Theme-Attraction and Bound Verbs in Southern Wakashan
The present article addresses the issue of the existence of noun incorporation in the Southern Wakashan languages of the Pacific Northwest. There have been a number of proposals for treating a process in the languages that combines elements of a theme argument with a bound verbal element. None of these previous treatments account for the full range of data surrounding this phenomenon in this family of languages. This article introduces new data f…
An Early 20th Century Korean Phonetic Alphabet
In this paper, we examine early efforts in English language education in Korea, focusing on a student’s glossary of Chinese characters that contains Mandarin Chinese, English, and Japanese glosses of the meanings of each character. This book, the Ahak Pyeon, employs a modified version of the Korean Hangul writing system in order to phonetically render the English words, thereby facilitating the acquisition of English pronunciation for Korean lear…
Middle Korean ᅀ and the Cheju dialect
All records of Middle Korean are exclusively in the Central dialect, the prestige form spoken in the capital, and all printed material in the newly-created Hangǔl script emanated from there. For this reason, historical studies must rely on modern dialect data for comparison and reconstruction, since there are virtually no early dialect materials. In this study, I investigate the nature of the MK ᅀ, which is most often realized as /Ø/ in Modern St…
Verb-Argument Composition in Nuuchahnulth
Nuuchahnulth, a Southern Wakashan language spoken on the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada, frequently forms complex, composite predicates. Previous accounts of this phenomenon have described it as either a type of (noun) incorporation or as denominal verb formation, in both cases due to the fact that it involves the combining with the verb of an external element originating in the object. The focus of this article is to present the facts of…
Labialization in Nuuchahnulth
In this article we examine the phonetic properties of labialization in Nuuchahnulth, a Southern Wakashan language spoken on Vancouver Island. Given the moribund status of this language, we make use of available archival materials from the early twentieth century along with more recent recordings in order to ascertain the exact nature of the process. Early work on this language was conducted by Edward Sapir, who transcribed data in a more or less …
Nuuchahnulth Double Reduplication and Stratal Optimality Theory
Multiple reduplication is rare: the most often cited case is that of Salish double reduplication, which has been analyzed within the framework of Optimality Theory. For this reason, the simple and double reduplication processes found in Nuuchahnulth (Nootka) have theoretically interesting consequences for current models of morphology. This article demonstrates that Nuuchahnulth double reduplication challenges the standard, parallelist optimality …
On the Inherent Complexity of Language
The Nuuchahnulth language of Vancouver Island is a morphologically complex language which makes extensive use of both polysynthesis and incorporation. Furthermore, it exhibits a typologically unusual number system which may best be described as split decimal/ vigesimal. However, the most fascinating aspect of these properties is the complex interaction that takes place when numbers are incorporated into the verb. This paper will examine this inte…
Learning Morphology
Focusing on one textbook, F. Katamba's Morphology, this review article examines basic desiderata and pitfalls of textbook-writing for the neophyte in morphology and in linguistics in general. A number of fundamental issues are addressed: coverage, tenninology, readability, consistency, referencing, and accuracy. A few hazards in writing introductory textbooks are highlighted, such as the presentation of a number of alternative theories before a s…
