Dementia and grammar in a polysynthetic language: An Arapaho case study
In dementia in inflecting and agglutinating languages, morphosyntax is much better preserved than lexical access or pragmatics, but little is known about how dementia affects language in polysynthetic agglutinating languages with their complex verb morphology. Fortuitously, a series of narratives by a skilled Arapaho storyteller includes sessions from late in his life, when he was evidently dementing. Verb forms and clausal connectors in the spea…

Up close and personal: A case study of the development of three English fillers
As Peters (2001) has suggested, the young child's use of fillers seems to indicate awareness of distributionally-defined slots in which some as yet unidentified material belongs. One may view a filler as an emergent transitional form; as a slot that serves as an underspecified lexical entry for the accumulation of phonological and functional information; or as prosodic ‘sentence padding’. We trace the development of three fillers in one English-a…
Commentary on ‘Filler syllables: What is their status in emerging grammar?’ by Ann Peters
Peters sets up a very useful initial structure for classifying elements which are not yet well-defined morphemes, especially those that seem to be modelled phonologically on adult functors. Some of these primitive elements (pre-morphological items) have neither semantic content nor distributional properties that correspond to any adult morpheme, while the more advanced (protomorphological) items have begun to take on some of the syntactic/semanti…
Babies, buzzsaws and blueprints: Commentary on review article by Sabbagh & Gelman
The review article by S&G seems to me to take a very useful stance: basically friendly but gently quizzical. My linguistics doctoral seminar gave their review the same reception; we enjoyed many of the insights but thought that a few of the assumptions, mostly ones that are common in certain types of language acquisition studies, should be respectfully challenged
Non-Fluent Aphasia in a Multilingual World
“Non-fluent Aphasia in a Multilingual World” is an up-to-date introduction to the language of patients with non-fluent aphasia. Recent research in languages other than English has challenged our old descriptions of aphasia syndromes: while their patterns can be recognized across languages, the structure of each language has a profound effect on the symptoms of aphasic speech. However, the basic linguistic concepts needed to understand these effec…

False Starts and Filler Syllables: Ways to Learn Grammatical Morphemes
Since Brown 1973, the study of the acquisition of the items generally referred to as ‘grammatical morphemes’ has tended to focus on inferring the linguistic and cognitive factors governing the ORDER in which these items reach some designated level of acquisition. What is less often addressed is the PROCESS of acquisition of these common inflections and closed-class functors: how it unfolds, why children learning the same language take such differ…

Agrammatic Aphasia: A cross-language narrative sourcebook
This major reference work fills a need long recognized in neurolinguistics: a source for analyzable speech transcripts from agrammatic aphasic patients that provides detailed grammatical descriptions and distributional analyses. This 3-volume set is unique in that it presents narrative speech from carefully selected clinically comparable patients, speakers of 14 languages, and parallel narratives by normal speakers. For each of the 14 languages t…

The Repeated Morph Constraint: Toward an Explanation
Many languages use haplology, suppletion, and the blocking of derivations to achieve avoidance of ‘accidental’ repetition of surface morphs. At the same time, many languages permit accidental repetition and even encourage ‘deliberate’ repetition through reduplication. Strong universal constraints against morph repetition therefore fail. This furthermore implies the inadequacy of accounts of morphological processes in terms of matching templates o…
Fundamental Frequency and Discourse Structure
The height of clause-peak fundamental frequency (normalized across speakers) was taken as the physical correlate of an observer's global impression of the relative pitch height of utterances embedded in a natural conversation. Normalized clause-peak fundamental frequency ( F o ) is shown to be a reflection (and is conjectured to be a signal) of discourse structure in a sample of over 1700 clauses taken from 16 laboratory-playroom parent-child con…
