Orthographic reform in Cook Islands Māori: Human considerations and language revitalisation implications
Get PDFCook Islands Māori* is an East Polynesian language spoken in the Cook Islands (approx.10,000 speakers), New Zealand (approx. 9000 speakers) and Australia (approx. 3000 speakers).
An orthography for the Rarotongan dialect of Cook Islands Māori was devised by missionaries from the London Missionary Society in the early nineteenth century and a Rarotongan translation of the Bible was published in 1851. The high prestige of this particular text led to the entrenchment of the orthographic system used by the missionaries and the establishment of the Rarotongan dialect as the 'standard'.
The publication of the Rarotongan Bible was followed by widespread print literacy amongst speakers of Cook Islands Māori (albeit in the Rarotongan dialect) which in turn produced 160 years worth of written records in Māori. This body of texts is an immensely valuable resource for the Cook Islands people as a whole and for me as a 21st century Indigenous linguist doing descriptive work on my heritage language.
However, as with most of the early biblical orthographies in the region, the London Missionary Society's Rarotongan orthography was not ideal. Linguistically speaking, it suffers from phonemic underrepresentation, fails to integrate borrowed terms appropriately, and obscures dialectical variation. Politically speaking, it artificially promoted the Rarotongan dialect to the position of 'standard dialect' by merit of being the 'language of the Bible', creating ongoing resentment amongst some speakers of other dialects.
Today, the status of the Cook Island Māori language is extremely fragile, with very low rates of intergenerational transmission and rapidly decreasing numbers of proficient speakers.
In the current climate, there is a strong argument for updating the 'Bible orthography' as the problems caused by underrepresentation are more significant to the contemporary language community, the majority of whom are non-fluent speakers. Most younger community members consider Cook Islands Māori to be difficult to read and write 'correctly'. However, most literate native speakers are resistant to change and within the pro-reform camp, there is uncertainty about what any putative new system should look like.
This paper will look at how we are negotiating the fraught prospect of orthographic reform as an aid to language revitalisation in the Cook Islands Māori language community.

Where Participatory Approaches Meet Pragmatism in Funded (Health) Research: The Challenge of Finding Meaningful Spaces
Get PDFThe term participatory research is now widely used as a way of categorising research that has moved beyond researching "on" to researching "with" participants. This paper draws attention to some confusions that lie behind such categorisation and the potential impact of those confusions on qualitative participatory research in practice. It illuminates some of the negative effects of "fitting in" to spaces devised by other types of research and highlights the importance of forging spaces for presenting participatory research designs that suit a discursive approach and that allow the quality and impact of such research to be recognised. The main contention is that the adoption of a variety of approaches and purposes is part of the strength of participatory research but that to date the paradigm has not been sufficiently articulated. Clarifying the unifying features of the participatory paradigm and shaping appropriate ways for critique could support the embedding of participatory research into research environments, funding schemes and administration in a way that better reflects the nature and purpose of authentic involvement
Impaired Competence for Pretense in Children with Autism: Exploring Potential Cognitive Predictors.
Get PDFLack of pretense in children with autism has been explained by a number of theoretical explanations, including impaired mentalising, impaired response inhibition, and weak central coherence. This study aimed to empirically test each of these theories. Children with autism (n=60) were significantly impaired relative to controls (n=65) when interpreting pretense, thereby supporting a competence deficit hypothesis. They also showed impaired mentalising and response inhibition, but superior local processing indicating weak central coherence. Regression analyses revealed that mentalising significantly and independently predicted pretense. The results are interpreted as supporting the impaired mentalising theory and evidence against competing theories invoking impaired response inhibition or a local processing bias. The results of this study have important implications for treatment and intervention

Getting Published: Journey into a Relationship between Editor and Author
Get PDFLast year at the Inaugural TQR Conference, Sally and Dan conducted a workshop entitled Getting Published: Journey into an Editor\u27s Mind, highlighting what an editor thinks when she/he reviews a submitted manuscript to TQR. For the 2011 TQR Conference we will offer a variation of this presentation by including the voice of an author. Our workshop is entitled Getting Published: Journey into a Relationship between Editor and Author. In this workshop we will present a conversation between an author (Paige) and editor (Sally) to reveal an example of a relationship that develops between the two during the process of editorial review at TQR
