Hello my name is ...
This document discusses discourse and identity from linguistic and social perspectives. It defines discourse as the organization of language beyond the sentence level, including utterances, texts, and abstract ways of talking about topics. Spoken and written discourse are co-constructed differently. Identity is examined as how individuals understand their relationship to the world and see possibilities for the future, with recognition that identity is non-fixed and constructed through social interaction and membership. Recent social theory and constructionism view social categories and identities as choices in self-representation using language and other means, rather than rigid definitions.

1. The document discusses the DP hypothesis, which proposes that determiners are more important than just specifier elements and that DP is a functional projection above NP.
2. It follows X-bar theory and gives NP functional architecture.
3. Evidence for functional projections above NP comes from Tok Pisin pronouns, which have functional projections between NP and DP with a morpheme head, and the pronoun moves up through these projections.

He said, she said part 2
1) The document discusses debates around gender differences in language use and dominance. It describes views that see men's language as assertive and dominant in public spheres while women's language is seen as passive and focused on private matters.
2) Alternative views see gender differences in language as socially constructed rather than innate. Differences may reflect how men and women are socialized rather than fixed biological traits.
3) More recent research calls for understanding gender as a dynamic social performance rather than a fixed category, and examining how language is used to both construct and deconstruct notions of masculinity and femininity in interaction.
He said she_saidwell[1]23
This document discusses research on gender differences in language. It examines how some languages grammatically mark gender in pronouns and how some have gender-exclusive vocabularies. It also discusses gender-preferential language and how gender has been studied from a variationist linguistic perspective. A key topic is Robin Lakoff's 1975 characterization of "women's language" as tentative, uncertain, and weak. This characterization is critiqued as proposing a deficit view of women's language based on a perceived male norm. Explanations for observed gender differences in language use are examined.
Reading passages 2
The document contains 5 passages about various everyday situations and events occurring in New Zealand:
1) Preparations for a party including decorations and food and drink and expecting guests to arrive by ferry in the evening.
2) Details about the location of Auckland airport being away from the city to reduce noise complaints and its underground parking facility.
3) An incident where a boy spilled a chocolate milkshake at a mall and was given a free replacement drink after cleaning it up.
4) Recapping a successful party but noting the boy got in trouble and had to leave early, and cleaning up broken glass outside before mowing the lawn.
5) Suggesting cures for Monday-itis
Consonants 2
This document discusses phonetic symbols and their use in describing speech sounds. It covers the main places and manners of articulation used to produce consonants and vowels. Key points include:
- Phonetic symbols use a three-part label describing voicing, place, and manner of articulation.
- Places of articulation include bilabial, dental, alveolar, palatal, velar produced with different articulators like the lips, teeth and tongue.
- Manners include stops, nasals, fricatives, affricates, approximants, and trills which are distinguished by how the vocal tract is narrowed or blocked.
- Major classes are obstruents like
Vowel Label
This document discusses vowels and how they are produced in speech. It explains that vowels involve an unobstructed airflow from the lungs, and that languages vary in the number of vowels they have in their systems. It also describes how vowels are classified based on three factors: height or tongue position in the mouth, frontness or backness of tongue position, and lip rounding. Finally, it maps out the vowel space of English and labels the standard vowels according to these classification factors.
Melphon1
The document discusses the phonology and morphosyntax of Melanesian languages compared to Polynesian languages. It notes that Polynesian languages have relatively uniform and conservative sound systems, while Melanesian languages exhibit much more variation and complexity, with some languages having very large consonant and vowel inventories and complex sound combinations. It provides examples of phonological features and the vowel and consonant inventories of some specific Melanesian languages like Tawala, Nengone, and Paici.
Stori blong man we hemi sutum mun - a Bislama tale
Kalori saw the big round moon one night and decided to shoot it down with his bow and arrows. He shot several arrows that stuck into each other, forming a chain that reached all the way to the moon. When he climbed the chain, he met an old man on the moon. The next day, they went to the moon's garden and gathered yams. The old man helped Kalori return to earth by throwing the basket of yams down a chain of arrows. Kalori shared the yams with his village, and soon yams were growing in every garden.
