BETTER UNDERSTANDING RACE, ETHNICITY AND THE STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS: THE DISPROPORTIONATE LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Reimer Tracy , Bartos Alyssa
Published: December 2024

The study aimed to better understand elementary students’ mental health and well-being before and after the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as whether there are differences in elementary students’ self-reported mental health between racial groups. Minnesota Student Survey results were analysed, and the results of Bonferroni post-hoc tests found significant differences in worrying a lot and feeling sad between racial groups. Hispanic or Latino/Latina students are significantly more likely to worry a lot than all other racial/ethnic groups. Black, African or African American students are significantly less likely to feel sad than all other racial/ethnic groups, except White students. Hispanic or Latino/Latina students reported the largest increases in worrying and feeling sad between 2019 and 2022. The study findings hold implications for practice, including building educators’ cultural responsiveness, increasing mental health support in the schools, and implementing social-emotional learning in elementary schools.

Authors: Pedroni Lígia Maria Molina , Vieira Neto José Gabriel
Published: December 2024

A agricultura familiar representa cerca de 77% da população rural e gera 23% da produção agropecuária nacional, com destaque para o sul do país. No entanto, as atividades de pós-colheita para esse público muitas vezes não são possíveis de implementar pela especificidade e custo do projeto. Nesse contexto, a implementação de silos secadores-armazenadores de menor capacidade, mas que integram os processos de secagem e armazenamento na mesma estrutura. Este estudo avaliou a viabilidade de um silo desse tipo no município de Jandaia do Sul, analisando o escoamento de vento e a pressão estática em suas estruturas, simulando condições de vento de até 44,77 m/s. Os resultados indicaram que a estrutura é viável, sendo capaz de suportar as pressões estáticas e os ventos, contribuindo para a eficiência na conservação de grãos e prevenindo a condensação no telhado. Conclui-se que a instalação desses silos é adequada para a região e torna-se uma alterativa para produtores armazenarem seus produtos.
Análise da propriedade dielétrica em sementes de soja beneficiadas em separador de espiral rotativo sob diferentes fluxos de alimentação
Authors: Carriconde Isadora , Ingrid Gadotti Gizele
Published: December 2024

A grande produção de sementes de soja é frequentemente comprometida por fatores como danos mecânicos, níveis inadequados de umidade e contaminação por insetos ou microrganismos. Características físicas, como densidade aparente, teor de água e composição química, desempenham um papel crucial na determinação da qualidade das sementes. Essas propriedades podem ser avaliadas de maneira indireta e não destrutiva utilizando a permissividade dielétrica. Este estudo analisa a relação entre a capacitância de sementes de soja processadas em um separador espiral com diferentes alimentações. Tendo como resultados obtidos é possível inferir que sementes de alta qualidade apresentavam valores fisiológicos baixos na condutividade elétrica e que durante o beneficiamento com o aumento da alimentação há o acréscimo de sementes viáveis no descarte, o que não é adequado.

Published: December 2024

Depression is a prevalent concern, especially among the elderly who are at risk of falling and rely on walking aids. This study examines the relationship between falls, walking aid usage, and depression in the elderly using data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey 5 (IFLS-5). Conducted as a cross-sectional study, it included respondents aged ≥ 60 years. Among the 2909 respondents, the majority of respondents were aged below 75 years (13.4%), women (51.6%), and lower level of education (84.1%) with a prevalence of depression of 24,1%. The research revealed that age, education, and a history of falls were significantly associated with the occurrence of depression (p0.05). Age above 75 years old (OR: 0,653; 95% CI: 0,495-0,862) and higher education level (OR: 0,626; 95% CI: 0,483-0,811) was found to be a protective factor, while a history of falls was found to be a predictive factor to depression in elderly (OR: 1,996; 95%CI: 1,393-2,332). However, the use of walking aids showed no correlation with depression. These findings suggest that while age and education act as protective factors, a history of falls serves as a predictive factor for depression in the elderly.

