Abstract This article discusses the reflexive relationship between language shift and identity in the case of Scottish Gaelic on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, demonstrating how (Fishman, Joshua A. 1991. Reversing language shift. Clevedon: Multilingual Matters.) concept of X versus Y as related to language is problematic in this particular context. The article posits that in many ways, the processes by which Gaelic has been alienated from a sense of Scottish identity at the macrolevel are reproduced at the microlevel and discusses the implications of this in terms of Family Language Policy (FLP). Using a nexus analysis approach, this article focuses on a second-generation member – referred to as “Seumas” (the children’s uncle) – of three generations of a Gaelic-speaking family and discusses how, although Seumas appears to see Gaelic as part of his identity in terms of “family” and “heritage”, other identity orientations often take precedence, ostensibly contributing to his high use of English. The article discusses the possible impact that Seumas’ linguistic practices have on the third generation, as well as the double-edged sword nature of using “identity” as a tool in language revitalisation.

Parents who had been placed in an orphanage as children rated the behaviour of all their children who were between the ages of 6–18 years on a children's behaviour survey instrument. All families were intact and the parents had not requested professional help for marital problems. A significant number of relationships were found between parental background variables and higher reported levels of conflict with siblings and with parents, dependent-unassertive behaviour, and undemandingness in the children. Although sampling difficulties preclude generalization, the results suggest that repercussion of events in the lives of the first and second generation that are usually pathogenic may be seen in the third generation, even when the second generation may not be grossly adversely affected. These events most frequently related to individual differences in the third generation in the area of undercontrol of aggression directed toward parents and siblings.

This review of the cephalosporin antibiotic family will appear in three parts. The first part will provide general information on the cephalosporins as a class, highlighting the history, chemistry, pharmacokinetics, toxicity, and the segregation of these agents into “generations.” The second segment will discuss the antimicrobial spectra of activity of the first- and second-generation agents, while the last article will focus on the third-generation and investigational cephalosporins under evaluation.Despite a confusing, and somewhat overwhelming array of cephalosporin antimicrobial agents presently available to the clinician, more are on the way. Since 1962 and the introduction of cephalothin, the first agent in this family, there has been a constant parade of new cephalosporins from various pharmaceutical manufacturers. Drug manufacturers are attempting to develop a more effective drug with attractive pharmacokinetic features and less toxicity by modifying the basic cephalosporin molecule.
