  • Structure of Language and Its Mathematical Aspects: Proceedings of Symposia in Applied Mathematics vol. XII, ed. Roman Jakobson, Providence: American Mathematical Society, 1961.
  • See Studia logica XI (1961). [Warszawa-Poznań].
  • Zs. Telegdi, “Über die Entzweiung der Sprachwissenschaft,” Acta Linguistica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae XII (1962).
  • Such, for example, is the character of the rules for constructing compound words of the type bulldog←dog which is like a bull (see R. B. Lees, The Grammar of English Nominalizations=International Journal of American Linguistics XVI [1960], no. 3, part II).
  • The converse assumption, which strikes Chomsky as more plausible, is interesting from my point of view because it leaves larger possibilities for the construction of a generation process which starts with the semantics of words (at least of some key words).
  • It should be remarked that an apparatus resembling the one under discussion is used quite literately and sensibly in the very interesting study by F. Harary and H. H. Paper, “Toward a General Calculus of Phonemic Distribution,” Language XXXIII (1957), 143–169.
  • R. Jakobson, “Boas' View of Grammatical Meaning,” American Anthropologist LXI (1959), pt. II, 139–145.
  • “Some Methodological Remarks on Generative Grammar,” Word XVII (1961), 219–239, especially 233ff.
  • See, for example, the account of the conference in the city of Gorki contained in Strukturno—tipologičeskie issledovanija, Moscow, 1962, pp. 285–293.
  • H. H. Johnston, A Comparative Study of the Bantu and Semi-Bantu Languages, 2 volumes, Oxford, 1919, 1922; volume I, page 27.
  • M. A. Bryan, in “The T/K Languages: A New Substratum” (Africa XXIX: 1, 1959) presents a more complex picture of language mixture involving these and other languages. Her exclusion of Nilotic from the groups based on the “substratum” ignores the elementary fact that a language can lose a morpheme and even a morphemic contrast. This is like saying that English is not an Indo-European language because it does not have noun cases!
