Linguistic Field Methods approaches the elicitation of linguistic data from native speaker informants in a novel and engaging manner. The authors follow introductory chapters surveying the general enterprise of field research with chapters exploring methods of eliciting data in eight major areas of current linguistic interest: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics and dialectology, and historical linguistics. Bert Vaux teaches phonology and morphology at the University of Cambridge. Though much of his fieldwork focuses on endangered dialects of Armenian, he has also conducted field research on Abkhaz, Aramaic, Calypso, Cape Verdean Creole, many dialects of English, Ghanaian Pidgin English, Gujarati, Krio, Lak, Singlish, Tigrinya, Tok Pisin, Turkish, Uyghur, Yakut, and Zaza. Justin Cooper studied linguistics at Dartmouth and Harvard. He is presently a lawyer at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP. Emily Tucker studied linguistics at Harvard and UCLA, and is currently a graduate student in computer science at the Oregon Graduate Center.

Slavery in America

Slavery in America

Bert Wilberforce

Cavendish Square Publishing
2023
sidottu
Some studies of early America highlight events such as the first Thanksgiving and the establishment of different colonies. But true historians realize that American history is tightly bound to the history of enslavement in the Americas. This carefully researched volume presents the difficult topic of American slavery sensitively yet comprehensively. Readers will learn about the European slave trade and how and why it expanded to the American colonies. They'll also learn how slavery repeatedly threatened to tear the nation apart for decades before the Civil War.

When the Lollies Bloom continues the stories of travel and love begun in Bert Bartz's Idiotsynchrasies. While telling other women stories of her journeys and about the travellers she meets along the way, Bartz's nameless narrator finds her attention wandering to past loves and recent romantic encounters. There's Mr. Greysuit, the accomplished and sophisticated older man she finds enticing, so much so that she's all but forgotten about her alluring and sensual Mr. T. At least, she forgets about him unless he's present in all his seductive glory. Two loves might be more than enough, but she's not bounded by limitations. There's also the Boy, a man by age but not by experience. He's young, eager, and a constant temptation. The three men are an ever-present distraction as she moves through corporate America, a world she once loved but is now disillusioned. How will she continue in the outdated corporate culture while still operating on amusing practices of nonsense? She's more than ready for a change. Mr. Greysuit, Mr. T, and the Boy. One of them might be able to convince her to abandon corporate life for a new world, but which one? And equally important, how can she possibly choose? All three are loving, sensual, and worthy in their own way.

Open Hearth: An American Saga of 20th Century Steel Workers and Steel making

Open Hearth: An American Saga of 20th Century Steel Workers and Steel making

Bert Nemcik

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2015
nidottu
Open Hearth is a saga of 20th Century steel workers and steel making as seen through the eyes of John "Shadow" Kordetski who lies in his bed dying of lung cancer. As the last five hours of his existence slowly pass, he remembers the important moments in his life. His story is personal, but symbolizes the struggle of the American blue collar worker to rise to middle class status and then decline. Shadow's father dies leaving his five children to be cared for by his immigrant wife. He and his sisters work hard to make it through the Depression. When he gets into trouble with the law, he is sent to a CCC camp in Wyoming where he first experiences manhood. He quits school in the eighth grade and goes to work in the steel mill. He and his sisters save money, buy another home and move their mother out of a mill ghetto where they grew up. Shadow serves in WWII in the South Pacific, comes home, returns to work in the mill and marries Regina, his one and only love. They build their own home, raise three children and live the American Dream. Every major event in the 20th Century affects the Kordetski family in ways that define the experience of middle class America. Using a convention of past and present chapters to explore his story, what unfolds is a tale rich in the history of industrial America when men and women graduate from high school and still make a decent living, raise a family and pursue happiness in any way they choose. Open Hearth becomes an open heart of the American working class facing a transition into the digital age without any buffers to shield it from the onslaught of a new era. It depicts the merciless denial of the right of working people to share in the profit of the corporations now holding personhood status and implacable in their desire to maximize profits and minimize costs at the expense of working people.

Twilight of an Order

Gyantwachia, the Cornplanter, was a famous Seneca chief who lived during the time of the American Revolution. He fought with the French in the French and Indian War. As a result of his siding with the French, General George Washington dispatched troops to hold Cornplanter accountable for his choosing to support the enemy. A number of Seneca people were killed. When it came time to fight in the Revolutionary War, Cornplanter fought with Washington. After the war Cornplanter led negotiations with the United States and was a signatory of the Treaty of Fort Stanwix (1784). He helped gain Iroquois neutrality during the Northwest Indian War. In the post war years, he worked to learn more about European-American ways and invited Quakers to establish schools in Seneca territory. Disillusioned by his people's poor reaction to European-American society, he had the schools closed and followed his half-brother Handsome Lake's movement returning traditional Seneca way. The United States government granted him about 1500 acres of former Seneca territory in Pennsylvania in 1796 for "him and his heirs forever", which became known as the Cornplanter Tract. This land was flooded in 1965 by the Kinzua Dam and most of the remaining residents were relocated to the Allegany Reservation of the federally recognized Seneca Nation of New York. The setting for this novel is pre-revolutionary times when the Seneca travelled each spring to the Allegheny Mountains to await the return of the myriad passenger pigeons that migrated to the northern tier to roost. They celebrated spring by feasting on the pigeons and starting their new growing season in the land near the river. The pigeons were so plentiful they darkened the skies when in flight, but by 1912, the last bird died in captivity. In a little more than a century, settlers and other hunters killed so many birds they became extinct. The Native American world faced many changes and this was one of them. With the death of the pigeons, the influx of myriad settlers onto the land and the eventual destruction of the reservation, the Seneca people were reduced to living in a small part of southwest New York. This is a tragic tale of American history that must be told because it was a symbol of the reckless way we treated Native People in their own land. Perhaps by reading it, we can become more tolerant of other people in this land and around the world who do not share our belief in the principle of "Manifest Destiny".

Lincoln - A Tragedy in Five Acts

Lincoln - A Tragedy in Five Acts

Bert Nemcik

As this presidential campaign year begins to unfold, many of us who watch politics with a close eye and a sensitive ear wonder what happened to the real orators of the past. The president whose name comes to mind, most of all, is Abraham Lincoln. Even after 146 years since his death, there is no president that garners our respect, our admiration, our wonder and awe as Lincoln. Over the years, I spent a significant amount of time studying Lincoln. I considered writing a book about him. This endeavor seemed rather trite. How would another book contribute to a greater understanding of this unique American character? What I decided to do instead was craft a play about Lincoln, written in the Shakespearean model of a five-act tragedy. It is time to share this work with you, my readers. I believe you will find this a different way to view our 16th President. I hope you read the play and gain a new appreciation for this president, our political system, our history, our morals, values, and most of all, our people who are as complex as any people anywhere in the history of human kind. I would like to thank Mike Sample, owner of the Forest Press, and Editor, Kathy Patrick, for their encouragement, support and understanding.
