Coordinator's Corner Stereotypes are often not complimentary.In the minority languages of the world there may be significant usefulness in being able to show the world that peculiar linguistic traits have a reason, but finding the reason can be a matter of chance recognition as one does analysis. Howard Law's article The Indians Do Say 0:0-Ugh provides an example, a linguistic analysis for what is ofter accepted as a popular caricature. There are a number of approaches to semantics, but until we are able to account for how speakers and hearers process speech we will not have an adequate explanation for how we get so much understanding from from so few words in an utterance.Relevance Theory is a psychological processing theory rather than a linguistic structure theory. Can it be applied to other than the analyst's own language? Regina Blass's describes what comes out when Relevance is applied to to particle analysis, one ..)f the live issues in language typology today. Dwight Day, with experience in professional dictionary work, in SIL undertook to publish a compilation of vernacular lexical-entries-with- glosses as something more than a word list. What does a professional dictionary project require, and even if one knew what the format was, would it be applicable for a bilingual dictionary?Dwight describes the rationale behind the features of a well known, scholarly dictionary as applied rigorously in the making of a Shipibo-Spanish bilingual dictionary. This issue's contribution to computer applications for linguists comes from Bryan Harmelink. Bryan mentioned that in leafing through the Microsoft WORD manual he noticed the chapter on tables and thought immediately about tables of content.In checking further he realizedthatthere were other interesting applicationsforthis powerful feature that would make working on linguistic documents easier, faster, and more enjoyable.If you use WORD or a different processor with similar capabilities, Bryan's experience might be useful to you.

    Puana 'Ia Me Ka 'Oko'a: a Comparative Analysis of Hawaiian

    Vol. 5 (2011), pp. 107-133 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ http://hdl.handle.net/10125/4494 Puana ‘Ia me ka ‘Oko‘a: A Comparative Analysis of Hawaiian Language Pronunciation as Spoken and Sung Joseph Keola Donaghy University of Hawai‘i at Hilo and University of Otago, New Zealand In this paper I argue that the differences between spoken Hawaiian and vocal perfor- mance of western-influenced “traditional” Hawaiian music are representative of the linguistic diversity found within the Hawaiian language. It contains a comparative analysis of Hawaiian Language Pronunciation as Spoken and Sung, using transcriptions of recorded examples by John Kameaaloha Almeida, a native speaker of the Hawaiian language and a prominent composer, singer, and instrumentalist. It will provide a pho- nemic analysis of notable and predictable variations heard in Hawaiian language vocal performances that are not heard in spoken Hawaiian. Further, it will show that rhythmic arrangement of morae over strong beats in the musical measure is largely analogous to accent in spoken Hawaiian, with some predictable exceptions. The paper also documents how, during his vocal performance, Almeida added three non-lexical vocables not heard in spoken Hawaiian. I argue that these characteristics and variation are indicative of the linguistic diversity found within the Hawaiian language and, as such, are worthy of the same attention and scholarly scrutiny as spoken Hawaiian. The second goal of this applied research is to present the results in a manner that is accessible to practitioners of Hawaiian language performance. 1. INTRODUCTION.1 One day during my time as an undergraduate student in the Hawaiian Studies program at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, I was listening to a record- ing of Rev.

Reconsidering the Isolating Protolanguage Hypothesis in the Evolution of Morphology1 JAÏMÉ DUBÉ Université de Montréal 1 Introduction Much recent work on the evolution of language assumes explicitly or implicitly that the original language was without morphology. Under this assumption, morphology is merely a consequence of language use: affixal morphology is the result of the agglutination of free words, and morphophonemic (MP) alternations arise through the morphologization of once regular phonological processes. This hypothesis is based on at least two questionable assumptions: first, that the methods and results of historical linguistics can provide a window on the evolution of language, and second, based on the claim that some languages have no morphology (the so-called isolating languages), that morphology is not a necessary part of language. The aim of this paper is to suggest that there is in fact no basis for what I will call the Isolating Proto-Language Hypothesis (henceforth IPH), either on historical or typological grounds, and that the evolution of morphology remains an interesting question.
  • An Empirical Test of the Agglutination Hypothesis1

