title: The two versions of Erasmus's apologia de in principio erat sermo and the role of Edward Lee

authors: Drysdall, Denis

abstract: There has been some discussion about Erasmus's intention in using the word sermo instead of verbum to translate λόγος in the first verse of the gospel of St John, and it is well known that he wrote two versions of his defence of the translation.

title: Rights and property paradigms: Challenging the dominant construct hegemony

authors: Morrow, Karen

subjects: law

abstract: The interrelationship of (human) rights and property paradigms raises particularly profound questions when played out in respect of environmental claims. It is therefore no surprise that contributions to this edition invoke ontological and epistemological concerns fundamental to the unsettled interface between the mutable richness of living spatial and socio-cultural ecologies and the abrupt reductionisms so often imposed upon them by law. At the same time it speaks of the power and dominance of property paradigms that even the most critical analyses tend to seek reformulation of property’s parameters rather than its abandonment.

title: Changes in the pronunciation of Māori and implications for teachers and learners of Māori

authors: Keegan, Peter J.

subjects: pronunciation of Maori

abstract: This paper discusses changes in the pronunciation of Māori and implications for teachers and learners of Māori. Data on changes in the pronunciation of Māori derives from the MAONZE project (Māori and New Zealand English with support from the Marsden fund). The project uses recordings from three sets of speakers to track changes in the pronunciation of Māori and evaluate influence from English. Results from the project show changes in both vowel quality and vowel duration and some evidence of diphthong mergers in pairs such as ai/ae and ou/au, especially amongst the younger speakers. In terms of duration the younger speakers are producing smaller length distinctions between long/short vowel pairs other than /ā, a/. We discuss the implications of such changes for those teaching Māori and for students learning Māori as a subject. These changes raise interesting questions concerning the pronunciation of Māori by future generations.
