It followed 27 first graders who learned addition and subtraction using an experimental curriculum. The instruction involved a didactical model combining the context of two stories with a structured part-part-whole schema. In addition to collecting data from the whole class, eight children were individually interviewed. The development of their additive structure was examined by comparing the

Cultural anthropology should be the study in depth of human beings and the application of that knowledge to a deeper understanding of one’s own beliefs and practices. Robert Knox Dentan, applying lessons learned among Semai to contemporary American problems, succeeds admirably in a way that makes one proud to be an anthropologist. Overwhelming Terror was written by a man of perceptive mind and OVERWHELMING TERROR loving heart.” —Carol Laderman, City College–CUNY This powerful ethnography of a people believed to be the least violent in the world LOVE, FEAR, PEACE, AND VIOLENCE explores how they maintain peaceful relations even under the most dire circum- AMONG SEMAI OF MALAYSIA stances. Robert Knox Dentan, the world’s foremost scholar of Semai, brings its mem- bers vividly to life. His book includes translations of their poetry, dramatized accounts of particular events, and narratives in their own words. Throughout, the author highlights the mechanisms and costs of peace, underscoring their relevance to everyday life in all societies. Students and scholars of peace studies, conflict res- olution, ethnography, and Southeast Asia will find this unique work an invaluable and compelling study. Robert Knox Dentan is professor emeritus of anthropology at State University of New York at Buffalo.

    VOWEL HARMONY AND SOME RELATED PROCESSES IN FUNGWA by Samuel Kayode Akinbo BA (Hons) Linguistics, University of Ibadan, 2012 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Linguistics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2021 © Samuel Kayode Akinbo, 2021 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the dissertation entitled: Vowel harmony and related processes in Fungwa submitted by Samuel Kayode Akinbo in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics Examining Committee: Douglas Pulleyblank, Linguistics, UBC Supervisor Gunnar Olafur´ Hansson, Linguistics, UBC Supervisory Committee Member Rose-Marie Dechaine,´ Linguistics, UBC Supervisory Committee Member Anne-Michelle Tessier, Linguistics, UBC University Examiner Jessica de Villiers, English Language & Literatures, UBC University Examiner ii Abstract This dissertation investigates vowel harmony and some related processes in Fungwa, which is an endangered Kainji language spoken in Nigeria. In the language, there are two kinds of vowel harmony. In the first pattern of vowel harmony, the vowels of CV prefixes and clitics agree in backness with the vowel of the adjacent root syllable. However, V prefixes and proclitics do not exhibit this vowel harmony. I argue that the domain of harmony is subject to a word minimality condition and the requirement for an initial onset. The integration of CV prefixes and clitics into the harmonic domain with the root morpheme is forced bythe minimality condition. To satisfy the onset requirement on the domain of harmony, V pre- fixes and proclitics are excluded from the harmonic domain.

  • The Brisbane Sound
    THE BRISBANE SOUND Scott Bradley Regan BMus, BMus (Hons) DOCTORAL THESIS By CREATIVE WORKS Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2019 Abstract What is the Brisbane Sound, and what does it actually sound like? Many cities are said to have their own musical ‘sound’, for example, the Liverpool Sound (Cohen 1994), the Dunedin Sound (McLeay 1994; Mitchell 1996; Bannister 2006), and the Canterbury Sound (Bennett 2002). Brisbane, Australia is no different. Since the late 1970s, music journalists and other cultural intermediaries (Bourdieu 1984) have constructed the idea of a ‘Brisbane Sound’, and used it to consecrate a specific cohort of bands that emerged during the ‘five golden years’ of Brisbane music history, between 1978 and 1983. Yet, despite the cultural currency and prevalence of the trope in subcultural parlance, this so-called Brisbane Sound has remained entirely absent from existing scholarly literature about the local Brisbane music scene. This Doctoral Thesis by Creative Works aims to remedy this gap, and in doing so, contributes new knowledge to our understanding of Brisbane popular music history and cultural memory. It also proposes a novel way of addressing the perennial conundrum of music’s ineffability, by using music to explain music. I take an interdisciplinary approach to answer the question ‘what does the Brisbane Sound sound like?’ by adapting methods from three key fields: cultural studies, popular musicology, and creative practice. First, I collate and analyse how the Brisbane Sound trope has been defined in media discourses over time.
