For the past decade ADS has cosponsored the DSNA summer meeting, and 1991 should be no exception. The meeting draws 50 to 75 practicing lexicographers and linguists for two or three days of intense lexicophilia, an experience not to be missed.

The next ADS Newsletter will have full details and a call for papers.

ADS Annual Meeting 1990-ChicagoThe American Dialect Society enters its 101st year

in a suite location—the Barclay Chicago Hotel—with a delicious program of worldwide scope all day Sat­urday, Dec. 29 and Sunday morning, Dec. 30. The program has been enriched since the preliminary an­nouncement in the May Newsletter, and as a conse­quence many of the events have had to be rescheduled. See Pages 4 through 7 for details.

Dialects World Wide is the theme for program sessions at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday. Then comes an overview of Dialects in the United States and a look at New Words of 1990. That night ADS offers A World of English at the MLA convention two-thirds of a mile away.

Sunday morning the 30th brings the ADS business meeting and six papers, followed by the Annual Luncheon (see notice at right).New Words of 1990: Help, Please

On Saturday, Dec. 29, at 7 p.m. in the St. Clair Room of the Barclay Hotel, ADS will make history, or at least comment on it, in a new program called New Words of 1990. ADS president T homas Creswell will moderate; panelists will be John Algeo of “Among the New Words” and D avid B arnhart of The Barnhart Dictionary Companion. The media will be invited for this event. (Who knows whether they will come.)

Attention, meanwhile, ADS members! Nomina­tions are called for: The most outrageous word of 1990, the most original or innovative, most amazing, most useful, most unnecessary, most likely to succeed.

Nominations may, but need not, be accompanied by indignant, admiring, awestruck, appreciative, scornful, philosophical or philological observations. Whenever possible, include a citation, preferably a clipping or xerographic copy with the essential bib­liographical information. Oralcitationsareencouraged, with as much context as possible, including when, where, and by whom spoken.

If one of your nominations is chosen as Word for the Year, you will receive a breathtakingly appropri­ate prize. Winners will be announced at the panel.

Send nominations to Algeo at English Dept., Univ. of Georgia, Athens GA 30602 or Barnhart at Lexik House, PO Box 247, Cold Spring NY 10516. Today!

Lunch on the LakeRiddle: What’s called “The Lake Shore Drive” and

has Oriental vegetable soup, chicken Maui with plum sauce, vegetable medley with rice, coconut ice cream, beverage, and page proofs of DARE Volume II? The 1990 ADS Annual Luncheon, of course, at noon Sunday, Dec. 30 in the Superior Room of the Barclay Hotel Chicago, with ADS president Thomas Creswell presiding and announcing the new Presidential Hon­orary Members. Fred Cassidy will bring us up to date on DARE. The LSD costs $24, everything included, and it’s important to notify the Executive Secretary in advance if you’d like a place.

Next door on Superior Street is Benihana of Tokyo, a pizza place, and Nieman Marcus, where the City Market sells groceries which

you can prepare in your full kitchen. (Utensils are provided without charge.)

Leave your hair dryer at home! and get blown away by powerful built-in dryers in all suites.

The complimentary continental breakfast buffet in the private Barclay Club isn’t just styrofoam coffee and a doughnut We’re talking power breakfast, with tablecloths and real dishes and yogurt, fruit juices, breads, muffins, croissants, cereals, coffee and tea.

Papers by Hermann Scheuringer on Austria, M aria P olyakova on Russia, Maoris K ontra on Hungary, and F umio Inoue and Daniel L ong on Japan. Presiding: Michael Linn, ADS vice president.

Polarization in Japan Dialects. Daniel L ong, Osaka Univ.—Japanese dialects can be divided into two major groups by a line drawn roughly through the middle of the main island of Honshu. I will give examples of variation in morpho-syntax and pitch accent systems, the major bases for these divisions. The two large groups are, however, subdivided into a great number of smaller dialects.

