Texts collected and published by E. S. Craighil Handy in 1930 as well as the important collection of Marquesan legends prepared by Henri Lavondes are employed for the description and analysis of complex sentences containing dependent clauses of temporal meaning. All documents used illustrate the linguistic situation on the islands and demonstrate the existing differences concerning phonology (especially the consonantal system), just as the functioning of the grammatical category of deverbalization in syntax. Key words: Marquesan syntax, complex sentence, territorial clause, nominal particles, deverbalization, southeastern and northwestern dialects of Marquesan. The Marquesas may be regarded as the first archipelago to have been discovered by Europeans in the Eastern Pacific and as a matter of chance the Marquesas were settled by the population of East Polynesian type earlier than other islands situated to the east of Melanesia.1 The archipelago obviously played an active role in the process of gradual settling of some other groups of islands in this region (probably Mangareva, Easter Island). The question of whether the early voyages were accidental or intentional is too foggy to reply - the voyagers may have decided to discover a new island group and at the same 1 SUGGS, C. R.

  • The Economics of Sports Peter Mazey – November 2019

    The Economics of Sports Peter Mazey – November 2019

    THE ECONOMICS OF SPORTS PETER MAZEY – NOVEMBER 2019 The President and members of FIA Fellow presenters Ladies and Gentlemen Is Investment in Sports economical? I am hoping that by the end of my presentation the answer will be a resounding yes and that maybe some of you will be proactive and work towards increasing investment in Sports in Fiji especially through Corporate Sponsorship. I am hoping that today I can dispel some thoughts and comments on our current investments in Sport as being “a waste of money”. Currently our media do not say much or even investigate the benefits of our investment and most comments are through social media, or letters to the editor, and they appear mainly negative, especially after our recent performance and results in the World Cup Rugby Tournament in Japan. “Negative comments were published that our $2.5million investment in the preparation of our team to the world cup should have gone to new schools, housing or roads.” NO one asked or pointed out the return on that investment. But we do receive comments when requesting Companies to provide sponsorship such as “Im sorry but my Finance Manager or Accountants advice we cant afford to sponsor sports or it is a waste of money.” Thankfully more and more companies are seeing the benefits and the return on their investment. The economics of sports as with all accounting is measurable and looks at: - Income and Expenditure – Benefits Received and Associated Cost - Profit or Loss - Return on Investment We look at issues relating to the economic return of our investments

    Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands

    Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands First compiled by Nancy Sack and Gwen Sinclair Updated by Nancy Sack Current to January 2020 Library of Congress Subject Headings for the Pacific Islands Background An inquiry from a librarian in Micronesia about how to identify subject headings for the Pacific islands highlighted the need for a list of authorized Library of Congress subject headings that are uniquely relevant to the Pacific islands or that are important to the social, economic, or cultural life of the islands. We reasoned that compiling all of the existing subject headings would reveal the extent to which additional subjects may need to be established or updated and we wish to encourage librarians in the Pacific area to contribute new and changed subject headings through the Hawai‘i/Pacific subject headings funnel, coordinated at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.. We captured headings developed for the Pacific, including those for ethnic groups, World War II battles, languages, literatures, place names, traditional religions, etc. Headings for subjects important to the politics, economy, social life, and culture of the Pacific region, such as agricultural products and cultural sites, were also included. Scope Topics related to Australia, New Zealand, and Hawai‘i would predominate in our compilation had they been included. Accordingly, we focused on the Pacific islands in Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia (excluding Hawai‘i and New Zealand). Island groups in other parts of the Pacific were also excluded. References to broader or related terms having no connection with the Pacific were not included. Overview This compilation is modeled on similar publications such as Music Subject Headings: Compiled from Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Subject Headings in Jewish Studies.

    FIJI SPORTS HALL OF FAME The FIJI SPORTS HALL OF FAME was inaugurated in 990 by the Fiji Association of Sports and National Olympic Committee, as an everlasting tribute to sportsmen and sportswomen of Fiji. The Hall of Fame acknowledges and honours Fiji’s super athletes who for over 65 years have competed in Fiji and abroad against the best in the world. Many have excelled and brought glory and fame to themselves, their sport and to Fiji as a nation and deserve to be recognized and remembered by the people of Fiji. FASANOC is able to provide the avenue for recognition of these great sportspeople through the Fiji Sports Hall of Fame that is currently based at Fiji Olympic House, Suva. Every year nominations are called for from National Sporting bodies and members of the general public. FASANOC is grateful to those who support this prestigious Awards recognition initiative. The selection of the successful candidates is always the responsibilty of an independant panel of judges, whose decision is final.

    Interview with Kaleo Wong, Hokule'a Navigator Australia

    Interview with Kaleo Wong, Hokule’a navigator Australia, 2015 Stephanie: Anyways, yeah, but you didn't grow up that way? You didn't grow up on the water? Kaleo: I did. I did but not so much on boats or voyaging canoes, mostly just from shore - fishing diving surfing, throwing net, paddling canoe. Not until did I start going on Hokule'a did I start sailing. S: So where did you grow up? K: I grew up on Oahu, in Kalama Valley. I grew up at Sandy beach, that's where I learned how to surf, swim about the ocean, about the whole east side of Oahu where I learned to dive and fish, paddle canoe. But it wasn't till I started sailing with Uncle Bruce that I started to go out onto the open ocean. Yeah, he’s the best. [Minute 1:00-15:00 not transcribed, including introduction of Matahi Tutavae, a navigator from Tahiti] Matahi: I guess we're kind of scared to make mistakes talking about speaking Hawaiian and Tahitian, is Tahitian kind of taking over for a- it's like a new colonization. Tahitian is spoken by the majority of people so the Marquesan language, the Paumo language are kind of what you call that influenced by all this. Some of the dialects use Tahitian words instead of using their own. more talking about language. K: French Polynesia is becoming French and Polynesian. M: Scholars, and people working for the language academies – so that people actually know that this word belongs to this dialect and vice versa.
