Analysing A/O Possession in Māori-Language Tweets
This article contributes the first corpus-based study of possession in Māori, the indigenous language of Aotearoa New Zealand. Like most Polynesian languages, Māori has a dual possessive system involving a choice between the so-called A and O categories. While Māori grammars describe these categories in terms of the inherent semantic relationship between the possessum and possessor, there have been no large-scale corpus analyses demonstrating the…
When loanwords are not lone words: Using networks and hypergraphs to explore Māori loanwords in New Zealand English
Networks are being used to model an increasingly diverse range of real-world phenomena. This paper introduces an exploratory approach to studying loanwords in relation to one another, using networks of co-occurrence. While traditional studies treat individual loanwords as discrete items, we show that insights can be gained by focusing on the various loanwords that co-occur within each text in a corpus, especially when leveraging the notion of a h…
Ātea Presence— Enabling Virtual Storytelling, Presence, and Tele-Co-Presence in an Indigenous Setting
Developing, evaluating, and disseminating IT research prototypes for and with indigenous partners is both challenging and rewarding. In conjunction with our domain expert collaborators, Te Rau Aroha Marae [Bluff, Aotearoa/New Zealand (NZ)] and our academic colleagues at the Universities of Waikato and Canterbury, we are implementing a mixed reality telepresence system to connect a diasporic Māori community to their historical, cultural, and geogr…
Research and development absorptive capacity: A Māori perspective
This paper presents a view of research and development absorptive capacity from a Māori perspective. The assessment is part of a case study of a longitudinal programme – Science for Technological Innovation: Kia kotahi mai – Te Ao Putaiao me te Ao Hanagarau that aims to increase Aotearoa New Zealand’s capacity to use sci‐tech for economic benefit. The paper finds that while Aotearoa New Zealand’s macro policy and meso institutional levels have be…
How usable is a smartphone with a Māori-language interface
Major languages dominate contemporary technologies. For Mäori, there is opportunity to engage with some technologies using their language and to participate within Mäori- language communities in various digital media. A smartphone launched by Two Degrees Mobile Limited provides a Mäori- language interface option. An initial pilot study indicated users will engage with this interface, but when pushed for time will switch the interface to the Engli…
Using Twitter in an Indigenous Language: An analysis of te reo Māori tweets
Language revitalization theory suggests that one way to improve the health of a language is to increase the number of domains where the language is used. Social network platforms provide a variety of domains where indigenous-language communities are able to communicate in their own languages. Although the capability exists, is social networking being used by indigenous-language communities? This paper reports on one particular social networking p…
Nudge! Normalizing the use of Minority Language Ict Interfaces
This paper examines the take up and use of interfaces of computer applications in minority languages. Its main thesis is that according to much anecdotal and a small amount of quantative data, take up of these interfaces could be a lot higher. It analyses the reasons for non-take up of such interfaces and the possible reason for "L" (lower diglossic status) language speakers not wanting to avail themselves of opportunities to use technology in mi…
