A Fiji Bibliography (Including Rotuma and Rabi) A Fiji Bibliography (including Rotuma and Rabi) © 2016-2021 Roderick Ewins PhD Last updated 2 September 2021 This list of over 4,500 entries is built on the base of my research bibliography developed over 40 years. I make no claim that it contains everything ever written concerning Fiji—such a task must rest with tools like Google and Ecosia. This should be used in conjunction with the Contents Lists for the Fijian Society and Domodomo, as well as the Fiji Tourism Bibliography, all on this website. They contain references not in this bibliography. I am happy to receive suggestions about important works (particularly books) that have been omitted. Please contact me with details.

  • The Archaeology of Lapita Dispersal in Oceania
    The archaeology of Lapita dispersal in Oceania pers from the Fourth Lapita Conference, June 2000, Canberra, Australia / Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and Island Melanesia — lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present. Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics, as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for Southeast Asia and blue for the Pacific islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers, and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements. All volumes are numbered within the same series. List of volumes in Terra Australis Volume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: coastal sites in southern New South Wales. R.J.

  • Alignment Mouth Demonstrations in Sign Languages Donna Jo Napoli
    Mouth corners in sign languages Alignment mouth demonstrations in sign languages Donna Jo Napoli, Swarthmore College, [email protected] Corresponding Author Ronice Quadros, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, [email protected] Christian Rathmann, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, [email protected] 1 Mouth corners in sign languages Alignment mouth demonstrations in sign languages Abstract: Non-manual articulations in sign languages range from being semantically impoverished to semantically rich, and from being independent of manual articulations to coordinated with them. But, while this range has been well noted, certain non-manuals remain understudied. Of particular interest to us are non-manual articulations coordinated with manual articulations, which, when considered in conjunction with those manual articulations, are semantically rich. In which ways can such different articulators coordinate and what is the linguistic effect or purpose of such coordination? Of the non-manual articulators, the mouth is articulatorily the most versatile. We therefore examined mouth articulations in a single narrative told in the sign languages of America, Brazil, and Germany. We observed optional articulations of the corners of the lips that align with manual articulations spatially and temporally in classifier constructions. The lips, thus, enhance the message by giving redundant information, which should be particularly useful in narratives for children. Examination of a single children’s narrative told in these same three sign languages plus six other sign languages yielded examples of one type of these optional alignment articulations, confirming our expectations. Our findings are coherent with linguistic findings regarding phonological enhancement and overspecification. Keywords: sign languages, non-manual articulation, mouth articulation, hand-mouth coordination 2 Mouth corners in sign languages Alignment mouth demonstration articulations in sign languages 1.

Language in a Fijian Village An Ethnolinguistic Study Annette Schmidt A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University. September 1988 ABSTRACT This thesis investigates sociolinguistic variation in the Fijian village of Waitabu. The aim is to investigate how particular uses, functions and varieties of language relate to social patterns and modes of interaction. ·The investigation focuses on the various ways of speaking which characterise the Waitabu repertoire, and attempts to explicate basic sociolinguistic principles and norms for contextually­ appropriate behaviour.The general purpose is to explicate what the outsider needs to know to communicate appropriately in Waitabu community. Chapter one discusses relevant literature and the theoretical perspective of the thesis. I also detail the fieldwork setting, problems and restrictions, and thesis plan. Chapter two provides the necessary background information to this study, describing the geographical, demographical and sociohistorical setting. Description is given of the contemporary language situation, structure of Fijian (Bouma dialect), and Waitabu social structure and organisation. In Chapter 3, the kinship system which lies at the heart of Waitabu social organisation, and kin-based sociolinguistic roles are analysed. This chapter gives detailed description of the kin categories and the established modes of sociolinguistic behaviour which are associated with various kin-based social identities.

