  • Predicate-sluicing in Tokelauan

    Open AccessJ MiddletonARTICLENatural Language and Linguistic…2025References: 38

    This paper sheds light on sluicing structures in Tokelauan, a predicate-initial Polynesian language. Crosslinguistically, sluicing has been analyzed as having various different underlying structures, with many Austronesian languages deriving sluicing from pseudoclefts, which have wh-predicates. For Malagasy, it has been proposed that this is predicate-sluicing, which implies any wh-predicate should be able to appear as a sluicing remnant. Tokelau…

  • Reassessing pseudosluicing in Austronesian

    Open AccessJ MiddletonARTICLESyntax2024Cited by: 1References: 28

    Pseudosluicing diagnostics have played an important role in wider debates about sluicing. Sluicing is the term used to describe the deletion of an embedded clausal constituent, which leaves only a wh-phrase overt. Genuine sluicing requires syntactic or semantic identity between the sluiced clause and its antecedent, contrasting with pseudosluicing, in which pro-drop creates the appearance of a sluice but no identity is required. The underlying st…

  • Revisiting the clause periphery in Polynesian languages

    Open AccessJ MiddletonARTICLEGlossa a journal of general…2021

    Verb-initial languages often contain a pre-verbal particle, which, in Polynesian languages, is a tense/aspect/modal (TAM) marker. For Tongan and Samoan, it is standardly assumed that TAM markers are generated in T ̊, which are then moved to C ̊ in current frameworks (T-to-C movement), meaning TAM and complementisers are in complementary distribution (Custis 2004; Otsuka 2005; Collins 2017). This squib presents novel data from Tokelauan, another v…

  • OP24 Are Fast Food Outlets Concentrated in more Deprived Areas? A Geo-Statistical Analysis of an Urban Area in Central England

    GM Rudge, G M Rudge et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2013

    Background The concept of an ‘obesogenic environment’ a term first used in 1997 has become embedded in Public Health and health geography research. Research suggests that deprived populations in Britain not only have worse access to sources of affordable, healthy foodstuffs, but they also appear to be more exposed to take-away outlets offering cheap, energy-dense food. However measuring the relationship between socio-economic factors and food geo…

  • Aspects of tourism in Kenya

    J MiddletonARTICLEAnthropology Southern Africa2004Cited by: 3References: 1

    Tourism in Kenya dates back to the colonial era. Tourists have invented a map of Kenya that comprises mainly the Rift Valley and the Indian Ocean coast; and they divide the population into ‘noble’ pastoralists and less noble agriculturalists and urban dwellers. Tourists came originally to see and kill wild animals; most were members of ‘big game safaris’ organised by ‘White Hunters’, reportedly often the sexual targets of women tourists. Shooting…
