title: The history of the Iraq Levies 1915-1932.
Creators: name: Young, Robert Vernon Joseph
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1997

description: This thesis is concerned with the origins and developments of a British-initiated force, known as "The Iraq Levies", which was raised during the Mesopotamian campaign of the First World War. This is a subject which had previously received very little rigorous historical study. The Force began with some forty mounted Arab scouts, recruited from Zubair in southern Mesopotamia by the Field Intelligence unit of the Imperial Expeditionary Force (I.E.F. 'D') in July 1915. By May 1922, the Force had expanded to approximately 6,000 officers and men, as against a planned 7,500 at the Cairo Conference. A survey of the performance and military background of several British officers who served with the Levies, was considered worthy of study. Mostly they came from the Indian Army, and thus were experienced in what may be described as "political soldiering" - an invaluable qualification for their service in Iraq. It was felt important that the different ethnic backgrounds and political aspirations, as well as religious loyalties represented in the ranks of the Levies required investigation to assist in an understanding of their motivation and service. Without a detailed review of these factors, it would be difficult to comprehend how a force which could be considered to owe its allegiance to its pay-masters, could undertake the task of internal security in so volatile a region as that of Iraq, especially during and after the First World War. When its political problems, both internal and external, had to be resolved by the British government which became the mandatory power. This thesis ends with the achievement of Iraq's independence in 1932. The Levies, however, were not finally disbanded until May 1955. That final section of their history was not to be without drama and incident; but it awaits the attention of another student who is interested in the nature and evolution of British Imperial Forces in the Middle East. Their day has now ended, but this thesis hopes to illuminate a little of their history and significance.
title: The creation of a legendary Orientalist : Sir John Woodroffe as Arthur Avalon in Calcutta.
Creators: name: Taylor, K.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: The thesis studies the collaboration between Sir John Woodroffe and his Bengali friend Atal Bihari Ghose. Together they created the pseudonymous orientalist Arthur Avalon who produced a considerable volume of works on Tantra from 1913 onwards, and brought about a revolution in attitudes to this previously despised branch of the Hindu religion. Woodroffe became identified with Avalon in the public eye, but Ghose was Woodroffe's chief source of the textual knowledge in which 'Arthur Avalon' appeared to be deeply versed. I try to assess Woodroffe's own relationship to Sanskrit and to the texts, and highlight his very extensive use of secondary sources and the knowledge of other Indian people besides Ghose. The thesis also focuses on Woodroffe's social identity in Calcutta which formed the context in which he 'was' Arthur Avalon. To a very unusual degree for someone with a high position under the empire, Woodroffe the High Court Judge of Calcutta Indianized himself, sometimes wearing Indian dress in social or religious contexts, but above all absorbing the world of the Bengali intellectuals of his time, among whom his popularity was widely attested. He had his critics, but he also had an enthusiastic coterie of admirers who were attracted by his Indian nationalism, to which his Tantric studies and supposed Sanskrit learning formed an important adjunct. He can be placed, then, alongside other prominent British supporters of nationalism of the time, such as Annie Besant, Nivedita, and C.F. Andrews. But Woodroffe possibly entered even more deeply into Hinduism (for a time at least), for he is reported to have taken initiation from a Tantric guru and to have practised Tantric sdhani in some form. Best known for The Serpent Power, the book which introduced Kundalini yoga to the west, Woodroffe and Ghose turned the image of Tantra around, from that of a despised magical and orgiastic cult, into a refined spiritual philosophy which greatly enhanced the attraction of Hinduism to later generations of Westerners. This thesis also studies Avalon's 'apologetic' themes by which he made Tantra, first acceptable, then fashionable.

