The Point-Line Dimension: A Way Of Looking At Some Aspects Of The Referential System In Indonesian, H. Bambang Kaswanti Purwo
The Point-Line Dimension: A Way Of Looking At Some Aspects Of The Referential System In Indonesian, H. Bambang Kaswanti Purwo
Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session
From the introduction: "There exist, in Indonesian, certain pairs of forms where, although each member of the pair can be given the same gloss in a language such as English, there is a contrast in meaning between the members of the pairs not easily captured in simple glosses. These distinctions turn out to be difficult to grasp for a person who is not an Indonesian."
Notes On Diuxi Mixtec Tone, John P. Daly
Notes On Diuxi Mixtec Tone, John P. Daly
Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session
From the introduction: "In this paper I give a brief description of a reanalysis of the tone system of Diuxi Mixtec previously analyzed by Eunice Pike and Joy Oram (1976). Their analysis is heavily influenced by their conception of probably phonetic manifestations of tone, whereas my analysis is more influenced by morphophonemic considerations. Giving more attention to morphophonemic considerations in determining tone phonemes makes possible a simpler account of the morphophonemics of tone. This account, however, is not at the expense of phonetic simplicity but is compatible with a phonetically reasonable and relatively simple account of allphonic processes."

The Modalis Case In Iñupiat, Wolf Seiler
Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session
From the introduction: "Eskimo has a set of six post-positions which traditionally have been called a "case system" by Eskimologists. It is my purpose to demonstrate the uses of one of these, the modalis case, and to interpret them within the framework of Relational Grammar."

Aspects Of Seri Phonology, Stephen A. Marlett
Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session
From the introduction: "In the following sections I will discuss the presence of the surface segments W, kw, Xw, ŋ, and nasalization, and the status of the phoneme /w/ in present-day Seri. I will also discuss other prominent aspects of Seri phonology, especially those features in which this analysis differs from that of Moser and Moser 1965."

Texmelucan Zapotec Suprasegmental Phonology, Charles H. Speck
Texmelucan Zapotec Suprasegmental Phonology, Charles H. Speck
Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session
From the introduction: "Speaking of general characteristics of tone languages, William S-Y-Wang (1967) points out some basic differences between the types of tone found in language areas of the world. Among other things, he notes that for some languages tone functions primarily to make lexical distinctions with the Sino Tibetan family being cited as examples of this type. For other languages tone functions primarily on the grammatical level. Otomanguean languages are cited as examples of this type. In light of this fact, it is not surprising that two types of tone perturbation need to be distinguished in Texmelucan Zapotec, hereafter …
