English nominalizations in /-s
The morphology of English words like dependence, linguistics, and news suggests that English has an /-s/ suffix forming certain kinds of abstract nouns not used as plurals. While dependence and dependents are homophones, the former takes singular verb agreement, as do linguistics and news, and the latter takes plural. We argue that English has a highly productive derivational suffix /-s/ that creates abstract nouns from adjectives, dependence fro…
Assimilation to /r/ in English initial consonant clusters
THE RECENT Bulley-Davidson discussion of English initial consonant clusters ( ET80 , ET81 , ET83 ) brings attention to the need for phonetic rigor and some phonological understanding when describing the sounds and sound patterns of English. Three topics the two writers deal with would benefit from such rigor: /tr/ and /dr/ clusters, the status and function of /j/ in initial clusters before /u/, and the role of syllable structure in the descriptio…
Fortis and lenis obstruents in English
The primary contrast between obstruents in English has been described in alternative ways: either /p, t, t∫, k, f, θ, s, ∫/ are voiceless and /b, d, d3, g, v, ð, z, 3/ voiced, or the former set is fortis and the latter lenis. This paper reviews the phonetic properties of fortis sounds and draws together both published and new arguments for a basic fortis/lenis contrast in English obstruents. Rules are presented for phonetic and phonological alter…
Historical Linguistics
Belief, Community, and Technology on the Internet
Technological failure is usually seen as precluding success in computer network projects. In Jay County, Indiana, technological failure in a rural, county-wide community networking initiative did not get defined as such. Because we had turned what was first seen as a purely technical project into a community-wide discourse on technological needs and issues, technological failure simply did not matter
Use of cortisol as a stress marker: Practical and theoretical problems
Human biologists have shown increasing interest in the use of cortisol as an objective marker of stress in recent years. This paper reviews both practical and theoretical problems raised by this approach. The methodology of cortisol assessment using urine, saliva, and plasma is considered. There are many practical problems involved in obtaining good measures of cortisol, although the availability of salivary assays offers a promising way forward.…

Some Problems with Binary Features for Tone
Which That
Most grammarians have treated the word that , used in relative clauses, as a relative pronoun. However, its syntactic behavior is not at all like that of a pronoun, and therefore it must be a conjunction. Data from Standard English that -relatives and WH-relatives, non-Standard English that -relatives, and relative clauses in Dari (Kabul Persian) and Yoruba suggest that syntactic islands be added to the Keenan-Comrie Accessibility Hierarchy (1972…
