Where Have All the Adjectives Come From? The Case of Cherokee
Proceedings of the Eleventh Annual Meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society (1985), pp. 207-215
Hausa glottalic consonants
The Chadic (Afroasiatic) language Hausa, spoken mainly in Nigeria and the Republic of Niger, has a series of 'glottalic' obstruents. This includes both ejectives ([k'], [s'] or [ts']; orthographic κ,ts) and two other consonants which have often been described as 'implosives' and are represented by the IPA symbols for implosives in Hausa orthography (б,d). In addition, there is a 'laryngealized' palatal glide (orthographic 'y). The description of …
Intonation and pragmatics
The aim of this essay is to argue that English intonation has broadly two functions. On the one hand it picks out a particular item or items in every sentence in order to give it or them semantic prominence; on the other hand, the pitch CONTOUR of an utterance also contributes to meaning and this contribution may itself be divided into two types: firstly, the height of pitch and the degree of its variation in a given utterance reflect speakers' '…
