19 Aug 2009TL;DR: Identite et question des origines dans l'abandon d'enfants au Burkina Faso as discussed by the authors, nous tenterons d'eclairer les representations identitaires qui entourent ces enfants.
Abstract: Identite et question des origines dans l’abandon d’enfants au Burkina Faso A travers l’etude de situations d’abandon d’enfants « sans pere » ou nes de relations dites incestueuses au sein de la population moaga, nous tenterons d’eclairer les representations identitaires qui entourent ces enfants. La responsabilite qu’a une femme d’un enfant concu dans le cadre d’une relation prohibee semble se limiter a l’accouchement, tandis que l’homme se voit interdire l’acces a la paternite sociale. Les recits des meres d’enfants « sans pere » temoignent par ailleurs de leur impossibilite de conferer a l’enfant une autre identite que celle de bâtard. L’enfant abandonne est assimile, dans un imaginaire social relativement universel, a un enfant « trouve ». Ce theme de l’enfant prive d’attache favorise l’absence d’informations sur la filiation originelle de l’enfant. Or, les services sociaux connaissent, bien souvent, les motifs d’abandon et meme les noms des parents geniteurs, notamment parce que le consentement de la mere est exige pour realiser une adoption pleniere. Par ailleurs, si nombre de parents adoptants sont reticents a connaitre la parente d’origine des enfants, beaucoup valorisent le lieu d’origine de l’enfant, son appartenance ethnique ou nationale, une culture, traits sociaux envisages comme constituant les « racines » de l’enfant.

01 Jan 2015TL;DR: An unsupervised method for word segmentation is extended to include information about prosodic boundaries, and the results show that boundary information helps word segmentsation in both cases.
Abstract: It is well known that prosodic information is used by infants in early language acquisition. In particular, prosodic boundaries have been shown to help infants with sentence and wordlevel segmentation. In this study, we extend an unsupervised method for word segmentation to include information about prosodic boundaries. The boundary information used was either derived from oracle data (handannotated), or extracted automatically with a system that employs only acoustic cues for boundary detection. The approach was tested on two different languages, English and Japanese, and the results show that boundary information helps word segmentation in both cases. The performance gain obtained for two typologically distinct languages shows the robustness of prosodic information for word segmentation. Furthermore, the improvements are not limited to the use of oracle information, similar performances being obtained also with automatically extracted boundaries.

TL;DR: The cave of Garrincho, southeast of Piaui (Brazil), has yielded, associated with a rich Pleistocene fauna, three human remains displaying a very robust morphology as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The cave of Garrincho, southeast of Piaui (Brazil), has yielded, associated with a rich Pleistocene fauna, three human remains displaying a very robust morphology. Reliable 14 C dates for the level just above prove definitively the existence of Man before 10 ky BP in North Eastern Brazil.

TL;DR: In this paper, a third claim of welfare economics, stating that in closed-ended worlds, there is no trade-off between a government redistribution target and efficiency, is presented.
Abstract: Two traditional theorems of welfare economics posit a trade-off between a government redistribution targets and efficiency. We propose a third ‘claim’ of welfare economics, stating that in closed e...

01 Jan 1993TL;DR: This work explores how neonates perform discrimination and categorization tasks when presented with strings of units used in different languages, and asks how universal are the earliest patterns of perception, and how do they converge onto language specific units.
Abstract: In the course of language acquisition, one fundamental operation is the extraction of linguistically relevant units from the continuous speech signal. Prior to experience with a particular language, what kind of units is the initial perceptual system able to extract and represent? By exploring how neonates perform discrimination and categorization tasks when presented with strings of units used in different languages, we attempt to understand the nature of their primary speech representations. We ask how universal are the earliest patterns of perception, and how do they converge onto language specific units.
