It calls for an exploration of the way in which these have often been uncritically accepted solely on the basis of notes and comments made by the original collectors. The difficulty is that the authority with which collectors were able to speak varied enormously, and even when the collectors obtained objects personally from the original owners, it cannot be assumed that they understood clearly the names, purposes or provenance of the objects they obtained.

  • Loanword Strata in Rotuman
    Loanword Strata in Rotuman by Hans Schmidt In Language Contacts in Prehistory: Studies in Stratigraphy: Papers from the Workshop on Linguistic Stratigraphy and Prehistory at the Fifteenth International Conference on Historical Linguistics, Melbourne, 17 August 2001, pp. 201-240 (2003). Amsterdam: John Benjamins Publishing Co. (c) 2003 John Benjamins Publishing Company. Not to be reproduced without written permission from the publisher. LOANWORD STRATA IN ROTUMAN Hans Schmidt University of the South Pacific, Vanuatu 1. Introduction Rotuma is a small island in the South Pacific.1 It lies roughly at the crossroads of Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia. Politically, the island forms part of the Republic of Fiji; though the closest Fijian island, Cikobia, is about 465 km distant (Woodhall 1987:1). The island is accessible from Suva, the capital of Fiji, by a two-day boat trip or in two hours by plane. In contrast to its Northern neighbor Tuvalu, Rotuma is not a coral atoll but a so called ‘high’ island of volcanic origin (Pleistocene), its surface area is 46 km2 and its soil is very fertile. Rotuma has a population of approximately 2,700 inhabitants who live in twenty villages scattered along the coast. This constitutes the highest population density (59 per km2) for all Fijian islands (Walsh 1982:20), although three quarters of the Rotumans have left their home island for the urban areas of Fiji or overseas. Many of these Fiji-Rotumans have never been on Rotuma or at most for a brief Christmas holiday. In contrast to its small number of speakers, Rotuman has featured frequently in works of general and comparative linguistics.2 What makes Rotuman so interesting in the eyes of linguists? Its productive metathesis.

  • SKI Report 2003:18 Research Making a Historical Survey of a State's Nuclear Ambitions
    SKI Report 2003:18 Research Making a Historical Survey of a State's Nuclear Ambitions IAEA task ID: SWE C 01333 Impact of Historical Developments of a State’s National Nuclear Non-Proliferation Policy on Additional Protocol Implementation Dr. Thomas Jonter March 2003 ISSN 1104–1374 ISRN SKI-R-03/18-SE SKI’s perspective Background In the year 1998 Sweden, together with the rest of the states in the European Union and Euratom signed the Additional Protocol to the Safeguard Agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA. The Additional Protocol gives the Agency the right of more information on the nuclear fuel cycle activities in the State. The Protocol also gives extended access to areas and buildings and rights to take environmental samples within a state. The process of ratification is going on and the Protocol will be implemented simultaneously in all EU-member states. In ratifying the agreement in May 2000, Sweden changed its Act on Nuclear Activities and passed a new act regarding access. The present estimate is that the protocol could be implemented in EU during the second half of 2003. Aim When the Additional Protocol is implemented, Sweden (and the other EU-states) is to be “mapped” by the IAEA, scrutinising all nuclear activities, present as well as future plans. In the light of this, SKI has chosen to go one step further, letting Dr Thomas Jonter of the Stockholm University investigate Sweden’s past activities in the area of nuclear weapons research in a political perspective. Since Sweden had plans in the nuclear weapons area it is important to show to the IAEA that all such activities have stopped.