Still today the dialects of older speakers show great geographical differences even over small areas, but the speech of younger speakers is unquestionably undergoing dramatic changes. Many of these changes can be seen as dialect polarization, with convergence of Eastern dialects to the Tokyo model and of Western dialects to the Osaka-Kyoto model.

etymological types and the subject areas that have been most productive of neologisms.

New words are a mappa mundi of cultural change, an index to the concerns, preoccupations, enthusiasms, and aspirations of society. A backward glance at this record observes the innovations that have faded and also those that have endured.

9:25 Eighteenth-century American English Ac­cording to Noah Webster. H erbert P enzl, Univ. of California, Berkeley.—Webster’s reform plans were not successful except for a few orthographic trifles. But he provides in his publications interesting evi­dence for the status of standard (British?) English and the American dialects (them things, the New England o, etc.) at his time.

9:50 Malay Borrowings in English. G arland Cannon, Texas A&MUniv.— The known 345 Malay primary borrowings are more numerous and different than has been previously thought. There are no caiques, and nouns constitute 96 percent of the items. The search particularly utilized an electronic search of the integrated second edition of the OED, with an additional 396 secondary items being collected. These 396 include variant and obsolete forms, as well as compounds, functional shifts, derivations, and other forms developed atleastpartly from naturalized Malay borrowings into English. A high 28 percent of the primary items (97) were transmitted into English equally from Malay and another language (such as Arabic or Sanskrit), or came into English through a language different from Malay (such as Latin or French).

The chronology ranges from dammar atabout 1400, to 143 items in the nineteenth century and 48 in the twentieth century. Like the Japanese and Chinese borrowings, the items have remained mainly in their Asian contexts and have not developed many addi­tional meanings. There are 103 botanical itemsand 54 that denote fauna, with 35 ethnographic and/or lin­guistic items. Only a few of the nouns are mass nouns, and only a handful carried their possible reduplication into English (agar-agar, but not *orang- orang). Perhaps 22 percent belong to general interna­tional English, as compared to 12.8 percent of the Japanese and 20 percent of the Chinese corpus.

9:00-12:00, St. Clair Room, Barclay Hotel Presiding: ADS President Thomas J. Creswell. Phonetic Transcription and Eye Dialect in James

Joyce. Thomas L. Clark, Univ. of Nevada, Las Ve­gas.—Joyce made a voice recording of a dialogue between two characters in the Anna Livia Plurabell section of Finnegans Wake. I transcribed the record­ing phonetically and compared it with the creative spelling Joyce used. The Irish flavor of pronunciation is copied by his spellings.

direction of George Hempl (1855-1921), then profes­sor of Germanic philosophy at the University of Michigan and ADS president from 1901 to 1905. He left Michigan in 1905 to accept a professorship at Stanford.

Born in Wisconsin, Hempl graduated from Michigan in 1879 and a decade later earned a Ph.D. at Jena. In addition to his philological endeavors— notable among them was a series of articles on alleged North American runic inscriptions—Hempl was a spelling reformer and a well-known writer on whist. His most memorable accomplishment, however, was the massive dialect survey encompassing Canada, the United States, and (very sketchily) the anglophone Caribbean islands. His “first report on the distribution of American dialect” appeared in the first volume of Dialect Notes (1896), a well-known essay on “Grease and Greasy.” In it, Hempl proposed the division of the United States into fourregions: North, South, Midland, and West.

Hempl’s methods were based on the Deutscher Sprachatlas, and his results compiled from a question­naire widely distributed by mail and through publica­tion in popular magazines.

His records survive in two collections: one at the Bentley Library in Ann Arbor; the other at the CecilH. Green Library at Stanford. I will circulate copies of Hempl’s questionnaire, describe the surviving archives, and discuss his methods and results.

10:00 Orthoepic Evidence of Early American Pronunciation. Daniel Brink , Arizona State Univ.— The orthoepic evidence of early American pronun­ciation is frustrating material to work with. For example, a careful reading of the Journal o f Madam Knight, an invaluable source of information on early American pronunciation, reveals a conscious attempt to distinguish at least four types of speech: her own, unlettered (rural Connecticut), Native American, and Afro-American. Clearly, any assessment of non­standard forms from this source should specify which of these social groups is speaking. Generally speak­ing, this is not the case.