    An Empirical Test of the Agglutination Hypothesis1

    An Empirical Test of the Agglutination Hypothesis1 Martin Haspelmath Abstract In this paper, I approach the agglutination-fusion distinction from an empirical point of view. Although the well-known morphological typology of languages (isolating, agglutinating, flexive/fusional, incorporating) has often been criticized as empty, the old idea that there are (predominantly) agglutinating and (predominantly) fusional languages in fact makes two implicit predictions. First, agglutination/fusion is characteristic of whole languages rather than individual con- structions; second, the various components of agglutination/fusion correlate with each other. The (unstated, but widely assumed) Agglutination Hypothesis can thus be formulated as follows: (i) First prediction: If a language is agglutinating/fusional in one area of its mor- phology (e.g. in nouns, or in the future tense), it shows the same type elsewhere. (ii) Second prediction: If a language is agglutinating/fusional with respect to one of the three agglutination parameters (a-c) (and perhaps others), it shows the same type with respect to the other two parameters: (a) separation/cumulation, (b) morpheme invariance/morpheme variability, (c) affix uniformity/affix sup- pletion. Ireportonastudyofthenominalandverbalinflectionalmorphologyofa reasonably balanced world-wide sample of 30 languages, applying a variety of measures for the agglutination parameters and determining whether they are cross- linguistically significant. The results do not confirm the validity of the Agglutination Hypothesis, and the current evidence suggests that “agglutination” is just one way of trying to capture the strangeness of non-Indo-European languages, which all look alike to Eurocentric eyes. M. Haspelmath Max-Planck-Institut fur¨ evolutionare¨ Anthropologie, Leipzig 1Earlier versions of this paper were presented at the 3rd conference of the Association for Linguistic Typology (Amsterdam 1999) and at the 9th International Morphology Meeting (Vienna 2000).

  • Phenomenology of Perception

    Phenomenology of Perception

    Copyrighted Material-Taylor & Francis Phenomenology of Perception Maurice Merleau-Ponty Copyrighted Material-Taylor & Francis Phenomenology of Perception First published in 1945, Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s monumental Phénoménologie de la perception signaled the arrival of a major new philosophical and intellectual voice in post-war Europe. Breaking with the prevailing picture of existentialism and phenom- enology at the time, it has become one of the landmark works of twentieth-century thought. This new translation, the first for over fifty years, makes this classic work of philosophy available to a new generation of readers. Phenomenology of Perception stands in the great phenomenological tradition of Hus- serl, Heidegger, and Sartre. Yet Merleau-Ponty’s contribution is decisive, as he brings this tradition and other philosophical predecessors, particularly Descartes and Kant, to confront a neglected dimension of our experience: the lived body and the phenom- enal world. Charting a bold course between the reductionism of science on the one hand and “intellectualism” on the other, Merleau-Ponty argues that we should regard the body not as a mere biological or physical unit, but as the body which structures one’s situation and experience within the world. Merleau-Ponty enriches his classic work with engaging studies of famous cases in the history of psychology and neurology as well as phenomena that continue to draw our attention, such as phantom limb syndrome, synesthesia, and hallucination. This new translation includes many helpful features such as the reintroduction of Mer- leau-Ponty’s discursive Table of Contents as subtitles into the body of the text, a com- prehensive Translator’s Introduction to its main themes, essential notes explaining key terms of translation, an extensive Index, and an important updating of Merleau-Ponty’s references to now available English translations.

