  • African Day–Names in Jamaica

  • David DeCamp
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 43 / Issue 1 / March 1967
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    22 April 2026, pp. 139-149

  • A system of day-names, indicating the sex and the day of the week on which a child was born, was carried from Africa to Jamaica in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. As personal names, they are now obsolete and almost extinct. All fourteen, however, survive as pejorative common nouns, retaining certain syntactic features (e.g. gender), but losing the purely semantic week-day feature. The series of historical changes, conditioned both by social influences and by the syntactic and semantic structure of the system, gives support to the subordination of semantic features to syntactic ones in modern linguistic theory.

  • A Bibliography of American Pronunciation 1888–1928

  • Hans Kurath
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 5 / Issue 3-Part1 / September 1929
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    22 April 2026, pp. 155-162

  • This bibliography was compiled primarily for the purpose of making the rather scattered bits of more or less reliable information regarding the pronunciation of English in the various parts of the United States more readily accessible, but also to show how little actual work has been done and how much remains to be done before we shall have even an imperfect picture of American pronunciation. Incidentally the compiler could point out that our most widely used dictionaries have made little effort to utilize what work has been done and persist in presenting a largely fictitious ‘correct pronunciation’.

  • Pānini's Replacement Technique and the Active Finite Verb

  • B. A. van Nooten
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 43 / Issue 4 / December 1967
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    22 April 2026, pp. 883-902

  • That section of Pāṇini's grammar which deals with Sanskrit morphology has an underlying principle which in this paper is illustrated by the theory of the active finite verb. The rules that govern the formation of the verb from its elements are stated in terms of replacements. In theory, these are valid throughout the grammar, but by the grammar's design the replacement rules are only effectively operative in specific environments. The rules, their scope, and their occasional failures are given in detail.

  • IIav-Compounds in Early Greek

  • H. M. Hoenigswald
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 16 / Issue 3 / September 1940
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    22 April 2026, pp. 183-188

  • [Merely determinative compounds, though common in many modern IE languages, represent a rare type in Primitive IE. Of the few Greek examples found as early as Homer, adjectives with παv- are the most characteristic. Their secondary origin from regular ‘exocentric’ types can still be traced in the epic. This is typical for the development of determinative composition in general, in Greek as well as in other IE languages.]

    Language / Volume 46 / Issue 4 / December 1970

    22 April 2026, p. 998

  • A correction should be made in William Labov’s article, ‘Contraction, deletion, and inherent variability of the English copula’ (Lg. vol. 45, p. 749) : in Figure 12, the symbols + NP and — NP are to be reversed. In addition, in the caption for Figure 12, rule 9’ should be changed to rule 10’.
