The multilingual realities of language reclamation: Working with language contact, diversity, and change in endangered language education
Creators: name: De Korne, Haley
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2017

description: Purist ideologies of language and culture – fostered and encouraged by nation-states and formal schooling in the interest of homogenisation – have become deeply embedded in language-related disciplines, including documentary linguistics, applied linguistics, and education. As a result, dialect variation, multilingual repertoires, and intergenerational change are often viewed as problems by linguists and educators, who promote an elusive monolingual speaker norm which risks excluding learners and multilingual speakers. This paper draws on an ethnographic study of Isthmus Zapotec education in Oaxaca, Mexico, to illustrate strategies for collaborative, context-appropriate endangered language education, as exemplified in the practices of two Zapotec teachers. Reclamation efforts in Oaxaca, as elsewhere in the world, are challenged by the persistence of colonial-origin ideologies that devalue Indigenous languages, view multilingualism as a handicap, and assume that languages should be autonomous and standardised. These teachers respond by prioritising the creation of an affirming and flexible learning community that recognises multilingualism and facilitates negotiation of social tensions around language contact, change, and value.

Language Contexts: Syuba, also known as Kagate (Nepal)
Creators: name: Gawne, Lauren
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2017

description: Syuba is a Tibeto-Burman language of the Central Bodic group spoken in the Ramechhap district of Nepal, and has long been known by the exonym Kagate. Syuba is part of the larger group of Yolmo dialects, and is mutually intelligible with the majority of them, however many Syuba speakers consider their variety to be a separate language. This paper provides an overview of the Syuba language and the community of Syuba speakers. I begin by tracing the history of Syuba speakers (Section 2), focusing on their migration away from the Melamchi Valley. I then look at the relationship of Syuba to Yolmo and other Tibetic varieties (Section 3) as well as the current state of Syuba language use (Section 4). I then outline the contemporary linguistic neighbourhood of the Syuba in Ramechhap (Section 5). This is followed by a discussion of the use of the names Syuba and Kagate by this community (Section 6) and an overview of key literature on Syuba (Section 7). This is followed by a discussion of social features that illustrate the relationship between the Syuba community and other Yolmo groups, or are relevant to ongoing language maintenance (Section 8).

Documentary linguistics: A language philology of the 21st century
Creators: name: Seidel, Frank
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2016

description: This article argues that documentary linguistics’ focus on ‘direct representation of discourse’ requires a broader conceptualization of the field that moves beyond purely linguistic concerns. This article recasts documentary linguistics as a philology, broadly understood as the inquiry into ‘the multifaceted study of texts, languages, and the phenomenon of language itself’ (Turner 2014: ix). The article explores three areas of connection between documentary linguistics and various philological endeavors, namely textual constitution through commentary as relevant to audio-visual language documents, immersive and aesthetic experience of language events performed in an archive, and memory production. The paper touches upon a conception of text which focuses on the interdependency with its commentary, it touches upon the aesthetic qualities of ‘raw data’, and it touches upon the archive as the repository of passive cultural memory. The reconceptualization of documentary linguistics described in this article opens documentary linguistics to non-core linguistic types of language documentation efforts and situates the documentary activities more broadly in the humanistic enterprise of communicating, discussing, studying, and understand human achievements of other times and places.

description: The subword complexity of a finite word $w$ of length $N$ is a function which associates to each $n\le N$ the number of all distinct subwords of $w$ having the length $n$. We define the \emph{maximal complexity} C(w) as the maximum of the subword complexity for $n \in \{1,2,..., N \}$, and the \emph{global maximal complexity} K(N) as the maximum of C(w) for all words $w$ of a fixed length $N$ over a finite alphabet. By R(N) we will denote the set of the values $i$ for which there exits a word of length $N$ having K(N) subwords of length $i$. M(N) represents the number of words of length $N$ whose maximal complexity is equal to the global maximal complexity.
Commentary: Beyond endangerment in Indigenous language reclamation
Creators: name: McCarty, Teresa L.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2018

description: In 1999, Native Hawaiian language scholar-activist Sam No'eau Warner, writing about kuleana – the ‘right, responsibility, and authority of Indigenous peoples to speak and make decisions for themselves’ – pointed out that language issues are ‘always people issues’ (Warner 1999:89). It is not sufficient, Warner stressed, to fight to save a disembodied ‘thing’ called language. Rather, language revitalisation and reclamation are about people working together to (re)build community, (re)connect generations, and shape preferred community futures. All this is work, Warner envisioned, ‘that would lead to true equality, authenticity in the empowerment of a people ... and social justice for all’ (Warner 1999:89). With this as an overarching framework, in the remainder of this commentary I explore three qualities that stand out in these deliberately political acts: relationality, well-being, and self-determination. I focus on these qualities because they provide mutually reciprocal lenses into the complexity of ‘an active practice of supporting and pursuing language reclamation’ (De Korne & Leonard 2017:7)– its complications, commitments, and, as aptly described by Hermes and Engman (2017:62), inevitable ‘messiness’.

