  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

    In Bogdan Burtea, Josef Tropper and Helen Younansardaroud (eds.), Studia semitica et semitohamitica - Festschrift für Rainer M. Voigt anläßlich seines 60. Geburtstages am 17. Januar 2004. Pp. 55-91. Ugarit-Verlag, Münster 2004. COMPARATIVE NOTES ON THE CUSHITIC IMPERATIVE Giorgio Banti (Naples)* Introduction. All Cushitic languages1 have a special set of verbal forms that are used when issuing commands to one or more addressees. This set is commonly referred to as Imperative (Impt.). A considerably different set of forms is used for negative commands in several of these languages. As an example, the two sets used in Bilin, Sidamo, and Somali are shown in (1). (1) Affirmative (Aff.) and negative (Neg.) Impt. forms in one Agaw and two East Cushitic languages Bilin Sidamo Somali gäb- “refuse” hun- “destroy” fur- “open” Aff. 2s. gäb-í hun-i fúr Aff. 2p. gäb-á hunn-e fúr-a Neg. 2s. gäb-g hun-toot-i ha fúr-in Neg. 2p. gäb-g-á hun-tinoont-e ha fur-ín-a It is apparent that the Aff. Impt. forms in these three languages display a certain degree of similarity to each other, while their Neg. counterparts are considerably different. Indeed, Bilin has a Neg. suffix -()g-, Somali a Neg. prefix ha and a Neg. suffix -in-, and Sidamo the complex Neg. suffixes 2g. -toot- vs. 2p. -tinoont-. Nevertheless, disregarding the Neg. suffixes and the Somali Neg. prefix ha, the Neg. * A preliminary version of this paper was presented at the X Italian meeting of Hamito-Semitic (Afroasiatic) linguistics in April 2001 in Florence. The author is grateful to those who commented upon it, and to the friends and colleagues who answered with patience to his questions on several occasions, in particular Joachim Crass, Gideon Goldenberg, and Moreno Vergari.

  • The 1911 Revolution and the Korean Independence Movement: the Road to Democratic Republicanism
    The 1911 Revolution and the Korean Independence Movement: The Road to Democratic Republicanism KIM Bong-jin 1. Foreword The Xing Zhonghui 興中会 （Revive China Society） started by Sun Yat-sen（ 1866-1925） and Wang Zhaoming 汪兆銘（ Wang Jingwei, 1883-1944） merged with the Hua Xinghui 華興会 established by Song Jiaoren 宋教仁 （1882-1913） and Huang Xing 黄興（ 1874-1916） on August 20, 1905 in Tokyo to become the Zhongguo Tongmenghui 同盟会 （Chinese Revolutionary Alliance）. Sun Yat-sen was selected to head the organization, and Huang Xing to run general affairs. Various documents were adopted, including the “mili- tary government proclamation,” “general articles of the Tongmenghui,” and “revolutionary strategy.” The Tongmenghui issued as their organizational publication the Minbao 民報, which adopted the general principles advocated by Sun of “expel the Manchus and restore China, establish a republic, and equalize land rights.” Subsequently, they fomented uprisings all over China, but all ended in failure. The Wuchang New Army successfully revolted against the Qing govern- ment on October 10, 1911. Other provinces followed suit by declaring inde- pendence from the central government. On January 1, 1912 the Provisional Government of the Republic of China was established in Nanjing, with Sun Yat-sen as provisional president. On February 12, however, Yuan Shikai （1859-1916） compelled the child emperor Puyi（ 1906-1967） to abdicate. The next day Sun Yat-sen turned in his resignation as president and recommended to the provisional National Assembly that Yuan take the position. On February 15 the provisional National Assembly agreed on Yuan’s appointment and to designate Nanjing as the capital.