Working on the phonology of your field language
This document discusses phonemes and allophones in language phonology. It explains that phonemes are units of sound that distinguish meaning, while allophones are variant sounds that are used in place of phonemes in certain environments. The document uses examples from Japanese to show that the sounds [s] and [ʃ] are allophones of the same phoneme /s/, with [ʃ] occurring before [i] and [s] in other environments, so they are not distinct phonemes in Japanese as they are in English.
Phonetics for field methods
This document discusses consonants and introduces the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It defines consonants as sounds created by an obstruction of airflow in the mouth, in contrast to vowels which have a relatively unobstructed path. Consonants are distinguished by their voicing, manner, and place of articulation. Voicing refers to whether the vocal cords vibrate (voiced) or not (voiceless). Manner describes how the obstruction of airflow is made, such as stops which block airflow momentarily, or fricatives which create turbulence. Place indicates where in the vocal tract the obstruction occurs, such as bilabial or velar. The document provides examples of consonants in the English language and
Mise en scene analysis slideshare
This document discusses mise-en-scene analysis and its application to hip hop music videos. Mise-en-scene refers to everything within the frame of a shot or sequence of shots that can convey meaning to the viewer. It includes five domains: setting/props, costumes/appearance, facial expressions/body language, lighting/color, and positioning within the frame. The document then analyzes the 2005 music video for "The Come Up" by AZ, noting how elements of mise-en-scene like the derelict outdoor setting, naturalistic clothing, serious facial expressions, black and white coloring, and positioning contribute to constructing themes of authenticity, hip hop masculinity, and life in the streets.
Visual texts as mediated communication
War memorials serve as collective memories that shape national identities and convey messages about war. They contain visual and textual elements that tell the stories of those who sacrificed their lives in conflict. The summaries provide examples of memorials in Leningrad honoring citizens who died defending the city during World War II, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC featuring names of soldiers killed in the Vietnam War etched in stone, and Atatürk memorials in New Zealand and Australia commemorating the Gallipoli campaign and promoting peace between former enemies.

It also shares a job advertisement seeking a copywriter with linguistic qualifications and lists course offerings for the School of Linguistics and International Languages for semesters 1 and 2 of the 2012 academic year.
International languages
The document outlines requirements for an international languages minor at a university. It includes information on Chinese, French, Japanese and Spanish minors. Each minor requires 60 credits including at least 15 credits at the 300 level. The core papers for each language are listed. Learning a language is said to help with 21st century citizenship and understanding transcultural flows. Online tools allow for distance learning with self-pacing and real-time interactions.
Features of maaori english
The document discusses features of Māori English, a variety of New Zealand English spoken by Māori that incorporates elements of te reo Māori. Some key features include the use of discourse particles like "eh" and "y'know", high rising intonation, phonological features like TH-stopping and U-fronting, less reduction of unstressed vowels leading to a more staccato rhythm, and tag questions. The document also discusses how Māori English has a more melodic pitch pattern and rhythm influenced by the stress rules of te reo Māori, making it sound more "musical" compared to standard New Zealand English.
N z vowels
New Zealand English has developed as a unique variety of English with its own vocabulary, accent, and history. It originated from a mixing of dialects including Cockney English and other British regional accents. NZE is distinguished by its pronunciation of vowels, with shifts in vowel space and the development of new diphthongs not found in other varieties like Received Pronunciation. One such new diphthong is the pronunciation of 'me' as a two-part vowel, differing from other forms of English.
Greetings from aulua
This document discusses greetings and politeness in Aulua culture. It outlines different types of greetings including time-referenced greetings, small talk, and honorific greetings. It also discusses farewell greetings and notes they are an important part of stereotyping neighbors. Additionally, it examines who requires politeness based on social structure including higher chiefs, cross-generational in-laws, parallel and cross in-laws, and joking relationships between kin.
Te reo maaori 1
- Te reo Māori is the Māori language of New Zealand. It originated from the Polynesian languages brought by the Māori people's ancestors who migrated to New Zealand around 700 years ago.
