Download Download Óbuda University Doctoral School on Safety and Security Sciences Africa Research Institute Journal of Central and Eastern European African Studies Dear Reader, Dear Africa Enthusiast, It is always a great pleasure to write the welcoming remarks of a newly launched enterprise. This is the case right now when I am gathering my thoughts about the Journal of Central and Eastern European African Studies (JCEEAS). The Doctoral School on Safety and Security Sciences has just recently set up its newest component, the Africa Research Institute in 2019. The Institute’s very agile management is continuously working on new projects, building connections, and gathering the scholars dealing with African issues from all over the world. In this quest, an almost natural step was to launch a scientific journal. Having screened the region for similar initiatives, the Institute has concluded that African issues are not addressed quite enough, so they have decided to set up a quarterly that reflects on the importance of the Central and Eastern European region and the African continent. JCEEAS does not limit itself to scholars only from the region or to topics only concerning the CEE countries, only aims to give a little extra attention to this specific area. I believe that this approach is reflected by the list of contributors of this first, double issue, as well as the composition of the Editorial Board of the Journal. In my view, Africa is unquestionably one of our greatest opportunities and challenges. A continent with more than half a hundred independent states, a colourful, complex, and versatile set of people, history, culture, values, and interests. This is one of the reasons why the research topics that the Journal aims to cover are very broad, ranging from culture and anthropology, through politics, conflict studies and migration to the economy and development studies, just to mention a few. I myself truly hope that this endeavour will be a great success on multiple counts, for the Institute and the researchers behind the Journal, as well as for the contributors–scholars, practitioners and professionals with different backgrounds – and last but not least for the future readership who will also benefit from the findings of the papers. With all the above, I wish you all a great reading experience and plenty of fresh ideas and new approaches offered by the papers of our Journal!

The Cartography of Africa is a African central issue in the global order. The continent projects importance in cartography; several different themes, including the dynamics of the continental politic economy and its insertion with the regionalization. The cartographic anthropology; production centered on the African experience is largely unknown. cultural Commonly it is omitted due to the almost atavistic disqualifying geography; perspective surrounding the continent, its peoples, and cultures. historic Therefore, the Africa Map demands fair debate and recognition. In May cartography; 1961, when the continent was witnessing the emergence of a veritable geopolitics; history; Africanity; flood of independences, the UN Economic and Social Council initiated Milton Santos the United Nations Regional Cartographic Conference for Africa. Intending to standardize geoinformation in the continent, the Regional Map of Africa is one of the most relevant developments of this initiative. Approved in February-March 1976 at the 26th Ordinary Session of the Council of Ministers of the Organization of African Unity, the Regional Map of Africa is, by definition, a spatial representation of great importance to scholars in the continent. This paper incorporates a debate about a multifaceted set of perspectives and influences, evaluating Africa's regional cartography mainly in the fields of geography, history, and anthropology, adopting Africanity as an umbrella concept. 1 Anthropologist at University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil; researcher in Africa, Cartography, and International Relations fields.

Waldman “Any shock, anywhere in the world, is immediately transmitted to the other side of the globe” [...] “The universal set, therefore, presents the characteristics of an international system: all events, wherever they happen, provoke mutual reactions” (Raymond Aron) Introduction Par excellence, according to a broad segment of specialists, maps are a powerful reference to decode the inhabited space and simultaneously a premise to inducing transformations or reinforce a spatial framework anchored in specific social, cultural, historical, and geographical processes. Overall, the maps, as the main products of cartography, are graphic representations and interpretations of the real world, and in that way, they are practical tools to the apprehension of territorial architecture. Maps or geographical charts reveal the space's natural features and, especially, the socio-spatial arrangements. In this sense, they highlight and evidence spatial-temporal mutations, the functions of the social structures, and the range of contradictions intertwined within the geographic phenomena. As such, maps enable us to geographically understand the axial dynamics of societies, a notion increasingly indispensable as a bridge linking different levels of reality. Maps use a specific communicational codification, known as cartographic language, associated in a conceptual sphere to the spatial representations of the societies and the cultural imaginary. Given these particularities, maps unveil ideological, topological, and iconological spatial indicators inextricably related to the weltanschauung of the societies (Waldman, 2017a, 2017b, 1997 and 1994; Tuan, 1980; Anjos, 2009, p. 12; Oliviera, 1968). In an objective approach, maps provide clues and directives to action

