Inclusory constructions in the Māori languages of Aotearoa and the Southern Cook Islands
No full textThis paper discusses Lichtenberk’s (2000) notion of inclusory constructions as manifested in two closely related East Polynesian languages of the realm of New Zealand: New Zealand Māori and Cook Islands Māori. Both
languages have productive inclusory constructions typically used to denote sets of human referents as in the following New Zealand Māori example.
(1) Kua hoki atu a Mere rāua ko Reremoana.
‘Mere and Reremoana have gone back.‘
Inclusory constructions in both languages are formally identical and fit Lichenberk’s typology well. The two languages differ in their preference for using this construction, which is strongly preferred in New Zealand Māori but merely possible in Cook Islands Māori.FALS
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
Cross-cultural and tribal-centred politics in American Indian studies: assessing a current split in American Indian literary scholarship and re-interpreting Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony and Louise Erdrich's Tracks
No full textThe thesis examines the current split in American Indian literary studies between cross-cultural and tribal-centred schools of criticism through analyses of Arnold Krupat's, Louis Owens's and Gerald Vizenor's scholarship, on one side, and Elizabeth Cook-Lynn's and Craig Womack's critical work, on the other. The conflicting critical positions, despite their growing importance, have not received a consistent analysis in the critical discourse. The implications of this controversy for the future of American Indian studies and for the ways in which American Indian literature may be studied and taught have not been examined in depth. Particularly, there is little recognition of the validity of tribal-centred contributions to the field. The research seeks to address such gaps in the current scholarship: it develops a synoptic discussion of the opposing critical positions, assesses their strengths and drawbacks, and proposes a possible resolution of the controversy. The thesis argues that crosscultural scholarship (in conjunction with postcolonial and postmodern theory) has contributed importantly to the understanding of discursive hybridity as a vital aspect of American Indian existence, writing and anticolonial resistance. Yet, cross-cultural criticism has sidelined questions regarding tribal sovereignty discourse and tribal centred identity politics. Tribal-centred scholarship is making an important, and still ignored and misunderstood contribution to American Indian studies because it assists the understanding of these two important categories in American Indian experience and decolonisation. Assessing contributions and omissions of either critical position, the research posits that the current critical split could and should be negotiated to enable a more accurate and comprehensive reading of the political discourses that shape American Indian experience, anticolonial struggles and writing. The research illustrates the controversy and its potential mediation through a re-interpretation of two "representative" American Indian novels: Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony and Louise Erdrich's Tracks. Part One of the research - chapters one, two and three - analyses the debate, while Part Two - chapters four and five - re-reads Ceremony and Tracks

Language Change and SA-OT: The case of sentential negation
No full textSimulated Annealing for Optimality Theory (SA-OT) updates Optimality Theory by adding a model of performance to a theory of linguistic competence. Our aim is to show that SA-OT can contribute to language change simulations. Performance "errors" are considered to be one of the causes of variation and change. We have chosen to model the evolution of sentential negation (SN). The descriptive background adopts Jespersen's Cycle, according to which the evolution of sentential negation follows three main stages (1. pre-verbal, 2. discontinuous, and 3. post-verbal). Therefore, we advance a novel model for SN, based on SA-OT. It reproduces the three pure and the two observed mixed stages, whereas it correctly predicts the lack of an intermediate stage between 3 and 1. The success of the approach corroborates the computational, performance-based approach to the data. Finally, we employ the iterated learning paradigm to reproduce historical changes in a "simulated corpus study". This enterprise turns out to be more difficult than one would naively believe.Appeared open access as: Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands Journal (CLIN), vol. 1 (2011), pp. 21-40, and is available at http://www.clinjournal.org/sites/default/files/Lopopolo.pdfA.

Development of an Extractive Membrane Bioreactor for degradation of 3 chloro-4-methylaniline: From lab bench to pilot scale
No full textExtractive Membrane Bioreactor (EMB) technology hac been applied to an industrial wastewater containing 3-chloro-4-methylaniline, para-toluidine and methanol produced at the Hickson and Welch Ltd, production site in Castleford, UK: Successful treatment war accomplished through a step-wise approach to process development, involving selection of a suitable microbial culture, extractive membrane bioreactor operation under well controlled laboratory conditions, and finally pilot scale-application at the production site. Three experimental steps were undertaken: I) a microbial culture capable of degrading 3-chloro-4-methylaniline was developed in a continuous enrichment reactor; 2) the selected culture was then inoculated to a lab-scale EMB unit and adapted to the conditions of the industrial waste; and 3) finally the process was scaled-up to assess feasibility and performance at pilot-scale. At the pilot scale, 100% extraction of the target molecules contained in the industrial wastewater was achieved in a I m(3) extractive membrane bioreactor treating 60 g/d 3-chloro-4-methylaniline and 30 g/d pard-toluidine. Stoichiometric amounts of chloride were generated indicating complete mineralization of 3-chloro-4-methylaniline
