• A Comparison of the Dialects of Bloomsdale, Missouri, and Prairie du Rocher, Illinois. Barbara

Carrow, Univ. of Missouri, Columbia.— Bloomsdale and Prairie du Rocher are two tiny towns near the Mississippi River, eight miles from each other as the crow flies but as much as 60 miles apart when the Ste. Genevieve, Mo., ferry isn’t run­ning. Yet the speech of both towns is virtually the same, and both can be considered part of the North- ern/North Midland St. Louis speech area. Bloomsdale’s core was made up of French and Ger­man immigrants who spoke their native languages even into the 20th century, and English was probably introduced by teachers with Northem/North Midland speech. The fact that Southerners were the first En­glish-speaking settlers of the area did not seem to matter. As Frazer posits, the German settlers in par­ticular may have tended to imitate the Yankees among them, seeing them as the more prestigious group.

• The M idland W est of the Alleghenies.Lawrence M. Davis, Wichita State Univ., and Charles L. Houck, Ball State Univ.—In American Speech for Spring 1992, we showed, using regres­sion analysis, that linguistic atlas data do not support the positing of a separate identity for the Midland dialect area. Instead, we found that a large section of the eastern United States can be understood better as a linear transition area between Northern and South­ern. This paper will look at the evidence between the Alleghenies and the Rockies. We will make four “cuts” of ten localities each from north to south in order to test the Midland hypothesis.

• Perceptions about Linguistic Correctness in Middletown. Veronika Horvath, Ball State Univ.—I compiled a questionnaire which contains 44 English sentences and asks the respondents to give their first reactions to them as “good,” “bad” or “undecided.” The questionnaire was sent to 400 randomly selected addresses/in Muncie, Indiana, and 109 were re­turned. There were no significant correspondences between the subjects’ linguistic judgments and their age or sex, but differences in educational back­ground accounted for some of the differences in the subjects’ opinions. For example, judgments about

Allen Walker Read. {See Page 7.)

While the Modern Language Association in all its majesty meets at the grand New York Hilton and Sheraton New York, the ADS clan will reside in suites at a new intimate Irish gem, the Fitzpatrick Manhattan Hotel. At 687 Lexington Avenue, between 56th and 57th, the Fitzpatrick has all the comforts of home: terrycloth bathrobes, whirlpool baths, nightly turndown with chocolates and sparkling water, 24-hour concierge, and multiple telephones with call waiting and voice mail. ADS members who call (800) 367-7701 for reservations before December 13 will get the ADS rate of $90 a night (plus tax) (instead of the usual $210-$270) for a Manhattan Suite, single or double occupancy. The special rate extends as much as a week before and after our meeting. (For a brochure on the hotel, write or call the Executive Secretary.)

The Word for 1992In 1990 it was bushlips. Last year it was mother of

all —. Will the New Word (or Phrase) of the Year 1992 be in the loop, intact family, carjacking, you people, lookism, smiley, nab si Maybe Not!

The choice is yours if you attend our annual unsolemn New Word session at 6 p.m. Tuesday, December 29 (see p. 5). John and Adele Algeo and David Barnhart will bring their nominations; others will be accepted from the floor, and a vote taken on the most original, most amazing, most useful, most unnecessary, most outrageous, and most likely to succeed, as well as the overall Word of the Year.

B.Y.O.B.Again this year the New Words session will be

followed by a Bring-Your-Own-Book Exhibit (7-8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 29). Tables will be available to display your books and order forms. We hope to find a sponsor for a refreshments with the exhibit.

Nominations for OfficesIn the election to be held at the Annual Business

Meeting (p. 6), the Nominating Committee proposes: for Vice President 1993-94, succeeding to the presi­dency 1995-96, Lawrence M. Davis of Wichita State University; for Executive Council 1993-96, Silke Van Ness of the State University of New York at Albany; for member of the Nominating Committee 1993-94, Donald M. Lance of the University of Mis­souri, Columbia.

Additional nominations may be made by a peti­tion with the signature of at least ten members, which must reach the Executive Secretary by Dec. 15.

Fitzpatrick’s is not a convention hotel, so by spe­cial arrangement most of our meetings will be half a block away at the Atrium Club, 1157 East 57th Street, where members may also arrange to exercise their physical fitness.

Annual Meeting Program Monday, December 28

MLA Session 2997:15-8:30 p.m., Morgan Suite A & B, New York Hilton

Yankees, Philologians, and the Folk: 150 Years of American Dialects.

