The present edition was comPiled in responSe to a consensus reached at the Kittamaqundi Conference en the' Uncommonly-Taught _Languages convened by the U.S. Office of Education in Columbia,-Maryland September 29 - October 2, 1974;*Area specialists participating in the conference felt that the quantity of materials published' in all areas since the appearance of the 1969 survey warranted a complete update of that edition. The current survey is being published in eight faseicles, utilizing the aame arrange- ment of languages and language groups as thc earlier one within the following divisions Western Europe/Pidgins and Creoles (European-based); Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union; The Middle East and North Africa; South Asia; Eastern Asig; Sub-Saharan,Africa; Southeast Asia and the Pacific; North, Central and South America. ,The priMary emphasis continues to be 011 materials designed for use by the adult learner whose native language is English, although some materials of interest mainly to the teacher,,the specialist and/or the textbook writer have been incorporated. Under grammars, texts have been added which require knowledge of-medern linguisticterminology. Books in print and available cotmercially are included, as. well as these out of print, forthcoming or of limited accessibility. On the other hand, some of the publications of limited accessibility appearing in the 1969 survey have been dropped, especiallY when they have been sUperseded by later publications which are more readily available. In the case of languages for which there appear to be no adequate or:recent texts in English, entries include older books, technical studies, and books in foreign languages. For languages not appearing in_the former survey, both recent works and Older textbooks have been included,to givea-tore,comprehensive overView of information available. Pre- 190 bilingual dictionaries are listed when they apparently constitute the sole or major source for the language4 or whenthey have appeared as reprints. The:present surVey, is:the result of:contributions from manyindividuals. ,Dr.David DeCamp, the Center'S Associate Director fon international Programs and Professor of Lin- ' guistics, English and Education at the University of Texas, served as project director until June 30, 1976, at which time Dr. Anthony Robson assumed this responsibility as head of the Center's'International Programs., Generous assistance was given by our colleagues at the Center, especially Begay . *Papers presented at this conference were,published by the Center fOr Applied Linguistics (Material Devolo- ent Needs in the_ Unco 1 --u ht Lang11!.ges: Priorities for the Seventies,, 1975), 5 Atkinson, Publications Director, and Diane Bartosh of the publications staff; Alice Eppink, Librarian; and members of the staff of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Languages and Linguistics.. We also wish to express our gratitude to those scholars who reviewed -our' preliminary draft and made manY valuable suggestions Their names are listed in the appropriate fascicles. Thanks are also due the Library of Congress, including many.staff members in the specialized reference sections-of the Library. The Library allowed us access to its stacks, which great1Tfacilitated our work. Our very special thanks go to Wilma ChaR_, Jean Lewis and Sonia Kundert, who _yped the manuscript for publication. At the end of each fascicle we are providing our readers with a -form which we hone they will use to send us information about published or forthcoming basic tools of access which have not come to our attention and which may be included in a later editien of this collection.

Hanks Eliabeth Kimmell Dorothy Rapp iv Introduction Some of th languages which appeared in the provisional edition of this survey (1969) under the Middle East section -- e.g., Armenian, Azerbaijani, Laz, and Ossetic -- have been transferred in the present edition to the fascicle dealing with Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. This shift has been made because speakers of these languages previously concentrated in the Middle East have been increasingly dispersed thrOughout the world, and .the only speakers still clu tered in sizable groups reside chiefly within the borders of the Soviet Union. Alth _.gh some consideration was given to placing Baluchi and Pashto in the South Asia fascicle, the traditional approach has been folloWed, and these two languages cohtinue to appear in this volume. Because many Arabic boOks have been reprinted during the'last five years, reprints af .older standard grammars and dictionaries in Classical Arabic, as well as those

    This page intentionally left blank The Cambridge Handbook of Phonology Phonology – the study of how the sounds of speech are represented in our minds – is one of the core areas of linguistic theory, and is central to the study of human language. This state-of-the-art handbook brings together the world’s leading experts in phonology to present the most comprehensive and detailed overview of the field to date. Focusing on the most recent research and the most influential theories, the authors discuss each of the central issues in phonological theory, explore a variety of empirical phenomena, and show how phonology interacts with other aspects of language such as syntax, morph- ology, phonetics, and language acquisition. Providing a one-stop guide to every aspect of this important field, The Cambridge Handbook of Phonology will serve as an invaluable source of readings for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, an informative overview for linguists, and a useful starting point for anyone beginning phonological research.

  • On the Case System of Kabyle*
    On the Case System of Kabyle* Lydia Felice Georgetown University SUMMARY This paper examines the state alternation in Kabyle, arguing that state is the morphological realization of Case. The free state is accusative case, and the construct state is nominative case. Taking morphological patterns and syntactic distribution into account, Kabyle is found to be a Type 2 marked nominative language. Both states, or cases, are morphologically marked. The free state is the default case. This analysis accounts for the bulk of the distribution of free state and construct state nouns, and situates Kabyle as belonging to a typologically rare alignment system that is concentrated in Afroasiatic and African languages. RÉSUMÉ Cet article examine l’alternance d’état en kabyle, en faisant valoir que l’état est la réalisation morphologique de cas. L’état libre est un cas accusatif, et l’état d’annexion est un cas nominatif. Compte tenu des patrons morphologiques et de la distribution syntaxique, le kabyle s’avère être une langue à nominatif marqué de Type 2 où les deux états, ou bien les cas, sont marqués morphologiquement et que l’état libre est le cas par défaut. Cette analyse représente la majeure partie de la distribution des noms d’état libre et d’état d’annexion et situe le kabyle comme appartenant à un système d’alignement typologiquement rare et concentré dans les langues afro-asiatiques et africaines. * Thank you to Karima Ouazar for her patience and generosity in teaching me about her language. Thank you to Jessica Coon and Ruth Kramer for guidance throughout this project, as well as Lisa Travis, Hector Campos, and audiences at NACAL 46 and WOCAL 9 for valuable feedback.

