Since 2010, I have conducted experimental research exploring phonetic influences on subjective grouping biases among native speakers of English, Spanish and Zapotec who are tasked with segmenting rhythmically organized speech sequences. I am now developing a new research program to study the relationship between markedness and the “ease of learning” of non-native stress patterns in adults. • Before 2010: Theoretical phonology, Optimality Theory. My research contributed to studies of language prosody patterns, particularly in the areas of syllable structure, phonological stress and stress typology, and prosodic morphology. Some of my work in Optimality Theory made proposals regarding the formal nature of phonological constraints.

  • Northwest Journal of Linguistics Instructions for Referees Review Criteria
    Northwest Journal of Linguistics Instructions for Referees Review Criteria Topic Papers should deal with indigenous languages of Northwestern North America, including British Columbia, Alaska, the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Northwestern Montana. This definition is to be liberally interpreted. For example, papers dealing with contact languages may be appropriate even if they developed after European contact, as may be papers dealing with languages whose focus is elsewhere if there is some particular connection to the Northwest, e.g. a paper about Michif as used in British Columbia. Papers about languages spoken wholly outside of the region will generally not be appropriate but may be considered on the basis of some other connection, e.g. if the language is genetically related to a language of the region. Papers on all aspects of linguistics are acceptable: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, diachronic, writing systems, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, language acquisition, etc. Papers may be descriptive, theoretical, or philological. Although we expect most papers to contain recent original research, we are interested in making available older unpublished material. Papers that clearly fall outside the scope of the journal will be rejected by the editors without refereeing, but referees may be called upon to give an opinion in marginal cases. Referees should feel free to indicate that a paper would be more appropriate for another journal. Quality The criteria for evaluating

  • Journal of Phonetics (1984) 12: 345-354
    In: Journal of Phonetics (1984) 12: 345-354. On the nature of labial velar shift Raymond Hickey Bonn University Abstract Labial velar shift is a common diachronic occurrence in various languages which in recent works on phonology has been captured by the reintroduction of the Jakobsonian feature [grave]. The type of shift involved, the form and direction it takes is a matter which has received insufficient attention. The present study is an attempt to account for this shift by viewing manifestations of it in Romance, Celtic, Germanic, Slavic and Uralic. The essential difference between lenition and labial velar shift is emphasized and the notion of favouring conditions for the shift (the phonotactic environment of the segments involved) is introduced. In all cases the acoustic (and hence autditory) similarity of the segments which undergo shifting is seen to be the triggering factor. It is by now commonplace to maintain that a phonological framework must take cognizance of, and provide notational means for describing, the interrelatedness of labial and velar segments. Evidence abounds in a variety of languages (see below) that labials and velars relate in a manner which say labials and dentals do not. In early distinctive feature theory (Jakobson and Halle, 1956, p. 43) this fact could be captured by the use of the feature [grave]. It was also quickly recognized by linguists after the publication of Chomsky and Halle (1968) that the abandoning of the feature [grave] constituted a loss in generalization (Ladefoged, 1972, p.44; Hyman, 1973; Lass and Anderson, 1975, p.187). However, in those works where the necessity for the feature [grave] is insisted upon (Davidsen-Nielsen and Ørum, 1978, p.201; Sommerstein, 1977, p.

The study belongs to descriptive qualitative research. It emphasizes in a note which depict real situation to support data presentation. Content analysis is used as research methodology. It analyzes the research result of the observed speech event. The data are collected from three sources: informant, events, and documents. Results of the study demonstrate that the use of Javanese language is still dominant in the learning process at primary schools in Surakarta. Many factors affect the use of Javanese language as mother tongue in classroom teaching-learning process. They are (1) balancing the learning process, so that learners are able to better understand the material presented by the teacher (2) teacher’s habit to speak Javanese language, and (3) drawing student’s attention. The factors underlying this phenomenon are explained by teacher and student’s lack of Indonesian language vocabulary. In addition, there is an element unnoticed by teachers.

  • Reflections on the Academic Status of Lexicography
    http://lexikos.journals.ac.za doi: 10.5788/20-0-152 Reflections on the Academic Status of Lexicography Sven Tarp, Department of Afrikaans and Dutch, University of Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch, South Africa, and Centre for Lexicography, Aarhus School of Business, University of Aarhus, Aarhus, Denmark ([email protected]) Abstract: Two main camps have been formed with regard to the philosophical and academic status of lexicography: one considering lexicography an independent scientific discipline, and the other opposing such a scientific status. This article discusses some of the arguments from the sec- ond camp and argues that lexicography should be considered an independent scientific discipline. The argumentation is based on the fact that the subject field of lexicography is different from the subject fields of any other discipline, including linguistics. In this sense, the concept of a lexico- graphical work is broader than the more reduced concept of a dictionary. Lexicographical works, including dictionaries, are considered cultural artefacts and utility tools produced in order to meet punctual information needs detected in society. In this way, they have during the millenniums cov- ered almost all spheres of human activity and knowledge. The theory and science of lexicography should not focus on the differences regarding the specific content of all these works, but on aspects that unite them and are common to all of them. In this regard, some of the core characteristics of lexicography as an independent discipline are discussed together with its complex relation to other disciplines. Lexicographical theory is understood as a systematic set of statements about its subject field. Finally, the article argues that the fact that this theory may seem too abstract and difficult to some working lexicographers does not in itself invalidate its independent scientific status, although a close relation between theory and practice is recommended.

