India's most valued and revered gift not only to Herself but also to the entire humanity is its profound and timeless heritage. It is for this reason the Indian heritage is to be properly grasped, understood, documented and apprehended and made accessible to widespread audience. However, this task is not easy. In Indian context, concept of heritage is explained in detail taking into account the...

This study tested the hypothesis that heritage speakers of a minority language, due to their childhood experience with two languages, would outperform late learners in producing contrast: language-internal phonological contrast, as well as cross-linguistic phonetic contrast between similar, yet acoustically distinct, categories of different languages. To this end, production of Mandarin and Eng...

Recently, language acquisition research from the generative paradigm has turned its attention to investigating heritage language bilingualism in the hopes that studying the adult competence outcomes of these childhood bilinguals can inform key issues pertaining to bilingual acquisition more generally as well as issues relating to L1 attrition and adult L2 acquisition theorizing (see Montrul 200...

Dirk H. R. Spennemann is Associate Professor of Cultural Heritage Studies at the Institute of Land, Water and Society, Charles Sturt University, Australia. Abstract: Cultural heritage management is, in essence, a facet of social engineering, whereby physical remains of the past (and present) are selectively preserved based on values currently held by the population at large. Indeed, midand long...

Existing metadata schemes and content management systems used by museums focus on describing the heritage objects that the museum holds in its collection. These are used to manage and describe individual heritage objects according to properties such as artist, date and preservation requirements. Curatorial narratives, such as physical or online exhibitions tell a story that spans across heritag...

In this paper we introduce the concept of a performative sharing framework to promote the regeneration of heritage sites. We discuss our reasoning for the use of such technologies in this context, considering the opportunities for exciting new interactions and experiences. Throughout the paper, we make reference to the Hafod-Morfa Copperworks– the heritage site where this framework is to be dep...

It is common in tourism and leisure literature to define and approach tourism subgroups in terms of the presence of the tourists in certain spaces. This approach is challenged in the present paper. It is argued that the understanding of heritage tourism should be based on the link between the individual and the space, namely tourist perceptions of a site relative to their own heritage. Based on...

The modern use of ancient heritage sites can be, to say the least, challenging from an acoustical perspective. In fact, modern needs may require acoustical interventions in contrast with the preservation issues of the cultural heritage. This paper deals with this topic in an UNESCO designated world heritage site, the Palatine Chapel of the Royal Palace in Caserta, Italy. Since this chapel is cu...