  • 29. Semitic Influence in Celtic? Yes and No *1
    29. Semitic influence in Celtic? Yes and No *1 Abstract Filppula (1999) explains the sparing use of Yes and No made in Irish English as a result of language contact: Irish lacks words for 'Yes' and 'No' and substitutes what Filppula calls the Modal-only type of answer instead. This usage is carried by Irish learners of English from their native language into the target language. In my paper on Yes and No in the history of English (Vennemann 2009a), I explain the rela­ tively sparing use the English make of Yes and No and the use instead of the Mo­ dal-only type of short answer [(Yes,) I will, (No,) I can't, etc. I likewise as a contact feature: Brittonic speakers learning Anglo-Saxon earned their usage essentially the same as in Irish from their native language into the target language. In the present paper I deal with the question which is prompted by this explanation: How did Insular Celtic itself develop this method of answering Yes/No-questions with Modal-only sentences? The best answer to this question would be one which uses the same model, namely reference to substrata in this case, pre-Celtic substrata - of the Isles. Fortunately there exists a theory of such substrata: the Hamito-Semitic theory of John Morris Jones (1900) and Julius Pokorny (1927-30). Accounting for the Insular Celtic response system in terms of these substrata would yield another instance of what I have called the transitivity of language contact in Vennemann 2002d and illustrated with the loss of external possessors in Vennemann 2002c.

In the verbal system, this similarity appears namely in the central role played by aspectual meaning, in both synchrony and diachrony, even though important changes have taken place over these languages’ long history.2 In Hamito-Semitic, there are usually few distinctions marked within the verbal system, however it is unlikely that there are verbal systems which mark only the perfective vs.

  • V ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I Doubt I Can Properly Express My Gratitude
    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I doubt I can properly express my gratitude to my committee. I owe so much to them. John McCarthy has been an incredible source of inspiration and encouragement. His help and patience have been greatly appreciated and will not be forgotten. Lisa Selkirk’s refrain “you must see the forest through the trees” has not only made this a better dissertation but it has also made me a better linguist. John Kingston provided insightful comments that have given me a different perspective to a number of parts in the dissertation and have led to some major revisions. Jim Cathey has also provided numerous helpful comments and suggestions. I thank them all so much for everything they have done. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the professors, especially Roger Higgins, who have made studying at U. Mass. a great experience. Many people have helped in different ways. I would like to thank François Dell and John Lynch for responding to my questions and I would like to thank Judith Broadbent for suggestions, comments, and a careful reading of the final version. I also cannot forget Kathy Adamczyk and Lynne Ballard for administrative help. Lastly, this dissertation was supported by doctoral fellowships (#452-90-0223 and #752-91-1569) from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada. I also thank the following phonologists who have listened to various ideas of mine of the years: Jill Beckman, Juli Carter, Elaine Dunlap, Amalia Gnanadesikan, Greg Lamontagne, Linda Lombardi, Joyce McDonough, Maire Ni Chiosain, Jaye Padgett, Tim Sherer, Alison Taub, Suzanne Urbanczyk, Laura Walsh, and with special thanks to Henrietta Hung and Beth Hume.

  • 1090 Book Reviews That Those Who Are More Experienced Will Not Find Anything of Use
    1090 Book reviews that those who are more experienced will not find anything of use. For example, most bilingual researchers would benefit from following more closely Deuchar and Quay’s example of focusing on the subject’s linguistic environment as a whole, thereby including all sources of input to a child rather than only those from the primary caregivers, as it reflects the true state of things for the developing child more accurately. In addition, both the arguments in support of the existence of a rudimentary syntax even at the two-word stage and those outlining the difficulties in determining the language (s) of any given utterance are quite convincing, giving many researchers reasonable cause to reevaluate data. Although their goal of discerning whether one system or two was at work in the areas of phonology, lexical development, and syntax was not conclusively met, it is strangely encouraging that despite such careful methodology and extensive data as theirs, this issue still remains unre­ solved. It is quite possibly a question that will not be answered definitively for quite some time (if ever). Indeed, it may be of better use to step outside of the framework that the ‘‘one system versus two’’ issue has imposed on the field, as it may be greatly oversimplifying things. The proposition that ‘‘the alternative to two initial systems is not necessarily one initial system; it may be no initial system’’ (p. 111) is quite tantalizing indeed, and with a book such as Bilingual Acquisition in hand, the stage is set to continue along some of the paths for which Deuchar and Quay have laid foundations.
