Happy holidays from the Sesquipedalian! We hope you enjoy this
rendition of 'The Night Before Christmas' as translated into Chinook

-\-\-\ LOOK WHO'S TALKING /-/-/-
-- John Baugh (Professor of Education and Linguistics) gave the
keynote address at 'Sprachenpolitik in Mittel- und Osteuropa,' an
international linguistics conference sponsored by the University of
Vienna, on November 25. John's paper was titled 'Linguistic prejudice
in educational context.' He also presented a lecture entitled
'Dimensions of a theory of econolinguistics' to the University of
Vienna Linguistics Department. Earlier he had presented
'Dimensions...' in Budapest in a series of talks sponsored by the
Hungarian Academy of Science, along with two related lectures titled
'Linguistics, Education, and the Law.'
-\-\-\ LINGUISTICS COLLOQUIUM /-/-/-
The last Linguistics Department Colloquium of Autumn Quarter will be
held on Friday, December 10th at 3:30 pm in Cordura 100 (CSLI). The
speaker will be Lisa Green, a Stanford Humanities and Sciences
Postdoctoral Fellow.
Habitual Aspect in African American English: Beyond 'Be'
Lisa Green
The analysis of habitual aspect in this study can account for
aspectual markers 'be', BIN (stressed 'been'), and 'be done', which have
some element of habituality associated with them.
1. Bruce be reading during class.
'Bruce usually reads during class'
2. Bruce BIN reading during class.
'For a long time, Bruce has had the habit of reading during class'
3. Bruce be done read when class starts.
'By the time class starts, Bruce has usually already read'
In (1-3) a habitual operator (HAB), which binds variables over time, is
used to relate an event to a particular time. For example the 'be'
construction in (1) refers to a generalization with respect to an
eventuality which occurs or holds on particular occasions. This is
expressed in the representation in (4) in which HAB relates the 'singing'
to occasions that are during class time:
4. HAB(t) [during class, t] [read (Bruce,t)]
The representation says that habitually on occasions that are during class
time, Bruce cries then.
Aspectual markers can be characterized by the meaning they assign,
and they can be distinguished from finite auxiliaries. In this study,
these markers are base generated in ASP (head of Aspect Phrase) while
finite auxiliaries are base generated in AUX (head of Auxiliary Phrase).
In aspectual marker constructions, finite auxiliaries host tense and
negation and occur in VP deletion:
5. Do Bruce be reading during class?
6. Bruce don't be reading during class.
7. Bruce be reading during class and Sue do too.
This analysis accounts for the type of meaning associated with habitual
aspectual markers in African American English and shows how finite
auxiliaries are used to support these markers in certain constructions.
-\-\-\ CALL FOR PAPERS /-/-/-
-- Computational Linguistics for Speech and Handwriting Recognition: A
one-day workshop organised by L.J. Evett & T.G. Rose as part of the
AISB 1994 Workshop Series (12th April 1994, Leeds University,
England). Reliable speech and handwriting recognition cannot be
achieved through pattern recognition techniques alone. Natural
language input is notoriously ambiguous, and the application of higher
level knowledge is necessary to cope with this and other difficulties.
Previous attempts to implement linguistic knowledge have often
employed a logic based approach, drawing on a lexicon of symbolic
information. However, recent technological advances have allowed the
development of large text corpora from which probabilistic linguistic
data may be derived. Consequently, there has been a renewal of
interest in techniques based upon such statistical information. This
workshop aims to compare these two approaches, and evaluate their
present (and potential) contribution to speech and handwriting
recognition. The workshop will also consider related language
processing problems, such as parsing, word class formation, part of
speech tagging, sense disambiguation, discourse analysis, and the
development of on-line lexical resources. Please submit an extended
abstract (max. 500 words) to the address below. Email submissions are
strongly encouraged. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to
write a full paper for inclusion in the proceedings. Abstracts due
28th January, 1994. Acceptance notification 4th February, 1994. Full
paper due 11th March, 1994. Please send submissions and correspondence to
L.J. Evett, Department of Computing, Nottingham Trent University,

