Abstract

A unique new insight into multilingual families, this book views multilingual childhoods from the point of the child and is based on over 50 interviews with adults who grew up in multilingual settings. The book charts their recollections of their childhoods and includes many different types of families, discusses many of the common issues that arise in multilingual families, and draws examples from all over the world. The book fills a significant gap in the literature and resources available to multilingual parents. It was researched and written by a self-help group of multilingual parents and thus the book remains very practical and gives clear and realistic advice to multilingual parents facing choices or dilemmas. However, because of its unique viewpoint, this book also includes much new material that will be of interest to researchers and students of bilingualism.

Abstract

In the study of word formation, the focus has often been on generating the form. In this book, the semantic aspect of the formation of new words is central. It is viewed from the perspectives of word formation rules and of lexicalization. Each chapter concentrates on a specific question about a theoretical concept or a word formation process in a particular language and adopts a theoretical framework that is appropriate to the study of this question. From general theoretical concepts of productivity and lexicalization, the focus moves to terminology, compounding, and derivation. The theoreti

Abstract

Tepary beans are heat and drought resistant relatives of common beans. This study was conducted to evaluate the role of rooting depht in drought resistance of tepary beans and common beans ; to determine the genetics of several traits in tepary-beans, especially lanceolate leaflet shape, a possible component of heat resistance ; and to attempt to transfer drought and heat resistance from tepary beans to common beans by interspecific hybridization. Field and pot trials were conducted to compare the rooting depht of common beans and tepary beans grown on stored soil moisture. Teparies always had longer roots than common bean when moisture and temperature stress was severe. This could be an important component of the greater drought resistance exhibited by teparies compared to common beans. Inheritance of leaf shape, flower color, number of seeds per pod and seed weight was investigated in crosses between one domesticated tepary (P. acutifolius A. Gray var. latifolius Freeman), P1321638, and two wild teparies (P. acutifolius var. tenuifolius A. Gray). Var. tenuifolius has lanceolate leaflets and is found in more xeric habitats than var. latifolius. Flower color was under single gene control with purple dominant to white. Leaf lenght, leaf width, and the ratio of leaf lenght to width were each controlled by no more than 3-4 genes of primarily additive effect. The mode of inheritance of the number of seeds per pod was unclear. Seed weight was controlled by a large number of genes, with both additive and dominance effects. Interspecific crosses were made between 14 lines of tepary beans and 16 lines of common beans to attempt to transfer drought esistance from teparies to common beans. Twenty-nine of the 39 mature F1 hybrid plants reared by embryo culture had either or both the common bean "Masterpiece", or tepary P1321638 as parent. Of 16 mature F1 genotypes, five produced BC1 and/or allotetraploid progeny. Field trials showed that some common bean BC1F2 and BC2F1 families outyielded common bean parental cultivars when subjected to drought and heat stress.

Abstract

Les objets techniques, leur manipulation, sont presque toujours renvoyés au masculin. Or, ce stéréotype n’est que partiellement vrai une fois que l’on s’est efforcé de mener une analyse fine des rapports entre genre et techniques, ambition de tous les auteurs de ce livre. Dans l’historiographie francophone, comme le lien entre genre et techniques a été rarement effectué, les principales questions à la croisée de ces deux thématiques doivent encore être étudiées et les réponses déjà apportées approfondies. Ainsi, l’étude du rapport entre les femmes et les techniques n’est qu’une première approche qui doit être étendue dans le cadre d’une problématique plus large tenant compte de tous les aspects du genre, notamment les questions liées à la masculinité. Ces aspects méritent d’ailleurs une attention toute particulière, dans le sens où l’enseignement technique contribue à la construction d’un certain type de masculinité, reproduisant, par exemple, des différences genrées à l’école et dans les milieux professionnels. Les différents textes rassemblés dans cet ouvrage permettent de s’interroger sur une thématique innovante. Si les travaux d’historiens dominent, le sujet abordé rend néanmoins nécessaire une approche pluridisciplinaire. La sociologie, la philosophie et l’anthropologie apportent donc également ici un éclairage sur les liens qui peuvent exister entre genre et techniques.
