We want to say “you’re welcome”: case studies of early revitalization
No full textIn situations where a language is in the very earliest stages of revitalization, it is important to customize materials for groups that want them, in ways that honor their goals. For example, young people often want materials built around phrases that are socially useful, that build solidarity and cultural identity (e.g. phrases such as thank you, you’re welcome, how are you?, where are you from?, I’m sorry). Preschool teachers want basic vocabulary and ways to address the group (e.g. everyone stand up! everyone sit down!). Tribal elders may want more emphasis on traditional materials. Yet each customized goal brings its own challenges and opportunities. In this paper we present two case studies from Northern Pomo (a dormant language of California), one about designing materials containing socially useful phrases for young people, and one about designing materials for Head Start teachers. As others have observed (e.g. Rotet 2014, Zuckerman & Walsh 2011), smaller languages being revived may not have equivalents for all desired words or phrases. This may call for borrowing or coinages, each of which entail complicated cultural and linguistic decisions. The first case we’ll present (design of materials to introduce socially useful phrases to young people) involves a collaboration between a linguist and Pomo language teacher in designing materials and presenting them to focus groups (held in Fall 2016) with young people from the tribal community. The second case concerns design of materials for Head Start teachers. Here the challenge is trying to make the materials educative for children, but also useful for teachers as a source of easy exposure to the grammar of the language. For example, the pre-school context is well-suited to pointing out the difference between imperatives (sit down!) and declaratives (he is sitting), as well as simple questions. But here too, coinages departing from the traditional may emerge. These cases are relevant to the ICLDC theme of wellbeing: Author 1 has taught both Head Start students and young people in Northern Pomo tribal communities. The youth culture camps she ran were supported by suicide and drug abuse prevention grants to the tribe. She has specific knowledge of how engagement with the language supports the development of a positive cultural identity. Author 6 has spent several decades describing the language and oversees development of a website that houses these materials. Their collaboration provides a context to examine the multi-faceted challenges of bringing language materials to life. Rottet, K. J. (2014).

Products of their Past? Cleavages and Intra-Party Dissent Over European Integration. IHS Political Science Series Paper No. 118. February 2009
No full textWhat explains contemporary intra-party dissent on EU issues? This article develops a cleavage theory model of internal party dissent over European integration. Drawing on Lipset and Rokkan’s classic model of political cleavages and on its applications to party positioning on European integration, I argue that if one seeks to understand when, where, and to what extent internal divisions manifest themselves, one must look to the particular historical vulnerabilities of political parties. Using expert survey data, I demonstrate that the ease with which political parties are able to assimilate the issue of European integration is influenced by the legacy of past political tensions and the extent to which the economic and political aspects of the EU reactivate pre-existing cleavages
