Quality time in quarantine
Objective This study examined the impact of quality time spent with family in modifying the relationship between various negative home and social consequences of the pandemic and subsequent social and behavioral outcomes. Background Adverse consequences related to economic, health, and social factors were brought about by the COVID‐19 pandemic. In other contexts, family protective factors and resiliency have been found to mitigate similar adverse…
Hunter-Gatherer Children at School
Universal formal education is a major global development goal. Yet hunter-gatherer communities have extremely low participation rates in formal schooling, even in comparison with other marginalized groups. Here, we review the existing literature to identify common challenges faced by hunter-gatherer children in formal education systems in the Global South. We find that hunter-gatherer children are often granted extensive personal autonomy, which …
Sustainable education should include Indigenous knowledge
Research note
We recently conducted a review of the literature regarding hunter-gatherer children’s schooling experiences in the global South (Ninkova et al 2024). In this research note, we highlight one central finding of our review: that the autonomy granted to hunter-gatherer children determines their participation in school. Children decide for themselves whether they will attend. Children also decide for themselves whether they will pursue alternative end…
Promotive and Buffering Effects of Protective and Compensatory Experiences on Mental Health and Adjustment in Young Adults
Adverse childhood Experiences (ACEs) are considered a major public health crisis. Protective and Compensatory Experiences (PACEs) may help to ameliorate the effects of ACEs on young adult well-being. This study examined the moderating role of childhood PACEs on the effects of ACEs on depression, anxiety, substance use, and emotion regulation (ER) difficulties in a sample of 550 (73% female, m age = 20 yrs.) undergraduate students. ACEs were assoc…
Parenting Challenges and Opportunities among Families Living in Poverty
Poverty-related stressors have been found to impact parenting behaviors which can result in adverse outcomes for children. The current qualitative study focused on understanding the challenges of caregivers (N = 70) living in poverty. The sample was diverse and included mothers, fathers, and grandparents raising grandchildren. Stories of caregivers were gathered to improve the understanding of families living in poverty in an effort to work towar…
Integrating and synthesizing adversity and resilience knowledge and action
This article proposes a model for understanding the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) as dynamic and interrelated biobehavioral adaptations to early life stress that have predictable consequences on development and health. Drawing upon research from multiple theoretical and methodological approaches, the intergenerational and cumulative adverse and resilient experiences (ICARE) model posits that the negative consequences of ACEs res…
The impact of positive parenting behaviors and maternal depression on the features of young children's home language environments
This study investigated the associations between maternal depression when infants were 3 to 11 months old ( M = 6 months), and positive parenting behaviors when children were between 12 and 22 months ( M = 17 months) and the home language environment assessed when children were 18 to 28 months old ( M = 23.5 months) in a sample of 29 low-income mother–child dyads. After controlling for maternal education, only teaching behaviors remained a modera…
Le tourisme en quête d'authenticité
The Research and Advocacy Group for Hunter Gatherer Education
Contemporary hunter-gatherers are among the most marginalized peoples in the world today, and face severe threats to their cultures, their livelihoods, and in many places – their very existence. Although formal education – schooling – is often presented as a solution for marginalized groups, generally social hierarchies are reproduced through such systems, and the extreme marginalization of hunters and gatherers in modern societies is mirrored in…
Hunter-gatherer education special issue
Hunter-gatherers and education
This article provides an overview of some of the main themes that have emerged in the research on hunter gatherers and education. The term ‘education’ refers both to schooling, and to the traditional pedagogical modes of knowledge transmission that hunter-gatherer communities have developed and maintained over millennia. Formal education plays a crucial, yet complicated role for contemporary hunter-gatherers; it is considered to be a foundational…
The ILO PRO169 programme
Taking as a point of departure an evaluation conducted for the International Labour Organization’s Programme to Promote ILO Convention No. 169 (PRO 169) this article examines the strategic approaches of the ILO towards the promotion of indigenous peoples’ rights. Through technical assistance to a wide range of stakeholders, PRO 169 sought to work at various levels to increase awareness, build capacity, and support policy initiatives within indivi…
Interpretations of San Ethnicity and Identity in Namibia
This review article describes two books, both focusing on San ethnic groups in Namibia. The group of ethnicities collectively identified as the San,1 and categorised as indigenous hunter-gatherers
Divergence in speech perception
This paper presents results from an experiment designed to test whether New Zealand listeners' perceptual adaptation towards Australian English is mediated by their attitudes toward Australia, which we attempted to manipulate experimentally. Participants were put into one of three conditions, where they either read good facts about Australia, bad facts about Australia, or no facts about Australia (the control). Participants performed the same lis…
Hearing r-sandhi
This article reports on patterns in the production and perception of New Zealand English r -sandhi. We report on two phoneme-monitoring experiments that examine whether listeners from three regions are sensitive to the distribution of r -presence in linking and intrusive environments. The results provide evidence that sound perception is affected by a listener's experience-driven expectations: greater prior experience with a sound in a given cont…