ADS-sponsored session at the annual meeting of the Modern Language Association. MLA registra­tion required ($75 for members before December 7). Write MLA Convention Office, 10 Astor Place, New York NY 10003-6981; phone (212) 614-6372.

Presiding: ADS President Michael D. Linn, Univ. of Minnesota, Duluth.

• James Russell Lowell’s Yankee Dialect (1843): Fiction or Authentic? Herbert Penzl, Univ. of California, Berkeley.—The great success of Lowell’s dialectal Biglow Papers (First Series 1843) was due to his accurate observation and skillful rep­resentation. The humorous use of the New England rural dialect, e.g. in the letter to the editor of a paper, was fiction, but the reaction of his readers, among them Charles Grandgent, showed it to be authentic and correct in its forms and features. Dialectal relics

(Continued from Page 3) in the Linguistic Atlas of New England recordings of modern times have confirmed the accuracy of Lowell’s Yankee dialect.

• H.L. Mencken and Louise Pound: A Chapter in American Linguistic History. Connie Eble, Univ. of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.—Julie Tetel Andresen’s Linguistics in America 1769-1924: A Critical History (1990) shows that from colonial times America had a socio-political conception of language distinct from European models that con­strued language as an autonomous system. Andresen includes H.L. Mencken and Louise Pound as 20th- century representatives of the older American way of thinking about language. In its four editions Mencken’s The American Language captured the ex­pansive spirit of America in long lists of place names, terms for foods, regional expressions, euphe­misms, nicknames, lingos of marginal groups, sole­cisms and neologisms which Mencken collected in his vast reading and correspondence. With Mencken and her former student Arthur G. Kennedy, Pound

began the journal American Speech in 1925 and was its editor for the first five years. I propose to examine the relationship between these two most important proponents of American English, seeking to place them and their work in the American tradition of language study described by Andresen.

• This Is What We Think: Folk Perceptions of Dialect Regions. Donald M. Lance, Univ. of Mis­souri, Columbia.—Intrigued by Dennis Preston’s “perceptual maps” representing composites of stu­dents’ folk beliefs about locations and names of re­gional dialects, I collected similar responses from a class at the University of Missouri in January 1992. He abstracts out their notions of dialect boundaries; my Pro Atlas software gives me a combination of their notions of dialect and geography. Their studied line-drawing suggests geographical rather than lin­guistic bias, but their labels and comments indicate that they have dialect/accent in mind. I have sent maps and instructions to 25 colleagues around the U.S. and will compare their students’ responses with mine.

“The Concept of ‘Quasi-standard’ Forms in Lan­guage.”—“Quasi-standard” forms are those not gen­erally considered standard by most speakers of a language and thus treated as nonstandard in descrip­tive studies. However, speakers of certain dialects think of these forms as standard and thus use them even when attempting to speak the standard. I exam­ine related ideas from Japanese socio-dialectology such as Takesi Sibata’s original concept of “chihoo- kyootsuugo” (“regional common language”) and Fumio Inoue’s “kizukanai hoogen” (“unnoticed dia­lect”). I draw on examples from my research in the Osaka dialect region of Japan and incorporate ex­amples from Southern U.S. English.

• About ‘Concerned with’. Allan Metcalf, Mac- Murray Coll.—An extended usage of the preposition about, first attested in 1982 (OED2), has in the past year or two flowered among the fashionable and famous in America. It is exemplified in natural- foods restaurateur Alice Waters’ statement, “Food is not just about a party. It’s about a quality of life.” This about is clearly a descendant and chic conden­sation of the “what it’s all about” so characteristic of the 1960s. The equivalents concerned with, a matter of, involves, comes down to and has to do with pale before this about and hence are losing out to it in situations expressing sure knowledge of trends and essences.

• Unity in Oral, Written and Hyperdocument Texts. Kim Sydow Campbell, Auburn Univ. of Florida.—This paper will report the results of a qualitative analysis of unity in oral, written, and hyperdocument versions of related instructional texts. It will include attention to both linguistic (se­mantic, phonological and syntactic) and non-linguis- tic (visual and rhetorical/pragmatic) elements. The theory of unity presented here is founded on Gestalt principles which account for the perception of visual shapes and auditory tones in certain predictable ways.

• The Intrepid Lexicographer: Writing Popu­lar Reference Books. Christine Ammer, Lexington, Mass.—There are seven basic steps for writing a popular reference book: 1) pick a subject, preferably with a particular audience in mind; 2) invent a good

title; 3) decide what you want to include in the book and make an outline, an entry list, or a detailed table of contents; 4) write a few pages of text; 5) sell the idea to a publisher, preferably one whose general- interest reference books are on the shelves of most bookstores and who keeps books in print; 6) get a big advance against royalties and a favorable contract; 7) last and practically least, write the book. You don’t have to be pedantic to be informative and accurate; all you need do is communicate your own fascination with words.