  • 1 a Theoretical Synopsis of Evolutionary Phonology
    A Theoretical Synopsis of Evolutionary Phonology Juliette Blevins Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology 1. AN OVERVIEW OF EVOLUTIONARY PHONOLOGY 1.1 EXPLAINING SOUND PATTERNS. Phonology is the study of sound patterns of the world’s languages. In all spoken languages, we find sound patterns characterizing the composition of words and phrases. These patterns include overall properties of contrastive sound inventories (e.g. vowel inventories, consonant inventories, tone inventories), as well as patterns determining the distribution of sounds or contrastive features of sounds (stress, tone, length, voicing, place of articulation, etc.), and their variable realization in different contexts (alternations). A speaker's implicit knowledge of these patterns is often evident in their extension to novel items and in experiments probing phonological well-formedness. This implicit knowledge - its content, formalization, and representation, - is the central focus of modern theoretical phonology, including generative phonology and many of its derivatives (natural phonology, government phonology, dependency phonology, optimality theory). However, just as important as speaker's implicit knowledge of sound patterns are explanations for the distribution of sound patterns across attested spoken languages. Some sound patterns, are extremely common, while others are rare. Some examples of recurrent sound patterns involving segment/feature inventories, distribution, and alternations are listed in (1). The sound patterns in (1i,iii,iv,v,viii) are exceptionless across the world's attested spoken languages, while those in (1ii, vi, vii, ix-xii) are recurrent and frequent. Exceptionlesss patterns like (1i) are sometimes regarded as 'linguistic universals' (1i), while common patterns like (1ii) are often viewed as 'universal tendencies'.

  • Davis, S. Metaphonological Ability in Low-Literate Adult Somali English Language Learners (2009)
    Davis, S. Metaphonological Ability in Low-literate Adult Somali English Language Learners (2009) This is a study of metaphonological ability in low-literate adult Somali English Language Learners (ELLs). It asks the questions: To what extent are non-literate Somali adult English language learners able to identify and manipulate word-initial phonemes and syllables? To what extent do they identify rhyme, especially when juxtaposed with semantically-related content? Will they perform differently on a phonological fluency task than on a semantic fluency task? Studies with low-literate adult ELLs by Elaine Tarone and Martha Bigelow, as well as studies produced by the Low-Educated Second Language and Literacy Acquisition [LESLLA] forum were the biggest influences on this study. The study is a quantitative, one-shot design, involving six female low-literate adult Somali students from an adult ESL program in Minnesota. The only identifiable factor affecting their performance on the metaphonological ability testing was the amount of schooling they received in childhood. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my committee members for their time, their careful, thoughtful editing and suggestions, and their encouragement. They are brilliant and I am so very grateful for them. I would also like to thank the teachers and staff at the school where the research was performed. They were very open to me and to this research, and also very flexible and willing to give of their time. I would like to thank my interpreters for their time, their expertise, and their valuable insight. Finally, I would like to thank my participants for being willing to give of their time, performing language tasks that were very new and unusual to them, for the sake of improving language instruction for future language learners.

The goal is to describe what happens to Norwegian words when they are borrowed by Somali speakers. Both languages have simple tone systems, and this study explores what happens when these two systems meet: Do Norwegian loanwords show the same tone patterns as native Somali words, or is Norwegian tone preserved when words are borrowed by Somali speakers? Previous research on loanword prosody suggests that the former is likely when the recipi- ent language has strong restrictions on tone. In Somali, the distribution of tone is governed by and predictable from grammatical features, so the same principle may apply here. How- ever, previous research also suggests that such restrictions may be violated in loanwords in situations of intimate language contact. The speakers in the present study are bilinguals liv- ing in Norway, and use both Norwegian and Somali every day. Therefore, their borrowing provides a test case for these two competing possibilities. The material presented here was collected during fieldwork in Oslo, and consists of spon- taneous speech from nine native Somali speakers, in addition to some elicited forms.

The topic of urban segregation has been neglected in both classic Somali studies, and recent studies of post-war state-building and governance in Somaliland. Such negligence of urban governance in debates over state-making stems from a predominant focus on national and regional levels, which overlooks the institutions governing cities.
