Learning as nēhiyaw
In the face of continuing pressure from colonial languages, many Indigenous languages are experiencing renewed growth through promising and essential practices such as immersion and land-based learning. This article illustrates the importance of a nēhiyaw (Cree) immersion camp steeped in nēhiyaw pedagogy and onto-epistemological underpinnings related to land. These beliefs embrace the nēhiyawak (Cree people) understanding that language is alive w…
Effects of Video Reversal on Gaze Patterns during Signed Narrative Comprehension
Language knowledge, age of acquisition (AoA), and stimulus intelligibility all affect gaze behavior for reading print, but it is unknown how these factors affect “sign-watching” among signers. This study investigated how these factors affect gaze behavior during sign language comprehension in 52 adult signers who acquired American Sign Language (ASL) at different ages. We examined gaze patterns and story comprehension in four subject groups who d…
Mapping Experience
To understand how effectively digital maps of Indigenous languages engage a variety of audiences, a mixed-methods user study focused on the experiences of 23 Indigenous and non-Indigenous users aged under and over 30 from a Canadian university as they navigated an online Canadian Indigenous language atlas by completing a series of tasks. An evaluative component assessed the efficacy of the study itself in measuring such experiences. Indigenous pa…
Operationalization of Sign Language Phonological Similarity and its Effects on Lexical Access
Cognitive mechanisms for sign language lexical access are fairly unknown. This study investigated whether phonological similarity facilitates lexical retrieval in sign languages using measures from a new lexical database for American Sign Language. Additionally, it aimed to determine which similarity metric best fits the present data in order to inform theories of how phonological similarity is constructed within the lexicon and to aid in the ope…
New Directions in ASL-English Bilingual Ebooks
The widespread adoption of smartphones and tablet computers have enabled the rapid creation and distribution of innovative American Sign Language (ASL) and written English bilingual ebooks, aimed primarily at deaf and hard-of-hearing children. These sign-print bilingual ebooks are unique in how they take advantage of digital platforms to display both video and text, and they take markedly divergent approaches to integrating the two media. How the…
Further work at Kilise Tepe, 2007-2011
The excavations at Kilise Tepe in the 1990s inevitably left a range of research questions unanswered, and our second spell of work at the site from 2007 to 2011 sought to address some of these, relating to the later second and early first millennia. This article gathers the architectural and stratigraphie results of the renewed excavations, presenting the fresh information about the layout and character of the Late Bronze Age North-West Building …
Accountability, victims and reconciliation in South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission
Truth commissions and trials are geared towards the achievement of different outcomes, and ideally they should not be mutually exclusive alternatives. However, within the South African context a choice was made, and there are sound reasons for concluding that, while imperfect, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was nevertheless the more realistic and far-reaching proposition. It delivered elements of accountability and prevention; offered in…
Excavations at Tell Brak 2006–2007
Excavations at Tell Brak in 2006–7 explored two key episodes in Mesopotamian political and social history, developing early social complexity in the fifth to fourth millennia BC and the shift from territorial state to early empire in the second millennium BC. Late Chalcolithic complexity is represented in Area TW on the main mound and at the outlying sub-mound of Tell Majnuna, while investigation of the Old Babylonian to Mitanni state-to-empire t…