• Recent Japanese Borrowings into English.Garland Cannon, Texas A&M Univ.—This paper will consider phonological, semantic, grammatical and other aspects of borrowings from the Japanese, including labeling, phonetic transfer vs. total or par­tial translation, and frequency of occurrence in the latest desk dictionaries. (See the list in NADS 24.1, p.13.)

• Stylistic Aspects of Spanish Borrowings in the Anglo-American Press. Felix Rodriguez Gonzalez, Univ. of Alicante, Spain.—This paper aims to throw into relief the growing use of Spanish borrowings in the Anglo-American political press and to examine the stylistic conditions which allow for the coinage of loans or their selection at a particu­lar time. Three major types of borrowings are under­lined (“referential,” “expressive” and “textual”), the last two accounting for most of the lexical variations derived from the choice between the native and the borrowed term. Spanish-origin words are also sub­ject to morphological alternations, some of which can be explained by purely pragmatic or sociolinguistic factors (e.g. Francoist vs. Franquista).

• An Overview of Borrowings from English in Brazilian Portuguese. Brian F. Head, State Univ. of New York, Albany.—This study provides an overview of contemporary usage of words of English origin in common vocabulary in Brazil (excluding proper nouns). A statistical analysis of borrowings listed in selected current dictionaries is presented, along with a profile of the increase of listings in recent decades and an inventory of the major sources of borrowings. The study also provides examples of

September 1992__________________NADS 24.3_________________________ Page 7Wednesday, December 30: Independent Session, Luncheon(Continued from previous page)

borrowings commonly found in the Brazilian popu­lar press.

• Danubegate: Strategic or Ignorant Use of Language in a Hungarian Court? Miklos Kontra, Hungarian Academy of Sciences.—Danubegate (cf. American Speech, Summer 1992, 216-222) was the most important political scandal in Hungary in the last three decades. In 1989 a secret service agent disclosed details of illegal spying on opposition po­litical parties. The agent was accused of revealing classified information and the Military Court found him guilty in 1990. Based on courtroom observation and an examination of the documents of the case, I will deal with the role of contamination effect a la Shuy, problems of minute-taking, and what appears

to be a strategic use of a syntactic ambiguity in Hungarian.

Taboo Language in the Classroom: ADS at NCTE, November 21ADS-sponsored Session G16 at the annual con­

vention of the National Council of Teachers of En­glish, Nov. 18-23, Louisville, Kentucky. Saturday, Nov. 21, 12:15-1:30 p.m., Room 116, Common­wealth Convention Center.

Chair: Allan Metcalf, MacMurray College. Asso­ciate Chair: Beth Lee Simon, DARE.

• A Comparative Ethnography of Linguistic Taboo: Profanity and Obscenity among Ameri­can Undergraduate College Women. Jean L. Johnson, Univ. of North Alabama.—An ethno­graphic study was conducted at one regional univer­sity in the Northeast and one in the Southeast Strong research evidence reveals that Southeastern subjects are significantly more inhibited in their use of taboo language than Northeastern subjects. Taboo lan­guage functions primarily for emotional release in the lives of Southern subjects and primarily as a stylistic device of conversation effective for bonding within social groups in the lives of Northeastern sub­jects.

• Taboo Language in Linguistics and Litera­ture Classes. Charles B. Martin, Univ. of North Texas.—Society’s use of taboo words and euphe­misms is a topic that occurs in most linguistics courses and is usually discussed from an academic viewpoint. Taboo words are also encountered in lit­

erature from Chaucer to the present, and can be dealt with or ignored in the classroom. This presentation summarizes my findings on students’ attitudes to­ward and use of taboo language in the classroom, based on my own questionnaire and on interviews with my colleagues in literature and linguistics.

• Taboo Words in Collections of College Slang. James L. Stalker, Michigan State Univ.—Over the past several years I have been working with people collecting slang in high schools. The students collect taboo words of a wide and innovative range. My focus here is on how the teacher might deal with class discussions of the words (discussions of prag­matic contexts, sociolinguistic variables, topic selec­tion and lexical choice); how the teacher might con­trol the collection of taboo words along with nontaboo items; why some words are taboo and oth­ers aren’t and why taboo words exist; how to use taboo words to focus on language issues and con­cepts.