title: Cultural differences in social values orientation

Subjects: Cooperativeness

Social values

description: Social values orientation (SVO) refers to how an individual prefers to split resources between themselves and another person. Three identified and well-studied SVO's include individualist, competitive, and cooperative orientations (Knight, 1981; Van Lange, De Bruin, Otten, & Joireman, 1997). Two distinct motivations for cooperative behavior - egalitarianism and generosity - have often been conflated in SVO research. A newly developed methodology using simple resource allocation games allows researchers to disentangle these cooperative motives (Fehr, Bernhard, & Rockenbach, 2008). SVO is known to relate closely to cultural values, and cultural collectivists are more cooperative than cultural individualists, including during childhood (e.g., House et al., 2013, Knight, Bernal, & Carlo, 1995, Strand, Pula, & Downs, 2015). The present study was the first to examine whether cooperative behavior among cultural collectivist preschool-age children is more animated by generosity or egalitarianism, and cross-cultural comparisons were made with individualist and mixed background children. The Fehr and colleagues (2008) resource allocation task was administered to participants in their Head Start classrooms, and behavioral adjustment was measured using the teacher-report Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) (Goodman, 1994). Data were analyzed using a series of chi-square tests of significance and independent samples t-tests to compare group differences in regard to SVO. To test for a relationship between SVO and behavioral functioning in the classroom, and whether that relationship depends upon culture, an ANOVA and MANCOVA were conducted. Results indicating that cooperativeness is more common for collectivists were consistent with the literature, and tentative support was found for generosity as the motive for cooperative behavior among collectivists.
title: A transformational treatment of Hindi verbal syntax.
Creators: name: Kachru, Y.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1965

description: After acknowledgments and a general index, the thesis opens with an introductory chapter which gives a brief outline of the theory and model of grammatical description upon which this study is based, and reviews the previous work on Hindi verbal syntax. This is followed by the two main chapters of the work. In chapter 2 Hindi sentence structure and the sub-classes of verb which are relevant for the for the fornulatioa of the Constituent Structure rules are discussed, before the rules thenselves are set out. Chapter 5 first gives some of the singuiary transformations, the nominalization, adjectivalization and adverbialization rules follow, and the chapter ends with the singulary transformational rules. The Appendix following these three chapters comprises a lexicon which lives a list of Hindi verbs with their appropriate syntactic, selectional and semantic features, and lists of the other lexical categories with only their selectional features. The thesis ends with a bibliography of works on general linguistic theory and the model of Transformational - Generative Crammar on the one hand, and on Hindi language on the other.
title: A unified theory of inherited features.
Creators: name: Evans, H.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1998

description: There are two thrusts to this dissertation, one backward-looking, one forward. The first is that HPSG is a better minimalist theory than is attainable for the Principles and Parameters framework, given its programmatic goals and its commitment to move alpha as the central explanatory mechanism. The second is that there should be no artificial dichotomy between the inherited features which participate in unbounded dependencies. In the introductory chapter, I point out certain fundamental problems relating to the assumption that grammaticality is determined via conditions on movement operations, and provide a sketch of the importance of structure-sharing in HPSG, a theory which makes no appeal to movement. In chapter one, I present the evidence for a second wh-question feature, and extend Johnson and Lappin's treatment to account for the important "Subjacency in Japanese" data. In chapter two, I indicate certain flaws in Johnson and Lappin's approach, related to the fact that their account is not "head-driven" in having inherited features amalgamated through selecting heads. I suggest that this may be rectified while preserving a unified account of inheritance if LOCAL is retired, allowing full synsem structure-sharing between fillers and gaps. In chapter three, I present a feature amalgamation principle, and a revised NONLOCAL feature principle in order to determine conditions on inheritance. I point out severe difficulties associated with the decision to abandon a unified treatment of NONLOCAL features. In chapter, four, I present a cross-linguistic treatment of data relating to wh-question sentences in which I demonstrate the advantages of employing alternative repositories for the amalgamation of wh-question features -- rather than a two-level approach in which a wh-feature is reentrant as a syntactic trigger. This offers a natural extension of the J&L account, including a unified explanation of pied-piping and the restricted wh-in situ option in English, and Japanese Subjacency. In Chapter Five, I review certain difficulties with the account, and suggest that it is necessary to have more generalized lexical binding of SLASH in order to successfully dispense with complementizers. I show that the main claims, that NONLOCAL features are subject to amalgamation by selecting heads, with inheritance via structure-sharing, are sound and provide the basis for further research.
title: The Khilafat Movement in India.,1919-1924.
Creators: name: Qureshi, M. N.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: This thesis is an attempt to examine the ferment among Indian Muslims consequent to the threatened dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the First World War, which for six years dominated the political scene of the Sub-continent. It essentially analyses the various cross-ourrents which converged to make the Khilafat movement so turbulent. The Introductory Chapter discusses, in the light of contemporary events, the gradual involvement of Indo-Muslim sentiment with the Ottoman Khilafat and with the ideal of pan-Islamism until the Armistice of December I918. Chapter II (December 1918-July I920) studies the demand for the preservation of status quo ante bellum for Turkey as the Allied Powers begin to re-draw her map, the formation of the Central Khilafat Committee, the approaches to the Indian and the Allied Governments, and the search for an effective formula in concert with the Hindus resulting in the scheme of non-co-operation. Chapter III (May 1920-November I920) discusses the voluntary withdrawal (hijrat) in the classical Islamic tradition of between fifty and sixty thousand Muslims from India to neighbouring Afghanistan. Chapter IV (August 1920-March 1922) examines the course and failure of the non-co-operation experiment, together with other attempts to force a revision of the stringent Treaty of Sevres. Chapter V (February 1922-June 1923) deals with the aftermath of non-co-operation, the break-up of Hindu-Muslim entente and the effects on the Khilafat movement of the developments in the Near and the Middle East. Lastly, Chapter VI (July 1923-December 1924) discusses the weakening of the movement after the conclusion of the Treaty of Lausanne in July 1923, and its final collapse as a result of the abolition of the Khilafat and the expulsion of the Sultan from Turkey in March 1924. It also examines the re-emergence of the All-India Muslim League as a force in Muslim politics and briefly looks into the phase when the movement, at the time of the Hedjaz crisis, begins to acquire an increasingly academic character which lingers on into the 1930s.
title: Nguyen Al Quoc, the Comitern and the Vietnamese Communist Movement, 1919-1941.
Creators: name: Quinn-Judge, S. W.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2001

