Download or read book Language Dispersal Beyond Farming written by Martine Robbeets and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some languages wither and die, while others prosper and spread? Around the turn of the millennium a number of archaeologists such as Colin Renfrew and Peter Bellwood made the controversial claim that many of the world’s major language families owe their dispersal to the adoption of agriculture by their early speakers. In this volume, their proposal is reassessed by linguists, investigating to what extent the economic dependence on plant cultivation really impacted language spread in various parts of the world. Special attention is paid to "tricky" language families such as Eskimo-Aleut, Quechua, Aymara, Bantu, Indo-European, Transeurasian, Turkic, Japano-Koreanic, Hmong-Mien and Trans-New Guinea, that cannot unequivocally be regarded as instances of Farming/Language Dispersal, even if subsistence played a role in their expansion.

Download or read book The Report Papua New Guinea 2015 written by Oxford Business Group and published by Oxford Business Group. This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Papua New Guinea hopes are high that real change is on its way; the country’s political, administrative, financial and technical leaders now have to find a way to ensure the most productive distribution and use of financial resources. Many international actors are watching closely to see how this young country negotiates its path. Papua New Guinea became a major exporter of gas in 2014 when the $19bn PNG liquefied natural gas (LNG) project was completed ahead of schedule and within budget, significantly increasing the size and strength of the economy. The year ahead is likely to see PNG benefit from the further development of its hydrocarbons sector, fuelling the growth of its economy as a whole. The LNG influx also poses challenges, however, in terms of ensuring inclusive growth and productive use of the new revenues. PNG takes pride in being a final frontier of natural and cultural development, but the task ahead is to protect the country’s heritage while becoming part of the global economy.

Book excerpt: "On every continent, in every nation, God is at work in and through the lives of believers. From the streets of Amsterdam to remote Pacific islands to the jungles of Ecuador and beyond, each international adventure that emerges is a dramatic episode that could be directed only by the hand of God. Engulfed in the darkness of Irian Jaya's Snow Mountains lived the Yali--canniblas who called themselves "lords of the earth." Yet in terror and bondage they served women-hating, child-despising gods, rendering fearful obedience to harsh edicts and even executing their children. Missionary Stan Dale dared to enter the domain of this Stone Age people, embarking on a fateful course that would swiftly bring him into bloody life-or-death conflict with the Yalis' "Kembu spirits and the complex religion they sustained. Only God could have brought about the stunning, unexpected result.