    523 UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'llIBRARY "A TRUSTWORTHY HISTORICAL RECORD": THE LATERWRITING OF ABRAHAM FORNANDER, 1870-1887 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF EDUCATION IN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATIONS MAY 2004 By Pamela Haight Thesis Committee: Eileen Tamura, Chairperson Gay Garland Reed Vilsoni Hereniko ABSTRACT Using a post-colonial framework, this thesis examines the later research and writing ofAbraham Fornander. The paper addresses the politics, religion, and society that informed Fornander's research and writing, then focuses more closely on his book, An Account ofthe Polynesian Race and international response to it. Fornander's tenacity in promoting his Western worldview and his efforts to advance his career infused his writings and, in the end, served to overshadow existing indigenous language and culture, hastening deterioration ofboth. Utilizing correspondence, early writing for newspapers, and other archival information, the paper demonstrates his attempts to attain authentic status for himselfand his work. Though inconclusive in terms ofproving Fornander's complicity with colonialism, the thesis presents another viewing ofone man's work and begs a previously hidden discussion. 111 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 1 Purpose ofthe study 7 Methodology 10 Background to the study 13 Language and Colonization , 15 Representing Others 17 Collecting Cultures 21 19th Century Hawai'i 25 Abraham Fomander 30 Fomander's Newswriting 34 Fomander's Philological Research 50 Response to An Account ofthe Polynesian Race 61 Discussion and implications 75 Postscript 78 Appendix A: Letter from Rollin Daggett to Abraham Fomander 82 Appendix B: Letter from Abraham Fomander to Rollin Daggett.

    Maurice Merleau-Ponty: Phenomenology of Perception

    Phenomenology of Perception ‘In this text, the body-organism is linked to the world through a network of primal significations, which arise from the perception of things.’ Michel Foucault ‘We live in an age of tele-presence and virtual reality. The sciences of the mind are finally paying heed to the centrality of body and world. Everything around us drives home the intimacy of perception, action and thought. In this emerging nexus, the work of Merleau- Ponty has never been more timely, or had more to teach us ... The Phenomenology of Perception covers all the bases, from simple perception-action routines to the full Monty of conciousness, reason and the elusive self. Essential reading for anyone who cares about the embodied mind.’ Andy Clark, Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Cognitive Science Program, Indiana University Maurice Merleau-Ponty Phenomenology of Perception Translated by Colin Smith London and New York Phénomènologie de la perception published 1945 by Gallimard, Paris English edition first published 1962 by Routledge & Kegan Paul First published in Routledge Classics 2002 by Routledge 11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE 29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group This edition published in the Taylor and Francis e-Library, 2005. “To purchase your own copy of this or any of Taylor & Francis or Routledge’s collection of thousands of eBooks please go to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk.” © 1945 Editions Gallimard Translation © 1958 Routledge & Kegan Paul All rights reserved.

  • Using Morphemes from Agglutinative Languages Like Quechua and Finnish to Aid in Low-Resource Translation

    Using Morphemes from Agglutinative Languages Like Quechua and Finnish to Aid in Low-Resource Translation

    Using Morphemes from Agglutinative Languages like Quechua and Finnish to Aid in Low-Resource Translation John E. Ortega [email protected] Dept. de Llenguatges i Sistemes Informatics, Universitat d’Alacant, E-03071, Alacant, Spain Krishnan Pillaipakkamnatt [email protected] Department of Computer Science, Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY 11549, USA Abstract Quechua is a low-resource language spoken by nearly 9 million persons in South America (Hintz and Hintz, 2017). Yet, in recent times there are few published accounts of successful adaptations of machine translation systems for low-resource languages like Quechua. In some cases, machine translations from Quechua to Spanish are inadequate due to error in alignment. We attempt to improve previous alignment techniques by aligning two languages that are simi- lar due to agglutination: Quechua and Finnish. Our novel technique allows us to add rules that improve alignment for the prediction algorithm used in common machine translation systems. 1 Introduction The NP-complete problem of translating natural languages as they are spoken by humans to machine readable text is a complex problem; yet, is partially solvable due to the accuracy of machine language translations when compared to human translations (Kleinberg and Tardos, 2005). Statistical machine translation (SMT) systems such as Moses 1, require that an algo- rithm be combined with enough parallel corpora, text from distinct languages that can be com- pared sentence by sentence, to build phrase translation tables from language models. For many European languages, the translation task of bringing words together in a sequential sentence- by-sentence format for modeling, known as word alignment, is not hard due to the abundance of parallel corpora in large data sets such as Europarl 2.
