  • O-TYPE VOWELS in CORNISH Dr Ken George
    GEORGE 2013 2ovowels O-TYPE VOWELS IN CORNISH by Dr Ken George Cornish Language Board 1 A B S T R A C T Evidence from traditional Cornish texts and from place-names is used to trace the development of the two o-type vowels, /o/ and / ɔ/. Recent denials by Williams of the existence of two long o-type vowels are refuted. Further evidence shows a difference between /o/ and / ɔ/ when short, and by inference, when of mid-length. The significance of this for the spelling of the revived language is briefly discussed. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 /ɔ/ and /o/ In George (1984), I showed that there were two o-type vowels in Middle Cornish (MidC), which will be denoted /o/ and / ɔ/. /o/, from Old Cornish (OldC) /ui/ and /ɔ/ from OldC / ɔ/ were separate phonemes. Support for their separateness, when followed by [s], [z], [ θ] and [ ð] appears in three different historical orthographies, in rhymes and in place-names. (The evidence in other phonetic environments, particularly when followed by nasal and liquid consonants, is weaker, and is reviewed below). My discovery has gained wide acceptance, but has been persistently attacked by Nicholas Williams. In Williams (2006), he devoted a whole chapter (31 pages) to the case of the long stressed vowels, concluding: “Middle Cornish never contained two separate long vowels /o ː/ and / ɔː/. 2. The distinction … between troes ‘foot’ and tros ‘noise’ is unjustified.” In this paper, the evidence for the two o-type vowels is reviewed in detail, and the reasons for Williams’ erroneous conclusion are examined.

  • Women's Suffrage in the Isle Of
    Education Pack Women’s Suffrage in the Isle of Man Contact Details: [email protected] 01624 685520 1 Introduction from the President of Tynwald It is still not widely known that the Isle of Man was the first place in the world where women could vote in a national election. In 2018 the United Kingdom is celebrating the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, when women householders, leaseholders, and graduates over the age of 30 were given the right to vote in elections to the House of Commons. By 1918, women householders in the Isle of Man had been able to vote in elections to the House of Keys for 37 years, and women leaseholders had been able to for 26 years. A year later, in 1919, all women resident in the Isle of Man would be given both the vote and the right to stand for election, regardless of their property status. Unlike in the United Kingdom, there was no mass campaigning of the sort organised by the suffragettes. Instead, it appears to have been largely the work and initiative of individuals such as Richard Sherwood MHK, who worked to secure votes for women in the 19th century, and William Crennell MHK, whose efforts achieved universal adult suffrage in the early 20th century. These men were, however, undoubtedly supported in their mission by women and other allies, The Hon Steve Rodan BSc (Hons) whose names and deeds have sadly not been recorded. MRPharmS MLC, President of Giving women householders the vote in 1881 was the first in a long Tynwald line of extensions to the franchise, all of which can be summarised by the principle of ‘no taxation without representation’.
