Is Word-Level Recursion Actually Recursion
There is a longstanding debate in the literature about if, and where, recursion occurs in prosodic structure. While there are clear cases of genuine recursion at the phrase level and above, there are very few convincing cases of word-level recursion. Most cases are-by definition-not recursive and instead best analyzed as different constituents (e.g., the Composite Group, Prosodic Word Group, etc.). We show that two convincing cases of prosodic wo…
Navigating the Phonology-Syntax Interface and Tri-P Mapping
While it is widely acknowledged that phonological processes may be restricted to certain domains, appearing in a particular location or spanning some - but not all - junctures within (morpho-)syntactic structure, debate centers on how to derive phonological domains. There are three main models in the current literature: Relational Mapping, Syntax-Driven Mapping, and Syntactic-Spell Out. Comparisons between specific approaches have been made, but …
Plant Kin
The Indigenous Canela inhabit a vibrant multispecies community of nearly 3,000 people and over 300 types of cultivated and wild plants living together in Maranhão State in the Brazilian Cerrado (savannah), a biome threatened with deforestation and climate change. In the face of these environmental threats, Canela women and men work to maintain riverbank and forest gardens and care for their growing crops, whom they consider to be, literally, chil…
Less Palatable, Still Valuable
People across the world eat many things that they readily admit are not particularly tasty. Taking into consideration that taste and palatability are culturally conditioned, this special issue explores the relationship between taste and value by focusing upon crops that are perceived to be socioculturally important even as they are characterized as bland, less delicious, and even “bad.” The articles in this issue pay particular attention to the i…
Valuing the Bad and the Ugly
The Indigenous Canela of northeast Brazil cultivate a diversity of crops that are variously categorized as good and beautiful (impej), bad and ugly (ihkên), tasty, bland, and even regular or common (cahàc). Through an analysis of Canela crop categorization and human-plant encounters, the article demonstrates that valuing agrobiodiversity, including less delicious or bad crops, is grounded in an understanding of crop intentionality or subjectivity…
Living Lists
This paper explores how members of the indigenous Canela community of northeast Brazil value and make meaningful their engagements with cultivated plants in their local Cerrado (“savannah”) environment through the recent creation of written ethnobotanical lists and through more traditional multi-sensory, embodied approaches. It compares the traditional approach of Canela gardeners coming to know and “becoming with” growing plants through caring, …
Integrating Ontology into Ethnobotanical Research
The title of this special section of the Journal of Ethnobiology, which grew out of a conference of the same name held at the University of Oxford in 2014, is intentionally provocative, immediately inspiring a number of questions: What might it mean to look at human-plant relations “ontologically”? What, indeed, is an “ontology,” and how does it relate to plants? Can the field of ethnobiology fruitfully engage with theoretical movements in the so…
