title: Word grammar and the semantics of compound nouns.
Creators: name: Taylor, Maureen Deirdre
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1987

description: This investigation is a mentalistic inquiry into the study of semantic structure for compound nouns in English. The phenomenon of compounding entails competence in both semantic and pragmatic aspects of knowledge. These two aspects of language are generally described by separate grammatical models with the result that traditional analyses have been unable to provide a descriptively adequate account of the meanings of English compound nouns. This inquiry adopts the grammatical model of Word Grammar which incorporates a systematic representation of grammatical competence within a model of performance. The underlying hypothesis of this model is that all prepositional content of language is organised in relation to the word. Therefore, no unit larger than the word itself is required to describe the production and comprehension of compound constituency. The inclusion of pragmatic competence into the framework introduces an indeterminate feature in terms of experiential knowledge but this is offset by knowledge of the word as a common denominator with which all knowledge is projected. It is shown that Word Grammar's mentalistic framework provides an observationally adequate description of speaker competence for the meanings of compound nouns and an alternative approach that offers a credible description of the interrelation between semantic and pragmatic knowledge exploited in the comprehension of compound noun meaning.
title: The Muslims of the Punjab and their politics, 1936-1947.
Creators: name: Scragg, Peter
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1984

description: The thesis is concerned mainly with the political development of the Muslims in the Punjab during the years 1936 to 1947, though it takes into account certain aspects of their socio-economic life, mainly as a background to the political study. For this purpose an examination has been conducted into the degree to which Muslims participated in the economic life of the Province in comparison to the other two major communities in the Punjab (Hindu and Sikh), with particular reference to the areas of land-ownership, finance and debt, industry, education and the public services. The political analysis contained in this work is largely confined to the struggle for supremacy which occurred between the Unionist Party and the Muslim League from 1936 onwards. This period, for the purpose of the study, has been divided into four main sections - the election of 1937, the Ministries of Sir Sikander Hyat Khan and Sir Khizar Hayat Khan Tiwana, and the election of 1946. During each phase the changing fortunes of the two contenders (the Unionist Party and the Muslim League) are recorded and discussed in the light of provincial and national developments. Thereby the thesis embraces the decline of Unionism, and the eventual triumph of the League at the polls in 1946, whilst, analysing those factors which frustrated and fostered the growth of Muslim nationalism (as expressed in the demand for 'Pakistan') in the Punjab. The thesis concludes by considering the events which prevented the Muslim League from realising power following its election victory in 1946, and by examining the periods of coalition government and Governor's rule immediately prior to Partition.
title: A study of Telugu regional and social dialects : A prosodic analysis.
Creators: name: Venkateswara Sastry, J.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1987

description: Chapter 1; INTRODUCTION: A brief introduction of the land, language, people and their occupations and society are presented. The historical, political divisions of the land, influence of other languages on Telugu, and the caste system that exists in Telugu society are explained. The controversy that exists between the traditional school and the modern school in the fields of education and language policy is touched upon. A survey of earlier work on different aspects of Telugu phonology is given at the start of each chapter. This is followed by my own analyses in terms of prosodic phonology. Chapter 2: TELUGU PHONEMIC SYSTEMS: A review of previous accounts of the Telugu phonological system is given and it is shown how each system proposed is inadequate in the circumstances that obtain in the Telugu language today. Chapter 3: SYLLABLE STRUCTURE AND STRESS: Stress plays an important role in Sandhi, harmony and rhythm. Word stress is dealt with in this section. Syllable structure is treated along with stress so as to account for loss of syllables, syllable weight and so on. Problems related to social dialects are offered a solution. Chapter 4: COMPOUND WORDS AND RHYTHM: Scholars have grouped reduplicative forms, onomatopoeic forms and echo words together with compound noun forms. A new classification of these forms, on the basis of phonetic, phonological and semantic criteria is attempted in this section. The rhythm of compound words is described here. Chapter 5: HARMONY: The prosodic treatment of vowel harmony will be seen to be not only more economical but also more complete than previous analyses, i.e. it will cover many nominal and verbal suffixes hitherto unexplored. Chapter 6: SANDHI: The term Sandhi is used loosely for various kinds of morphological processes. An attempt is made to show how Telugu scholars gave different interpretations to the Sandhi phenomena. A phonetic-phonological classification of the processes is made and Sandhi rules are presented in terms of prosodic phonology. Chapter 7: REGIONAL AND SOCIAL DIALECTS - PROBLEMS OF STANDARDISATION: Speakers are able to choose among alternative linguistic means, any of which would satisfactorily communicate the propositional information. Selection among these alternatives defines the social situations. The question of standardisation is considered. Phonological systems in terms of prosodic theory are presented so as to account for differences between regional, social dialects and the 'standard' language. Chapter 8: CONCLUSIONS: The major findings of the thesis are summarized and discussed.

