Reading knowledge testing
This report covers one service of Linguistics to the University of Toronto School of Graduate Studies. Since July 1968 the SGS has routinely tested the French and the German reading abilities called for in each of the PhD supervising departments from Aerospace through Zoology, relieving the language departments of onerous burdens. Each department has chosen its own pass/fail standard; choices are alterable, especially downward without notice, fou…
Semantic Axiom Number One
The heuristic principle of empirical discovery in semantics, as in all other understanding, is here derived from the particular case of words apprehended as mysterious in their environment; it is the rule that the best guess is that one which maximizes the redundancy of word and environment together. But the environment cannot be exclusively delimited; it is partly wordy and partly wordless, partly factual and partly fictionally invented, partly …

The Medieval Sibilants
Modern West European languages (and their offshoots such as American English) generally have just one voiceless fortis sibilant phoneme /s/, whatever else there may be, such as /z, š, θ , c/. But in every considerable area at least two quite different [s] phones are in use, dorsal [ s ] and apical [ṣ]. The commoner variety is the dorsal [ s ]. In its articulation the tongue tip is idle (in persons with a ‘normal bite,‘ as the dentists say, the ti…

Acoustic Phonetics
This book is not, as its title may seem to promise, an authoritative survey of an established science. Acoustic phonetics is now in its infancy. The time when general agreement will be reached on its principles is still far in the future. That is, we are at that point of its development where the appropriate sort of publication, according to settled custom, would consist of numerous short articles by various workers, reporting on single discoveri…

Statistical Patterns in Gothic Phonology
Jellinek has presented lists of the Gothic consonant-clusters (excluding accidental clusters resulting from compounding, such as tg ), with notations of which clusters are found in only one word, but with no other remarks on frequency of occurrence. Dewey has gone a step further with English consonant-clusters: from his tables we learn how many times each cluster was found in his 100,000 words of sample texts. A different kind of frequency is rep…

The Psycho-Biology of Language
This is the third publication by Zipf on the theory and application of his principle of relative frequency in the structure and development of language.His first treatise on the subjectl applied the theory to accent and phonology, and laid the foundation which he still uses with inconsiderable modifications.It was reviewed, in a generally sympathetic spirit but with regretful refusal to agree that the problems attacked had been solved, by Elise R…
