		A doublet, an important concept in linguistics, is one of two (or more) words in a language that are derived from the same ultimate source, but usually through different routes.
		An example from earlier in this page's history is gubernatorial, which is a doublet of governor--the first was borrowed from Latin into English, while the second went from Latin to Old French and then to English, and the governor form results from changes the word underwent in French.
		The word doublet itself is from the early fourteenth century, from double and the suffix -et, used to form diminutive nouns or nouns indicating an example of something or of membership in a specified group (quartet, turret, baronet).

		branch of linguistics that deals with the origin and development of words and with the comparison of similar words, or cognates, in different languages of the same language group.
		In its relation to other subdivisions of linguistics, etymology stands closest to phonology; in fact, before the development of phonetic laws, no scientific or systematic means of tracing the derivation of words existed.
		The English wise (as in otherwise, in no wise) is akin to the Old High German w[imacr ]s(a), modern German die Weise; but wise is a doublet of guise, the form assumed by w[imacr ]s(a) in the Romance languages, which borrowed the word from the Germanic form.

	Written Cantonese - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		One example is the doublet 來 (standard) and 嚟 (Cantonese), meaning "to come." Both share the same meaning and usage, but because the colloquial pronunciation differs from the literary pronunciation, they are represented using two different characters, 嚟 and 來, respectively.
		Some people argue that representing the colloquial pronunciation with a different (and often extremely complex) character is superfluous, and encourage using the same character for both forms since they are cognates (see #Derived characters below).
		Another example is the doublet 來/嚟, which means "to come".

		In addition to the Guangzhou dialect, the Taishan dialect, one of the sei yap or siyi (四邑) dialects that come from Guangdong counties where a majority of Exclusion-era Cantonese-Chinese immigrants emigrated, continues to be spoken both by recent immigrants from Southern China and even by third-generation Chinese Americans of Cantonese ancestry alike.
		This is chiefly because, in these accounts, separate tone categories are assigned to syllables ending in p, t, or k for each of the three pitch levels in which such syllabes occur.
		A Cantonese-specific example is the doublet 來/嚟, which means "to come".

		Proceedings of the 1992 Mid-Amercica Linguistics Conference and Conference on Siouan/Caddoan Languages.
		There are many examples, including "will and testament," "give and bequeath," "love and amity." My hunch is that these redundancies are in some way a by-product of the use of Latin and/or French in the medieval English courts, as many of the pairings come from legal discourse (e.g.

		Input is also welcomed from linguists who do not wish to become a part of the taskforce, but who (a) have experience or ideas relevant to the paper competition, or (b) would be interested in serving as referees/ judges in the next year.
		This is not to say that linguists should see it as their task to come to the rescue with howling sirens whenever a language threatens to vanish, or that they could do much if its speakers really do not want to go on using it.
		In studying such phenomena linguists are studying aspects of human action, and the role of the totally neutral, objective observer may not always be available to them (to put it carefully) - even though I agree that it remains an ideal for the linguist in his/her capacity as empirical researcher.

	Oberlin Alumni Magazine : Summer 2002
		Citing sources such as Dr. Seuss and hypotheses such as the “Bow-Wow” theory of linguistics (the notion that language evolves from imitation), Edelstein cheerfully mapped the 5,000-year evolution of our English family tree from its Indo-European roots and Greek, Latin, and Anglo-Saxon offshoots to the grafted branches of foreign derivatives, eponyms, onomatopoeias, and neologisms.
		It will be another Oberlin moment—one that demonstrates how the Oberlin liberal arts experience, with its exceptional faculty-student relationships, impels alumni beyond their fields of specialization.
		Edelstein’s interest in the topic is almost Darwinian; he seeks out the original concepts that shaped the evolution of a word to spawn generations of new forms.

		Chromatic aberration of a lens is seen as fringes of color around the image.

		This reduces the amount of chromatic aberration over a certain range of wavelengths, though it does not produce perfect correction.
