Recent archaeological investigations at Widgingarri Shelter 1, northwest Australia
Global definitions of political determinants of health
OBJECTIVES: Political Determinants of Health (PDoH) are increasingly recognised as crucial influences on health inequities, yet their definitions and conceptual frameworks remain inconsistent and underdeveloped. This systematic review aims to clarify the scope and thematic composition of PDoH and explore their relationship with other determinants of health. METHODS: A systematic search of peer-reviewed English-language literature was conducted ac…

Site Formation History of Widgingarri Shelter 1, Northwestern Australia and Investigation of Postdepositional Disturbance With Single‐Grain OSL Dating and Soil Micromorphology
Widgingarri Shelter 1 (WS1) is a rock shelter site within a small escarpment and preserves evidence of late Pleistocene and Holocene human activity. The site was first excavated in 1985 and again in 2022. Here, we present the stratigraphy and chronology following the latter excavation. Site context and stratigraphy were investigated through field observations of the landscape, site and soil micromorphology. A chronological framework was establish…
The double modal construction in English world wide
The dual foci of the present study of double modals are their semantic characteristics and their distribution across regional varieties of English world wide. Tokens were extracted from GloWbE:Blogs, a database whose great size and informal tenor facilitated the investigation of this low-frequency non-standard feature. Double modals were found to be more common in the New Englishes of the 'Outer Circle' than in the 'Inner Circle' varieties, a fin…

A Cross-Sectional Study Exploring the Physical Activity Levels of Afghans and Other South Asian Youth in the UK
Introduction: Participating in regular physical activity (PA) has numerous benefits, such as reducing obesity, chronic degenerative conditions, and depression. Despite many health-related benefits, physical inactivity is increasing in young people worldwide, especially in ethnic minority groups, such as British South Asians (BSAs). The aim of this study was to explore the PA levels of BSAs, specifically focusing on youth from Afghan, Pakistani, B…
The Ethnographic Self as Resource
It is commonly acknowledged that anthropologists use personal experiences to inform their writing. However, it is often assumed that only fieldwork experiences are relevant and that the personal appears only in the form of self-reflexivity. This book takes a step beyond anthropology at home and auto-ethnography and shows how anthropologists can include their memories and experiences as ethnographic data in their writing. It discusses issues such …
Prologue
The primary objective of this book is to provoke a sustained consideration on the part of anthropologists of the ways in which the self can be a resource in doing ethnography, both in the field and in the study.The project began, as so many do, in the conversations between the two editors, who felt that, despite a plethora of writing on the periphery of this key issue, there was no text that addressed directly the question 'To what extent can the…

Tracking Children’s Physical Activity Patterns across the School Year
Despite the breadth of health benefits associated with regular physical activity (PA), many children in the UK are not sufficiently active enough to meet health guidelines, and tend to become less active as they mature into and throughout adolescence. Research has indicated that children's school, home and neighbourhood environments can all significantly influence their opportunities to engage in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). How…

The Power of Personal Narratives in Crime Prevention and Reentry
With thousands of ex-offenders entering communities every week, reentry is at the forefront of agendas for legislators and correctional administrators. The IF Project, founded in 2008 in Washington State, seeks to foster crime prevention and successful reentry through the use of offender narratives. This paper reports results from an evaluation of the IF Project comprised of process and outcome elements including: 1) Development of an IF Project …

Autorégulation régulée. Analyses historiques de structures de régulations hybrides
En 1881, la Fédération allemande des associations de contrôle des chaudières à vapeur publia des directives pour le contrôle des chaudières à vapeur. Dans un premier temps, ces directives ne pouvaient prétendre valoir que pour les entreprises membres de cette fédération. Quelques années plus tard, l’administration prussienne décida de les prendre comme référence dans ses règlements sur la sécurité industrielle – elles devaient s’appliquer dès lor…

Regulierte Selbstregulierung. Historische Analysen hybrider Regelungsstrukturen
Im Jahre 1881 gab der deutsche Verband der Dampfkesselüberwachungsvereine Vorschriften für die Prüfung von Dampfkesseln heraus. Geltung beanspruchen konnten sie an sich zunächst nur für die Unternehmen, die Mitglieder dieses Vereins waren. Einige Jahre später beschloss die preußische Verwaltung, in ihren gewerbepolizeilichen Bestimmungen auf diese Vorschriften zu verweisen, sie sollten also für alle Unternehmen gelten. Mit der Weiterentwicklung d…
Gender Voices in Hong Kong English Textbooks—Some Past and Current Practices
Negotiating Selves
In this paper I reflect on a series of informal or 'unstructured' interviews with people experiencing chronic job insecurity. I show that far from being merely a source of data these interviews are dynamic social interactions wherein multiple dialogues are conducted between multiple selves. I argue that because interviews are epistemologically ambiguous, morally ambivalent and emotionally charged they cannot be seen simply as repositories of 'obj…

