Authors: Surinder Pal Singh  , Harjinder Singh  , Leena Chopra
Published: September 2020

Background: Pulmonary function tests (PFT’s) using complete spirometry help us quantify  the state of the respiratory system and aid in the management of respiratory tract illnesses in pediatric practice. However, instrumentation is relatively expensive and only available in hospitals. In contrast, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) can be measured using relatively inexpensive peak flow meters and are of value in identifying and assessing the degree of airflow limitation of individuals. To detect any abnormality it is necessary to know the normal values of PEFR in particular region as PEFR depends on geographical, climatic, anthropometric, nutritional, and socioeconomic conditions. The purpose of this study is to get values of PEFR in school going children in Patiala region and its correlation if any with anthropometric parameter such as height.Subjects and Methods:A total 600 children of age group 10- 14 years from schools of Patiala district were taken and age, height,weight of children were noted and PEFR was measured.Results:The correlation of height and weight with PEFR value among rural and urban children was found to be highly significant (p value<0.001). However there was no correlation found between the PEFR values and the age.Conclusion: The correlation of height and weight with PEFR values among urban and rural children was found to be highly significant.
Efficacy of Langhana with Saptamushtika Yusha in the Treatment of Aama in Aamavata with special reference to Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: Momin Jasminbegam , E Gogate V
Published: September 2020

In developing societies, the nutritional patterns collectively termed the ‘western diet’ including high fat and cholesterol, high protein, high sugar and excess salt intake as well as frequent consumption of processed and fast food promote obesity, cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome which are now recognized as due to chronic inflammatory processes in body. According to the ancient Acharyas, above mentioned dietary habits are the common hetus responsible for the Agnidushti and development of diseases like Aamavata. The common signs and symptoms of Aamavata have similarities with Rheumatoid Arthritis which is an autoimmune disorder of unknown etiology. Aamavata has been a challenging problem to the medical field. Various treatment protocols are applied in this disease with partial success. The ancient Acharyas have mentioned the Langhana along with its different possible ways as a first Upakrama for the treatment of Aamavata. In present clinical study, five patients of clinically proven Aamavata were treated with Laghu Aahara Rupi Langhana by using Saptamushtika Yusha for seven days. All clinical Nidanadi Ayurvediya parameters and American College of Rheumatology guidelines for Rheumatoid Arthritis were followed. The assessment of symptoms was done with the help of Disease Activity Score (DAS). Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) which is increased in most of the chronic inflammatory conditions was also investigated. It was observed that there was a marked reduction in ESR along with the considerable relief in signs and symptoms of patient. The results are encouraging and indicate the efficacy of Langhana with Saptamushtika Yusha over Aamavata.

Authors: Gupta Karan R , Sawarkar Gaurav , Jadhav Ulhas
Published: September 2020

The Srotas are well defined concept explained by Acharya Sushruta and Charak; Udakvaha Srotas is one of them. Its root source (Moolsthan) is Talu & Kloma. The root source Talu of Udakvaha Srotas is well known and understood as palate everywhere but still there is ambiguity about Kloma. The thirst (Pipasa) is prime symptom of interruption in Udakvaha Srotas similarly thirst is also found in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) cases, therefore it would be possible to study the role of lungs in maintenance of water in the body. So, this was primary effort to study the structure Kloma in the body with the help of observational study i.e. by observing Pipasa in cases of COPD considering the lung as a controversial structure Kloma. Secondary objectives of the study were literature search about Kloma, study of Viddha Lakshana and correlation of Kloma with present well-known structure. So to explain the anatomical area of Kloma and specify Kloma with body organ was the prime plan to start this review.