Authors: Wijaya Reisa Melisa , Antonio Ferdi
Published: December 2024

Expansion of the healthcare sector in emerging nations aligns with the growth of private hospitals. This situation gives private hospitals some new challenges, like how to provide good quality care while growing the business, such as increasing the number of patients. An increasing number of patients is related to the referral system and healthcare providers. However, limited studies explained factors influencing healthcare provider engagement (HCPE) associated with willingness to re-refer within healthcare providers (WRH). This study investigated the relationship between factors influencing HCPE toward WRH within healthcare providers. A quantitative survey with a cross-sectional technique with a questionnaire asked 181 healthcare provider who usually refers patients to RSKK. Partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to analyze the data. The result of study showed that five of the six antecedents from HCPE were significant (p-value0.05), and the HCPE showed a substantial relationship with WRH (p-value0.05). As conclusion, patient-specialist interaction has an essential relation with HCPE. Furthermore, HCPE has a crucial relationship with WRH. Therefore, the hospital management needs to prioritize this part more to encourage HCPE. This study shows antecedents from HCPE related with WRH and this model can be replicated in different hospitals as the contribution.

Authors: Iskandar Muhamad Taufan , Sundari Sri
Published: December 2024

Long waiting times for healthcare services are one of the causes of patient dissatisfaction. The average waiting time for patient services at the Internal Medicine outpatient clinic is 280 minutes with the average duration of a doctor’s consultation being only 6 minutes. Nowadays, patients can decide for themselves whether long waiting times for short doctor consultations are worth the effort. This study aimed to determine patient satisfaction based on the duration of the doctor’s consultation. This research was conducted at the Internal Medicine Clinic using a quantitative observational analytical research design with a cross-sectional data collection method using a questionnaire. The patient satisfaction questionnaire uses a 1-5 Likert scale, while the doctor consultation duration questionnaire uses actual recording in minutes. The respondents for this study were 139 respondents based on epi-info software calculations with a confidence interval of 95%, and the sampling method used consecutive sampling. The research results were analyzed using SPSS version 21 with the chi-square analysis method. The duration of the doctor consultation, with an average of 6 minutes, does not affect patient satisfaction (p-Value 0.842). There are many other factors that can influence patient satisfaction, not limited to the duration of the doctor consultation.

Authors: Fang Fei
Published: December 2024

Education a human activity aimed at promoting all-round growth of the individuals, is an inherently complicated process. Education assessment, an essential component of the process, plays a crucial role in ensuring the healthy development of the educational system (Yang, 2007). Effective education assessment is based on objective descriptions of the characteristics and details of the educational activity in examination. The scales can serve as objective, accurate, and valid tools for this purpose (Luo et al., 2009). As a means of quantitative evaluation, a scale can systematically gather, organize, and analyze relevant data on a specific educational activity using a set of established metrics, for the purposes of providing educators with intuitive information on student learning outcomes, teaching efficacy, curricular effectiveness, and the legitimacy of educational resource distribution. Such a data-informed assessment instrument can facilitate decision-makers identifying strengthens and weaknesses in current educational practices as well as making evidence-based adjustments of educational policies (Yan, 2003).

Published: December 2024

Background and Study: Technical and tactical actions in wrestling have different approaches to the implementation of the athlete's competitive activity. However, in practice, we can see that the use of scientific research to improve the technical and tactical actions of elite wrestlers is not used enough.

Purpose: to explore the technical and tactical performance of elite wrestlers.

Material and methods: A total of 96 elite wrestlers aged 21-28 practicing Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling were examined. All athletes were divided into two groups: control (n=48) and experimental (n=48).

Results: The obtained results showed that when using the program for improving technical and tactical movements in elite wrestlers, the indicators of throws improved by an average of 13% (p<0.05). In addition, throws with a back bend, shoulder and backbend increased by an average of 11% (p<0.05). Some technical throws improved by about 12% (p<0.05). Analysis showed improvements in decision-making and movement skills in elite wrestlers in competitive wrestling. The obtained results show a decrease in the duration of the implementation of special wrestling skills in real conditions. The study of technical readiness revealed that a decrease in the time of implementation of special wrestling skills in elite wrestler’s competitions leads to a faster implementation of throws.

Conclusions: The proposed approach to improving technical and tactical correction leads to an improvement in the ability to make decisions and implement motor skills among elite wrestlers in competitive fight.

Authors: Yılmaz Taner , Tanır Halil
Published: December 2024

Background and Study Aim. The remote education process implemented following the earthquake, referred to as the "disaster of the century" in Turkey, led to significant changes in students' educational experiences. Students, distanced from their social environments in the university setting, were forced to attend classes and take exams online. This situation caused them to lose the discipline they had in face-to-face education. The impact was particularly evident in higher education institutions like the Faculty of Sports Sciences, which offers a curriculum with many practical courses, resulting in negative effects on students' time management skills. Therefore, this study aims to examine the time management skills of students in the Faculty of Sports Sciences.

