An interview with Leena Huss
Leena Huss was born in Sweden but grew up in Finland.After studying at the Helsinki School of Economics, where she obtained a Master of Science in Economics, she moved to Sweden and shifted to studies in Finnish and Finno-Ugric Languages at Uppsala University.Raising a (Finnish-Swedish) bilingual family of her own in Sweden inspired her to pursue studies in child bilingualism which in 1991 led to a dissertation called Simultan tvsprkighet i svens…
The Origin and Effect of the Nisi Prius Reports
For some seventy years, rulings made by judges sitting at nisi prius were regularly reported, despite those reports being held in low esteem by the legal profession and such rulings being regarded as of little value as precedents. This article considers why those rulings, at least on matters of substantive law, were rejected as authorities, and sets out the reasons why they were nevertheless reported and cited. The article explains that the princ…

An Examination of the Patterns of Substance Use in Activity Spaces and Their Relationship to Problematic Use
During adolescence, adolescents are given more freedom to independently interact with a variety of social contexts. The eco-developmental model suggests that the activity spaces where adolescents spend their time affect substance-use behaviors beyond peer influences, and that the relationships may differ based on the adolescent's demographic characteristics. This study examines adolescent patterns of reported substance use across activity spaces …

The making of Jall: Its beginnings and intellectual foundations
The Journal of African Languages and Linguistics (JALL) was founded in 1979 at the University of Leiden, with Paul Newman as Editor and Thilo Schadeberg as Associate Editor. Foris Publications was the initial publisher. Motivation for launching a new journal came from the fact that whereas African linguistics in the 1970s was thriving, many of the extant African linguistics journals were floundering. From its inception, JALL was conceived of as a…

Disgrace, Benang, and the search for Benvolence
Two representative figures of white male obstinacy are put in the face of social change in two literary novels, Disgrace by the South African writer J M Coetzee, and Benang, by Indigenous Australian writer Kim Scott. It is concluded that Disgrace and Benang's protagonists fail to secure or even to seek a place in the reconciliation narratives that call for a new politics of benevolent address through apology, listening and counselling

The Drift from the Coda into the Syllable Nucleus in Hausa
This paper illustrates the importance of syllable organization in phonological development and the validity of drift as a factor in diachronic change. At an earlier period, word medial CVC syllables, with the second C belonging to the coda, were quite common in Hausa. As a result of well-known sound laws, many of the syllable-final consonants underwent weakening, e.g., *k > w,*t > f, *r > y, *m > N (a homorganic nasal). Subsequently, the erstwhil…

Internal evidence for final vowel lowering in Hausa
Internal factors involving phonotactic asymmetries and irregular morphological alternations suggest that final */uu/ in Hausa historically lowered to /oo/ when the preceding syllable contained /aa/, e.g. *kwaacfoo 'frog

LTR a response to Schuh
Some twenty years ago Leben proposed that Hausa had a productive, essentially exceptionless P rule ("L TR") to the effect that any word fmal L L sequence automatically changed to L H if the final vowel of the word was long. Since that time, L TR has become accepted as a phonological rule of Hausa alongside such well-established rules as vowel shortening in closed syllables or palatalization of coronal consonants before front vowels. The aim of ou…
Low tone raising in Hausa a critical assessment
Low tone raising (LTR) refers to a phonological rule postulated for Hausa by Leben [1971], whereby word-final Low-Low sequences change to Low-High if the final vowel is long. In the first part of the paper, we show that counterexamples to the rule are considerably more numerous and more varied than previously thought. In the second part, we demonstrate that the morphotonemic alternations that served to justify LTR can all be explained by other, b…

Lexical and Syntactic Causatives in Oromo
In the syntactic process of causative formation in Oromo, the affixation of the causative morpheme is sensitive to initial grammatical relations: the number of causative morphemes corresponds to the number of logical subjects in the clause. Thus, transitive and unergative verbs can be distinguished from unaccusatives in causative constructions. A causative-intensive construction may also be formed via reduplication of this causative morpheme. How…
Tone and affixation in Hausa
In terms of their tonal behavior, Hausa affixes can be divided into two types. Tone integrating affixes (TIA's), all of which are suffixes, spread their tone(s) over the stem to which they are attached, overriding lexical stem tone in the process. Tonal assignment takes place in a regular right-to-left manner. Tone non-integrating affixes (TNI's) do not affect stem tone, the tone of resultant words simply being the sum of the parts. Most inflecti…

The Reality of Morphophonemes
The importance of the morphophoneme as a structural unit has not been fully recognized. Post-Bloomfieldians explicitly rejected this unit and methods of description making use of it. This paper contends that morphophonemes are indeed required for the most efficient description of morpheme alternants. It is further argued that morphophonemes are real phonological units and not simply abstractions fictions. These points are illustrated by a problem…

Ethonyms in Hausa
Hausa ethnonyms, terms indicating a person's origin, ethnic affiliation, or professional or social position, are formed with a prefix ba-in the singujlar and a suffix -aawaa in the plural. This paper provides a detailed specification of the segmental and tonal characteristics of "these ethnonyms and a comprehensive list of currently acceptable forms. The paper illustrates the semi-productive nature of the construction and the imperfect pairing of…