Walking in your grandfather’s footsteps”
« Marcher sur les pas de son grand-père »: parenté et transmission du savoir chez les Juǀ’hoansi (Namibie). Les récentes approches sur l’apprentissage chez les peuples chasseurs-cueilleurs actuels ou chez les post-chasseurs-cueilleurs examinent les rôles respectifs de la transmission verticale et horizontale du savoir. L’organisation de la parenté et l’organisation sociale chez les Juǀ’hoansi de Namibie nous encouragent à privilégier une approche…

Car-talk
Some locations are probabilistically associated with certain types of speech. Most speech that is encountered in a car, for example, will have Lombard-like characteristics as a result of having been produced in the context of car noise. We examine the hypothesis that the association between cars and Lombard speech will trigger Lombard-like speaking and listening behaviour when a person is physically present in a car, even in the absence of noise.…
À qui appartient l'éducation ? Les Écoles de village et les Ju|'hoansi de Nyae Nyae, Namibie
The Ju|’hoansi are one of the linguistic and cultural groups in South Africa known collectively as the San. Recognized as the first inhabitants of the region, the San – former hunters and gatherers – are located at the bottom of the socioeconomic hierarchy of the region. One measure of this marginalization is the very low enrollment rates of San in the formal education system. This article describes one attempt to address these issues for the Ju|…
The evolution of medial /t/ over real and remembered time
This article follows a change in pronunciation of word-medial intervocalic /t/ in New Zealand English, as it unfolds over 120 years. Data are analyzed in the context of questions about the role of experience-based lexical representations and their potential impact on the time course of sound change in progress. Three major results are reported. First, frequent words lead the change. Second, the distributions of individual words affect their parti…
Participants Conform to Humans but Not to Humanoid Robots in an English Past Tense Formation Task
In this article, we discuss the results of an experiment designed to test the boundaries of linguistic imitation in a group setting. While most prior work has focused on convergence in either sound structure or syntax, we investigate whether speakers' choices in verb morphology are influenced by others. The experiment uses an Asch-type peer pressure methodology. Participants give responses to target stimuli in a verbal and a visual task in a grou…
Contextual activation of Australia can affect New Zealanders' vowel productions
The short front vowels KIT /ɪ/, TRAP /ae/, and DRESS /ɛ/differ in their realization between speakers in New Zealand and Australian English. This paper analyses how New Zealanders produce these vowels when in an Australian-primed context. Two studies are undertaken. The first – a corpus analysis – looks at the realization of these vowels in New Zealanders' spontaneous talk about Australia. The second – an experiment – looks at the realization of t…
R/-sandhi in early 20th century New Zealand English
Most work on linking and intrusive /r/ is conducted within the context of theoretical model building. This paper contributes some empirical data on the phenomenon by conducting the first large-scale acoustic analysis on the production of linking and intrusive /r/ in spontaneous speech. We analyze linking and intrusive /r/ in the speech of New Zealanders born between 1900 and 1935 — a period during which New Zealand English had recently become rel…

