Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remarks on the Subject of Language: With Some Observations in the Form of Notes, Illustrative of the Information Which Language May Afford of the History and Opinions of Mankind IT is necessary to remark, with respect to the nature of the evidence which the following pages alford of the conclusions deduced from them, that the question is not whether these conclusions are in every instance correct, or sufficiently borne out; it would be absurd to suppose that they were: with respect to particulars, facts unknown to me may exist which would modify or refute the inference. But the question is with respect to general results, whether such a concurrence in different languages, in different and remote portions of the earth, and at periods of the earliest antiquity, can by possibility be attributed to accident. This is proof, and the only species of proof of which such subjects admit. It has been justly and judiciously remarked by o'brien, the author of the Irish Dictionary, That it is a selfevident position that no language can have words significant of any such things, or modes of things, as the people who speak it never had any sort of knowledge of, by being objects either of their senses or their The very arbitrary and diversified principles on which the languages of the world have been constructed, and the general coincidence in the signs and things signified, evince the distance of the periods to which these common conceptions of things, and the use of the oral signs for them, are to be referred.

Book excerpt: This is without doubt the most important book ever written on the subject of Language and Linguistics. It is a basic book, covering all the then known branches of the large field. It is therefore must reading for anybody interested in a deep study of languages. This is a book which is basic in its subject and popular enough to be of interest to the general reader. The psychological and formal characteristics of speech are carefully established and after studying the historical factors that have molded it the author has devoted his last chapters to the wider bearings of linguistic science and to furnishing a clear understanding as the ever changing instruments of our emotions and mental activity. "This book of Mr. Sapir's distinguishes itself from other general treatment of the problems of linguistics by its power to stimulate thoughts about the subject. There is nothing trite or matter-of-fact between the covers. The discussions sporing from an unusually wide acquaintance with language in all its varieties and a scholarly understanding of the principles of psychology underlying expression. But, more than by its learning, the book impresses us by its quick insight and acute analysis. A capital illustration is the treatment of the problem of classifying languages. . . . There is also a great deal that is suggestive in what the writer has said about the process in phonetic change. Especially noteworthy in this connection is the emphasis he places on what he calls 'patterning'. . . . Closely related to patterning is the discussion of 'drift', the idea that changes in language are not random but move in a definite direction. . . . A gratifying feature, not unusual in books of this class is a chapter showing the dependence of literary style on the phonetic and formal characteristics of a language."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in depth analysis of the different ways in which bilingual speakers switch from one language to another in the course of conversation. This phenomenon, known as code-mixing or code-switching, takes many forms. Pieter Muysken adopts a comparative approach to distinguish between the different types of code-mixing, drawing on a wealth of data from bilingual settings throughout the world. His study identifies three fundamental and distinct patterns of mixing - 'insertion', 'alternation' and 'congruent lexicalization' - and sets out to discover whether the choice of a particular mixing strategy depends on the contrasting grammatical properties of the languages involved, the degree of bilingual competence of the speaker or various social factors. The book synthesizes a vast array of recent research in a rapidly growing field of study which has much to reveal about the structure and function of language.