description: This thesis is an examination of Nguyen Ai Quoc's (Ho Chi Minh's) role in transmitting communism to Vietnam in the period between the First and Second World Wars. As the Third International (Comintern) provided the theory and much of the organizational support for this task, it is also a study of the Comintern's changing policies towards revolution in colonial countries. It has grown out of research in the Moscow archives of the Comintern, which first became available to researchers in late 1991-1992. It also makes extensive use of the French colonial archives at the Centre d'Archives d'Outre-Mer in Aix-en-Provence. This study begins with Nguyen Ai Quoc's appearance in Paris in 1919, when he lobbied the Paris Peace Conference for greater Vietnamese freedom and was then drawn into the political world of the French left. It follows his first contacts with the Comintern in Moscow (1923- 1924), through his two-year sojourn in Canton during the Communist-Guomindang United Front, when he established the first training courses for Vietnamese revolutionaries. Chapters IV and V cover his return to Asia in mid-1928, his founding of the Vietnamese Communist Party in 1930, and the 1930-31 insurrectionary movement in Vietnam. Chapter Six deals with his Jime 1931 arrest and his long period of political inactivity in Moscow, from mid-1934 until the autumn of 1938. The final chapter covers his return to southern China and his efforts to regain his influence in the Vietnamese communist movement from 1939 to 1941. The thesis concludes that, with the benefit of the documentary evidence now available, it is necessary to readjust the perception of Nguyen Ai Quoc as an influential communist during his early political career. Initially he received little financial support from Moscow and he never became a member of the Comintern Executive Committee. Nor did he exist entirely within the world of the Comintern. Although the latter was an essential force in the creation of Vietnamese communism, there were other factors which shaped its growth, including family and regional ties, as well as Chinese and French left-wing politics.
title: Intonation in Cantonese.
Creators: name: Flynn, Choi-Yeung-Chang
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2001

