Dear SEELangs colleagues,
I'm not currently at my university or near any decent
library and would like a better reference than the
one I have at the moment, which is as follows:
> Jakobson, Roman. 1962. Selected Writings 1:
> Phonological Studies. The Hague: Mouton.
I would very much appreciate it if someone with easy
access to this volume could confirm that the
following passage appears on p. 526:
> "There are languages lacking syllables with
> initial vowels and/or syllables with final
> consonants, but there are no languages devoid
> of syllables with initial consonants or of
> syllables with final vowels."
Moreover, for the sake of completeness, I would like
to know which article this passage appeared in, as
well as the citation for the original published
version (if any) of this paper.
Please write to my address <billings at onebox.com>. If
anyone else is interested in the answer, write to me
as well; I don't see why a summary to the entire
list would be necessary in this case.
Thanks in advance, --Loren
