Because of this, a pedagogical system is developing for the study of Kabardian aimed at the education of school children. For adult learning, virtually no pedagogy has existed up to this point. Those who wish to learn the language must invent methods and techniques in consultation with linguists, philologists, and teachers…’]

[Abstract: While there has been much discussion in the literature on the phonemic inventory of Kabardian, there has been little work done exploring syllabification in this language. This paper aims to provide a preliminary account of syllable structure in Kabardian and show how this predicts the distribution of epenthetic schwa and consonant clustering. It will be shown that the distribution of a moraic coda is not only autonomous from the nucleus, but an obligatory component of the Kabardian syllable. This analysis uses an Optimality Theoretic framework to show that schwa epenthesis ensures the satisfaction of Proper Headedness and that the optimal syllable in Kabardian is a closed syllable.

  ‘Ambiguity in the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca: The Case of Kabarda’, paper presented at Third Annual Conference of Central Eurasian Studies Society, University of Wisconsin, 17-20 October 2002. ['The most important event to occur in western Eurasia in the second half of the eighteenth century, the Russian-Ottoman War of 1768-74 cast a shadow over European politics. In this paper I explore Russia's Caucasian policies in the early years of Catherine's reign leading up to the war. I attempt to show how these policies evolved in discussions between Catherine and her closest advisers in the capital, and how they were interpreted by Russian envoys in Constantinople and imperial administrators on the frontier. The paper examines Russia's intentions in Caucasia through the prism of debates concerning Russia's war aims, preparations for peace negotiations, and treaties that attempted to structure Caucasian political life in certain ways. Special attention is paid to the articles of the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca pertaining to matters Caucasian, which continue to vex historians of Russia and mar maps that mark the progress of Russian territorial expansion.']
