Menopausal-type symptoms among breast cancer patients on aromatase inhibitor therapy
Because bothersome symptoms and side-effects are a major reason for discontinuation and non-adherence to treatment, symptoms should be monitored and addressed by oncologists so that the breast cancer patient can maintain her quality of life and remain adherent to the treatment schedule.
Germania Semitica
Germania Semitica explores prehistoric language contact in general, and attempts to identify the languages involved in shaping Germanic in particular. The book deals with a topic outside the scope of other disciplines concerned with prehistory, such as archaeology and genetics, drawing its conclusions from the linguistic evidence alone, relying on language typology and areal probability. The data for reconstruction comes from Germanic syntax, pho…
Athel and its Relatives
In this paper I would first like to show what the problems are with the etymology of the Germanic athel words, then how the words of the athel family thrive and decline in Old and Middle English, and how another family of words takes over all their functions, and finally how the model of change taught by this case applies to the obscure origin of the athel family itself. I have written on athel (<+ aþal-) before. Here I would like to present an a…

English as a Contact Language
This article places English language contacts in a typological and comparative perspective. It begins with a review of the essentials of language contact terminology: concepts such as substrate, superstrate, and the various kinds of adstrate, as well as borrowing, importation, language shift, and interlanguage are defined and illustrated. Two sections describe substratal and superstratal contact influence in the history of English: language shift…

Europa Vasconica - Europa Semitica
This book presents the theory that the linguistic and cultural landscape of Europe north of the Alps and the Pyrenees was shaped in prehistoric times by the interaction of Indo-European speakers with speakers of languages related to Basque and to Semitic. These influences on the lexicon, grammar, and toponymy of the West Indo-European languages (with special focus on Germanic) are demonstrated in German and English research papers, provided here …

Linguistic Reconstruction in the Context of European Prehistory
This paper proposes a reconstruction of the language of Europe north of the Alps before the advent of Indo‐European. It contains the following sections: 1. Purpose. 2. Krahe's ‘Old European hydronymy’. 3. On the Old European toponymy. 4. A critique of Krahe's morphology of the Old European hydronymy. 5. The agglutinating structure of the language of the Old European toponymy. 6. The non‐Indo‐European character of the language of the Old European …

Language Universals
It is traditionally believed that language universals have their source in the uniform genetic endowment of all human beings. In his keynote address "Investigating linguistic universals" presented at the 12th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences, held at Aix-en-Provence in 1991, Ian Maddieson has proposed a second source: the arbitrary features and idiosyncrasies of a primordial parent language of more than 100,000 years ago. He attempts t…
The Relative Chronology of the High Germanic Consonant Shift and the West Germanic Anaptyxis
This paper studies systematic relationships between two sound changes, the High Germanic Consonant Shift and the West Germanic Anaptyxis. Since the High Germanic languages, i.e., High German and Lombardic, are a division of the West Germanic Sprachbund, it might be thought — and this is indeed the general view — that the more extensive West Germanic change necessarily antedates the more limited High Germanic change. But an examination of the rela…

Sound Change and Syllable Structure in Germanic Phonology
Two competing theories exist about the Proto-Germanic syllabication of and similar sequences: one proposes that the division was , the other, . Furthermore, three major phonological developments in Germanic groups have never received a satisfactory explanation: consonant gemination in West Germanic, vowel lengthening (with differential constraints) in North Germanic, and glide strengthening in Gothic. This paper proposes a uniform solution for al…
Semantic structures. A study in the relation between semantics and syntax
Phonetic features and phonological features
Phonetic Detail in Assimilation
A certain class of vowel changes caused by consonants in Germanic languages, foremost among them the OHG monophthongization ( ai → ē before h, r, w , #; au → ō before h, r , dentals, #), have never been given a systematic explanatory formulation. I show in this paper that all these changes are height assimilation rules. This explanation requires the introduction of a new convention into the theory of phonology: assimilatory features in a rule env…

Sanskrit Ruki and the Concept of a Natural Class
The Phonology of Gothic Vowels
Few languages have received more phonological investigation than Biblical Gothic, and with fewer generally accepted results. Disagreement on the consonantism centers around certain details, but in the vowel system it concerns the very heart of the matter. Posited inventories range from five to twelve vowel segments, not counting diphthongs. With the century-old battle for monophthongal interpretation of ai , au, iu finally decided (or very nearly…
