“A garden gives life, it feeds us”: Cultural explainers for the eco-social networks of Solomon Island ‘gardens’
In the lingua francas of Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea, the places where people grow food are referred to using the word gaden . Although gardening (horticulture) plays a significant role in food and nutrition security in Solomon Islands and other Pacific countries, there is evidence that local ‘insider’ meaning of gaden is often not well understood by outsiders, especially in relation to its cultural and eco-social significance. The aim o…
The implications of farmer‐to‐farmer learning and local knowledge networks for food security in Solomon Islands and beyond
Across the Pacific, socio‐cultural networks are a key way to share knowledge and skills. However, as peer‐to‐peer learning is contextually and culturally located, it is important to understand the place‐based specifics of such learning. This article draws on the evaluation of a series of household‐based workshops on agricultural development and food security in a remote area of Solomon Islands. It outlines this community's kinship ecology for far…
Epigraphy and New Testament Exegesis
Within the diverse paths of New Testament exegesis, a new approach is presented here, namely, interpretation against the background of epigraphic sources. Although this approach has a prehistory in the 19th and 20th centuries, it is only now being taken up again with the project of an Epigraphical Commentary on the New Testament (ECNT). The article briefly describes the more precise procedure for compiling such a commentary and presents three exa…
Stress and eating behaviours in healthy adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Expensive English: An accessible language approach for Papua New Guinea agricultural development
Language used in capacity development programmes is usually that of the donor country, often English. However, research shows that the language used can be detrimental to the success of the programme. Little attention has been given to the issue of language, yet it is important that programme participants fully understand the capacity development programme’s concepts to ensure that the programme achieves its full potential. This article explores …
Narrative Texts and Clause Order: Changes over Time
Longgu (South-East Solomonic, Oceanic) allows variation in the position of lexical S/A arguments within the clause. Lexical S/A arguments may be located before the verb complex or clause finally. Their presence or absence, and their location within the clause, reflect topicalizing and focusing strategies within the language. This paper looks at the changes in the frequency of different clause orders in Longgu narratives over time, in oral and wri…
When ̋go ̋ means ̋come ̋: Questioning the basicness of basic motion verbs
The purpose of this paper is to question some of the basic assumpiions concerning motion verbs. In particular, it examines the assumption that "come" and "go" are lexical universals which manifest a universal deictic Opposition. Against the background offive working hypotheses about the nature of'come" and ''go", this study presents a comparative investigation of t wo unrelated languages—Mparntwe Arrernte (Pama-Nyungan, Australian) and Longgu (Oc…
