	Some Observations on the Foundation of Linguistics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		It is agreed that linguistics are not interested in a given corpus of linguistic data in itself, but rather in the rules, system and faculty of language that enable speakers to produce that corpus.
		Linguistics does not have a privileged claim upon language as an object of study; there are many other disciplines that examine it psychology, speech pathology, rhetoric, literary studies, semiotics, and so on.
		The most obvious hiatus in the foundations of modern linguistics is the absence of a concern for the reliability and validity of the introspective judgments that form the main data base of grammatical research.

	The Talking Page Literacy Organization - Language acquisition and use: learning and applying probabilistic constraints
		The current linguistic interest in the relationship between the human brain and cognition arose when the view of language as a cognitive system replaced the philosophy of behaviorism which dominated American linguistics in the preceding era.
		The current linguistic interest in aphasia is partially due to the fact that focal injuries to different parts of the brain not only lead to selective cognitive disorders, but may also lead to damage of distinct components of language or of specific linguistic processing mechanisms.
		Since the same abstract linguistic principles underlie all human languages -- spoken or signed -- regardless of the motor and perceptual mechanisms which are used in their expression, it is not surprising that deaf patients show aphasia for sign language similar to the language breakdown in hearing aphasics following damage to the left hemisphere.

	Hiatus (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Elections for the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation are complete.
		Hiatus in linguistics is the separate pronunciation of two adjacent vowels, sometimes with an intervening glottal stop.
		In poetic metrics, hiatus can also refer to the failure of two vowels straddling a word boundary to coalesce, for example by elision of the first vowel.

	The Russian Dilettante's Weblog (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Cognitive linguistics seems particularly well suited for an analysis of the Russian a-declension.
		Without cognitive linguistics ' emphasis on cultural grounding and radial category structure, it is even hard to see how one would both accommodate exceptions and capture the relationship between the Russian a-declension and sexist myths about women.
		Nesset turn to the Latin 1st declension, which is an a-declension as well, to capture the relationship between that class of nouns and sexist perceptions of some academics' style -- for despite the highly learned terms, "schematicity," "radial category structure" and all, he manages to sound like a pouty-lipped hyperborean puella.

		However, such approaches are limited in principle because they are wedded to the use of `words' instead of `concepts' and because they are unable to control for the linguistic variations -- in morphology, in semantics, and in syntax -- that complicate the surface forms found in natural-language texts.

	Advances in Hispanic Linguistics: Introduction
		Following the lead of José del Valle, who organized the First Hispanic Linguistics Colloquium at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in October 1997, our primary objective in organizing this Symposium was to bring together scholars working at the cutting edge of research in Hispanic Linguistics, representing a varied array of theoretical perspectives.
		Ray Harris-Northall examines the official use of the vernacular in 13th-century Spanish, and shows that whether or not intentionality exists, the development of certain linguistic and social attitudes inevitably accompanies the presence of political situations of dominance, as far back as the Middle Ages.
		He claims that the development of the vocalic system of spoken Latin had a profound impact on the development of the consonantal system, with the loss of contrastively long vowels in effect initiating the gradual loss of long consonants, and he presents an implementation in Optimality Theory.

		The division came into existence naturally, with the growth of the field, and was caused by a mixture of scientific, logistical and sociological factors.
		By the early 1980s, the computational linguistics community started to regain its popularity in the wide world after a fifteen-year hiatus brought about by the ALPAC report.
		This more practical attitude to computational linguistics belongs squarely in the ANLP purview, and the recent conferences reflect this state of affairs.

		The chains are used to structure texts according to the attentional/intentional theory of discourse structure [ Grosz and Sidner1986 ], and the extent of the chains correspond to the extent of a segment.

		I'm still on hiatus, but I thought I would occasionally post what Kottke calls remainders when I have a chance.
		It includes research with both infants and adults, which raises the interesting possibility that the mechanisms that are involved in adults' ability to accommodate changes in their linguistic environment might also subserve infants' initial phonological development.
		One of the topics that I found particularly interesting was adults' ability to accommodate changes in the pronunciation of stop consonants, fricatives, and vowels.

		Perhaps the best known example of a linking-n is the so-called “moveable nu” of ancient Greek: /n/ in pause and in hiatus, but deleted elsewhere (Morwood 2001:3-4; Pharr 1985:185). For this reason we can dub the BH phenomenon “moveable nun”: /n/ surfacing in pause and in hiatus, but deleted elsewhere.
		Indeed, the most common phenomenon associated with “moveable” sonorants (r, n, l) is the conversion of the rule to a global insertion rule in hiatus: “a rule deleting a sonorant in the coda is reversed into a rule introducing it, that is, deletion turns into epenthesis” (Ortmann 1998:59).
