  • English Regional Dialect Lexis in the Names and Occupations of the Gloucestershire Cotswolds: a Reassessment of the Relationship Between Names and Dialects
    English regional dialect lexis in the names and occupations of the Gloucestershire Cotswolds: a reassessment of the relationship between names and dialects Item Type Article Authors Parkin, Harry Citation Parkin, H. (2015), ‘English regional dialect lexis in the names and occupations of the Gloucestershire Cotswolds: a reassessment of the relationship between names and dialects’, Dialectologia et Geolinguistica 23, 1, pp. 24–37.

However, by carrying out localised research, it appears that the two might not be so closely linked as previously thought, with discrepancies in the distribution of regionally specific names and equivalent occupational descriptions. As a result, there seems to be a need to reconsider the connection between regional lexicons and corresponding name stocks, which may have been less closely related, at a period of non-hereditary by-naming, than current knowledge suggests. 1. Surnames and dialect It has been widely recognised that the regional distribution of certain by-names and surnames,1 from the medieval period up to the present day, can represent regional distinctions in Middle English (ME) dialect lexis and phonology.

Jones, Committee Chair Mary Beth Leigh, Committee Member Roger W. Ruess, Committee Member Diane Wagner, Chair Department of Biology and Wildlife Kinchal Doerner, Dean College of Natural Science and Mathematics Michael Castellini, Interim Dean of the Graduate School Abstract In stream biofilms, autotrophs and heterotrophs are responsible for the majority of in­ stream nutrient transformations. In boreal forest catchments, discontinuous permafrost can lead to variation in nutrient and energy resources, which can control competition for nutrients between autotrophs and heterotrophs within these biofilms. I was interested in determining what resources control nutrient utilization by autotrophs and heterotrophs in headwater streams in the boreal forest of interior Alaska. I hypothesized that the outcome of competition between autotrophs and heterotrophs for inorganic nutrients would be dependent on the availability of (i) organic carbon, (ii) light, or (iii) inorganic nutrients. To measure resource limitation and competition at both patch and reach scales, I deployed nutrient diffusing substrata and conducted nutrient uptake experiments in streams along a permafrost gradient at the Caribou-Poker Creeks Research Watershed in interior Alaska. At the patch scale, autotrophs were light and nutrient limited, whereas heterotrophs were carbon and nutrient limited, and at the reach scale, light had the largest influence on nutrient uptake.

    Brave new world: global development goals after 2015 1 David Hulme 1 University of Manchester, UK 2* [email protected] Rorden Wilkinson 2University of Manchester, UK [email protected] * Corresponding author May 2012 Brooks World Poverty Institute BWPI Working Paper 168 ISBN : 978-1-907247-67-5 Creating and sharing knowledge to help end poverty www.manchester.ac.uk/bwpi Abstract This paper evaluates the major options for reformulating the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Our purpose is to add weight and direction to emerging thinking on MDG-reformulation in a way that: (i) reaffirms the importance of global efforts to reduce extreme poverty; (ii) overcomes the problems endemic in the existing MDGs; (iii) accelerates the reduction of extreme poverty globally; (iv) builds the foundations of a more comprehensive global development programme; (v) tailors poverty reduction efforts to local conditions and strengthens national-level poverty eradication policies; and (iv) offers a realizable prospect for maintaining momentum in UN development efforts. Keywords: Millennium Development Goals, poverty reduction, global governance, foreign aid, inequality David Hulme is Executive Director of the Brooks World Poverty Institute (BWPI), and Head of the Institute of Development Policy and Management (IDPM), the University of Manchester, UK.

  • Multilateral Cooperation, the G20 and the EU: Soft Power for Greater Policy Coherence? Bernard Hoekman* and Rorden Wilkinson†
    Multilateral Cooperation, the G20 and the EU: Soft Power for Greater Policy Coherence? Bernard Hoekman* and Rorden Wilkinson† Revised: February 15, 2020 Abstract: Since 2008, G20 leaders have repeatedly committed themselves to conclude WTO negotiations expeditiously and refrain from resorting to protectionism. They have not, however, lived up to these commitments. Trade growth has been anemic for much of the intervening period, with deadlock in the WTO and reversion to aggressive unilateralism by the United States undermining global trade governance. Current trade tensions primarily involve the major trading powers. Resolving these tensions requires agreement between the main actors and greater focus on addressing the concerns of all WTO members regarding the operation of the organization. The major actors are all members of the G20. The G20 constitutes an important forum for the EU to provide leadership and to use its soft power to address geo-economic conflicts and bolster global trade governance. We review the prospects for resolving current trade tensions and revitalizing the multilateral system through a discussion of the measures that could constitute EU trade leadership in the G20. Keywords: EU, G20, trade governance, WTO, economic development JEL Codes: E61; F02; F42; F68 Acknowledgement.
