The poisonous potency of script: Hindi and Urdu
Hindi and Urdu are variants of the same language characterized by extreme digraphia: Hindi is written in the Devanagari script from left to right, Urdu in a script derived from a Persian modi®cation of Arabic script written from right to left. High variants of Hindi look to Sanskrit for inspiration and linguistic enrichment, high variants of Urdu to Persian and Arabic. Hindi and Urdu diverge from each other cumulatively, mostly in vocabulary, as …

Rule Insertion
The claim that Rule insertion—rule addition anywhere in the middle of a grammar—is a possible type of phonological change is considered and rejected. Some putative cases of Rule insertion are shown to reduce to rule re-orderings governed by revised constraints on re-ordering; others involve non-controversial rule addition prior to the phonetic rules of a grammar; remaining cases of apparent Rule insertion are the fictitious consequence of incorre…
“Triuwe” in Gottfried’s Tristan
Words do not seem to matter equally in different cultures. Nor do they matter equally to all people. It is therefore altogether appropriate that an essay honoring Martin Joos should deal with the meaning of a word in a Middle High German courtly epic; for there have been few cultures in which words counted for so much as in medieval German courtly society, and there are few people to whom words matter so much as Martin Joos. I mean this of course…

Introduction to Linguistics
Root versus suffix accent in the Germanic present indicative
The present paper is initially concerned with a rather minor problem in comparative Germanic morphology: the shape of the consonant in certain present active indicative endings. There are discrepancies among the early attested dialects in this matter, and the traditional explanation has been that one group of Germanic dialects generalized present forms with Indo-European root accent, the other group forms with Indo-European suffix accent. I show …
Functional Load and Sound Change
The idea that functional load offers a tool of potentially great explanatory power in diachronic linguistics is shared by a number of contemporary linguists, particularly those influenced at first or second hand by Prague. It is the purpose of the present paper to investigate the hypothesis that functional load plays a significant role in sound change. I will attempt to demonstrate that functional load, if it is a factor in sound change at all, i…
