An Investigation Of The Components Of Platonic And Romantic Heterosexual Relationships, Philip F. Guinsburg

Theses and Dissertations

During the past twenty years, heterosexual relationships have been studied extensively by researchers in the field of interpersonal attraction without the attainment of consistent results (Wright, 1968). Wright (1968) stated that there were two methodological problems with this past research which are the treatment of variables used to explain attraction as both the independent and dependent variables in the same study and the use of dyadic indices. Also, Wright (1969) noted that past research has generally not examined heterosexual relationships separately for each sex. Finally, Guinsburg (1970a) found that most research dealing with heterosexual relationships has only examined the "romantic" …

A Critique Of Some Tone Universals Proposed By Woo, Barbara E. Hollenbach

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

From the introduction: "In an unpublished doctoral dissertation written in 1969, Nancy Woo proposed a set of universal prosodic features. In brief, she states that a stress feature is needed (45), but not a length feature; all length is best treated as geminction (237). For tone, three features are needed: high, low, and modify (236). The feature 'modify' involves some component besides pitch, and is needed for languages with more than three pitch levels (251). All tone languages are register systems; contours are best treated as sequences of registers, each on a separate sonorant segment (141). She illustrated her thesis …

Chafing At Anti-Allomorphs, David D. Thomas

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

From the introduction: "Chafe (1970 p. 31-35) speaks of the varying forms for Onodaga 'big' as describable in terms either of processes or of allomorphs. (1) He claims that a process statement gives a more economical description of the Onodaga data; and (2) he also claims that an allomorph description necessarily presupposes a too-simple view of psychological reality. I consider his two claims questionable, the implication of his two claims not logically implied, and his first dichotomy not logically necessary."

Roles In Canamarí Verbs, Barbara Wiebe

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

From the introduction, "Canamari verbs are tentatively catagorized here according to their roles. This summary [...] attempts to better organize the data analyzed to date, in the hope of expansion and a fuller understanding of the possibilities of each of the categories and their respective verbs."

A Communications Model Of Culture Contact, James A. Yost

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

From the introduction: "Most anthropologists currently involved in the study of culture contact recognize the importance of adequate communication for successful transmission of ideas or traits. Some, such as Niehoff, have made explicit the importance they feel it has: "Communication by the innovator is probably the single most important kind of action in which he will engage, since it is a prerequisite for everything else that follows. No ideas or techniques can be transferred from one person to another unless there are channels of communication established to transfer them, and these are the patterns of communication. If no adequate patterns …

Tone Sandhi And Rule Ordering In Peñoles Mixtec, John P. Daly

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

From the introduction: "The tone sandhi of Peñoles Mixtec is accounted for by a small number of simple, interrelated rules, involving the two tones high and low and the modification or lack of modification of these tones in specified environments. The tones high and low are formally represented by the feature [high] in its two values plus and minus, and the modification or lack of modification of them by the feature [modify] in its two values. The two tonal features have their values changed by the tone rules, in environments specified phonologically and to a limited extent, syntactically.

Reduplication And Anomalous Rule Ordering In Copala Trique, Barbara E. Hollenbach

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

From the introduction: "Reduplication is a process that often seems to be associated with exceptions to the application of phonological rules. Either reduplicated forms are exempt from the application of a rule, as described by Munro and Benson (1973) for Luiseño, or else they are subject to the application of rules in environments where they wouldn't be expected to apply, as in certain Tagalog examples mentioned by Bloomfield (1933:222). In this paper I discuss a problem of the second type in Copala Trique."

Categories Of Verbal Ideas And Case Relations, Bruce E. Hollenbach

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

From the introduction, "Our belief that translation is possible, or, for that matter, that human beings can communicate at all, is based upon two presuppositions: 1) that human beings everywhere live in approximately the same world of experience, and 2) that all human beings have approximately the same mental and psychological apparatus.

But we must at the same time recognize that all human beings must abstract to a high degree from the complex environment around them which constantly bombards them with great amounts of sense stimuli. We are required to impose order on, or find order in (depending upon your …

Tree And String Analysis Of A Copala Trique Sentence, Bruce E. Hollenbach, David D. Thomas

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

From the introduction: "This paper is simply a presentation of two analyses of the same Copala Trique sentence. The first analysis is done by David Thomas and represents a string analysis, with a distinction between deep structure and surface structure. The second analysis is done by Bruce Hollenbach and represents a tree analysis done from the point of view of generative semantics. We hope that this presentation may be useful to those who might be interested in comparing and contrasting these two analytical techniques."

Mamanwa Paragraphs, Helen W. Miller, Jeanne Miller

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

From the introduction: "This paper describes the five contrastive paragraph types in Mamanwa. The five semantic categories of paragraphs are Narrative, Procedural, Explanatory, Hortatory, and Dialogue. Form categories on the paragraph level, as on the sentence level, are simple, antithetical, coordinate, and parallel.

"The five semantic categories contrast structurally in (1) the kinds of tagmemes which compose the nucleus of each paragraph type, (2) the kinds of focus and aspect affixes on the verbs in the nucleus, particularly in Narrative versus Procedural paragraphs, (3) the kinds of mode affixes on the verbs, and the kinds of personal pronouns in the …
