Telling general linguists about Altaic
The hypothesis of an Altaic language family, comprising the Turkic, Mongolic, Tungusic, Korean and, in most recent versions, Japanese languages continues to be a viable linguistic proposal, despite various published claims that it is no longer accepted. A strong body of research continues to appear, developing and refining the hypothesis, along with publications that argue against a demonstrated relationship among these languages. This paper show…
Sephardic Scansion and Phonological Theory
In the Hebrew poetry of medieval Spain the conjunction u- 'and' is metrically anomalous, scanning sometimes as long and sometimes as short. Malone (1983) argued that, although the behavior of u- is irregular if it is examined in concrete, phonetic terms, it falls in with the general metrical pattern of Sephardic poetry if analyzed at a more abstract level of phonological representation. Malone's treatment of Sephardic Hebrew, along with similarly…
Current Issues in Linguistic Taxonomy
The genealogical classification of languages has been the subject of investigation for more than two centuries, and progress continues to be made in deepening our understanding of language change, both in theoretical terms and in the study of specific language families. In recent years, as in the past, many new proposals of linguistic relationships have been constructed, some promising to various degrees and others clearly untenable. The debate a…

Yiddish Origins
Parmi les differentes suggestions avancees en ce qui concerne le lieu de naissance du yiddish, l'une d'entre elles considere que le yiddish est apparu dans la partie du monde germanophone occupe par les dialectes austro-bavarois. Plus particulierement, King montre que le dialecte de fondation du yiddish est l'austro-bavarois avec un petit melange d'allemand central de l'est et que les varietes rhenanes de l'allemand n'ont pas contribue a la struc…

Logic and philology
Our purpose is simple: to apply a rudimentary kind of logical analysis to the problem, which sometimes arises in linguistic typology and in comparative linguistics, of whether there are any languages with fewer than two vowels. The principal reason why this question has occupied the attention of linguists is probably the fact that Proto-Indo-European is sometimes said to have had only one vowel phoneme (see especially Hjelmslev (1936–7), Borgstrø…
Stefan George and phonological theory
Ever since Baudouin de Courtenay (e.g. 1917 [1990: 500]), the founder of phonology, it has been customary for every new phonological theory to make claims about the particular level(s) at which rules of versification may refer to phonological representations. Baudouin himself, for example, took rhyming to be evidence of phonemic identity. The birth of generative phonology thus led to a series of claims that rules of versification may have access …

Proto-Uto-Aztecan Phonology
Proto-Uto-Aztecan *pi "younger sister" → "great-grandmother
Detailed linguistic work, involving both internal and comparative reconstruction, traditionally has been an important source of information about the cultural history of nonliterate peoples. Such work, in turn, depends on descriptive materials obtained in the field, but, as native languages evolve or disappear, it becomes increasingly necessary to resort to philological methods more familiar from the study of literate cultures. As Ives Goddard re…