Authors: Gupta Suruchi Santosh , Thosar Nilima , Rathi Nilesh , Baliga Sudhindra M , Thakkar Yagnesh , Deulkar Pranjali
Published: September 2020

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of Vitex negundo Linn. extract as root canal irrigant against Enterococcus faecalis and its penetration into root dentin. Methods and Materials: Forty single rooted premolars were randomly divided into 4 groups: 3% Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2% Chlorhexidine (CHX) , 100mg/ml Vitex negundo Linn. and saline as control all mixed with Rhodamine B dye. Test samples were analysed for bacterial count before and after irrigation using absorbent paper points and the colony forming units were recorded and measured. Sectioning of the samples was performed at three levels 3mm,6mm,9mm from apex and then these samples were analysed using confocal laser scanning microscopy for penetration depth of the irrigant within the dentinal tubules. Paired t-test and ANOVA test were used to perform statistical analysis with level of significance set at 0.05 Results: The mean CFU/ml count of Enterococcus facealis reduced significantly in all the groups post irrigation. All the irrigants showed maximum penetration depth at coronal third level compared to middle and apical third level respectively. The penetration depth of NaOCl group was better when compared to CHX group and Vitex negundo Linn. group but the difference was statistically not significant. Conclusion: Although 3% NaOCl was the most effective irrigant, all agents exerted acceptable antimicrobial activity against Enterococcus faecalis and penetration depth within tubules of dentin.

Published: September 2020

The marine ecology is diverse with innumerable types of natural substances, both of plant and animal origin. Padina tetrastromatica (PT) (Hauck) is a brown algae belonging to the order Dictyotales, found in coastal region. The objective of present investigation was to evaluate phytochemical profile of extracts of PT. The air dried plant material was defatted and extracted successively with solvents of increasing polarity. Incumbent study was performed with standard qualitative phytochemical tests and HPTLC fingerprint analysis using CAMAG HPTLC system. The results showed the presence of phytoconstituents like sterols, terpenoids, flavonoids, glycosides, alkaloids and carbohydrates. Furthermore, components present in extracts were resolved in best possible solvent system by HPTLC. The chloroform extract of PT displayed eight peaks, in which those with Rf values 0.28 and 0.72 were more predominant. Whereas ethanol extract of PT exhibited nine peaks, in which maximum Rf value was found to be 0.82. In conclusion, the data of this study provide useful guide and suitability for investigation of biological activity of the plant according to the phytochemical groups observed. However, further work is needed to standardize the above chemical constituents in comparison with biomarker and this result can also be measured along with the other data for setting up the standards to this plant.

Published: September 2020

Vrana ( wound and ulcer) & process of healing is the soul of Shalyatantra Chikitsa (Surgical treatment ). Dushta Vrana means getting vitiated by Dosha & hence Dushta Vrana or infected wound is characterized by bad smell, abnormal color with profuse discharge, severe pain and longer healing time. The severity of infected wounds and their vast range of etiologies, The treatment is cleaning & dressing the wound or it can be more extensive. It may require surgical intervention to close the wound and stabilize the patient. Acharya Sushruta defines Kshara as the substance possessing Ksharana and Kshanan properties. Ksharaplota formulation was selected and applied over the affected infected wound with the help of gauze piece. During the preparation of Ksharaplota, it is coated with Snuhi kshira, Apamarga kshara & Haridra. All these drugs are Shodhana & Ropana. It was observed that Ksharaplota has the properties as sustained release of drug, absorbs discharges, less painful & easily acceptable by the patient with excellent Sodhana & Ropana Karma. The clinical study has been done on 438 patients, selected randomly and divided in two groups. Group A 220 patients i.e. trial group, were treated with local application of Ksharaplota. The Group B 218 patients i.e. control group, were treated with Gold standard. The clinical assessment was done on the basis of clinical presentation of Dushta Vrana, (Infected wound) before and after the treatment. As grading used for assessment of parameters which were ordinal in nature, “Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test” was used for within the group assessment (i.e. before and after treatment of a group). For between the group assessment of parameters, Mann Whitney – U test was applied. We had tested hypothesis for each parameter and result was interpreted accordingly. The level of significance was kept at 5% (P=0.05). And the result of the present study found significant.

