows that in certain forms of Venda song, but not all, this is indeed the case. Leben (1983) argues that a more sophisticated analysis, one that takes into account downtrends as well as lexical tone is necessary to understand the relation between tone and tune in Hausa, and Agawu (1988) has challenge the general view arguing that, at least in Ewe, music is much less constrained by speech than studies on other languages have suggested. Mambila, a Bantoid language with four level lexical tones, presents an excellent test case for exploring the possible effects of song on linguistic tone. A number of phonetic studies of have been conducted which have revealed that pitch realization in this language appears tightly constrained, and it has been argued that this suggests F0 values for individual tones in Mambila are fairly narrowly specified. The present study focusses on pitch realization in a Mambila beer song, as performed by a native speaker of Mambila who was also a participant in several phonetic studies. The paper presents an initial view of the interaction between speech melody and song melody in Mambila through comparison of his productions in speech and song, with respect to overall pitch range used, scaling of individual tones, and the influence of adjacent tones on each other. The results of the investigation, more than simply of interest in their own right, in contributing to the debate outlined above also allow for more general conclusions to be drawn concerning the relation between language and music.}, keywords = {Bruce Connell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Haberland1988, title = {Research policy}, author = {Hartmut Haberland}, year = {1988}, date = {1988-01-01}, urldate = {1988-01-01}, journal = {Sociolinguistics: an International Handbook of the Science of Language and Society}, pages = {1814 - 1826}, keywords = {Hartmut Haberland}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Mannheim1988b, title = {The sound must seem an echo to the sense: Some cultural determinants of language change in Southern Peruvian Quechua}, author = {Bruce Mannheim}, year = {1988}, date = {1988-01-01}, urldate = {1988-01-01}, journal = {Michigan Discussions in Anthropology}, volume = {8}, pages = {175 - 191}, keywords = {Bruce Mannheim}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Biagini1987, title = {British Trade Unions and Popular Political Economy}, author = {Eugenio Biagini}, doi = {10.1017/S0018246X00022330}, year = {1987}, date = {1987-12-01}, urldate = {1987-12-01}, journal = {The Historical Journal}, volume = {30}, number = {4}, pages = {811 - 840}, abstract = {This paper is a study of the relationship between economic culture and trade union economic subculture during the years in which both the Victorian trade union movement and the classical economists' view of it reached their maturity.

The Webbs, and a historiographic tradition since them, maintained that these results were obtained at the price of a complete submission to the ideological hegemony of the bourgeoisie. In the 1960s R. V. Clements challenged this view and argued that such a subordination had never taken place, and that trade unionists had managed to keep their independent views – especially at the level of economic thought. Recent discussions have been content to stress the sound and ‘aseptic’ pragmatism of the working men, and the abstruse dogmatism of the economists. A footnote quoting Clements' article seems to be all that readers can reasonably ask for. The possibility of an alternative interpretation – namely, that classical economics could actually be useful to trade union strategies and interests – has not yet been sufficiently considered.

Four research modules were combined: module A focused on external language policy expectations; B on organizational-hierarchical internal rules; C on text production, and D on quality control follow-up communication (2). The synthesis of the results of the four modules shows that policy makers, management, chief editors, and journalists turn out to have very different views of what public broadcasting should be and what language has to do with that (3). Four possible frames for the interpretation of these results will be discussed: the consonance / dissonance frame, the hypocrisy frame, the functional dysfunction frame, and the hidden knowledge frame (4).

Among the many qualities in Thomas which we will miss, one of the most prominent was his openness of mind. His willingness to always consider new angles and to reconsider so-called established facts and truth was unusual. Five minutes after my first encounter with Thomas in 1974, I (Jens) found myself having moved from a discussion of modern formal semantics, via the medieval doctrine of supposition, on to theoretical psychics. Also, Thomas’ ambitious endeavor towards a grand synthesis, incorporating linguistic and nonlinguistic elements will be missed as something very much needed in our age of increasing fragmentation of knowledge. It is a great pity, too, that the work which Thomas and his wife, Waltraud Brennenstuhl, were doing on the lexical semantics of German could not be finished. We can only hope that some way will be found to help Waltraud to bring out the results of their efforts. It is also greatly to be deplored that apparently no space could be found within the German academic community for a man of Thomas Ballmer’s character and creative breadth.