Portraits of three language activists in Indigenous language reclamation
Creators: name: Hornberger, Nancy H.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2017

description: In an approach inspired by portraiture and ‘history in person,’ this paper portrays three women Indigenous language activists engaged in language reclamation, highlighting the mutually constitutive nature of language and the enduring struggles of Indigenous peoples that are crucibles for forging their identities. Neri Mamani breaks down longstanding language and identity compartmentalisations in Peru by assuming a personal language policy of using Quechua and engaging in Indigenous practices in public, urban, and literate spaces. Nobuhle Hlongwa teaches a university course on language planning through isiZulu medium and is a key figure in advocating for, negotiating, and implementing multilingual language policy at her university and in South Africa. Though discouraged by the politics of language policy, Hanna Outakoski stays in the fray for the sake of Sámi language, as university teacher of Sámi, activist for Sámi at the municipal level, and researcher in a cross-national multilingual literacy assessment of Sámi youth. Though the portraits give only a glimmer of the rich and complex lives, scholarship, and commitment of the three women, they demonstrate the power of individuals in shaping language landscapes, policy, and assessment; and the implementational and ideological paths and spaces for language reclamation opened up as they do so.

description: Spin-disorder resistivity of Fe and Ni and its temperature dependence are analyzed using noncollinear density functional calculations within the supercell method. Different models of thermal spin disorder are considered, including the mean-field approximation and the nearest-neighbor Heisenberg model. Spin-disorder resistivity is found to depend weakly on magnetic short-range order. If the local moments are kept frozen at their zero-temperature values, very good agreement with experiment is obtained for Fe, but for Ni the resistivity at elevated temperatures is significantly overestimated. Agreement with experiment for Fe is improved if the local moments are iterated to self-consistency. The overestimation of the resistivity for paramagnetic Ni is attributed to the reduction of the local moments down to 0.35 Bohr magnetons. Overall, the results suggest that low-energy spin fluctuations in Fe and Ni are better viewed as classical rotations of local moments rather than quantized spin fluctuations that would require an (S+1)/S correction.

description: One contemporary strategy for reversing language shift undertaken by Indigenous communities includes engaging with educational institutions. In Canada language revitalisation strategies in Indigenous communities increasingly include adult language courses and programmes, often delivered through partnerships between communities and post-secondary institutions. A challenge for revitalisation strategies at the post-secondary level is creating programmes founded in Indigenous educational traditions and values within largely Euro-Western focused institutions that have themselves played a role in the colonisation of Indigenous communities. A component of shifting the legacy of colonial power relations and building Indigenous-based programmes in post-secondary institutions is to ensure these programmes are explicitly informed by, support, and respond to community needs, goals and perspectives. Here we provide a brief description of the Indigenous language revitalisation programmes offered at the University of Victoria (Canada), which seek to support the creation of new adult speakers and teachers. Our description begins with the context for the development of these programmes, and then focuses on exemplifying and discussing an Indigenous Language Teachers’ Package curriculum resource developed to support community-based language instructors as they work towards meeting their students’ proficiency-building goals. By outlining some of the complex factors taken into consideration, challenges faced, and sharing one university team’s...

The role of elder speakers in language revitalisation
Creators: name: Rouvier, Ruth
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2017

description: Elder speakers are generally seen as resources for language revitalisation and reclamation (LR). However, it is less common to consider how elder speakers themselves can benefit from the LR process, and the language needs of elder speakers are rarely prioritised in the design of LR efforts. I argue that the role of elder speakers in LR is much greater and more complicated than that of ‘resources’ to the process, and that the needs of elder speakers as beneficiaries of LR must be considered. Drawing on my experience with a community-based language documentation project, I show that barriers to elder speaker participation may follow from an assumption that LR is ‘for’ current language learners and future generations only. I demonstrate that inclusion of elder speakers’ needs in the development of LR methods, priorities, and goals has the potential to improve outcomes community-wide. Integrating elder speakers’ language needs and desires into the structure of a community-led language documentation project helped to address elders’ concerns, and yielded more diverse and higher-quality documentation and pedagogical materials than had been originally envisioned.

