Lexical and syllabic patterns in phonological acquisition
Following Ferguson & Farwell (1975), this paper looks at phonological development in lexical terms and extends their method to consideration of syllables within words. Ferguson & Farwell dealt with word-initial consonants only; we attempt to determine whether the sets of phone classes in all positions are the same, whether differences that occur from position to position are primarily within the phone class or in the number and distribution of ph…

Jeremiah Curtin (1835-1906): His Life and Work as Linguist, Folklorist, and Translator
Jeremiah Curtin (1835-1906) was one of the outstanding linguistic field-workers of the 19th century, though much of his material remains in manuscript form. His scholarly reputation rests primarily on his activity as folklorist and translator of the works of Henryk Sienkiewicz (1846-1916), the Nobel Prize-winning novelist. Curtin was born in Detroit and brought up in the wilds of Wisconsin, where his parents, immigrants from Ireland, made a farm.…

Modules of Grammar Acquisition
A general framework for the study of the acquisition of grammar is proposed as a means toward a decision between competing theories, e.g. innate versus learned. The different functions of grammatical acquisition are distinguished as modules such that each represents a separate task for a comprehensive theory of the child's acquisition of grammar. The notion of an ‘analysis device’ is contrasted with that of a ‘behavior-contingent’ device. Some as…
On Some Axioms about Sentence Length
Some postulates concerning the length of sentences, as advanced by Noam Chomsky, are considered in the light not only of grammatical possibilities, but also of behavioral probabilities; and certain implications for linguistic theory are suggested
A Theory of the Child's Learning of Phonology
This paper presents a theory of the child's acquisition of the phonology of his native language. The theory predicts learning, measured by correct pronunciation of phones, as a function of ease of perception. The general prediction is that the more discriminable phones are learned earlier and the less discriminable ones later. Finally, the theory is compared with some previous suggestions in this field

Comparative Notes on Yoruba and Lucumí
Lucumí is a term here used to refer to a language spoken in Cuba by practitioners of the religion known as Santería. In Cuba both the santeros and the language are often called Lucumí, a form of which the origin has been discussed by William Bascom. Bascom seems to have been the first to assert positively that Lucumí is derived from Yoruba, a language of southwestern Nigeria. This view is supported by the folklore of Lucumí-speakers, which often …

Two Korean Villages: Culture Contact at the 38th Parallel
The term applied anthropology has come to refer to attempts to use specialized knowledge of a culture as an aid in solving problems that, in terms of our own culture, lie within the province of other disciplines, e.g., economics, political science, medicine, etc. Ordinarily the applied anthropologist is at a methodological disadvantage in that he cannot set up differing experiments to test alternative ways of dealing with a problem. His problems …

theory and method with the methods traditionally used in the study of this disorder, the reason may be sought in the relative novelty of the goal and in the very great difficulties presented by the field itself. As long ago as 1913, Pick' pointed out the desirable consequences of cooperation between psychologists, neurologists, and linguists in the study of aphasia; later investigators have usually paid lip-service to the notion. Jakobson's monog…

A Note on the Dialect of Regla, Cuba
most frequently in 'fast colloquial' speech. This may well account for their sporadic occurrence in other parts of Cuba, where better-educated speakers are aware of the pronunciation current in Spain, and tend to approximate it when on their best behavior. In unguarded moments, however, even they utilize the features here described. It may well turn out, therefore, that the Regla dialect has socio-economic correlations. It is also possible that, …

Palaihnihan and Shasta I: Labial Stops
A. L. Kroeber has contributed to Hokan studies to an extent not usually recognized by nonspecialists. Together with Dixon, he first discovered the genetic relationships of the group, then consisting of Karok, Chimariko, Shastan (including Palaihnihan), Pomo, Yana, Esselen, and Yuman. He later added Seri, Tequistlatec (cf. Kroeber), and (with Dixon 1919) Washo. Kroeber has also contributed important fieldwork: Sapir's early comparative work leans …