The slots in which each of these elements are likely to appear in a sentence are multiple . So are the possibilities of linking them with conditional markers like sapos , if etc . , or time delimiters like taem , t umo ro, a s tede etc . In many cases , a combination of time delimiters and conditional markers is used in conjunction with bae markers . In other cases bae markers stand on their own in the sentences . Some speakers (the old ones particularly) tend not to use the bae markers on a regular basis; in their speech , bae markers appear to be in free variation with ¢ when the sentence is fronted by a time delimiter marker , or a conditional marker ; or in free variation with prepositions marking the passage of time ( i .e. den , b i haen ) ; or simply the value of the absent bae marker is conveyed by the context . In this paper ! we shall look how the bae markers are incorporated in the speech of many speakers of Solomons Pijin, young and old , men and women, and for whom the Pi jin is either a second language or a mother tongue . We shall study the behaviour of the bae markers in an historical perspective to focus finally on their behaviour in contemporary Pijin, particularly in the speech of urban Pijin speakers . We shall try at the same time to assess the influences of creolisation or substratum languages, if any , on such a lingui stic device . The main claim in this paper will be that insofar as bae markers are concerned , nativisation does not seem to be the discriminant factor of change , as the main heuristic criterion is the opposition between main language and secondary language , rather than the traditional opposition between mother tongue and second language . I will argue that it is not necessary for a pidgin to become nativised to undergo changes linked to its functions as main language of an urban community , and therefore to become creolised : hence the impact of nativisation need only be minimal . A pidgin becomes a creole not because it has acquired native speakers, but because both the traditional contexts of use and the traditional sociolinguistic position of its speakers have changed . Nativisation is not a causal factor of creolisation . It is only one of many aspects that creolisation takes, and if we want to push the idea further , nativisation is only one of the results of pre-existing ' creolicity '. This study will show, as well , that so far as bae markers are concerned , there is more continuity between the speech or urban speakers of Pijin for whom it is a mother tongue and the speech of urban speakers of Pij in for whom it is a second language , than there is continuity between the speech of urban speakers of Pijin as a second language and the speech of rural speakers of Pij in as a second language . We shall see as well that nativisation of the language does not seem to affect as yet the position of bae markers in the sentences or the frequency of redundant constructions employing bae markers with conditional markers and time delimiters. }, keywords = {Christine Jourdan}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Williams1985, title = {Europe's minority voices}, author = {Collin Williams}, doi = {10.1080/01434632.1985.9994215}, year = {1985}, date = {1985-01-01}, journal = {Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development}, volume = {6}, number = {5}, pages = {413-416}, abstract = {These are heady days for European politics.

Attempts to challenge this arrangement through state and private incursions lead to reactive ethnic assertion. The nature of ethnic assertion varies over time and space. The chapter presents the case studies in which it was evident that language promotion was not a mere cultural attachment, but a rational and instrumental attempt to reduce the socio-economic inequality, to wrest more power from the state and opposition groups, and to determine an increasing amount of the ethnic group's role in the wider political structure.

Their function can be understood if we take the notion of ‘social meaning’ into consideration. On the basis of extensive use of transcripts of spontaneous conversations, it is here suggested that Italian subject pronouns are devices through which speakers define main characters in a narrative and/or convey empathy or positive affect toward certain referents. Inanimate objects, minor characters and people with whom the speaker is displaying lack of empathy or negative affect are instead often referred to by demonstratives. On the basis of this analysis, the allegedly inappropriate use of personal pronouns such as ‘lui’ in formal written registers is explained as a feature of objective ‘scientific’ style, which should not convey or reveal the author's feelings toward a given referent.}, keywords = {Alessandro Duranti}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Gupta1984c, title = {Revolution in Telengana (1946-65).

(In truth, despite some clear disagreement, there was remarkably little debate at the time or later.) For weeks, this overtly eugenicist programme was pushed hard in newspapers, on television and in a specially published book (Wong 1984), in support of the sudden reversal of the government's population policy from generalised anti-natalism to a highly selective pro-natalism. Having myself moved into social science from an undergraduate degree in biology, I was dismayed at the serious misunderstanding of elementary population genetics displayed by the various 'experts' who had been called upon to provide a scientific rationale for the new population policy. My seminar was aimed at correcting this, by mounting a biology-based critique of the biologism that underlay the policy. For years, these notes have borne the warning NOT FOR CIRCULATION WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR. I present them now (with the warning removed, but still in the 'ethnographic present') for whatever historical relevance they may have to social-science studies of Singapore. However, I claim no significant original contribution: the text simply reports what qualified researchers had already been saying. Their findings could – and should – have been more widely circulated in Singapore at the time. In several respects, of course, the notes are now out of date. First, much more is known about human genetics than in 1984 (although the genetics of human intelligence remains obscure). No account is taken of this important new material in the References, but I have added a few more recent references in the footnotes. Second, the eugenic underpinning of Singapore's continuing pronatalist policies has mostly been quietly dropped. Third, those policies have had no significant long-term effect on the demographic 'problems' they were intended to remedy. Fourth – and this is hardly a surprise! – the population of Singapore has shown no sign of suffering the feared loss of intelligence. (At the time of the Great Marriage Debate, it was seriously suggested that if the breeding pattern did not change for the better, the local university would run out of bright-enough students, and might have to close down.) For authoritative sociological analyses of the background to Singapore's eugenicist policies, the following later studies by Singaporean scholars are especially valuable: Heng, Geraldine & Janadas Devan. 1995.

