Some Psycholinguistic Aspects Of Brôu Literacy Problems, Eugenia Johnston

Theses and Dissertations

Before literacy materials can be prepared for preliterate groups, the analyst must discover the native speaker's reactions (1) to the sounds of his language so that a psychophonemic orthography can be developed, and (2) to the structure of his language, so that teaching methods will build on these reactions and help the prospective reader learn more quickly and easily to read and write his language.

Problems include immediate constituents of vowel glides and consonant clusters, syllable stress, syllable division within words, punctuation signals, and tone designation. In the Brôu language the main problem was to ascertain whether Brôu intuitions would …

87 Faces Of The English Clause, Richard S. Pittman, David D. Thomas

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

From the introduction, "Nguyen Dang Liem, in his "Contrastive Analysis of English and Vietnamese," Vol. 1 (Canberra, 1966), gives a very useful table (page 47) of 87 English clause types. This is a review and commentary on that chart, with two proposals: 1) that all of the types be derived from one sentence -- "They gave him the presidency" -- rather than from several, as in Liem's original formulation; and 2) that the relationships between the major types be described by means of a two-branched tree."

A Phonological Reconstruction Of Proto Central North Bahnaric, Kenneth D. Smith

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

From the introduction: "Because of unresolved phonological problems in Sedang phonemics (Smith, 1967a) and the need to clarify them before literacy materials could be prepared, the author undertook a study of Sedang dialects (1967b, 1967c). Though the phonological problems were resolved in this latter study, other problems became evident in the relations between Kontum languages. The present study was undertaken in an attempt to understand more fully the relationships between these languages. The study also complements similar studies in other areas of Viet Nam; namely: Proto-East-Katuic (D. M. Thomas, 1967), Proto-Mnong (Blood, 1966); and Proto-Chamic, a Malayo-Polynesian language (Lee, 1966)."

Handling Lexical Translation Problems: A Set Of Procedures, Loraine I. Bridgeman

Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session

From the introduction: "It is the purpose of this paper to outline a set of procedures for determining which of the generally accepted devices for introducing new concepts into receptor languages would most economically stimulate semantic change in any given situation. That is, the procedures are an attempt to enable a translator initiating work in a new language to predict with a certain degree of accuracy the device appropriate to a given situation and the normal semantic load assignable to it. Devices discussed are APPROXIMATION, including the use of related items, metaphors and similes; CREATION, including annalogical innovations of similes …
