▼ The research first proposes a vocabulary learning technique: the word part technique, and then tests its effectiveness in aiding vocabulary learning and retention. The first part of the thesis centers around the idea that the knowledge of the first 2000 words language learners already possess may give them easier access to words of other frequency levels because the root parts of the low frequency new words share form and meaning similarities with the high frequency known words. The research addresses the issue at two stages: to quantify the information concerning the number of words able to be accessed through the analysis of the word roots, and to analyze the pedagogical usefulness of the accessible words. A Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the English Language (Klein, 1966) was used as the source to show the possible formal and meaning connections among words. All the words in the first 2000 word list were first looked up individually and all the cognates provided under each of these words were collected and placed under each of the high frequency words if they meet the requirement that their roots share more than one letter and/or more than one phoneme with the roots of the first 2000 known words. After the data was roughly gathered, three criteria were applied to filter the data, namely, the frequency criterion, the meaning criterion and form criterion. In applying the frequency criterion, words with frequency levels lower than the tenth thousand were removed from the data. In applying the meaning criterion, hints were given to show the semantic relations between the higher frequency words and the first 2000 thousand words. The hints were then rated on the scale for measuring meaning transparency. Words that were rated at level 5 on the scale were considered inaccessible; words that were rated at levels 1, 2a, 2b, 2c, and 3a were considered easy to access. In applying the form criterion, calculations were done for each semantically accessible word to show their phonological similarity and orthographic similarity in relation to the known word. The words whose phonological or orthographical similarity scores were larger than 0.5 were considered to be phonologically or orthographically easy to access. Finally the "find" function of Microsoft Word was used to check the data by picking up any words that might have been missed in the first round of data gathering. The above procedures resulted in 2156 word families that are able to be accessed through the meaning and form relations with the first 2000 words in their root parts. Among the 2156 word families, 739 can be accessed easily and are therefore more pedagogically useful and 259 can be accessed, but with difficulty. 21 pedagogically useful form constants were selected because they can give access to more unknown lower frequency words than other form constants. In the second part of the thesis, an experiment was conducted to test the effectiveness of the word part technique in comparison with the keyword technique and self-strategy learning. The results… Advisors/Committee Members: Nation, Paul, Bauer, Laurie.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is concerned primarily with the examination of obscene language as it functions in South African society. Specifically, this study aims to discern how young adults perceive obscene language and under which circumstances this type of language is deemed to be socially acceptable. From a theoretical perspective the study is conducted with a pragmatic framework, as the analysis of language use are considered within the context in which it is used. Additionally, it is founded upon the notion of communicative competence, which is understood as the speaker’s ability to use appropriate language in a given context to attain a particular objective. The participants who were engaged in the study were first language English speakers within an age range of 18 to 25. The procedure applied to collect data from the participants involved three stages. The first part entails the completion of a questionnaire in which participants are asked to rate a series of obscenities on a scale of 1 to 10. The second part of the data collection process included qualitative interviews. During the interviews the participants were exposed to hypothetical dialogues and were asked to respond to questions about the obscenities used in these scenarios. The third and final part of the data collection methodology involved a focus group in which they were asked to discuss the use of obscene language within a South Africa context. The results from the study revealed that male participants in this age group were more inclined to harness the use of obscenities as a form of social connection with others. The female participants in this group considered the release of overwhelming emotions as being the most powerful function of the use of obscenities. They regarded the alleviation of negative energy also as a primary function of the use of obscene language. Male participants again, considered the use of obscene language as being predominantly the creation of comedy and humour. The results from the study showed conclusively that the use of racist language is considered as being the most offensive type of obscenity that could be used by participants. The data revealed that most participants avoid the use of obscenities in the presence of their parents and elderly persons. It is evident that participants are aware of the existing differences between the various generations in terms of linguistic preferences.

