  • The Problem of the Onomasiological Structure
    THE PROBLEM OF THE ONOMASIOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF A PLACE NAME SYMMETRY IN FORMATION OF PROPER AND COMMON NOUNS ВОПРОС ОБ ОНОМАСИОЛОГИЧЕСКОЙ СТРУКТУРЕ ТОПОНИМА: СИММЕТРИЯ ОБРАЗОВАНИЯ СОБСТВЕННЫХ И НАРИЦАТЕЛЬНЫХ ИМЁН О.И. Копач A.I. Kopach Belarusian State University Minsk, Belarus Белорусский государственный университет Минск, Беларусь E-mail: [email protected] Proper names, including place names, have long been considered as violators of traditions. Being ready to substantiate any part of speech, phrase and sentence, these full-fledged units of the language system have always been studied on special grounds. However, with all the specificity of proprial lexis it has always been studyable by linguistic means. What were the amendments to toponymic identity? Traditionally, linguists refer to the need to examine proper names of geographical objects on a toponymic level pointing to the stratum of lexis which is actively involved in establishing a system of signs such as benchmarks on the ground (other proper names) and which are important for the study of names. When creating new names of geographical objects a word from common vocabulary, and another proper name (either the name of a person or the name of a nearby object) can serve as a derivational basis: AmE. Beaver Swamp, Aaron Swamp, Boeuf River Marsh, Blr. Yasien’, Torbalava, Chervien’skaje Balota. On the one hand, this circumstance lets some linguists talk about a broader semantics of onyms compared with appellatives. It is able to accommodate a heterogeneous group of units (a systematic approach). On the other hand, it raises reasons to consider proper names as a subclass of the language system in which all the features of the previous stages of word existence are leveled.

  • Information to Users
    INFORMATION TO USERS While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this manuscript, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. For example: • Manuscript pages may have indistinct print. In such cases, the best available copy has been filmed. • Manuscripts may not always be complete. In such cases, a note will indicate that it is not possible to obtain missing pages. • Copyrighted material may have been removed from the manuscript. In such cases, a note will indicate the deletion. Oversize materials (e.g., maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sectioning the original, beginning at the upper left-hand corner and continuing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or as a 17”x 23” black and white photographic print. Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or microfiche but lack the clarity on xerographic copies made from the microfilm. For an additional charge, 35mm slides of 6”x 9” black and white photographic prints are available for any photographs or illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography.

    Developmental Psychology Copyright 2008 by the American Psychological Association 2008, Vol. 44, No. 4, 929–938 0012-1649/08/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/0012-1649.44.4.929 Baby’s First 10 Words Twila Tardif Paul Fletcher University of Michigan University College Cork Weilan Liang and Zhixiang Zhang Niko Kaciroti Peking University First Hospital University of Michigan Virginia A. Marchman Stanford University Although there has been much debate over the content of children’s first words, few large sample studies address this question for children at the very earliest stages of word learning. The authors report data from comparable samples of 265 English-, 336 Putonghua- (Mandarin), and 369 Cantonese-speaking 8- to 16-month-old infants whose caregivers completed MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development In- ventories and reported them to produce between 1 and 10 words. Analyses of individual words indicated striking commonalities in the first words that children learn. However, substantive cross-linguistic differences appeared in the relative prevalence of common nouns, people terms, and verbs as well as in the probability that children produced even one of these word types when they had a total of 1–3, 4–6, or 7–10 words in their vocabularies. These data document cross-linguistic differences in the types of words produced even at the earliest stages of vocabulary learning and underscore the importance of parental input and cross-linguistic/cross-cultural variations in children’s early word-learning. Keywords: vocabulary acquisition, infants, Chinese, English Current research on children’s first words has focused on what (Gentner & Boroditsky, 2001) argues that proper and concrete categories of words children produce, with debate centered around object nouns are earliest in acquisition because they are mapped whether they exhibit a noun bias in early speech.

  • Internal Grammar in Amharic Place-Names 5
    Internal Grammar in Alllharic Place- Nallles GRETA D. LITTLE MOST MORPHOSYNTACTICSTUDIES OF English names have concen- trated on external grammatical relationships. In his excellent mono- graph On Defining the Proper Name, John Algeo has cited the three morphosyntactic characteristics distinguishing proper names from common nouns:1 (1) proper names are not used in the plural; (2) proper names are used without articles; (3) proper names do accept restrictive relative clauses. However, these are external characteristics applying to the name as a unit. Studies of the internal grammar in proper names of more than one constituent are less developed. Vivian Zinkin has examined multi-constituent place-names with respect to generic and specific constituents.2 In Zinkin's sample the generic noun is actually present in most of the names, e.g., Long Swamp. There are only a few examples where the true generic has been suppressed. They involve adjective-noun constructions, which do not require connective morphology in English. The three examples in Zinkin's sample reflect the adjective-noun order most common in English syntax. Ethiopian place-names offer an interesting opportunity to examine internal grammar. For this study I have chosen a set of two-constituent place-names. The more than 50 forms included are primarily Amharic, the official national language, although their location is not confined to Amharic-speaking areas. Many of these names were assigned within the last two centuries. Sometimes an old place-name from an indigenous language exists side-by-side with the Amharic form, e.g., Debre Zeyt, which is also known by its older Cushitic name Bishoftu, especially 1 John Algeo, On Defining the Proper Name (Gainesville: University of Florida Press, 1973), p.l1.