Authors: Santander Trigo Sara , Gaeta González Martha Leticia , Martínez-Otero Pérez Valentín
Published: September 2020

La capacidad de regular los estados emocionales ha sido considerada como un aspecto esencial de la educación integral de las personas al posibilitar el bienestar personal, la socialización y el logro laboral y académico, entre otros beneficios. La percepción que tiene el profesorado sobre su propia regulación emocional y la del alumnado incide en su labor profesional en el aula. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar el impacto de la regulación emocional en el aula, desde la perspectiva de 200 profesores de distintos niveles educativos en España. Para ello se evaluó el nivel de regulación emocional del profesorado, mediante el TMMS-24, así como el nivel de regulación emocional del alumnado percibido por el profesorado y el impacto de la regulación emocional en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, mediante instrumentos diseñados ad hoc. Los resultados muestran que, a mayor nivel de regulación emocional del profesorado, mayor importancia dada a la formación específica en regulación emocional, mayor cantidad de recursos destinados para ello y mayor motivación ante la falta de regulación emocional del alumnado, al considerarla como un reto. Estos hallazgos tienen implicaciones importantes en las pautas de actuación e intervención para la educación emocional en el aula.

GeoChronR – an R package to model, analyze and visualize age-uncertain paleoscientific data
Authors: McKay Nicholas P. , Emile-Geay Julien , Khider Deborah
Published: September 2020

Abstract. Chronological uncertainty is a hallmark of the paleosciences. While many tools have been made available to researchers to quantify age uncertainties suitable for various settings and assumptions, disparate tools and output formats often discourage integrative approaches. In addition, associated tasks like propagating age model uncertainties to subsequent analyses, and visualizing the results, have received comparatively little attention in the literature and available software. Here we describe GeoChronR, an open-source R package to facilitate these tasks. GeoChronR is built around emerging data standards for the paleosciences (Linked PaleoData, or LiPD), and offers access to four popular age modeling techniques (Bacon, BChron, Oxcal, BAM). The output of these models is used to support ensemble-aware analyses, quantifying the impact of chronological uncertainties on common analyses like age-uncertain correlation, regression, principal component, and spectral analyses. We present five real-world use cases to illustrate how GeoChronR may be used to facilitate these tasks, to visualize the results in intuitive ways, and to store the results for further analysis, promoting transparency and reusability.
Situación actual del sustrato náhuatl en el español de Nicaragua
Authors: Zamora Zobeyda Catalina
Published: September 2020

En el español de Nicaragua el sustrato náhuatl se presenta como la característica lingüística, en el nivel léxico, más identitaria. La herencia lingüística que dejaron los grupos nahuas en la cultura, específicamente, en la gastronomía, en nombres de plantas, animales y topónimos como nombres de ríos, lagos, montañas y los nombres de ciudades y pueblos es una herencia que, en la actualidad continua vigente, pero que en la medida que pasa el tiempo está siendo absorbida por la variante dominante, esto es, el español estándar. Los cambios culturales y tecnológicos han provocado un desplazamiento de las palabras procedentes o de origen náhuatl, así palabras como: chicle (goma de mascar), chibola (canica), chapa (arete), zacate (hierba), entre otros, son términos de uso común en el español nicaragüense, sin embargo, estos cada vez más están siendo desplazados por los equivalentes en el español estándar.

En la presente ponencia presentaré datos que están relacionados con 6 investigaciones que evalúan la vitalidad léxica de las palabras procedentes de la lengua náhuatl frente a los vocablos del español general o estándar en la variante nicaragüense. El objetivo de esos estudios consistió en identificar la preferencia de uso de la herencia lingüística que dejaron los nahuas, por medio de sustrato, frente a términos del español general o estándar. Por tanto, expondré las consideraciones o preferencias que presentaron los hablantes que participaron en los distintos estudios.
Dos poemas existenciales: Rubén Darío y Joaquín Pasos
Authors: Ruiz Víctor
Published: September 2020

“Canto de esperanza” de Rubén Darío y “Canto de guerra de las cosas” de Joaquín Pasos son dos poemas escritos en épocas y contextos diferentes, pero enlazados por la profunda angustia existencial que padecen los hablantes líricos. En el primero, con una voz altamente profética, Darío se adelanta a los acontecimientos que a inicios del siglo XX asolarán la tierra, el yo lírico de este poema presiente el dolor, la peste y la guerra que se aproximan a la humanidad. En el segundo la crisis existencial que atraviesa el poema está provocada por el horror de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, así como por la codicia y criminalidad de las grandes superpotencias obsesionadas por la destrucción y la muerte.
Boulevard Zuid in Rotterdam: een onderzoek naar het vertrouwen van winkeliers in politie en gemeente

