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.

We first demonstrate that individual bilingualism in the abstract is discussed in highly favourable terms and is widely conceptualised as a ‘gift’ from parents to children. 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. As a result, consecutive bilinguals, particularly migrant fathers, come to be perceived as both problematic bilinguals and problematic parents.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yet, as commercial publishers develop new models for capturing revenue (and as policy initiatives like Plan S remain reluctant to challenge their centrality), researchers, librarians, and other concerned observers are beginning to articulate a set of values that critically engages the industry-driven project of broadening access to specialist scholarship. 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.

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.

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. This article suggests that the study of the use and spread of banners, especially the early COVID-19 banners, sheds light on the study of mass communication and discourse style, and also how measures to contain pandemics such as COVID-19 can be communicated.}, keywords = {Adams Bodomo}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Deumert2020b, title = {Introduction: Colonial linguistics—then and nowColonial linguistics—then and now}, author = {Ana Deumert and Anne Storch}, doi = {10.1093/oso/9780198793205.003.0001}, isbn = {9780198793205}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-11-30}, pages = {1-22}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, abstract = {Debates about the legacy of colonialism in the academy are not new.

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. The overall pattern of results suggests that mentalizing may follow distinct pathways across the two groups.}, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @inbook{Tsimpli2020b, title = {Reference use and attention shifting abilities in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Specific Language Impairment}, author = {Ianthi Tsimpli and Eleni Peristeri}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-11-24}, urldate = {2020-11-24}, pages = {207-237}, abstract = {Our study investigates the use of character reference and the attention shifting abilities of Greek-speaking children with Autism Spectrum Disorders and Specific Language Impairment.

The results indicated that children with ASD produced considerably more underspecified referential forms than the children with SLI and typically-developing children in both Introduction and Reintroduction, while children with SLI tended to produce more overspecified forms than the rest of the groups when maintaining characters. Also, the Global-Local task revealed increased global and local switch costs for the children with ASD and SLI, respectively.

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.

Data gathered in Honiara over the last 15 years, most recently in 2015–2016, show the emergence of a variety of patterns among Malaitan women living in Honiara regarding their productive and reproductive autonomy, and their role in brideprice. Beyond their diversity, what these data reveal, we argue, is that the interstitial cultural spaces created by the urbanization of social and economic relations afford young urban women the possibility of engaging with brideprice in a way that had not been possible until then.

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.

In doing so, we identify and map the communicative functions of reflexive metadiscourse onto a stage model of group development. We identify three key stages in a typical group life cycle where dominance-linked reflexive metadiscourse plays a seminal role in the outcome of a given moderated group discussion (i.e. the forming, transition, and performing stages). In adopting a qualitative, micro-interactional and contextually sensitive approach, we question the role of high explicitness as identification criteria of reflexive metadiscourse in spoken data.

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{Graham2020b, title = {Late bilingual acquisition of narrow corrective focus in American English by Japanese and Spanish native speakers}, author = {Calbert Graham}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-09-06}, urldate = {2020-09-06}, journal = {The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, abstract = {The present study examined the non-native acquisition of English tonal patterns and the phonetic implementation (i.e. duration and pitch range realisations) in corrective narrow focus marking by native speakers of Spanish (a typologically close language to English) and Japanese (a typologically more distant language to English). 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.

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. The ethnographic data, collected for almost 13 months, comprise voice-recorded interactions, field notes from on-site participant observation as well as ethnographic interviews with select blue-collar workers and their supervisors.

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.

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.

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.

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{nokey, title = {Understanding Self, Others, and the World in a Multilingual World: Learning Through Japanese}, author = {Ikuko Nakane}, editor = {Reijiro Aoyama and Tomoko Akashi and Lee SuwaeNaru}, isbn = {9784750350516}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-07-31}, urldate = {2020-07-31}, journal = {Japanese as Lingua Franca Rethinking Japanese Language Education for Multilingual and Multicultural Coexistence}, volume = {1}, pages = {19-42}, abstract = {The environment surrounding Japanese language education is becoming multilingual at home and abroad.

