JSEALS Journal of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society Managing Editor: Paul Sidwell (Pacific Linguistics, Canberra) Editorial Advisory Board: Mark Alves (USA) George Bedell (Thailand) Marc Brunelle (Canada) Gerard Diffloth (Cambodia) Marlys Macken (USA) Brian Migliazza (USA) Keralapura Nagaraja (India) Peter Norquest (USA) Amara Prasithrathsint (Thailand) Martha Ratliff (USA) Sophana Srichampa (Thailand) Justin Watkins (UK) JSEALS is the peer-reviewed journal of the Southeast Asian Linguistics Society, and is devoted to publishing research on the languages of mainland and insular Southeast Asia. It is an electronic journal, distributed freely by Pacific Linguistics (www.pacling.com) and the JSEALS website (jseals.org). JSEALS was formally established by decision of the SEALS 17 meeting, held at the University of Maryland in September 2007. It supersedes the Conference Proceedings, previously published by Arizona State University and later by Pacific Linguistics. JSEALS welcomes articles that are topical, focused on linguistic (as opposed to cultural or anthropological) issues, and which further the lively debate that characterizes the annual SEALS conferences. Although we expect in practice that most JSEALS articles will have been presented and discussed at the SEALS conference, submission is open to all regardless of their participation in SEALS meetings. Papers are expected to be written in English. Each paper is reviewed by at least two scholars, usually a member of the Advisory Board and one or more independent readers. Reviewers are volunteers, and we are grateful for their assistance in ensuring the quality of this publication. As an additional service we also admit data papers, reports and notes, subject to an internal review process. -

Introduction 1. According to the Feasibility Study Report and RF, the Project involves neither land acquisition nor house demolition, and involves temporary land occupation only. This report aims to strengthen the development of ethnic minorities in the project area, and includes mitigation and benefit enhancing measures, and funding sources. The project area involves a number of ethnic minorities, including Yi, Hani and Lisu. B. Socioeconomic profile of ethnic minorities 2. Poverty and income: The Project involves 16 cities/prefectures in Yunnan Province. In 2013, there were 6.61 million poor population in Yunnan Province, which accounting for 17.54% of total population. In 2013, the per capita net income of rural residents in Yunnan Province was 6,141 yuan. 3. Gender Heads of households are usually men, reflecting the superior status of men. Both men and women do farm work, where men usually do more physically demanding farm work, such as fertilization, cultivation, pesticide application, watering, harvesting and transport, while women usually do housework or less physically demanding farm work, such as washing clothes, cooking, taking care of old people and children, feeding livestock, and field management. In Lijiang and Dali, Bai and Naxi women also do physically demanding labor, which is related to ethnic customs. Means of production are usually purchased by men, while daily necessities usually by women. -

Cosmogonic and Anthropogenic Myths in Sui Oral Literature DOI: 0.12775/LC.2019.028
Kamil Burkiewicz* Cosmogonic and Anthropogenic Myths in Sui Oral Literature DOI: http://dx.doi.org/1 0.12775/LC.2019.028 Abstract: This article provides a brief and selective introduction to the Sui oral literature, thematically limited to cosmogonic and anthropogenic myths. An essential description is provided of the Sui living in southern China, mainly in rural areas of the southwestern region of Guizhou Province, their society, numbering 400 thousand people many of whom still preserve indigenous customs and traditions, and their language which, as other members of the Kam-Sui branch of the Tai-Kadai family, possess analytic, isolating and tonal features. The description is followed by an explanation of the most popular motifs of the Sui oral literature, many of which are shared with neighbouring ethnic groups. Separate paragraphs are also dedicated to the genres and structural characteristics of Sui oral literature that have a special social function as the repository of people’s collective memory. The literature is exemplified through fragments of two songs recorded in Li Fanggui’s Studies on the Sui Language (1966), accompanied by English glosses and poetic renderings. The latter constitute the first attempt to translate Sui literature while preserving its syllabic structure and rhymes. 183 Keywords: Sui, oral literature, myths 2(30) 2019 * PhD in linguistics; assistant professor at the Chair of Oriental Studies, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. His research field concern languages and cultures of ethnic minorities in China, especially the Sui people, and their relations with Chinese language and culture.