title: Masks and figure sculpture of the Songye of Eastern Kasai.
Creators: name: Hersak, Dunja
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1981

description: This thesis, on the masks and magical statuary of the Songye, is based on field work conducted in Eastern Kasai, Zaire, in 1977/78 among the Kalebwe, Cofwe and Eastern Songye chiefdoms. In its concern with the function of the two types of sculpture, the thesis examines relevant aspects of the social, political and cosmological contexts. It is thereby revealed how the masks, or bifwebe, serve the ruling elite as a means of social control by exercising practices of malevolent magic, that is, sorcery and witchcraft. By contrast, the popular use of figure sculpture is seen as a socially benign magical practice which alleviates communal and individual tensions. However, in examining the making, manipulation and especially the symbolic framework of masks and figures the interrelationships of a holistic concept of Songye magic are exposed. On the basis of the masks and statuary seen mainly among the Eastern Songye, collections studied at the Museum of Mankind (London), the Musee Royale de l'Afrique Centrale (Tervuren), the Institut des Musees Nationaux du Zaire (Kinshasa and Lubumbashi) and a few private collections in Belgium, a formal classification of the two sculptural forms is established. With the masks three different functional categories are identified - male youth, male elder, female - and the stylistic development of two regional tendencies is pointed to, the Kalebwe/Cofwe and the Eastern Songye. In the case of statuary the characteristics of three main genres are outlined, community, personal and white-faced figures. Stylistically the absence of regional distinctness is noted among figures; however, the impact of the Kalebwe sculptural tradition is observed throughout the central Songye territory and its influence on the kifwebe style is also examined.

title: Two Syriac masoretic signs : Nagoda and Metappeyana.
Creators: name: El-Attar, Badia Aly Fahmy
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1982

description: Nagoda and Metappeyana are lines inserted in Syriac biblical manuscripts, among the Easterners (or Nestorians); Nagoda appears above words and Metappeyana below or on the line between words. The confinement of these lines to biblical texts suggests that they were designed to ensure proper enunciation in public reading. Chapter 1 presents the treatment of these lines by classical Syriac authorities - Elias of Tirhan, Joseph bar Malkon, John bar Zocbi, Bar Hebraeus, and two anonymous treatises. The Syriac texts are presented with English translation and critical notes, and a comparative table follows. While some agreement exists regarding the role of Metappeyana (said to appear before words beginning with vowelled consonant, after construct nouns and certain particles), these authorities' prescriptions for Nagoda show bewildering variety. Chapter 2 summarises the findings of modern writers (notably Ewald, Martin, Duval, Merx and archibishop David). While Ewald based himself on biblical manuscripts alone, the others relied in varying degrees on biblical texts and Syriac classical works together, and all reached different results. In Chapter 3, the text of Genesis in Add. 12138 has been analysed in itself with certain references to Syrian grammarians. Metappeyana appears to join successive words, and to cancel the word stress on the former word. Nagoda appears to indicate a special intonation, showing the inter-relations of words and clauses within the verse. The common notion that Nagoya and Metappeyana are straightforward opposites and therefore incompatible is rejected. Chapter 4 surveys the use of the lines in other manuscripts. While manuscripts vary in their precise usage, partly in accordance with varying tastes, the basic functions inferred in Chapter 3 still appear applicable. While the Syrian grammarians' views on Metappeyana seem more or less accurate, their treatment of Nagoda has been largely vitiated by the illusion that it is simply the opposite of Metappeyana.
title: Aspects of diplomacy of Assyria, Babylonia and Persia with their neighbours, eighth to fourth centuries B.C.
Creators: name: Evans, Richard George
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1982

