  • Evidence for Indo-European Alternation of Initial /gw/ and /w/

  • James W. Poultney
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 39 / Issue 3-Part1 / September 1963
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    22 April 2026, pp. 398-408

  • Hermann Hirt, Idg. Gr. 1.336–7 (1927), in a treatment of initial consonant variation, presented eight sets of examples as evidence for an alternation gw [sic] : w. In general the etymological relationship of so much as lies to the left of the colon (e.g. Gk. bía, Skt. jayati, jināti) or to the right of the colon (e.g. Gk. s, Lat. vīs) is admitted by the standard etymological dictionaries. Relationship between forms lying on the left and on the right is naturally not admitted, since Hirt did not develop his material to a point at which alternations of the kind in question could be used in support of new etymologies. We have in fact no right to take such equations for granted, though I hope in this article to show some reasons for regarding it as credible that certain forms with reflexes of /gw/ and of /w/ had an identical origin. In connection with the Latin forms it is well to mention that v, being a reflex of both IE /gw/ and /w/, cannot be used as unambiguous evidence for either. In §§2–9 I take up Hirt's equations in order, with brief discussion.

  • Some Observations Concerning Subordinate Clauses in English

  • William E. Rutherford
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 46 / Issue 1 / March 1970
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    22 April 2026, pp. 97-115

  • Certain examples of English subordinate clauses are introduced in §1, together with the assumptions and evidence used in claiming that a problem, for which the examples are crucial, does in fact exist. §2 contains a brief description of J. R. Ross’s performative sentence hypothesis. §3 shows how Ross’s schema might be modified in order to account for the special problems posed by reason adverbials. §4 is concerned with the derivation of though clauses within a declarative sentence framework. §5 extends the discussion to other types of adverbials.

  • Simultaneous Components in Phonology

  • Zellig S. Harris

    Language / Volume 20 / Issue 4-Part1 / December 1944
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    22 April 2026, pp. 181-205

  • 1.0. This paper investigates the results that may be obtained when phonemes, or utterances in general, are broken down into simultaneously occurring components : as when the English phoneme /b/ is said to consist of voicing plus lip position plus stop closure, all occurring simultaneously.

  • Prehistory and the Italian Dialects

  • Ernst Pulgram
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 25 / Issue 3 / September 1949
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    22 April 2026, pp. 241-252

  • The title of this article is more pretentious than the subject that I propose to treat in these few pages. My concern here is with a question of method; accordingly I shall defer a more comprehensive treatment to some future publication, and refrain from burdening the present essay with details and examples. The purpose of this paper is to show how, through a study of pre-Romance archeology, anthropology, and ethnology, the Italian dialects can be made to appear in a new and perhaps brighter light.
