The tagmemic model was chosen for comparability with language systems already similarly analyzed , including Susumu Nagara 's dissertation on the 'Pidgin English of Japanese in Hawaii' (A Bilingual Ve� c�iption 06 Some Lingui� tic Featu�e� 06 Pidgin Engli� h U� ed by Japane� e Immig�ant� on the Plantation� 06 Hawaii : A Ca� e Study in Bilinguali�m, University of Wisconsin, 1969) . This description of Keaukaha English clause types is in accord with Kenneth L. Pike's recommended scheme as revised in 1967 in Languag e in Relation to a Uni6ied Theo�y 06 the St�uctu�e 06 Human Behavio�, incorporating filler classes ( 'internal distribut ion ' ) into his 'feature mode '. The number of speakers used in this research was twenty-three chil­ dren ( under twelve years of age ) and nine adults ( over twelve years of age ) . The recorded conversat ions provided more than three thousand extracted clauses, the data analyzed here . The recordings were made in the context of informal speech exchanges in homes, in a car, at the beach, at a restaurant , or in a motel, generally with two or more indi­ viduals from Keaukaha . The analysis repre sent s conversat ion which Keaukaha re sident s of different ages carried on with each other and with the researcher according to the ordinary shift ing of at tent ion and circumstances . It is assumed to be representat ive of a range of var­ ieties of English in use by the Keaukaha community in 1965-1966. It does not assume to be representat ive of a homogeneous style or dialect . The study first reviews the history of English in Hawaii , and of research regarding it . Then , through the use of tagmemic formulas and matrices ( or tables, for displaying facts in a compact way ) , three separate chapters present details of the 'feature mode ', 'distribut ion mode ', and 'manifestation mode ', respectively . ( These three 'modes ' characterize a unit by analytic definition according to specific ident- vi vii ifying features , by synthetic definition involving relationship s out side the entity originally in view, and by exemplification , which approaches the actual as far as it is symbolically possible .) The final chapter singles out eight features in Keaukaha English which speakers of some other dialects of English may either not use at all or not be conscious of using . These are (1) nominal predications, (2) optional subj ect , (3) optional obj ect , (4) frequent appositive s, and discontinuous appositives relat ed to permutations, (5 ) double nom­ inal phrase , (6) 'reverse ' nominal phrase , (7) peripheral fillers with­ out as well as with prepositions, and (8) distinctive int errogative intonation . The chapter includes a limit ed comparison of Keaukaha English with the declarative and interrogative clause structures in Nagara 's study . It also summarizes a comparison of cert ain types of usage , differentiating children and adults.

HISTORY OF ENGLISH IN HAWA II The brie f history of English in Hawaii of course is interwoven with an intricate social and linguistic drama . For thirty or more years before the missionaries ' time , sailors had been leaving ships and bring­ ing the ir English where Hawaiian had been spoken for 800 , and possibly l 1800 years . And Hawaiian was being heard on British and American ve ssels calling at Hawaii, both in port and out , because Hawaiians were even then leaving as sailors ( Kuykendall-Day 1948 :44). The life of one young Hawaiian among these linked his people irrevocably with the Connecticut and other New England missionaries.

  • Where Person Meets Word Part 1: Personalism in the Language
    WTJ 77 (2015): 355–77 WHERE PERSON MEETS WORD PART 1: PERSONALISM IN THE LANGUAGE THEORY OF KENNETH L. PIKE Pierce Taylor Hibbs I. Introduction eformed theology has always championed the Trinity as the beating heart of the Christian faith. This is true not just of the mainstay his- torical Reformers, Luther and Calvin, but also of Dutch Calvinism, Old R 1 Princeton, and the Westminster heritage. Certainly, Calvin and Melanchthon were not alone in claiming that “God’s triunity was that which distinguished the true and living God from idols.”2 The true God is the Trinity. Out of this tradition emerged Cornelius Van Til and his insistence that the self-contained ontological Trinity be the basis of all human experience and knowledge.3 He claimed that “if we are to have coherence in our experience, Pierce Hibbs currently serves as the Assistant Director of the Center for Theological Writing at Westminster Theological Seminary. 1 On Luther, see David Lumpp, “Returning to Wittenberg: What Martin Luther Teaches Today’s Theologians on the Holy Trinity,” CTQ 67 (2003): 232, 233–34; and Mickey Mattox, “From Faith to the Text and Back Again: Martin Luther on the Trinity in the Old Testament,” ProEccl 15 (2006): 292.