Similarly, the “Vulgar Errors” warned against in EllioltandJohnson’sPronouncingDictionary (1800), while invaluable as evidence of the actual everyday

Sunday, December 30: Creativity, Movies, Corpus and DAREspeech of 18th-century New England, show clear influence from Dearborn’s Columbian Grammar (1795), and, ultimately, from British orthoSpic sources.

These and a variety of similar early American orthogpic sources will be reassessed in this paper, seeking to distinguish more carefully between the simple occurrence of a non-standard form and the true value of such occurrences for an understanding of the nature of early American English, in all its varieties.

10:30The People Speak: Spontaneous Creativity in Language. Victoria Neufeldt, Webster’s New World Dictionary.—Using evidence in our citation files, I will deal with three contemporary approaches to word formation: 1) productive traditional and up- and-coming affixes, e.g. -manship (aidsmanship, cookmanship, drinkmanship), -eroo (chokeroo, folderoo, smasheroo), and -ismo (consumerismo, paternalismo); 2) the relatively recent phenomenon of creating compound adjectives that are noun + adjective combinations instead of the usual and tra­ditional phrase consisting of adjective+ preposition (+ modifier) + noun, e.g. age-appropriate, risk-averse, jet-capable; and 3) the use of certain nouns and adjectives as combining forms for nonce compounds,e.g. ass (raggedy-ass, dumb-ass), fest (cassettefest, shoutfest, thinkfest), and side (deckside, shoreside, swampside).

11:00 “They’ve Clipped ’em and Dipped ’em, and They’re Hauling in the Meat”: Movie Set Jargon. Allyn P artin, DialectCoach, Hollywood.— Have you ever watched the credits at the end of a movie and scratched your head over the term s dolly grip, Foley, or gaffer? Why DO they needa second, second assistant director?

All day long, on movie sets everywhere Juicers kill the baby, we lose the kids, get wrapped, check the gate, and are on a bell.

By the end of this talk (which will NOT be M.0.5.), you will have followed a movie from start to finish, and will know as much jargon as someone who is in the business!

11:30 The American Contribution to an Inter­national Corpus of English. Charles M eyer, Univ. of Massachusetts, Boston.—An international research project is developing computerized corpora of the

many varieties of English that have developed around the world in countries such as Great Britain, Canada, the United States, India, and Nigeria. Although the project has just begun, it has raised some interesting questions concerning just how one develops compa­rable corpora in countries as diverse as, say, India and Great Britain.

Chair: Bates Hoffer, Trinity University. Program: A Pilot Survey in the Middle Rocky Mountain

States. LEEPEDERsoNand M ichael W. Madsen, Emory Univ.—This report outlines methods of the Linguistic Adas of the Middle Rocky Mountain States—Wyo­ming, Colorado, and Utah. The research begins a Linguistic Atlas of the Western States, a survey of American English folk speech in Montana, Idaho, New Mexico, West Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Cali­fornia, Oregon, and Washington, to follow the pilot. The work extends LAGS method and aims to produce a fully automatic atias in microform. The schedule includes Wyoming field work (1988), Wyoming protocol composition and concordance programming (1989), Colorado and Utah field work (1991) with editing completed in 1993. Our report addresses implications of these tasks.

P ro p re d ic a te s in th e E n g lish of th e Intermountain West. M arianna D i Paolo, Univ. of Utah.—The propredicate do (as in the second clause of I send Express Mail to foreign countries and have done for several years) has been the subject of a number of studies discussing its development in British English, its distribution in certain subordinate clauses in all regional varieties of English, and its probable historical sources. (Joos 1964, Butters 1983, Kato and Butters 1987, and Butters 1988.) This paper presents data showing that the distribution of the propredicate for some native speakers of Intermountain English is like that of speakers of British English. The data consists of both naturally-occurring examples such as the example below as well as speakers ’ j udgements of sentences containing propredicates.