Resounding the clarion call: Indigenous language learners and documentation

Year: 2017

description: In this paper we discuss a five-year Ojibwemowin documentation and description project and illustrate how we adapted the documentation agenda in response to reclamation goals, in particular, with an eye to the needs of language learners. The science of documentation no longer stops at preservation; the groundswell of demand for respect for the intellectual and linguistic rights of Indigenous peoples must be considered. There is a call to action by and for speakers of Indigenous endangered languages, although how that action should occur is often unclear. This project offers one case to illustrate the negotiation of relationships among participants who held multiple roles (Elders/speakers, applied linguists, advanced language learners– many are tribal and community members and some work for universities) to show how consideration of Indigenous peoples’ intellectual and linguistic rights can shape a documentation project for language reclamation. We critically examine the processes and priorities of Anishinaabe language learners who have skills to document conversations and produce linguistic transcriptions. We discuss how in this process new priorities for documentation emerged, including a focus on everyday language, meaning-making, inclusive documentation norms, and collaborative analysis. This represents a traversing of discourses: our research engaged with the dominant paradigms for documentation funding...

Resisting rhetorics of language endangerment: Reclamation through Indigenous language survivance
Creators: name: Davis, Jenny L.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2017

description: Hill (2002) (and the robust discussions it inspired) demonstrated the importance of looking carefully at the rhetorics used by academics when discussing Indigenous and endangered languages. Fifteen years later this still remains a subject of concern. In this article I examine how three related strategies are increasingly employed in both academic and public domains: Linguistic extraction is the process of discussing languages and language reclamation movements removed from the personal lives, communicative practices, and embodied experiences in which they inherently are embedded, while the erasure of colonial agency minimises the historical and ongoing causes of language endangerment and dormancy, sometimes to the extent of misattributing agency for such realities onto Indigenous communities themselves. Lasting is a discursive process through which Indigenous populations are framed as ‘vanishing’, first by defining Indians based on a singular characteristic, and then lamenting the passing of the ‘last’ Indians assumed to have had that single defining characteristic (O’Brien 2010). I explore the implications of these rhetorics for both endangered language movements and the communities at the center of those movements, with a particular emphasis on the discursive tactics that resist these strategies which are utilised by Indigenous community members and language activists.

Abstract:

What is the role of privacy and consent in social media research data? What are the potential political, institutional, and ethical issues that researchers should consider when developing projects that utilize social media data? Social media-based research has proliferated in recent years, and as researchers increasingly view social media platforms as a source of valuable and easily mined data, this trend is accelerating. However, the norms, policies, and ethical considerations that regulate the use of these data remain confusing and vague. This webinar will overview the current political, legal, and ethical issues surrounding social media based research. It will also discuss practical steps that researchers and those in research support roles can take to minimize the potential risks that arise when using social media data. Such steps include developing plans to safeguard participant privacy and consent, and understanding Terms of Service or User Agreements.
Producing language reclamation by decolonising ‘language’
Creators: name: Leonard, Wesley Y.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2017

description: Indigenous language documentation and description efforts are increasingly designed to support community decolonisation goals, particularly with respect to implementing practices that will facilitate the use of the resulting products in revitalisation efforts. However, the field of Linguistics may inadvertently reinforce its colonial legacy (Errington 2008) when researchers produce their work around linguistic rather than cultural units, categorise and theorise Indigenous languages using norms for major global languages, or default to Western constructs of what ‘language’ is when engaging in Indigenous language research, teaching, and advocacy. Results of this include ineffective language learning materials and ill feelings toward linguists by Indigenous community members. Similarly, the success of internally-operated Indigenous community language programs is also informed by the integration of community needs and worldviews into these efforts. Using insights from Native Americans who are engaged in language programs, I exemplify these issues and argue for a paradigm of language reclamation, which moves beyond a focus on direct language measures such as creating new speakers (language revitalisation), to incorporate community epistemologies such as how ‘language’ is defined and given sociocultural meaning. I show how a reclamation framework links community needs to language research and teaching, and encourage its wider adoption.