  • The Causative in Rendille
    THE CAUSATIVE IN RENDILLE Günther Schlee Afrikanistische Arbeitspapiere – Schriftenreihe des Kölner Instituts für Afrikanistik, No. 15 1988: 5–65 This is an electronic version of a paper I published in 1988. It is identical with the original text apart from technical changes. These comprise 1. The spelling of the Rendille examples has been adjusted to the conventions adopted later (e.g. Pillinger, Steve and Francis Letiwa Galboran, 1999, Rendille-English Dictionary, Köln: Rüdiger Köppe; Schlee, Günther and Karaba Sahado, 2002, Rendille Proverbs in their Social and Legal Context, Köln: Rüdiger Köppe). The consonant signs in the left column have been replaced by those in the right (in Rendille words only! In other languages other conventions have developed). c → ch d' → d d → 'd ħ → h h → 'h x → kh In some instances the ethnonym ‘Galla’, which I had taken over from my sources even though it was outdated even then, has been replaced by ‘Oromo’ which has evolved into the only accepted designation of that group. In 1988 I had been content with explaining in brackets that the group referred to by my sources as Galla are the Oromo. 2. Minor inconsistencies in diacritics on vowels have been left. I used to underline open vowels, but as the original text was type written (before the computer age!), underlining was also used as the type writer convention for italics. The distinction then became non- visible. It may not be phonemic anyhow. In the cases where underlining was visible in the original, I kept it. After h, a u becomes centralized (ü).

  • Cilician Armenian Mediation in Crusader-Mongol Politics, C.1250-1350
    HAYTON OF KORYKOS AND LA FLOR DES ESTOIRES: CILICIAN ARMENIAN MEDIATION IN CRUSADER-MONGOL POLITICS, C.1250-1350 by Roubina Shnorhokian A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (January, 2015) Copyright ©Roubina Shnorhokian, 2015 Abstract Hayton’s La Flor des estoires de la terre d’Orient (1307) is typically viewed by scholars as a propagandistic piece of literature, which focuses on promoting the Ilkhanid Mongols as suitable allies for a western crusade. Written at the court of Pope Clement V in Poitiers in 1307, Hayton, a Cilician Armenian prince and diplomat, was well-versed in the diplomatic exchanges between the papacy and the Ilkhanate. This dissertation will explore his complex interests in Avignon, where he served as a political and cultural intermediary, using historical narrative, geography and military expertise to persuade and inform his Latin audience of the advantages of allying with the Mongols and sending aid to Cilician Armenia. This study will pay close attention to the ways in which his worldview as a Cilician Armenian informed his perceptions. By looking at a variety of sources from Armenian, Latin, Eastern Christian, and Arab traditions, this study will show that his knowledge was drawn extensively from his inter-cultural exchanges within the Mongol Empire and Cilician Armenia’s position as a medieval crossroads. The study of his career reflects the range of contacts of the Eurasian world. ii Acknowledgements This project would not have been possible without the financial support of SSHRC, the Marjorie McLean Oliver Graduate Scholarship, OGS, and Queen’s University.

  • THE ROOTED STATE: PLANTS and POWER in the MAKING of MODERN CHINA's XIKANG PROVINCE by MARK E. FRANK DISSERTATION Submitted In
    THE ROOTED STATE: PLANTS AND POWER IN THE MAKING OF MODERN CHINA’S XIKANG PROVINCE BY MARK E. FRANK DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in East Asian Languages and Cultures in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Dan Shao, Chair Associate Professor Robert Morrissey Assistant Professor Roderick Wilson Associate Professor Laura Hostetler, University of Illinois Chicago Abstract This dissertation takes the relationship between agricultural plants and power as its primary lens on the history of Chinese state-building in the Kham region of eastern Tibet during the early twentieth century. Farming was central to the way nationalist discourse constructed the imagined community of the Chinese nation, and it was simultaneously a material practice by which settlers reconfigured the biotic community of soils, plants, animals, and human beings along the frontier. This dissertation shows that Kham’s turbulent absorption into the Chinese nation-state was shaped by a perpetual feedback loop between the Han political imagination and the grounded experiences of soldiers and settlers with the ecology of eastern Tibet. Neither expressions of state power nor of indigenous resistance to the state operated neatly within the human landscape. Instead, the rongku—or “flourishing and withering”—of the state was the product of an ecosystem. This study chronicles Chinese state-building in Kham from Zhao Erfeng’s conquest of the region that began in 1905 until the arrival of the People’s Liberation Army in 1950. Qing officials hatched a plan to convert Kham into a new “Xikang Province” in the last years of the empire, and officials in the Republic of China finally realized that goal in 1939.
