	The Otsa Festival of the Ekperi: Igbo age-grade masquerades on the west bank of the Niger? - African Arts - HighBeam ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The masquerades, their context, and the languages associated with them suggest a continuum of age-grade masking traditions from the east bank to the west bank of the Niger, and indicate greater complexity in the cultural background of the Ekperi and their neighbors than the orthodox history allows.
		The Igala capital at Idah faces the northern Edo settlement of Agenebode (Uwepa-Uwano) on the opposite bank, and what is now the Ekperi area is said to mark a point on the border between Edo and Igala authority prior to the Idah war of 1515 (Eboreime 1978:2).
		Until further research is carried out among the Igala, in Ibaji (the Igbo-Igala borderland), and among the northern Edo, we will be unable to do more than suggest that the northern Edo of Ekperi have drawn heavily upon the cultures of neighboring Igbo and Igala to augment a heritage from the Benin kingdom.

	Research (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		By focussing on a community of lesbian women, I intend to conduct an investigation of how their language use on a local level is constrained by wider ideologies of sex, gender, and sexuality.
		In very recent times, studies into language and sexuality have developed out of language and gender studies, and there is now a growing awareness that in the same way as gender roles are assigned from early childhood socialisation, so are concepts of normative sexual identity, namely an expected attraction to the opposite sex (heteronormativity).
		At undergraduate level, I was interested in the area of language and sexuality, and completed my BA dissertation (a sociolinguistic analysis of gay male usage of ideologically 'feminine' linguistic practices) within the Department of English Language and Linguistics at the University of Sheffield.