▼ This applied research project has focussed on the sequence of compositional challenges faced when setting verse to music, its principal output a folio of settings of verse spanning thirteen centuries. For the sake of general accessibility, the texts selected were predominantly in English, with two sets in translation from the original Japanese and one in Latin. The works included in the folio are: a choral canzonet; a duet; four complete song cycles and extracts from a fifth; a cantata for solo voices, choir and chamber ensemble; and a piece for two solo voices and orchestra. To provide a broader compositional context, excerpts from two of the other works completed during the project are included in the folio: from a piano sonata, and from a new realisation of the Latin medieval church opera, The Play of Daniel. Three other instrumental pieces completed during the project are omitted from the folio. Experience as a singer, choral conductor, opera production and stage manager and long-time music and opera critic has inevitably informed my creative practice. In this Exegesis I identify some composers whose approaches to word-setting have consciously and no doubt unconsciously influenced my personal approach over the years, and consider ways in which specific works of several of them might have influenced some aspects of the pieces in the folio. In the core of the exegesis I consider two key works in the folio, documenting in varying detail the procedures employed in text selection and analysis, and subsequently in musical synthesis. But the overall creative process depends on unconscious art as much as conscious craft; in this contextualising document I consider the verse itself and the evanescent clouds of ideas and emotions that evidently drove the various poets, my personal responses, and the musical processes by which I set out to communicate these ideas and emotions to performers and audiences, balancing craft and art with the aim of illuminating the verse.

▼ This research studied the preparatory students’ lexical inferencing behavior in relation to levels of topic familiarity and its contribution to target words retention. Data were gathered using questionnaire, thinkaloud verbal protocol and vocabulary knowledge scale (VKS) from 83 grade 12 natural science students who were selected using multiple stage sampling technique from Hailemariam Mamo Preparatory School in Debreberhan. The result of this study revealed that for the two text types: “Importance of Water” and “Drainage Systems in Africa” combined, the students were more of successful than unsuccessful in their lexical inferencing attempts. The analysis on the two texts separately showed that the students’ lexical inferencing success varied on the two text types. It was also found out that 44% of the times the students failed in their attempts. Among these failures, majority were received by the target words (TWs) in the less familiar text. In general, the findings on lexical inferencing success are in consistent with interactivecompensatory model in that content familiarity compensates students’ linguistic gap. Besides, the participants mostly employed local clues to unlock the meanings of the TWs in the two texts combined. For the more familiar text the students tended to exploit the context at global level. As a result, they were integrators for TWs in this text. Successful clues demanded the students’ ability to integrate the information that came before and after the TWs. In addition, the result of this study revealed that the students mostly used ‘repeating’ strategies when the two texts combined. These strategies were found to be unsupportive for lexical inferencing success. A text-by-text analysis of the strategies showed that students’ lexical inferencing strategy use varied on the two text types. The contribution of the strategies for success fell into two categories: those which hardly varied on the two text types and those which varied on the two text types. Therefore, it is possible to hold a position that students’ behavior in lexical inferencing strategy use is partially consistent with interactive-compensatory model of reading. Moreover, the scores from VKS showed that the students’ level of TWs knowledge mainly attributed to vague knowledge of the form of the TWs. Besides, the students did better in productive retention, though in low level, for immediate test than they did for the delayed test. This may imply that the activated schema for the immediate test did not transfer into the long term memory. A text-by-text analysis within immediate and delayed tests separately came up with a result that the students’ scores for retention for immediate test was significantly higher for the TWs in the more familiar text compared to for the TWs in the less familiar text. In the final analysis, the researcher contended that lexical inferencing was more useful to facilitate on the spot interaction between the reader and the text than to contribute to lexical acquisition, but… Advisors/Committee Members: Girma Gezehagn (Ph.

▼ The thesis reports six experiments investigating word recognition and reading in Arabic. Experiment 1 looked at the word superiority effect in Arabic word recognition using brief presentations of stimuli (five-letter real words, pseudo-words, non-words, and inverted real words) in a Reicher-Wheeler task. The results of this experiment showed advantages for the recognition of words over pseudo-words and illegal non-words, and for pseudo-words over illegal non-words. Experiment 2 was a follow-up experiment that also examined the word superiority effect in Arabic by using the lexical decision task. In this experiment, participants viewed briefly presented real words and legal non-words, with the results showing that Arabic real words were recognised quicker and more accurately than non-words. Experiment 3 investigated the landing position effects for three, five, and seven letter words in Arabic using eye movements while reading. The results showed that the preferred viewing location (PVL) is at the right of centre of words in Arabic, similar to that for Hebrew. Experiment 4 re-examined the optimal viewing position in Arabic word recognition using five-letter Arabic words and non-words in a lexical decision task. The results showed that participants recognised words most quickly and most accurately when fixating inter-letter locations at the middle of words, indicating that the OVP for Arabic word recognition is at a word’s centre. Experiment 5 used the Reicher-Wheeler task and Experiment 6 used the lexical decision task to re-examine the claim that an anatomical division in the human fovea has consequences for word recognition. The findings revealed the superiority of the right visual field for words displayed outside the foveal and no asymmetries for words displayed within foveal vision. Thus far the research has made an important advance on our understanding of processes involved in Arabic word recognition by revealing that word superiority and pseudo-word superiority effects similar to those reported in Latinate languages are also observed in Arabic, and that the OVP effect in Arabic differs from that found in English. The reading results indicate that, similar to other languages, parafoveal word length information is used to guide saccade targeting in Arabic.

