(GH WoR Dec 29) GERMANY German ERF, the TWR ministry organization now licensed for ten years bc inside Germany. Signed contract with German Telecom using the MW tx previously used by DLF/DLR. Since 1961 ERF broadcast mainly via facilities of Radio Monte Carlo on MW 1467 kHz and SW. From April 1st, ERF will use MW Mainflingen 1539 kHz 24 hours daily. Daytime 120 kW target 150 kms around Frankfurt-Main, from Kassel to Karlsruhe and Saarebruck to Wuerzburg, at night with 700 kW europeanwide. If the new service is successful, contract with RMC MW 1467 kHz will come to an end in October 1997 (but SW via MCO will remain).

DW in Indonesian 1330-1420 UTC observed on new 15250 kHz, not scheduled. (x15415 Chita- RUS?). (WB Jan 1) GUATEMALA will be holding second-round presidential elections on January 7. This might be a good time to check for rarely-heard Guatemalan SWer Radio Mam on 4825 kHz. Radio Mam usually only transmits during local daytime, making it a difficult logging, especially Europe and Eastern North America. However, during the Nov 12 elections, Radio Mam was heard on the air well into the evening. (Moore in Cumbre Dx 66) IRAQ Radio Baghdad (or black clandestine "Voice of the Iraqui People"?) observed on 9568 kHz around 1200-1900 UTC. (WB Jan 1) ITALY 9590 kHz RAI Rome.

Arabic 0500-0600+ UTC LP, possibly reactivated channel. Can't keep up with freq changes of this station, with some occupancies apparently uncoordinated with other broadcasters. (Bob Padula ARDXC Dec 29) LITHUANIA BBC Monitoring has today (29th December) identified the station on 9044 kHz which was first reported by Wolfgang Bueschel in BC-DX. We observed it at 1500 UTC today identifying as Lithuanian Radio from Vilnius. The signal was observed in parallel on 9710 kHz as well as on another frequency, 10376 kHz. Both 10376 and 9044 are mixing products of transmitters on 9710 and 666 kHz at the Sitkunai transmitter site near Vilnius (formula 9710+666=10376; 9710-666=9044). The exact frequencies observed today were 9043.95, 9710.95 and 10376.95 kHz - but this may vary slightly as the 9710 kHz transmitter is subject to some drifting. (Dave Kenny, BBC Monitoring, UK) Surprise, surprise, reflects my poor knowledge of Slavic linguistics. Shame, I am not so familiar with Lithuanian language, I mixed it always up with Slovenian. Supposed location more southwards like Macedonia Skopje. Same mixing product problem occured at Deanovec tx site in Croatia concerning 4795/4770 kHz: formula 5920-1125=4795; 5895-1125=4770 kHz.

  • Parsi Theater, Urdu Drama, and the Communalization of Knowledge: a Bibliographic Essay
    Parsi Theater, Urdu Drama, and the Communalization of Knowledge: A Bibliographic Essay I its remarkable century-long history traversing the colonial and nation- alist eras, the Parsi theater was unique as a site of communal harmony. The Parsi theater began in Bombay in the early s and fanned out across South and Southeast Asia by the s. During the twentieth cen- tury, major Parsi theatrical companies flourished in Lahore, Delhi, and Calcutta, exerting a huge impact on the development of modern drama, regional music, and the cinema. Parsis, Hindus, Muslims, Anglo-Indians, and Baghdadi Jews consorted amicably in both residential and traveling companies. Although company ownership usually remained in Parsi hands, actors were drawn from many communities, as were professional writers, musicians, painters, stage hands, and other personnel. As Såmn≥t^ Gupta makes clear, it was Parsis, non-Parsis, Hindus, Muslims, and Christians who spread the art of theatre by founding theatrical companies, who built playhouses and encouraged drama, who became actors and popularized the art of acting, who composed innumerable dramas in Gujarati, Hindi, and Urdu, who composed songs and defended classical music, and who wrote descriptions of the Parsi stage and related matters.1 Audiences similarly were heterogeneous, comprised of diverse relig- ious, ethnic, and linguistic groups and representing a wide range of class 1Såmn≥t^ Gupta, P≥rsµ T^iy®ªar: Udb^av aur Vik≥s (Allahabad: Låkb^≥ratµ Prak≥shan, ), dedication (samarpan), p. • T A U S positions.

  • FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS on THREE CONTINENTS a Dissertation Submitted to the Facu
    FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS ON THREE CONTINENTS A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics By Sheena Shah, M.S. Washington, DC May 14, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Sheena Shah All Rights Reserved ii FACTORS AFFECTING PROFICIENCY AMONG GUJARATI HERITAGE LANGUAGE LEARNERS ON THREE CONTINENTS Sheena Shah, M.S. Thesis Advisors: Alison Mackey, Ph.D. Natalie Schilling, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the causes behind the differences in proficiency in the North Indian language Gujarati among heritage learners of Gujarati in three diaspora locations. In particular, I focus on whether there is a relationship between heritage language ability and ethnic and cultural identity. Previous studies have reported divergent findings. Some have found a positive relationship (e.g., Cho, 2000; Kang & Kim, 2011; Phinney, Romero, Nava, & Huang, 2001; Soto, 2002), whereas others found no correlation (e.g., C. L. Brown, 2009; Jo, 2001; Smolicz, 1992), or identified only a partial relationship (e.g., Mah, 2005). Only a few studies have addressed this question by studying one community in different transnational locations (see, for example, Canagarajah, 2008, 2012a, 2012b). The current study addresses this matter by examining data from members of the same ethnic group in similar educational settings in three multi-ethnic and multilingual cities. The results of this study are based on a survey consisting of questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and proficiency tests with 135 participants. Participants are Gujarati heritage language learners from the U.K., Singapore, and South Africa, who are either current students or recent graduates of a Gujarati School.
