Finally, §1.3 outlines the structure of the dissertation. 1 The quote would be written in my Phuthi orthography with morpheme and interlinear glosses (breathy voice/depression diacritics, morpheme boundaries have been added, but not tone): u- ya- dl al-a mu-tfu lo- tshi ku- ga- rud - w - a (e)ba- tfwana SP 1-T/A-play-T/A NC 1-person NC 1REL -say NC 17- NEG -teach- PASS -T/A NC 2-children He - plays person who-says there-should-not-be-taught children u- dl al-a ge- ma- tshe ema-ti a- kona SP _NC 1-play-T/A INSTR -NC 6-water NC 6- water SP (P)6-there [SP (P)6 = ‘subject prefix he-plays with-spittle water it-being-there. -
Deverbal Nominals in Xhosa
DEVERBAL NOMINALS IN XHOSA BY LOYISO KEVIN MLETSHE Dissertation presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (African Languages) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof M.W. Visser DECEMBER 2010 ii DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: November 2010 Copyright © 2010 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved iii ABSTRACT The relationship between deverbative noun classification and their effect on the semantic meaning of the derived deverbal nominal has been the focus of many studies in linguistics, with special reference to African languages in recent years. The study maintains that the descriptive analysis of deverbal nominals in African languages does not fully interrogate the predicate argument structures of the verbs that host these deverbal nominals. This thesis is an investigation of how the syntactic properties of verbs from which deverbal nouns are derived are invoked in explaining the argument structure and event structure properties of deverbal nouns, particularly in Xhosa. The analysis presented here is situated in terms of a lexical semantic representation drawing on Pustejovsky (1996) and Busa (1996), which aims to capture linguistically relevant components of meaning. Chapter 1 presents the purpose and aims of the study, and states the theoretical paradigm on which this study is couched, namely Pustejovsky’s (1996) generative lexicon theory as well as the methodology for conducting the research. -
The Use of the Augment in Nguni Languages with Special Reference to the Referentiality of the Noun Eva-Marie Bloom Ström & Matti Miestamo
[Draft, August 2020; to appear in Lutz Marten, Rozenn Guérois, Hannah Gibson & Eva-Marie Bloom-Ström (eds), Morphosyntactic Variation in Bantu. Oxford: Oxford University Press.] The use of the augment in Nguni languages with special reference to the referentiality of the noun Eva-Marie Bloom Ström & Matti Miestamo Abstract This chapter examines the use of the augment, a prefix preceding the noun class prefix, in a number of language varieties in the Nguni subgroup of Bantu languages. The study of these closely related varieties, which show striking similarities as well as differences in the use of the augment, gives new insights into developmental tendencies of the augment. All contexts in which the augment can be omitted are non-fact contexts. Contrary to what has previously been argued for some varieties, however, we find that the presence vs. absence of the augment does not mark a referentiality distinction. It is argued that referentiality constitutes a semantic and pragmatic explanation to the absence and presence of the augment in different contexts in a diachronic perspective, but that this function is eroded in present-day Nguni. What remains is a limited referentiality distinction for some speakers in some varieties. The loss of function explains why the augment is included in the noun in nearly all contexts in some varieties, and omitted everywhere in others. Due to its loss of function, the augment has become free to participate in sociolinguistic and stylistic variation in some Bantu languages. Key-words: negation, non-fact, referentiality, augment, morphosyntax, Nguni 1. Introduction The aim of this paper is to explore the connection between the use of a nominal prefix in Bantu referred to as the augment1 and (non-)referentiality, such as has been claimed to exist in Swati: 2 (1) a. -

