September 1991Page 2 NADS 23.3“Sorry, Chum, Vm with the American Dialect Society . . .

Deluxe at the Ritz!”Yes, that’s what you’ll say with a smile when

your pals ask you where you plan to stay during the American Dialect Society’s Annual Meeting this De­cember 27-30.

They’ll have plain fare, while you’ll save enough to pay your plane fare—and still have Deluxe (or better!) accommodations at the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco.

Deluxe for Less

How about rooms that are not just Minimum, not just Superior, but Deluxe—or better?

For the general public, Minimum rooms at the Ritz-Carlton are $185. Superior are $235. Deluxe are $285.

How about Deluxe Ritz-Carlton rooms for just $75 a night? Single or double! Your choice of smok­ing or non-smoking, too. (If you have special needs, even a suite might be available. Consult the Execu­tive Secretary.)

P utting on the R itz

Picture this. After a long day of travel, you arrive in the heart of San Francisco at a glistening neoclas­sical building, a little reminiscent of the White House, encompassing an entire city block. You enter a lobby floored with marble, furnished with antiques of the 18th and 19th centuries.

You ascend to your Deluxe room and admire more antiques, a marble bathroom with double marble sinks, terrycloth robes, an honor bar—even your own private safe in the closet, to secure those valuable notes and papers.

Walk over to the big double windows and look out. You’ll have a Courtyard, Bay, or City View, and a very good view at that, because Deluxe rooms are literally above the Minimum and Superior ones on the lower floors. What’s more, you can actually open the windows and enjoy the fresh San Francisco air.

Fresh air! Ah, if you happen to have a Courtyard View, you can look down at the hotel’s little park with trees, flowers, and brick walks. Flowers grow even in the fountain, which doesn’t flow because of the water shortage.

On a nice day, you can enjoy your dejeuner sur l’herbe in another comer of the Courtyard, at the only outdoor tables of any San Francisco hotel res­taurant.

And then—fitness time! The Ritz-Carlton’s com­plimentary Fitness Center has sauna, whirlpool, ex­ercise equipment, and an indoor swimming pool. (If you want a massage, an herbal wrap or a mud wrap, you do have to pay extra.)

L ow er P rice , L ow er A spirations We have to admit—if you pay your hundred

bucks and register for MLA, they’ll have rooms at the Ritz-Carlton loo, and for a slightly lower price. But their accommodations are—ahem—Minimum. We thought ADS members deserved something su­perior. No, something superior to Superior—Deluxe.

W h ere I t ’s A t The Ritz-Carlton occupies an entire block be­

tween California and Pine, Grant and Stockton. It’s right on one cable car line, a block from the other. Next to Chinatown, three blocks from Union Square, three blocks more to the Hilton, where our MLA session meets.

A New O ld Landm ark In 1909, a monumental alabaster building opened

in the heart of San Francisco as the West Coast headquarters of Metropolitan Life, in the days when life insurance wasn’t a risky business. Later transmogrified into a college, the building underwent complete renovation to emerge this April as the City’s newest and finest hotel.

R eserve Now!The number of Deluxe rooms being held for us is

strictly limited. And they’re available first come, first served. So make your reservation now, while space is still available. Telephone the hotel at (415) 296-7465 or call the national Ritz-Carlton toll-free number, (800) 241-3333. Ask for the special Ameri­can Dialect Society group rates.

You may also write Ritz-Carlton Reservations at 600 Stockton St., San Francisco CA 94108-2305. Again, be sure to mention ADS.

ANNUAL MEETING 1991San Francisco • December 27-30

Make plans to attend the Annual

Luncheon. S e e P age 8.

Poised on the Pacific Rim at the start of its 102nd year, the American Dialect Society looks westward to Japan, southward to Brazil, eastward to Russia and many points between; inward to Yankees and Reconstruction, doughnuts and movie sets. Bring your book to the BYOB Exhibit (Page 6) and your word to New Words of 1991 (below); celebrate another DARE (Pages 6,22) and enjoy luncheon (Page 8) and lodging at the city’s finest hotel (Page 2).

