Games with Names in Midnight's Children
In Midnight's Children, Salman Rushdie integrates the meanings of names into the fabric of the novel itself, overtly points out many of his games with names, and even makes bilingual jokes with the names he uses. The origins of Rushdie's hundreds of names and nicknames reflect the multicultural background of India and Pakistan

Chinese given names, best considered lexical, rather than onomastic, items, often reflect political, social, and cultural conditions at the time of naming. An investigation of the given names of four groups of Chinese students born in 1966, 1973, 1979, and 1981 reveals great differences between the names of those born early in the Cultural Revolution and those born later. The investigation also reveals differences between names for males and fema…

Pronominal Case in Shakespearean Imperatives
Elizabethan English in general and Shakespearean English in particular frequently uses pronouns in imperative constructions. The use of these pronouns has no correlation with the age, sex, or social status of the speaker, although Shakespeare does employ certain types of such constructions to indicate dialectal or foreign speech. The pronouns always follow the verb. In the case of constructions with periphrastic do, the pronoun follows do and pre…