Reclaiming languages: Contesting and decolonising ‘language endangerment’ from the ground up
Creators: name: De Korne, Haley
name: Leonard, Wesley Y.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2017

description: The papers in this volume contribute to the increasingly interdisciplinary discussion about ways to address language endangerment by examining language reclamation strategies, or place-specific actions through which individuals and/or groups are countering forms of marginalisation experienced by minority language speakers and communities. Focused on such responses from the ground up, the papers illustrate practices through which linguists, educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders may contribute to or directly engage in initiatives that support the needs and goals of language communities. These ground-up strategies emerge from and respond to the pressures and opportunities of specific contexts, and represent some of the possible answers and actions aimed at shifting power imbalances in situations of language endangerment. In taking this approach, the papers in this volume critically examine the movement to revitalise endangered languages, which is often associated with certain discourses and knowledge production practices that are characteristic of language documentation, categorisation, and ethnic essentialism – arguably the most publicly visible responses to language endangerment on a global scale.

Linguistic fieldwork: perception, preparation, and practice
Creators: name: Brickell, Timothy C.
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2018

description: The challenging and multidisciplinary nature of documentary and descriptive linguistic fieldwork requires that linguists have a wide array of practical, interpersonal, and technological skills, in addition to theoretical and analytical linguistic knowledge. The negative outcomes which occur when fieldworkers lack requisite preparation include low-quality data (Nathan 2010, 2011:263), health problems (Newman 2009) or emotional distress (Macaulay 2004), and lack of involvement of speech community members in the documentation process (Chelliah & De Reuse 2011:163). This paper discusses academic perceptions and the difficulty of defining 'standard' fieldwork, the aims of contemporary language documentation and description in comparison to earlier traditions of descriptive linguistic fieldwork, training and preparation for postgraduate students, and problems which may result if training is insufficient. An examination of these issues does not provide much cause for optimism. While in public discourse linguists recognise a broad range of fieldwork experiences, outdated stereotypes still exist. Furthermore, despite some individual positive policies, overall, Australian universities lack robust specialised frameworks for fieldwork preparation, despite publications discussing the issue (Howell 1990; Macaulay 2004; Newman 2009). Increased awareness of the issues and improvements to existing policies are necessary in order to achieve best-practice approaches, resulting in more-capable fieldworkers, increased research output, and higher-quality...

Within the RS 2 model we also examine and contrast in detail the scalar and vector position-space correlators at intermediate and large distances. Unitarity of brane-to-brane scattering amplitudes is seen to imply a necessary and sufficient condition on the positivity of the bulk mass, which leads to the well-known unitarity bound on vector operators in a CFT.

description: The Malua language is one of more than 30 endangered Oceanic languages spoken on Malekula Island in Vanuatu. Malua is locally understood to have two varieties, one spoken in Malua Bay and the other in Espiegles Bay. Little was known about Malua until linguistic research was initiated with the communities in 2012. In this paper, ethnographic observations, linguistic field notes, and language attitude interviews are reported to build up a picture of the Malua language in context. The two Malua communities converted to Seventh Day Adventism some decades ago, and today blend traditional and modern ways of living. While relying on forest resources for shelter and fuel, and growing most of their own food, the Malua people also participate in market gardening and cash-cropping, and make use of modern building materials, textiles, and store-bought foods. Interviewees outlined positive attitudes towards the language, an appreciation of its intrinsic value, and a desire to see the language and associated traditional knowledge included in formal education. However, the language is under threat due to the increasing use of Bislama (Melanesian Pidgin). Bislama is now the dominant language of some homes, and it has recently been introduced as the medium of instruction for the...

Documenting language shift and loss: Bajuni in Somalia
Creators: name: Nurse, Derek
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2018

description: This paper documents the drastic reduction to endangered status of the Bajuni dialect of Swahili in southern Somalia. The data and analysis indicate that the decline started in the 1960s. The data consists of recordings of official immigration interviews with 152 refugees born between 1960 and 2000. Examination of a set of Bajuni phonological, morphological, and lexical features shows a progressive loss of the features, starting in the 1960s and gaining speed in the 1970s. Some of the oldest interviewees still spoke Bajuni, albeit not as their parents. Younger Bajunis no longer speak Bajuni but use Swahili with limited embedded Bajuni material. A few now only speak Swahili with no trace of Bajuni. The Bajuni community in Somalia has undergone a language shift from Bajuni to Swahili. There are two purposes for this paper. The first is to document decline, so while it has not been possible to document in detail many cases of drastic language decline elsewhere, it can be done in this instance because the author had access to a long, continuous stream of interviews with refugee applicants. Second, it provides an objective account and overview of what emerged from the stream of interviews. This is necessary because...

