The Particularity of Global Places: Placemaking Practices in Los Angeles and Sydney
What makes places different from one another in the context of globalization? An analysis of 17 emblematic practices in two global cities, Los Angeles and Sydney, provides the empirical basis for answering this question. Evidence from the built environment, the social geography, and the patterns of disorder in the inner cities of these two global places shows that these cities were more alike in the late 1960s than they are today. The differentia…
A closer look at the constraint hierarchy: Order, contrast, and geographical scale
Close examination of five constraint hierarchies involved in the vocalization of /l/ in Australian and New Zealand English across five geolinguistic scales (individual, local, regional, national, and supranational) reveals patterns of variation that allow us to distinguish linguistic processes that are universal from those that are particular. Based on 42 goldvarb analyses, we use probability weights to measure the variation in the order and cont…
The geolinguistics of /l/ vocalization in Australia and New Zealand
Recent work in comparative sociolinguistics marks a re-engagement of variationists studying language change in progress with geography. In this study of the vocalization of /l/ in nine speech localities in Australian and New Zealand English, the geographical, the linguistic and the social constraints on variation are all included in the quantitative analysis. The usual identification of the starting point of change as the factor that is quantitat…
A multilocality study of a sound change in progress: The case of /l/ vocalization in New Zealand and Australian English
It is usual to study a number of linguistic variables in a single speech community. The present study, however, focuses on a single phonological variable in a number of speech communities—the vocalization of /l/ in nine Australian and New Zealand cities—in order to (1) strengthen and extend the quick and anonymous field method by designing an instrument to include all relevant phonological environments; (2) demonstrate the strategic potential of …

Restructuring in U.S. Manufacturing: The Decline of Monopoly Capitalism
We outline a framework grounded in Marxist political economy for investigating structural change in particular industries as well as the larger economy. Our approach focuses upon processes of capital and labor restructuring that lie behind the geographical manifestations of industrial change. An empirical study of capitalist restructuring in 51 U.S. manufacturing sectors from 1958–77 reveals the emergence of a distinctively new variant of capital…

A Definition of Colonialism
Colonialism, imperialism, and neocolonialism are terms that remain undefined despite the enormous literature devoted to the phenomena. Within the academy and without, a critical evaluation of colonialism, imperialism, and neocolonialism is going on-and definition is a pre-requisite for critical evaluation. A model for generating definitions that are logically consistent is offered in this paper. The model first identifies the variables relevant t…

The Wandering Capitals of Ethiopia
The purpose of this essay has been twofold: first, to describe the wandering capitals of sixteenth and seventeenth-century Ethiopia, and secondly, to offer an explanation for the pattern of movement. Ethiopian wandering capitals possessed many of the characteristics that are often used to distinguish cities from other forms of settlement. Roving capitals were large and densely populated enough to qualify for city status, they performed an essenti…
Von Thünen's Isolated State and the Area Around Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
This paper compares the agricultural patterns in the immediate umland of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with the crop theory in von Thünen's Isolated State. Although many of the assumptions upon which the Isolated State was built are not met in the study area, several striking empirical parallels can be seen. First, there is a ninety-five square mile eucalyptus forest surrounding the capital city, producing firewood and building material for the city. Ev…
