Sequential structure and diachronic assimilation in signed languages
Assimilatory processes are generally understood to rely on sequential structure: a target element adopts features of a preceding or following element. While signed languages arguably show less sequential structure than spoken languages, there are several areas of the grammar of signed languages where sequential structure is evident and the conditions for assimilatory processes are available. Previous work has explored coarticulatory effects in si…
New insights into nineteenth-century ASL
The study of language change in American Sign Language (ASL) has been constrained by a limited historical record. Here we present five case studies that demonstrate how applying a broad set of historical methods, together with the consultation of underutilized sources of sign data, can shed new light on ASL in the 19th century. These case studies cover aspects of two subsystems of ASL, (i) the fingerspelling alphabet and (ii) the numeral system, …
Sign languages of the Soviet Union
Many signing communities in countries that once formed part of the Soviet Union share a common deaf institutional history. The sign languages of these communities have been influenced by Russian Sign Language, which was taught and used to varying degrees in Soviet deaf schools. However, little is known about the linguistic histories of the sign languages of the Soviet Union or of the histories of the signing communities within which those languag…
Diachrony and Diachronica
Advances in the Historical Linguistics of Signed Languages
Scholarship in the field of sign historical linguistics has made important progress in recent years. Here we survey this progress in three areas of research that have received the most attention to date, namely, (i) qualitative approaches to understanding the typical pathways of diachronic change in signed languages, (ii) quantitative approaches to signed language classification, and (iii) archival approaches to historical sociolinguistic researc…
The Structure and Geography of the ASL Signing Community in the Mid-Nineteenth Century
In the early decades of the 19th century, the deaf population in the eastern US and Canada was distributed across a vast area. After the 1817 founding of the American School for the Deaf (ASD) in Hartford, CT and the subsequent establishment of schools for the deaf in New York City (NYSD), Philadelphia, and many other US states, hundreds of deaf students called these schools home for several years. After leaving school, the early American Deaf co…
The historical demography of the Martha’s Vineyard signing community
The deaf population of Martha’s Vineyard has fascinated scholars for more than a century since Alexander Graham Bell’s research on the frequent occurrence of deafness there and since Groce’s book on the island’s signing community (Groce, N. E. (1985). Everyone here spoke sign language: Hereditary deafness on Martha’s Vineyard. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.). In Groce’s work, and in that of subsequent scholars, the Vineyard signing comm…
Impacts of Flowering Density on Pollen Dispersal and Gametic Diversity Are Scale Dependent
Pollen dispersal is a key evolutionary and ecological process, but the degree to which variation in the density of concurrently flowering conspecific plants (i.e., coflowering density) shapes pollination patterns remains understudied. We monitored coflowering density and corresponding pollination patterns of the insect-pollinated palm Oenocarpus bataua in northwestern Ecuador and found that the influence of coflowering density on these patterns w…
Demographics in the formation of language communities and in the emergence of languages
How may the structure of a new linguistic community shape language emergence and change? The 1817 founding of the US's first enduring school for the deaf, the American School for the Deaf (ASD) in Hartford, Connecticut, heralded profound changes in the lives of deaf North Americans. We report the demographics of the early signing community at ASD through quantitative analyses of the 1,700 students who attended the school during its first fifty ye…
Archaeology and Oral Tradition in Malawi
Chieftaincy in Malawi
As African states emerged from colonial rule and adopted the trappings of western parliamentary government, many nationalist politicians regarded chieftaincy as an archaic institution, either to be abandoned or reduced to ceremonial. Nevertheless, it has become clear that chiefs endure and not merely as cultural ornaments; indeed, in Malawi and elsewhere, they are still the main conduits for communication between the central state and the grassro…

Crisis and Kuthana Politics
Rochester Studies in African History and the Diaspora
Inspired by the events leading up to the overthrow of Doctor Hastings Kamuzu Banda's Life Presidency, this book explores the deep logic of Malawi's political culture as it emerged in the colonial and early post-colonial periods. It draws on archival sources from three continents and oral testimonies gathered over a ten-year period provided by those who lived these events. Power narrates how anti-colonial protest was made relevant to the African m…

New Writing on Old Topics
New Writing on Old Topics
Much water has flowed under the bridge in Malawi since Cynthia Crosby produced the first and second editions of the Historical Dictionary of Malawi in 1980 and 1993 respectively. In the early 1990s, the Malawi Congress Party's stranglehold on intellectual and everyday life began to falter. As the party's political monopoly was challenged, so too was its capacity to privilege some histories over others. This change is reflected in the third editio…
Building Relevance
The years from 1953 to 1956 have been characterised by historians as a period in which the Nyasaland African Congress was moribund. Having failed to stop the imposition of the white-settler backed Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland, the party divided over whether or not to send representatives to sit in the Federal Parliament in Salisbury and its unity disintegrated. Some radicals even opted to leave and form opposition parties. While this depr…
Hastings Banda and Cold War Politics in Malawi
In 1983 John Flint challenged the notion that African nationalist leaders were often little more than ‘compradors’ chosen by departing colonizers for their capacity to perpetuate neocolonial relationships after political independence. He rejected this caricature, arguing instead that while the British might have wanted such allies, these were neither easily found, controlled, nor indeed, always acceptable to the majority population they were to r…

Individualism is the antithesis of indirect rule
The introduction of cooperatives and indirect rule to colonial Malawi during the 1930s was part of an exercise in imperial social engineering designed to thwart class formation. As early as the Chilembwe rising of 1915, officials had drawn the connection between petit bourgeois frustration and violence. In 1915, the state's response was to strengthen ‘tribal authority’ in rebel districts, leaving the petit bourgeoisie in the political wilderness.…