For convention information, write NCTE at 1111 Kenyon Road, Urbana, IL 61801; phone (217) 328- 3870.

Future meeting: 1993 Nov. 19-22 Pittsburgh. If this 1992 session is successful, a followup may be planned for next year. Write ADS Executive Secre­tary Allan Metcalf if you are interested.

sentences ending in a “dangling” preposition (He is too big to argue with) correlated with education.

■ Sex-Linked Differences in the Indiana Sec­tion of the Linguistic Atlas of the North-Central States. Dawn Montague, Ball State Univ.—Davis and Houck have shown that Southern forms of /ai/ and postvocalic /r/ signal lower status to listeners in at least one part of Indiana. Preliminary analysis of Linguistic Atlas data suggests that, for these vari­ables at least, the theory of “more standard women's speech” vs. “less standard men’s speech” is at least questionable.

• Ethnography vs. Questionnaire: Investigat­ing Lexical Choice in the Language of St. Louis. Thomas E. Murray, Kansas State Univ.—I address the following questions: 1) Do St. Louisans make different morphological/syntactic and lexical choices in “unguarded” speech than they claim to make when answering questions about language? 2) If such choices are made, what governs them? 3) If such choices are not made, why are they not? 4) Do the results of this analysis yield any new information regarding linguistic field methods and their reliabil­ity? In reply: By and large, St. Louisans believe that they use morphological/syntactic and lexical items just as they do use them, and without a great deal of regard for contextual formality. The answer to the third question, then, is rooted in who St. Louisans are and who they aspire to be (or aspire to avoid being) when they speak. And the answer to the final ques­tion is “maybe”—the determining factors being where the study is done, by whom, and how.

• The Use of Words with Greek and Latin Ori­gins in the Speech of Eight High School and Uni­versity Educated Men and Women in Central Illi­nois. Carla Stoneberg, Ball State Univ.—In The Lexical Bar (Pergamon, 1985), David Corson con­tended that the preponderance of Graeco-Latinate words in specialist vocabularies of English makes it more difficult for members of some social groups in secondary schools. Corson looked only at the speech of people in England and Australia. I will present a case study of the use of G-L words by eight speakers from central Indiana: two men and two women with university educations, as well as two men and two

women with high school diplomas only. G-L words entering English after 1450 will be included.

Don’t Mop Along—Find the Minister for DAREVolume III of DARE is expected to include the

letters I through O. Editing is proceeding, but we need help. Any information you can furnish on the following items will be welcome. As before, write Prof. F. G. Cassidy, Dictionary of American Re­gional English, 6125 Helen White Hall, 600 North Park St., Madison, W I53706.

Responses to these questions have on many occa­sions cleared matters up or put us on the right track. DARE is most grateful.Kentucky fence—We have conflicting claims for

worm, slat, and board fences. Which has the best claim, and why?

laceback(s)—A oncer from Appalachia, for overall pants. Is this a special type? How current is the word?

lacet—A sharp turn in the road: “One of our favorite tricks, coming down where the trail zigzagged, was to turn our horses off the path to cut across from one lacet to another.” Scene set in Califor­nia.

Lady Haley—“A well-behaved, obliging little girl.” Cape Cod, 1904. Is the term remembered? Who was Lady Haley?

lalla shop, 1950, or Lally’s shop, 1954—in Charles­ton, S.C.: a small, low-grade shop selling cheap stuff, second-hand clothing, etc. We need more evidence on the form, source, or anything else,

lapping (up)—In answer to the DARE question, “When people make too much of a show of affec­tion in a public place: ‘There they were at the church supper------with each other,’ ” two infor­mants answered lapping and lapping up. What is the sense of lap here? How current?

mal-de-racquet—Frcnch-Canadian, used in Maine, for the stiffness resulting from using snowshoes (Fr. racquets). Is it used elsewhere?

mammy-dodger, mammy dodging—Respectively from Alabama, 1920s, and NYC 1980 (Black). Any evidence would be welcome. Meaning? Currency?

manienie grass—A Hawaiian name for Bermuda grass or haole grass. The latter name merely means foreign or imported. How current is manienie? Pronunciation, accentuation?

managing—We have only one quote, Kentucky, 1914: “A managing kind of woman”: capable, skillful in management. There should be more examples in print or memory?

market road—Oregon, meaning an access road. Any connection with the farm-to-market road (1945 and after, chiefly South)?

marker—An automobile license plate. We have one example only, from New England. Any other evidence on this?

