Language Policy and Multilingualism

Response to Sanford B. Steever's Review of A Reference Grammar of Spoken Tamil
Response to Sanford B. Steever’s Review of A Reference Grammar of Spoken Tamil Harold Schiffman Sanford Steever has written an extremely negative review (Language 78(2).314–16) of my1999 grammar. In fact it appears to me to be the most negative thing I have ever seen anywhere in any journal, in my entire academic career. The review’s criticisms can be divided into two categories. One is on the issue of copyediting, typographical errors, and other…

Simulation of Mental Deficiency: The Stupid-Reader Effect
Word Association: Variables Affecting Popular-Response Frequency
Normal Ss were given 54 Kent-Rosanoff word-association-test items in one of two different orders; antonym-eliciting items were concentrated either (a) near the beginning or (b) near the end of the list. For each order, testing was administered under three different test conditions: (a) standard free-association instructions, (b) instructions to give the response “most people” would give, and (c) “most people” instructions with a multiple-choice t…