South Boulevard in Rotterdam: a study of trust of shopkeepers in police and local government

In this article, we analyze which aspects of performance theory and the procedural justice-based model are explaining the trust of shopkeepers in the police and local government. Utilizing a survey of 156 shopkeepers and 94 semi-constructed interviews with shopkeepers, which are located at the South Shopping Boulevard in Rotterdam (The Netherlands), the study finds that shopkeepers have a relatively high trust in the police and local government. This is surprising because various attempts in the past 30 years to revive the high street by the government have failed to improve its bad image, as dwindling visitor numbers, poor turnover, limited range of retailers, empty shops and high crime and offence levels show only too plainly. The findings also highlight that ethnic minority respondents have more trust in local government than Dutch shopkeepers. The explanation therefor is sought in the dual frame of reference theory.
SAFE MUSEUMS, SAFE COLLECTIONS. A
SELECTION OF ARTICLES BY PIOTR OGRODZKI,
NIMOZ LIBRARY, VOL. 13, WARSZAWA 2020
Authors: Maniurka Piotr Paweł
Published: September 2020

Safe Museums, Safe Collections. A Selection
of Articles by Piotr Ogrodzki is a publication discussing
the contemporary problems of crimes against heritage
objects. The essays written over the period of 20 years were
systematically published in the ‘Cenne, Bezcenne/Utracone’
journal, the only periodical dedicated to the recovery and
restitutions of the lost national heritage. The publication is
composed of 18 papers characterizing selected threats to
museums and collections. All the presented texts oscillate
within the semantic concepts related to crime and theft in
museums and sacral facilities. The essays aptly juxtapose
legal aspects with the practices of the protection of national
heritage, while the described examples of security measures
have been and will remain applicable also in the future.
The additional value of the publication of Piotr Ogrodzki’s
texts is their translation into English. Although many of the
described thefts of art works have taken place in Poland, the
Author also points to similar circumstances of such crimes
in Europe. Enriched with Piotr Ogrodzki’s short biography
and bibliography, the book begins with the papers by Piotr
Majewski, Paulina Florjanowicz, Kamil Zeidler, and Jacek
Rulewicz. It concludes with the message of Chief Inspector
Adam Grajewski of the Polish Police Headquarters under
a meaningful title In Lieu of an Afterword. Museum Collection
Safety. The publisher of the book, the National Institute
for Museums and Public Collections, NIMOZ, should be
acknowledge for the noble idea of publishing this book,
thus commemorating the outstanding individual that Piotr
Ogrodzki was.
A Formal Analysis of the French Temporal Connective alors
Authors: Bras Myriam , Le Draoulec Anne , Asher Nicolas
Published: September 2020

This paper presents an analysis of the French

adverbial alors (then, at that time, so). Among the

linguistic markers that establish a temporal relation between the

eventualities introduced by two clauses, we define as \textit{temporal

connectives} those that introduce at the same time some sort of

discourse relation. We argue that alors can be such a

connective. Within the framework of Segmented Discourse

Representation Theory, our investigation concerning the discourse

information conveyed by sentence initial alors reveals at

least three sorts of relations close to the Result relation of SDRT.

Alors alone conveys a weak causal relation, which we formalize

using Lewis’ counterfactual, and encode in the discourse relation

Weak-Result. We distinguish it from Strong-Result, which is inferred

when lexical or other contextual information suggests a causal,

discursive link. We also show that alors can, when Weak-Result

is blocked, suggest an inferential relation, which we express using the

weak conditional already present in SDRT.
Complement Tense in Contrast: The SOT parameter in Russian and English
Authors: Grønn Atle , Von Stechow Arnim
Published: September 2020

In an SOT-language like English, ‘past under past’ may have a simultaneous interpretation, i.e., we have temporal agreement. In a non-SOT language like Russian, we only have the shifted interpretation. In English, the temporal morphology of the embedded verb is determined by the matrix tense via a binding chain through verbal quantifiers such as ‘say’ or ‘think’. In Russian, these attitude verbs break the binding chain. The morphology of the embedded verb is determined locally by an embedded relative PRESENT, FUTURE or PAST. We propose that the difference between English and Russian is derived from:

The SOT-parameter:

A language L is an SOT-language if and only if the verbal quantifiers of L transmit temporal features.

