THIS PUBLICATION IS AN ENGLISH EDITION OF A PASHTO GRAMMAR ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN RUSSIAN AND PUBLISHED AS AN APPENDIX TO P.B. ZUDIN'S "RUSSIAN-ENGLISH DICTIONARY" (MOSCOW, 1955). IT WAS INTENDED TO SERVE AS A INTRODUCTION TO THE GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURE OF THE LANGUAGE AND AS AN AID TO USERS OF THE DICTIONARY, RATHER THAN A DETAILED…

A WORD LIST OF SPOKEN RUSSIAN WAS COMPILED BASED ON AN ACTUAL COUNT OF 10,000 WORDS. THE WORDS WERE COMPOSED OF 50-WORD SAMPLES TAKEN FROM 200 ACTS OF 93 PLAYS PUBLISHED SINCE 1957. IT WAS FOUND THAT JUST 360 WORDS, FROM A TOTAL OF 2,380 WORDS TABULATED, REPRESENTED 73 PERCENT OF ALL OCCURRENCES. THE AUTHOR PREPARED SAMPLE DIALOGUES USING ONLY…

THIS PAPER DISCUSSES THE HINDI LANGUAGE SYNTAX OF PERFECTIVE PARTICIPIAL FORMS AS ADJECTIVES AND AS PARTICIPLES OF SEVERAL VARIETIES. THE FIRST PART OF THE REPORT DISTINGUISHES AND DESCRIBES EIGHT KINDS OF PARTICIPIAL USAGE AND SUGGESTS MORE GENERAL RULES FOR ANALYZING THESE USES. THE SECOND PART OFFERS A GENERATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE SAME DATA.…

Homographs are defined in this study as sets of word forms which are spelled alike but which have entirely or partially different meanings and which may have different syntactic functions (that is, they belong to more than one form class or to more than one subclass of a form class). This report deals with the classification and identification of…

Sociolinguistic variation in the copula system of Black English was studied in the light of the linguistic history of the dialect and universal constraints on possible grammars. An attempt was made to identify sociological factors which account for the fact that the grammar of American Black English does not exhibit evidence for a creole stage in…

Data from four recent language studies are examined to explore issues in concept-word relationships. Issues considered include: lexical development, bases of application, single-word functions, semantic domains, categorizing through naming, and concept matching as a model of word learning. (JMB)

Argues that inferring the intension (meaning) of children's words solely from the words' extension (referential scope) is problematic and describes two studies of the intension of children's words which involve a different approach. (JMB)

A method in two stages: (1) to associate the Russian word with an English word that sounds like the foreign word, (2) to form a mental image of the foreign word "interacting" with the English translation. (Author)

This study demonstrated that 1-year-olds were capable of engaging other people in communicative interaction, that they adopted their messages according to the demands of the listener and situation, and that they responded to the receiver's feedback. (SB)

Study investigated the processing of ambiguous words that varied in frequency of use of their multiple interpretations. Results indicate that, whereas lexical access is an autonomous process, selection of the appropriate interpretation is a post-lexical process that is influenced by frequency information and context. (MM)

Considers the use of picture-word and bilingualism research together to look for parallels at both the theoretical and empirical levels. Describes some of the criteria that have been used in both fields to infer common or separate codes and points out how conclusions based on the various criteria proposed can differ. (EKN)

Gives an analysis of the way in which Spanish speakers in rural New Mexico gain metacommunicative competence. Suggests that native metacommunicative routines provide a rich source of sociolinguistic and social-cultural data and that awareness of these repertoires can assist field workers in using interviews more appropriately and effectively. (EKN)

Traces etymological sources of English words to their Latin origins. (RL)

Conclusion of a three-part article. (RS)