description: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the diplomacy of the middle first millennium B.C. Near East, a subject which has received less scholarly attention than the diplomacy of earlier periods of near eastern history. It falls into two parts : Part I is concerned with the diplomacy of the Assyrian Kings from c750 - 630 B.C. and, to a lesser extent, of the neo-Babylonian dynasty c 620 - 540 B.C. Cuneiform documents, in particular the royal inscriptions and administrative archives of neo-Assyria furnish most of the evidence for this part. Part II investigates the diplomacy of the Persian Kings with the Greeks c550 - c540 B.C. and is based on almost exclusively classical sources. The aim is to isolate and analyse significant aspects of diplomatic theory and practice in Assyria and then to study Persian diplomacy in the light of these findings. By this method it is possible to establish whether there were elements of continuity in diplomacy from the Assyrian to the Persian period and whether a more reliable view of Persian diplomacy, which has up to now been studied in the context of Greek rather than near eastern diplomacy, can be achieved. Part I, by analysis of selected events in their historical context and by discussion of important diplomatic terminology, establishes for the first time some important aspects of Assyrian diplomacy including : i) the emphasis on the subordination of foreign rulers to Assyria and the concomitant reluctance to concede parity- status, ii) the conflict between this political ideology and the exigencies of diplomacy, iii) the distinction between 'friendly' and 'hostile' states with no Intermediate 'neutral' category. In Part II Persian diplomacy is shown to reflect several features of Assyrian diplomacy, particularly the conflict between ideology and the requirements of practical diplomacy with the Greeks whose political ideas were markedly different.
Optimal Roof Coverage and Identification of Potential Roof Problems in Underground Coal Mines Using LED Lighting
Creators: name: Samples, James A.
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Mining Engineering

description: The popularity and implementation of light emitting diode (LED) lighting have increased drastically over recent years into both residential and industrial applications. However, due to MSHA permissibility requirements, LED lighting is not currently being fully utilized in underground coal mining. While previous research has focused on examining the benefits that LED lighting possesses over other common light sources, very few have been done to find the optimum configuration to illuminate underground excavations better for the safety of the miners. In this research, multiple experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential impacts LED lighting can have on underground mine safety. The optimal light setup that provided the most roof coverage was found to be between 5 and 7 feet of separation, which is similar to what is usually used on roof bolting machines. It was also determined that LED lighting performs well in terms of discontinuity identification compared to what is commonly used in underground coal mining. The results of this research will serve as a design parameter for lighting manufacturers to use. These tests were done to simulate possible lighting locations on a roof bolting machine, but the results can be employed for other underground equipment as well.
title: Concord in Ugaritic in the light of comparative semitics.
Creators: name: Littman, Sandra Lynne
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1982

description: Ugaritic, a North-west Semitic language known only from alphabetic tablets dating to about 1300 BCE, displays many features in common with classical Semitic and is generally considered a fairly conservative language. This thesis is an investigation of number and gender concord in Ugaritic nouns, verbs, and numerals, in various syntactic structures, and with reference to related phenomena in other Semitic languages, prompted by the many phrases which are apparent exceptions to the presumed 'rules' governing concord and which are too numerous to be attributed to scribal error. The difficulties inherent in the consonantal system of orthography affect the recognition of concord. Determination of number and/or gender of individual nouns is further complicated by occasionally insufficient textual evidence. While many nouns use the morphemes O, -m, -m for masculine singular, dual, and plural, and -t, -tm,-t for feminine singular, dual, and plural, as is the case generally throughout Semitic, there are many which do not fit this pattern. In the concord of verbs, Ugaritic appears unique in preferring a tQBR(n) form of the prefix conjugation with 3mpl subjects, particularly in the order subject-verb. In the suffix conjugation, Ugaritic allows a QBR form to precede feminine singular subject nouns and pronouns and the first person subject pronoun ank. The numeral 'two ' appears to have been used as expected on the basis of comparative Semitics. Numerals 3-10 ending in O are attested with masculine and feminine nouns; those ending in -t occur mostly with masculine nouns. Ugaritic is unique among the Semitic languages in having three forms of the teen numeral: sr and srh occur with masculine nouns; there is not sufficient indication that srt is the preferred form with feminine nouns.
title: Aspects of Tigrinya literature (until 1974).
Creators: name: Habtu, Hailu
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1981

description: This dissertation aims to study the origin and development of Tigrinya as a written language---a topic that has so far received little scholarly attention. As time and the easy accessibility of all the relevant material are limiting factors, this investigation is necessarily selective. Chapter One takes stock of all available writing in the Tigrinya language from its beginning in the middle of the last century up to 1974. Chapter Two briefly investigates the development of written Tigrinya to serve varying functions and ends and the general direction that its development took. Chapter Three provides a glimpse of the breadth and variety of literature incorporated in the Eritrean Weekly News published in Asmara by the British Information Services from 1942 to 1952. The E W N represented the sudden birth and development of a secular writing and provided a tradition and a reservoir of literature on which Tigrinya fiction later drew. Chapters Four, Five and Six deal with Tigrinya fictional literature on the basis of selected themes v. g. historical and political themes (Chapter Four), prostitution and approbation against dissolute life (Chapter Five), and education and success (Chapter Six).

