The influence of reader and text characteristics on sixth graders' inference making
Background We examined the influence of text and reader characteristics on sixth graders' inference generation. Methods Eleven‐ to 12‐year‐old US monolingual English speakers ( N = 71) and Spanish‐English bilinguals ( N = 81) read narrative and informational expository texts requiring an inference and answered an inference‐tapping question after each text. We examined the influence of language status, word reading ability, knowledge (background k…

The Neanderthals
The Neanderthals have long fascinated archaeologists and anthropologists alike. Similarity to us coupled with clear differences has produced endless theorizing. This article reviews the background to such ideas. It examines the current lines of thought about Neanderthals and explores the validity of the conclusions. The ultimate aim is the construction of a social synthesis, a solid foundation upon which the validity of inferences regarding Neand…

The future of mine migrancy in the context of broader trends in migration in Southern Africa
The migration issue in Southern Africa has generally been seen as relevant in discussion about future regional economic cooperation in two main ways. First, the new democratic government's attitude to legal migration, particularly, but not only, to the mining industry, has been seen as a litmus test of real commitment to 'reconstructing regional relations on new lines'. Second, the prospect of escalating clandestine migration has been seen as a r…
South Africa and Mozambique
Since 1988, there has been some significant change in the content of South African policy towards Mozambique: economic and diplomatic action has come to feature more prominently in the mix of tactics deployed by Pretoria. Official rhetoric now proclaims the major objective of that policy to be to assume a prominent role in reconstructing peace in a country devastated by Pretoria’s own undeclared war of destabilisation. Several years earlier, in t…

Total strategy in Southern Africa
On 16 March 1984 the Republic of South Africa and the Peoples' Republic of Mozambique signed an 'Agreement on Non-Aggression and Good Neighbourliness', known as the Nkomati Accord. This event dramatically focussed attention on South Africa's regional policy objectives and strategy. It is now generally recognised by all but its apologists that the apartheid state has in recent years engaged in an intense struggle both to assert its hegemony over t…

The state of analysis of the Southern African region
The southern African region today is a battleground. In two broad interrelated struggles the mass of the population of the region are ranged against the South African ruling class and its apartheid regime. The first of these is the advancing national liberation struggles inside South Africa and Namibia, led by the ANC and SWAPO. These struggles are assisted in the region by attempts to co‐ordinate the policies of the six African states grouped to…

Class struggle and the periodisation of the state in South Africa
This article represents an attempt to periodise the South African state through an analysis of political class struggle. The analysis draws heavily on the theoretical work of Nicos Poulzantzas. The changing patterns of conflict and alliance between the different classes and “fractions” in the “power bloc” are traced in an attempt to identify changes in the form of state and form of regime. The analysis, concentrating on three historical periods —…
Two studies of the effects of linguistic diversity upon judgments of communicator attributes and message effectiveness
The authors conducted two studies on the effects of high and low linguistic diversity upon judgments of communicator attributes and message effectiveness. Generally, the first study demonstrated that low linguistic diversity negatively affects listeners' evaluative judgments. These effects were independent of medium of presentation (oral vs. written) and of perceived situational formality (high vs. low). The second study demonstrated that the eff…

Mining capital, the state and unskilled white workers in South Africa, 1901-1913
The policy not to employ unskilled whites in general labouring jobs in the South African goldmining industry was one crucial element in the make up of that industry's characteristic pattern of social relations to production. The restriction of unskilled white employment to certain defined job categories had the effect of transforming the division of labour which had developed in the nineteenth century-basically a skilled-unskilled division with c…

The Role of Prior Message Context in Evaluative Judgments of High- and Low-Diversity Messages
Two studies are reported. The first explored the possibility of contrast effects in judgments of messages exhibiting high or low lexical and syntactic diversity. Listeners heard an initial message and then a subsequent message which differed in diversity level. Results indicated that contrast effects were obtained, though these effects were facilitated or inhibited by other aspects of message quality. In light of a previous negative result, the s…

Collectivization and Its Consequences
Industrial relations legislation
This paper focuses on the struggles of wage earners — both black and white — in various epochs of South Africa's history. More specifically, it concentrates on the legal framework governing industrial conflict. It attempts to pinpoint the double‐edged nature of the concessions offered by the state to the working class, and to illustrate how these concessions inevitably contain within them safeguards designed to maintain the exploitative relations…

The White Working-Class in South Africa
At present, there is no liberation movement in South Africa which seriously regards the white working class as a potential ally, because of the benefits that this section of the settler community derives from Apartheid. Some currents within it have recently even revealed symptoms of political sympathy for

Richness of Vocabulary
Five experiments demonstrated a positive relationship between a speaker's lexical diversity level and listeners' judgments of his socioeconomic status, competence, emotional state, and communication effectiveness. Two other language variables, lexical density and syntactic diversity, did not yield such relationships. Level of lexical diversity did not consistently affect listeners' attitudes toward neutral concepts described by speakers, nor did …
