Orthographies and Orthography Development
An orthography is the set of symbols and the conventions governing their use that members of a language community employ when they write in their language. Although each symbol in some orthographies (e.g., Chinese) represents a meaning as opposed to a sound, most orthographies being developed today are alphabetic, with each symbol representing one or more of the contrastive sounds in the language. Some language communities are best served by orth…
Terrorism, Perceived Threat, and Support for Surveillance
Governments worldwide are increasingly adopting intrusive surveillance measures to counter terrorism. However, the psychological and public health consequences of exposure to terrorism remain underexplored. This study examines how exposure to cyber and conventional terrorism affects perceived national threat and support for surveillance policies, using a controlled virtual reality experiment in which participants were immersed in realistic simula…
Experimenting with Threat
Governments worldwide are racing to implement a new wave of intrusive digital surveillance policies, driven by the ominous threat of cyberterrorism. The U.K. leads the charge with some of the most expansive surveillance laws in the democratic world. But does exposure to cyberterrorism actually foster public support for these measures, or does it fuel resistance? Cyberterrorism—devastating digital assaults that seek to terrorize the public to atta…
Terrorized by Immigration? Threat Perceptions and Policy Preferences
Does exposure to terrorism affect attitudes toward immigration policy? If so, is it the sense of threat that impacts these attitudes? Previous studies could not find conclusive evidence of increasing hostility toward out-groups as a direct consequence of terrorist events, as they struggle to separate attitudinal migration policy preferences and reactions to terrorism. Drawing on intergroup threat theory, we conducted two original public opinion p…
Cyber scares and prophylactic policies
While conventional terrorism has long been associated with enhanced support for surveillance, scholars have not determined whether variation in the type and outcome of terror attacks, including those emanating from cyberspace, influences public support for these policies. Further, existing studies typically examine public opinion in a single country, thereby failing to investigate cross-national trends in support for surveillance. In this article…
Virtual Reality-Based Joy Induction
This study evaluates the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) as a novel tool for mood induction, specifically for inducing joy, and examines the role of interactivity and prior mood. We conducted an experiment using a 2 × 2 factorial design with 124 participants who were randomly assigned to either a neutral or negative prior mood condition, and an interactive or noninteractive joy induction condition. Prior mood was experimentally manipulated …
Floating tone noun class prefixes in Mada (Nigeria)
Mada [mda], a Plateau language spoken in central Nigeria, has many seemingly inexplicable tone alternations that occur between the singular and plural forms of nouns. These alternations find straightforward and reasonable explanations if one assumes the existence of underlying representations that include floating tone prefixes and certain nouns with toneless stems. Another fascinating aspect of Mada addressed in this paper is that despite there …

Anger, Anxiety, and Selective Exposure to Terrorist Violence
We examine the political consequence of exposure to widely available video content of terror violence. In a two-wave survey of Americans, we assess who is exposed to, and seeks out, terror-related video content in the first wave and then observe who decides to watch raw video footage of the Boston marathon terror attack in the second. We focus centrally on anxiety and anger as differing emotional reactions to the threat of terrorism and document …

Threatened or Threatening? How Ideology Shapes Asylum Seekers’ Immigration Policy Attitudes in Israel and Australia
Can different political ideologies explain policy preferences regarding asylum seekers? We focus on attitudes regarding governmental policy towards out-group members and suggest that perceptions of threat help to shape these policy attitudes. Study 1 compared public opinion regarding asylum policy in Israel ( N = 137) and Australia ( N = 138), two countries with restrictive asylum policies and who host a large number of asylum seekers; Study 2, a…
Neither Deep nor Shallow
The experiment reported here tests the Lexical Orthography Hypothesis, that is, the notion that the output of the lexical phonology is the most promising phonological depth for an exhaustive representation of tone by means of diacritics in the orthography of a tone language. We conducted a controlled classroom experiment with 97 secondary school pupils learning written Kabiye, a Gur language of northern Togo. After testing their baseline skills i…
Orthography
The term orthography refers to the set of symbols and the conventions governing their use that members of a language community employ when they communicate in their language through the medium of writing.
Phonetic realisation of downstep in Bimoba
Few phonological phenomena have so captured the attention of theorists and continued to baffle them as the phenomenon of tonal downstep. Downstep is the lowering of the tonal register that sometimes occurs between adjacent, otherwise identical tones. It is cumulative, and successive occurrences of the phenomenon result in ever lower settings of the tonal register. The present work reports on an instrumental study of downstep in Bimoba, a Gur lang…

Tonal Upstep in Krachi
While descriptions and analyses of tonal downstep abound, considerably less attention has been devoted to cases involving tonal upstep. This is no doubt due to the relative scarcity of languages that exhibit upstep. The present study examines certain tonal phenomena in Krachi, a language with two phonologically contrastive pitch levels. I argue that the Krachi data are best analyzed as involving an upward shifting of the tonal register (upstep). …
Vowel coalescence in Chumburung
Vowel harmony and the consonant I in Chumburung
This paper presents a synchronic description of the realization of /l/ in Chumburung, a Kwa language of Ghana. In this description I attempt to demonstrate that the influence of the feature advanced tongue root is not restricted to the vowel harmony system, but also spreads to influence the realization of the consonant /l/. Following from this synchronic description is evidence suggesting that native speakers of Chumburung require more than phone…