The Killing of Women in 'Sex Games Gone Wrong': an Analysis Of
1 THE KILLING OF WOMEN IN ‘SEX GAMES GONE WRONG’: AN ANALYSIS OF FEMICIDES IN GREAT BRITAIN 2000 – 2018 Professor Elizabeth Yardley Birmingham City University, UK [email protected] Department of Sociology and Criminology Business, Law and Social Sciences The Curzon Building 4 Cardigan Street Birmingham B4 7BD 0121 331 6612 / 07810 866 485 AUTHORS NOTE The author would like to thank Fiona Mackenzie of We Can’t Consent to This for her assistance in identifying cases and the anonymous reviewers for their thoughtful and helpful feedback on the manuscript. KEYWORDS Femicide; rough sex. 2 ABSTRACT This research investigated cases of femicide in Great Britain where perpetrators had claimed that victims died in 'sex games gone wrong'. Forty-three femicides that resulted in a conviction for murder, manslaughter or culpable homicide were examined in relation to victim-perpetrator socio-demographic characteristics, victim-perpetrator relationship, homicide details and criminal justice outcomes. Key patterns within the data were identified. The research highlights that the 'sex game gone wrong' narrative has gained traction against a cultural backdrop of normalised BDSM within neoliberal political economy. 1 INTRODUCTION In December 2016, John Broadhurst killed his girlfriend Natalie Connolly. Natalie’s body was found in the hallway of the home they shared in Worcestershire, England. Natalie had a blood alcohol level of 389 mg per 100 ml - five times the drink drive limit (R v Broadhurst). She had sustained over forty separate injuries, the majority of which had been caused by Broadhurst striking her with his hand and a boot and inserting a bottle of spray carpet cleaner – a large container with a trigger attachment - into her vagina (R v Broadhurst). -

List of Paraphilias
List of paraphilias Paraphilias are sexual interests in objects, situations, or individuals that are atypical. The American Psychiatric Association, in its Paraphilia Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Fifth Edition (DSM), draws a Specialty Psychiatry distinction between paraphilias (which it describes as atypical sexual interests) and paraphilic disorders (which additionally require the experience of distress or impairment in functioning).[1][2] Some paraphilias have more than one term to describe them, and some terms overlap with others. Paraphilias without DSM codes listed come under DSM 302.9, "Paraphilia NOS (Not Otherwise Specified)". In his 2008 book on sexual pathologies, Anil Aggrawal compiled a list of 547 terms describing paraphilic sexual interests. He cautioned, however, that "not all these paraphilias have necessarily been seen in clinical setups. This may not be because they do not exist, but because they are so innocuous they are never brought to the notice of clinicians or dismissed by them. Like allergies, sexual arousal may occur from anything under the sun, including the sun."[3] Most of the following names for paraphilias, constructed in the nineteenth and especially twentieth centuries from Greek and Latin roots (see List of medical roots, suffixes and prefixes), are used in medical contexts only. Contents A · B · C · D · E · F · G · H · I · J · K · L · M · N · O · P · Q · R · S · T · U · V · W · X · Y · Z Paraphilias A Paraphilia Focus of erotic interest Abasiophilia People with impaired mobility[4] Acrotomophilia -

Could it be a photogravure’s negative or a mezzotint (?)… the hint of which gives itself up to rare oils. These examine themselves in the light of Charenton’s Oeuvre; where a ‘progressive’ asylum allows the inmates to enact their own plays. Immediately our shadow or silhouette becomes clearer, and Man Ray’s dissimulation waxes large. Do you remember his painting or sketch? It’s not a photograph (exactly) rather a memorial to the Marquis de Sade, the Charenton asylum’s most notorious inmate. The ‘divine’ Marquis appears bloated, heavy, morbidly obese, dense, and also scorbutic – the effect of an absent sun in Vincennes’ cells. His mother-in-law was disappointed in him, (you see). Nonetheless, Donatien Alphonse Francois gave off the whiff of a pantomime dame… albeit in a sinister mien. -
The Complete Manual of Breathplay
The complete Manual of Breathplay BY DUNTER EDITION S.LECLERC Click for a donation to make the hardcopy possible ISBN: 978-2-9816945-0-8 Publishing date 01-09-2017 rev 3 CHAPITRE 1 Disclaimer The goal of this manual is to provide information; not to encourage or discourage people from doing breathplay. I do not take any responsibility in any practice inspi- red by this manual. This is not a training guide, reference manual or compen- dium. Any of those below mentioned practices can lead to serious injuries, or death. I truly believe you will find this book informative regarding some of the most deadly BDSM practices, and this can help you, or your community, see the dangers in those activities. Word from the Author: Who I am, and why I wrote this book Firstly, I am not a doctor, not a black belt martial practitioner and not, in any- way, a professional at breathplay. Do not take any of this knowledge for the truth; also conduct your own research. I am someone who has lost many friends due to breathplay-related activities. I want to share my knowledge with the goal of saving lives. I did lots of research before giving breathplay classes to provide awareness on the dangers of this practice. I am also someone who has been doing BDSM for a long time; I saw many things as I was travelling, through conventions across Ca- nada and the United States; I learned from many people and through classes on many topics related to this domain. Has an ex military personnel and martial arts enthusiast, I leaned about things that are not that common, and therefore are great to share.