Verbal quantifiers quantify over times (e.g. fut. will) or world-times (e.g. verba dicendi).

The paper will take up a recent challenge by Daniel Altschuler and Olga Khomitsevich against existing accounts: verbs of perception and, occasionally, factive verbs in Russian may express simultaneity by ‘past under past’. We will show that the problem is in fact non-existent when the complement is imperfective. Concerning factives, however, we argue that the complement tense is an independent de re past. Finally, perception verbs are normally not verbal quantifiers and hence not subject to the SOT-parameter.
Mapping Innovations in North Germanic with GIS
Authors: Bye Patrik
Published: September 2020

The mapping of innovations, as opposed to taxonomic features, has so far been little used in historical linguistics and dialect geography. Here I show with two examples from Peninsular North Germanic how linguistic theory may cast light on complex mosaics of geographically competing features and how dialect geography can help choose between competing reconstructions. This research builds on a database of more than 50 innovations and over 1000 municipalities in the Nordic countries coupled with mapping software (ArcGIS).
Converbs in translation: the role of Aktionsart in the interpretation and translation of Russian converb constructions into English and Norwegian
Authors: Krave Maria Filiouchkina
Published: September 2020

My ongoing investigation of the role of Aktionsart in the interpretation and translation of Russian sentences with converb constructions (cf. Krave forthc.) suggests that the lexical aspect of a particular converb construction in the source data (Russian) may trigger a specific interpretation restricting the range of possible translation patterns found in the target data (i.e. English and Norwegian). For example, it was found that coordinate clauses (e.g. VP coordination – by means of the conjunction ‘og’ (‘and’) linking the main event and the event expressed by the converb) occur most frequently in the Norwegian translations of the ‘achievement’ type of converbs (including the semelfactive lexical type). This pattern is contrasted with the preference for the Norwegian construction with ‘etter’ (‘after’) followed by either a DP or a Perfect Infinitive construction – ‘å ha’ (‘to have’) + past participle – found in translations of the delimitative Aktionsart of the converb construction.
Activities with culmination
Authors: Oliveira Fátima , Leal António
Published: September 2020

Neste artigo, discutimos um problema debatido há muito sobre a natureza aspetual de certas predicações, classificadas como Activities e Accomplishments (Vendler 1957, e outros). Este problema foi já colocado de maneira informal por vários autores, que assinalaram a complexidade dos Accomplishments, mas só mais recentemente houve tentativas de formalização que explicasse a alternância entre estes tipos aspetuais que é desencadeada pelas propriedades denotacionais de um dos argumentos de certos verbos.

Tendo em conta alguns dados do Português Europeu, propomos que os verbos podem ter informação lexical que é relevante para a determinação da presença ou ausência de telicidade nas predicações em que ocorrem. Assim, certos traços verbais restringem a composição aspetual da predicação, mas há casos em que o perfil aspetual é definido em função do processo com- posicional envolvido, uma vez que o verbo não é marcado com esses traços. Neste trabalho, apenas foi considerada a contribuição de certos argumentos internos tendo em conta a sua natureza denotacional (cumulativo / não cumulativo).

Propomos ainda que, nos casos em que os verbos não são lexicalmente marcados com os traços anteriormente referidos, a predicação não pode ser classificada à partida como Activity ou Accomplishment.

Not many years ago it was usual to comment on the lack of an open lexical-semantic knowledge base, following the lines of Princeton WordNet, but for Portuguese. Today, the landscape has changed significantly, and researchers that need access to this specific kind of resource have not one, but several alternatives to choose from. The present article describes the wordnet-like resources currently available for Portuguese. It provides some context on their origin, creation approach, size and license for utilization. Apart from being an obvious starting point for those looking for a computational resource with information on the meaning of Portuguese words, this article describes the resources available, compares them and lists some plans for future work, sketching ideas for potential collaboration between the projects described.