Neologists Seek Nominations For Mother of All New Words

What new word best expresses the linguistic spirit of 1991, the year of Desert Storm and the Russian re­revolution? What words are most original, most amazing, most useful, most outrageous, most unnec­essary, and most likely to succeed?

With your help, ADS’ new-word spin doctors will attempt to answer those questions in the second an­nual session on New Word of the Year at the Annual Meeting. John Algeo and David Barnhart welcome nominations in advance.

Send your suggestion with a citation (tearsheet or photocopy for printed sources, note of circumstances for oral ones) to either of the neologists:

• John Algeo, English Department, Univ. of Georgia, Athens GA 30602.

• David Barnhart, PO Box 247, Cold Spring NY 10516.

John Algeo and Adele Algeo conduct “Among the New Words” in American Speech (See Page 23). Contributors to that collection become members of the ADS New Words Committee and get the Algeos’ occasional newsletter. David Barnhart edits The Barnhart Dictionary Companion, a new-word quar­terly.

The new-words session is scheduled for 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 29. After discussion, those present will vole on the overall new word of 1991.

Presiding: ADS President Michael D. Linn, Univ. of Minnesota, Duluth.

• The English Language in Japan: The 19th Century. Richard W. Bailey, Univ. of Michigan.—A little-noticed episode in the spread of world English began with the proposal by Mori Arinori, the legate from the Emperor to Washington, to abolish the Japanese language and replace it with English. Mori (1847-1889) spent only two years in the United States, but he was persuaded that American culture could offer Japan a means for modernizing. His pro­posal met with considerable popular approval in America, and what dissent there was arose from his assertion that English spelling would first have to be reformed.

• Early American Literary Sociolinguistics.Marianne Cooley, Univ. of Houston.—Literary dia­lect may serve as evidence for the social and inter­personal function of language in historical periods, thereby constituting an historical literary

Page 4_________________________NADS 23.3__________________ September 1991sociolinguistics and complementing other sources of historical evidence such as variant textual spellings, rhymes, grammars and dictionaries, journalistic comments, and trial transcripts. It provides a contex­tual social dimension and corroborating support for explanations established on other grounds, and it may also suggest hypotheses to investigate further.

Study of literary dialect use and language com­mentary in approximately 50 American literary texts before 1800 shows 11 dialects appearing regularly; within the next decade or so, another two appear and continue through the first half of the 19th century.

• Wordplay and Humor in Gay and Lesbian Slang. Leonard R.N. Ashley, Brooklyn Coll., City Univ. of New York.—Slang always has been used to distinguish those who are with it (a carnival term) from civilians. With homosexuals before coming out was as (partly) safe as it is today, slang also had codeword use and wit was admired in ingroup dish­ing and camp language. Homosexual stereotypes may have changed, and gays and lesbians may now have less of a private language (or a less private language) than before because of political and media realities, but mindset, inventiveness, and some of the basic methods of new-word creation, especially for humorous and sarcastic purposes, are well illustrated in gayspeak, used by many of the ten percent of Americans who are homosexual and increasingly by straight America, sometimes without even realizing it.| ------------------------------------------------------------- 1

English and Other Languages1:00-3:30 p.m.

• New England French in New York State: The French of Cohoes, N.Y. Cynthia A. Fox, State Univ. of New York, Albany.—It is estimated that there are900,000 people of French ancestry in New York State, a large proportion of them descended from the nearly one million French Canadians who left Que­bec between 1840 and 1940 seeking better economic conditions. This paper reports preliminary findings of field work conducted in Cohoes, N.Y. during the summer of 1991. It is hypothesized that relegation of the New York Francos to the periphery of the Franco-American geographical space has contrib­uted to accelerated language loss and placed its membership at the lower end of a Quebec-New En­gland-New York continuum of French language maintenance in North America.

• American English Influence on the Vocabu­lary of Fast Food in Brazil. Brian Head, State Univ. of New York, Albany.—The influence includes some unusual reinterpretations and expansions that do not follow common patterns (neither of borrow­ing, nor of the two languages in question, in one or two cases).