-\-\-\ WORD OF THE WEEK /-/-/-
This word was specially phoned in to our office this morning:
'rutilant.' The crack research staff has determined that, while now
rare, it is defined as 'glowing, shining, gleaming, glittering, with
either a ruddy or golden light.' No doubt you will all find ample
opportunity to use this word throughout the holiday season.
-\-\-\ FELLOWSHIPS/ASSISTANTSHIPS /-/-/-
-- UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX: Laboratory of Experimental Psychology.
RESEARCH FELLOW (1A) IN EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY (PSYCHOLINGUISTICS).
Applications are invited for a RESEARCH FELLOW to work with Drs Gerry
Altmann and Alan Garnham on a three year project, entitled "Thematic
Roles in Parsing: Assigning Roles and Resolving Ambiguities". The
project will investigate the time-course of thematic role assignment
during sentence processing, and the degree to which such assignment
can influence the resolution of local syntactic ambiguities. The main
duty of the postholder will be to design, run and analyse eye-movement
monitoring and cross-modal priming experiments. Research experience
(and a Ph.D) in experimental psycholinguistics would, therefore, be an
advantage. The project is funded by the UK Economic and Social
Research Council, and is due to start on April 1st 1994, or as soon as
possible thereafter. Appointment will be on the Research Faculty 1A
scale. Starting salary will be within the first four points of the
scale (in the range 12,828 - 15,186, UK pounds sterling). Informal
enquiries can be addressed to either Gerry Altmann or Alan Garnham.

e-mail: gerrya at epunix.sussex.ac.uk
Alan Garnham
Phone: +44-(0)273-678337
e-mail: alang at epunix.sussex.ac.uk
Applications, including curriculum vitae and the names and addresses of
three referees, should be sent to Dr. Gerry T.M. Altmann, Laboratory of
Experimental Psychology, Sussex University, Brighton BN1 9QG. UK., to
arrive by January 7th, 1994.
The objectives of the project are:
(1) To further our understanding of the mechanism underlying syntactic
ambiguity resolution during sentence comprehension. The debate on what
kinds of information can inform the processor's initial parsing decisions
is far from resolved, and one objective of the research is to provide
further data on this issue, and to enable further theoretical refinement to
current models.
(2) To explore the time-course of thematic role assignment during
sentence comprehension. One aspect of the debate in (1) concerns the use
that thematic role information can be put to during ambiguity resolution.
If thematic roles are assigned early enough, then such assignments should,
in appropriate circumstances, influence the options open to the syntactic
processor. Again, the objective is to accumulate new evidence to address
these theoretical issues.
(3) To explore a novel syntactic parsing preference (found in
coordinated structures) and establish whether the cause of the preference
is purely structural (which we believe is unlikely) or whether it is
pragmatically based. Following previous work by ourselves, we shall
establish the influence of referential context on the parsing preference.
The aim here is to provide further support for the idea that thematic roles
are assigned as early as possible, and that this neccesarily involves
identifying referents as early as possible.
(4) To provide converging evidence for the notion that thematic roles
can be assigned even before such assignment is unambiguously signalled by
the syntax. We use the term "converging" in two senses: (i) that new
sentence constructions will be explored, and (ii) that different
experimental methodologies will be used (eye-tracking as a tool for
detecting processing anomalies caused by too early an assignment of
thematic roles, and cross-modal priming as a tool for detecting
reactivation of antecedents to which roles are assigned).

-\-\-\ TRUE LINGUISTS /-/-/-
An article in Forbes magazine reports:
Nike has a television commercial for hiking shoes that was shot in
Kenya using Samburu tribesmen. The camera closes in on one tribesman
who speaks in native Maa. As he speaks, the Nike slogan 'Just Do It'
appears on the screen in subtitle.
Lee Cronk, an anthropologist at the University of Cincinatti, says the
Kenyan is really saying, 'I don't want these. Give me big shoes.'
Says Nike's Elizabeth Dolan: 'We thought nobody in America would know
what he said.'