Perspectivas (qualitativas?) na exploração de grandes corpora

Published: September 2020

Research methods in Education usually rely on qualitative analysis, focusing on samples of individuals or small groups. On the other hand, it is well known that education deals with large scale issues as well: in Brazil, the planning of public policies must take into account the more than 50 million students enrolled in Secondary Education. However, the quantitative approach is viewed with suspicion in Education, leading to very little development of large scale studies. Since these studies can be based on written texts, the dialogue between Education and corpus based approaches becomes highly valuable. In this paper, we briefly present the results of two studies based on corpora specifically designed to foster educational research: (i) a corpus of blogs created and maintained by public schools; (ii) a corpus of teaching materials used in public schools. When discussing the results of these researches, we draw attention to the crucial role played by corpus tools, and to the risks and potentials of the corpus based approach in Education.

Authors: Bick Eckhard , Barreiro Anabela
Published: September 2020

Este artigo apresenta o processo de anonimização automática de entidades mencionadas num novo corpo paralelo pesquisável do domínio jurídico-financeiro para o par de línguas português-inglês. O corpo resulta de memórias de tradução utilizadas em tradução profissional. Contém cerca de 40.000 pares de frases alinhadas, ou seja, frases que são traduções umas das outras. A anotação das entidades mencionadas foi feita com regras especiais da Gramática de Restrições otimizadas para o domínio jurídico-financeiro, que permitiram alcançar uma abrangência balanceada em termos de precisão de quase 90% para as entidades mencionadas candidatas (pessoa, organização, endereço e identificadores pessoais) e uma abrangência consideravelmente superior com modificações heurísticas e otimizadas para a produção. O corpo destina-se a estudos de tradução e à linguística computacional (tradução automática estatística) e será publicamente pesquisável, permitindo ao seu utilizador procurar uma palavra ou expressão e devolvendo os resultados da pesquisa em contexto na língua da busca e na sua tradução.
Semantic priming study of Russian aspect and resultativity
Authors: Batiukova Olga , Bertinetto Pier Marco , Lenci Alessandro , Zarcone Alessandra
Published: September 2020

This paper reports four priming experiments, in which resultative, processual, and delimitative Russian verbs were tested. The experiments were based on the semantic decision task: the participants had to decide whether the target denoted an event / situation with a clear outcome. To assess the impact of morphological cues on the decision latencies, verbs of different morphological complexity (prefixed and unprefixed perfectives) were used. The results obtained suggest that the aspectual feature of resultativity is consistently exploited in semantic priming (processual targets were primed in two experiments), and that the morphological cues facilitate the identification of resultative targets (prefixed perfectives exhibited faster decision latencies than unprefixed perfectives). As far as the delimitative forms are concerned, a category-induction experiment was designed to investigate the subjects’ tendency to group them with resultatives or with processuals, since the delimitatives represent an in-between category. The proportion of yes/no answers confirmed that the speakers place the delimitatives between these two domains, but much closer to the processuals than to the resultatives. These findings support the distinction of boundedness vs. telicity from both the theoretical and the behavioural perspective. The fact that the resultative interpretation of the delimitatives was not ruled out completely for most verbs suggests that, when certain conditions are met (when no cognate resultative form is readily available and when the delimitative is frequent enough), the delimitative can be conceptualized as the perfective counterpart of the basic imperfective, thus taking on the prototypical perfective role (resultativity).

‘bien entendu’ vs ‘naturellement’: deux façons de désubjectiviser le dire
Authors: Vladimirskaia Elena
Published: September 2020

Our study focuses on how the discourse markers (DM) participate in the construction of discursive alterity. In our approach, the DM builds, for an assertion, a guarantor with its own semantics, which is the semantics of the lexical element constituting the basis of DM. Naturellement and bien entendu build referential value which ”disempowers” the speaker as a guarantor of his words. This desubjectivation is realized differently in each case analyzed, and is determined by the semantic identity of the DM. In this article we analyze how the DM build modulated commitment of the speaker in his role as the guarantor, convened by the semantics of the DM in the ”disresponsibilization” of the speaker as a guarantor of his own words.

