	LINGUIST List 12.971: Geometry and Features of Tone
		Synopsis Broadly speaking, the book consists of four parts: (1) an overview of autosegmental phonology, (2) the conceptual modeling and predictions of Register Tier Theory (RTT), (3) the application of the proposed model to a number of tone languages, and (4) some critique of alternative approaches.
		The author argues that the previous work either fails to provide a way of changing a tonal register independent of the tones, or were unable to account for the cumulative nature of successive downsteps and upstep due to the lack of the relative value of register features.
		However, the two models differ in that in the Snider's model, the register tier and tone tier are independently linked to the tone bearing unit, whereas in Yip's model, the tone tier is dependent on the register tier.

	LINGUISTICS - LING
		The notion of a well-formed derivation is fundamental to all flavors of formal linguistics and all sub-disciplines of linguistics-phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics.
		The purpose of this course is to explore the relationship between linguistic structure and the use of language for artistic purposes.
		This course is an introduction, at the graduate level, to developmental psycho-linguistics with special emphasis on the acquisition of argument structure, phrase structure, the analysis of the input data to the learner, developmental sequences and the acquisition of morphology.

	Some notes on Systemic-Functional linguistics
		The primary construct for explaining linguistic variation is a familiar one "register." Register is important in systemic linguistics because it is seen as the linguistic consequence of interacting aspects of context, which Haliday calls "field, tenor, and mode." Field refers to the topics and actions which language is used to express.
		Applied linguists study language use in context such as the contexts associated with specialized registers (e.g., business or academic), contexts for language learning (e.g., classrooms and study abroad programs), and contexts for language assessment (e.g., speaking tests and writing assignments).
		Of course, the study of texts is typically performed by examining elements of the lexicogrammar and phonology, but these smaller units must be viewed from the perspective of their contribution to the meanings expressed by the total text in context.

	Linguistics
		In addition, second- and third-year students are required to enroll in either Linguistics 241r (Practicum in Syntax and Phonology) or 242r (Practicum in Historical Linguistics).
		While all PhD candidates are expected to acquire a solid background in contemporary linguistic theory, the department places great emphasis on the inseparability of good theoretical work and detailed empirical research, and on the interrelatedness of diachronic and synchronic approaches to the study of linguistic phenomena.
		A general exam in the major field—normally a 48-hour take-home exam—is usually taken at the end of the third or the beginning of the fourth year of study, and must be passed by the end of the fourth year at the latest.

	SIL Publications: 1556710771
		Register Tier Theory, being a theory of phonological features, is integrated into the broader theories of lexical phonology, autosegmental phonology, and optimality theory, where it replaces the single-tier representations for tone that tend to dominate the literature.
		An introduction to autosegmental phonology is presented for the uninitiated reader.
		It will also be of interest to anyone working in feature geometry and to phonology students in general.

	UW Linguistics Romance Degree Requirements
		During the course of the entire M.A.-Ph.D. program, the student must have completed at least 3 courses each in syntax and phonetics/phonology, and 2 in Historical Romance, and have taken a total of 5 500-level classes for which papers or projects are required (LING 504-5-6-7-8-9 do not qualify for this requirement).
		For those holding an MA in Linguistics or a closely related field with overlapping coursework, admission to the Ph.D. program may be granted unconditionally or with the stipulation that one or more M.A.-level deficiencies be made up.
		However, since they will typically be able to start at the higher-level courses, they will have the ability to take more advanced courses earlier (and thus have the opportunity to improve their breadth and/or get through the program more rapidly).

	LG506-806_Hunt.html
		This course is devoted to discussing and elucidating problems in Hebrew phonology, morphology, and syntax beyond the work possible in LG502 and the M.Div.
		Attention will be paid to diachronic aspects (e.g., archaic Hebrew, late Biblical Hebrew, Rabbinic Hebrew), dialects (e.g., northern vs. southern), and register (e.g., poetry vs. prose, vernacular vs.
		This kind of study is requisite for those who will be engaged in the ministry of academic study and teaching of the Old Testament.

	Some notes on Systemic-Functional linguistics
		Of course, the study of texts is typically performed by examining elements of the lexicogrammar and phonology, but these smaller units must be viewed from the perspective of their contribution to the meanings expressed by the total text in context.
		A single lexicogrammar is also useful for expressing the probablistic nature of language cited in corpus based linguistic research: some lexical/syntactic patterns are more likely to co occur than others depending on register.
		He argues that "grammar cannot be modeled as new sentences made out of old words a fixed stock of vocabulary in never to be repeated combination" (Halliday, 1985b, p.

	Vietic languages
		The Vietic comparative reconstruction indicates that glottalised rimes need to be reconstructed as a feature of the proto-phonology, as etyma with glottalised rimes in Arem and other small Vietic languages with the same tone reflexes are cognate with the otherwise exceptional Vietnamese words, e.g.:
		A similar feature is found among some Ta'Oi dialects of Katuic, and Diffloth (1989) suggested that these systems are cognate, and derive from a Proto-Mon-Khmer creaky voice register.
		The feature of glottalised rimes is significant, and may or may not be very ancient.

	Pearic languages
		From the perspective of comparative phonology the reconstruction is rather incomplete - unfortunately sources were not yet available that reliably distinguished the 4 registers, and while Headley noted the phenomenon of "prefinal" glottals (as he called them) decided to leave the question "to future linguists".
		Phonologically the group is remarkable, showing a 4-way register system that combines both breathy and creaky phonation.
		This 4-way system is similar to the systems found among Vietic languages, except that the creaky phonation is definitely realised as a glottal restriction during the phonation of the vowel, rather than with the final consonant.

	1993-94 INDIVIDUAL SCHOLARSHIP ANNUAL REPORT
		Gene Gragg presented a paper, "Phonology, Comparative Method, and Etymological Databases," at the Third International Symposium on Cushitic and Omotic Languages held in Berlin March 17-19.
		Work this year has centered on using the database's cognate sets to infer and register the correspondence sets and sound changes ("sound laws"), which recapitulate the historical evolution of the language family.
		A project of similar nature in Berkeley and Lyons, covering the hundreds of Bantu languages in Africa, had independently set similar goals (updatable multi-user, multi-platform electronic etymological database) and means (commercially available micro-computer-accessible database managing system), and are investigating how much of the architecture and programs of CUSHLEX can be adapted to their situation.

	Memory of the World Register - The Hunmin Chong Manuscript - Republic of Korea
		Therefore King Sejong, after studying Chinese prosody and the orthographies of neighbouring countries and analyzing the current state of Korean phonology, invented the 28 alphabetic letters of the Hunmin Chongum, which both allowed a perfect representation of Korean and were easy to learn.
		It is a great task to designate Hunmin Chongum, of which there is only one in the world, as not only a national treasure of Korea but also a world cultural relic which should be preserved forever.
		The numbers of characters per vertical line and the number of lines per page in the first section, the main text written by Sejong the Great, are different from those in the second section, the commentaries by the scholars of the Hall of Worthies including Chong In-Ji's Postface.
