Sound symbolism: Australia and Africa
Sound symbolism is the study of the relationship between the sound of an utterance and its meaning. In this interdisciplinary collection of new studies, twenty-four leading scholars discuss the role of sound symbolism in a theory of language. They consider sound symbolic processes in a wide range of languages from Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and North and South America. Beginning with an evocative typology of sound symbolic processes, they g…

Etymology
Etymology
Etymology has been largely neglected since the beginning of this century. Professor Yakov Malkiel here sets out to rescue it from its fate. He enquires into the style, structure, presuppositions, and purposes of etymological enquiries over the last two centuries, and sets them against the practice of etymology in Antiquity and the Middle Ages. He also examines the complex and changing interrelationship between etymology and general linguistics in…

Studies in the Transfer of a Word to a Different Lexical Family: The Case of Spanish apurar/apuro
mologists, it is nothing short of a miracle that, , I with a cluster of words as rich in semantic nearincompatibilities as has been the lexical group Nm centering about the verb apurar and its nominal offshoot apuro, there should nevertheless have prevailed for centuries a virtually complete unanimity of scholarly opinion. That this has actually been the case will at once follow from consultation of two sources chronologically as distant from eac…

Diachronic Problems in Phonosymbolism: Edita and Inedita, 1979–1988Volume I
Phonosymbolism, or sound symbolism (Lautsymbolik), is a vital ingredient of language growth. Many serious scholars, however, have regarded it with embarrassment or indifference. A cautious reintroduction of phonosymbolism as a factor responsible for changes undergone, in varying degrees, by most languages would now seem to be in order. The present volume brings together a number of recent articles on this subject, focusing mostly on problems from…

Drift, Slope, and Slant: Background of, and Variations upon, a Sapirian Theme
Aside from a few incidental references to ‘drift’, Sapir used this word in three significant contexts (once as a chapter heading in his 1921 book. Language); one discovers certain discrepancies among the scopes he attached to this key word on those separate occasions. Most of the doubts and dissensions among Sapir's contemporaries and successors are traceable to the fact that the discussants have not discriminated among those three pronouncements…

A Tentative Typology of Etymological Studies
Linguistics as a Genetic Science
I am designedly using the term ‘genetic’ rather than ‘historical’ in this context because, after having been for thirty years a devotee of the discipline conventionally labeled ‘historical linguistics’, I have at present grave misgivings about the unqualified suitability of the label and, far more important, I have become alert to the implications of its possible inappropriateness. To begin with, the label ‘history’, like many terms of ancient sc…
Lexical Polarization in Romance
Lexical polarization is used in this paper as a convenient label for the influence exerted by one word on its semantic opposite. In Classical Latin, for instance, DEXTER serves for ‘right’ and SINISTER for ‘left’. The ancient Romance expressions for ‘right’ are traceable to DEXTRU (to the extent to which DĪRĒCTU ‘straight’ or another rival word has not usurped its place), yet Romance equivalents of ‘left’, barring innovations, consistently presup…

Romance and Indo-European Linguistics in Italy
Whereas in other countries in which historical linguistics struck root in the past century it became customary, particularly after 1870, to cultivate Romance and Indo-European studies as two separate, exacting disciplines which few specialists would want to bridge, Italy - initially under the impulse of Graziadio Isaia Ascoli - went her own way, allowing, above all, her 'glottologi' and, on a minor scale, her 'filologi' to participate actively in…
Diphthongization, Monophthongization, Metaphony: Studies in Their Interaction in the Paradigm of the Old Spanish -IR Verbs
Whether or not he is familiar with the technical terms currently favored, or aware of the actual processes behind these terms, a speaker or student of Spanish, on some undefined level of consciousness, senses (or acts as if he sensed) the existence of such contrastable inflectional models as sent-ir ‘to feel’ : sient-e ‘(he, she, it) feels’ vs. ped-ir ‘to ask’ : pid-e ‘(he, she, it) asks’. The native speaker may even at some time or other have fa…