title: Venezuela's position in the international oil industry, 1940-1965.
Creators: name: Fernandez, James
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1967

description: The position that the petroleum industry occupies today in the Economy of the various producing and consuming countries, and the inter-relations of these countries based or derived from the oil business has given this industry an international character. The petroleum industry, however, was subjected to certain changes by the transference of its centre of gravity from the Western Hemisphere to the Eastern, with the emergence of the latter as the major source of oil exports. The United States by itself had exerted a powerful influence over the international oil industry, particularly over prices and over the pricing system used while it was a net exporter of oil, that is, up to 1948. The influence on prices managed to persist, however, up to the mid-fifties due to the various international events that followed: the Korean war (1950), the nationalization of the Iranian oil industry (1951), and the Suez crisis (1956-1957). It is only after the United States established voluntary controls in 1957 and later in 1959 mandatory quotas, when market forces began to play a dominant part in the international industry. There is logically a parallel line of thought with respect to the Venezuelan oil industry. It had also been under the influence of the American industry until 1959, and since then Venezuela has also been receiving the impact of market forces. However, this country has been susceptible to the strongest impact having the highest production cost amongst the major exporting countries, and thus, under the prevailing competitive situation, has been losing position in world in markets with respect to Middle Eastern and frican sources. O.P.D.C. However Venezuela believes th t with the creation of O.P.D.C. competition among sources can be prevented, and that with a coordinated policy among O.P.E.C, members, they can become insulted from the effects of competition among oil companies. I believe that the weakness of this theory lies in the first assumption. With the present work I hope to clarify in some degree the situation of the petroleum industry in Venezuela, and its position within the international scene. Needless to say, this will involve many political and social considerations, but because they are so entagled with the economics of the petroleum industry, they will be unavoidable.

title: The development of Ragalaksana with reference to other modal systems.
Creators: name: Mangahas, Ruby K.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1967

description: This work traces the development of ragalaksana as prescribed and described in the Natyasastra (Jati-laksana), Bohaddesi Sangltaratnakara, Svaramelakala-nidhi Ragavibodh, Caturdiprakasika, Sangita-parijata, Sangitasaramrta, and Samgrahacudamani. The structural and functional aspects of thirteen ragalaksana are analyzed, namely, graha, amsa and nyasa; tara and mandra; bahutva and alpatva; apanyasa, samnyasa and vinyasa; antaramarga; sadava and audava. The analysis traces the growth and decline of the theory of these laksana between 500 A.D. and the 19th century. As comparisons of nominally and/or modally related ragas are made in terms of their laksana, a new criterion for the proper identification of ragas emerges. In the process an attempt is made to solve the unsettled question of the identification of the BD basic ragas and the SR ragangas.

title: The Bekwarra language of Nigeria : A grammatical description.
Creators: name: Stanford, Ronald
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1967

description: This thesis presents a systematic description of the grammar of the Bekwarra language. The first chapter describes briefly the background to the analysis presented in the thesis and outlines the theoretical framework within which it is set. The system of transcription used in the thesis is explained in Chapter Two, together with a description of the main features of the tonal system of the language. The main body of the grammatical description is contained in Chapters Three to Eleven. Chapter Three contains an account of the sentence, and Chapters Four and Five an account of the clause and its features. The three major phrase classes and their elements and features are then described in turn. Chapter Six contains a description of the verbal phrase and its elements. Chapters Seven and Eight deal with the nominal phrase, the general structure of the phrase and unitary elements being described in the former and complex elements in the latter. Chapters Nine to Eleven are concerned with the adverbial phrase. Chapter Nine contains an account of the structure and the elements of the adverbial phrase, Chapter Ten an account of functionally determined classes and Chapter Eleven an account of adverbial phrase expressions functioning as extensions to the nominal phrase. Chapters Twelve and Thirteen contain respectively a brief summary of the analysis and an analysed text. The thesis ends with a list of abbreviations, a linguistic bibliography and an index.