description: This thesis develops a system for describing intonation in Cantonese, a language having six phonological tones employing both pitch and slope. It analyses the utterance intonation contour into major intonation units, intonation units and feet. It defines what criteria those units meet and how they relate to each other. The intonation contours, constructed with a string of lexical tones, are described in terms of prosodic units which separate themselves in terms of pitch height and pitch span. The demarcation of the units is an innovation of the thesis. The different F0 values of identical phonological tones in an utterance are found to be in gradual descent if they are within an intonation group, and an intonation group is depicted more clearly when the two fitted lines which cover the top and the bottom are parallel and declined. A major intonation group is the largest prosodic unit in utterances. It is decided by a larger size of resetting of pitch span. An intonation group and a major intonation group each represent a unit of information which is semantically and syntactically coherent. The most prominent syllable in an intonation group is the tonic. An acoustic analysis of all possible combinations of the lexical tones of disyllabic and trisyllabic tonal sequences shows that tonal coarticulation is an important factor in modifying the F0 contours. The modification can affect both the pitch height and the slope of the F0 contours, and is also realised in both anticipatory and carryover effects. Prominence is examined, both at the level of words and of utterances, and a description of its prosodic parameters is developed with supporting evidence from the discussion of tonics.

title: Mechanisms of control over compliance with international law for the protection of the Mediterranean Sea against pollution.
Creators: name: Roumeliotou, V.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2001

description: This study is concerned with the legal mechanisms and institutional arrangements established to control compliance with commitments undertaken in treaty form by Mediterranean States, with a view at protecting the marine environment from various sources of pollution. Part I begins with a brief presentation of the state of the Mediterranean environment, both natural and socio-economic. There follows a consideration and assessment of the nature and extent of, and the relationship between, environmental obligations arising under the relevant instruments adopted at the global, regional and sub-regional level, in order to identify the implications thereof for the design and application of the said mechanisms and arrangements. In Part II, the treatment of the core issue begins with an initial review of the evolution of compliance-control mechanisms under general international, and especially environmental, law, followed by a critical examination of the legal arrangements - actually or potentially - used in the Mediterranean to ensure compliance with the said body of law. In this context, a distinction is made between the traditional models, namely the state responsibility and civil liability approach to compliance control and the comprehensive institutional model, and the emerging approaches, namely provision of financial and technical assistance as compliance incentives, and compliance control and enforcement under national law. Finally, this thesis argues that the most constructive way to encourage observance of international marine pollution standards in the region in the long term is through the intervention of international law towards developing appropriate procedural means for follow up and enforcement within domestic legal systems, while, in the short term, efforts should concentrate at establishing - or refining - comprehensive institutional mechanisms that would necessarily accommodate arrangements for financial and technical assistance dependent on effective compliance.
title: Painting awareness : A study into the use of exotic cultural traditions by the artists of the Emperor Akbar's Khamsa of Nizami.
Creators: name: Minissale, G.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2001

description: The main objective of this doctoral research is to analyse a group of miniature paintings produced between 1593 and 1595 for the Mughal Indian Emperor Akbar, who reigned from 1556 to 1605. These miniatures are illustrations in a manuscript of five epic poems (known as the Khamsa) by the Persian poet NiZami (1141-1209). This manuscript is now in the British Library (Or. 12, 208). It is the argument of this thesis that more than any other Mughal illustrated manuscript, the painting in the Khamsa exemplifies a refined synthesis of the artistic traditions of three major cultures with which the Mughals came into contact: the European, Persian and earlier Indian. Many elements in the illustrations may be traced back to these origins. The miniatures represent the finest of Akbar period painting. This is true in terms of finish and technique but the paintings of the Khamsa of NiZami are also important because they mark the use of a new visual language in painting to convey complex thoughts and ideas. Knowledge of other artistic traditions led the Mughals to adjust their own painting. The thesis demonstrates that the paintings of the Khamsa of NiZami are an extraordinary record of the elevated status of the art of painting at the Mughal court.
title: The representation of ethnic minorities in twentieth century Turkish fiction.
Creators: name: Whitehouse, Ruth Margaret
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2001

