Sadly, this did not last. As humanity advanced and travelled, more and more languages came into conflict with others. As is the case with most conflicts, only one party is the winner. In this case, the losing language was usually suppressed and driven to the brink of extinction if not completely wiped out. All too often, the victim was an indigenous language belOonging to a single people whose fate followed that of their language. This has to stop. This year, 201 9, has been declared as the International Year of Indigenous Languages by the United Nations. It is an effort to raise awareness of the troubles facing indigenous languages around the world. Individuals and groups create their own projects and events to help the cause. It was decided to dedicate a special issue of Parrot Time to indigenous languages as our own contribution to this important movement. We've got articles on Marshallese, Vurës, Tuvaluan, Romani, Nahuatl, and more! Plus an interview with author and publisher Dr Emily McEwan.

  • Revisiting the Insular Celtic Hypothesis Through Working Towards an Original Phonetic Reconstruction of Insular Celtic
    Mind Your P's and Q's: Revisiting the Insular Celtic hypothesis through working towards an original phonetic reconstruction of Insular Celtic Rachel N. Carpenter Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Colleges 0.0 Abstract: Mac, mac, mac, mab, mab, mab- all mean 'son', inis, innis, hinjey, enez, ynys, enys - all mean 'island.' Anyone can see the similarities within these two cognate sets· from orthographic similarity alone. This is because Irish, Scottish, Manx, Breton, Welsh, and Cornish2 are related. As the six remaining Celtic languages, they unsurprisingly share similarities in their phonetics, phonology, semantics, morphology, and syntax. However, the exact relationship between these languages and their predecessors has long been disputed in Celtic linguistics. Even today, the battle continues between two firmly-entrenched camps of scholars- those who favor the traditional P-Celtic and Q-Celtic divisions of the Celtic family tree, and those who support the unification of the Brythonic and Goidelic branches of the tree under Insular Celtic, with this latter idea being the Insular Celtic hypothesis. While much reconstructive work has been done, and much evidence has been brought forth, both for and against the existence of Insular Celtic, no one scholar has attempted a phonetic reconstruction of this hypothesized proto-language from its six modem descendents. In the pages that follow, I will introduce you to the Celtic languages; explore the controversy surrounding the structure of the Celtic family tree; and present a partial phonetic reconstruction of Insular Celtic through the application of the comparative method as outlined by Lyle Campbell (2006) to self-collected data from the summers of2009 and 2010 in my efforts to offer you a novel perspective on an on-going debate in the field of historical Celtic linguistics.

Timmerman Thesis Committee: Katherine T. Ratliffe, Chairperson Lois A. Yamauchi E. Brook Chapman de Sousa Keywords: Micronesia, Parents, Developmental Screening, Early Childhood Development, Early Childhood Milestones, Cultural Practices COFA PARENTS AND EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT 2 Abstract Recently there has been a significant increase in the number of COFA citizens emigrating to the US. Reasons for emigration include seeking employment and education opportunities, and improved healthcare. To advocate for early childhood health and well-being while optimizing cultural sensitivity, it is important to understand parenting perspectives of COFA citizens. Twenty adults (13 women, 7 men) from Chuuk and the Marshall Islands participated in five focus groups to discuss how parents care for and raise children between birth and five years old. Strategies emphasized by participants were maintaining nutrition, using local medicines, and observing children’s growth. Implications include how healthcare providers who work with Chuukese and Marshallese parents can link conversations about development with nutrition, and that these findings can help inform healthcare providers about local medicine practices. Additionally, educators can use these findings to further their understanding of the cultures and family backgrounds of Chuukese and Marshallese students.

  • Object Clitics for Subject Clitics in the Franco-Provençal Dialects of Apulia1
    Object clitics for subject clitics in the Franco-Provençal dialects of Apulia1. An analysis within Chomsky’s (2020) model Leonardo M. Savoia and Benedetta Baldi Università di Firenze (<[email protected]>; <[email protected]>) Abstract The relation between auxiliaries and argumental properties of the lexical verbs is the question raised by the facts we will investigate. Other issues are posed by the role and the behavior of deictic clitic pronouns in different contexts and in the clitic string. The data examined in this contribution come mainly from the Franco-Provençal dialects spoken in the villages of Celle San Vito and Faeto in North Apulia; these dialects are the heritage linguistic use of ancient minorities dating back to the thirteenth century. We will briefly compare these data with the related data of the Franco-Provençal varieties of West Piedmont. The analysis we propose relies on the idea that auxiliary verbs are not functional elements but preserve their lexical properties, as shown by the identic syntactic behavior of be in its different occurrences. The theoretical frame we follow is the formulation proposed in Chomsky (2020a,b), based on the merge operation and the Labeling Algorithm, leading to a more appropriate treatment of ‘head movement’ and agreeing syntactic structures. Keywords: OCls for SCls, auxiliary, copula, participle, DOM 1. The distribution of SCls and OCls in Apulian Franco-Provençal In the villages of Celle and Faeto (North Apulia) a Franco-Provençal dialect is spoken, brought here by the people that, approximately in the 13th century, founded these settlements. Apulian Franco- Provençal shows a system of pronominal clitics (Subject Clitics and Object Clitics) well documented for the dialects of their original area (Southern France, Aosta Valley and West Piedmont).

This study examines this preverbal particle system from a diachronic and synchronic perspective to shed light on issues of language contact, change, endangerment, and maintenance. The diachronic source of this system has important implications regarding its current and future status. My research indicates that this system is an ancient feature of the language, deriving from contact between the original inhabitants of Gascony, who spoke Basque or an ancestral form of the language, and the Romans who conquered the region in 56 B.C.

  • Trusmadoor and Other Cumbrian `Pass' Words
    Trusmadoor and Other Cumbrian `Pass' Words Diana Whaley University of Newcastle Nobody ever sang the praises of Trusmadoor, and it's time someone did. This lonely passage between the hills, an obvious and easy way for man and beast and beloved by wheeling buzzards and hawks, has a strange nostalgic charm. Its neat and regular proportions are remarkable—a natural `railway cutting'. What a place for an ambush and a massacre!1 No ambushes or massacres are promised in the following pages, but it will be argued that the neglected name of Trusmadoor holds excitements of a quieter kind. I will consider its etymology and wider onomastic and historical context and significance, and point to one or possibly two further instances of its rare first element. In the course of the discussion I will suggest alternative interpretations of two lost names in Cumbria. Trusmadoor lies among the Uldale Fells in Cumbria, some five miles east of the northern end of Bassenthwaite Lake (National Grid Reference NY2733). An ascending defile, it runs south-east, with Great Cockup to its west and Meal Fell to the north-east. The top of the pass forms a V-shaped frame for splendid views north over the Solway Firth some twenty miles away. Trusmadoor is a significant enough landscape feature to appear on the Ordnance Survey (OS) One Inch and 1:50,000 maps of the area, yet it is unrecorded, so far as I know, until its appearance on the First Edition Six Inch OS map of 1867. In the absence of early spellings one would normally be inclined to leave the name well alone, a practice followed, intentionally or not, by the editors of the English Place-Name Society survey of Cumberland.2 However, to speakers or readers of Welsh the name is fairly transparent.