Material and methods. The sample of the study consists of 472 volunteer students (n=151 female, n=321 male) studying at the Faculty of Sports Sciences at Uşak University in the Spring Semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. The "Time Management Questionnaire" was used to assess the time management skills of the students. Data for this analytical cross-sectional study were collected using the online survey method after receiving approval from the Uşak University Social and Human Sciences Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Committee. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 statistical software.

Results. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in the students' time management skill levels according to gender, sporting status, knowledge and use of time management techniques, department, grade level, and grade point average (p<0.05).

Conclusions. Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that female students, students who engage in sports, students who know and use time management techniques, students studying in the Physical Education and Sports Teaching department, second-year students, and students with higher grade point averages have better time management skills compared to other students. Therefore, university and faculty administrations can implement practices such as adding courses to the curriculum, providing training, organizing seminars, and seeking support from different institutions to improve the time management skills of students with lower time management abilities.
Anti-Corruption Strategies in Jakarta Provincial Government: Educational, Preventive and Represive Approaches

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Anti-corruption programs are the government's efforts to minimize the risk of corruption within the bureaucracy. However, implementing anti-corruption strategies often faces challenges, including the lack of coordination between the approaches used. Educative, preventive, and repressive approaches are often not well-coordinated, thus affecting the success of these anti-corruption programs. Therefore, this research evaluates the effectiveness of educational, preventive, and repressive programs implemented by the Jakarta Provincial Government in combating corruption, as measured by the Corruption Control Effectiveness Index (IEPK) through the Nvivo 14 Method. The study reveals that eight final verdict corruption cases occurred between 2017 and 2023, with seven of these cases arising before implementing the IEPK assessment model. Notably, the IEPK value improved from 2.94 in 2022 to 3.28 in 2023, indicating a shift from a "Learning" category to "Working," which suggests a reduction in corruption levels. While the findings highlight advancements in corruption control efforts, the reliance on corruption level data poses limitations, as it excludes ongoing cases that could accurately represent corruption levels. Future research should explore the impact of these improvements on governance and consider a broader range of data sources. Keywords: Anti-Corruption Strategies, IEPK, Level of Corruption, Nvivo 14. Abstrak. Program anti-korupsi adalah upaya pemerintah untuk meminimalkan risiko korupsi dalam birokrasi. Namun, pelaksanaan strategi anti-korupsi sering menghadapi tantangan, salah satunya adalah kurangnya koordinasi antara pendekatan yang digunakan. Pendekatan edukasi, pencegahan, dan represif sering kali tidak terkoordinasi dengan baik, sehingga memengaruhi keberhasilan program anti-korupsi tersebut. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini mengevaluasi efektivitas program edukasi, pencegahan, dan represif yang diterapkan oleh Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta dalam memerangi korupsi, yang diukur melalui Indeks Efektivitas Pengendalian Korupsi (IEPK) melalui Metode Nvivo 14. Studi ini mengungkapkan bahwa delapan kasus korupsi dengan putusan inkracht terjadi antara tahun 2017 dan 2023, di mana tujuh dari kasus tersebut muncul sebelum penerapan model penilaian IEPK. Secara signifikan, nilai IEPK meningkat dari 2,94 pada tahun 2022 menjadi 3,28 pada tahun 2023, menunjukkan pergeseran dari kategori "Belajar" menjadi "Bekerja," yang mengindikasikan penurunan tingkat korupsi. Meskipun temuan ini menyoroti kemajuan dalam upaya pengendalian korupsi, ketergantungan pada data tingkat korupsi menunjukkan keterbatasan, karena tidak mencakup kasus yang sedang berjalan yang dapat secara akurat mencerminkan tingkat korupsi. Penelitian di masa depan harus mengeksplorasi dampak dari perbaikan ini terhadap pemerintahan dan mempertimbangkan berbagai sumber data yang lebih luas. Kata Kunci: Strategi Anti Korupsi, IEPK, Tingkat Korupsi, NVivo 14.

