Borrowing and its implications for Turkish phonology is examined, focusing on words with initial and final consonant clusters. A brief summary of the relevant portions of Turkish phonology is presented. A formulation of the rules of lateral conditioning and velar conditioning is shown to successfully account for almost all the relevant borrowing…

THE 17 ARTICLES AND SELECTIONS FROM BOOKS REPRINTED HERE WERE CHOSEN TO REPRESENT SCHOLARLY STUDIES IN JAPANESE LINGUISTICS PUBLISHED BETWEEN 1916 AND 1959. AS IN THE OTHER READERS OF THIS SERIES, THE SELECTIONS ARE PRINTED IN THE SAME FORMAT AS THEY WERE ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED, WITH A TABLE OF CONTENTS THAT LISTS THE TITLE AND BIBLIOGRAPHIC…

THE THESIS OF THIS REPORT IS THAT REDUNDANT PARTS OF A SENTENCE MAY EITHER BE OMITTED OR REPLACED BY NONSENSE WORDS WITHOUT LOSS OF COMPREHENSION. AND IF THE NONSENSE WORDS ARE IN A LANGUAGE FOREIGN TO THE READER, THEIR CONSISTENT USE SHOULD EVENTUALLY EQUATE THEM TO EQUIVALENTS IN THE READER'S LANGUAGE. GRAMMATICAL STRUCTURE WILL ALSO BE ACQUIRED…

ONE GROUP OF 16 SS (SUBJECTS) WAS GIVEN A RANDOMIZED LIST OF WORDS THAT CONTAINED EIGHT SERIES OF FOUR ASSOCIATIVELY RELATED NOUNS, WHILE ANOTHER GROUP OF 16 SS WAS GIVEN A RANDOMIZED LIST OF WORDS THAT CONTAINED EIGHT SERIES OF FOUR ASSOCIATIVELY UNRELATED NOUNS, AND THE TASK FOR BOTH GROUPS WAS TO WRITE A STORY THAT CONTAINED THE NOUNS FROM THE…

THIS REPORT DESCRIBES EXPERIMENTS DESIGNED TO SHOW WHETHER STRESS-TIMED AND SYLLABLE-TIMED LANGUAGES CAN BE DISTINGUISHED BY THEIR ACOUSTIC PROSODIES OF PITCH AND LOUDNESS ALONE AND WHETHER THE TRADITIONAL RHYTHMIC CLASSIFICATION OF LANGUAGES IS VALID. A PREVIOUS STUDY BY THE SAME AUTHOR IS DESCRIBED IN WHICH THE RHYTHMIC BEATS OF ENGLISH…

THIS OVERVIEW CHAPTER INTRODUCES THE FORTHCOMING "DEVELOPMENTS IN APPLIED PSYCHOLINGUISTICS RESEARCH," S. ROSENBERG AND J.H. KOPLIN, EDITORS, WHICH WILL BE PUBLISHED IN 1968 BY MACMILLAN COMPANY. IT WAS DESIGNED TO SERVE AN INTEGRATIVE FUNCTION--TO IDENTIFY SOME OF THE MAJOR IDEAS AND CONCERNS OF THE CONTRIBUTORS, TO IDENTIFY SOME OF THEIR…

IN EARLIER REPORTS IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT THERE ARE AT LEAST THREE DISTINCT MODES OF COMPREHENDING--INFERENCE, EMPATHY, AND INTUITION. IT WAS CONTENDED THAT THESE PROCESSES CAN BE SEPARATED, IDENTIFIED AND RENDERED RESEARCHABLE. THIS REPORT CONSIDERS THE POSSIBILITIES OF RESEARCH IN EMPATHY WHEN IT IS OPERATIONALIZED IN TERMS OF LANGUAGE…

IN EXPERIMENT 1, DEVELOPMENTAL CHANGES IN THE PROSODIC FEATURES OF INFANT VOCALIZING WERE STUDIED WITH NOVEL ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC TECHNIQUES. COMPLETE AND CONTINUOUS RECORDINGS OF ALL THE VOCALIZATIONS OF TWO INFANTS DURING THE FIRST FIVE MONTHS OF LIFE WERE COLLECTED AND SYSTEMATICALLY SAMPLED FOR ANALYSIS. COMPOSITE STATISTICS, DESCRIBING THE THREE…

VARIOUS ASPECTS OF THE PROGRESS OF AN EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAM IN SPEECH CONTROL WERE REPORTED. THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE DISCUSSIONS WERE (1) ACOUSTIC AND DISCRIMINATIVE PROPERTIES OF SPEECH SOUNDS, (2) MATCHING FUNCTIONS AND EQUAL-SENSATION CONTOURS FOR LOUDNESS, (3) RELATIONS BETWEEN IDENTIFICATION AND DISCRIMINATION FUNCTIONS FOR SPEECH AND…

REPORTED ARE ANALYSES OF THE WORKS OF FOUR CONTEMPORARY FRENCH AUTHORS (RENE MARILL ALBERES, YVES BONNEFOY, MICHEL BUTOR, AND JEAN BRULLER UNDER THE PSEUDONYM VERCORS). THE ANALYSES WERE PREPARED IN FRENCH BY THE INDIVIDUAL AUTHORS FOR THE FRENCH CULTURE RESEARCH PROJECT, A LANGUAGE RESEARCH EFFORT. THE STUDIES ILLUSTRATE THE AUTHORS' THEMES IN…

THIS PAPER PRESENTS THE SECOND PART OF A THREE-PART ARTICLE ON CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE LINGUISTIC STRUCTURE OF GANDA. THE SPECIFIC CONCERNS OF THIS PART ARE (1) THE TONOMORPHOLOGY OF NOUNS AND ADJECTIVES AND (2) BASIC SETS OF ABSOLUTE AND DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS. TONAL DECLENSIONS OF NOUNS AND PRONOUNS ARE PRESENTED ACCORDING TO CLASS, REPRESENTING…

The lexical development of four infants was recorded by their parents in diaries. In a selective imitation situation, individualized for each child, the responses of the children were compared with semantic predictions made on the basis of one of 14 hypothesized rules, and with the semantic alternatives available from the child's lexicon. It was…

Children aged 2, 6, and 9 years old were presented with four sets of differing objects and were asked to tell the experimenter which object out of each set they liked best. It was discovered that, as children grow older, pointing becomes rarer and linguistic descriptions become more appropriate. In two further experiments, the distance between…

THIS PAPER CONSIDERS SEVERAL TYPES OF ENGLISH SENTENCES WHICH ARE UTTERED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ELICITING A LINGUISTIC RESPONSE FROM THE HEARER AND WHICH, ON THAT BASIS, CAN BE CLASSED AS QUESTIONS. A SEMANTIC UNIT "PLUS INTERROGATIVE", WHOSE MEANING IS THAT THE SPEAKER REQUESTS NEW INFORMATION FROM THE HEARER, IS SEEN TO PLAY A ROLE IN MORE THAN ONE…

IN THIS ARTICLE THE AUTHOR GIVES AN OVERVIEW OF DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FIELD OF PSYCHOLINGUISTICS DURING THE PERIOD FOLLOWING THE PUBLICATION OF VOLUME 34, NUMBER 2 OF "REVIEW OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH" IN APRIL 1964. DISCUSSED ARE (1) LEARNING AND NATIVISTIC THEORIES OF LANGUAGE ACQUISITION, (2) EMPIRICAL FINDINGS IN DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLINGUISTICS,…