I don't know if Martha saw it. She may have done.

A large number of rural speakers as well as urban speakers are included in the sample. The paper also discusses the social distribution of the propredicate construction in the Intermountain West which suggests that recent British immigration may have brought it to the area.

Back Vowel Lowering in the Salt Lake City Area. Bonnie Clark, Univ. of Utah.—In portions of the United States, many dialects currently lower the vowel/u/ to [o] w(ien it precedes an /r/. An analysis of usage in Salt Lake City, Utah showed that use of the non-standard pronunciation ([tor] for tour and [kors] for Coors) varied not only with socioeconomic status, but with sex as well. In rapid anonymous interviews carried out over the telephone with both convenience store workers and travel agents, the lower SES classes and women, surprisingly, showed a much higher percentage of lowering than didmen in the same jobs.

Lummie! Don’t Be in a Frightful Taking-on About It! A Discussion of the Language in the Novels of Ngaio Marsh. J oanne Andrews Padderud, Univ. of Nevada, Las Vegas.—This study was under­taken in an attempt to identify non-American English vocabulary and idiomatic expressions in the novels of New Zealand writer Ngaio Marsh. Three of Marsh’s novels were studied: Death in Ecstasy (1936), Dead Water (1963), and Light Thickens (1982). These particular novels were selected primarily because of their publication dates, thus representing three different periods of Marsh’s writing. The vocabulary and expressions which appeared to be non-American were noted and catalogued, and, at the same time, an attempt was made to define them according to textual clues, if the meaning was not immediately apparent. British and Australian dictionaries were consulted to fill in any gaps in meaning.

sity, Northridge. Program:Areal Dialects in a Creole Setting. Frank Byrne,

Shawnee State Univ.—Creolists have traditionally focused many of their studies on the great amount of inter- and intra-personal variation in certain creole communities which exhibitlectal continua. However, there have been few, if any, studies on areal variation. If there is no continuum within a creole community, the general unstated assumption is that the language is somewhat homogeneous. In one case, Saramaccan, such an assumption has ledboth to erroneous conclusions and unnecessary polemics. The reality is that Saramaccan has distinct dialect areas formed largely through internal change and diverse external forces during the hundred-year period of tribal and language formation.

Describing Dialectal Varieties in English M onolingual L e a rn e rs ’ D ictionaries. J ohn B attenburg, California Polytechnic State Univ., San Luis Obispo.—Lexicographers face difficult chal­lenges when accounting for dialectal varieties. These problems are magnified when compiling English monolingual learners’ dictionaries (MLDs) for second and foreign language students. Either Received Pronunciation or Standard American English has com­monly been recorded within MLDs; however, neither dialect is particularly well-suited for the needs of language learners. In this paper, problems with han­dling dialects in MLDs will be outlined, current practices will be surveyed, and various solutions will be suggested.

William Faulkner and the Evolution of a Literary Dialect. G arry Ross, Henderson State Univ.—Re­cent work in sociolinguistics has suggested that the differences between black and white speech are differ­

ences in frequency rather than kind. William Faulkner was aware of the similarities in the two types of speech and in his novels did not make distinctions between features used by Black and White folk speakers. This paper catalogues the linguistic features of Faulkner’s speakers in As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury and Light in August and concludes that the features commonly associated with BEV are used by both his WhitefolkspeakersandhisBlackspeakers. Inaddition, comparisons between Faulkner’s use of selected paradigms and recent data on White folk speech and BEV will be made.

Program:Can One Be Important and Nice at the Same

Time? Perceptions of Southern Speech in Hoosierdom. Law rence M. Davis and C h a rle s L. H ouck, Ball State Univ.—Southern speech forms are ubiquitous in central Indiana, even though our previ­ous study shows that women evidencing southern features are ranked lower socially than those with northern features. We plan to play tapes of the speech of four women—two northern speakers and two southern ones—to classes of first-semester students and ask them about the social status and personality of each speaker. We should be able to make certain generalizations regarding the universality of reactions to perceived standard English speech.

