Subject: variant pronunciation of "whore"
I have sometimes heard the word "whore" pronounced something like /hua/, with
the vowel shifted to a true u-sound as in "who" and with the r shifted to a
schwa. I'm pretty sure this is an East Coast dialect pronunciation, possibly
working class or lower middle class, but I'm not sure... Does anyone out there
know the exact location/class of this variant?

Dear Linguists,
In his 1999 article (Localization and predication, in Fuchs and
Roberts (eds.) Language Diversity and Cognitive Representations,
John Benjamins, pp. 107-122), Hanjsakob Seiler refers to a
distinction between sense and meaning, which he says he takes from
Coseriu. Unfortunetely, he does not make any specific reference to
Coseriu's writings. Seiler says (pp. 117-118):
'We must distinguish between semantics (meaning) and sense - in
keeping with the well-known precepts of E. Coseriu. Semantics
(meaning) pertains to a particular concrete language, not to language
in general. Sense pertains to content, to the conceptual: this is the
decisive level for all translation activity.'
Can anyone direct me to Coseriu's original formulation of the ideas
(preferably in English, although that might be difficult)?
With best Christmas wishes,
