Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1998 NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON D.C. HALLOWELL DAVIS August 31, 1896–August 22, 1992 BY ROBERT GALAMBOS HEN HALLOWELL DAVIS began his experiments on the Wnervous system in 1922, the number of American neu- rophysiologists he might talk to—the neuroscientists of that day—could be counted almost literally on the fingers of one hand. When he died seventy years later there were more than 15,000 members of the Society for Neuroscience (U. S. A.), and he was universally recognized as the world’s leading authority on the ear and hearing. He owed this position in part to an uncanny knack for selecting exactly the right moment to begin working on a problem, and be- cause throughout his life he was simultaneously perform- ing a new experiment and writing up a finished one. These activities, plus his interactions with a small army of friends, students, and associates here and abroad took him to the top of his profession and kept him there. The first brainwaves seen on the American continent came out of his own head in 1933, recorded by his graduate stu- dents using equipment he had designed. At about the same time he was among the first anywhere to record animal cochlear potentials, human evoked brain potentials, and the activity of single nerve cells at work inside an animal brain. -

Emojis: a Grapholinguistic Approach
Emojis: A Grapholinguistic Approach Christa Dürscheid & Dimitrios Meletis Abstract. The present article stands at the interface of CMC research and grapholinguistics. After outlining which features are typical of the writing of pri vate text messages, the focus of the first part of the paper (Sections 2 and 3) lies on the use of emojis. Notably, emoji use is not—as is commonly done—analyzed under a pragmatic perspective, but grapholinguistically, at the graphetic and graphematic levels: emojis are conceptualized as visual shapes that may assume graphematic functions within a given writing system. In the second part (Sec tion 4), it is underlined that all variants of written digital communication (such as the use of emojis, but also all other characters) are made possible only due to the Unicode Consortium’s decisions; this, finally, is argued to have farreaching consequences for the future of writing. 1. Preliminary Remarks In this paper, the use of emojis will be considered within a frame work known in the Germanlanguage research area as “Schriftlinguis tik” (grapholinguistics). As will be demonstrated, this term is not equiv alent to the terms graphemics or graphematics. In a much broader sense, grapholinguistics entails different aspects of writing (among them re search on scripts and writing systems, the history of writing, orthogra phy, graphematics, the acquisition of reading and writing, text design and textimagerelations, and differences between the written and spo ken modalities of language) (cf. Dürscheid 2016).1 This paper’s main Christa Dürscheid Department of German Studies, University of Zurich Schönberggasse 9, 8001 Zürich, Switzerland [email protected] Dimitrios Meletis Department of Linguistics, University of Graz Merangasse 70/III, 8010 Graz, Austria [email protected] 1. -

An Introduction to Graphology: Definition, Theoretical Background and Levels of Analysis
AN INTRODUCTION TO GRAPHOLOGY: DEFINITION, THEORETICAL BACKGROUND AND LEVELS OF ANALYSIS EVA GÓMEZ-JIMÉNEZ Universidad de Granada [email protected] 71 1. Introduction Graphology is a linguistic level of analysis that comprises the study of graphic aspects of language1. This term was first brought into use in linguistic studies in the sixties by McIntosh (1961), who considered it an analogous mode to that of phonology. In his paper “Graphology and Meaning”, he declared he had used graphology “in a sense which is intended to answer, in the realm of written language, to that of ‘phonology’ in the realm of spoken language” (1961: 107). A few years later, Halliday, McIntosh and Strevens (1964: 50) broadened this concept when they connected it to spelling, punctuation and any other matter related to graphic resources in language. Other linguists such as Vachek (1973), Sampson (1985), Coulmas (1991, 1999) and Harris (1995) have also worked on graphology, paying close attention to the properties of alphabets and their evolution throughout history. The importance and status of graphology as a linguistic level of analysis is particularly prominent in stylistics and multimodality. Within stylistics, some scholars have studied how graphological deviation may affect meaning and produce aesthetic effects. Van Peer (1993), for instance, considered typographic foregrounding and its evolution as a poetic device, while Nänny (2001) checked the iconic properties of verses according to their length. Within multimodality, miscelánea: a journal of english and american studies 51 (2015): pp. 71-85 ISSN: 1137-6368 Eva Gómez-Jiménez and because of the recent relevance of images in communication, there is an attempt, currently, to integrate some graphological elements into the study of modes of communication. -