Language Variation and Change in an Amdo Tibetan Village: Gender, Education and Resistance
LANGUAGE VARIATION AND CHANGE IN AN AMDO TIBETAN VILLAGE: GENDER, EDUCATION AND RESISTANCE A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics By Jermay J. Reynolds, M.A. Washington, DC March 12, 2012 Copyright 2012 by Jermay J. Reynolds All Rights Reserved ii LANGUAGE VARIATION AND CHANGE IN AN AMDO TIBETAN VILLAGE: GENDER, EDUCATION AND RESISTANCE Jermay J. Reynolds, M.A. Thesis Advisors: Natalie Schilling, Ph.D. & Robert J. Podesva, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines variation in the realization of the final bilabial nasal (m) among speakers of Amdo Tibetan farmer dialect. The bilabial nasal (m) in words like lam ‘road’, for example, neutralizes with the alveolar nasal /n/ in syllable final positions and thus becomes len. The merged variant [n] is typically described as an innovative dialect feature of farmer dialect resulting from language contact with Chinese and other languages of the area. Using sociolinguistic interview data from 60 speakers of a single (transitional mountain) farmer village in Qinghai Province in Western China, balanced in terms of sex and age and stratified by literacy, this dissertation quantitatively explores linguistic and social factors conditioning the use of the variable. The overall production pattern associated with merging is indicative of a sound change in progress, with younger speakers leading older speakers. This is perhaps the first report of a sound change in progress in a Tibetan speech community. Moreover, it finds that merging interacts with age, sex and literacy in a number of complex ways. -

A 50-Year Comparison of Regional Dialect Variation in the Sui Language 72
A 50-YEAR COMPARISON OF REGIONAL DIALECT VARIATION IN THE SUI LANGUAGE 72 James N. Stanford Dartmouth College < [email protected]> Abstract This Sui dialect geography study conducted new fieldwork to examine changes among regional dialects across a time span of 50 years. The new field results were compared to an unpublished 1950s Sui dialect survey, Shuiyu Diaocha Baogao . The results provide new insights about this particular Tai-Kadai language and also new perspectives for the study of dialects and physical space in other small, rural indigenous communities across Southeast Asia. Key words: Dialects, Dialectology, Sui, Tai-Kadai, Sociolinguistics 1. Introduction Prior work has provided a great amount of progress in understanding the structure of Tai- Kadai languages and their historical/comparative relationships (e.g., Edmondson & Solnit 1988, 1997; Diller et al. 2008). But dialect geography tends to be understudied in Tai- Kadai research, especially in small, rural communities. This is unfortunate since physical space has long been viewed as an important aspect of human language (e.g., Bloomfield 1933:476; Auer & Schmidt 2010). Recent dialect geography in other parts of the world, such as the Labov et al. (2006) Atlas of North American English and Kretzschmar’s analysis of the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States (e.g., 2009:64-145), have provided new knowledge about characteristics of human language from the perspective of well-known languages. New dialect geography research is now needed for understudied Tai-Kadai languages. In the same way that structural or historical analyses of a particular Southeast Asian language can shed light on area languages, Sui dialectology can provide insights for area languages as well. -

The Mask Making Traditions, Functions and Global Connections Among China, Africa and India
THE MASK MAKING TRADITIONS, FUNCTIONS AND GLOBAL CONNECTIONS AMONG CHINA, AFRICA AND INDIA Courtesy of China Intercontinental Press Courtesy of Dover Publications © K.L.Kamat/Kamat's Potpourri Chinese Folk Masks ©2008 Masks of Black Africa ©1976 Ladislas Segy Prepared By: Ida Owens Fulbright-Hays Seminars Abroad to China 2014 Art Educator, P.S./I.S.270Q The Gordon Parks School For Inquisitive Minds Rosedale, New York, USA PROJECT SUMMARY AND OVERVIEW This project is designed to assist grade six through eight visual arts students in their understanding and appreciation for other cultures through mask making. Though this project focuses on the visual arts, it can be modified to function also as an interdisciplinary unit for social studies, language arts, music and dance. With further modification, it is quite possible that this unit can be adapted for a grade five through eight curriculum unit. Cultural heritage influences every aspect of life. Its presence can be experienced within communities of the world through various modes of expression. In this unit, students will explore the cultural significance of expressive masks and the role they play within a social context. This unit emphasizes the significance of masks cross culturally, and focuses on the meaning behind the mask. From the beginning of ancient tradition and time, ceremony, ritual, music, art, dance and theatre have played a vital role in the social context and in the cycle of man from birth to death. This unit encourages students to look closely at how the mask has been incorporated into this life cycle within specific regions, ethnic tribes, and nationalities of China, India and West Africa.