Published: December 2024

This research aims to determine the digital literacy level of Electrical Engineering students from the Indonesian University of Education based on a survey in 2024. A digital questionnaire is used to gather information on technology use, self-assessment of digital literacy, and the challenges faced. The findings show that many students depend on the internet and social media, but have not evenly mastered the concept of digital literacy. Analysis based on youth age reveals that the 18-20 year old group needs intensive training compared to 21-23 year olds. Globalization provides wide access to information but creates challenges in sorting information. Rapid technological developments also require an independent commitment to learning digital literacy. Some of the recommendations include the integration of digital literacy materials into the curriculum, implementation of regular training, interactive online learning, and assistance to vulnerable groups. It is hoped that this research can describe the initial conditions of digital literacy and provide input for appropriate development programs to improve students' digital literacy competencies according to the demands of the current digital era.
Perceptions and Decision-Making Regarding Childfree Choices Among College Students in Indonesia: A Study at Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung
Authors: Putra Raafi Herdiansyah , Iqbal Asep Muhamad , Irwandi Irwandi
Published: December 2024

This article examines the perceptions and decision-making processes regarding the concept of being childfree (choosing to live without children) among students at Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. This university provides a compelling case for study due to its mission of cultivating mentally, spiritually, and intellectually capable individuals. The emphasis on 'spirituality' highlights the expectation for UIN Bandung students to develop a strong understanding of religion, which influences decision-making, including on social and religious issues such as the childfree phenomenon. This study seeks to explore UIN Bandung students’ perceptions of the childfree phenomenon, identify the factors influencing these perceptions, and analyze their decision-making processes regarding childfree choices. Using a descriptive method with a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through surveys and unstructured interviews. The findings reveal that the majority of UIN Bandung students perceive the concept of being childfree negatively. Factors influencing their perceptions include internal factors, such as personality traits (attitudes, interests, and experiences), and external factors, such as societal conditions. The study categorizes student decision-making into three groups: those who perceive childfree negatively and desire to have children, those who perceive childfree positively and choose to remain childfree, and those who perceive childfree positively but still desire to have children.
Ups and Downs in Qatar-Israel Relations: A Constructivist Analysis of Wendt's “Three Cultures of Anarchy”
Authors: Khair Aulia Ul
Published: December 2024

This research conducts a constructivist analysis of Alexander Wendt's "three cultures of anarchy," using the case study of Qatar-Israel relations. It explores how Wendt's concept can be applied to examine the structure, roles, and cultural dynamics shaping the interactions between these two states through various phenomena and issues. The study reveals that the relationship between Qatar and Israel has experienced fluctuations. Initially, both countries shared a collective identity, facilitating interaction and problem-solving. However, shifts in domestic, regional, and international representations have rendered this identity less relevant over time. The research adopts qualitative methods and descriptive analysis, utilizing data from literature reviews, including books, journals, articles, and online sources. Grounded in a constructivist approach and Wendt's cultural theories, it examines international politics by identifying the evolution of cultural representations, logic, and internalization in state relationships. Findings indicate that the representations in Qatar-Israel relations are asymmetrical. While Israel perceives its friendship with Qatar as significant, Qatar’s influence in the relationship remains limited. This study underscores the role of identity, culture, and representation in shaping interstate dynamics and offers insights into the complexities of their interactions.
Digital Sovereignty and State Power: Indonesia’s Approach to Digital Platforms Regulation
Authors: Gumati Mirna Rahmadina
Published: December 2024

The growing influence of digital platforms has sparked debate over the ideal balance of sovereignty in regulating their operations. While digital sovereignty is essential for safeguarding against external influences, it also risks granting governments extensive control over citizens. Indonesia’s Ministry of Communication and Information (MoCI) Regulation No. 10 of 2021 (MR 10/2021), which governs private-sector Electronic System Organizers, exemplifies this tension. This article examines MR 10/2021’s rationale and impact on Indonesia’s digital society through thematic analysis of YouTube content and discussions with MoCI representatives. The findings reveal that the platform registration mandate reflects a state-centric view of digital sovereignty, emphasizing territorial authority and control. However, a disconnect emerges between the regulation’s stated objectives—such as promoting fair competition, protecting users, and mapping digital industry players—and its implementation. By equating digital platforms with traditional businesses, the regulation facilitates governmental access to electronic data and systems for monitoring, content removal, and law enforcement. To achieve its goals more effectively, the study advocates refining MR 10/2021 and introducing sector-specific policies tailored to the unique dynamics of digital platforms.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to explore the different perspectives on the conception of happiness of Indonesians, Indians, and Americans. This study employs an exploratory qualitative approach using thematic data analysis with NVivo 12. Using purposive sampling, individual interviews were conducted with 7 participants aged between 25 to 50 years old. This study discerns divergent themes in happiness among three cultures, with notable similarities between Indonesians and Indians. Both cultures exhibit a pronounced emphasis on social ties and personal development and achievement. Additionally, religious and spiritual practices, positive outlook, and self-expression consistently emerge as significant factors shaping happiness in these cultures. Despite these similarities, each culture showed different contexts. In contrast, Americans showcase distinctive themes, prioritizing nature-connectedness, exploration, and autonomy which includes self-reliance. These findings underscore the pivotal role of cultural context in shaping perspectives on happiness, emphasizing the necessity for culturally tailored interventions to enhance happiness across diverse populations.

