  • Developmental Neurophysiology and Phonological Acquisition Order

  • Peter H. Salus, Mary W. Salus
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 50 / Issue 1 / March 1974

  • Reports of developing phonologies agree that the fricatives are generally acquired later than stops, and the hierarchy of distinctive features places [+ strident] at the foot of the list on the basis of linguistic evidence. Neurophysiological evidence seems to indicate that the differentiation of [+ strident] consonants is a function of degree of myelination of the auditory nerve and the cortical bodies with which it is connected. Evidence from pathological cases supports the hypothesis that differentiation of high frequencies is impaired in cases of demyelinating disease. It is concluded that the fricative consonants are acquired last because they are auditorily discriminated last by the developing child.

  • ‘With One LIP, with Two Lips’: Parallelism in Nahuatl

  • William Bright
  • Journal:
    Language / Volume 66 / Issue 3 / September 1990
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    12 March 2026, pp. 437-452

  • Texts in Classical Nahuatl of the year 1524, in the genre of formal oratory, reveal extensive use of lines showing parallel morphosyntactic and semantic structure; this parallelism expresses likeness rather than contrast, and is organized in binary sequences which display successive embedding. Analysis and translation of an extended passage point to (a) the applicability of structural analysis to ‘expressive’ as well as ‘referential’ texts; and (b) the importance of understanding oral literatures not just in terms imposed by translators, but in the light of their inherent esthetic principles.
