Towards A Taxonomy Of Linguistic Jokes, Robert Lew
Towards A Taxonomy Of Linguistic Jokes, Robert Lew
Robert Lew
A classification system for linguistic jokes is proposed: (1) verbal, (2) syntactic, (3) phonological, (4) orthographic, (5) deicitc reference, (6) specific vs nonspecific interpretation, (7) pragmatic ambiguity, (8) type of modality, & (9) multiple ambiguity. Under (3), it is noted that dialect differences can contribute to the relative success or failure of these jokes. In discussing (4), it is noted that this type may increase in popularity, due primarily to the pervasiveness of electronic communication & Internet access. Additionally, it is maintained that (4) should be considered a subtype, because other categories may also apply, making this a weaker taxonomic …
Process-Specific Constraints In Optimality Theory, John J. Mccarthy
Process-Specific Constraints In Optimality Theory, John J. Mccarthy
John J. McCarthy
Similar phonological processes can be governed by different constraints. Davis (1995) claims that the effect of such process-specific constraints cannot be obtained in Optimality Theory (OT), exemplifying this point with material from harmony in Palestinian Arabic. On the contrary, I show that process-specific constraints are a natural and expected result of constraint ranking, the fundamental idea of OT. Furthermore, OT makes a restrictive prediction, the subset criterion, about coexistent process-specific constraints within a single grammar—a prediction supported by the Palestinian material. Davis also presents evidence that epenthetic segments have featural specifications, claiming that OT says they are featureless. This is …
