Covering, Kenji Yoshino

Faculty Articles

This article considers how the gay civil rights movement might enrich an American civil rights discourse predicated on the paradigm classifications of race and sex. It posits that gays may be able to contribute a more robust theory of the relationship between assimilation and discrimination, a theory which takes assimilation to be an effect of discrimination as well as an evasion from it. The article maintains that gays may be more attuned to the discriminatory aspects of assimilation because they are capable of assimilating in more ways than racial minorities or women. Either in fact or in the imagination of …

Chinese Special Languages And The Notion Of Headedness, Andrew R. Hippisley, David Cheng, Khurshid Ahmad

Linguistics Faculty Publications

New concepts require designation by new terms, typically created from already existing words by means of already existing word formation operations. The preference for operation depends on typological factors, with the consequence that a term in one language may differ structurally from its equivalent in another. We present a case study of computing terms of two typologically distinct languages, English and Chinese. We show that despite typological difference there is a pattern to the way in which English and Chinese terms correspond. We suggest this is partly due to a word formation constraint that applies irrespective of typological factors, namely …

The Huehuetenango Sprachbund And Mayan Language Standardization In Guatemala, Rusty Barrett

Linguistics Faculty Publications

This paper outlines the characteristics of a Sprachbund area in the Western Highlands of Guatemala, centered around the town of Huehuetenango. Mesoamerica as a whole forms a unique linguistic area (cf. Campbell 1977, Campbell, Kaufman, and Smith-Stark 1986). The languages of the Huehuetenango Sprachbund contain many of the features typical of the Mesoamerican area, including vigesimal number systems, possessive constructions of the form "her car the woman," the use of relational nouns, non-verb-final word orders, and devoicing of non-nasal sonorant coda consonants. The Huehuetenango area is unique, however, in that the languages of the region share several additional features found …

We analyze challenges to implementing ETD initiatives, including concerns about preservation, attitudes toward intellectual property, and the training challenges involved in deploying technology to present new research using media and …

The Sex Slave Trade: Biological Imperatives, Cultural Trends, And The Coming Empowerment Of Women, Helen Fisher

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

The sex slave trade has been in existence for at least two thousand years. This phenomenon derives from the brain mechanisms controlling the three primary brain circuits for human mating: lust, romantic attraction, and attachment. These brain mechanisms enable humans to control and direct their interest in sexual novelty: capable of both enabling and ending the predation which flourishes as the international sex slave trade.
