  • [It is shown that a linguistic dating system can be set up on the basis of several explicit assumptions about morpheme decay. Thirteen sets of data, presented in partial justification of these assumptions, serve as a basis for calculating a universal constant to express the average rate of retention k̄ of the basic-root-morphemes : k = 0.8048 ± 0.0176 per millennium, with a confidence limit of 90%. Finally an expression is derived for the sampling-error to be expected in the calculated time-depths of related dialects.]

  • On the Present State of Indo-European Linguistics

  • George S. Lane

    22 April 2026, pp. 333-342

  • For more than a generation now the bulk of scientific linguistic publication in America has been devoted to descriptive linguistics and the vast majority of the last generation of students of linguistics have devoted themselves largely to that field. The larger measure of scientific advance has accompanied the larger measure of devotion. That is to be expected. There have, of course, been notable exceptions. But I believe the facts will bear me out in my observation that these notable exceptions have been due to the continued labors of an older generation of scholars.

  • Siamese Wan and Waan

  • Fang-Kuei Li
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 32 / Issue 1 / March 1956
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:

  • Siamese wan ‘day (A2)’ and waan ‘yesterday (A2)' present some phonological as well as etymological problems in Proto-Tai (PT). They represent a rare type of initial which has to be assumed in the Proto-Tai system. The first word has often been assumed to go back to the PT initial w-; thus Haudricourt lists it unhesitatingly under his PT *w-, and Benedict compares it with Indonesian wari. Wulff has noted, however, that the word appears in Dioi as ŋon, thus showing a curious correspondence of Dioi ŋ- to Siamese w-; but this observation of Wulff has been neglected by both Benedict and Haudricourt.
