When lexical semantics and word sense disambiguation meet lexicography
Lexical ambiguity, where a word has multiple related (polysemous) and/or unrelated (homographic) meanings, causes challenges in learning and teaching semi-technical medical vocabulary owing to its lack of consideration in current lexicographical resources, including wordlists and dictionaries. Academic wordlists fail to indicate polysemes and homographs, while conventional dictionaries number multiple meanings of a semi-technical medical word in …
Developing Professional Discretion to Differentiate Instruction for Underserved Gifted Learners
With a laser focus on bringing lower-achieving students up to mere proficiency, low-performing schools, which often serve students of color from disadvantaged backgrounds, are incentivized to deprioritize the development of academic talent in high-ability students. High-ability students at low-performing schools are therefore often bored, underperforming, and not challenged enough to rise to their true potential. Relying on the framework of teach…
Following the Rain
This article foregrounds La Niña's role in establishing climate optimism in the southeastern states of Australia in the 1860s and 1870s. It examines the perceptions of climate as influenced by the cycles of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), underscored by the decadal cycles of the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) and the influence in some areas of the intensity of the subtropical ridge. It finds an abundance of very wet La Niña years…

Where does the time go? An academic workload case study at an Australian university
Many universities divide their academic workloads according to a model of 40 per cent teaching, 40 per cent research, and 20 per cent administration and service. Increasing demands on academic time, however, make this balance hard to achieve, since teaching and administration frequently impinge on research time. Moreover, regular academic activities may not fit into the workloaded time available. This paper presents evidence from a 3 month case s…
Research in the pipeline
In the pipeline is an English idiom referring to something abstract, such as a project, that is in progress but is not yet complete. Although some research has been published on initiatives linking lexicography and phraseology, and more research may be in the pipeline, there is plenty of room for further collaboration. This paper will explore ways in which phraseology (epitomised here by the phrase known as an idiom) contributes to lexicography i…
Nen
Nen (ISO 639-3 code: nqn) is the easternmost language of the Yam (Morehead-Maro) family of Southern New Guinea. This family is one of over forty maximal genetic groupings in New Guinea, and is currently not relatable to any other language family in New Guinea or elsewhere. As with other aspects of their grammar, the phonology of the Morehead-Maro languages differs significantly from those of other Papuan languages. The phonology of Nen is broadly…
A model for an online Australian English cultural dictionary database
All cultures have their own specific words, phrases, sayings, signs and symbols. Such culturally bound terms need to be defined in a special way so that they can be understood well by people from different cultures and often require more extensive coverage than that provided in a general language dictionary. A dictionary of cultural terms is an ideal vehicle for this purpose, and an online version of such a dictionary can give greater flexibility…

Exploring the experiences of partners who live with a chronic low back pain sufferer
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a condition that causes individuals considerable distress. It also presents a significant challenge to the health service and is often viewed by clinicians as frustrating to manage. The purpose of the present paper is to explore the experiences of individuals in the immediate social sphere of those suffering from CLBP and their role in care-giving for their partner. An approach was taken using two qualitative resea…