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.

Interestingly, Asian participants reported that their intentions to care for and communicatively support older people were lower than that expected of them, whereas Western participants claimed that they personally would provide more support of all types than was expected of them.}, keywords = {Howard Giles}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {inbook} } @bachelorthesis{Korne2020, title = {Introduction.

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{Pablé2020b, title = {Integrating biosemiotics: From a semiological point of view}, author = {Adrian Pablé}, doi = {10.12697/SSS.2020.48.1.07}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-06-30}, journal = {Sign Systems Studies}, volume = {48}, number = {1}, pages = {125-145}, abstract = {This paper is a study in the ‘philosophy of semiotics’.

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’.

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.

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.

Audiovisual products are often but not always created with the support of technological apparatus, and their translations are also created and accessed through one or more electronic devices. The main modalities for screen translation of fictional products are dubbing and subtitling. The aim of dubbing is to make the translated dialogue appear as though it is being uttered by the actors. Subtitles are an abbreviated written translation of what can be heard on screen. Fansubbing, considered a forerunner of crowdsourced translation, arose in response to the dissatisfaction of fans with what they considered inadequate dubbing and subtitling of TV series.

This analysis contrasts writers’ intentions to write (in) a particular language vs. to mobilise linguistic resources in a more holistic manner.

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.

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). The why includes ethical, aesthetic, and utilitarian reasons such as improving wellbeing and mental health.}, keywords = {Ghil‘ad Zuckermann}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {book} } @article{Kirby2020b, title = {Acoustic correlates of plosive voicing in Madurese}, author = {James Kirby and Misnadin Nadin }, doi = {10.1121/10.0000992}, year = {2020}, date = {2020-04-01}, urldate = {2020-04-01}, journal = {The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, volume = {147}, issue = {4}, pages = {2779-2790}, abstract = {Madurese, a Malayo-Polynesian language of Indonesia, is of interest both areally and typologically: it is described as having a three-way laryngeal contrast between voiced, voiceless unaspirated, and voiceless aspirated plosives, along with a strict phonotactic restriction on consonant voicing-vowel height sequences. 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.

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.

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 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. Overall, this shows that cognitive tasks are prone to contextual effects and that bilingualism and linguistic diversity can enhance cognitive performance of children in disadvantaged contexts.}, keywords = {Ianthi Tsimpli}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Giles2020f, title = {Vocal Accommodation and Mimicry}, author = {Howard Giles and Quinten S.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

This difference is assumed to be evident in a Confucian-based Vietnamese society, where inequality between the genders is so prevalent in the family structure that females are expected not to use personal pronouns towards or about their husbands in any situations. Vietnamese personal pronouns have never been studied in the context of politeness. In this study, we survey the endorsement of the three singular personal pronouns among couples in southern Vietnam.

Alongside this global awareness is a surging demand for expertise in sign language documentation, analysis, teaching, and interpretation.

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.

Skonieczny 2018), and he has continued to travel in this direction since his inauguration as President. A distinctive feature of Trump’s campaign and Presidency has been his prolific use of the social media platform, Twitter; and it can be argued that his adoption of this platform as his primary vehicle of communication with the American people, coupled with his atypical style of political communication, is perhaps the most visceral example of his populist rhetoric. Recently, it has been highlighted that in comparison to traditionally organised and managed political Twitter campaigns, Trump’s use is very much spontaneous and non-traditional, and manifests in what Enli (2017: 54) has termed his “amateurish yet authentic style” of “gut-feeling tweeting”.

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.

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.

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.