The method employed was simple regression analysis on a sample of 151 Muslim students aged 18-25 years. This research applied a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design to analyze the relationship between variables. The results indicate that empathy significantly affects religious conflict, with a coefficient value of sig = .000 (p < .05). These findings suggest that empathy can be one of the factors in reducing tensions between groups in religious contexts. However, this study is limited to a student sample and a single case context, so the results must be generalised cautiously. Future research should expand the demographic scope and consider other socio-cultural factors to gain a more comprehensive understanding. These findings are expected to contribute to developing empathy-based interventions to reduce tensions in religious and social contexts.
Unveiling Gestures in Colluthus’s 'Abduction of Helen'
Authors: Watkins Nattermann India
Published: December 2024

This article examines the repeated gestures of unveiling in Colluthus’s 5th-century ce epyllion, The Abduction of Helen. In the ancient Greek psychological framework, veiling is situated within embodied discourses on aidos (sexualized shame), marriage, and rape, and is linked with another repeated image: opened doors. I read Colluthus’s text as a rape narrative that is simultaneously conveyed and complicated through the multivalent symbols of the veil and door. Colluthus uses metaphoric language to express female characters’ responses to Helen’s abduction and to trace an arc through the poem from childlike innocence, to sexualized behavior and shamelessness, to destruction. By linking these contrasting psychological states, Colluthus complicates the poem’s depiction of female sexuality. Furthermore, Colluthus elides the poem’s central crisis – Helen’s abduction and her own response to it – and instead frames it with this imagery to open up interpretative possibilities for the entire poem: does Helen go willingly, or is she raped?
Dream Divination in the Greco-Egyptian Magical Papyri
Authors: Von Ehrenheim Hedvig
Published: December 2024

This essay investigates how dream divination in magical papyri from Graeco-Roman antiquity may have functioned for the individual practitioner. Exploring the current neurobiological understanding of dreaming, it shows how these dreams may have been rehearsed, recalled, and structured according to cultural expectations. It also explores in what ways physiological properties of dreaming would allow for a subjective experience, which may have been accepted as real.

The Socio-Cultural Background of the Genesis of the Lublin-Volhynia Culture
Authors: Kadrow Sławomir , Zakościelna Anna
Published: December 2024

The direct sources for the study of the origin of many constitutive elements of the Lublin-Volhynian culture (hereafter: L-VC) from various and sometimes distant areas of a culturally diverse nature prompt us to outline the cultural situation in the second half of the 5th millennium BC , and especially in the final phase, in the vast areas of Southeastern Europe and adjacent parts of Eastern Europe. The rationale behind such a move is to help understand this culture and its multifaceted origins. Like a “posthumous child”, it appeared at the last moment of the existence of some cultures belonging to the same cultural complex, i.e., the Early Eneolithic Cultural Complex (hereafter: EECC ), at the latest around 4100 BC . Paradoxically, the Cucuteni-Trypillia Cultural Complex (hereafter: CTCC ) in its younger part of the BI phase (4230–4100 BC ; cf. Diachenko et al. 2024), with a socio-cultural profile distant from the EECC , seems to be the leading “source” of the constitutive elements of the new culture, i.e. the L-VC. The CTCC was the only cultural entity that did not disappear during this period but rather expanded rapidly.
Environmental Context of the Early-Slavic Culture Settlement at Zofipole, Site 1, Kraków District
Authors: Dobrzańska Halina
Published: December 2024

The paper presents the settlement of the Early-Slavic culture on site 1 at Zofipole, Kraków district, framed in the context of changes of natural environment from the 5th to the 7th century AD. The Zofipole site belongs to the group of nine small settlements from that period located on the left-hand side loess terrace of the Vistula River. This area is well recognized from both the archaeological and the paleographic points view. Despite unfavorable climatic changes, life there was facilitated by the natural advantages of the place. The location of settlements on the border of two different ecosystems – a loessterrace and a floodplain – was convenient for land cultivation and stock breeding. The floodplain was also the source of raw material for pottery production. In such conditions, elementary agricultural activities were possible and secured the basic needs of the inhabitants of the small settlements in that zone, such as that at Zofipole.
Sex and gender representation in translation: Unveiling the complications
Authors: Osuchowska Dorota
Published: December 2024