milk brother, milk cousin—Child not related but suckled by the same woman. We have some evi­dence but need more. How widespread? Any connection with other languages?

mill—Is this the same game as figmill of DARE Volume II, a board game? Has it been played recently? How is it played?

minister cat, or finding the minister—A hiding game that starts with a special elaborate method of sending the players out to hide. Any details about procedure, the form and meaning of the name?

moat—The strip of grass and trees between sidewalk and curb. A oncer from an old white village man, Little Falls, central N.Y.

moneys—Pluralized rather than collective, as in “Do you have enough moneys to buy a car?” Reported only from near Reading, Pa. Is it known else­where?

moonlighting—An unusual sense from an old white native of Wabash, IN: slacking on the job. Can anyone else testify to it?

moose mushroom—One instance only, from a young white village man of central Wisconsin. It “grows like a globe. . . sometimes gets as big as a man’s head.” Known elsewhere? Why the name?

mop along—To move lethargically. One example only, from Virginia. Is it in use elsewhere? What connections? (No folk etymologies, please!)

Mormon blanket—One example from a 1944 book, unexplained. What is it? How current? Possibly humorous?

musselwood tree—So written by DARE fieldworker, but it could be musclewood. “Com­mon on Hatleras Island, NC.” Can anyone iden-

September 1992 NADS 24.3 Page 23Nearbys, Have You Had an Octopus Bite on the Ocean Well?

tify the tree and explain the name, thus deciding on the right spelling?

nearby—A neighbor. One quote, Arkansas 1938: “Let’s visit our nearbys.”

needle-cushion—A pincushion. One quote: 1912, Virginia. Is this known elsewhere?

night eye—The horny excrescence inside an equine’s leg, sometimes called the chestnut. (It’s thought to be the vestigial thumbnail of the eo- hippus.) But why “night eye”? Horsy people and folklorists, this is one for you.

night-rail—One example only, Virginia, 1899, pub­lished 1912: A nightgown. This is an ancient word. Is it still alive in usage or memory?

night water—Urine. We have only one example, from about 1938, and Southern. Is this still in use or remembered? Where? When?

New Books:Indo-European, Places(Continued from Page 20)

Kenneth Shields. A History of Indo-European Verb Morphology. Current Issues in Linguistic Theory, 88. Amsterdam and Philadelphia: John Benjamins, 1992. viii + 160 pages. Hardbound Hfl. 80. The book traces verb markers of person, tense, number, aspect and mood to original deictic par­ticles. The alterations to which these deictic elements were subject are viewed in the context of an Indo- European language very different from Brugmannian Indo-European, many features of which, it is argued, appeared only in the period of dialectal development. ISBN 90-272-3588-0.

The Study of Place Names ed. by Ronald L. Baker. Hoosier Folklore Society (Dept, of English, Indiana State Univ., Terre Haute, Indiana 47809), 1991. Available by mail for $6. The nine chapters include “Onomastics—An Independent Discipline?” by W.F.H. Nicolaisen, “How to Collect Local Place Names” by Frederic G. Cassidy, and “Universals in Place-Name Generics” by Celia M. Millward.

EDITORIAL SEARCH—Chair John Algeo re­ports that his committee will be ready to discuss, but probably not yet determine, new ediLors for Ameri­can Speech and PADS at the Executive Committee meeting this December. (Soe NADS 24.2, p. 16.)

octopus bite—A oncer from New Jersey, 1963, meaning a hickcy {DARE II), monkey bite, or passion mark. Is this known elsewhere?

of—In a naming context meaning for: “The town was named of him.” We have only one example: rural Georgia, but it seems the kind of thing that might be fairly common. Do you know it?

offen—As a verb, in such a sentence as “Offen your hands from me!” We have one 1928 book ex­ample from the Ozarks. Has anyone actually heard it?

oasis—A fuel, food, and rest area over or along a major highway. Is this name found in other states than Illinois? What terms are used in other states?

ocean wave or ocean well—A kind of homemade merry-go-round. We have three examples: AZ, MP, TX. Where else is this known?

DARE devil Vaults 85An 85th birthday is a oncc-in-a-lifctime occasion,

even for someone as polymathcmatical as Frederic G. Cassidy, so his friends and colleagues at DARE and the University of Wisconsin took the occasion to celebrate with a reception at the Wisconsin Center Alumni Lounge, outlooking on Lake Mcndola, on the very day itself, Saturday, October 12, 1992. Tributaries came from as far as South Carolina (Michael Montgomery) and Florida (Henry Truby).

