Believing that ordinary language had lost its power to express certain philosophical ideas, Heidegger often looked to earlier meanings of words or parsed derived words in order to analyze separate morphemes. An appreciation of this approach is central in understanding Heidegger’s work. He also believed that etymologizing was essential in interpreting the works of the writers to whom he felt most akin: Pre-Socratic philosophers such as Anaximander, Heraclitus, and Parmenides. These early Greek thinkers were clearly using language in a new way, and many of their works exist only in fragments. The meanings of particular words and phrases is thus often unclear, and it is possible that etymology could provide some indication of the writer’s intention. Many of Heidegger’s etymologies, however, are far from standard and are used to produce novel and often unusual interpretations. The present paper will review a number of Heidegger’s etymologies (of varying authenticity), the manner in which he arrived at them, and their import in the interpretation of certain texts. The general question will then be taken up concerning the legitimate uses and abuses of etymology in such interpretation.","PeriodicalId":84010,"journal":{"name":"Word & world","volume":"10 1","pages":"1 - 10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87037225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Why is the syllable the most salient unit of speech? Phoneticians cannot agree on what people recognize when counting or manipulating syllables. Phoneticians can, though, specify what the speech organs do during speech production – the configurations of lips, tongue, larynx, pharynx, and airstream closures that result in the perceived sounds of speech (“consonants” and “vowels”). Phoneticians also recognize “features” whose durations do not necessarily correspond with those of the “segments” that constitute morphemes. Yet it is neither segments nor features that are recorded in earliest writing. An answer is found in the typology of writing systems, the ways the sounds of language are treated by grammarians and linguists ancient and modern, and the ways devised for children to learn to read.","PeriodicalId":84010,"journal":{"name":"Word & world","volume":"18 1","pages":"91 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89469189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When a General Classifier Acts as a Quantifier? The Case of Ħabbit ‘a Grain of’ in Jordanian Arabic 当通用分类器充当量词时?Ħabbit在约旦阿拉伯语中的“一粒”案例

Jaradat, Marwan Jarrah","doi":"10.1080/00437956.2022.2084664","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/00437956.2022.2084664","url":null,"abstract":"This article offers a morphosyntactic account of the observation that the general dividing classifier ħabbit ‘a grain of’ in Jordanian Arabic (JA) can express another unpredictable interpretation when it is combined with non-count nominals. When ħabbit occurs with nominals that refer to [-animate] collectives (granular aggregates, legumes, nuts and seeds), it can give rise to individuation or paucal quantification. On the other hand, when it occurs with tiny atoms, it works as a quantifier. This essentially implies that the function of ħabbit as a divider or a quantifier in JA is determined with reference to the ontological properties of the nominal with which it combines. We propose that such readings are sensitive to whether Division Phrase (DivP) or Quantity Phrase (QP) is projected in the inflectional domain of the non-count nominals. When ħabbit merges under Div0, an individuation reading is resulted. By contrast, when ħabbit merges under Q0, paucal quantification reading is derived. Further, the dividing function of ħabbit in JA does not support Borer’s (2005) proposal that division/classification is the only function of plural marking. It is rather ħabbit that divides, in line with Mathieu (2013) and Mathieu and Zareikar (2015) who propose that the plural can be counting.","PeriodicalId":84010,"journal":{"name":"Word & world","volume":"100 1","pages":"422 - 438"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76735811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Keeping with previous sign-analyses of this form, can is seen as a member of a grammatical system. Contrary to previous analyses, however, can is shown to contribute to a larger range of messages than previously identified, a range that calls for repositioning can in the system of Likelihood. Can’s unique position within the system allow for all message elements found to be associated with can – those well-known of “ability” and “possibility”, as well as many others. Data for the qualitative analyses are drawn from The Art of Gathering (Parker 2018), which provides rich context to support the proposed meaning of can, and demonstrates the need to go beyond the sentence to understand the communicative effects of can. The hypothesis receives further support quantitatively from the written portion of the Corpus of Contemporary American English (Davies 2008). While the focus of this study is on the unique value of can within the system of Likelihood, tentative hypotheses are offered for the other members of the system (e.g., must, may and could).","PeriodicalId":84010,"journal":{"name":"Word & world","volume":"42 1","pages":"439 - 459"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81582239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are premature responses which overlap utterances containing a variable interrogative tag, e.g., It’s nice, isn’t it. They are orientated towards the proposition contained in the tag question. Our research is grounded in a corpus of spoken British English and, employs methods and insights from corpus linguistics, conversation analysis and phonetics. Based on the clustering of observed grammatical, discoursal and prosodic features we propose a typology of the interactional functions of overlapping responses, i.e., acknowledgements, continuers, disagreements, non-committals and turn-competitive early responses. We show that such responses are not errors but rather function as part of the well-oiled machinery of spontaneous dialogue. We show that the typology of overlaps proposed by Jefferson ([1983]. “Two Explorations of the Organization of Overlapping Talk in Conversation.” Language and Literature 28: 1–33) is unable to fully distinguish between the functional categories identified in our data. Hence we suggest that a taxonomy of overlaps must be based on the patterning of formal and functional features. Our data provide evidence that tag questions are responded to a syntagmatic wholes rather than as a sequence of two parts: anchor and tag.","PeriodicalId":84010,"journal":{"name":"Word & world","volume":"107 1","pages":"253 - 276"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79379094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