  • Sehr Geehrte Freunde Der Philatelie! Es War Eine Menge Arbeit, Aber Nun Ist Er Fertig: Der Katalog Zur 71
    Sehr geehrte Freunde der Philatelie! Es war eine Menge Arbeit, aber nun ist er fertig: Der Katalog zur 71. Auktion am 21.Au- gust 2004. Ich habe es nicht gezählt, aber es stecken in diesem Katalog sicherlich weit über tausend Arbeitsstunden. Und ich glaube, die viele Arbeit hat sich gelohnt. Der vorliegende Katalog beschreibt fast genau 10.000 Lose, von denen fast 3500 auch abgebildet wurden. Dabei gibt es mehrere Schwerpunkte: Vielleicht am interessantesten ist die Auflösung einer der schönsten Sammlungen Deut- sche Feldpost im II. Weltkrieg. Dabei sind u.a. Rhodos 8A gest. (Ausruf 1350), 8A (*) (Ausruf 2000); Kreta 7B auf Brief (Ausruf 7500), Hela 13b a. BS, Krim 15I a. BS (800), Kurland-Schnellbrief, mehrere Belege Ostpreussen-Feldpost, Funknach- richtenkarten von Milos, Dünkirchen, St. Nazaire, Kreta, La Rochelle, Festungs- post von Breslau, Frankfurt/Oder, Lorient, St. Nazaire, Royan, zahlreiche Belege aus Stalingrad. Ein Auktionsprogramm, das nicht nur zahlreiche Raritäten enthält, son- dern auch zeitgeschichtlich äußerst wertvoll ist! Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bilden die Deutschen Kolonien und Auslandspostämter. Wir konnten wieder ein umfangreiches Angebot an Stempeln und Briefen zusammenstel- len, im Markenteil sind neben praktisch sämtlichen Standardwerten u.a. sämtliche amtlich verausgabten China-Handstempel (von 3 bis 80 Pf.) dabei, Karolinen 1/6I kpl., Ma- rianen 2/6I und Marshall-Inseln 1/6IU **, 1Ia und 1Ib a. oder die enorm seltene 7b auf . Kenner wissen, daß diese Marke seltener als eine 1I ist — nur bis zur Michelre- daktion ist dieses Wissen leider bis heute nicht durchgekommen. Gut 110 Seepost- und Marineschiffspostbelege ergänzen dieses Sammelgebiet sehr schön. Altdeutschland bietet diesmal Schwerpunkte bei Bayern, Württemberg und Hannover.

  • Picking Over the Bones. Amalie Dietrich and Colonial Queensland
    DOI: 10.35515/zfa/asj.3334/201920.14 Australian Studies Journal Comments (online only) Zeitschrift für Australienstudien 33/34 — 2019/2020 Raymond Evans Picking Over the Bones Amalie Dietrich and Colonial Queensland [Comment on Stefanie Affeldt and Wulf D. Hund: From ‘Plant Hunter’ to ‘Tomb Raider’. The Changing Image of Amalie Dietrich] Amalie Dietrich was clearly an outstanding pioneer naturalist-collector of plants, corals, shells, insects, spiders, fish, reptiles, birds, mammals and so on, contin- ually lighting, as she wrote, ‘upon treasures that no-one has secured before me’ along the colonial Queensland coastal stretch from Brisbane to Bowen.1 This is beyond dispute. During her nine year sojourn from August 1863 until February 1872, she collected possibly 20-25 000 species of flora and fauna new to Western science and had plants, moss, algae, wasps and a butterfly named after her.2 It is also beyond dispute that she assembled a small array of photographs, material possessions and human remains (specifically skeletons and skulls) of Queensland Aboriginal people. Her ethnographic efforts were comparatively modest though significant and enduringly controversial. In Brisbane, from 1863 to 1865 and Rockhampton from 1866 to 1867, she obtained and dispatched ‘some of Queensland’s first extant [...] photographs’ of Aborigines to the Museum Godeffroy in Hamburg – fifteen studio portraits taken in Brisbane and four in Rockhampton.3 Later, mainly while in Bowen, North Queensland from 1869 to 1872, she sequestered more than 130 items of former Aboriginal ownership, mostly weapons, tools and implements, which were then consigned to Germany as artefacts.4 It was here in tropical Bowen, however, that she first alluded to obtaining the bones of deceased Aboriginal people in a letter to her daughter, Charitas, written on 20 September 1869.

    WIRELESS AND EMPIRE AMBITION Wireless telegraphy/telephony and radio broadcasting in the British Solomon Islands Protectorate, South-West Pacific (1914-1947): political, social and developmental perspectives Martin Lindsay Hadlow Master of Arts in Mass Communications, University of Leicester, 2003 Honorary Doctorate, Kazakh State National University (named after Al-Farabi), 1997 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Communication and Arts Abstract This thesis explores the establishment of wireless technology (telegraphy, telephony and broadcasting) in the British Solomon Islands Protectorate (BSIP), South-West Pacific and analyses its application as a political, social and cultural tool during the colonial years spanning the first half of the 20th century. While wireless seemed a ready-made technology for the Pacific, given its capability as a medium to transmit and receive signals instantly across vast expanses of ocean, the colonial civil servants of Britain’s Fiji-based regional headquarters, the Western Pacific High Commission (WPHC) in Suva, were slow to understand its strategic value. Conservative attitudes to governance, combined with a confidence born of Imperial rule, not to mention bureaucratic inertia and an almost complete lack of understanding of the new medium by a reluctant administration, aligned to cause obfuscation, delay and frustration. In the British Solomon Islands Protectorate, one of the most geographically remote ‘fragments of Empire’, pressures from the commercial sector (primarily planters and traders), the religious community (mission stations in remote locations), keen amateur experimenters (expatriate businessmen), wireless sales companies (Marconi and AWA Ltd.), not to mention the declaration of World War I itself, all intervened to bring about change to the stultified regulatory environment then pertaining and to ensure the introduction of wireless technology in its multitude of iterations.
