South Africa’s first great labor leader was from Malawi—and that matters
A biography of Clements Kadalie, arguably the most important Black labor union leader in southern Africa in the first half of the 20th century, is surely cause to rejoice. Particularly for those in
Lead times in flux
Short-term changes in booking behaviors can significantly undermine naive forecasting methods in the travel and hospitality industry, especially during periods of global upheaval. Traditional metrics like average or median lead times capture only broad trends, often missing subtle yet impactful distributional shifts. In this study, we introduce a normalized L1 (Manhattan) distance to measure the full distributional divergence in Airbnb booking le…
Energy Never Dies
Ayana Contreras has written a remarkable book that historians of Illinois would benefit from reading even if it might stretch their notions of what counts as “history.” The title is the first tell that this book is something different. The second might be the cover design by Dustin J. Hubbart, featuring a Black woman and a child, both resplendent with large afros, taken from a 1972 advertisement for Afro Sheen, a popular hair product from the Chi…

Ben Fletcher et les IWW sur les quais de Philadelphie. Un modèle de syndicalisme interracial au début du 20e siècle
Aujourd’hui oublié, Ben Fletcher compte cependant parmi les plus importants syndicalistes et révolutionnaires africains-américains de l’histoire des États-Unis. Il contribua en 1913 à la création du Local 8 de l’Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), peut-être le syndicat le plus radical des États-Unis. Ce syndicat représentait une main-d’œuvre composée d’un tiers de Noirs, d’un tiers d’Irlando-Américains et d’un tiers d’immigrants européens. Fle…
Remembering the Durban Moment after fifty years
Can't Play in Peoria
In 1947, Peoria banned Paul Robeson from performing due to his leftist politics, the first American city to do so. The “Peoria Affair” signaled a key front in the newly emerging domestic Cold War that involved silencing the world’s most popular Black figure for advocating on behalf of racial equality, socialism, and unionism as well as against imperialism and fascism. Peoria’s canceling Robeson paved the way for the subsequent defeat of a radical…
The Typology of Applicative/Causative Marking in Tapus
This paper constitutes an initial examination of the applicative/causative suffix -ge in Tapus, a divergent traditional Minangkabau variety spoken in rural Western Sumatra. Our aim is to show that the similarities and divergences from Standard Indonesian of traditional rural varieties provides insight into the properties of “Indonesian-type” languages in general. The distribution of applicatives/causatives in Tapus is interesting for several reas…

The Development of Agent-demoting passives in Malayic
The di-passive in Malay/Indonesian and other Malayic languages is clearly a European-type agent demotion passive; the agent, nevertheless, unexpectedly exhibits grammatical properties which are cross-linguistically typical of arguments and unusual for adjuncts. We explain the unusual properties of di-passive agents by arguing for the analysis of the di-passive construction as deriving historically from a Philippine-type voice construction in whic…
Long‐Distance Anaphora
Cross‐linguistically, long‐distance reflexives do not form a unitary phenomenon but come in a variety of subtypes: as long‐distance bound anaphors, as pronominals, or as entities of an intermediate category. This chapter focuses on the first subtype and on Chinese and some other Asian languages: it describes the prominent syntactic and interpretive properties of long‐distance reflexives and addresses theoretical questions about their analysis and…
The Poetry of Kabbalah
This groundbreaking collection presents for the first time in English a substantial body of poetry that emerges directly from the sublime and often startling world of Jewish mysticism. Taking up Gershom Scholem’s call to plumb the “tremendous poetic potential” concealed in the Kabbalistic tradition, Peter Cole provides dazzling renderings of work composed on three continents over a period of some fifteen hundred years. In addition to the translat…

Hooks down! Anti-apartheid activism and solidarity among maritime unions in Australia and the United States
Our research compares and contrasts the transnational activism of maritime unions in Australia and the United States in what became the first and longest example of global solidarity in the post-World War II era – the anti-apartheid movement. Dockworkers, with a deep history of solidarity, occupied a strategic position to exert real influence on the South African state by refusing to unload South African cargo. We analyze the actions of the Water…