description: During the first half of the twentieth century, the ethnically segmented Ottoman empire was transformed into a nation state of Turkish citizens. This thesis explores and evaluates the representation of ethnic minorities in Turkish fiction against a background of demographic, political, and social change. Within this context, novels and short stories of selected writers have been studied with a view to determining differences of experience, perception and attitude. The writers include: Huseyin Rahmi Gurpmar, Halide Edip Adivar, Resat Nuri Guntekin, Halikamas Balikcisi, Orhan Kemal, Haldun Taner, Sait Faik, and Yasar Kemal. The thesis comprises an introduction, three chapters and a conclusion. The Introduction gives a brief overview of historical events relating to demographic changes and ethnic minority status, and looks at the popular perception of minorities in the Ottoman performance arts. Chapter One is a study of literature written before, during, and after the Balkan wars, the First World War, and the Turkish War of Liberation. Chapter Two continues with a study of literature published during the years leading up to multi-party democracy. Chapter Three traces the emergence of an Anatolian literary perspective in which, with a few exceptions, ethnic issues were generally ignored or suppressed, and observes the gradual re-emergence of ethnic identity in Turkish literature. The conclusion evaluates the extent to which the selected authors; a) reflect the changing ethnic composition of Turkish society during the last century; b) display signs of bias or prejudice in their representations of ethnic minority characters; c) use ethnic minorities as a device to further or enhance the literary quality of their work.
The Christologies of the Hesychast Controversy
Creators: name: Stauffer, Daniel
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: In this dissertation, an argument is made that the two main parties in the hesychast controversy–the Palamites and the anti-Palamites–had meaningfully different Christologies. While most research on the theology of the hesychast controversy has focused on the metaphysics of Gregory Palamas’s distinction between God’s essence and His energies, little work has been done on how the various approaches to this distinction play out in different theologies of Christ. This study seeks to understand whether Palamas and his disciples arrived at a Christology different from that of their opponents, as well as asking which of the two parties was more faithful to the Christology of Maximus the Confessor and John of Damascus, who in fourteenth-century Byzantium were seen as important norms of Christological belief. After establishing several fundamental aspects of Maximus’s and John’s Christologies that would be important to the hesychast controversy, this study proceeds to compare how various pairs of Palamites and anti-Palamites differently approach the person of Christ in their theology. The third chapter examines Gregory Palamas and Gregory Akindynos, the fourth Nikephoros Gregoras and Philotheos Kokkinos, and the sixth Prochoros Kydones and John VI Kantakouzenos. A brief detour is made in the fifth chapter to examine the exclusively anti-Palamite dispute between Isaac Argyros and Theodore Dexios.
This study concludes not only that the Palamites and anti-Palamites ended up with different Christologies but also that the Palamites were more faithful to the Christologies of Maximus and John of Damascus. In particular, the Palamites articulated a more unitive Christology focused on the deification of Christ’s humanity whereas the anti-Palamites struggled to maintain the unity of Christ while also preserving a strict dichotomy between his humanity and divinity. The Palamites successfully incorporated the idea of Christ’s “theandric activity”—but the anti-Palamites never fully grasped the synergy of divinity and humanity in Christ.
title: Art, archaeology and the early kingdoms in the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra: c. 400-1400 A.D.
Creators: name: Shuhaimi, Nik Hassan
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1984

description: This study is an attempt to establish, the nature of the Buddhist sculpture found in Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia and Peninsular Thailand. From this, it is hoped that new light will he thrown on the relationships between Palembang, the assumed capital of Srivijayan Empire, and other areas, the consequent effects upon the flucutations of power of Palembang over other areas, and the role of Palembang as a source for Mahayana Buddhism expansion in South East Asia. The thesis is divided into seven chapters. In the first chapter, the aim of the study is set out, with a survey of past work on Srivijaya and finally the approach to be undertaken. The second chapter is a survey of the topography and archaeology of the sites from where the sculptures were found, while the third chapter discusses the rise of local workshops producing Buddhist images in composite forms of style, traces their origins. The fourth chapter is the study of the oldest Avalokitesvara image in the Srivijayan Empire. The fifth chapter establishes the beginnings of the stylistic relationships between Palembang and the Peninsula which culminate in the production of masterpieces, such as those found in Jaiya, that may be dated to the middle of the 9th century A.D. In this chapter too the significance of the Avalokitesvara images with tiger symbols are discussed. The sixth chapter deals with images which were influenced by Indo-Javanese and later by Cola art and considers their implications. The arguments are illustrated and supported by photographs, maps and plans.
title: Tradition and individual creativity in Enauni Igbo tales.
Creators: name: Okoh, Onweazu Nkem
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1984

