Explores human rights (HR) doctrines that offer a particular definition of the family through the lens of feminist political theory by examining the current climate in which the call for HR of women is growing. In this context, HR concepts that affect women's concerns are sketched, the reigning conceptualization of family in international HR instruments is addressed, & the feminist response & its implications for women highlighted by Michel Foucault's theory of power, are discussed. The literature indicates that women are vulnerable to multiple oppressions in every aspect of their lives, including the public & private spheres, where the state often acts as the chief violator of human rights, & in the family, where institutions often ignore, minimize, or refuse to interfere with even the most egregious abuses within the home. Strategies adopted by women's rights advocates to respond to HR abuses, including the right-to-security approach & the right-to-nondiscrimination approach, are discussed. M. Greenberg

The field of statistics not only affects all areas of scientific activity, but also many other matters such as public policy. It is branching rapidly into so many different subjects that a series of handbooks is the only way of comprehensively presenting the various aspects of statistical methodology, applications, and recent developments. The Handbook of Statistics is a series of self-contained reference books. Each volume is devoted to a particular topic in statistics, with Volume 30 dealing with time series. The series is addressed to the entire community of statisticians and scientists i

In recent times, the study of heritage languages has rapidly grown as an area of enquiry. However, until now, less has been known about the sounds and sound systems of heritage languages. Bringing together researchers from around the globe, this volume is the first full, book-length treatment of the phonetics and phonology of heritage languages. Each chapter examines understudied bilingual dyads in a broad range of geographic and social contexts, and through a wide variety of methodological and theoretical orientations. A wide range of heritage language sound system issues are addressed: at the segmental level, production of vowels and various consonants, segmental perception, and the perception of written forms signalling phonological variation; and at the suprasegmental level, declarative and question intonation, stress, focus, and lexical tone. It is essential reading for academic researchers and students in heritage languages, bilingualism, phonetics and phonology, sociolinguistics, and language variation and change.