▼ Natural language processing tasks typically start with the basic unit of words, and then from words and their meanings a big picture is constructed about what the meanings of documents or other larger constructs are in terms of the topics discussed. Social media is very challenging for natural language processing because it challenges the notion of a word. Social media users regularly use words that are not in even the most comprehensive lexicons. These new words can be unknown named entities that have suddenly risen in prominence because of a current event, or they might be neologisms newly created to emphasize meaning or evade keyword filtering. Chinese social media is particularly challenging. The Chinese language poses challenges for natural language processing based on the unit of a word even for formal uses of the Chinese language, social media only makes word segmentation in Chinese even more difficult. Thus, even knowing what the boundaries of words are in a social media corpus is a difficult proposition. For these reasons, in this document I propose the Pointillism approach to natural language processing. In the pointillism approach, language is viewed as a time series, or sequence of points that represent the grams' usage over time. Time is an important aspect of the Pointillism approach. Detailed timing information, such as timestamps of when posts were posted, contain correlations based on human patterns and current events. This timing information provides the necessary context to build words and phrases out of trigrams and then group those words and phrases into topical clusters. Rather than words that have individual meanings, the basic unit of the pointillism approach is trigrams of characters. These grams take on meaning in aggregate when they appear together in a way that is correlated over time. I anticipate that the pointillism approach can perform well in a variety of natural language processing tasks for many different languages, but in this document my focus is on trend analysis for Chinese microblogging. Microblog posts have a timestamp of when posts were posted, that is accurate to the minute or second (though, in this dissertation, I bin posts by the hour). To show that trigrams supplemented with frequency information do collect scattered information into meaningful pieces, I first use the pointillism approach to extract phrases. I conducted experiments on 4-character idioms, a set of 500 phrases that are longer than 3 characters taken from the Chinese-language version of Wiktionary, and also on Weibo's hot keywords. My results show that when words and topics do have a meme-like trend, they can be reconstructed from only trigrams. For example, for 4-character idioms that appear at least 99 times in one day in my data, the unconstrained precision (that is, precision that allows for deviation from a lexicon when the result is just as correct as the lexicon version of the word or phrase) is 0.93. For longer words and phrases collected from Wiktionary, including neologisms, the unconstrained… Advisors/Committee Members: Crandall, Jedidiah, Saia, Jared, Luger, George, Wallach, Dan.

▼ This thesis explores the semantic and conceptual potential of the literary portmanteau word, with a view, more specifically, to examining the ways in which the term works to highlight questions of critical, ethical and disruptive activity. Formed from the combination of morphemes from two or more existing words (i.e., “human” + “document” = “humument”), the portmanteau word is a neologism that exists both within and beyond the frame of the authorised lexicon. Exploring this dynamic by way of three main areas of focus—“creating”, “mediating” and “activating”— this thesis adopts a thoroughgoing approach to portmanteau word functioning and logic, considering the term not only in relation to frame-stretching difference, semantic uncertainty and (potentially) mediative/ethical critical practice (as existing scholarship has tended mainly to do), but also with regard to the effortful and precarious activating of these concerns across different literary and geographical contexts. Up to now, academic work on the literary portmanteau word has generally considered the term in relation to two, largely non-overlapping sites of interest: Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass (1871) and James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake (1939)—a pair of texts that remain central here in developing a working theorization of the portmanteau (“creating”), and in the explication of a Wakean critical ethics (“mediating”). Through exploring different responses to both Carrollian and Joycean portmanteau words, the first of these focuses approaches the term in relation to the semantic and critical effects of frame-stretching difference, contingency and structural uncertainty. In the second, the possible mediative ethics of this uncertainty is considered with reference to the ethics of deconstruction and to an analysis of selected passages from the Wake. The extension in this thesis, though, into the writing of Édouard Glissant, Kamau Brathwaite and Ivan Vladislavić works to further interrogate and complicate this Carrollian-Joycean understanding of the portmanteau word, making it less (but still) a matter of structural uncertainty and mediative ethics, and more a question of effort, risk and resistance. With Glissant and Brathwaite, this “activating” of portmanteau uncertainty in the (post)colonial Caribbean translates in different ways into a form of hard-fought, aesthetic opacity, the effortful creation (and interpretation) of which requires an always precarious, (re)cyclical mediation between structure and difference, self and other. With Vladislavić, in (post)apartheid South Africa, this “activating” of the portmanteau expresses itself as a complicatedly material concern with the necessary folly (and urgency) of ethical (re)construction following the collapse of apartheid socio-political structures. It is the contention of this thesis, then, that it is through such contextual, mess-making, “activating” elaborations as these that we arrive at a richer, more resistant understanding of the portmanteau word (in both linguistic and conceptual terms),…

