My interest in the language stems from my childhood, as I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to participate in classes that exposed me to the language. The purpose of this project is to not only enhance my own knowledge but to also create framework for what will hopefully be used for a language nest program for the Katzie Early Years Centre. The idea is to provide a safe environment for the children to interact and engage in the language through meaningful activities.

Approval Name: Louise Framst Degree: Master of Arts Title: Tahltan Verb Classifiers and How to Use Them Examining Committee: Chair: Nancy Hedberg Professor Marianne Ignace Senior Supervisor Professor John Alderete Supervisor Professor Date Defended/Approved: April 16, 2019 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract One frustration as a learner of my heritage language, Tāłtān, is the lack of resources. I created four booklets on what we learned as Tahltan Verb Classifiers; the linguistic term is classificatory verbs. Each booklet contains a different aspect of this feature; includes lessons in how to use it. A literature review revealed it had never been thoroughly researched. Therefore, information came from: language classes, instructors, recordings, and fluent speakers. My interviews: five individuals and one group session of seven. Most fluent speakers were unavailable; that is the problem when your ‘dictionaries’ have legs. The ‘big’ lesson I learned is that it is imperative we focus on collecting vocabulary before the words fade away from non-use. iv Keywords: classificatory verbs, Tahltan verb classifiers, Tāłtān, Tahltan language, immersion, First Nations learning, stress-response v Dedication Dedicated to the Elders and Fluent Speakers, Our Tāłtān language mentors.

  • Development of Local Theology of the Chin (Zomi) of the Assemblies of God (Ag) in Myanmar: a Case Study in Contextualization
    DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL THEOLOGY OF THE CHIN (ZOMI) OF THE ASSEMBLIES OF GOD (AG) IN MYANMAR: A CASE STUDY IN CONTEXTUALIZATION BY DENISE ROSS A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion THE UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM January 2019 This thesis is dedicated firstly to my loving parents Albert and Hilda Ross from whom I got the work ethic required to complete this research. Secondly, I dedicate it to the Chin people who were generous in telling me their stories, so I offer this completed research as a reflection for even greater understanding and growth. Acknowledgements This thesis took many years to produce, and I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone who encouraged and supported me throughout the often painful process. I would like to thank Edmond Tang for his tremendous supervision for several years. He challenged me, above all else, to think. I can never acknowledge or thank him sufficiently for the time and sacrifice he has invested. I would like to thank my supervisor Allan Anderson, who has been so patient and supportive throughout the whole process. I would like to acknowledge him as a pillar of Pentecostal research within the University of Birmingham, UK which has made it an international centre of excellence. It was his own research on contextual theology, especially in mission contexts, which inspired this research. I acknowledge the Chin interviewees and former classmates who willingly shared their time and expertise and their spiritual lives with me. They were so grateful that I chose their people group, so I offer this research back to them, in gratitude.

  • Chapter V Socio-Cultural Organization and Change
    107 Chapter V Socio-Cultural Organization and Change 5.1 Introduction From very early times the Poumai Naga have been practicing a direct democratic form of government in the village, combining it with their own culture and tradition, to retain their identity as the people of Poumai. The Poumai Naga tribe is in a transitional stage: though they practice agriculture as the main occupation, they have not left hunting and gathering fruits which still continues side by side There was no written history of Poumai Nagas but it is conspicuous that there were changes in their economic and socio-cultural life. In retrospect, to understand the changes within the Poumai Naga community, from pre-British period to the present day, the history of socio-cultural changes have conveniently been divided into different periods. 5.2 Pre-British arrival to tlie Naga Hills (- 1832) Before the arrival of the British to the Naga Hills, the Poumai Nagas were not exposed to the outside world. Headhunting at this time was at its zenith, with lots of pride but hatred, fear and jealousy filled their hearts. Fishing, hunting and shifting cultivation were the main occupations in the pre- British period. The Poumai Naga had no caste system in terms of high or low, pure and untouchables, rich or poor. It functioned, as an independent democratic society within a community set-up where helping ones clansmen in every respect was the hallmark of their lives. 5.2.1 Family The Poumai Naga community believes in a patriarchal family system. In many of the Naga villages, large families ranging from to 8-10 members in a family are common.

Title Was There Hebrew Language in Ancient America? An Interview with Brian Stubbs Author(s) Brian Stubbs and John L. Sorenson Reference Journal of Book of Mormon Studies 9/2 (2000): 54–63, 83. ISSN 1065-9366 (print), 2168-3158 (online) Abstract In an interview with John L. Sorenson, linguist Brian Stubbs discusses the evidence he has used to establish that at least one language family in Mesoamerica is related to Semitic languages. Stubbs explains how his studies of Near Eastern languages, coupled with his studies of Uto-Aztecan, helped him find related word pairs in the two language families. The evidence for a link between Uto-Aztecan and Semitic languages, or even Egyptian or Arabic, is still tentative, although the evidence includes all the standard requirements of comparative or historical linguistic research: sound correspondences or con- sistent sound shifts, morphological correspondences, and a substantial lexicon consisting of as many as 1,000 words that exemplify those correspondences.