These conjunctures have considerable relevance today. Differences in vocabulary and ideological justification have obscured the continuity between colonial and modern language policy. The issues debated, the limits of the alternatives proposed as solutions, and even the practical efforts carried out on behalf of alternative policies, have been surprisingly perdurable.

One of these is the self-confidence with which Malays have always greeted external influences, an attribute undoubtedly arising from their long and persistent contact with the outside world. From about the beginning of the Christian era, Malays living on both sides of the Melaka Straits were witness to a growing international seaborne traffic passing through this narrow waterway, which linked India, the Middle East and Europe on the one hand, and Japan, Korea and China on the other. Taking advantage of their ideal location on the Straits, the Malays became active participants in this international trade and were able to develop successful entrepôts which formed the basis of some of the earliest and most influential maritime powers in Southeast Asia. The most impressive of the early kingdoms was Srivijaya, whose traditions were continued in an almost unbroken line to Melaka, Johor and Riau. They were noted not only for their flourishing entrepôt trade but also for their patronage of religion, the medium for many of the intellectual trends in the world beyond the Straits.

Without an acknowledged overlord, individual states now had greater freedom in seeking their own political and economic goals. To nineteenth-century observers, however, a situation where various rulers were attempting to assert their independence or supremacy appeared ‘chaotic’ and symptomatic of the ‘decay’ besetting the Malay world. It was therefore with the claim of ‘restoring order’ to the area that the British came to justify their intervention in Malay affairs.

He is understandably less interested in the historical continuities which, despite the overriding sense of change, can still be discerned. The very readiness of Malay rulers to establish links with British officials in Singapore and Penang was in keeping with previous Malay diplomacy. Like the Dutch and Portuguese, the British simply represented a new and powerful element whose friendship was desirable. Nor was Singapore’s commercial success unprecedented. In the tradition of earlier entrepôts such as Melaka and Johor, its prosperity owed much to its unrivalled geographic position, to which was added the attraction of free trade in an age when tariffs and protection were almost universal. The initial acceptance of the British was also aided by the fact that the areas involved — Penang, Singapore, Province Wellesley and Melaka — had not been forcibly taken from any Malay power and at least the trappings of legality surrounded their transfer.

There is a consequent inclination to consider the centuries before 1400 — the ‘pre-Melakan period’ — as being of relatively little importance in the evolution of modern Malaysia. But Melaka’s rise from a quiet fishing village to a world-renowned emporium and centre of Malay culture cannot be explained unless one realizes that behind the splendour of its court and the vigour of its commerce lay traditions of government and trade which had evolved over centuries.

Under colonial rule the British had orchestrated a smoothly functioning political and economic entity in which each ethnic group was allotted a specific role. In this colonial world, the British saw themselves as supreme arbiters, acting impartially and dispensing justice throughout the land. To a considerable extent the British role had been accepted by the society, and some groups genuinely believed that given the existing situation the colonial presence was desirable. The years of political conditioning could not be overcome simply by the transferral of sovereignty to a Malayan government. With the dismantling of British hegemony, each ethnic group feared being pushed aside by the others, and the post-independence years witnessed a scramble for dominance in areas hitherto restricted to one or another group. Each ethnic community wanted a share of what the others had and yet there was insufficient mutual trust to believe that the sharing would be done equitably.

Building upon an illustrious past, it established a pattern of government and a lifestyle which was emulated by subsequent Malay kingdoms and became the basis of what was later termed ‘traditional Malay culture and statecraft’.