title: The study of religious change with reference to selected African societies.
Creators: name: de Wolf, Jan Jacob
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1967

description: In the introductory chapter the twofold aim of the thesis is stated. In the first place it tries to show that the three main streams in modem anthropological thought: the historical, the typological, and the logical-structural approach, are not mutually exclusive, but complementary. In the second place the thesis attempts to gain a better understanding of processes of religious change. Anthropologists have tried to do so, by comparing exotic and spectacular aspects of these processes from all over the world. In this thesis equal attention is paid to less spectacular aspects, and processes of religious change are put into a context, the analysis of which brings out three sets of factors, which must always be considered: 1. the traditional social system and religion: 2. the economic, political, and social changes, which take place at the time of the religious changes; 3. the internal dynamics of new religious associations and movements. The next part of the thesis describes processes of religious change among the Kongo, Ganda, and Zulu. The chapter on the Kongo describes the prophetic movement known as Ngunzism. The chapter on the Ganda gives a detailed account of the introduction of the new religions, and of the further development of the Anglican Church, and some religious movements connected with this development. The chapter on the Zulu reviews the early missionary enterprise, and the emergence and growth of different types of independent churches. The concluding chapter compares first the different historical developments to bring out their unique character. Then a typology is developed to facilitate a systematic comparison of common elements of new religious associations and movements. Another typology is given to help to understand better the actual processes of change. Lastly a definition of religion is given, which shows that the category of religious change is a logically sound generalization.

title: A critical examination of theoretical and methodological approaches to low-income country labour markets : A case study of Mauritania.
Creators: name: Pontara, Nicola
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation evaluates the dominant theoretical and methodological approaches to the conceptualisation of the labour market in low-income countries, with particular attention paid to rural areas and to Africa. Using the example of Mauritania, it shows that these are inadequate. The work conducted contends that neo-classical paradigms are ill-equipped to capture the salient characteristics of rural 'change' and labour markets in Africa; and argues that a new theoretical and methodological approach towards employment should be at the core of economic and social policies. This thesis applies an analytical framework that draws from classical political economy. In this approach, employment is more important in the reduction of poverty than usually recognised. In particular, it is maintained that policies geared at generating sustainable and productive employment should be more firmly at the core of policy making in Mauritania. Methodological lessons are also presented in this dissertation. It is argued in particular that labour market analyses that rely on tools such as living standard measurement surveys systematically underestimate the true extent of labour market participation in rural Africa. By contrast, micro-surveys that utilise a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods are able to capture the complexity of labour markets and measure their vibrancy and significance for poverty reduction, notably in contexts characterised by heterogeneity and differentiation rather than homogeneity and equality. These points are discussed in detail when comparing the results of the 2004 national household survey (EPCV) with those of a micro-survey which focusing on selected village labour markets (RLMS). This work concludes by summarising the advantages of using a political economy framework in the analysis of rural 'change' through the lens of the labour market; the main methodological lessons for designing sound labour market research tools; and policy implications for the generation of decent and sustainable employment opportunities in (rural) Mauritania.
title: Community and identity: A case study of Luso Indian participation in the medical profession in nineteenth century Bombay.
Creators: name: Gonsalves, Shirley Louise
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2008

description: This thesis examines the hypothesis that a pioneering group of Luso Indian medical doctors played a role in Western medicine in nineteenth century Bombay. The term Luso Indian is used here to refer specifically to indigenous Portuguese speaking Indians primarily from the populations known today as being East Indian and Goan. Chapter 1 of the thesis discusses definitions of 'community' and 'identity' in relationship to 'caste,' 'race' and 'religion.' The notion that our community formed a single and segregated entity is explored, using both official categories derived from the Census reports and ethnographical accounts and unofficial categories examined through an analysis of the popular Catholic press. Chapter 2 examines the role of Grant Medical College in providing a springboard for entry into the medical services of Colonial Bombay. While the majority Hindu and Muslim population were constrained from embarking on a career in medicine by cultural and religious taboos, a number of Luso Indians availed themselves of opportunities offered at the college. The chapter also explores the medical groups and associations which attempted to create a professional medical community. The third chapter provides a study of the intellectual milieu in Bombay during the nineteenth century and a case study of ten prominent Luso Indians involved in the medical profession. Two of the sample are women, both of them were the wives of medical men included in this study, one was a doctor in her own right. A database of biographical material relating to a larger sample of Luso Indians in the medical profession is presented in the Appendix. The thesis concludes by suggesting that these Luso Indians played an important role in the profession of Western medicine in India during this period.
title: Wilfred Cantwell Smith's theory of scripture related to the use of the Bible in African Anglicanism.
Creators: name: James, Robert William
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2010