- After European contact, use of te reo Māori declined dramatically as English became dominant in education, religion, and government. By the late 19th century most Māori were monolingual English speakers.
- In the 20th century te reo Māori nearly became extinct as the language of the home and community as urbanization separated Māori from their traditional lands and cultures. However, the 1970s saw a Māori renaissance and revitalization movement
A e i o u
The document discusses vowels in Polynesian languages. It explains that vowels are made by shaping the mouth using the jaw, lips, and tongue. It presents diagrams showing the positions of vowels in the mouth. Key terms are introduced to describe vowels, such as high vs low, front vs back, and round vs spread. The five vowels of Polynesian languages /i, u, e, o, a/ are then labeled according to these terms.
Next year
This document lists linguistics papers offered at the School of Language Studies in 2011, including paper codes, titles, prerequisites, locations, and whether they can be taken as a BA or BC. There are 11 papers listed ranging from 100 to 300 level, covering topics like language and communication, language and society, forensic linguistics, phonology, and languages of the Pacific. Most papers are offered at the MAN campus and via distance learning, and have prerequisites of other linguistics papers.
Meet little v
Little v presents a proposal to reconcile case assignment mechanisms in syntax by reducing them to a single mechanism of m-command. It suggests that nominative and accusative cases are both assigned via m-command by redrawing the structure of transitive and intransitive verb phrases. Specifically, it proposes adding a vP layer above the verb phrase, where the vP has a specifier position that houses the agent/cause argument and the v head marks the verb as transitive.
splitting infl
This document discusses English auxiliaries and verbal morphology in Swahili. It notes that English auxiliaries occur in a fixed order and only the leftmost auxiliary can move for questions. Swahili attaches subject, tense/aspect, and object prefixes in a fixed order on verbs. The document proposes that each morpheme in Swahili and each auxiliary in English is housed in its own functional projection above the verb phrase, supporting the existence of multiple functional projections. It questions which projection would be the subject position.
Syntaxlong
The document discusses the syntactic structure of sentences and noun phrases (NPs). It defines key terms like clause, subject, and verb phrase (VP). It analyzes the relationship between verbs and objects vs subjects and verbs. Based on tests of replacement and modification, it determines that verbs have a closer relationship with objects than subjects. Therefore, the VP contains the verb and its object NP. The document also examines the internal structure of NPs, introducing rules to account for determiners, adjectives, possessives, prepositional phrases, and pronouns.
Phonology 3
The document discusses phonological analysis of Korean and Japanese. For Korean, it analyzes the relationship between /ɾ/ and /l/, finding that they are in complementary distribution and are therefore allophones of the same phoneme. It also analyzes the relationship between /s/, /ʃ/ and /z/ in Korean, listing the environments where each appears. For Japanese, it asks about the relationship between [s] and [ʃ], which appear in different phonetic environments.
Phonology 3
This document discusses phonology and phonemes. It explains how to identify phonemes versus allophones by looking at their distribution in words. Phonemes are in parallel distribution and can appear in the same positions, while allophones are in complementary distribution and cannot appear in the same positions. The document provides examples analyzing the sounds /ɾ/ and /l/ in Korean and determining their status as phonemes or allophones based on their distribution. It also discusses types of phonetic environments that can influence sound realization and the concept of natural classes of sounds.
Trills And Spills
This document discusses different types of consonant sounds in language. It describes trills, liquids like l and r, approximants like j and w, and retroflex consonants. It also explains that sounds are often grouped based on similar manner or place of articulation, with larger groupings including obstruents (stops, fricatives, affricates) and sonorants (nasals, liquids). Non-pulmonic sounds like clicks are also briefly mentioned.
Melanesian Possession
This document discusses possession in Melanesian languages. It notes that possession can be either inalienable or alienable. Inalienable possession involves body parts and kinship terms that cannot be given away, and is marked by attaching a possessor suffix directly to the possessed noun. Alienable possession involves three elements - the possessed noun, a possessive classifier, and a possessor suffix attached to the classifier. The classifier provides semantic information about the possessed item, such as whether it is food, shelter, or a valuable item. Overall, Melanesian languages use a combination of morphological marking and semantic classification to encode possession.
