  • Post-1949 German loans in written English

    Garland CannonARTICLEWORD1998Cited by: 1References: 11

    This is the fourth in a series of articles on post-1949 loans (a term that includes both loanwords and loan translations) which are recorded in standard English dictionaries, with the articles on Japanese, Spanish, and Arabic already published (Cannon 1994b, 1996a, 1997). This study on German is quite different because it contains numerous originally technical German coinings that, though utilizing classical rather than Germanic elements, should …

    Garland CannonARTICLEWORD1992References: 1

    This paper will reevaluate Jones’s famous 1786 formulation and his other findings that essentially founded modern linguistics. Building on ideas about language relationships that had been voiced for two millennia, but casting these and his own interdisciplinary findings into the form of a theory, his 1786 formulation was a refined, tested form of an experimental hypothesis based on a systematic phonological and morphological comparison of words a…

  • Malay(sian) Borrowings in English

    Garland CannonARTICLEAmerican Speech1992Cited by: 7References: 2

    writing system is involved, transcription is required. The scope of this definition and the fact that borrowing perhaps occurs in all languages in the course of their development suggest that, whenever language contact occurs, borrowing becomes a function of language change. As Deroy (1980) has concluded, L'emprunt est, en effet, un temoin precieux des evenements politiques, des courants economiques, des grandes decouvertes, des progres scientifi…

  • The Life and Mind of Oriental Jones

    Open AccessGarland CannonBOOKLife and Mind of Oriental Jones1991

    Sir William Jones is best known for his famous Third Discourse of 1786 in which he proposed that Sanskrit's affinity to Greek and Latin could be explained by positing a common, earlier source, one known today as Indo-European. This brilliant thesis of language families laid the groundwork for modern comparative linguistics. Jones's interests and achievements, however, ranged far beyond language. He studied and made contributions to astronomy, bot…

    Garland CannonARTICLEAmerican Speech1988Cited by: 15

    H ISTORIES OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE and particularly Serjeantson's famous book on borrowings English indicate that exotic languages like Japanese and Chinese (a general term which we will use for Peking Chinese, Cantonese, and a few related languages) have contributed few items, though some of the items enjoy high frequency. For Japanese, the same few examples are cited again and again the histories, and Serjeantson lists only 20 borrowings princi…
