Word Ways
Acronyms use the first letter of each word of a name. Diacronyms instead use the first two letters of names. While not yet called that, they featured in "Short People" in the November issue. Diacrostics are diacronyms of whole sentences. Unlike aconyms, which usually have to be defined and memorised, diacrostics may be -- and triacrostics often are -- directly readable, especially if the context is known, the language is simple, or the sentence is a familiar quotation.

A royal flush in poker consists of the ace, king, queen, jack and ten, all in the same suit. Our magic begins by having the spectator choose one of the cards in any of the four royal flushes. This choice could be by random draw or the spectator can merely think of one of the 20 cards. In either case he does not inform the magician of his choice but will write it on a slip of paper for future reference.

In the February 2010 Look Back! column, Ross Eckler renews his wife Faith's request from the August 1981 Kickshaws for an answer to a riddle from a 1831 British publication. He notes that a year's subscription to Word Ways was offered for the solution, but that it went unclaimed. Apropos of nothing, one wonders whether that means that the offer is still open.

This is a sequel to Unusual Words (Word Ways 2008145) which examines words with single like letters having different pronunciations, thus being represented by different phonetic symbols. Arbitrary Words looks at words with two like bigrams which have different pronunciations and different phonetic symbols. ARBITRARY is one such word, the first AR being pronounced as the A in bath, but the second AR as the AR in arise. Words in which one of the two bigram letters is represented by the same phonetic symbol in both bigrams are not included.

To begin, write your last name across the top of the grid. You should have enough columns for each letter in your name. For each category in the left column, fill in the cells with a word beginning with the letter in the top row. If duplicate letters appear in the top row, then you should think of two different words for that category. Additional categories could be added or exchanged for the ones below.

When the American Dialect Society (ADS) was founded in 1889, one of the major goals of its charger members was to do for the United States what Joseph Wright was doing for England in compiling his English Dialect Dictionary. But of course the task of making a dictionary of the dialects of the United States was going to be a lot bigger because of the size of the country. So the Society began by publishing word lists made by professors who jotted down unfamiliar terms or expressions as they visited places new to them. For decades, lists were published …

It is the peculiar fate of a few celebrated authors, whose personalities as well as whose works fascinate us, to experience, posthumously, new literary careers as characters in other writers' fiction. Such an author is Charles Dodgson, better known to many as Lewis Carroll, whose first of a score of appearances as a character in fiction occurred about 70 years ago. hardcore Carroll devotees, of course, already know all about all such fictional "LC" apparitions, but more casual Carroll enthusiasts may thank Seattle writer N. Lee for compiling a list of eleven novels and one feature film in which Dodgson …

A bunch of definitive reverse acrostics presented in February ('10-8) included seven wordplay terms, with especially fun ones for logology and logophile. I thought a rather immoderate list of wordplay terms similarly defined might be appreciated by logology fans. Read the definitions first. If they are not clear, then consult the examples, which are given as "answers" if needed.

Universal Design In Technology Used In Interpreter Education, Daniel Roush
International Journal of Interpreter Education
Interpreter educators need to consider whether the educational technology they use is maximally accessible and usable. This paper discusses the application of universal design (UD) principles to educational technologies that have been adopted for use in interpreter education. Particularly, the focus is on the design of video annotation software features used in the assessment of interpretations. Some features currently being used meet minimal standards of accessibility but do not fully comply with principles of UD. This paper provides an overview of a pilot study of the development of prototype annotation features that would not only accommodate specialized needs for users …

Most English adjectives take on the suffixes -er and est as they journey from their base forms to their comparative and superlative incarnations, as in smart smarter smartest and funny funnier funniest. Some intrepid logologists have created sequences of unrelated words that look like adjectival progressions but aren't.

A collage of colleges is camouflaged within the universe of universities presented in the twenty-question exam that follows. Simply extract a letter from each word in the list, implant another in its place, and scramble the resulting collection of characters to reveal the requisite institute of advanced learning. To wit, ORALLY would become BAYLOR upon rearrangement after "B" replaces one of the "L"s.

In the visual domain, Marsolek and colleagues (1999, 2008) have found support for two dissociable and parallel neural subsystems underlying object and shape recognition: an abstract-category subsystem that operates more effectively in the left cerebral hemisphere (LH), and a specific-exemplar subsystem that operates more effectively in the right cerebral hemisphere (RH). Evidence of this asymmetry has been observed in priming specificity for linguistic (words, pseudoword forms) and nonlinguistic (objects) stimuli. In the auditory domain, the authors previously found hemispheric asymmetries in priming effects for linguistic (spoken words) and nonlinguistic (environmental sounds) stimuli. In the present study, the same asymmetrical pattern …

Our successful English as a Second Language (ESL) project at Suffolk County Community College (SCCC) fosters academic literacy by infusing information and computer literacy skills into an advanced speaking course. In our presentation, library and ESL faculty, plus an ESL administrator will share insights on how advanced ESL students construct a demographic study. The demographic assignment requires students to synthesize information and images into oral presentations. Each student’s final project is the culmination of an incremental process that includes four library workshops. During the workshops, students research U.S. cities and form a learning community as they discuss trends in demographic …

Passion, Protest, Or Just Plain Incivility?: Responding To Bad Behaviors In Public Meetings, Suzanne Mccorkle
Passion, Protest, Or Just Plain Incivility?: Responding To Bad Behaviors In Public Meetings, Suzanne Mccorkle
Research and Reports
Bad behavior is not new, but the prevalence of incivility seems a rising tide in the public arena. Passionate outbursts at a public input meeting and planned protest to disrupt meetings are captured with increasing frequency on today’s omnipresent electronic media. The negative invective allowed/encouraged during political campaigns seems to carry over to public input meetings and other places intended for the measured, deliberative processes of governance. In the public forum, sometimes it is easy to discern the planned protest from the passionate outburst; sometimes it is not. When a theater group pretending to be audience members broke into song …

Act 5: Cultural Sound(Ing)S (1984-Present), James Smith Allen
A Privileged Past
Here in Act 5 of "A Privileged Past," the author turns to his and his wife’s life overseas in France and Germany. Their dual national identities as Americans living abroad for extended periods of time underscore the dramatic changes in social conditions in Europe since 1945 as it regained its place in world affairs after World War II. Because so much of life in Europe is dependent upon second-language acquisition, the primary literary figure in this chapter is sound and its many cultural resonances.
