  • Gender, Relationships, and Negotiation

    Ines W Jindra, Jenna Thompson et al.ARTICLENova Religio The Journal of…2026

    Little has been written specifically about how men frame their experiences of leaving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). Using a qualitative coding technique, we analyze the deconversion narratives of twenty American men who left the LDS church. Based on an understanding of the ways the LDS church shapes the male life course, we find that milestones and expectations—obligatory priesthood advancement, mission, marriage, a famil…

  • Pushing the boundaries

    Open AccessNicholas EvansARTICLERussian Journal of Linguistics2022

    Phonemes with restricted distribution represent an interesting analytic challenge. Well-known sources include the adoption of certain phonemes from other languages in borrowed words, emerging phonemic splits, and special phonological subsystems (e.g. ideophones). This paper aims to widen our conception of such marginal phonemes, by incorporating another source: specific vocal gestures called into play in interactional settings. Our initial puzzle…

  • Can We Justify Military Enhancements? Some Yes, Most No

    Open AccessBlake Hereth, Nicholas Evans et al.ARTICLECambridge Quarterly of Healthcare…2022

    The United States Department of Defense has, for at least 20 years, held the stated intention to enhance active military personnel (“warfighters”). This intention has become more acute in the face of dropping recruitment, an aging fighting force, and emerging strategic challenges. However, developing and testing enhancements is clouded by the ethically contested status of enhancements, the long history of abuse by military medical researchers, an…

  • Grambank reveals the importance of genealogical constraints on linguistic diversity and highlights the impact of language loss

    Hedvig Skirgård, Hannah J Haynie et al.PREPRINT2022

    While global patterns of human genetic diversity are increasingly well characterized, the diversity of human languages remains less systematically described. Here we outline the Grambank database. With over 400,000 data points and 2,400 languages, Grambank is the largest comparative grammatical database available. The comprehensiveness of Grambank allows us to quantify the relative effects of genealogical inheritance and geographic proximity on t…

  • Blowing in the wind

    Open AccessLouise Baird, Nicholas Evans et al.ARTICLEJournal of the International…2022

    Language documentation faces a persistent and pervasive problem: How much material is enough to represent a language fully? How much text would we need to sample the full phoneme inventory of a language? In the phonetic/phonemic domain, what proportion of the phoneme inventory can we expect to sample in a text of a given length? Answering these questions in a quantifiable way is tricky, but asking them is necessary. The cumulative collection of I…

  • Picti

    Open AccessNicholas EvansARTICLEJournal of Medieval History2022Referências: 1

    Recent scholarship has become increasingly sceptical about the importance of Pictish identity in the first millennium A.D. It has been suggested that Picti was an external classical general label for people inhabiting northern Britain only adopted internally in the late seventh century. This article reviews the references to Picti in late antique and subsequent Insular sources from the late third century to A.D. 700. It proposes that the term was…

  • A Public Health Ethics Model of Countering Violent Extremism

    Neil D Shortland, Nicholas Evans et al.ARTICLETerrorism and Political Violence2021

    The term “countering violent extremism” (CVE) refers to a suite of proactive actions to counter efforts by extremists to recruit, radicalize, and mobilize followers to violence, and thus prevent extremist violence from occurring. In this article we explore the ethics of CVE. We begin with a description of CVE, framed within a discussion of the history (and issues) with counter-terrorism efforts post 9/11. We also outline the many and varied techn…

  • Death in the Diaspora

    Nicholas J Evans, Nicholas Evans et al.BOOKDeath in the Diaspora2020

    As the British expanded their empire from near colonies such as Ireland to those in remote corners of the world, such as Barbados, Ceylon and Australia, they left a trail of physical remains in every parish where settlement occurred. Between the seventeenth and twentieth centuries, gravestones and elaborate epitaphs documented identity and attachment to both colony and metropole. This collection by leading migration historians and archaeologists …

    Gordon Noble, Nicholas Evans et al.ARTICLEArchaeological Journal2020Citada por: 5Referências: 5

    Dunnicaer, Aberdeenshire, a now isolated sea stack, is the findspot of five Pictish symbol stones discovered in the nineteenth century. Excavations from 2015 to 2017 have revealed a Roman Iron Age promontory fort, providing insights into the development of fortified settlement in north-east Scotland, with fortified sites being a key feature of first millennium AD elite practice in this region. The presence of rare and unusual finds indicates cont…

    The early Christian sculpture from Kinneddar has long been noted as a major assemblage. New survey work by the University of Aberdeen and AOC Archaeology has identified a large vallum enclosure around the site that was renewed on at least one occasion. The vallum enclosures surrounded an area of up to 8.6ha, and the groundplan presents striking resemblances to other major ecclesiastical sites, particularly Iona. Evaluative excavations instigated …

  • Songs that keep ancestral languages alive

    Reuben Brown, Nicholas Evans

    When songs are performed in socially meaningful and memorable contexts, they can act as vehicles that carry aspects of an individuals' language and identity, sometimes long after that person dies and his or her language is no longer spoken. In this chapter we present an illustrative case study from western Arnhem Land: the Milyarryarr ('black heron') song-set, which is associated with the 'extinct' languages of Marrku, Manangkardi, and Ilgar but …

  • Archaeology and linguistics

    Patrick Mcconvell, Nicholas Evans

    This text brings together work in archaeology, linguistics and genetics to reveal a varied and dynamic view of Australia's Aboriginal past, and its place in the prehistory of the Pacific region. Each discipline provides some pieces of the jigsaw: put these together and a fuller picture emerges. To the dates and excavations of archaeology we can fit linguistic models of cultural contact and spread, and genetic evidence for past patterns of marriag…

  • Iwaidja Jurtbirrk Songs

    Linda Barwick, Bruce C Birch et al.

    Song brings language and music together. Great singers are at once musi- cians and wordsmiths, who toss rhythm, melody and word against one another in complex cross-play. In this paper we outline some initial findings that are emerg- ing from our interdisciplinary study of the musical traditions of the Cobourg region of western Arnhem Land, a coastal area situated in the far north of the Australian continent 350 kilometres northeast of Darwin. We…