description: This thesis uses the theories of Wilfred Cantwell Smith about religion in general and scripture in particular. It attempts to link them more closely than Smith himself did. Building on Smith, the thesis argues that the designation of a text as scripture influences the way religious followers approach it. They bring their deepest convictions and pressing concerns to it as presuppositions, but also use the text as a window onto the transcendent, a means of grappling with ultimate reality, leading to a use of the scripture (a concept larger than the words on the page) in ordering the world as they think it should be. The thesis applies these insights to the Anglican Communion. It considers the approach to the Bible taken by formative Anglican thinkers, and declarations about the Bible from the Lambeth Conferences. It then considers the approach to the Bible in Africa, on the part of both academic theologians (many of whom are Anglicans) and of African Anglican church leaders. It focuses on Anglican biblical approaches to the issue of homosexuality, currently splitting the Communion. Both parties to this debate claim to base their position on the Bible. However, in Smith's terms, each position relies less on interpreting a text than on bringing deep convictions to scripture and working on it to establish what is thought to be the will of God and thus to order the world as it should be. The thesis argues that Smith's insights shed considerable light on the underlying dynamics of this debate, and that recognition of these dynamics would make the debate far more tractable and fruitful.
title: Gender and person agreement in Cicipu discourse.
Creators: name: McGill, Stuart John
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2009

description: The Cicipu language (Kainji, Benue-Congo) of northwest Nigeria has the kind of robust noun class system characteristic of Benue-Congo languages - GENDER agreement is found on a great many agreement targets inside and outside the noun phrase. For a number of these targets, gender agreement is in competition with a separate paradigm, that of PERSON agreement. The dissertation focuses on the distribution of this alternation with respect to subject prefixes, object enclitics, and pronouns, based on a corpus of 12,000 clauses of spoken language. The alternation proves to be complex to describe, involving a constellation of lexical, phonological, morphosyntactic, semantic and discourse-pragmatic factors. In particular, both animacy and topicality are CONDITIONS (Corbett 2006) on agreement. While inanimate or animal participants normally trigger gender agreement, if they are topics then they may trigger person agreement. Likewise while human nouns typically trigger person agreement, this is not always the case, and gender agreement is more likely if the referent is of incidental importance to the discourse. Furthermore it is argued that this alternation is sensitive to discourse topic (e.g. Dooley 2007) rather than sentence topic (e.g. Lambrecht 1994). Both gender and person subject prefixes are ambiguous agreement markers according to the typology of Bresnan and Mchombo (1987) and Siewierska (1999), since both can take part in grammatical or anaphoric agreement. Thus the Cicipu data supports Culy's (2000) contention that topicality is an independent dimension for the classification of agreement markers, rather than derivative of the grammatical vs. anaphoric agreement distinction, and leads us to re-evaluate the common assumption that dependent person markers (Siewierska 2004) cannot vary with respect to their discourse function. Since Cicipu is otherwise undescribed, a major part of the dissertation consists of a phonological and grammatical sketch.
title: The rise of the 'Alawi dynasty in Morocco 1631-1672.
Creators: name: Mojuetan, Benson Akutse
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London

description: The political crisis sparked off by the death of al-Mansur had so compromised Sadian authority that the dynasty saw its sovereignty increasingly encroached upon by rival, local leaders who carved out for themselves independent principalities in different parts of Morocco. The Sus was controlled by the Awlad Sidi Ahmad Ou Musa from their zawiya of Iligh in the Tazarwalt, the Tafilalt and the Saharan region by the Filali sharifs, the centre of Morocco by the murabitum of Dila' and the Gharb/Habt by the mujahid, al-Ayashi, and later al-Khadir Ghailan. On the Bu Regreg, the Morisco refugees from Spain had also repudiated Sadian authority, proclaiming themselves into an independent republic which treated with the European Powers on a sovereign basis. Such was the background of division and rivalry against which the Alawi dynasty was established by al-Rashid. It is the politics of this period of power-vacuum, the period between Sadian decadence and the rise of the Alawis, that is the object of this study. The central feature of the investigation is the Jewish connection with the accession to power of the new dynasty. The assassination of a wealthy Jew or Jewish King by al-Rashid, an event commonly accepted as a fact of Moroccan national history, - it is the origin of the annual feast of students in Fes, the id al-tolba - is here subjected to a critical reassessment.