Paradigmatic Resistance to Sound Change: The Old Spanish Preterite Forms vide, vido against the Background of the Recession of Primary -d
It is a truism of diachronic linguistic theory that most historically transparent forms are explainable as compromises between sound shifts (the norm) and a wide range of analogical adjustments (the deviation from the norm). In practice, however, scholars have so far made only modest advances in their attempts at analyzing associative interferences with predictable linguistic change. Specifically, if numerous examples have been collected, often a…

This bio-bibliographical account of Georg Cohn (1866-194?) essays to sketch out the life of a Berlin Privatgelehrter at the end of the 19th and the early period of the 20th century. It characterizes the intellectual milieu of time and place, both inside and outside the vistas of Romance philology at the University of Berlin, and traces in particular the influence on Georg Cohn of scholars such as the general linguist, philosopher, and psychologis…

Studies in Hispano-Latin Homonymics: Pessulus, Pactus, Pectus, Dēspectus, Suspectus, Fistula in Ibero-Romance
In spite of the delay in the publication of a linguistic atlas of the Iberian Peninsula, the material which is gradually becoming available on individual dialects is so plentiful that lexical areas can be delimited with a fair degree of accuracy, and studies in the reconstruction of sequences of events may be undertaken with small risk. One such problem involves the spread (in the dimensions of space and time) of five entirely unrelated Latin wor…

The Development of -ivu in Latin and Romance
[The paper follows the development of the suffix -ivu in classical and medieval Latin and in the Romance languages, with the purpose of establishing the syntactic and semantic changes which it underwent and of determining the channels through which it filtered down from Latin into the vernaculars. Special attention is devoted to the substantival use of -ivu, as in Fr. l'objectif, l'initiative. See the summary at the end of the article.]

The Etymology of Portuguese Iguaria
[ Iguaria , recorded since the 14th century, is traced back to Late Latin iequāria ‘giblets’ and thus connected with the iecur family, reputedly extinct in Romance, where hēpar and * fīc tum replaced the traditional Latin word for ‘liver’. In conjunction with the proposed etymology, new theories and data are presented on controversial points of Portuguese historical grammar, including the development of initial yod and of pretonic e , the transmi…

The Etymology of Hispanic que(i)xar
[On the basis of a complete record of the word and of its derivatives in ancient and modern dialects, an attempt is made to link OSp. ( a)quexar ‘to press, to squeeze, to crush’ with OPtg. queixo , OSp. quex-ada , Cat. queix ‘jaw’ < capsu; the further semantic development shows no anomalies. In the course of the discussion of the suggested etymology, reference is made to questions of method in Romance word-studies; to contrasts between the Old Sp…
Old Judaeo-Spanish yegüería 'Mess, Dish
The derivation of Portuguese iguaria from Late Latin iecuāria , proposed LANG. 20.108-30, receives support from the discovery, in an ancient Judaeo-Spanish Bible translation (Escorial MS I.j.4 of the early 14th century, fol. 22a, line 35), of the two variant forms yguaria and yegueria , i.e. yegüería. The text is as yet unpublished; I owe knowledge of the passage under study to the courtesy of Professor O. H. Hauptmann, who has specialized in thi…

The Etymology of Hispanic vel(l)ido and melindre
[Old Spanish vellido, bellido and Old Galician-Portuguese velido ‘beautiful’ are retraced to Lat. mellītus ‘sweet like honey, beloved, darling’, with possible interference of bellus. Spanish and Portuguese melindre , Minhoto melingre ‘fritters made of honey’, later ‘daintiness, prudery’, are connected with mellīgō, -inis ‘honeysubstance’, used by Pliny. Two recorded Latin formations are thus added to the Romance lexicon.]

Spanish cosecha and Its Congeners
The etymology of Sp. cosecha ‘harvest’, cosechar ‘to reap’ has been repeatedly debated; a satisfactory solution remains to be provided. The word family involved is relatively small. Col. cosechero ‘tobacco grower’ and Argent. cosechadora ‘reaping machine’ are historically irrelevant derivatives. The variant form cosecho , identified in Puerto Rico, is worth remembering, since the Antilles are known to harbor numerous lexical archaisms. No less no…