description: This thesis is an attempt to demonstrate that while great regard is paid by the Enuani Igbo to 'tradition' in oral narrative performance, there is in fact a considerable scope for individual creativity. After the Introduction (Chapter 1), the study is divided into three major parts: Part One, 'Some traditional elements of performance', (Chapters 2, 3 and 4) examines features of the narrative tradition shared by all performers. Part Two, 'Tradition and the individual artist' (Chapters 5, 6 and 7) comprises an investigation of the nature of literary creativity in this society, based mainly on a detailed study of one of the most outstanding Enuani artists, Udene Okohai. The main features of Okohai's innovative narrative technique are investigated, especially that of the 'mixed mode', which is unique to him. Part Three, 'Evaluation', (Chapters 8 and 9) draws substantially upon data recorded during story-telling sessions, interviews and conversations on how the Enuani themselves conceive of their oral tales (or, more specifically their performance). While some desirable features of performances are examined, the emphasis here is on the Enuani notion of 'tradition'. This thesis concludes by arguing that the two important demands made on the Enuani artist - that he adhere strictly to 'tradition' and that he exercise his creative freedom within the framework of the traditional style - are by no means opposed to each other. Every good tale performance displays a balance between tradition and individual creativity.
title: Linguistic (ir-)realities. A heuristic critique of the meta-theoretical foundations of generativism.
Creators: name: Davidson, Andrew Charles
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1999

description: The thesis aims to provide a heuristic critique of the meta-theoretical foundations of Chomsky's project for an explanatory linguistics. The critique is 'heuristic' in that it attempts to take the considerations adduced to indicate how those conceptual foundations are to be re-designed on lines parallel to constructivism in the philosophy of mathematics. The net result is the provision of an outline of a meta-theoretic rationale for a process orientated linguistic theory (e.g. Kempson et al.'s LDSNL framework). The thesis investigates, and is organized around, three central strands of the Chomskyan paradigm: 1) The mathematization of linguistics: the use of formal/mathematical systems as theory constitutive metaphors. 2) A scientific realist (as opposed to instrumentalist) construal of linguistic theories. 3) A conceptualist/psychologist ontology for linguistic objects with a concomitant explanation for the nature of the linguistic in terms of properties of the modularized human "mind/brain" articulated through a system of mental representations. The central conclusions drawn are: 1) There is a failure to achieve adequate warrant for a scientific realist construal of Chomskyan linguistic theories. 2) The object(s) of study that is (are) posited in the Chomskyan paradigm require a Platonist or autonomist ontological status. A corollary of this is the inability to achieve an adequate explanation for the nature of linguistic phenomena. These conclusions, together with the observation of certain conceptual tensions and antimonies in generativist thinking (e.g. the relation between types and tokens), are taken to be sufficient to prompt a re-examination of the (metaphysical realist) assumptions that underlie that thinking. The solution that is canvassed, and which promises to resolve these tensions, is by way of a linguistic version of mathematical constructivism in which the emphasis lies in linguistic phenomena being construed as primarily cognitive events in which the constructive procedures are crucially constitutive of then linguistically individuating properties.

title: Ukubonga Nezibongo : Zulu praising and praises.
Creators: name: Gunner, Elizabeth Anne Wynne
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1984

description: The thesis is based largely on Zulu praise poetry collected in South Africa in 1975-6. It emphasises the widespread nature of the art of praising in Zulu society: it is both a specialist and a non-specialist activity and poetry is composed and performed by both men and women. The thesis also attempts to analyse the function of the poetry in a contemporary social and political context; it stresses its political, religious and aesthetic aspects and its importance as an expression of individual identity in an often hostile and negative environment. The work attempts to consider praise poetry as a "performance art" rather than a one-dimensional verbal art but also explores the form and content of the poetry. It attempts to see how composers, both specialists and non-specialists, apply the techniques which govern the genre. The memorial aspect of Zulu praising has been stressed by commentators but there has been a paucity of recently recorded material. This study, based largely on contemporary recordings which include observed performances and interview, shows that while the long royal izibongo performed today are remarkably similar to those recorded sixty or more years earlier, individual bards have their own style of performance and their versions are far from identical. Contemporary compositions by bards and non-specialists further emphasise the creative aspect of the tradition which is one that combines memory and creativity. Whereas Albert Lord's influential "singer" theory stressed that true oral poetry could only be poetry that was composed during performance, this material shows that there are other blends of memorising and composing which are possible. At the same time the thesis acknowledges the vital role played by Lord in stressing the contribution of individual artists in an oral tradition. Finally, the thesis touches on the relationship between praise poetry and contemporary printed (but in some cases performed) poetry in South Africa.

