Victor Erice’s Film The Spirit of the Beehive: A Coded Warning Against Submission in the Aftermath of the Spanish Civil War
This essay discusses Victor Erice’s film The Spirit of the Beehive in terms of issues relevant to psychoanalysis today: the impact of socio-political trauma on the psyche. Through his cinematic artform, Erice captures the isolation and emotional deadness of village life in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War which we discuss in terms of the contemporary interest in intergenerational transmission of trauma as well as the expansion of the psycho…
The Crosslinguistic Study of Language Acquisition
Capturing what remains: A commentary on Kidd and Garcia (2022)
Kidd and Garcia remind us of the urgency of gathering comparable child language data across languages and cultures. They provide useful guidelines, and more are suggested here. Languages used for comparative analysis should be picked with regard to precise typological contrasts, pinpointing structures that promise to reveal processes of acquisition. Our knowledge gap may not be as severe as it seems to the authors; nevertheless, we are faced with…
Susan Ervin-Tripp (1927–2018)
This article memorializes Susan Ervin-Tripp (1927-2018). Ervin-Tripp earned a doctoral degree in social psychology in 1955 from the University of Michigan. Her dissertation examined the link between bilingualism and cognition, which led her to a career in psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics, two fields that she helped to establish. She worked on the Southwest Project in Comparative Psycholinguistics and studied effects of Native American langu…

Before the beginning: The development of tools of the trade
Before the beginning of the Journal of Child Language in 1974 three technological innovations had set the stage for a fundamental expansion and revision of our understanding of the processes of child language acquisition. Portable audio and video recorders changed both the quantity and quality of data. Computers made it possible to store and search large corpora, to rapidly carry out statistical analyses of the distribution of linguistic forms an…
Manners of human gait: A crosslinguistic event-naming study
Crosslinguistic studies of expressions of motion events have found that Talmy's binary typology of verb-framed and satellite-framed languages is reflected in language use. In particular, Manner of motion is relatively more elaborated in satellite-framed languages (e.g., in narrative, picture description, conversation, translation). The present research builds on previous controlled studies of the domain of human motion by eliciting descriptions o…

Language and Thought Online: Cognitive Consequences of Linguistic Relativity
The voluminous literature on linguistic relativity has concerned itself primarily with the search for influences of particular languages on nonlinguistic cognition in situations in which language is not being used, overtly or covertly. This represents a long tradition in which anthropologists, psychologists, and linguists have sought to relate grammatical and semantic systems of a language to the worldview or epistemology or culture of the commun…

The Child as a linguistic icon-maker
Crosslinguistic child language data show children prefer unifunctional and analytic grammatical forms, as reflected in explicit morphosyntactici and syntactic variability of sentence forms

Children use canonical sentence schemas: A crosslinguistic study of word order and inflections
Rules and Schemas in the Development and Use of the English past Tense
Consistent error patterns in English past-tense forms are reported for three age groups: preschoolers, 8–10-year-olds, and adults. It is argued that, although irregular forms are rote-learned, speakers make generalizations about such forms. Such a generalization is defined as a schema which describes general phonological properties of a morphological class, and is used in organizing and accessing the lexicon. Schemas for the English past tense de…
Effects of Turkish Language Reform on Person Perception
As a result of Turkish language reform, modern Turkish spans a range of styles from traditional to reformed. This range has political implications, in that traditional vocabulary is preferred by right-wing, traditionalist, and religious sectors of the population, while reformed terms are preferred by left-wing, modernist, and secular sectors. Turkish students were presented with matched pairs of paragraphs, differing only in use of traditional or…
The development of locative expressions in English, Italian, Serbo-Croatian and Turkish
The ability of children between the ages of 2; 0 and 4; 8 to produce locative pre- or postpositions was investigated in English, Italian, Serbo-Croatian, and Turkish. Across languages, there was a general order of development: (1) ‘in’, ‘on’, ‘under’, and ‘beside’, (2) ‘between’, ‘back’ and ‘front’ with featured objects, (3) ‘back’ and ‘front’ with non-featured objects. This order of development is discussed in terms of nonlinguistic growth in co…

Toward A History of Soviet Psychology: A Set of Bibliographies
Works on the history of psychology have been considered in several general reviews of current developments in Soviet psychology (Brozek, 1962, 1964). Both reviews cover a broad area of research and publishing activity. They list the original Russian publications, translations into English, and papers by English-speaking scientists
