  • Comparative analysis of management practices and end-users' desired breeding traits in the miracle plant [Synsepalum dulcificum (Schumach & Thonn.) Daniell] across ecological zones and sociolinguistic…

    Background Understanding end-users' preferred breeding traits and plant management practices is fundamental in defining sound breeding objectives and implementing a successful plant improvement programme. Since such knowledge is lacking for Synsepalum dulcificum, a worldwide promising orphan fruit tree species, we assessed the interrelationships among socio-demography, ecology, management practices, diversity and ranking of desired breeding trait…

    Sprachliche Aspekte sozio-politischer Schlagwörter Soziale und politische Bewegungen setzen sich in eine ihnen eigene Terminologie um, die einerseits das Bild der jeweiligen Bewegung vermittelt und andererseits die Grundlage für ihre Deutung bildet. Die Terminologie ist also sowohl der Wortführer der Bewegung wie auch ihre Dokumentation. Wir betrachten hier typische Termino-logien von vier Standpunkten, mit Beispielen aus der abendländischen Gesc…

  • Decline and Survival of Western Prestige Languages

    Henry, Henry Kahane et al.ARTICLELanguage1979Cited by: 9

    Six case histories establish a typology of the rise, recession, and hidden survival of Western prestige languages: Greek in Rome, Latin in Byzantium, Anglo-Norman/Anglo-French, Medieval Latin, Alamode in Germany, and Puristic in modern Greece. A pattern evolves: the diglossic system of higher and lower levels, which reflects a class society, is strangled by the low level, which expands under popular pressures. The elite language declines but it d…

  • Virtues and Vices in the American Language: A History of Attitudes

    Henry Kahane, Renée KahaneARTICLETESOL Quarterly1977

    The two centuries of America's national existence can be viewed from many angles. Our view is that of the sociolinguist; and we shall present a metalinguistic report, i.e., not a sketch of the development of the language itself as a mirror of societal development, but a description of the changing attitudes, from the early days of the Republic to the present, of linguists and linguistically oriented intellectuals toward the language level used or…

  • Christian and Un-Christian Etymologies

    Open AccessHenry Henry, Renée KahaneARTICLEHarvard Theological Review1964

    As far as form is concerned, the gap between Lat. abyssus , “abyss,” and its nasalized Romance congeners of the type abism -is difficult to explain. The two prevalent interpretations are somewhat artificial and unsatisfactory. They are presented by Wartburg, who postulates analogy to the suffix - ismus (Französisches etymologisches Wörterbuch [FEW], I, 11), and by Corominas, who posits a basis * abyssissimus reduced to * abissimus (Diccionario cr…

    COROMINASDRAWS ATTENTION! to a form-meaning variant 'of Span.grado 'grade': "La acepcion 'puerto en la desembocadura de un rio' se desarrollo en catalan y en la lengua de Oc, partiendo del escalon que forma la barra; del cat.grau se tomo el cast.grao."This explanation is perhaps too limited, both in terms of time and of space; the word in question can be put in a tradition and analyzed on a Mediterranean scale.We suggest as a starting point Gr.kU…

    ND NAMES CONSTITUTE an intricate chapter in onomatology. In spatial terms, they illustrate phenomena of acculturation, of borrowing and wandering; in chronological terms, they often preserve old material and reveal interesting patterns of innovation; in semantic terms, they perpetuate varied concepts of time, location, or orientation. Occasionally, the names are so closely connected with the area of the origin of the winds that, genetically at le…

    The present study is an attempt to describe, in terms of form, the position of the actor expression in the colloquial Spanish of present-day Mexico. Regional, social, and chronological differences are disregarded, provided the material observed belongs, in the writers' opinion, to the colloquial form of speech. Procedure. The material was collected during a stay in Mexico, from June 1948 to February 1949.1 We gathered literary examples from nine …

  • Two Romance Etymologies

    Henry Kahane, Renée KahaneARTICLELanguage1944

    Since Muratori, there have been several attempts to explain etymologically Ital. pozzánghera ‘mud-puddle’. The following ones stand out: 1. Caix identifies pozzánghera with Emilian pociacra and traces both back to Lat. * puteacula. 2. Meyer-Lübke considers it a derivative from puteus , but leaves it with the remark: ‘mit unerklärtem Ausgang’. 3. Gamillscheg sees the etymon in Langob. putz-angar ‘versumpfter Platz’, supporting his theory by geogra…