When in the role of insiders, researchers try to apprehend the contextualized meanings of people’s experiences within specific locales, while in their role as outsiders, they seek to identify commonalities across different locales. Clyde Kluckhohn alluded to this tension when he proposed that « the hallmark of the good anthropologist must be a curious mixture of passion and reserve » (1957, pp.

  • Theme and the Function of the Verb in Palestinian Arabic Narrative Discourse
    THEME AND THE FUNCTION OF THE VERB IN PALESTINIAN ARABIC NARRATIVE DISCOURSE BY ILHAM NAYEF ABU-GHAZALEH A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE COUNCIL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1983 , To my sister SHADYIA, who refused to continue her studies at Cairo University after the final occupation of Palestine in 1967 - She said, before she was killed at the age of -nineteen "WHAT IS THE USE OF A UNIVERSITY DEGREE FOR A PALESTINIAN WHEN HE HAS NO WALL TO HANG IT ON?" . ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My thankfulness to the head of my committee, Dr. Chauncey Chu, is limitless. I am greatly indebted to him for his tireless devotion and generosity in giving of his valuable time to crystallize this work. His kind and patient encourage- ment has been an important factor in my academic growth. My gratitude also goes to the rest of the members of my committee. Dr. Alice Faber's comments, guidance and sup- port sharpened my perception in this analysis. Dr. Bill Sullivan enriched my analysis by helping me see other sides to it. Dr. Robert de Beaugrande always enabled me to put things into perspective through his discussions, concern and encouragement. My discussions with Dr. Rene LeMarchand were of great importance to me. My greatest thanks and love go to my home university, Birzeit, for providing me with this opportunity for growth and enrichment. The difficulties they were enduring while I was far from them constituted a heavy part of my personal suffering To all my friends in Gainesville, in the United States, and at home, go my unlimited love and gratitude.

  • Introduction
    A Study of the Structure of Telugu Phrases Introduction 1 Introduction 1.1 Telugu Language 1.1.1 The Position of Telugu Telugu is a major Dravidian language of the Central Dravidian subgroup. It is included in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution alongwith the other seventeen languages. About 80 million people (66,017,615 in 1991 ) speak this language in India. This figure makes it the largest spoken tongue among all the Dravidian languages, and it is one of the languages of the VIII Schedule. 1.1.2 A Brief History The Telugu language has about 2000 years of history and heritage. The earliest available Telugu word na:gabu is found in the remains of Amaravati stupa constructed between second century B.C. and second century A.D. The earliest available Telugu inscription, at Kalamalla of the Cuddapah District of the present day Telugu state (Andhra Pradesh), dates back to 570 A.D. The earliest available literary epic, the Sri:mada:ndhramaha:bha:ratamu of the Nannaya Bhattaraka of the court of the Eastern Chalukya king Rajarajanarendra dates back to 1050 A.D. But recent research reveals that there were written records even earlier to Nannaya which might have been destroyed in the religious wars, and that the kum:rasambhavamu by the king poet Nannechoda and the kavijana:Srayamu by Reachana might have been written earlier to Sri:mada:ndhramaha:bha:ratamu (ref. Manavalli Ramakrishna Kavi’s introduction to kuma:rasambhavamu; 1909 and Nadakuduru Vira Raju, Nelaturu Venkataramanayya and Devarapalli Venkatakrishna Reddy, Bharati; 1959). The Telugu language and literature were patronaged by different royal dynasties.

NORMA PERALTA OLAYA Department of CLASSICS The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date August 9. 1967 A PHONOLOGICAL GRAMMAR OP A DIALECT OP ILOKANO Abstract Current linguistics views grammar as an integrated syntactic-semantic-phonological description of a language; as generative, that is, that sentences have a definite structure,1 that there are an infinite number of sentences, and that," therefore, a grammar cannot be a list of elements, but instead a finite set of explicit rules which can auto• matically assign a structure to an infinite set of sentences. The present thesis - a phonological grammar of the cultivated dialect of Ilokano as spoken in the town proper of Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya - has aimed to reflect these modem concepts of a grammar in both its content and methodology.
