  • When Sounds Go Wild: Phonological Change and Syntactic Re-Analysis in Havasupai

  • Leanne Hinton
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 56 / Issue 2 / June 1980
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    12 March 2026, pp. 320-344

  • A cross-generational study of speech in Havasupai, a Yuman language of Arizona, reveals a set of variable phonological rules, affecting person-agreement affixes, that have begun to operate in the last hundred years. These rules might seem obligatory for younger speakers; but closer investigation reveals that these speakers have instead re-analysed the paradigm. This re-analysis illustrates the principle that rules which do not allow surface evidence of the underlying form to be preserved cannot exist: obligatory application of such a rule must eliminate both the rule itself and the underlying form. The speech of the youngest children shows continuing change of the paradigm toward an internally-consistent, transparent system of person-agreement that differs radically from the original system.

  • Beyond the Input Given: The Child's Role in the Acquisition of Language

  • Susan Goldin-Meadow, Carolyn Mylander
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 66 / Issue 2 / June 1990
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    12 March 2026, pp. 323-355

  • The child's creative contribution to the language-acquisition process is potentially most apparent in situations where the linguistic input available to the child is degraded, providing the child with ample opportunity to elaborate upon that input. The children described in this paper are deaf, with hearing losses so severe that they cannot naturally acquire spoken language, and their hearing parents have chosen not to expose them to sign language. Despite their lack of usable linguistic input, these children develop gestural communication systems which share many structural properties with early linguistic systems of young children learning from established language models. This paper reviews our findings on the structural properties of the deaf children's gesture systems and evaluates those properties in the context of data gained from other approaches to the question of the young child's language-making capacity.
