Directional Footing, Degeneracy, and Alignment
No full textThis paper argues from an Optimality Theory perspective that no one-to-one correspondence exists between directional footing effects and individual constraints. Recent work in OT claims that directional footing effects are best captured by the constraints All-Feet-Left (Ft-Left) and All-Feet-Right (Ft-Right) in (1) (e.g. McCarthy & Prince 1993b, 1994; Kirchner 1993; Cohn & McCarthy 1994; Crowhurst & Hewitt, in press; Hewitt 1994a; Kager 1994).
(1) a. All-Feet-Left: Align(Foot, L, PrWd, L)
b. All-Feet-Right: Align(Foot, R, PrWd, R)
This paper argues that the relationship between the alignment constraints in (1) and directional footing is more complicated than has been envisioned. In fact, the OT account presented here reveals directional effects to be epiphenomenal: either of the constraints in (1) may yield rightward or leftward footing, depending on its interaction with constraints requiring syllable-to-foot parsing and binary foot structure (see below). We also show that directionality and stray syllable parsing at edges are dependent: right-to-left and left-to-right effects under Ft-Left dominance co-occur with either the presence or the absence of a degenerate foot, but not with both. This relationship is inverted when Ft-Right dominates Ft-Left. One outcome of this study is that interactions among a small number of constraints leads to a modified typological view of metrical patterns familiar from earlier work.The definitive version of this paper was published in NELS 25: Proceedings of the North East Linguistics Society (1995) and is available at http://glsa.hypermart.net/Crowhurst, M., & Hewitt, M.

A revision of the genus Hermacha Simon, 1889 (Mygalomorphae : Entypesidae), in southern Africa with revalidation of Hermachola Hewitt, 1915, and Brachytheliscus Pocock, 1902
No full textThe southern African species of the mygalomorph spider genus Hermacha Simon, 1889, are
revised. Eight species are redescribed: H. brevicauda Purcell, 1903; H. caudata Simon, 1889; H.
evanescens Purcell, 1903; H. fulva Tucker, 1917; H. lanata Purcell, 1902; H. nigrispinosa Tucker,
1917; H. sericea Purcell, 1902; and H. tuckeri Raven, 1985. The female of H. sericea and the male
of H. evanescens are described for the first time. Three new species are described: H. septemtrionalis,
sp. nov., H. maraisae, sp. nov., and H. montana, sp. nov. On the basis of their genital morphology
H. curvipes Purcell, 1902, and H. nigra Tucker, 1917, are considered incertae sedis.
Pionothele capensis Zonstein, 2016, was found to be conspecific with H. brevicauda and is synonymized.
The genera Brachytheliscus Pocock, 1902, and Hermachola Hewitt, 1915, are revalidated
and redescribed. Hermacha capensis (Ausserer, 1871) and H. crudeni Hewitt, 1913, are transferred
to Hermachola. Hermachola crudeni (Hewitt, 1913), originally described from a female, and Hermachola
grahami Hewitt, 1915, originally described from a male, were found to be conspecific
and synonymized. A new species, Hermachola lyleae, sp. nov., is also described. New morphological
characters for the diagnoses of these genera and a dichotomous key for all species considered
here are provided. Known distributions are mapped and, where available, ecological data are
included. With the exception of H. caudata and H. mazoena Hewitt, 1915, all species are endemic to South Africa, but further survey work in neighboring countries is needed. This work substantially
improves the taxonomy of this group of spiders and provides a foundation for further
investigation of the diversity and relationships of species within the region.CONICEThttp://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/9am2022Zoology and Entomolog

Music for classical guitar by South African composers : a historical survey, notes on selected works and a general catalogue
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 296-309).This is the first comprehensive investigation of music for, or including, the classical guitar by South African composers. The focus of this research has been, firstly, to uncover as much of the repertoire as possible, and, secondly, to collate, study, catalogue and report on the information. A brief historical survey of the guitar in South Africa provides the context within which this study was conducted. The primary sources of quantitative data collection were through the archival catalogues of the South African Music Rights Organisation and through personal contact with guitarists, composers and guitar teachers. Other sources consulted were publishers, broadcasting corporations, recording companies, libraries and the internet. The body of the dissertation comprises biographical sketches, background notes, analyses and technical notes on 17 selected solo and chamber works dating from 1947 to 2007 by some of South Africa's most prominent composers and guitaristcomposers. The repertoire ranges in style from the traditional and ethnically inspired to the experimental and abstract. As this is an empirical survey, each selected entry includes details on instrumentation, duration, level of difficulty, number of pages, scordatura, commissions or requests, sources or publishers, premières and recordings. A biography of each composer is provided as well as background notes which offer an overview of the selected work. The notes discuss historical, cultural, musical and extra-musical influences, and frequently include references to interview material. The commentaries on the selected works, with musical examples, include an analytical component describing structure, form, stylistic and compositional elements, while the technical observations include performance suggestions and a grading for each work
