    The Impact of Global English in Xinjiang, China: Linguistic Capital and Identity Negotiation among the Ethnic Minority and Han Chinese Students Ge Jian A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2016 Reading Committee: Laada Bilaniuk, Chair Ann Anagnost, Chair Stevan Harrell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology © Copyright 2016 Ge Jian University of Washington Abstract The Impact of Global English in Xinjiang, China: Linguistic Capital and Identity Negotiation among the Ethnic Minority and Han Chinese Students Ge Jian Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Laada Bilaniuk Professor Ann Anagnost Department of Anthropology My dissertation is an ethnographic study of the language politics and practices of college- age English language learners in Xinjiang at the historical juncture of China’s capitalist development. In Xinjiang the international lingua franca English, the national official language Mandarin Chinese, and major Turkic languages such as Uyghur and Kazakh interact and compete for linguistic prestige in different social scenarios. The power relations between the Turkic languages, including the Uyghur language, and Mandarin Chinese is one in which minority languages are surrounded by a dominant state language supported through various institutions such as school and mass media. The much greater symbolic capital that the “legitimate language” Mandarin Chinese carries enables its native speakers to have easier access than the native Turkic speakers to jobs in the labor market. Therefore, many Uyghur parents face the dilemma of choosing between maintaining their cultural and linguistic identity and making their children more socioeconomically mobile. The entry of the global language English and the recent capitalist development in China has led to English education becoming market-oriented and commodified, which has further complicated the linguistic picture in Xinjiang.

  • De Sousa Sinitic MSEA
    THE FAR SOUTHERN SINITIC LANGUAGES AS PART OF MAINLAND SOUTHEAST ASIA (DRAFT: for MPI MSEA workshop. 21st November 2012 version.) Hilário de Sousa ERC project SINOTYPE — École des hautes études en sciences sociales [email protected]; [email protected] Within the Mainland Southeast Asian (MSEA) linguistic area (e.g. Matisoff 2003; Bisang 2006; Enfield 2005, 2011), some languages are said to be in the core of the language area, while others are said to be periphery. In the core are Mon-Khmer languages like Vietnamese and Khmer, and Kra-Dai languages like Lao and Thai. The core languages generally have: – Lexical tonal and/or phonational contrasts (except that most Khmer dialects lost their phonational contrasts; languages which are primarily tonal often have five or more tonemes); – Analytic morphological profile with many sesquisyllabic or monosyllabic words; – Strong left-headedness, including prepositions and SVO word order. The Sino-Tibetan languages, like Burmese and Mandarin, are said to be periphery to the MSEA linguistic area. The periphery languages have fewer traits that are typical to MSEA. For instance, Burmese is SOV and right-headed in general, but it has some left-headed traits like post-nominal adjectives (‘stative verbs’) and numerals. Mandarin is SVO and has prepositions, but it is otherwise strongly right-headed. These two languages also have fewer lexical tones. This paper aims at discussing some of the phonological and word order typological traits amongst the Sinitic languages, and comparing them with the MSEA typological canon. While none of the Sinitic languages could be considered to be in the core of the MSEA language area, the Far Southern Sinitic languages, namely Yuè, Pínghuà, the Sinitic dialects of Hǎinán and Léizhōu, and perhaps also Hakka in Guǎngdōng (largely corresponding to Chappell (2012, in press)’s ‘Southern Zone’) are less ‘fringe’ than the other Sinitic languages from the point of view of the MSEA linguistic area.

    AN ACOUSTIC, HISTORICAL, AND DEVELOPMENTAL ANALYSIS OF SARIKOL TAJIK DIPHTHONGS by PAMELA S. ARLUND Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON December 2006 Copyright © by Pamela S. Arlund 2006 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am thankful to all those people who have encouraged me along the way to make the time for this and to not give up. I would like to thank my Mom and Dad, Tom and Judy Arlund, first and foremost. They weren’t always sure what to do with their daughter who loved books more than playing, but they always encouraged my desire for knowledge. They may not know any Tajiks, but the Tajiks know Mom and Dad through me. Thank you to all the people in China. The students, faculty and foreign affairs staff at Xinjiang University have always been so gracious and affirming. The Tajik people themselves are so willing and eager to have their language studied. I hope this work lives up to their hopes and expectations. Thank you to Dr. Jerold Edmondson whose assistance helped me to take a whole new approach to the problem of diphthongs. There are so many people in so many far-flung places who have encouraged me. Thanks to all those at Metro in Kansas City, at Hillside in Perth, at New City in New Zealand and at Colleyville in Texas. Your love, encouragement, and support have kept me going on this project.