description: The problem of anomalous diffusion in momentum space is considered for plasma-like systems on the basis of a new collision integral, which is appropriate for consideration of the probability transition function (PTF) with long tails in momentum space. The generalized Fokker-Planck equation for description of diffusion (in momentum space) of particles (ions, grains etc.) in a stochastic system of light particles (electrons, or electrons and ions, respectively) is applied to the evolution of the momentum particle distribution in a plasma. In a plasma the developed approach is also applicable to the diffusion of particles with an arbitrary mass relation, due to the small characteristic momentum transfer. The cases of an exponentially decreasing in momentum space (including the Boltzmann-like) kernel in the PT-function, as well as the more general kernels, which create the anomalous diffusion in velocity space due to the long tail in the PT-function, are considered. Effective friction and diffusion coefficients for plasma-like systems are found.

description: The synchrotron light emission is a radiation source covering a large energy domain from IR to x-ray energies, with an accurate sub-nanosecond time structure determined by the temporal and the physical structure of the stored electron bunches. With proper detectors, the synchrotron radiation emission can be used to perform spectroscopic experiments with very high time and spatial resolution but also to investigate the physical structure of the bunches. We present here the first characterization of the synchrotron light emission of DAΦNE in the midIR domain with a resolution time of few ns. Experiments have been performed using the SINBAD beamline, characterizing the emission of 105 bunches stored in the electron ring of the DAΦNE collider. With a small uncooled infrared detector optimized to work at a wavelength of 10.6 μm we observed the gap between individual bunches separated by about 8 ns, a time equivalent to a frequency of 125 MHz.

description: A new instrument designed to measure with high accuracy and without any bias the attenuation length of light in clean water (NERONE) is presented. Several new technical solutions have been used in the design, including a small and cheap motor for deep sea water. The instrument has been debugged during four cruises, from 2001 to 2005. First results are presented, obtained in June 2006 in the Catania test site at a depth of 2000 m. Although some improvement is still necessary, the performance of the instrument was very satisfactory.
Some physics of the two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory: Lattice Monte Carlo study

description: We illustrate some physical application of a lattice formulation of the two-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with a (small) supersymmetry breaking scalar mass. Two aspects, power-like behavior of certain correlation functions (which implies the absence of the mass gap) and the static potential $V(R)$ between probe charges in the fundamental representation, are considered. For the latter, for $R\lesssim1/g$, we observe a linear confining potential with a finite string tension. This confining behavior appears distinct from a theoretical conjecture that a probe charge in the fundamental representation is screened in two-dimensional gauge theory with an adjoint massless fermion, although the static potential for $R\gtrsim1/g$ has to be systematically explored to conclude real asymptotic behavior in large distance.

description: We establish the behavior of the energy of minimizers of non-local Ginzburg-Landau energies with Coulomb repulsion in two space dimensions near the onset of multi-droplet patterns. Under suitable scaling of the background charge density with vanishing surface tension the non-local Ginzburg-Landau energy becomes asymptotically equivalent to a sharp interface energy with screened Coulomb interaction. Near the onset the minimizers of the sharp interface energy consist of nearly identical circular droplets of small size separated by large distances. In the limit the droplets become uniformly distributed throughout the domain. The precise asymptotic limits of the bifurcation threshold, the minimal energy, the droplet radii, and the droplet density are obtained.

Language Contexts: Vatlongos, Southeast Ambrym (Vanuatu)
Creators: name: Ridge, Eleanor
Publisher: name: Language Documentation and Description
Year: 2018

description: Vatlongos, known as Southeast Ambrym in previous literature, is an Oceanic language spoken by somewhere between 2500 and 3700 speakers in Vanuatu. As well as being spoken in the Southeast region of Ambrym island, it is spoken by a relocated community outside the capital of Vanuatu, Port Vila, on Efate island. One of the villages on Ambrym, Endu, speaks a different dialect and has close cultural links to speakers of North Ambrym languages. This article begins by summarising prior research on the context of Vatlongos language, then reports the results of a sociolinguistic survey taking in demographic factors, language repertoires and language attitudes in the three communities. It concludes by assessing the vitality of Vatlongos, distinguishing its status in each speaker community.