The paper discusses a number of difficulties connected with translating gendered vocabulary which, for the limited purpose of this discussion, is understood as either vocabulary that allows the translator to identify the sex of a referent or all other vocabulary that, in one way or another, relates to gender as a cultural concept. The presentation, based on students’ translations as well as authentic examples from contemporary literature collected by the author, is primarily intended for translation trainees who frequently underestimate the problems they will one day be obliged to resolve in confrontation with this particular segment of the lexicon. Other than that, it may be of use to fellow translation instructors, especially those interested in authentic material that they could employ to illustrate how the two concepts, translation and gender, intersect. The illustrative material presented in the paper represents English and Polish. From this, it follows that it is pertinent to any discussion of rendering gender while translating from an analytic to an inflectional language. Its novelty resides in the fact that it showcases issues that are often ignored in current discussions of translation and gender, but are nevertheless important from the point of view of everyday translation practice.
“It’s not the lie that bothers me, it’s the insult to my intelligence that I find offensive”: An investigation into the use of lies and insults in political discourse during the 2024 UK General Election on the basis of the BBC 7-party debate
Authors: Trinder Donald
Published: December 2024

In the mid 2010s political discourse was subject to a downward spiral as lies and insults have become prevalent firstly as a consequence of the Brexit Referendum in the UK and then the election of Donald Trump as President of the USA. This spiral in the UK theoretically came to an end with the demise of Boris Johnson as Prime Minister, and the return to ‘grown up’ politics promised by Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt among others. Thus, the 2024 UK General Election seemed to offer the perfect opportunity to assess the extent to which the dishonesty and insult that characterised the populist Johnson’s premiership had fallen out of fashion. 
The paper analyses the BBC’s seven-party debate, which took place on June 7th, 2024, using the methodology of political discourse analysis to investigate the extent to which representatives of the seven main parties competing in the election campaign were prepared to resort to lies and insult as part of their rhetorical arsenal. The results indicate that the Conservatives and Remain were particularly prone to the deployment of both lies and insults, but, somewhat surprisingly, the Scottish National Party were equally liable to slip in the odd embellishment of the truth.
English/French code-switching in later medieval charters
Authors: Ingham Richard
Published: December 2024

The spoken use of French in later medieval England cannot be recovered, except insofar as it may be inferred from surviving documents. The use in medieval Latin charters of the French definite article (FA) determining an English Noun (EN) is here taken to be a textually preserved remnant of spoken usage. Following earlier work by Ingham (2009), the FA + EN phenomenon is studied quantitatively, showing that the FA + EN construction occurs where it would accord with code-switching constraints observed in contemporary bilingual communities. Attention is paid in particular to the appearance or otherwise of the phenomenon in contexts featuring a possessive and an adjectival modifier of the Noun, where a clear structural contrast is obtained, as predicted on the assumption that spoken code-switching lay behind the establishment of the charter text. It is further shown that FA+EN is more frequent with a monosyllabic than a polysyllabic Noun, for which a prosodic explanation is proposed, in keeping with the hypothesis that the phenomenon was originally oral. This support for the existence of spoken bilingualism from the 13th century onwards in a professional environment fits the timeframe, furthermore, for the well-known expansion in the penetration of French loan words into English. Alternative explanations that have been proposed for the FA + EN phenomenon are considered but found to be inadequate.
On metonymy and other forms of motivation for some Nigerian English expressions
Authors: Kosecki Krzysztof
Published: December 2024

Nigerian English (NE) gradually developed on the basis of British English (BE) in the wake of the British colonization of West Africa. Numerous expressions in both varieties have the same or closely similar forms but different meanings. Such differences are often motivated by the cognitive mechanism of metonymy. They involve two distinct paths of conceptualization and categories of usage: (i) expressions that do not function as metonymic sources in BE give rise to metonymies in NE; (i) the same metonymic sources in BE and in NE provide access to different extensions of the same targets in NE. Apart from conceptual metonymy, many instances of NE usage reflect two other motivating factors: the impact of the local socio-cultural experience and of the West African linguistic substratum. All three forms of motivation are often present within a single expression.
