  • Orthographies in Grammar Books
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 30 July 2018 doi:10.20944/preprints201807.0565.v1 Tomislav Stojanov, [email protected], [email protected] Institute of Croatian Language and Linguistic Republike Austrije 16, 10.000 Zagreb, Croatia Orthographies in Grammar Books – Antiquity and Humanism Summary This paper researches the as yet unstudied topic of orthographic content in antique, medieval, and Renaissance grammar books in European languages, as part of a wider research of the origin of orthographic standards in European languages. As a central place for teachings about language, grammar books contained orthographic instructions from the very beginning, and such practice continued also in later periods. Understanding the function, content, and orthographic forms in the past provides for a better description of the nature of the orthographic standard in the present. The evolution of grammatographic practice clearly shows the continuity of development of orthographic content from a constituent of grammar studies through the littera unit gradually to an independent unit, then into annexed orthographic sections, and later into separate orthographic manuals. 5 antique, 22 Latin, and 17 vernacular grammars were analyzed, describing 19 European languages. The research methodology is based on distinguishing orthographic content in the narrower sense (grapheme to meaning) from the broader sense (grapheme to phoneme). In this way, the function of orthographic description was established separately from the study of spelling. As for the traditional description of orthographic content in the broader sense in old grammar books, it is shown that orthographic content can also be studied within the grammatographic framework of a specific period, similar to the description of morphology or syntax.

  • Typology ∧ Phonology
    Frans Plank An implicational universal to defy: typology ⊃ ¬ phonology ≡ phonology ⊃ ¬ typology ≡ ¬ (typology ᴧ phonology) ≡ ¬ typology v ¬ phonology Abstract: The purpose of this chapter is twofold: first, to assess how typology has been dealing with phonology (§2), from early days (§2.1) to the present (§2.2); second, focusing on phonology (§3), to ask about an imbalance of phonology and syntax- inflection in general (§3.1) and about typological concerns in phonology itself (§3.2). Looked at from both angles, the phonology–typology relationship is seen to be special, and the impression is confirmed that, in comparison especially with syntax, phonological typology as well as typological phonology are behindhand in the quest for system in linguistic diversity. (Though not all is well about the syntax–typology relationship, either.) Explanations are suggested in terms of the substance of subject matters (§3.1) and of the attitudes to description and theory in different subcommunities in linguistics (§3.2). 1 The typological programme and where it is in arrears In linguistics, typology is a research programme, not a subfield or a theory, and its remit is (i) to chart linguistic diversity, (ii) to discover order or indeed unity in diversity, and (iii) to make sense of what has been charted and discovered. Regrettably but perhaps understandably, given how this enterprise has usually been named after Gabelentz (1894, 1901) and given the meanings of this term in other fields, typology has sometimes been taken to be about the classification of the discipline’s cherished cardinal individuals, namely languages, into types; but for linguistic typology “type” in this sense of “class” is really a secondary and indeed expendable concept.

  • The Hungarian Language a Short Descriptive Grammar
    The Hungarian Language A Short Descriptive Grammar Beáta Megyesi Hungarian, also called Magyar, traditionally belongs to the Ob-Ugric languages (e.g. Khanty and Mansi) of the Finno-Ugric branch of Uralic. Hungarian is the official language of the Republic of Hungary, and has approximately fifteen million speakers, of which four million reside outside of Hungary. In this paper a description of Hungarian phonology, morphology and syntax follows. The sections are based on Benkö & Imre (1972), Rácz (1968), Olsson (1992) and Abondolo (1992). 1.1 Phonology Hungarian has a rich system of vowels and consonants. The vowel inventory consists of 14 phonemes of which one can distinguish 5 pairs, consisting of short and long counterparts; these are i - í, o - ó, ö - ö, u - ú, ü - ü. The remaining four are e - é and a - á. Short vowels, if they are marked, take an umlaut (¨), while long vowels are indicated by an acute (´) or with a double acute accent (´´) which is a diacritic unique to Hungarian. Long vowels are usually somewhat tenser than their short counterparts with two exceptions; e is low while é is higher mid and á is low whereas a is lower mid and slightly rounded (Abondolo, 1992). Vowel length is independent of prosodic factors such as stress. The vowels may be interconnected through the laws of vowel harmony which means that suffixes, which may assume two or three different forms, usually agree in backness with the last vowel of the stem. In other words, front vs. back alternatives of suffixes are selected according to which vowel(s) the stem contain(s) (Benkö & Imre, 1972).

The study works in both theoretical and applied contrastive linguistics by stating the rules governing determination and developing a methodology for analysis, and by noting language acquisition difficulties to reduce language learning interfe,.ence. Part One deals with means for expressing determination in English and Hungarian noun phrases* contrasted from the standpoint of article use. The main differences concerning the relation of demonstratives and possessive determiners to articles are discussed. In noun classification, the system of English countable and uncountable nouns is contrasted with Hungarian. The distinction between English quantifiers "much" and "little" and numericals "many" and "few" is analyzed. Individual and non-individual features of Hungarian countable common nouns are observed. Part Two gives a contrastive analysis of English and Hungarian articles showing usage rules and examples.

  • Inflectional Marking in Hungarian Aphasics
    BRAIN AND LANGUAGE 41, 165-183 (1991) Inflectional Marking in Hungarian Aphasics BRIAN MACWHINNEY Carnegie Mellon Universiry AND JUDIT OSM~N-&I Hungarian Academy of Sciences How do aphasics deal with the rich inflectional marking available in agglutinative languages like Hungarian? For the Hungarian noun alone, aphasics have to deal with over 15 basic case markings and dozens of possible combinations of these basic markings. Using the picture description task of MacWhinney and Bates (1978), this study examined the use of inflectional markings in nine Broca’s and five Wemicke’s aphasic speakers of Hungarian. The analysis focused on subject, direct object, indirect object, and locative nominal arguments. Compared to nor- mals, both groups had a much higher rate of omission of all argument types. Subject ellipsis was particularly strong, as it is in normal Hungarian. There was a tendency for Broca’s to omit the indirect object and for Wernicke’s to omit the direct object. Across argument types, Wemicke’s had a much higher level of pronoun usage than did Broca’s. Broca’s also showed a very high level of article omission. Compared to similar data reported by Slobin (this issue) for Turkish, the Hungarian aphasics showed an elevated level of omission of case markings. Addition errors were quite rare, but there were 14 substitutions of one case marking for another. These errors all involved the substitution of some close semantic competitor. There were no errors in the basic rules for vowel harmony or morpheme order. Overall the results paint a picture of a group of individuals whose grammatical abilities are damaged and noisy, but still largely functional.