Aspects D'une Comparaison Sociolinguistique Entre Le Québec Et Les Antilles Françaises
URSULA REUTNER !"#$%&'#() +,-./'01.&/ Aspects d'une comparaison sociolinguistique entre le Québec et les Antilles françaises « Le joual, c'est-tu un créole ? » F c'est une question posée et niée par Henri Wittmann en 1973. 30 ans plus tard, la recherche et la discussion sur 21.34 d'une part et 5&)14% d'autre part ont avancé, mais la comparaison n'a pas été entreprise de nouveau de manière systématique. Pour cette raison, il ne nous semble pas dépourvu d'intért de reprendre le sujet. Bien que la conclusion dHenri Wittmann soit confirmée par nos remarques, les arguments qui nous amènent à tre d'accord avec son résultat final diffèrent considérablement. Dans cette contribution, nous voulons rompre avec certains préjugés qui fourmillent autour des mots 21.34 et 5&)14%, et nous montrerons que les points communs entre ces deux réalités linguistiques se situent moins au plan de la linguistique tout court qu'au plan de lidéolinguistique,1 un domaine longtemps négligé par la linguistique. Après une proposition de définir le joual du Québec et le créole des Antilles françaises2, notre comparaison du joual et du créole dégagera quelques aspects parallèles et divergents qui se manifestent dans l'emploi des deux mots en question. Pour ce qui est des analogies, nous tiendrons compte du rle des deux réalités linguistiques dans la situation de diglossie, de leur langue d'origine, ainsi que des sentiments idéolinguistiques comme particulièrement les jugements ambivalents, l'adoration, la stigmatisation, et le préjudice de la mixité. De mTme, nous regarderons les possibilités d'élargissement des termes pour décrire un type de société. -

Le Créole, C'est Du Français, Coudon! Henri Wittmann Syndicat Des Professeurs De L'université Du Québec À Trois-Rivières R
Revue québécoise de linguistique théorique et appliquée 3:2 (1983), 187-202 Le créole, c'est du français, coudon! Henri Wittmann Syndicat des professeurs de l'Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières Robert Fournier Université de Sherbrooke La substratomanie est une théorie spéculative du 19e siècle sur les relations entre les transferts d'appartenance linguistique d'une population et les changements introduits au cours du temps dans la structure même d'une langue. Elle a été conçue dans le but très précis de contester les thèses néogrammairiennes relatives à la régularité des changements et de trouver des contre-exemples aux principes de classification génétique des langues naturelles. Dans sa version forte, elle a donné naissance au mythe des langues génétiquement mixtes. La notion de langue mixte suppose un certain nombre de postulats qui, en fait, s'appuient tous sur l'observation que les adultes sont généralement incapables d'acquérir une langue seconde d'une facon parfaitement conforme au modèle, s'accommodant le plus souvent de l'utilisation du lexique de la langue seconde dans la structure syntaxique de la langue maternelle. La généralisation faite est de dire que, dans les transferts d'appartenance linguistique, les collectivités procèdent de la même façon que l'individu adulte et d'identifier l'adulte comme l'agent de "nativisation" d'une langue seconde. En qualifiant dans ce processus la langue disparue de "substrat" et la langue qui s'y est substituée de "superstrat", on arrive à concevoir un type de langue dont la composition reposerait sur deux sources phylogénétiquement distinctes, tout en satisfaisant à l'exigence d'être devenue la langue maternelle d'une population essentiellement unilingue.
