A History Of The Deseret Alphabet, Larry Ray Wintersteen

Theses and Dissertations

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during the years 1852-1877, introduced to its membership a form of rhetoric (writing system) called the deseret alphabet (phonetic alphabet). This experiment was intended to alleviate the problem of non-communication which was created by the great influx of foreign speaking Saints into the great Salt Lake Valley.
The alphabet was developed and encouraged by the Prophet Brigham Young and a few followers. Much to their dismay the members of the Church did not have the same vision of its workability as did its promoters.
This new alphabet appears not to have met …

From Greek To Guarani, Robert E. Meader

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

Using as an illustration a translation of Mark 5:19 from Koiné Greek to Guaraní, the author argues that faithful translation involves identifying the underlying semantic structure of a source text and expressing it in the target language, rather than mechanically transforming surface forms from source to target. Based on a detailed semantic analysis of the passage in the source and target languages, the degree of equivalence between them then indicates the degree of "literalness" or accuracy of translation. Specific issues that are discussed include obligatory features of one language that are not reflected in the other language, such as number …

Structure Of The Kogi Verb Auxiliary And Its Distribution In Discourse, Chadwick M. Stendal

Theses and Dissertations

Certain frequent long words in the Kogi (Aruakan) language of Colombia, South America, were regularly translated by the first linguists who worked in the area as meaning 'and so' or 'afterwards', in spite of the fact that the words were highly variable, and complicated in structure.

When the author and his wife began working on the language, the only additional clue available to them was the information, from one of the previous scholars, that one syllable in the words marked indicative mood.

Prom this point on intensive scrutiny was made of text recorded by the author and transcribed from his …
