Participation in evolution and sustainability
The modern synthesis of genetics with evolution slanted our understanding of evolution and of ourselves by rejecting Darwin’s view of animals as participating in their own evolution. Defining evolution in terms of genetics, the modern synthesis indulges excessive individualism and distorted self‐images as self‐made. At the same time, such gene‐centred thought, evoking images of master molecules making us who we are, hollows out volition and so al…
Isolating connections – connecting isolations
The varied and distinct ways we connect can facilitate or impose isolation, our own or someone else's. Different forms of isolation are themselves interconnected and sometimes enrich our connecting. The relation between isolation and connection, we argue, is one of complementarity, like Calvino's ‘two inseparable and complementary functions of life ...syntony, or participation in the world around us ... [and] focalization or constructive concentr…

Professions, occupations, and quasi-professions use cohesive vocabularies which allow the members of each group to communicate with one another more rapidly and easily. For example, speaking with golfers, we expect to hear terms like tee, putt, birdie, niblick and spoon. Concepts with a high frequency of occurrence often are expressed with abbreviations, clipped forms, word blends, and so on. In addition, members of these groups will use names in…
Cheating Terms in Cards and Dice
FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS, I have been assembling the data base for a proposed Dictionary of Gaming and Gambling. number of entries stands today at about twenty thousand items; of these, nearly ten percent are terms for and about cheating. This article classifies and defines terms for cheating only at cards or dice. distribution of terms in various categories sheds light on particular areas in gambling where cheating occurs most frequently. Whethe…

An Objective Method for the Spectrographic Analysis of Sounds
A manual technique for rapidly and accurately scoring sound spectrograms is presented. The method allows for objective phonetic description and evaluation without the aid of either a highly-trained scorer or complex processing equipment. Empirical evidence using the technique is presented
From Marietta to Mobile
Elicitation in Linguistic Fieldwork
HIS PAPER is divided into two parts.1 The first is devoted to general principles that we might keep in mind while preparing for and conducting taped interviews. The second part is a kind of elicitory Hints from Heloisepractical suggestions for some common points in interviewing situations and how to get a little more from the interview. Relatively few universitites presently have a course in field methods in linguistics, though many schools offer…
