He or she can assess your child and advise you. Other times that special care or advice may be needed include: j If the child’s growth curve is too far from the centre line (labelled '0'), it may be a sign that he is undernourished or overweight. If he is not within the normal range, a health care provider can help you find ways to help him grow normally. For example, changes may be needed in the type of foods he is given, or the frequency or quantity of feeding. Or he may need more emotional support, or stimulation, or physical activity that will help him become healthy. j If the child is severely undernourished, he needs urgent specialized care. j If the child is obese, he needs medical assessment and specialized management. Discuss this with the health care provider. j If a mother suspects that she may be HIV positive, she should be encouraged to go for counselling and testing. j If a pregnant woman or the mother of an infant knows that she is HIV positive, she needs specialized counselling about her options for feeding the baby. 12 Recommendations for feeding and care of infants and children j If your child is sick, feed him according to the recommendations for his age group provided in this section. Also give more fluids (breastfeed more for a breastfed child) and encourage him to eat soft,

  • Kinship Terminology
    Fox (Mesquakie) Kinship Terminology IVES GODDARD Smithsonian Institution A. Basic Terms (Conventional List) The Fox kinship system has drawn a fair amount of attention in the ethno­ graphic literature (Tax 1937; Michelson 1932, 1938; Callender 1962, 1978; Lounsbury 1964). The terminology that has been discussed consists of the basic terms listed in §A, with a few minor inconsistencies and errors in some cases. Basically these are the terms given by Callender (1962:113-121), who credits the terminology given by Tax (1937:247-254) as phonemicized by CF. Hockett. Callender's terms include, however, silent corrections of Tax from Michelson (1938) or fieldwork, or both. (The abbreviations are those used in Table l.)1 Consanguines Grandparents' Generation (1) nemesoha 'my grandfather' (GrFa) (2) no hkomesa 'my grandmother' (GrMo) Parents' Generation (3) nosa 'my father' (Fa) (4) nekya 'my mother' (Mo [if Ego's female parent]) (5) nesekwisa 'my father's sister' (Pat-Aunt) (6) nes'iseha 'my mother's brother' (Mat-Unc) (7) nekiha 'my mother's sister' (Mo [if not Ego's female parent]) 'Other abbreviations used are: AI = animate intransitive; AI + O = tran- sitivized AI; Ch = child; ex. = example; incl. = inclusive; m = male; obv. = obviative; pi. = plural; prox. = proximate; sg. = singular; TA = transitive ani­ mate; TI-0 = objectless transitive inanimate; voc. = vocative; w = female; Wi = wife.

  • The Long-Term Effects of Breastfeeding on Development
    3 The Long-Term Effects of Breastfeeding on Development Wendy H. Oddy1, Jianghong Li1,3, Monique Robinson1 and Andrew J.O.

Introduction The link between breastfeeding duration and subsequent development, cognition, educational, mental, psychomotor and behavioural functioning of the infant has been the subject of much scientific enquiry. Indeed, the effect of feeding on infant health and development was first discussed more than half a century ago when breastfed babies were reported to have better cognitive outcomes in childhood than artificially fed babies (Hoefer and Hardy 1929). Some studies have found striking results pertaining to the relative advantages that breastfeeding can confer on child neurodevelopment (Oddy, Kendall et al. 2003; Vohr, Poindexter et al. 2006; Kramer, Aboud et al. 2008). Breastfeeding has previously been associated with improvements across neurodevelopmental domains for low birthweight babies in comparison with not breastfeeding at all (Vohr, Poindexter et al. 2006). One study reported results from a large randomized controlled trial and found that breastfeeding for a longer duration and exclusive breastfeeding were associated with significant increases in

  • Formal Analysis of Kinship Terminologies and Its Relationship to What Constitutes Kinship (Complete Text)
    MATHEMATICAL ANTHROPOLOGY AND CULTURAL THEORY: AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL VOLUME 1 NO. 1 PAGE 1 OF 46 NOVEMBER 2000 FORMAL ANALYSIS OF KINSHIP TERMINOLOGIES AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO WHAT CONSTITUTES KINSHIP (COMPLETE TEXT) 1 DWIGHT W. READ UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90035 [email protected] Abstract The goal of this paper is to relate formal analysis of kinship terminologies to a better understanding of who, culturally, are defined as our kin. Part I of the paper begins with a brief discussion as to why neither of the two claims: (1) kinship terminologies primarily have to do with social categories and (2) kinship terminologies are based on classification of genealogically specified relationships traced through genitor and genetrix, is adequate as a basis for a formal analysis of a kinship terminology. The social category argument is insufficient as it does not account for the logic uncovered through the formalism of rewrite rule analysis regarding the distribution of kin types over kin terms when kin terms are mapped onto a genealogical grid. Any formal account must be able to account at least for the results obtained through rewrite rule analysis. Though rewrite rule analysis has made the logic of kinship terminologies more evident, the second claim must also be rejected for both theoretical and empirical reasons. Empirically, ethnographic evidence does not provide a consistent view of how genitors and genetrixes should be defined and even the existence of culturally recognized genitors is debatable for some groups. In addition, kinship relations for many groups are reckoned through a kind of kin term calculus independent of genealogical connections.

  • Cross-Linguistic Patterns in Infant Babbling
    Cross-linguistic Patterns in Infant Babbling Andreea Geambașu, Mariska Scheel, and Clara C. Levelt 1. Introduction Infants begin to vocalize very soon after birth, and they begin to babble about six months after they are born (Oller, 1980). The babbling stage is distinct from the previous phase of vocalizations in that sounds – or gestures in infants acquiring sign language – are now clearly organized in a syllabic structure. As such, these utterances are the infant’s first linguistic productions. In the works of Stark (1980) and Oller (1980), two stages were identified within the babbling phase. Babies start with reduplicated babbling when they are six to eight months old, and progress into “variegated” (Oller, 1980) or “non- reduplicated” (Stark, 1980) babbling at 10 to 12 months. Work by Koopmans- van Beinum and van der Stelt (1986) outlines a similar line of development, with reduplicated babbling beginning at six months and lasting up until at least 12 months. They do not identify a specific non-reduplicated stage during this period. In addition, Roug, Landberg, and Lundberg (1989) also identified babbling stages similar to those proposed by Oller and Stark, with reduplicated (consonant) babbling beginning at seven months, and variegated babbling beginning at 12 months. The stages identified by these researchers differ only slightly. Where they crucially converge is on the consensus that infants begin their babbling at around six to eight months old, that they begin with reduplicated utterances, and that they transition into producing variegated utterances at around 10 to 12 months. The existence of these two stages has been disseminated in introductory linguistics textbooks for years (e.g., Hoff, 2008).