Yet their fluctuations of tone and their deployment of multiple internal addressees may be felt to undermine their capacity to teach, even if we adopt an interpretation of the text which privileges some tones and some addressees over others. Placing the Sibylline Oracles alongside more familiar didactic poems in Greek and Latin which urge their readers towards a certain outlook, I highlight in both arenas a tension between approaches of ethical or practical instruction, a mode which presumes the agency of the listeners or readers to act on clear prompts, and of ‘apocalyptic’revelation, which hectors a powerless audience with a vision of an unconditional future, often in coded language.}, keywords = {Helen Van Noorden}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Cardoso2019, title = {Documenting modern Sri Lanka Portuguese}, author = {Hugo Cardoso and Mahesh Radhakrishnan and Patrícia Costa and Rui Pereira}, year = {2019}, date = {2019-12-01}, urldate = {2019-12-01}, keywords = {Hugo Cardoso}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Bhatia2019, title = {Vlogging and the discursive co‐construction of ethnicity and beauty}, author = {Aditi Bhatia}, doi = {10.1111/weng.12442}, year = {2019}, date = {2019-11-27}, journal = {World Englishes}, volume = {39}, number = {1}, pages = {7-21}, abstract = {Taking as its data set beauty tutorials on YouTube, considered to be audio‐visual discursive products that combine speech, body performance, and text (posted comments) to relay specific meanings (Bhatia, 2018), this paper investigates both production of text on part of the sender (vlogger) and interpretation of the text on part of the recipient (viewers) in the joint creation of identity.

In the study of the effects of globalisation on contemporary society, foreign investment features as a salient issue for intellectual discussion of issues such as agency, soft power, and symmetry. 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. The paper ends with an outline of the strategies China can pursue, and the pitfalls China must avoid, if it is to consolidate its leading role on the African continent in the second decade of the twenty-first century.}, keywords = {Adams Bodomo}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Williams2019, title = {Creative ambiguity in the service of language policy and new speakers}, author = {Collin Williams}, doi = {10.1007/s10993-018-9500-8}, year = {2019}, date = {2019-11-01}, journal = {Language Policy}, volume = {18}, number = {4}, pages = {593–608}, abstract = {This paper critiques the contribution made by specialists working within the COST Action Network on New Speakers Programme.

These concepts encompass the wide issue of the researcher’s position not only in relation to informants, but also in relation to the research topic, the context and the research process more generally.

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.

Se analiza dibujos realizados por niñ@s en dos entornos educativos minoritarios: una escuela bilingüe esloveno‐alemana en Austria y un taller de lengua y arte enfocado en la lengua indígena zapoteca del istmo de Tehuantepec en México. Se examina cómo l@s estudiantes representan los regímenes lingüísticos en sus espacios sociales a través de sus dibujos. Analizando estas representaciones junto a observaciones etnográficas y entrevistas con educadores en ambos contextos permite notar las diferencias entre la planificación de l@s educadores y las representaciones y experiencias de l@s estudiantes.

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. Furthermore, domain-general attentional control abilities were significantly associated with sentence comprehension abilities in both healthy controls and PWA.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} } @article{Pham2019bb, title = {Tone-register harmony in Vietnamese reduplication: Change in progress?}, author = {Andrea Hoa Pham and Andrew Nguyen}, year = {2019}, date = {2019-05-29}, journal = {KFC Halls and Rooms in Ryogoku, Tokyo, Japan.}, pages = {65}, abstract = {A survey was carried out using 21 stative verbs to investigate the way these reduplicative patterns are used across dialects, and if there is any difference in verbal or written communication style.

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.

The subtitling of dialogue in the secondary language for the target English-speaking audience and the specific translation solutions are not within the scope of this discussion, instead we focus on the comic collision of two languages and more importantly, on the way Wilder implements humour to highlight the absurdity of cultural difference.

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.

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{Andaya2019bb, title = {One Crowded Moment of Glory: The Kinabalu Guerrillas and the 1943 Jesselton Uprising}, author = {Barbara Watson Andaya}, doi = {10.1353/ras.2019.0020}, isbn = {978-967-488-086-6}, year = {2019}, date = {2019-01-01}, journal = {Journal of the Malaysian Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society}, volume = {92}, number = {2}, pages = {157-160}, abstract = {The Jesselton Uprising that was launched by the resistance movement known as the Kinabalu Guerrillas against the Japanese Army on 9 October 1943 was a momentous event that took place in the state of Sabah, Malaysia during the Japanese occupation.