Midwest Regional Meeting (Cont.), South Atlanticlumbia.—John Kenyon’s “Rip Van Winkle” passage was recorded by three male and four female natives of the Western Reserve area of Northeastern Ohio. The eldest, Kenyon himself, was bom in 1874, and the youngest in 1972. The only major change in the phonemic inventory during the century has been the merging of low back vowels; other changes include raising and tensing of the low front vowel and loss of some vowel contrasts before /r/.

Aspects of Belgian English in Wisconsin’s Door Peninsula. D onald W. Larmouth, Univ. of Wiscon­sin, Green Bay—Wisconsin’s Door Peninsula was settled by Belgian immigrants, both Flemish- and French-speaking. English in the Door Peninsula con­tains residue from immigrant speech, including pho­nological transfer such as replacement of interdental [ 0 ] and [ 9 ] by apico-dental [t] and [d], devoicing of voiced final stops and continuants such as [d] > [t], [z] > [s], etc. At the grammatical level, there are some distinctive items, such as the use of ain’ so and enna as tag questions, hairs instead of hair, and some word- order patterns which appear to derive from an immi­grant language substrate. At the lexical level, there is substantial preservation of immigrant vocabulary, not only for food items such as tripp (a sausage) and booyah (a chicken stew), but also in other areas of discourse, such as kermiss (a harvest festival) and schafskopf or sheep head (a card game). This paper will examine some of these features in terms of their origins and their alternation with standard English features in the region.

Sound Change and Social Structure on a Mid­western College Campus: The Functions of [aw] and [sew]. Thomas E. M urray, Kansas State Univ.— The use of [sew] and [aw] at Kansas State University is governed by speakers’ membership in and percep­tions of fraternities and sororities. That accounts for these observations: Though many of the informants use [sew], none use it to the exclusion of [aw]. Women use [sew] more than most men. Among women who use [sew] infrequently, that usage is more a function of who they are addressing than of any purely linguistic phenomenon. Among those who use [sew] fairly fre­quently, the older students—especially the women— use [sew] more than the younger students. Many of

those who claim to use [aw] exclusively dislike the [sew] variantandassociate its use with being “uppity,” whereas students who claim to use [aew] exclusively, though professing no disdain for [aw], view its users as “somewhat backwards” and “probably raised on farms.”

An Approach to Sociolinguistic Fieldwork. Guy B ailey, Oklahoma State Univ., and P atricia C ukor- Avila, Univ. of Michigan.—This paper describes an approach designed specifically to confront the “observer’s paradox.” The approach is the site study, a strategy which allows fieldworkers to record in an ethical manner the linguistic interactions of informants with other participants of the speech community rather than with fieldworkers. It involves recording the ev­eryday linguistic activity that develops around a site rather than interviews with individuals. The studies provide us with a wide range of speech events and speech acts. They also provide data from adult speech on some structures that were previously thought to exist only in the speech of children, such as the use of the past perfect for the simple past (as in “When I was working at Billups, me and the manager had become good friends and so she called me sister”).

Linguistic Divergence and Prison Vernacular. Allan W. F utrell, Univ. of Louisville.—In prison,

South Central Meeting (Cont.): Gastarbeiter, Blalahs, New Yorkersegregation wanes; blacks and whites must interact in close proximity. Prison vernacular is a complex lin­guistic system consisting of heavy doses of, but not pure, Black English vernacular. The focus here will be on syntactic variables, especially -s and invariant be. The empirical claims for this paper are drawn from over 350 hours of ethnographic interviews by the author and a colleague in nine prisons. Because of time constraints, only prisons in South Carolina and Min­nesota will be analyzed.

