In this research, eleven categories of names for drug/alcohol treatment facilities have been identified while eight categories have been identified for adult daycare centers. Ten categories have become apparent for nursing homes and assisted living facilities. These naming choices function as euphemisms in many cases, and in others, names reference morphemes which are perceived to reference a higher social class than competitor names.

Based on evidence from Koryak (Chukotko-Kamchan) anaphors, we argue that the AAE should be weakened and be stated as a generalization about person agreement only. We propose a theory of the weakened AAE, which combines a modification of Preminger (2019)'s AnaphP-encapsulation proposal as well as converging evidence from work on the internal syntax of pronouns (Harbour 2016, van Urk 2018).

This “second edition” of my 1887 attempt to reduce to standard rule the Nepali tongue, as spoken at cosmopolitan Darjeeling, is really an entirely new work. In preparing it I have had the advantage of elaborate criti¬ cal notes on the first edition by the most exalted authority in Kathmandu ; in passing it through the press, the invaluable assistance of the Rev. *G. P. Pradhan, the highest authority in Darjeeling ; and in meeting the expense, the practical patron¬ age of the Government of Bengal, the advance purchaser of an adequate number of the copies. In perusing it the student will perhaps allow’ some of its shortcomings—to be excused by my distance from the prin¬ ter, and himself to be persuaded to learn the native alphabet at the outset—the language is much easier in its own charac¬ ter than in the ill-fitting Roman—and to procure in due course The Acts of the Apostles in Nepali (Bible House, 23. Ohow- ringhi, Calcutta) and in English (R.V.), as complemental text¬ books.

These ancient texts (dating from about 1200 to 400 BCE) were composed, transmitted and recited in Sanskrit by Brahmin priests. It is poetry, however, that dominates the corpus of Vedic literature and is considered the more sacred style of expression.