▼ Research on the alignment of F0 movements has shown that they align with the segmental string. This is the “segmental anchoring” hypothesis. In addition, research on the duration of segments at the edges of prosodic domains has shown that duration is a robust cue for the demarcation of prosodic levels, however, the exact operation of those cues under different conditions is still a matter of research. This paper addresses the question of how the alignment of F0 of prenuclear pitch accents and the duration of segments in Prosodic Words of Greek might interact, when produced under different prosodic boundary and lexical stress placements. We used Prosodic Words of the short “article + noun + clitic”, bearing an L*+H prenuclear pitch accent. From the results for the duration of the segments of the prosodic word we did not find support for mechanisms that have been found to operate on other languages, such as English and Dutch. The mechanisms examined were those of preboundary lengthening, polysyllabic shortening, accentual lengthening and articulatory strengthening. We found that the proclitic is shorter than the enclitic, which indicated a shortening of the proclitic. We also showed that the distance of the stress and pitch accent from the prosodic boundary causes a change on the duration of the segments of the noun of the prosodic word. That is, segments belonging to a word with stress further away from the boundary are longer than the ones with stress closer to the boundary. Regarding the alignment of F0 movements, we found that the Low tone aligns with the onset of the accented syllable, but is influenced by the existence of a word boundary. Surprisingly, we found that the H tone is not influenced by the existence of a prosodic boundary and aligns after the onset of the first postaccentual vowel, regardless of whether the clitic is a proclitic or an enclitic. Position of stress seemed to influence the alignment of the F0 movements as well, since when the pitch accent lay further away from the prosodic boundary there was more time for the rise from L to H to take place.

Translation helps spreading knowledge. The idea is that in translation, the communication of the meaning of a source-language text by means of an equivalent transferred in target-language text. Whereas interpreting undoubtedly antedates writing, translation began only after the appearance of written literature. Translation is the transmittal of written text from one language into another. Although the terms translation and interpretation are often used interchangeably, by strict definition, translation refers to the written language, and interpretation to the spoken word. Translation is the action of interpretation of the meaning of a text, and subsequent production of an equivalent text, that communicates the same message in another language. Translation Studies examines the art and craft of translation, i.e., what is translated, how it is translated, how it is received in the receptor language, and especially what is said so often to be lost in translation Translation Studies approaches literature from a new and dynamic perspective that changes the way we view literature, cultures, and each other. Translation destroys language walls and illuminates the gestures, assertions, and utterances of other nations. Translation heightens our sensitivity to the sensibilities of foreign cultures and customs. Translators always risk inappropriate spill-over of source-language idioms, homonymous words, polysemous words and usage into the target-language translation. On the other hand, spill-overs have imported useful source-language calques and loanwords that have enriched the target languages. Indeed, translators have helped substantially to shape the languages into which they have translated. The present work is an attempt to investigate the nature of polysemous words in the Urdu Fiction. It also aims at evaluating how these polysemous words of Urdu Fiction were treated when they were translated into the English Fiction.

