Get PDFFormer URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10125/59390No matter the job title, there are at least three common practices among librarians, archivists, and curators: information control, access, and preservation. As a collection steward we strive to create an inclusive and relevant site within the community, while advocating and preserving its resources and the job position. However the job can be tasked with responsibilities outside its original scope. Other duties as assigned justify work that may seem relatable, but ends up derailing even the best of plans. For instance, what does raking leaves, plucking mango, making lei, and brewing coffee have in common with an information professional and a cultural heritage site? Learn how these mundane actions led to opportunities for program development, community engagement, stakeholder buy-in, and implementation of augmented reality in the newly completed renovations and design of the second floor parlors of Washington Place. We will explore how to empower yourself, your institute, and your community
West-Central Thailand Pwo Karen Phonology
Get PDFWest-Central Thailand Pwo Karen (Karenic, Tibeto-Burman) is one of several mutually unintelligible varieties of Pwo Karen found in Myanmar and Thailand. This paper represents an updated version of a phonological description (Phillips 2000). The study includes a comparison of the phonologies of Burmese Eastern Pwo Karen (Hpa-an and Tavoy) and the Thailand Pwo Karen varieties, West-Central Thailand Pwo Karen and Northern Pwo Karen. While the consonant inventories are similar, the vowel inventories exhibit diphthongization of some nasalized vowels. Also, some former nasalized vowels have lost their nasalization. This denasalization is most pronounced in the Burmese Eastern Pwo Karen varieties. As well, these varieties have either lost the two glottalized tones, or are in the process of losing them, while this process has only begun in West-Central Thailand Pwo Karen. In contrast, all six tones are present in Northern Pwo Karen