Australian English‐language textbooks
This paper examines the nature and extent of gender stereotyping, both linguistic and pictorial, in a set of 10 Australian English‐language textbooks for intermediate learners. In order to determine how accurately the books reflect the status of women in contemporary Australian society a content and linguistic analysis was conducted, focusing on, amongst other things, the ratio of male to female characters, the portrayal of women and men in socia…
Modals and quasi-modals in world Englishes
This paper reports findings from a study of the frequency and distribution of a set of modals and quasi-modals in nine matching corpora representing British, American, Australian, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indian and Kenyan English. The analysis presented is form-based, with meanings dealt with only in an exemplary, qualitative manner. The findings are discussed in the light of two complementary trends noted by corpus lingui…
The 'Plain' and the 'Positive
This paper argues that sharp distinctions between formal ritual action and everyday practice cannot always be sustained. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork among British Quakers and Swedish charismatic Protestants, we seek to show that both groups manifest an experiential aesthetic that constructs and is constructed by engagement in daily life. The Quaker aesthetic we call 'the plain', and the charismatic aesthetic we term 'the positive'. In prese…

Colloquial features in Word Englishes
A powerful discourse-pragmatic agent of grammatical change in English since the mid-twentieth century has been the increasing acceptance of colloquialism. Little is known, however, about its influence on grammatical developments in regional varieties of World English other than the two inner circle ‘supervarieties’, British and American English. This paper reports findings from a corpus-based study of three grammatical categories known to be unde…

Storying Self and Others
Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork undertaken among British Quakers this article attempts to elucidate some of the connections between the narrative quality of everyday interaction and the local construction of self. Focusing on the Quaker Meeting, we find that the social identity of individual participants is precipitated in the interplay between three modes of discourse: the prototypical or individual, the vernacular and the canonic. For individ…
Thirteen Ways of Looking at a ‘Ritual’
Ritual' has long been a key concept in anthropology and many 'rituals' have been identified, described, and interpreted. In most cases, those interpretations have been generated and presented by anthropologists. Occasionally, however, the interpretations of participants themselves are presented and can be equally multifarious. These sets of ways of looking at 'ritual' may or may not overlap. In this paper, I present thirteen ways of looking at on…
Exclamative clauses in English
This study aims to complement the theoretical and descriptive literature on exclamative clauses in English by providing a comprehensive description of their structural and semantic properties. The exclamative clause type, it is argued, must be restricted to constructions with an initial exclamative phrase containing what (as modifier) or how (as modifier or adjunct), insofar as it is only in these that the illocutionary force of exclamatory state…

Grammatical Change in the Verb Phrase in Australian English
Studies of grammatical change in the Late Modern English period have concentrated almost exclusively on British and American English. This paper is the first to trace grammatical changes in Australian English across the approximately two centuries from the foundation of the first British colony in Australia in 1788 to the present day, using data derived from two recently compiled corpora, ‘COOEE’ (nineteenth century) and ‘AusCorp’ (twentieth cent…
Construction of gender
This article examines whether the later development of awareness of gender issues in Hong Kong compared to Australia is reflected in patterns of gender representation in the English language textbooks published in these two places. A comparison of 10 currently-used Australian books with 10 Hong Kong books revealed that such awareness has impacted most on the use of gender-inclusive terms and symmetrical phrases in both places. The Australian writ…
The present perfect in world Englishes
This paper reports on a comprehensive corpus‐based study of regional and stylistic variation in the distribution of the English present perfect. The data represents ten English varieties of both the Inner Circle and Outer Circle, covering four major text types: conversation, news reportage, academic and fictional writing. The results are discussed in light of the finding that the present perfect has been losing ground to the preterit since Late M…
Can/could and may/might in British, American and Australian English
This paper provides a comprehensive description of the semantics of can, may, could and might in three parallel corpora of contemporary British, American and Australian English. Even though the modals investigated can express the same meanings, paradoxically there is little semantic overlap between them in the data. For example, the meanings of can and may appear to merge in a sentence such as It can/may be cold in Stockholm, but a distinction is…
It-clefts and wh-clefts
Discipline
Quakerism emerged from the religious, social and political turmoil of the Interregnum when sects multiplied and many diverse individuals were joined in their criticism of the state church. What began as a loose network of Seekers, united largely in their opposition to Anglicanism, was organised and given a distinctive shape by several energetic visionaries and most notably George Fox, a Leicestershire artisan. From 1650, this pioneering group pre…

Ideology and Utopia in South Africa
In a seminal paper published in 1963, Kurt Danziger produced evidence that English, Afrikaans, Indian and African students in South Africa had quite distinct future orientations. English speakers tended to be predominantly “catastrophic”, Afrikaners tended to be “technicist”, Indians tended to be “liberal”, and Africans tended to be “revolutionary”. In the present paper we inquire into the stability of these positions and find that some things ha…
