Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis Essays on Cultural and Institutional Dynamics in Economic Development Using Spatial Analysis by Timothy Birabi Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Adam Smith Business School College of Social Sciences University of Glasgow April 2016 ©Timothy Birabi i Abstract This thesis seeks to research patterns of economic growth and development from a number of perspectives often resonated in the growth literature. By addressing themes about history, geography, institutions and culture the thesis is able to bring to bear a wide range of inter-related literatures and methodologies within a single content. Additionally, by targeting different administrative levels in its research design and approach, this thesis is also able to provide a comprehensive treatment of the economic growth dilemma from both cross- national and sub-national perspectives. The three chapters herein discuss economic development from two broad dimensions. The first of these chapters takes on the economic growth inquiry by attempting to incorporate cultural geography within a cross-country formal spatial econometric growth framework. By introducing the global cultural dynamics of languages and ethnic groups as spatial network mechanisms, this chapter is able to distinguish economic growth effects accruing from own-country productive efforts from those accruing from interconnections within a global productive network chain. From this, discussions and deductions about the implications for both developed and developing countries are made as regards potentials for gains and losses from such types and levels of productive integration. The second and third chapters take a different spin to the economic development inquiry. They both focus on economic activity in Africa, tackling the relevant issues from a geo-intersected dimension involving historic regional tribal homelands and modern national and subnational administrative territories. The second chapter specifically focuses on attempting to adopt historical channels to investigate the connection between national institutional quality and economic development in demarcated tribal homelands at the fringes of national African borders. The third chapter on the other hand focuses on looking closer at the effects of demarcations on economic activity. It particularly probes how different kinds of demarcation warranted by two different but very relevant classes of politico-economic players have affected economic activity quite distinguishably within the resulting subnational regions in Africa. i ii Table of Contents ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................I LIST OF TABLES ........................................................................................................................

  • For Peer Review the Production of Norwegian Lexical Pitch Accents by Multilingual Non-Native Speakers
    International Journal of Bilingualism For Peer Review The production of Norwegian lexical pitch accents by multilingual non-native speakers Journal: International Journal of Bilingualism Manuscript ID IJB-16-0042.R2 Manuscript Type: Original Article Non-native tones, Norwegian, Swahili, Lingala, Multilingualism, Keywords: Spontaneous speech, Second language acquistion Aim and objectives/purpose/research questions: The aim of this study is to examine the extent to which multilingual second language speakers of Norwegian manage to produce lexical pitch accents (L*H¯ or H*LH¯) as expected in natural spontaneous speech. Using native speech as a reference, we analyze realizations of multilingual speakers whose respective dominant languages are Lingala, a lexical tone language, and Swahili, a non-tonal language with fixed stress, and hypothesize that this difference might be reflected in the speakers’ competence in the East Norwegian tone system. Design/methodology/approach: We examined a corpus of spontaneous speech produced by eight L2 speakers and two native speakers of East Norwegian. Acoustic analysis was performed to collect fundamental frequency (f0) contours of 60 accentual phrases per speaker. Data and analysis: For LH and HLH tonal patterns, measuring points were Abstract: defined for quantitative evaluation of f0 values. Relevant aspects investigated were (a) pattern consistency, (b) f0 dynamic range and (c) rate of f0 change. Pattern consistency data were statistically evaluated using chi-square. Dynamic range and rate of f0 change data were explored through to linear mixed effects models. Findings/conclusions: We found no really substantial differences between the speaker groups in the parameters we examined, neither between the L2 speakers and the Norwegian natives nor between the Lingala and Swahili speakers.

Issues concerning the inflected t-form in Sylheti Jonas Lau SOAS, University of London Abstract Among the discussions about cross-linguistic comparability of grammatical categories within the field of linguistic typology (cf. Cristofaro 2009; Haspelmath 2007), one in particular seems to be especially controversial: is there really such a category as irrealis? This term has been used extensively in descriptive works and grammars to name all kinds of grammatical morphemes occurring in various modal and non-modal contexts. However, cross-linguistic evidence for a unitary category that shares invariant semantic features has not been attested (Bybee 1998:266).