Factors influencing speech perception in the context of a merger-in-progress
Stuffed toys and speech perception
Previous research has shown that speech perception can be influenced by a speaker's social characteristics, including the expected dialect area of the speaker (Niedzielski, Journal of Language and Social Psychology 18: 62–85, 1999; Hay et al. The Linguistic Review 23: 351–379, 2006a). This article reports on an experiment designed to test to degree to which exposure to the concept of a region can also influence perception. In order to invoke the …

Sociophonetics
Investigators have recently made impressive progress in multiple areas of sociophonetics. One area is the use of increasingly sophisticated phonetic analysis, which is demonstrating that very fine phonetic detail is used for the construction of social identity. A second area is the use of ethnographic approaches, which enable researchers to break free from using traditional social categories that may not be relevant for a particular group of spea…
Lexical frequency in morphology
While it is widely assumed that high-frequency morphologically complex forms tend to display characteristics of noncompositionality, models of morphological processing do not predict a direct relationship between absolute frequency and decomposition. Rather, they predict a relationship between decomposition and the relative frequency of the derived form and the base. This paper argues that such a relative frequency effect does, indeed, exist. Fir…
From Speech Perception to Morphology
This article presents corpus and experimental evidence in support of a parsability-based account of affix ordering in English: an affix that tends to be easily parsed out during speech perception should not occur inside an affix that does not. This generalization holds both at the affix level and the word level. At the affix level, this maxim, when combined with an understanding of the role of frequency and phonotactics in morphological processin…

How Rhoticity Became /r/-sandhi
It is well known that nearly all nonrhotic dialects of English exhibit linking and/or intrusive /r/. What is not known are the details about how linking and intrusive /r/ emerge. This article provides the first empirical data on the diachronic relationship between the decline of rhoticity and the emergence of /r/-sandhi in a dialect of English. The results are based on an analysis of rhoticity and /r/-sandhi in the speech of New Zealanders born b…

Ladies first? Phonology, frequency, and the naming conspiracy
In pairs of names, male names often precede female names (e.g. Romeo and Juliet). We investigate this bias and argue that preferences for name ordering are constrained by a combination of gender, phonology, and frequency. First, various phonological constraints condition the optimal ordering of binomial pairs, and findings from our corpus investigations show that male names contain those features which lend them to be preferred in first position,…

Educational rights for indigenous communities in Botswana and Namibia
The indigenous peoples of Botswana and Namibia, the San, have the lowest educational attainment rates of any population in both countries, despite various efforts to incorporate them into mainstream education systems. Both countries are signatories of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which includes several references to education.

Phoneme inventory size and population size
This short report investigates the relationship between population size and phoneme inventory size, and finds a surprisingly robust correlation between the two. The more speakers a language has, the bigger its phoneme inventory is likely to be. We show that this holds for both vowel inventories and consonant inventories. It is not an artifact of language family

The Nyae Nyae Village Schools 1994–2010
This article provides an overview of a mother-tongue education project for the Ju|'hoansi of Nyae Nyae in Namibia—the village schools. These schools are the only places in southern Africa where an Indigenous San community has access to mother-tongue education for 3 years; and are, thus, an important example in the region. However, there are some daunting challenges that still hinder the transition of Ju|'hoan children to the mainstream government…

Local languages, national contexts, global concerns
The present volume contains an introduction and six papers written by a total of eight authors who presented papers at a session of the annual meetings of the American Anthropological Association sponsored by the Council on Anthropology and Education held at San Jose, California in November 2006. The session was entitled 'Mother tongue education for speakers of ethnic minority languages.' In their papers, the authors put forward the analysis of t…
Steps forward and new challenges
Two international conferences held in southern Africa in 2005 gathered education and language experts to discuss practical, theoretical, and political aspects of the development of African languages for education. Despite the diversity of the participants, there was unanimous agreement that the economic and social benefits of providing mother-tongue education far outweigh the costs. Furthermore, the predominant view was that mother-tongue educati…
