Nineteenth century mission­ aries named this language after the site of an early mission station . Speakers of the language today ordinarily call it Nfninffe, or Nffe (saying what, or what). Pioneer missionary linguists produced a body of religious and educa­ tional material in Kwamera (e.g. A. watt 1890; w. Watt 1880, 1890, 1919) but never attempted a comprehensive dictionary . (Ferguson 1918:22 notes that watt published an English dictionary on Tanna in 1887 but as no copies of this work have been found , it is not known whether this was bilingual .) Kwamera is the most different of five related Tanna languages. The language area extends from Iasur volcano in the east down and around the southern tip of the island to Karimasaga Point , immed iately to the north of Green Point . In an area characterised by dialect chains , it is often mi sleading to map linguistic boundaries . The Tannese themselves, however , concerned with the value and distinctiveness of their languages, recognise geographic bounds which separate Kw amera from White Sands language to the north , and from South-west Tanna language to the west. Tradition situates the northern boundary in the centre of Ipikil village on Sulphur Bay . Two stones lie side-by-side near the sea: the northerly named Narhak (the local name for White Sands language) ; the southerly named N�fe . Karimasaga Point simi larly marks a socially-recognised (if not actual ) linguistic boundary between Kw amera and South-west Tanna (see map ) . This dictionary is a by-product of an initial twenty-two months period of anthropological fieldwork in Vanuatu during 1978 and 1979 . I returned to Tanna in 1982 and again in 1983 for a subsequent six mo nths linguistic research . Tannese languages all subsume a number of village and area microdialects . In the main , dialectal difference is lexical rather than phonological or gramma­ tical . A set of key dialectical cognates serves to identify or situate a speaker as resident of a particular village or place within his language area. Speakers of each microdialect judge their own linguistic style to be mo st correct and pleasing. I collected the greater part of the data on which this dictionary is based from the vil lage of Samaria (Iankahar) . I include , however , those alternate forms which people ordinarily remark as having mo st symbolic value in demonstrating a person 's affiliation with one of four other regions in the language area. These are Port Resolution , Imaki , Kw amera (the southern coast) , and what is here called the 'mountain area ' (villages situated in the hills west of Samaria). The dictionary is in no sense dialectically complete , however . Because of the accident of research site selection , it must be considered Samaria-centric. v vi The dictionary is organised to complement the recent , more detailed and exten­ sive linguistic research and description of Tanna languages by Lynch (1977, 1978a, 1982) and Tryon (1976) . Kw amera grammar is substantially similar to that of the Lenakel and South-west Tanna languages ; this dictionary may be used in conj unction with Lynch 's grammars of these two languages . I mean this dictionary partially to repay the welcome , friendship , and assist­ ance given me by the people of South-east Tanna . This is only a preliminary accounting of Kwamera. I expect linguistically trained Kw amera speakers, in the very near future , to record in more accurate detail the breadth and complexity of their language . I hope that this dictionary might provide them a starting point in their task . ORGAN ISATION This dictionary takes as its model Lynch 's Lenakel (1977) and South-west Tanna (1982) lexicons . As such , it contains two sections . The first lists Kw amera words with English glosses and the gross grammatical categories to which they belong . A number of phrases , idioms , and sentences illustrate range of meaning and usage for many of these words . Illustrative sentences , in so far as this was possible, were taken from everyday conversational interaction . A second section serves as an English index to the first. ORTHOGRAPHY The Kwamera alphabet contains the following 21 letters : a, e, f, fw, g, h, i, i, k, kw, m, mw, n, 0, p, pw, r, 5, t, U, V. Kwamera phonology is generally similar to that of South-west Tanna and Lenakel. Readers may refer to Lynch (1978a, 1982) for the details of phonological rules . The following pronunci­ ation guide , however , represents the basics of the Kwamera phonological system . a sounds like a in English fa ther. e sounds like e in English pet . f sounds like f in English foot. fw sounds like fw in English of wh ich. 9 sounds like ng in English ring. h sounds like h in English house. When h comes after g, m, mw, n, r, or v, the preceding sound is devoiced (whispered) . between consonants sounds like i in English win; next to a vowel sounds like y in English yet. i sounds like e in English fa ther. k at the beginning or end of a word sounds like k in English ki ll; in the middle of words sounds like 9 in English ago . kw at the beginning or end of a word sounds like kw in English back way; in the middle of words sounds like gw in English dogwood. m sounds like m in English mother . mw sounds like mw in English tramway . n sounds like n in English net . o sounds like 0 in English open . p at the beginning or end of a word sounds like p in English pi g; in the middle of words sounds like b in English table . vii pw at the beginning or end of a word sounds like pw in English up wi th; in the middle of words sounds like bw in English bobwhi te. r is flapped at the beginning and middle of words and trilled at the end . s sounds like s in English sea . t at the beginning or end of a word sounds like t in English tablet; in the middle of words sounds like d in English ladder. U between consonants sounds like u in English push; next to a vowel sounds like w in English west. v has no corresponding sound in English ; similar to w but with the lips spread rather than rounded . The above orthographic system is based for comparison on earlier work by Lynch . A Tanna orthographic commi ttee is presently devising an alphabet to be used primarily for educational material . The committee has made a number of preli­ minary decisions and the following substitutions may be made for the above symbols : , e e + e , fw f mw m 9 ng pw p y (when next to a vowe l) u w (next to a vowel) Stress generally occurs on the second last syllable of a word .

