Hi,
just read that the North Caucasian language TABASSARAN (or: TABASARAN, TABASARANTSY, GHUMGHUM) has 52 cases. Is that true? Does anyone have further information? Which language has the largest number of cases? Thanks for any input, IP - Dr. Ingrid Piller Seminar fuer Englische Sprache und Kultur Universitaet Hamburg Von-Melle-Park 6 D - 20146 HAMBURG phone: +49-40-4123-4855 fax: +49-40-4123-4856 mailto:fs7a001@rrz.uni-hamburg.de Hi.. I am a post-graduate student writing my P.hD on the acquisition of negation in Modern Greek. I would be grateful if you could share pieces of information or data. Please indicate my name (VASSO KOURBANI) IN THE SUBJECT AREA thanks in advance Dear Linguists, not being particularly in to sociolinguistic literature myself, I do hope some of you could help me with references to (preferably not too inaccessible) literature on the sociolinguistic aspects of the following two (distinct) phenomena: (A) secret signalization codes among children approaching (but still not having fully reached) the age of adolescence, particularly so-called ''Double-Dutch'' (a more or less invariant standard syllable is inserted into every word to render it unrecognizable) in various languages of the World; (B) exclusivist, but not particularly secretive youth-specific slang, so-called ''Youthese'', among teenagers (adolescents), functioning as peer, in-group, or clique trademark. If you know of publications in which the two phenomena were compared with each other, I would be interested in that too. Please answer directly to me. I'll post a complete summary. Thanks in advance and regards, Waruno - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Waruno Mahdi tel: +49 30 8413-5301 Faradayweg 4-6 fax: +49 30 8413-3155 14195 Berlin email: mahdi@fhi-berlin.mpg.de Germany WWW: http://w3.rz-berlin.mpg.de/~wm/ - --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
