The Linguistic Society of America and North American Linguistics, 1950-1968
The author, Secretary-Treasurer of the Linguistic Society of America during the crucial phase of the post-World War II growth of linguistics as an autonomous academic speciality, 1950-1968, reports on the events that shaped the LSA and the discipline in North America in general. Whereas the Society counted only 829 members, individual and institutional, in 1950, the total number had risen to 4,375 by 1968. The author narrates, in a year-by-year m…

The Habituative Aspect of Verbs in Black English, Irish English, and Standard English
A Hierarchy of Drills
The O'Connor-Twaddell formulation of the stages of language teaching and drill sets up five stages-recognition, imitation, repetition, variation, and selection-a pentad that has been widely accepted and used. This paper presents the view that the pentad should be considerably elaborated. The stages proposed are: (1) Discrimination, in which the students are asked only to say whether 'That's a big cut,' and 'That's a big cot' are the same or diffe…
The Green Knight’s castle and the translators
One of the particularly fine passages in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is the description of the Castle when Gawain first sees it. Yet when one studies the way in which translators have handled it, one finds that many modern versions seem unnecessarily colourless, and others though more colourful, are freer than needful. I have consequently gathered a fairly full sampling of modern versions of the passage, with the purpose of searching for poss…

Linguistics Today
Laymen, Lexicographers, and Linguists
The American Heritage dictionary , in calling on a ‘Usage panel’ to give opinions on matters of disputed usage, has developed a technique close to that of jury testing, with juries made up of naïve expert speakers, as used by linguists. The Heritage points the way to satisfying public demand for adherence to standards of correctness, so-called. The technique, however, needs to be more rigorously and consistently applied. Jury testing can also be …

The Current Relevance of Bloch's 'Postulates
The continuing relevance of Bernard Bloch's ‘Postulates for phonemic analysis’ lies in the facts that they point to the basis of the minimal-pair identification test, the most powerful tool in phonological analysis, and that they further point to the basic necessity of sound-discrimination in the development of human language

A Postulate for Linguistics in the Sixties
The approach to language study represented by postulates and corollaries was once the basis of Bloomfieldian linguistics, yet it is now somewhat out of fashion. Sets of postulates have a tendency to grow in number and unwieldiness, and transformational investigators favor a more operational analysis and statement. Yet transformational study itself rests upon a postulate which is at present implicit. Stated without setting it into the Euclidian la…

The Use of Dictionaries in Language Teaching
This article consists of extracts from a paper entitled "Some Possible Improvements in English Dictionaries," which was read before the Linguistic Society of America at its summer meeting in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We are reproducing here three parts of the paper which we believe will be of help in clarifying the thinking of teachers as to what their dictionary needs are in language teaching and as to how present dictionary facilities can be used to…
A Survey of Accomplishments and Trends in Research in Present-Day English
nESEARCH IN PRESENT-DAY English, as all who are interested in the field are aware, is vigorous and profitable. Dialectology, the subdivision of the field that comes first to mind, is represented happily by continuing work on the Linguistic Atlas. Funds for the completion of field work in New York State by Raven I. McDavid have been secured, and further work in the Middle West is being carried on by Harold B. Allen, Albert H. Marckwardt, and other…

Juncture and Syllable Division in Latin
There have been a number of successful attempts, such as Kent's, to explain variations in scansion or in the development of Vulgar Latin forms in terms of variations in syllable division. It is also rather commonly accepted that Latin had some means of marking word boundaries—that is to say, had a juncture phoneme. There has not been (to my knowledge at least) any attempt to put syllable division and juncture together in a systematic fashion, to …

The Audibility of /
The recent article in The Journal of the Canadian Linguistic Association by Professors Robinson, Theall, and Wevers represents a pleasant and fruitful discussion of issues on which it is important to increase communication and understanding. I believe that it may also increase understanding if I point out that there was an unfortunate error in Introduction to Linguistic Structures , and that on the basis of my own statements I am quite properly t…