A string trio played; vegetables were plattcrcd, drinks poured, carrot cake (fresh from the Ovens of Brittany) cut; remarks offered.

Most remarkable of all, next to the presence of the octodemigenarian himself, was his present: Old En­glish and New: Studies in Language and Linguistics in Honor of Frederic G. Cassidy, edited by Joan H. Hall, Nick Doane, and Dick Ringlcr (New York and London: Garland, 1992). It has nine essays on early English, five on creoles, five on lexicography, and eight on the American language.

Cassidy's gift copy came in a wrapping more el­egant than Madonna’s Sex: a black box, decorated in concentric circles of gold squares, overlaid with a script FGC. The box was the work of art binder Sylvia (Rennie) Nussio, formerly of Madison, now of New Mexico.

The Making of American English: Origin and History.

Program organized by Herbert Penzl, Univ. of California, Berkeley. Chair: Arthur Bronstein, Univ. of California, Berkeley.

• Is 17th-century Elizabethan English Proto-American English? Daniel Brink, Arizona State Univ.—The unrestricted af­firmative answer of the handbooks assumes a greater uniformity of early American En­glish than historical data show. The early settlers included many “non-speakers” of Elizabethan English; even the Pilgrim fa­thers had to struggle against foreign-lan­guage influence (Dutch). And the language of later immigrants (e.g. that of John Bate in the 18th century) cannot easily be derived from known types of Elizabethan English, nor can surviving modern creole dialects such as Gullah.—Discussants: Robert Stockwell and Donka Minkova, UCLA.

• The Evidence for Diglossia in Ameri­can English (Until 1900). Herbert Penzl — Early settlers from England brought re­gional dialects and (for church and schools) a still-flexible written London standard to colonial America. The resulting diglossia is shown by some orthographic evidence (e.g. John Bate’s spelling system), grammarians’ descriptions of dialectal features (e.g. by Noah Webster) and particularly by the liter­ary dialects of J.R. Lowell’s Biglow Papers (1848, 1873), J. Ch. Harris’ Uncle Remus and others.—Discussant: ElizabethTraugott, Stanford Univ.

• Dialect and the Colloquial Style. Julian Boyd, Univ. of California, Berke­ley.—There is a peculiarly colloquial American literary prose style which owes

its distinctness to a stylization of 19th-cen­tury dialect writing. I will explore certain features of this stylization.

* * Break * *• Phonology of Illinois American En­

glish in 1931-1933 as Analyzed by a Four- to-Six-Year-Old Boy. Joseph C. Finney, Monterey, Calif.—Dissatisfied with what was taught in kindergarten reading, the boy slowly did the task of classifying the sounds, intuitively using linguistic concepts for which he had no vocabulary. The 22 consonants were obvious, but vowels posed problems. Beginning with saying words aloud and correlating the perceived sounds with positions of tongue and lips, he de­cided that his idiolect has seven simple vowels, three clear diphthongs, and four quasi-diphthongs (beat, bait, boat, boot). Valuing logical consistency, he moved im­perceptibly from phonetic to more abstract approaches using phonemes and distinctive features.—Discussants: Jean BerkoGleason (Boston Univ.) and James D. McCawley (Univ. of Chicago).

Transcription Time

The following transcription exercise appears in Introduction to Phonology by Peter Hawkins (Hutchinson, 1984; reissued this year by Routledge, England). It offers students practice in distinguishing spelling from transcription.

I take it you already know Of though and bough and cough and dough? Others may stumble, but not you On hiccough, thorough, rough, and through. Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,To learn of less familiar traps?Beware of heard, a dreadful wordThat looks like beard and sounds like bird,And dead: it’s said like bed, not bead.For goodness sake don’t call it "deed"!Watch out for meat and great and threat (They rhyme with suite and straight and debt); A moth is not as "moth" in mother,Nor both on bother, broth in brother.And here is not a match for there,Nor dear and fear for bear and pear,And then there’s dose and rose and lose—Just look these up—and goose and choose.And cork and work, and card and ward,And font and front and word and sword,And do and go, and thwart and cart,Come, come, I’ve hardly made a start!A dreadful language? Man alive,I’d mastered it when I was five!

Textbook News and Reviews

Linda Miller Cleary and Michael Linn, Editors, Linguistics for Teachers, forthcoming from McGraw Hill.

Linguistics for Teachers, to appear this fall, is a collection of approximately 50 previously published articles and essays, compiled for use in linguistics courses for teacher certification. The collection reflects state licensure requirements, NCTE guidelines, and NCATE criteria, especially for prospective secondary school teachers.