They’re called ‘digital natives’, having grown up with the internet around them. Gen Z’s environment shapes their preferences: 66% of them use more than one internet device at a time, 75% strongly prefer their smartphone to other devices and the average Gen Z’er spends 10 and a half hours online daily. They spend 23 hours a week online watching video content, and prefer short- form content on TikTok or YouTube. Feeling the pressure to be perfect on Instagram, Gen Z are looking for other ways to connect online, leading to younger audiences on networks like TikTok and Snapchat.

  • Changing Role of INFLUENCERS
    SOCIAL LIKEMEDIA NEVER BEFORE: HOW BRANDS CAN NAVIGATE 2021 INTRO “You don’t need us to tell you this year’s been like no other. It will have lasting implications on all our futures, and social media has played a key role. It’s never been more instrumental in keeping us in touch, entertained and able to buy what we need (or want) and as a result of consumer behaviour changes and ultrafast platform developments, the world of social media has exploded. To say it’s a new world is wrong; it’s a new universe; comprising new cultures, new languages, and new players from political activists to gamers. With the wrong pilot you will crash and burn. For brands, this can be daunting, but the temptation to either run blindly away from 2020 or to attempt some version of 2019’s business of usual must be avoided. Social will mean something very different to your target consumers next year, but it’s never been a more important channel with which to reach them.” Danielle Smith, Managing Director, Communicator SOCIAL EVOLUTIONS GAMING: THE NEW SOCIAL MEDIA CONNECTING & DISCONNECTING CHANGING ROLE OF INFLUENCERS ACTION AND INFORMATION RISE OF SOCIAL COMMERCE Social EVOLUTIONS The 87% of FACTS TIKTOK USERS think Instagram Reels is ‘basically the same’ but Social is constantly evolving, which can mean constantly that doesn’t mean it’s enough to make them switch contradicting itself.

  • Resource Integration, Value Co-Creation, and Service-Dominant Logic in Music Marketing: the Case of the Tiktok Platform
    International Journal of Music Business Research • xx • 2021 DOI: 10.2478/ijmbr-2021-0002 International Journal of Music Business Research Resource Integration, Value Co-Creation, and Service-dominant Logic in Music Marketing: The Case of the TikTok Platform Research Article Benjamin Toscher* Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway Received February 4, 2020; Accepted November 3, 2020 Abstract: It is a fact that the past research has explored service-dominant logic (S-D logic) and value co-creation in music marketing (Choi & Burnes 2013; Gamble & Gilmorex 2013; Gamble 2018; Saragih 2019), yet a key aspect of S-D logic, namely resource integration, is an unexplored territory and a promising phenomenon of study. A scattering of evidence demonstrates how actors, whether individuals or organisations, in the music industry are making value propositions and providing operand resources to users of platforms (Poell, Nieborg, & Van Dijck 2019), which may result in resource integration and commercial success at a quick pace and on a global scale. Using secondary data in an archival research approach (Welch 2000), this paper examines TikTok, a rapidly growing platform where users integrate short (e.g., under 15 s) clips of commercial music into user generated video content in which users dance to, lip-sync with, accept social challenges, integrate hashtags and create memes based on musical content. Further, there is a discussion on evidence about how music is being

Everybody who knows me, I’ve never been in a boring fight. I go out there and fight. An exhibition isn’t us, Vitor and I have too much at stake. When I see Belfort I can see in his eyes how proud he is of his legacy and I feel the same way too and I respect that.” “While I respect you brother, (Belfort), I can tell you one thing, we are going to kick the shit out of each other, that’s one thing for sure.” “This is not a game, I literally said if we’re going to do this, let’s do this for real.
