A Reanalysis of CV- Reduplication in Comox-Sliammon
No full textPrevious descriptions of Comox-Sliammon (ʔayʔaǰuθəm) list three types of CV reduplication: imperfective, plural, and diminutive (Watanabe 2003). Though the proposed reduplicant is a CV prefix across all three types of reduplication, the processes are not homophonous. The root vowel is argued to be retained in imperfective reduplication, but deleted in diminutive and plural reduplication (Watanabe 2003). The prefixing CV- analysis requires positing that input-reduplicant faithfulness is more valued by the grammar than input-base and base-reduplicant correspondence, which is undesirable under Base-Reduplicant Correspondence theory (McCarthy & Prince 1995). In this paper, I argue that the difference between imperfective, plural, and diminutive reduplicative processes arises from two sources: (1) the morphological domain to which they attach, and (2) whether a particular ranking of alignment constraints within a specific domain favours reduplicant or root material at the left edge. Descriptively, the imperfective reduplicant truly surfaces a prefix, while the plural and diminutive reduplicants are realized as infixes. In order to account for the different affixal positions (infix or prefix), a Stratal OT approach is adopted (Kiparsky 2008), whereby infixation is motivated by AlignLRt is ranked above AlignLRed at the stem-level and prefixation preferred by the opposite ranking (AlignLRed >> AlignLRt) at the word-level. Reanalysing “root vowel deleting” CV reduplicants as infixes avoids theoretical issues and is more consistent with the Comox-Sliammon grammar
Women and Religious Authority: Passion and Reason in Elizabeth Barrett Browning\u27s The Seraphim, and Other Poems and Aemilia Lanyer\u27s Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum
No full textElizabeth Barrett Browning challenges traditional poetic conventions within the patriarchal realmof religious devotional poetry in The Seraphim, and OtherPoems (1838).1 This essay examines Browning’s strikingconnection to her seventeenth-century predecessor Aemilia Lanyer, author of Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum (1611).Browning and Lanyer rework the male-centric devotionalpoetic mode in order to destabilize the social restrictionsand biases placed upon women within the genre. Both poetsultimately argue that the concord of emotion and reason establishes women’s authority in religious devotional poetryover their male-poet contenders
"In Endless Repetition": An Existence Decorated in Oppression in Ella Hepworth Dixon\u27s The Story of a Modern Woman
No full textIn Ella Hepworth Dixon’s The Story of a ModernWoman (1894), decor is a metaphorical vehicle for whatcritic Heather Kirk Thomas calls the “physiological andemotional womb-to-tomb domestic restriction of nineteenth-century women” (1). Using a series of close readings and a parallel examination of the wallpaper in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story “The Yellow Wallpaper,”this essay explores how elements of the domestic spaces ofMary Erle, the novel’s protagonist, serve as metaphors forthe oppression faced by women in a world that constrictsthem to subordinate roles under men

Living Speculative Pedagogies as Boundary-Crossing Dialogues
No full textThis article shares the experience of expanding what was initiated at the SPARK conference as one example of engaging pedagogical development as an ongoing critically reflective boundary-crossing dialogue. It extends conversations in relation to a climate change inquiry project that explored thinking with trees by revisiting a concept integral to our inquiry—listening— in order to critically interrogate our pedagogical assumptions, actions, and aspirations. This approach to curriculum and pedagogy keeps the question “Now what?” continuously in the frame as a guide for living unfinished, uncertain, and speculative doings and dialogues in the classroom
A Research Journey with Plains Cree Elders Regarding Their Image of the Child
No full textTo develop culturally appropriate education for Indigenous children in Canada, knowledge of childhood in Indigenous contexts is needed. This article focuses on the author’s learning journey during a community-based participatory research project regarding two Plains Cree Elders’ images, or understandings, of the child. To situate the study, the author revisits her research with Elders while exploring some epistemological, ontological,and axiological considerations of Indigenous research and then shares how she employed cultural protocols and forged relationships. Next, the author shares and reflects on the Elders’ understandings of childhood and the ways in which she cared for the Elders’ knowledge
Researching the Moral Experiences of Young Children: A Pilot Study
No full textThe aim of this pilot study was to develop a research design and refine data collection and analysis methods to examine moral experiences of children in an education context. We piloted two data collection methods: participant observation and one-on-one interviews in preschool classrooms and with school-aged children, respectively. Our thematic analysis revealed how children coconstruct their daily experiences in this particular context; when and how they resist rules; and what moral experiences may look like in preschool interactions and how they may be understood and expressed by school-aged children. We also discussed methodological reflections on rapport building and power dynamics within these research methods