September 1992 ADS TEACHING NEWSLETTER 1.1 Page 2

The essays in Linguistics fo r Teachers are divided into five sections:

•History of English and Acquisition of Language

•Language and Culture •Language and the Teaching of Reading and

Writing•The Nature of Language and Its Classroom

Interactions •Teaching English as a Second Language

The collection features essays by both linguists and researchers in English pedagogy, including such familiar names as John Algeo, John Baugh, William Labov, Lee Pederson, GenevaSmitherman, and Walt Wolfram.

Linguistics for Teachers has been field-tested among juniors, seniors, and graduate students. Some prior exposure to linguistics isrecommended, as the book is not intended to substitute for an introduction to linguistics. Instead, the emphasis is on practical classroom applications of linguistics.

Andrew Radford, Transformational Syntax: A Student’s Guide to Chomsky's Extended Standard Theory, Cambridge University Press, 1981, pp. ix, 402.

Andrew Radford, Transformational Grammar: A First Course, Cambridge University Press, 1988, pp. xii, 625.

It’s difficult to overestimate the importance of Radford’s Syntax (1981) and Grammar (1988). Until 1991, with the publication of Liliane Haegeman’s Introduction to Government and Binding Theory (Blackwell), neither book had any serious competition in the introductory syntax market. Likewise, it’s impossible to review either of these texts without comparing it to the other.

Syntax (1981) was the first text to incorporate theoretical advances made since the early 1970’s. In particular, it included a chapter on X-bar syntax, introduced in Chomsky’s "Remarks on

Nominalization" (1970), claiming, among other things, that there are intermediate levels of structure between lexical and phrasal categories (e.g., N-bar is a unit larger than N but smaller than NP.) It also included a chapter on constraints on movement, introduced in Chomsky’s "Conditions on Transformations" (1973), claiming that some properties of individual transformations can be isolated and stated as general limitations on movement (e.g., Passive and Subject Raising both obey the Subjacency condition, which prohibits an NP from being moved to a non-adjacent clause.) Syntax also included chapters on government and binding, introduced in Chomsky’s "On Binding" (1980), claiming, among other things, that anaphors (e.g., himself), pronominals (e.g., him) and lexical NP’s (e.g., John) all have different distributional characteristics that can be defined in structural terms (e.g., an anaphor must have an antecedent within its governing category).

Radford’s Grammar (1988) was intended to be the first volume of a 2-volume update of Syntax. (The second volume has so far not been published.) Grammar incorporates significant advances over Syntax, especially in X-bar theory. (One chapter in Syntax is expanded to four in Grammar.) Radford thoroughly motivates extending the X-bar treatment of NP’s to all other phrasal categories, as illustrated below. (X=any lexical category; Spec = Specifier.)

Other theoretical advances incorporated into Grammar are reflected in the terminology: the old

rule of Affix Hopping is supplanted by V(erb)- Movement; Subject-Auxiliary Inversion is replaced by I(nflection)-Movement; S is replaced by IP (Inflectional Phrase), and S " by CP (Complement Phrase).

However, even though Syntax is out of date in some respects, it cannot be replaced by Grammar. First, Grammar contains no discussion of constraints, government, case, or binding. Second, Grammar is more of a reference book than a text. It provides exhaustive evidence for every claim, telling the reader more than most students at this level really want or need to know. Third, Radford is a better writer than he is an editor. Just when the reader thinks he’s brought a concept to closure, he undercuts it and revises. This, too, is maddening to students. (Even though this is the way theory construction may actually proceed in practice, it is easy to overuse as a pedagogical technique.) I would recommend that instructors use Syntax as their classroom text and then augment it with more recent analyses and terminology from Grammar where relevant.

F r a n k Pa r k e r , Louisiana State University

Max Morenberg, Doing Grammar, Oxford University Press, 1991, 176 pp., including appendix of selected answers. Instructor’s manual (by Janet Ziegler) available.

Assessment: Doing Grammar is useable as an introduction to English sentence patterns, if the instructor is primarily interested in sentence diagramming. Morenberg has essentiallysubstituted tree diagrams for traditional Reed- Kellogg diagrams, useful for (but limited to) labeling category and modificational relationships of sentence constituents. Even though Doing Grammar thoroughly exercises students in labeling sentence structures, it does not communicate any general insights about grammar, which essentially serves as a definition of acceptable forms and as an explanation of unacceptable forms.