title: A comparative-historical study of the Manenguba languages (Bantu A.15, Mbo cluster) of Cameroon.
Creators: name: Hedinger, Robert
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1984

description: The Manenguba languages are a group of closely related Bantu languages spoken on the north-western edge of the Bantu area. The main goals of this study are to reconstruct Proto-Manenguba (PM) from which the present day languages have developed and to examine how they are related to each other. In chapter two, the correspondences for consonants, vowels and tones are established and oroto-phonemes proposed. In chapter three, the sound changes that have apparently taken place between PM and the different languages are presented and discussed. Several diagrams are included to highlight the kinds of splits and mergers that have occurred. Chapter four is devoted to a comparison and partial reconstruction of the morphology of the noun class and concord system. In chapter five, PM roots are compared with Proto-Bantu (PB) reconstructions in order to examine the sound correspondences between the two proto-languages. Special attention is given to the apparent double reflexes of voiceless PB stops in North West Bantu languages which have recently been attributed to a former lenis/non-lenis distinction. Apparent non-procductive morphophonemic alternations In one of the languages (Akoose) are brought to light involving reflexes of the above stops, although we are not able to provide a satisfactory answer as to their origin. Chapter six is concerned with the classification of the Manenguba languages. Previous classifications and some recent lexicostatistical classifications are surveyed. We then present and discuss our own lexicostatistical sub-grouping of the Manenguba languages plus their relationship to some adjacent languages. This classification is then related to the previous classifications and to shared sound and morphological changes established in chapters three and four. The data on which the main part of this study is based is appended comprising some 700 comparative word lists from fourteen languages/dialects. Also included where possible are PB and proposed PM reconstructions of the lexical items.

title: Pre-colonial polities in Southern Zambezia and their political communications.
Creators: name: Livneh, Avital
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1976

description: Throughout the history of the Iron Age peoples of Southern Zambezia, there was an apparent division between North and South. Organized major polities first appeared in the southeast, then a balance was evident between the northern centre of the Mutapa, and the southern centre of the Butua-Rozvi. Then, the northern centre declined, and the Ndebele invaders re-shaped the southern centre. The communications of the plateau are examined through these centres. A comparative examination of the political communication of the pre-l6th century elites, the Mutapa, the Rozvi and the Ndebele, respectively, shows that in all of them the bulk of communications was on an unofficial level. 'Official communications were influenced by the capacity for grain storage and transport, and by succession regulations. Officialdom was tied to rulers with ties of affinal, personal nature, and were not eligible for the throne. Word of mouth was the main tool of contact in all the states examined, and literacy and the wheel failed to penetrate them. The Rozvi and Mutapa states display similarities, although the Rozvi appear to have been more tightly controlled. The Ndebele brought new forms of organization, which enabled them to mobilize more efficiently than Shona, and the intensity of contact within their densely settled land was probably greater. Their relations with their periphery, however, followed in tribute enforcement in the footsteps of the Rozvi.
title: The economic functions of religious institutions in Eastern India from c. 550-1200 A.D.
Creators: name: Karunatilaka, Patti Vidanelage Bandula
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1976

description: The present study is a survey of the economic functions carried out by the religious institutions in eastern India from c. 550 to 1200 A.D. In the introduction the importance of the study of the economic functions of religious institutions is briefly discussed and the works written so far on the subject are mentioned. An examination of the sources is also included in the introduction. A survey of the main political developments in eastern India during the period is made in the first chapter, as a background for this study. The second chapter begins with a discussion on the development of the practice of making endowments for religious purposes, and it then examines the nature of endowments and the method by which the religious foundations in eastern India accumulated wealth. The third chapter deals with the landed property, with special reference to land tenure, rights of the religious institutions and land revenue and taxation. In the fourth chapter, the nature of monetary endowments, obligations of the depository, investment and rates of interest are discussed in detail. In the fifth chapter, the administrative organization of the religious institutions is examined, paying special attention to the management of property. The role of the religious institutions as economic organizations, and their relationship with society is evaluated in the sixth chapter.