  • The Development of Grammar Teaching Material Using Error and Contrastive Analysis (A Linguistic Approach in Foreign Language Teaching)
    TESOL International Journal 2 The Development of Grammar Teaching Material Using Error and Contrastive Analysis (A Linguistic Approach in Foreign Language Teaching) Mantasiah R1 Yusri2 Jufri3 1,3Department of Foreign Language Education, Universitas Negeri Makassar, Makassar 2Department of English Literature, University of Fajar, Makassar Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop an English grammar teaching material for Indonesian learner with a linguistics approach consisting of error and contrastive analysis. This was a research and development study which applied five steps: 1) analysis, 2) design, 3) development, 4) implementation and 5) evaluation. Some experts were involved in validating the teaching material before implemented to the participants. The research data were the student’s test scores in translation and writing test. The teaching materials were delivered during six meetings. Data technique analysis was the paired sample t-test which compared pre-test and post-test score. The results showed that student’s score in translation and writing test increased significantly. There were three advantages of this teaching material which had triggered student’s academic performance, namely easy to learn, composed based on the student’s needs, and implementing linguistics theory Keywords: Applied Linguistics, Error analysis, Contrastive Analysis, Indonesian Learner, English Grammar Teaching Material Introduction Various studies have been conducted to increase the quality of English language learning process for non-native English

  • What Is Lexicography?
    What is Lexicography? Henning Bergenholtz, Department of Afrikaans and Dutch, University of Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch, Republic of South Africa and Centre for Lexicography, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark ([email protected]) and Rufus H. Gouws, Department of Afrikaans and Dutch, University of Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch, Republic of South Africa ([email protected]) Abstract: Within the field of lexicography there are numerous differences when it comes to the interpretation of the term lexicography and differences in determining the nature, extent and scope of this term. Although it is widely accepted that lexicography consist of two components, i.e. theo- retical lexicography and the lexicographic practice, different definitions of lexicography give no unambiguous reflection of this distinction and of the individual components. This paper looks at some prevailing diverse uses and interpretations of the word lexicography. This is followed by pro- posals to ensure a transformative, unified and comprehensive interpretation of this concept. Keywords: INDEPENDENT DISCIPLINE, INFORMATION TOOL, LEXICOGRAPHER, LEXI- COGRAPHIC PRACTICE, LEXICOGRAPHIC THEORY, LEXICOGRAPHIC TOOL, LEXICOG- RAPHY, LEXICOLOGY, METALEXICOGRAPHY, SCIENTIFIC LEXICOGRAPHY, TERMI- NOGRAPHY Opsomming: Wat is leksikografie? In die leksikografie bestaan daar talle verskille met betrekking tot die interpretasie van die term leksikografie asook met betrekking tot 'n vasstelling van die aard, omvang en bestek van hierdie term. Alhoewel dit wyd aanvaar word dat leksikografie uit twee komponente bestaan, naamlik 'n teoretiese en 'n praktiese komponent, bied onderskeie defini- sies van leksikografie geen ondubbelsinnige beskrywing van hierdie verskil en van die onderskeie komponente nie. Hierdie artikel gee aandag aan enkele bestaande maar uiteenlopende gebruike en interpretasies van die woord leksikografie. Daarna volg voorstelle ter versekering van 'n transforma- tiewe verenigde en omvattende interpretasie van hierdie begrip.

  • Under-Researched Languages: Phonetic Results from Language Archives
    Under-Researched Languages: Phonetic Results from Language Archives D. H. Whalen Joyce McDonough 1942 Language archives are becoming increasingly available, allowing new possibilities for phonetic analysis, especially for under-researched and endangered languages. A large number of the world's languages lack adequate phonetic documentation and depend on impressionistic descriptions of their sound patterns. Many of the world’s most typologically unusual contrasts or phonological patterns have been reported in languages with small numbers of speakers that consequently have not received attention from academic researchers. To gain a greater understanding of the phonetic patterns present in human languages and to better inform phonetic and phonological theory, data from under-resourced and endangered languages and language communities is crucial. Archives allow the efficient use of resources by making acoustic records available, but the decisions made in the creation and curation of archives affect what analyses are possible, based on the level of detail in the analysis accompanying the sound files. In this chapter, we describe some currently existing language archives, focusing on those that contain data primarily from endangered languages. We summarize a selection of the papers that have performed phonetic analysis on data from those archives and close with some recommendations for archives that would make phonetic analysis of archived material more feasible and that would also provide greater reward for depositors of this valuable material. Introduction The upsurge in documentation of languages, especially endangered ones, that has occurred in the past decades has produced a large amount of potential data for linguistic research, including phonetic research. The increasingly common inclusion of spoken material in archived audio and video recordings potentially provides the means to document the sound and gesture patterns and phonetic properties of spoken and signed language, aspects of language not recoverable from written text.

    IJSL 2020; 263: 85–90 Wesley Y. Leonard* Musings on Native American language reclamation and sociolinguistics https://doi.org/10.1515/ijsl-2020-2086 Abstract: Sociolinguistic approaches to Native American languages are best conducted as part of a project of “language reclamation,” argues Wesley Y. Leonard. He discusses how framings of Indigenous languages as “endangered,” while in some ways well-intentioned, replicate the distance of language com- munities from scholarly research. An emphasis on reclamation –“efforts by Indigenous communities to claim the right to speak their heritage languages”– highlights the role of the community members in the production of knowledge on and the revival of Native American languages.

In response, I became a linguist with a focus on decolonial approaches to addressing language shift, which usually refers to a community’sreplacementofitsheritagelanguagewiththelan- guage of a social dominant group, but which I aim to show can also entail a community’s return to its heritage language. As part of this goal, I have been developing a framework of language reclamation to describe and theorize efforts by Indigenous communities to claim their right to speak their heritage languages and to set associated goals in response to community needs and perspectives.