▼ Embodied cognition theorists suggest that cognition is bodily based and that the brain developed due to interaction with the environment, and thus evolved to facilitate sensorimotor processing. As such, one goal of embodied cognition research is to determine how the interaction between the body and the environment affects the storage and processing of semantic information. Recent neuroimaging research has shown that the sensorimotor and premotor cortices are activated somatotopically when responding to action-related stimuli. In addition, behavioural research has provided evidence in support of the theory of embodied cognition, in that the sensorimotor properties of a stimulus have been shown to affect performance on language tasks. The goal of the current research was to provide a novel and comprehensive examination of the theory of embodied cognition through the combination of multiple experimental paradigms. Several functional magnetic resonance imaging and behavioural experiments on healthy participants were carried out, as well as a behavioural study of two individuals who have undergone either a left or right hemispherectomy. The results from the functional neuroimaging experiments demonstrated that there are common regions of activation between motor movements and semantic processing, whereby sensorimotor and premotor regions that are responsible for arm and leg motor movements are also recruited when responding to arm- and leg-related action semantic knowledge. Thus these results are consistent with the theory of embodied cognition, suggesting that the motor system is involved in the processing of action-related semantic information. The behavioural results were also consistent with previous research showing that pictures have privileged access to action-related semantic knowledge. Additionally, the behavioural results with hemispherectomy patients provided evidence regarding the necessity versus sufficiency of the left and right hemispheres when responding to arm- and leg-related semantic knowledge. Finally, given that words rated as higher in body-object interaction were responded to faster than words rated as lower in body-object interaction, these results show evidence that language processing is grounded in bodily interaction and sensorimotor processing. Together, the results further advance the theory of embodied cognition, and moreover, provide an in-depth analysis of how arm- and leg-related stimuli are processed dependent upon presentation format.

▼ Abstract Since the emergence of African literature in European languages in the 20th century the recurring theme of immigration has been based on the experience of the male author and developed through the creation of a male protagonist. This is especially true in francophone African literature. The experience of the female immigrant did not appear in African literature in French until very recently, even though women are at the center of current debates in France on the issue of immigration and there are more female immigrants than male, according to the French national statistics agency. Today, French critics of immigration from Africa claim that the women have too many children and their adolescents suffer from a high rate of delinquency. Some authorities in France have demanded that the women undergo DNA testing in order to determine the parentage of these children who are growing up in large families. Although female writers from francophone Africa began to appear on the literary scene in the last two decades, they are outnumbered by men and few focus on the theme of the immigrant woman. The contrast between the very limited presence of female immigrant characters in contemporary literature by francophone women writers and the centrality of women in the debate over immigration in France today raises a series of questions. Why is there such silence on immigration by females in African literature of French expression? In those works on the subject that have appeared in recent years, how is the experience of women immigrant characters different from that of men? How does the experience of women from North Africa differ from that of women from sub-Saharan Africa? Have the handful of female writers who do focus on the female immigrant experience created a distinct branch of literature on the theme of immigration? If so, what are the devices, subthemes, and motifs that distinguish the portrayal of immigration by women writers? Why is this emerging branch of literature so marginal not simply in the larger contexts of African literature and African literature in French, but most importantly literature by francophone African women writers? Drawing on postcolonial literary theory, I analyze five novels by francophone female writers from both North and Sub-Saharan Africa: Fawzia Zouari’s La deuxième épouse, Ferrudja Kessas’s Beur’s story, Calixthe Beyala’s L’homme qui m’offrait le ciel, Nathalie Etoke’s Un amour sans papiers, and Bessora’s 53 cm. these works convey the stories of different African women expatriate in France, in particular those of Beur or Harki descent, as well as those who are migrants or descended from migrants. This study reveals that the authors rely on a variety of devices to convey the sense of « otherness » that immigrants experience in France. Through the choice of characters who destroy the negative stereotypes of immigrants propagated by anti-immigrant segments of French society, through diverse styles often heavily charged with irony, and through narration that links the form of the… Advisors/Committee Members: Thomas Albert Hale, Dissertation Advisor/Co-Advisor, Thomas Albert Hale, Committee Chair/Co-Chair, Benedicte Marie Christine Monicat, Committee Member, Christine Clark Evans, Committee Member, Jennifer Boittin, Committee Member, Thomas Oliver Beebee, Committee Member, Ambroise Kom, Special Member.