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • DR Congo and Other People with Good Understanding of the Proverbs and Wise Sayings
    A COLLECTION OF 100 TAABWA (D R CONGO) PROVERBS AND WISE SAYINGS By ETOKA MALISAWA PETER African Proverbs Working Group Nairobi, Kenya MAY 2017 DEDICATION I dedicate this work to almighty God the source of my life, my strength and inspiration. I also appreciate the moral contribution of my lovely family and all members of Taabwa ethnic group wherever they are. ACKNOWLODGEMENT I want to address strongly my acknowledgement to Mr. Dunia Freza for his contribution on collection of these Taabwa Proverbs. I would like too to address my sincere acknowledgement to the entire staff of African Proverbs Working Group, Fr. J Healey, Cephas and Margaret ireri for considered my proposal and particularly to Mr. Elias Bushiri Elie for guided me in a smart way in this work from the beginning up to its end.

    J. N. ADAMS – P. M. BRENNAN THE TEXT AT LACTANTIUS, DE MORTIBUS PERSECUTORUM 44.2 AND SOME EPIGRAPHIC EVIDENCE FOR ITALIAN RECRUITS aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 84 (1990) 183–186 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 183 THE TEXT AT LACTANTIUS, DE MORTIBUS PERSECUTORUM 44.2 AND SOME EPIGRAPHIC EVIDENCE FOR ITALIAN RECRUITS At Lact. Mort. 44.2 the transmitted text (C = Codex Colbertinus, BN 2627) runs: 'plus uirium Maxentio erat, quod et patris sui exercitum receperat a Seuero et suum proprium de Mauris atque Italis nuper extraxerat'. Modern editors (Brandt-Laubmann, Moreau, Creed) have accepted Heumann's conjecture G(a)etulis for Italis without discussion.1 But is the change necessary? Much depends on the interpretation of extraxerat. Creed translates… '... his own (army), which he had recently brought over from the Mauri and the Gaetuli' (our italics). In his note (p.118) he finds here an allusion to 'the rebellion against Maxentius of L. Domitius Alexander, vicarius of Africa, which probably began in 308 and was probably crushed by the end of 309'. On this view the troops will have been 'brought over' from Africa after the rebellion was put down. Creed's translation is along the same lines as that of Moreau… I, p.126 'il venait de faire revenir la sienne propre du pays des Maures et des Gétules'.2 In their eagerness to find a reference to L. Domitius Alexander, Moreau and Creed have mistranslated extraxerat. Neither editor attempts to explain how a verb basically meaning 'drag out of' could acquire the sense 'bring over, cause to return'.

  • Manchineri/Manchineri/Aruak (1) Alternate Names: Machinere, Maneteneri, Manairisu, Maxineri
    1. Description 1.1 Name of society, language, and language family: Manchineri/Manchineri/Aruak (1) Alternate names: Machinere, Maneteneri, Manairisu, Maxineri 1.2 ISO code (3 letter code from ethnologue.com): MPD 1.3 Location (latitude/longitude): The traditional homeland of the Manchineri was on the Purus River (Lat. 9 degrees south, longitude 69-71 degrees west (14). Modern Manchineri occupy an area in the southern region of the state of Acre as well as scattered points in both Peru and Bolivia. In Brazil, the Manchineri are largely confined to the Mamoadate Indigenous Territory and the Guanabara Seringal (Rubber Extraction Area) with smaller populations living along the São Francisco and Macauã rivers, and in the city of Assis Brasil.(1) The Mamoadate Indigenous Territory is 313,647 ha in size and located next to the Iaco river (whose headwaters are found in Peru), beginning at the Mamoadate creek and extending as far as Brazil’s border with Peru (1). 1.4 Brief history: Linguistically they are related to the Piro. Nineteenth century explorer Antônio Loureiro identified the Manchineri as natural inhabitants of the Macauã and Caiaté rivers in the 1880’s (5). Some Manchineri contradict this report, claiming that their parents and grandparents had occupied that area for a long time. 1.5 Influence of missionaries/schools/governments/powerful neighbors: Large-scale invasions of the region in the 19th century led to correrias (massacres), and pressured native populations from Peru towards Brazil (by caucho rubber extractors), and from the Amazon towards Bolivia (by rubber tappers). Natives who avoided the correrias often served the invaders, initially as guides and later as labor for rubber extraction.
