    The comment 'unrecorded in dictionaries accessible to me' accompanied the inquiry. Whitman's unfamiliar noun with -ain two syllables remains mostly unrecorded, it is true, but unmistakably it was the form current in his region, and known to the poet, of the now pretty standard curlicue, curlycue, curleycue, and so forth, meaning a twist or flourish, often fantastic. It is used of handwriting, of ornaments in architecture, of figures made in ice s…

  • It' Once More

    Louise PoundARTICLEAmerican Speech1954

    THE NEUTER pronoun of the third person it has developed and still develops interesting extensions of usage. In this slight note I wish to comment on a use initially recorded in England in the 1930s and again at the half-century turn and given recent brief mention in the United States.

  • Trade-Name Irradiations

    Louise PoundARTICLEAmerican Speech1951

    T HE NEED for new names for new products, gadgets, mechanical inventions, fabrics, drugs, and the like was never greater than now. That the names be novel and that they catch the attention are, of course, primary desiderata. Patterns of word creation establish themselves, and some are likely to be worked overhard. A taking affix may develop surprisingly. Who, for example, would have prophesied the multiple extensions of the -teria of cafeteria, g…