  • The Pamir Languages
    DEMO : Purchase from www.A-PDF.com to remove the watermark CHAPTER FOURTEEN A THE PAMIR LANGUAGES D. (Joy) I Edelman and Leila R. Dodykhudoeva 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview "Pamir languages" is the generalized conventional term fo r a group of languages that belong to the eastern branch of the Iranian language fa mily, and are spoken in the valleys of the western and southern Pamirs and adjacent regions: the Mountainous Badakhshan Autonomous Region (Tajik Viloya ti Ku histoni Badakhshon) of the Republic Tajikistan; the Badakhshan province in Afghanistan; parts of northern Pakistan (Chitral, Gilgit, Hunza); and parts of the Xinjiang-Uygur Autonomous Region of China. The Pamir languages constitute fo ur distinct genetic sub-groups that derive from several distinct proto-dialects of East Iranian origin (see also Chapters 14b and 15 on Shughn(an)i and Wakhi): I. "North Pamir" group (a) Old Wanji (extinct), relatively close to (b) Yazghulami, and (c) the Shughni­ Rushani group to the south of it (see Chapter 14b). 2. Ishkashimi group (a) Ishkashimi proper, (b) Sanglichi, (c) Zebaki (extinct). 3. Wa khi. 4. Also, owing to a series of features (a) Munji, (b) Yidgha. Extinct Sarghulami in Afghan Badakhshan is usually included. However, the very existence of this particular vernacular is doubtful. The material, described by Prof. I. I. Zarubin in the 1920s, could never be verified. It is based on the information from a speaker of one of the neighboring villages of Sarghulam, who called it la vz-i mazor 'the speech of mazar', presumably referring to the Afghan village of Sarghulam, which had such a shrine.

  • The Tree of Life Design – Part 1
    S. Busatta– The Tree of Life Design – Part 1 Cultural Anthropology 205 – 220 The Tree of Life Design From Central Asia to Navajoland and Back (With a Mexican Detour) Part 1 Sandra Busatta Antrocom-Onlus sez. Veneto The Tree of Life design is thought to be originated in Central Asia possibly from shamanic cultures, and can be seen as a favorite pattern in many carpets and rugs produced in a huge area, from Afghanistan to Eastern Europe. From the Middle East, together with other Christian and Moorish designs, it was imported to Central America where it mixed with the local versions of Tree of Life. Traders who brought Oriental carpet patterns to be reproduced by Navajo weavers made it known to them, but it was only after the 1970s that the design has had a real success together with other pictorial rugs. Introduction In the late 1970s for the first time I saw a number of samples showing the so-called Tree of Life design embellishing the walls of a restaurant in the Navajo reservation. In one or two trading posts and art galleries in the Southwest I also saw some Tree of Life rugs made by Navajo weavers, and also some Zapotec imitations, sold almost clandestinely by a roadside vendor at a ridiculously low price. The shops selling Mexican artesanias, both in the US Southwest and in Mexico, however, displayed only a type of Tree of Life: a ceramic chandelier- like, very colorful item that had very little to do with the Tree of Life design in the Navajo rugs and their Zapotec imitations.

  • The Far Southern Sinitic Languages As Part of Mainland Southeast Asia
    Hilário de Sousa The far southern Sinitic languages as part of Mainland Southeast Asia 1 Introduction Within the Mainland Southeast Asian (MSEA) linguistic area (e.g. Matisoff 2003; Bisang 2006; Enfield 2005, 2011, Comrie 2007), some languages are said to be in the core of the language area, while others are said to be in the periphery. In the core are the Mon-Khmer and Kra-Dai languages. The core languages generally have: Analytic morphological profile with many sesquisyllabic or monosyllabic words Strong syntactic left-headedness, including prepositions and SVO word order Phonemic tonal contrasts and/or phonational contrasts The Chamic languages (Austronesian) and the Hmong-Mien languages are also in the region, and are typologically relatively similar to the Mon- Khmer and Kra-Dai languages. On the other hand, there are the Sino-Tibetan languages in the northern and western periphery; their linguistic properties are somewhat less MSEA-like. For instance, in contrast to the strong syntactic left-headedness that is typical of MSEA languages, Burmese is OV and right- headed in general.1 On the other hand, Mandarin has the left-headed traits of VO word order and preposition. However, Mandarin is otherwise strongly right-headed (e.g. right-headed noun phrases, adjunct-verb order). These two languages also have fewer lexical tones than most tonal languages in MSEA. The aim of this paper is to discuss some of the phonological and word order typological traits amongst the Sinitic languages, and to compare them with the typological profiles of some MSEA languages. While none of the Sinitic languages could be considered to be in the core of the MSEA language 1 Nonetheless, Burmese still has some left-headed traits like post-nominal adjectives (‘sta- tive verbs’) and numerals.

    The world tree of languages: How to infer it from data, and what it is good for Gerhard Jäger Tübingen University Workshop Evolutionary Theory in the Humanities, Torun April 14, 2018 Gerhard Jäger (Tübingen) Words to trees Torun 1 / 42 Introduction Introduction Gerhard Jäger (Tübingen) Words to trees Torun 2 / 42 Introduction Language change and evolution “If we possessed a perfect pedigree of mankind, a genealogical arrangement of the races of man would afford the best classification of the various languages now spoken throughout the world; and if all extinct languages, and all intermediate and slowly changing dialects, had to be included, such an arrangement would, I think, be the only possible one. Yet it might be that some very ancient language had altered little, and had given rise to few new languages, whilst others (owing to the spreading and subsequent isolation and states of civilisation of the several races, descended from a common race) had altered much, and had given rise to many new languages and dialects. The various degrees of difference in the languages from the same stock, would have to be expressed by groups subordinate to groups; but the proper or even only possible arrangement would still be genealogical; and this would be strictly natural, as it would connect together all languages, extinct and modern, by the closest affinities, and would give the filiation and origin of each tongue.” (Darwin, The Origin of Species) Gerhard Jäger (Tübingen) Words to trees Torun 3 / 42 Introduction Language phylogeny Comparative method 1