The Typology of Wh-Movement, Wh-Questions in Malay
This article investigates the complex facts of Malay wh-questions, and suggests a theory of how Malay wh-questions fit into the typology of wh-questions permitted by a Minimalist conception of Universal Grammar. The paper examines the principles that account for overt wh-movement, wh-in-situ and partial wh-movement in Malay. We argue that the apparent optionality seen in Malay reduces to whether, in the lexicon, a question word consists of an ope…
VP Raising in a VOS Language
Toba Batak displays a variety of properties that are typologically rare: (1) The predominant word order is V-O-S-IO and V-O-S-Adv. (2) Extraction of direct objects/passive agents (by relativization, etc.) is ungrammatical, but subjects, IOs, and adverbials can be extracted. (3) In Toba Batak anaphoric binding, the active subject binds the DO and active DOs can bind the IO, but, additionally, the "passive agent" can bind a passive subject. We argu…

The Acquisition of Subjecthood
This paper examines the process by which subject properties are acquired by noun phrases not previously having those properties. The evidence presented indicates that behavioral subject properties (like the ability of an NP to delete under EQUI) are acquired historically prior to subject coding properties (like nominative case-marking and control of verb agreement)

No Justice, No Ships Get Loaded
Using a comparative methodology, this essay examines how and why longshore workers in both the San Francisco Bay area and Durban demonstrate a robust sense of working-class internationalism and solidarity. Longshore workers are more inclined than most to see their immediate, local struggles in larger, even global, contexts. Literally for decades, workers in both ports used their power to advocate for racial justice at home and in solidarity with …

The Job Market for New Economists
This paper, written by the members of the American Economic Association (AEA) Ad Hoc Committee on the Job Market, provides an overview of the market for new Ph.D. economists. It describes the role of the AEA in the market and focuses in particular on two mechanisms adopted in recent years at the suggestion of our Committee. First, job market applicants now have a signaling service to send an expression of special interest to up to two employers p…

An Event-Based Account of -kan Constructions in Standard Indonesian
A widely held position in the literature on verbal meaning is that the lexical-semantic representation of verbsinvolvescomplex event structureswith semantic primitiveslike CAUSE and BECOME (e.g. Dowty 1979). A growing number of recent workson predicate decomposition have shown that there is a close correlation between the semantics of event structure and the syntax (e.g. Hale & Keyser 1993, Harley 1995, Travis 2000, van Hout 2000, Ramchand 2003, …
Auxiliary fronting in Peranakan Javanese
Peranakan Javanese (PNJ) is a relatively undescribed variety of Javanese spoken primarily by ethnic Chinese native speakers of Javanese in the city of Semarang in Central Java (Indonesia). PNJ makes a structural distinction between auxiliaries and main verbs. Auxiliaries are unique in that they undergo optional head movement to C. Not only do single auxiliaries move to C, as in familiar languages, but sequences of two or three auxiliaries can mov…

The Interface of Theory and Description
This article is concerned with the interaction of linguistic theory and linguistic description. It is shown that an independently needed extension of the Keenan-Comrie Accessibility Hierarchy to island structures predicts that an asymmetry in relativization strategies in Modern Hebrew (which, at first glance, would appear to be caused by constraints on NP accessibility), has in fact another explanation. A detailed examination of aspects of case-m…
An Adaptation of Group Dynamics Techniques to Foreign Language Teaching
The main emphasis in much foreign language teaching is on helping the learner approximate the phonetic, morphological, and syntactic patterns of the language by means of pattern practice and similar drills. Although this is useful and may, indeed, be necessary, it is not sufficient. There seems to be something other than accuracy of patterns which allows a speaker to make himself understood. The sine qua non for the development of communication s…

Indefiniteness and Anaphoricity
Grammarians working within the framework of semantically-based grammar have argued that syntactic representations are not arbitrary, but rather have their basis in semantics. In this paper it is further proposed that syntactic processes (rules and constraints) may have a semantic basis. Evidence is presented that the constraint against backward pronominalization with indefinite antecedents, which is found in a wide variety of languages, derives f…

Speech Acts
Both linguists and philosophers have, for a number of years, been interested in the concept of speech acts, first proposed by J. L. Austin; but each discipline has remained uniformed on the often parallel work of the other. This volume brings together linguistic and philosophical approaches to speech acts, in order to bring out agreements and disagreements. Many of the articles focus on the problem of indirect speech acts, or "conversational impl…

Long Distance Reflexives
This new volume serves to focus and clarify the debate surrounding long-distance reflexives by examining the role of syntax, semantics, and pragmatics/discourse in the use of long-distance reflexives in a variety of languages. Graduate students, upper class undergraduates, theoretical linguists, computational linguists, psycholinguists, and linguists at large will find this an important tool. Syntacticians, as well as specialists in language acqu…