Feature Names and Identity in Zimbabwe
Authors: Chabata Emmanuel
Published: September 2020

This paper is about feature names in Zimbabwe. It focuses on the role played by place names in defining Zimbabwe, both as a physical entity and as a community of speakers with a remarkable history and a sense of nationhood. The paper thus focuses on two types of place names, that is, those that refer to the natural landscape, such as mountains and rivers, as well as those that refer to man-made features such as roads and streets, hospitals and schools. Regarding names that are bestowed onto the features of the natural landscape, we will look at how some place names vividly describe the outstanding features or characteristics of particular geographical features, that is, the extent to which the names are used as tools in describing the features; the way the eye meets the landscape. We will also look at how some names of physical features are coined in response to the landscape's 'behaviour' or in relation to the link the landscape has with historical event(s). The paper will also look at how the bestowal of commemorative names on Zimbabwean features has been used in concretising the Zimbabwean people's link with the country's history, that is, how Zimbabweans have tried to define themselves as a people through naming some of their popular places after names of the country's heroes and heroines, both living and dead.
Place Names and Identities
Authors: Helleland Botolv
Published: September 2020

This paper discusses various approaches to the topic "place names and identities", addressing the meaning of place names, their role as links to the past as well as their identity-building capacity. The author argues that there is an intimate relationship between place and place name, and he discusses how place names may reflect or give rise to feelings of individual and collective identity attached to the places in question. Three particular personal experiences of the identity role of place names are given, two at the beginning of the paper and one in the conclusion.
The Post-Colonial Identity of Durban
Authors: Koopman Adrian
Published: September 2020

Many scholars have pointed out that when changes in political regimes take place, these are frequently accompanied by politically-inspired changes of place names. In this article, I look at the naming of the South African east coast city Durban, starting with the name Durban itself, and the various suggestions that have been mooted for its replacement. In particular, I look at the Zulu name for Durban (eThekwini — 'the place of the bay') and its suitability as a new name for the city.

The article then goes 'inside' the city and looks at the recent re- naming of a considerable number of Durban's streets, and the public reaction to this. Both the re-naming and the public reaction are placed within the context of re-naming globally.
*En-phrases and Their Morphosyntactic and Semantic Particulars
Authors: Thomason Olga
Published: September 2020

Prepositions constitute a problematic category because they tend to have complex semantic and syntagmatic properties, vary in case governance and are frequently in variation with each other. Reflexes of the Indo-European *en are well attested and remain productive in Greek, Classical Armenian, Gothic and Old Church Slavic among other languages. Correspondences of Greek en/eis with Gothic in, Armenian i and Old Church Slavic vŭ occur in many instances in the canonical gospels of the New Testament. However, Greek en/eis is frequently translated with other constructions in these languages that range from prepositional phrases that contain prepositions non-cognate with *en and nominal constructions to clausal structures. This investigation examines such correlations and points out morphological, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic factors that promote these correspondences. Case syncretism and changes in the prepositional governance are among leading reasons that prompt translators to look for translational means other than the cognate constructions. As expected, differences in the inventory of prepositions available in the languages being examined and diversity in division of semantic space by the prepositional phrases also add to the variety of possible renditions of Greek en/eis. Among pragmatic factors that influence the translation are a compositional marking of a certain concept, complexity of an event/situation being marked, and pragmatic appropriateness of a certain formation.
Phonological Features of the Amharic Variety of South Wəllo
Authors: Yimam Baye
Published: September 2020

This paper examines the phonological features that characterize the Amharic variety spoken in South Wəllo, an area which has been influenced by the diffusion of linguistic and cultural features arising from longstanding contact situations between Semitic and non-Semitic linguistic groups. Data from eight districts of the zone have shown that the South Wəllo variety has 26 consonant and seven vowel phonemes. The consonants are four fewer than that reported of the standard variety. The co-occurrence restrictions of the consonants and the syllable structures are the same as those of the standard variety. However, the phonological rules that operate at morpheme internal, morpheme and word boundary levels are different in the degree of complexity and directionality. These include inter-vocalic lenition of velar stops, word-final weakening of alveo-palatals, coalescence of lowering diphthongs, centering, lowering and fronting of vowels, metathesis of coronals and anteriors, and lexeme specific alternations of homorganic consonants. The description of the facts provides more substantive arguments in favor of the long-held claim that Wəllo constitutes a distinct dialect area.
