Voiced Implosive Acquisition
While relatively rare, implosives can be observed in numerous African languages such as Fulfulde, isiXhosa, and isiZulu. Research on the acquisition of implosives remains limited; however, the few existing studies suggest that these sounds are typically acquired by around age 3;0. Despite these findings, the developmental processes underlying this class of sounds in children are still not well understood. Notably, most studies look at the bilabia…
Contribution au développement d'un modèle heuristique des temporalités en contexte de réchauffement climatique
C'est à partir d'un exemple d'une situation de recherche, où le chercheur, en situation de rencontre culturelle à Mayotte, est dans l'incapacité de comprendre les réponses fournies par les enquêtés, que se construit cet article. La thématique de recherche princeps, autour du changement climatique, est alors détournée pour étudier plus largement la manière dont le chercheur pouvait comprendre, définir et modéliser la construction du temps à Mayott…
Climate change by any other name
As population-related climate change research increases, so does the need to nuance approaches to this complex phenomenon, including issues related to cultural and linguistic translations. To explore how climate change is understood in understudied societies, a case-study approach is taken to address social representations of climate change by inhabitants of a Maore village in the French island of Mayotte. The study explores how local fishers und…
The acoustic characteristics of implosive and plosive bilabials in Shimaore
Implosive consonants have drawn the attention of researchers over time, partially due to their relative rarity in the world’s languages, and partially due to their unique ingressive air flow. This sound category has varying complex features from an articulatory and acoustic perspective. This study explores the sound category by analyzing the acoustic features of a language whose implosives have yet to be acoustically considered: Shimaore, a Bantu…
Crisis narratives and (dis)placement
Narrative analysis can serve as an interdisciplinary bridge for understanding social phenomenon, such as natural disasters, through a linguistic lens. This article analyzes narratives about an unprecedented swarm of earthquakes experienced by inhabitants of the island of Mayotte in the Mozambique Channel. This panic-inducing crisis had people leaving their homes in the middle of the night in order to gather outside in search of refuge. Stories ar…
Pluralizing the Paraphrase

Our speech is filled with others' words
At the center of academic writing sits the practice of paraphrasing. Writers are constantly paraphrasing the ideas, findings and language of others. Despite this commonplace presence, it continues to be a challenging activity for both students to engage in and for teachers to instruct. Bakhtinian theory on language use and learning could help address struggles regarding paraphrasing observed in academia. Through a Bakhtinian lens, this article pr…
Writing and Achievement at University as Individualistic or Social Practices
Although Latino enrollment has increased at postsecondary institutions, this minority population is not graduating at the same rate as others. The current study looks at the intersection of educational success stories and writing practices of two upper division Latino students, Martin and Raquel, at a large public U.S. university. Using Bourdieu’s (1977, 1991) theories of symbolic capital and agency, the study addresses how the students’ stories …
Using the Appraisal framework to analyze source use in essays
A key element of academic writing involves incorporation of external voices, which is a complex rhetorical and linguistic task. Student writers must face this challenge of using sources to strengthen their own arguments. Appraisal, specifically Engagement, provides a useful framework for analyzing source use in texts, as it considers evaluation and dialogic voicing. This article describes a semi-ethnographic case study that contrasts two undergra…

New Percentage Body Fat Prediction Equations for Japanese Females
Anthropometry is a simple and cost-efficient method for the assessment of body composition. However prediction equations to estimate body composition using anthropometry should be 'population-specific'. Most popular body composition prediction equations for Japanese females were proposed more than 40 years ago and there is some concern regarding their usefulness in Japanese females living today. The aim of this study was to compare percentage bod…
