On the classification of stop consonants (1939)
The reprinted text entitled ‘On the classification of stop consonants’ was written by J. C. Catford, in original phonetic transcription, for the 1939 January–March issue (vol. 65) of Le Maître Phonétique and is an example of the article de fond type of contribution. J. C. (Ian) Catford (1917–2009) studied phonetics with Daniel Jones, Pierre Fouché and Marguerite Durand. He founded the School of Applied Linguistics in Edinburgh in the early 1950s.…
On Rs, rhotacism and paleophony
In his R-tickle, William Barry (Barry 1997: 35) invites others who may have pondered along similar lines 'to offer additional complementary or alternative views'. In somewhat belatedly accepting his invitation, I would like to make some remarks on trills, on 'molar r', and on rhotacism, followed by some thoughts on the question of the historical primacy of trill, at least within Indo-European

Language Learning and the Applied Linguistics: A Historical Sketch
This article reviews the history of applied linguistics together with the history of the journal Language Learning, indicating the journal's particular place in that larger history and honoring its 50th anniversary. I adopt a chronological perspective, starting from antiquity but focusing on developments in Europe and North America in the later 19th and 20th centuries. I offer evidence that from the late 1940s onward Language Learning played a di…
Glottal consonants … another view
I am in favor of letting [h] and [ɦ] stay where they are as glottal fricatives—honorary glottal fricatives, if you like! What the preceding paper says about them is true—there tends to be noticeable glottal turbulence with [h] only occasionally, particularly before open [a]-type vowels (or after them, in languages with final [h]'s). The voiced counterpart is perhaps more likely to have some turbulent glottal flow, being, in fact breathy or whispe…
A proposal concerning central vowels
The 1989 Kiel Convention made an unprincipled decision to ignore the basis of the Cardinal Vowel system, which specifies four ‘heights’ and three ‘horizontal’ locations for vowels, by ignoring close-mid and open-mid central vowels and proposing only two symbols for non-close central vowels, viz.