M arkers of Ethnic Identity in Imm igrant W orker German. B a rb a ra F e n n e ll, North Carolina State Univ.—Immigrant W orker German, or Gastarbeiterdeutsch, is a nonstandard variety open to considerable variation from speaker to speaker and from ethnic group to ethnic group. In prose and poetry using Immigrant Worker German, ethnic difference frequently is codified andmaintainedby using linguistic tokens with inherent ethnic value. This analysis will lead to a discussion of the crucial role of language in the maintenance of ethnic difference and identity.

Titas, Blalahs, and Haoles: The Role of Hawaiian Creole EnglishinMaintainingln-group/Out-group Boundaries through Ethnic Humor. Bryan Bott andRoBiNL. B ott, North CarolinaStateUniv.—With reference to Bickerton’s (1977) study of Hawaiian Creole English, particular attention will be paid to ethnic labels, general vocabulary choice, phonologi­cal characteristics, and aspectual markers to examine the ways that humor both unifies and separates the ethnic groups in Hawaii. Data are taken from audio and video recordings of comedy routines of profes­sional Hawaiian comedians.

Jargon, Vogue Words, and Cliches: Satire in VcH'yorkerCartoons.RicHARDK.REDFERN.Bradenton, Florida; Clarion Univ. of Pennsylvania, emeritus.—In the past 25 years I have saved more than 200 cartoons satirizing our use of jargon, vogue words, and cliches. A Lee Lorenz drawing shows a young woman greeting her husband as he comes home from work: “Darling, guess what! I’ve just enrolled in a prenatal orientation course.” When fun as an adjective was catching on, Charles Saxon did a cartoon showing a couple driving away from an evening party. The woman says: “I never said the Farwells were fun people. You said they

were fun people, and I only said it might be a fun thing to go to one of their parties.” Twenty years later, in 1982, the magazine ran a cartoon focusing on the phrase fun place.

The New Yorker has published three cartoons that1 know of involving feedback, three using the ex­pression where it’s at, four using parameter, six using level, and eleven using the intrusive like. Vogue words and phrases which have appeared in two cartoons are: clout, entropy, in depth, infrastructure, into (“involved with”), lay it onorlayon, message,programmed, relate, and now (“excitingly new” or “constantly aware of what is new”).

Virginia Glenn McDavid(Named an ADS Distinguished Scholar by the Executive Council in December 1989)Virginia Glenn McDavid completed all of her higher education at the University of Minnesota, where she

received her doctorate in English linguistics under the guidance and sponsorship of Harold B. Allen, himself an ADS Distinguished Scholar, in 1956. She is Professor Emerita of English at Chicago State University.

In addition to work in English composition, her editorship in the years 1967 to 1985 of the Illinois Schools Journal, and her editorship of a festschrift for W. Wilbur Hatfield, one of the founders of the National Council of Teachers of English, Language and Teaching: Essays in Honor ofW. Wilbur Hatfield, she has made nu­merous scholarly contributions in dialectology and lexicography. Currently, she is serving as associate editor of both the Linguistic Atlas o f the Middle and South Atlantic States m d the Linguistic Atlas o f the North Central States. She has served as consultant on usage and dialects to all editions of the Random House Dictionary of the English Language. She was editor of the Publication o f the American Dialect Society, 1971-1975.

Professor McDavid’s career has been distinguished from its inception. She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, received her B. A. summa cum laude, and did honors graduate work. Her contributions to the Linguistic Atlas project began when she did fieldwork while in graduate school and wrote a widely read thesis on Verb Forms in the Upper Midwest. She has served as president of the American Dialect Society and as a member of the ADS Executive Council. She has been elected as a Fellow of the Dictionary Society of North America, has served on its Executive Board, and is currently vice president and president-elect of DSNA.

Her numerous articles, papers, and reviews on topics in dialectology, usage, lexicography, and language teaching have appeared in American Speech, Orbis, Language, Western Humanities Review, Journal of English Linguistics, Elementary English, Modern Philology, and other journals.

