Alcohol and cancer: risk perception and risk denial beliefs among the French general population
European Journal of Public Health, 2017Co-Authors: Aurélie Bocquier, Lisa Fressard, Pierre Verger, Stéphane Legleye, Patrick Peretti WatelAbstract:Background: Worldwide, millions of deaths each year are attributed to alcohol. We sought to examine French people’s beliefs about the risks of alcohol, their correlates, and their associations with alcohol use. Methods: Data came from the 2010 Barome` tre Cancer survey, a random cross-sectional telephone survey of the French general population (n = 3359 individuals aged 15–75 years). Using principal component analysis of seven beliefs about alcohol risks, we built two scores (one assessing risk denial based on self-confidence and the other risk Relativization). Two multiple linear regressions explored these scores’ socio-demographic and perceived information level correlates. Multiple logistic regressions tested the associations of these scores with daily drinking and with heavy episodic drinking (HED). Results: About 60% of the respondents acknowledged that alcohol increases the risk of cancer, and 89% felt well-informed about the risks of alcohol. Beliefs that may promote risk denial were frequent (e.g. 72% agreed that soda and hamburgers are as bad as alcohol for your health). Both risk denial and risk Relativization scores were higher among men, older respondents and those of low socioeconomic status. The probability of daily drinking increased with the risk Relativization score and that of HED with both scores. Conclusions: Beliefs that can help people to deny the cancer risks due to alcohol use are common in France and may exist in many other countries where alcoholic beverages have been an integral part of the culture. These results can be used to redesign public information campaigns about the risks of alcohol.

Relativization strategies and alignment in Thulung Rai
Cahiers de linguistique - Asie Orientale, 2017Co-Authors: Aimée LahaussoisAbstract:This article describes the Relativization strategies found in Thulung Rai (Eastern Nepal, Tibeto-Burman, Kiranti subgroup). The strategies make use of three morphemes: a finite nominalizer-m (along with allomorph-mim), and two participial markers,-pa and –ma, and have different distributions in terms of the arguments they can relativize upon. Of particular interest is the question of the distribution of strategies available for Relativization on subjects, and how these correlate with case marking and the person-based split ergative system found in Thulung

Relativization in Thulung Rai
2015Co-Authors: Aimée LahaussoisAbstract:Three morphemes are found in Relativization scenarios in Thulung Rai (Kiranti subgroup, Tibeto-Burman, Eastern Nepal): a finite nominalizer –m (along with allomorph –mim), and two participial markers, -pa and –ma,. The distribution of the morphemes for Relativization is according to semantico-syntactic role, but also involves tense. For Relativization on an S argument, we find both –m and –pa, with a tense-based preference of –pa for non-past events (ex. 1), and –m for past (ex. 2). (1) kruk-pa gupsy roar-ptcp tiger ‘the roaring tiger’ (2) on-ɖa-m myʦy run-3sg.pst-nmlz person ‘the person who ran’ For Relativization on an A argument, the only possible morpheme is –pa’ (ex. 3). (3) ma:ke khli-pa myʦy grains plant-ptcp person ‘the person planting grains (4) *ma:ke khli-jy-mim myʦy grains plant-3sg>3sg.npst-nmlz person ‘the person who is planting grains’ For Relativization on P, both –m (ex. 5) and –ma (ex. 6) are used, but –pa is blocked. (5) py-ɖy-m ʣam eat-3sg>3sg.pst-nmlz food ‘the eaten food’ (6) pe-m-ma ʣam eat-copy-pctp food ‘the eaten food’ It seems that, while –m is the primary morpheme used for Relativization (it occurs with finite verbs), with an allomorphic distribution between –m and –mim based on syllable length and tense, the fact that Relativization on A is not allowed with –m has promoted Relativization with participials as an alternate strategy. The result is a system of mixed strategies taking into account both the semantico-syntactic role of the relativized noun and the tense of the verb in the relative clause. This presentation describes the distribution which has been found through narrative materials and elicitation, and which is far more nuanced than had previously been described (Lahaussois 2003).

Nominalization, Relativization and genitivization in Thulung Rai
Proceedings of the 28th Annual Meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society special session, 2002Co-Authors: Aimée LahaussoisAbstract:This paper looks at the functional inter-relatedness of Relativization, nominalization and genitivization in Thulung Rai. It also compares the situation in Thulung with that in other Kiranti languages and examines to what extent the Standard Sino-Tibetan Nominalization Pattern (Bickel 1999) can be said to apply to these languages.