Methods: Morenberg explicitly presentsDoing Grammar as a synthesis of traditional and generative grammar, "rooted in the traditional principles of Jesperson as well as in the contemporary formulations of Chomsky" (p. ix). However, generative-transformational grammar is invoked without any mention of generative principles, phrasal or transformational. Different types of sentence structure are introduced and discussed only through sample trees. Collectively, such examples do illustrate general grammatical processes like question formation, but structural generalizations (i.e., rules) are not explicitly stated (e.g., that English yer/no-questions as a group front the tense morpheme and the first modal, have, or be, or do).

Strengths: Morenberg’s exposition-by­example allows, in a relatively brief text, coverage of a wide range of sentence structures. Chapter 1 covers different verb-phrase types: transitive, intransitive, ditransitives, linking verbs, and be. Chapter 2 covers tense, mood, aspect, and different types of noun phrases. Chapter 3 covers negatives, passives, questions, imperatives, and there-insertion, as well as compound sentences. Chapters 4-7 cover relative clauses, phrasal equivalents of relatives, nominal clauses, and sentence modifiers, respectively. The text uses many interesting live-example sentences (mostly magazine and newspaper excerpts), as well as constructed examples. Each chapter includes 50 + exercises in constituent identification, sentence combining, and sentence diagramming.

Weaknesses: The appendix and manual give answers only for the diagramming exercises. Besides lacking useful, explicit generalizations, the text also tends to overwhelm the reader with more grammatical terminology than it needs or explains satisfactorily. For example, the terms finite and finite verb phrase, infinitive and the synonymous base form are all introduced in the same paragraph, and all without clear, formal definition (p. 26). Also, the text lacks a glossary, an oversight guaranteed to create frustration for students and to necessitate digressions by the

instructor. A partial list of abbreviations is included only in the instructor’s manual.

Dorothy Sedley, Anatomy o f English: An Introduction to the Structure o f Standard American English, St. Martin’s Press, 1990, 281 pp., including glossary. Instructor’s manual available.

Assessment: Anatomy o f English can serve as either an introduction to English linguistics, with an emphasis on sentence structure, or as an introduction to sentence structure with a further discussion of English linguistics. Such ambiguity makes use of Anatomy o f English problematic at a large university which has courses in both introductory linguistics and grammar. However, at smaller institutions (such as mine), one tries to attract students to as many aspects of linguistics as possible in perhaps only one or two courses. In such circumstances, Sedley’s text offers a useful compromise. Seven of its fourteen chapters develop a basic description of English syntax, justifying its use in a grammar course. Four chapters discuss morphology, phonology, language variation, and the history of English, justifying its use in an introductory linguistics class. And three chapters use linguistic theory to explain English spelling, dictionary use, and conventions of standard written English.

Methods: Each chapter intersperses four to sixteen "discovery activities" (one or more every two pages) with the exposition. Typically, students are induced to discover grammatical generalizations on their own, based on their intuitive knowledge. The discussion following each activity then elaborates on, summarizes and occasionally formalizes the generalization. For example, in , discussing the English auxiliaries, discovery activity 5-1 presents readers with the sentence Mary goes crazy and the following prompts:

1. Add a modal auxiliary to the sentence, but nothing else. What change must you make to the form of the [main verb]?

2. Instead of the modal, add the perfective (-en) aspect inflection to the verb. What other changes or adjustments did you make in the verb phrase?

3. What happens to the auxiliary has if you add a modal to the sentence now? . . . .

7. In general, then, what effect does a modal auxiliary have on the auxiliary or verb stem that follows it? (p. 73)

This exercise leads the student to the conclusion that tense always inflects the first verb form, that have must precede the perfective inflection, and so on. Such is Anatomy o f English’s standard mode of exposition, regardless of the topic. Students are thereby led to a variety of skills: dividing words into separate morphemes, diagramming sentences, identifying typical features of informal registers and non-standard dialects, and so forth.

Strengths: Anatomy o f English isaccompanied by a very helpful instructor’s manual, which includes sample quizzes and a discussion of every discovery activity, including the probable range of student responses and misunderstandings. Sedley’s conscientious definitions and cautious use of terminology within the text are admirable, and she also provides a fairly complete glossary.

Weaknesses: Study questions provided at the end of each chapter call only for the retention of facts. The text might benefit from a few more exercises like the discovery activities, but slightly more advanced to promote further thought. Anatomy o f English could also use one more syntax chapter, discussing other important transformations: extraposition, it- and ^ r e ­insertion, questions, and tag questions. The phrase structures of basic and multi-clause sentences are adequately covered, but passive is the only transformation discussed at length.
