title: Reduplication in Maori

authors: Keegan, Peter J.

subjects: Te reo Māori

abstract: This thesis is a study of reduplication in Māori. The aim of the thesis is to make a thorough study of both the formal and semantic properties of reduplication in Māori. This is done by reviewing the relevant literature on reduplication, and collating reduplication data. Most data are from textual sources. Some data have been provided by native-speaker informants. 
The first chapter looks at previous attempts to describe reduplication in Māori. It begins with some definitions of the term reduplication. This is followed by a review of the attempts made by previous authors to describe reduplication in Māori. Aspects of reduplication not covered by those attempts are noted.
The second chapter looks at reduplication in Māori within a Generative framework. The units of reduplication in Māori are given in prosodic terms. This is followed by an overview of Marantz (1982), and a critique of two very recent attempts to account for reduplication in Māori within Optimality Theory. Aspects of Māori reduplication that poses difficulties for Optimality Theory are noted.
The third chapter describes the semantics of reduplication in Māori. An illustration is given of some of the common meanings of reduplication attested across languages. The various meanings of reduplication in Māori are described. Also, the semantics of reduplication in Māori are compared to the semantics of reduplication in Malayo-Polynesian (Austronesian) languages within the framework suggested by Kiyomi (1995).
The fourth chapter comments on descriptive aspects of reduplication in Māori not covered by the previous three chapters.
The fifth chapter provides statistics on the reduplication data collated in the appendices. Reduplication data are divided according to the number of mora in the stem (or base) of origin. Statistics are given on the occurrence of various patterns of reduplication in Māori.

title: Decolonisation through reconciliation: The role of Pākehā identity

authors: Amundsen, Diana Leigh

subjects: Pākehā

abstract: Research indicates that claiming a contemporary identity as Pākehā is being redefined by those individuals who engage closely with Te Ao Māori. This reopens the discussion of the implications for Pākehā researchers who engage across Māori research spaces. This article reports a reflective study I conducted using the transtheoretical model and its six stages of change (J. O. Prochaska & DiClemente, 1982) to understand my Pākehā cultural identity. I discuss my rationale for engaging in research with Māori, and then outline the approaches that I, as a non Indigenous researcher, adopted to appropriately engage in Indigenous research. I discuss responsibilities for Pākehā to take deliberate and conscious steps to decolonise through reconciliation and dismantle disturbing and prevailing prejudiced attitudes. Decolonisation through reconciliation takes various forms, but necessarily involves a process of actions and changes. Our challenge as Pākehā educators is to participate in this change process towards decolonisation through reconciliation.

title: Tribute to John Thomson

authors: Lodge, Martin

abstract: THE MOTIVE OF HISTORY is at bottom poetic." Those significant words of Trevelyan were used by John Thomson to introduce a speech acknowledging his receipt of the Composers Association of New Zealand Citation for Services to New Zealand Music in February 1988. And there is poetry in all John's writings; poetry in the finesse of their polished presentation as well as in their psychological origins. Until the end of his life, John declined to be called a musicologist, preferring instead the term music historian. He considered history writing to be a noble profession. As an historian of New Zealand music, his avowed aim was to create a "sense of community, not only with the present but also with the past" and thereby "satisfy a craving we all have for a valid, dynamic history." In the end he achieved that goal, but it cost him many years of labour, not to mention incidents of thanklessness and hurtful controversy. It is too soon, yet, to gauge exactly the full measure of John's musical history making contribution to this country, but I feel sure time will reveal it to be substantially greater than most musicians here are currently aware of. He succeeded in laying the foundation stones of our music history, uncovering artistic vitality and continuity where previously there had been vagueness or ignorance.
