The perception of anticipatory nasality in English, French, and German
The goal of the current paper is to study the perception of long-distance anticipatory nasality in three languages – American English, Northern Metropolitan French, and Standard German. The study thereby links explicitly to our previous production study which was able to show that nasality can, in all three languages, spread beyond the prenasal vowel in CVN words. Nonetheless, there were significant differences between languages in terms of the t…
Extra terra nullius: Off-worlding the externalities of AI, Bitcoin mining and cloud computing with Orbital Data Centres
Despite ambitious carbon neutrality targets from Big Tech companies like Google, the rapid global proliferation of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) data centres means the industry's energy use could triple by 2030. Current projections suggest that business-as-usual development could result in data centres accounting for between 14 and 20% of the US's total power demand. To escape the need to mitigate the climate and water footprints of spr…
British Garrison Churches in Germany 1945 to 2019
Following the end of World War Two in May 1945, the British army remained in Germany. Initially there to provide support to the Control Commission Administration, it stayed after the formation, in 1949, of the Federal German Republic. Its new role was to help provide defence against any threat from the Soviet Union. That task ceased to be relevant in 1990, but it was not until 2019 that the last garrison withdrew. During this whole period, church…
Richard Tawney and the First World War
This article is based on a paper that was delivered in September 2022 as part of a symposium organised by the Henry Scott Holland Trust to mark the centenary of the Henry Scott Holland lecture. That lecture had been given by R.H. Tawney. This paper explores his engagement with the First World War as a volunteer soldier and a member of the Church of England

British Anglicans and German Evangelicals: The search for reconciliation in the years after World War Two
In this essay I discuss the encounter of the Church of England and the German Evangelical Churches in the aftermath of World War Two. Central to the relationship is the work of George Bell, Bishop of Chichester. He rebuilt links that had existed before hostilities started in an attempt to create a new theology for German political life. Bell was instrumental in the creation of a Religious Affairs Branch within the British element of the Control C…

Slippery Violence in the Redd+ Forests of Central Kalimantan, Indonesia
Due to increasing global demand for palm oil, coal, and timber, Indonesia has become the largest contributor of greenhouse gases from primary forest loss in the world. Carbon market mechanisms, like Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+), are being promoted by many elements of Indonesia's government as an effective policy response. The REDD+ programme is designed to enable the provision of financial compensations to …
New Zealand Methodist Chaplains and Ministers at War: The First World War through their Eyes
Intimate Exclusions from the Redd+ forests of Sungai Lamandau, Indonesia
Due to land-use conversions for palm oil, mining and other extractive industries, Indonesia remains the largest contributor of greenhouse gases from primary forest loss in the world. Nowhere are solutions to large-scale forest loss more urgently required. To reverse the trend, the Government of Indonesia is banking on carbon market mechanisms like the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) programme. REDD+ is designed to en…
Upper Sorbian
Sorbian is a West Slavic language spoken in eastern Germany, in Saxony and Brandenburg near the borders of Poland and the Czech Republic, and is recognized as an endangered language by UNESCO (Moseley 2012). It is commonly referred to as Sorbian in English, but has historically been referred to as both Wendish and Lusatian. The Sorbian speech area used to expand from its northernmost point approximately 50 km south-east of Berlin to its southernm…
Analysing access to the local Redd + benefits of S ungai L amandau, C entral K alimantan, I ndonesia
The R educing E missions from D eforestation and F orest D egradation ( REDD +) project in S ungai L amandau was I ndonesia's first forest carbon finance initiative officially proposed by a community group upon land they intended to control autonomously. However, the flagging carbon market and government licensing obstructions stalled progress towards possible monetary gains. With a focus on the agency of local farmers, we explore the ‘bundles of…
Examination of the grooving patterns of the Czech trill-fricative
Practical critique: Bridging the gap between critical and practice‐oriented Redd + research communities
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation ( REDD +) is an ambitious global programme oriented towards improving forest carbon management. It aims to attract new sources of ‘green’ capital to fund emissions reductions from avoided deforestation and sustainable forest management. REDD + is transforming forest conservation, as a diverse array of new stakeholders become involved. Not surprisingly, REDD + has proved divisive, as cri…
Czech trills revisited: An ultrasound EGG and acoustic study
The Czech language has two trills produced with the anterior tongue, represented in the Czech orthography as /r/ and /ř/. The phonetic characterization of the latter trill, currently transcribed in the IPA as [], has been especially controversial. The present study uses ultrasound, electroglottography (EGG) and acoustic evidence to examine these trills, with the particular aim of achieving a more phonetically grounded representation of /ř/. In th…
Command and Control’ in the Royal Army Chaplains' Department: How Changes in the Method of Selecting the Chaplain General of the British Army have Altered the Relationship of the Churches and the Army
With the reorganisation of chaplaincy in the British army which followed the experience gained in the First World War, the post of Chaplain General assumed a special importance as administrative head of all chaplains other than Roman Catholic. It quickly became the norm for the holder to be an Anglican. This article looks at how this came to be the case, and then considers how this policy came to be changed in the 1980s when a chaplain from the C…