Yet from this maze of detail distinct themes emerge, one of which concerns the activities of various Malay anak raja (sons of kings and pirates) and anak baik (sons of nobles). Existing material allows for the compilation of a number of interesting biographies. We can, for instance, follow the career of Perak's Raja 'Alim, who might have successfully unseated his cousin and become ruler himself had it not been for Dutch intervention. The wandering life led by a Siak prince, Raja Ismail, and his unceasing efforts to rally support for a triumphant return to his homeland are similarly described in both Malay chronicles and the missives of Dutch governors. Such accounts make for absorbing reading and undoubtedly have their own intrinsic historical value. On the other hand, it is perhaps more fruitful to regard anak raja like Raja 'Alim and Raja Ismail not so much as individuals as representatives of a distinct social category within what has been called the “ruling class.” If viewed in this light, the activities of many anak raja mentioned in the records take on a new dimension, and comments concerning their role in Malay history assume a wider application.}, keywords = {Barbara Watson Andaya}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Williams1976, title = {Cultural Nationalism in Wales}, author = {Collin Williams}, year = {1976}, date = {1976-01-01}, journal = {Canadian Review of Studies in Nationalism}, volume = {4}, number = {1}, pages = {15-37}, keywords = {Collin Williams}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Williams1976b, title = {Governance and Participation: Key Imperatives Which May Flatter to Deceive}, author = {Collin Williams}, year = {1976}, date = {1976-01-01}, abstract = {The statutory elements of the Welsh Language 1.

But unlike most other books in this excellent series, Dentan's volume also breaks new ethnographic ground, and until some more detailed account of Semai soci-ety is published, its ethnological importance will surely outweigh its educational aims. It is astonishing that we have had to wait so long for an integrated description of just one of the Aboriginal peoples of Malaya. Apart from some immensely readable popular accounts, the older literature on the" Sakai" and" Semang"(which is extensive enough to fill a whole bookshelf) contains a great deal of scrappily assembled ethnographic notes on most of the Malayan Aborigines, notably in the works of Skeat, Blagden, Evans, Schebesta, and Noone.(Why, incidentally, has Dentan not listed Evans and Schebesta in his" Recommended Reading"?-both authors wrote about the Semai.)

It is shown that their names provide them with one means of expressing the various mechanical conscious models that they hold of their own social structure. Comparative data are adduced and discussed, especially from similar societies elsewhere in Southeast Asia. Certain general conclusions are drawn: (a) that naming systems have yet to receive analytical attention from anthropologists such as they usually devote to the equally important kin-terminological systems; (b) that this sort of analysis in depth of a small fragment of culture provides a valuable means of characterising the relationship between society and culture.}, keywords = {Geoffrey Benjamin}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @book{Omar1968, title = {An Introduction To Malay Grammar Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka 2}, author = {Asmah Haji Omar and Rama Subbiah}, isbn = {9789836206794}, year = {1968}, date = {1968-01-01}, volume = {7}, number = {2}, publisher = {Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka}, keywords = {Asmah Haji Omar}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {book} } @article{Benjamin1967, title = { Lévi-Strauss and Anthropology}, author = {Geoffrey Benjamin}, year = {1967}, date = {1967-01-01}, journal = {The Cambridge Review}, volume = {89}, pages = {122–123, 149–151}, abstract = {This article from 1967 was re-edited slightly by the magazine's editors without consulting the author: the intended title was simply "Lévi-Strauss and Anthropology", and some passages were removed.

For example, disciplines are artificial entities, the products of historical happenstance and cultural commitments, rather than the rational effects of well-defined and naturally bounded subject matters. Attempts to bring them together often only succeed in reifying what was originally an erroneous separation. And most interesting work is already resolutely interdisciplinary, and so need not announce itself as such. Moreover, as may be seen by the titles of the chapters offered here, the perspectives are often intradisciplinary rather than interdisciplinary, and thereby bring together subfields within anthropology as much as connect (linguistic) anthropology to other disciplines. Anthropologists of language have always worked across fields and perspectives, as should already be apparent from most of the chapters in this volume. Given the essential importance of language and culture to every human endeavor, and given their radical entanglement, linguistic anthropologists have often had two underlying attitudes: How could you ever expect to understand one without reference to the other? And how could you ever expect to understand any other topic of human concern without reference to both? Enough said. }, keywords = {Jack Sidnell}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @article{Bhatia2021b, title = {World Englishes and Critical Discourse Analysis}, author = {Aditi Bhatia}, editor = {Aditi Bhatia}, keywords = {Aditi Bhatia}, pubstate = {forthcoming}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Bhatia2021c, title = {Discursive Construction of the Public Square in Hong Kong}, author = {Aditi Bhatia}, editor = {Vijay K Bhatia and Jerome Tessuto}, publisher = {Routledge}, keywords = {Aditi Bhatia}, pubstate = {forthcoming}, tppubtype = {inbook} }