Veiksmo pavadinimo konstrukcijos – būdingi šiuolaikinių technologijų, mokslo, teisės verslo ir daugelio kitų sričių kalbos bruožai. Šie žodžiai suteikia pavadinimą įvairiems procesams, procedūroms, metodams ir kt., todėl jie plačiai vartojami įvairiuose oficialiuose dokumentuose, ir būtent šie dokumentai dažnai apibūdinami kaip turintys bene daugiausia veiksmų pavadinimų konstrukcijų. Šiais laikais žmonės, kalbantys skirtingomis kalbomis, nuolat turi bendrauti, ir todėl dažnai atsiranda būtinybė versti oficialius dokumentus iš vienos kalbos į kitą. Taigi, pagrindinė keliama hipotezė, kad vertėjai, versdami oficialius dokumentus, vartoja tam tikrus žodžius, kurie apibrėžia skirtingus veiksmus, ir jie verčia šiuos žodžius pasitelkdami pačias produktyviausias priemones, t.y. produktyviausias priesagas anglų ir lietuvių kalbose, tuo tarpu kitas priesagas vartodami labai retai. Šio magistrinio darbo tema – „Veiksmo pavadinimo konstrukcijos dalykinio stiliaus tekstuose” (lyginamoji analizė). Nors praeityje daugelis mokslininkų tyrinėjo veiksmo pavadinimo konstrukcijas tiek anglų, tiek lietuvių kalboje, šios konstrukcijos dar nebuvo nagrinėjamos oficialiuose dokumentuose bei lyginamos tarpusavyje. Magistrinio darbo tikslas – atskleisti būdus, kaip yra sudaromi veiksmų pavadinimai, ir kaip jie yra verčiami anglų ir lietuvių kalbų dalykinio stiliaus tekstuose, atsižvelgiant tiek į jų formą, tiek į prasmę.

Action defining words are characteristic features of the modern language style of technology, science, law, business and many other fields. They create an individual subgroup of naming units in the vocabulary inventory. From the point of view of terminological use, action defining words may designate processes, procedures, methods, ways of processing materials and administration acts. Such words are widely used in different formal documents, and, therefore, the texts are characterized as having a great many of action defining words. Nowadays, as different language speakers regularly communicate, formal documents are facing the necessity to be translated from one language to another. Thus, the main hypothesis of the research is suggested by the fact that in formal texts translators use a determined set of words which define actions and consequently their translations often are performed in a particular manner: they use the most productive English and Lithuanian suffixes leaving aside other linguistic means. In other words, translators do not vary and choose the easiest ways how to express the action in the process of translating. Although there are many research studies carried out on the action defining words by the English and Lithuanian linguists, such as Quirk (1972), Holvoet (2006), Keinys (1999), Pakerys (2006), comparative investigations on the issue of the action defining words in English and Lithuanian are not widespread.

▼ This study compares the local level climate change effects between completely varying topographies particularly the central highland and central rift valley areas in terms of rain fall and temperature together with perceived climate change effects, environmental degradation emphasis to land use land cover dynamics and the coping mechanisms employed. After the application of different statistical analysis on the metrological data and classification of images of different years on the basis of predefined major land use land cover types correlated with climate change was made. The mean annual rain fall (RF) was 868.2mm and variability for years 1970-2005 reaches 22% at BWW (Basso- worena woreda). This was greater than ATJKW (Adami-TuluJido Kombolcha woreda) of 34% mean of 744.2mm. The variation of monthly maximum temperature CV% 16.2% at Debirebirhan was less than 20.9% at Ziway, apparently CV% of monthly minimum was 2.6% at Debirebirhan which is quite less than 10.95% at Ziway The rate of forest conversion between different land use land cover types during 1973-2005,was ranging - 553ha/yr(1973-86) to -1575ha/yr (1986-2005) at BWW and -753.3ha/yr (1986-2005) to 599ha/yr(1973-86) at ATKW and the increasing trend of agriculture expansion ranges +553ha/yr in (1973-86) to +693ha/yr in (1986-2005)at BWW which is quit greater than +651.9ha/yr in (1986-2005) to +458.2ha/yr in (1973-86) at ATJKW. The socio economic survey indicated that there was accelerated environmental degradation effect assessed in ATJKW than BWW recently. The coping mechanisms for the perceived climate change effect were practiced due attention only during the time of the event. Activities like off farm, nonfarm and lively hood diversification including unemployment induced migration were found to be importantly contributing to support the livelihood of the community under study. However these techniques of locally developed should be integrated with assisted coping mechanisms and should be employed in a well planned and effective way consistently to alleviate related climate change effects.
