Loan and Inheritance Patterns in Hunter-Gatherer Ethnobiological Systems
We compare the etymologies of ethnobiological nomenclature in 130 hunter-gatherer and agriculturist languages in Australia, North America, and Amazonia. Previous work has identified correlations between systems of ethnobiological terminology and dominant means of community subsistence, relating stability of terminology to the “salience” of the items. However, the relevance of subsistence patterns to the development of ethnobiological nomenclature…

C57BL/6J mice, in two-bottle choice paradigms, show increased oral morphine consumption, compared with DBA/2J mice. To determine whether this C57 morphine preference reflects differences in the receptor-mediated, reward-based action of morphine (as opposed to pharmacokinetic or gustatory differences), three experiments were performed. Consistent with previous two-bottle choice experiments, C57 mean (+/- S.D.) morphine consumption was 18 +/- 3 mg/…

Ideophones in interaction with intonation and the expression of new information in some indigenous languages of Australia
Lexical replacement and cognate equilibrium in Australia
We estimate the degree to which languages resort to borrowing as a means of lexical replacement, within a group of neighbouring languages of southwestern Cape York Peninsula, using several methods: (1) sound‐correspondences and correspondence‐mimicry; (2) the proportion of ‘local’ words in single‐language lists; and (3) the creation of the vocabulary of special registers. We find that borrowing accounts for at most half of lexical replacement in …
Yir-Yiront ideophones
Yir-Yoront (hereafter YY) and the other languages of its area (central to southwestern Cape York Peninsula, Australia) feature a high frequency of ideophones in ordinary and mythic narrative. Ideophones are word-like elements that suggest the sound, in a highly conventionalized sense, that accompanies an action. An example is trrra, as in Kalq ‘trrra yoyrrin “[he] gathered together the spears [suddenly, with a trrra sound].” The relation of the s…
Sound symbolism
Sound symbolism is the study of the relationship between the sound of an utterance and its meaning. In this interdisciplinary collection of new studies, twenty-four leading scholars discuss the role of sound symbolism in a theory of language. They consider sound symbolic processes in a wide range of languages from Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and North and South America. Beginning with an evocative typology of sound symbolic processes, they g…

On the Genetic Subgrouping of the Languages of Southwestern Cape York Peninsula, Australia
The sound systems of the present- day languages of southwestern Cape York are briefly described, as is that of the hypothe- tical ancestor of the Cape York languages, Proto-Paman. On the basis of shared phono- logical and morphological innovations, the following subgroups are postulated: the Yir subgroup, containing Yir Yoront and Yir Thangedl; the Coastal Southwest Pama subgroup, containing the Yir subgroup and Koko Pera; the Upper Southwest Pam…