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} } @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.

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} } @inbook{Pia2018, title = {As ‘techno-politics’ holds sway, is a water commons possible in China?}, author = {Andrea E.

While the VOT distributions of the three languages are extremely similar, they differ in terms of their onset f0 behavior. 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.

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{Kirby2018d, title = {Mixed-effects design analysis for experimental phonetics}, author = {James Kirby and Morgan Sonderegger}, doi = {10.1016/j.wocn.2018.05.005}, year = {2018}, date = {2018-06-01}, urldate = {2018-06-01}, journal = {Journal of Phonetics}, volume = {70 }, abstract = {It is common practice in the statistical analysis of phonetic data to draw conclusions on the basis of statistical significance.

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.

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.

For sociolinguists the challenge is even greater, partly because of the spotty knowledge of linguistic diversity in the continent and the scarcity of adequate sociolinguistic descriptions of the ways in which Africans manage their language repertoires. 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. Moreover, the peculiarity of African economies, which rely heavily on informal noninstitutionalized practices, prompts a rethinking of assumptions regarding the acquisition of the host country’s language(s) as the primary facilitator of the migrants’ socioeconomic inclusion.

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.

It is then shown that this structure seems to be mirrored in the real world behaviour of the Mabia with respect to time. Punctuality in traditional Mabia society is conceptualised not in terms of time points but in terms of time intervals.

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.

Indeed, previous works have established from a corpus of interview with a politician: 1. The use of elsewhere during the exegesis of key arguments of a polemic; 2. A strategic function in the allocation of turns of this adverbial phrase; 3. The virtual absence of elsewhere in these 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.

Empirically, it is based on large corpora of data collected in multilingual and multicultural workplaces. First, the article outlines transdisciplinary action research as a theoretical framework that enables researchers and practitioners to collaboratively develop sustainable solutions to real-world problems in which language use in general and text production in particular play a substantial role ( Section 1 ). Then, Progression Analysis is explained as a multimethod approach to investigate text production practices in natural environments such as workplaces ( Section 2 ). Examples from four domains (education, finance, translation, and journalism) illustrate what value transdisciplinary collaboration between academic researchers and practitioners can add to knowledge generation in applied linguistics ( Section 3 ). For the case of journalism in increasingly global contexts, in-depth analyses offer step-by-step understanding of the trajectory from a real-world problem to a sustainable solution ( Section 4 ).

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.

This article uses an 1899 court case in Singapore concerning a noisy neighbour as a departure point to consider some of the ways in which “noise” was heard in traditional Southeast Asian societies. Focusing on Singapore, it shows that European attitudes influenced the attitudes of the colonial administration towards loud noise, especially in the streets. 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. The regulations and public campaigns introduced over the last 60 years still face the problem of intrusive noise, both in the public and private domain.

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.

The concurrence of two phonetic processes in the Baṭḥari phonetic system, namely pharyngealization and glottalization, will be explored in detail. These two processes are involved in the realization of the socalled “emphatics”, which are known to show both kinds of realization in various contexts in MSAL (Watson & Bellem 2011; Ridouane & al. 2015).

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.

However, children with ASD and no comorbid intellectual disability struggle with some aspects of language whose precise nature is still outstanding. 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. Microstructural properties included lexical and syntactic measures of complexity such as subordinate vs. coordinate clauses and types of subordinate clauses.

However, children with ASD and no comorbid intellectual disability struggle with some aspects of language whose precise nature is still outstanding. 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. Microstructural properties included lexical and syntactic measures of complexity such as subordinate vs. coordinate clauses and types of subordinate clauses.

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.

As long-distance voyages expanded in the early modern period, the global reach of the world religions, extending beyond familiar seas into the more extensive ocean environment, held out particular appeal. 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').

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.

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).