The distinguished and highly productive career of Virginia Glenn McDavid renders her more than deserving of being counted among the Distinguished Scholars of the American Dialect Society.— T homas J. C reswell

ADS Session at LSA: Linguistics and Legal IssuesChicago H ilton, Saturday, January 5 ,1 9 9 1

9:00 A.M. TO NOONChair: R onald R . Butters, Duke UniversityConversational Distancing in an Illegal Sub­

stance Case. R oger W. Shuy, Georgetown Univ.When persons are uncomfortable with information being

given them in conversations, they risk a face-threatening act if they respond with accusation, ridicule, disapproval, or reprimand. One way to avoid face threatening was revealed in a tape recording used as evidence in a criminal law case. The person being given the uncomfortable information chose to distance himself from the topic rather than horn his conversational partner. He did this by participating minimally (15 percent of the topics and 15 percent of the total words used by both), by using short utterances (2.56 words per utterance), by uttering feedback markers the majority of the time (57 percent of his turns of talk), by not even referring to the salient aspects of his conversational partner’s topics, and by making hollow rather than felicitous offers to help.

Heard on the Street: Constructions of Law in the Investment World. W illiam M. O ’Barr, Duke Univ., and John M. C onley, Univ. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Over the past 18 months, the authors have conducted an ethnographic study of Wall Street. Descriptions of their own behavior and that of others by brokers, investment company executives, and financial analysts constitute the primary data. These data are analyzed for models of organizations and management styles as well as the factors that influence and constrain them. Of particul ar interes t are the conceptions of law held within the investment world. Although most individuals maintain that the law is an inflexible constraint that governs their behavior strictly, comparison across in­dividuals and organizations shows that the interrelation of applicable laws varies widely.

Linguistic Issues in the Fifth Amendment. L awrence M. Solan, Orans, Elsen & Lupert, New York City.

The Fifth Amendment reads in part, “Nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.” My paper talks about an issue that has not arisen in Fifth Amendment adjudication: the relationship between himself and any per­son. Linguistic principles of binding and control indicate that himself cm only refer to any person; this illustrates that legal debate about meanings occurs only with respect to interpretative issues left open after application of the prin­ciples of generative grammar. I relate this to current ques­tions in legal philosophy about the extent to which law as written can be determinative of the outcome of disputes. I

then discuss what courts have said is the meaning of “be compelled to be a witness against himself,” discussing this in terms of the theory of speech acts, which makes it possible to focus cases on the issues that are really at stake.

Linguists as Expert Witnesses in an Adversarial System. E dward F inegan, Univ. of Southern Cali­fornia.

With an increase in the number of criminal and civil actions that have linguists serving as expert witnesses, attorneys are becoming more familiar with a range of lin­guistic expertise. Oqe important byproductof this familiarity appears to be an increasing use of linguists on opposing sides of an action. This paper sketches the roles played by nine linguists serving as expert witnesses or consultants in three civil actions. It describes the role of an expert in civil litigation, focusing on professional and ethical questions connected with expert witnessing in an adversarial setting. It warns against dangers that can arise when experts permit themselves to assess the overall justice of the litigant’s position in which their testimony plays only a part, and it urges focus on the soundness and complexity of the expertise foT which they have been retained.

Conspiracy and Solicitation: Linguistic and Legal Issues. Bethany K. D umas, U. of Tennessee.

Speech acts such as conspiracy and solicitation present difficulties in criminal cases in that they are likely both to be indirect and also to be characterized by vague or ambiguous reference. They are also diffuse in that evidence of their performance tends to emanate from cumulative conversa­tional interchange rather than to inhere in any single utter­ance or exchange. How is the trier of fact to know whether a defendant has solicited or conspired with another person to commit a crime in the absence of such language as I hereby solicit you to murder my husband? This question will be addressed in the context of a criminal investigation in Knoxville, Tennessee, in which an indictee was charged with conspiracy and solicitation to commit murder on the basis of several hours of tape-recorded conversation when the putative co-conspirators wore concealed microphones during conversations in which the killing of the indictee’s husband was repeatedly discussed.