• Recent Borrowings from Spanish into En­glish. Garland Cannon, Texas A&M Univ.—This paper derives from current new-words collections: Third Barnhart, 12,000 Words, and the three Longman British collections. The many dozens of Spanish borrowings will be treated according to la­bels, semantic fields, variant forms, phonological or graphemic problems, grammatical information in­cluding word formation (e.g., is the item borrowed

dually phonetically and in loan translation, is it bor­rowed dually in the original and in anglicized form as in Castroismo and Castroism), and possible place in general international English as partly reflected by any appearance in the eight current desk dictionaries of English. The dictionaries will also be checked for any use of already-naturalized Spanish forms, where the derivation or compound cannot be considered a borrowing and yet still has a connection to its ulti­mate Spanish etymon.

• Linguistic Changes in an Apparent-Time Study: Pennsylvania German in Ohio. Silke Van Ness, State Univ. of New York, Albany.—Pennsyl­vania Goman of secular speakers is facing extinc­tion after an almost 300-year life span. Besides a variety of social and political factors, linguistic pru­dence has been cited as a contributing factor to the linguistic death of this group. In contrast, the lan­guage of conservative religious communities demon­strates its vitality through profound changes and in­novations at all linguistic levels. In another generation’s time, a new norm wQl have emerged requiring a new description of Pennsylvania Ger­man.

• Russian and Soviet Dialectology: Historical, G eographical and Social Aspects. Maria Polyakova, Petrozavodsk State Univ.

Dialectology3:30-5:00 p.m.

• Dialect Shifting in the Teaching of Standard English. Vivian R. Brown, Laredo Junior Coll.— Dialect shifting techniques employed by Professor Ron Chandonia at Atlanta Metropolitan College to help Black students improve their command of Stan­dard Written English proved remarkably effective when used with Hispanic students at Laredo Junior College, most of whom had learned English as a second language. With these techniques, students in two sections of developmental English showed an average improvement of 12 percent in the quality of their writing during the spring semester 1991, while students in a control section taught by the same in­structor, but without transcription techniques, im­proved an average of only 1 percent.

Page 6_________________________ NADS 23.3__________________ September 1991Sunday Evening, December 29: ADS at the Ritz-Carlton

3:30-5:00 p.m. (Continued from Page 5)• Semantic Variation and Core Semantics. Kim

Sydow Campbell, Auburn Univ.—Some semantic variation and change can be described with the same theoretical apparatus as syntactic variation and change, namely misassignment of constituent struc­ture. MCS explains the development of perfective have in English: In Ic hcefde hit gebunden (“I had it bound”), for example, hcefde could be assigned the constituent structure of either V or AUX, although only the variant with AUX survives in current usage.

Applied to semantics, the theory proposes that semantic (highly abstract) meaning elements consti­tute the core, while pragmatic (experiential) meaning elements constitute the periphery of words. The word mother, for example, for one speaker might have a core meaning of ‘female progenitor’ or ‘nurturer’ and a periphery of ‘married to father’; for another speaker the core is ‘female progenitor’ and the periphery ‘nurturer’. This interpretation accounts for two previously unreconcilable observations: First, speakers disagree about the exact meaning of words—the same meaning element (e.g. ‘nurturer’ above) may be assigned the role of constituent in two different categories, and at least some meaning ele­ments (e.g. ‘married to father’) appear to be optional. Second, speakers are able to communicate with many words that they disagree about—they may share only some of the same meaning elements for a word (e.g. ‘female progenitor’ and ‘nurturer’ above).

• Folk Dialectology. Dennis Preston, Eastern Michigan Univ.—Students of language attitude and perception are aware that their quantitative tech­niques may be subject to unexplained “protocols” lurking behind responses to surveys, checklists, and the like. Ethnomethodological approaches tease out such protocols. Recordings of informal conversa­tions wiLh nonlinguists on linguistic topics reveal a rich inventory of folk belief about language variety. Additionally, such discussions reveal the sorts of reasoning the respondents bring to bear on the solu­tion of linguistic problems about which they do not have ready-made folk beliefs. This presentation ana­lyzes folk belief about language variety among re­spondents from southeastern Michigan.

Bring-Your-Own-Book Exhibit^I 5:00-6:00 p.m.

Never before has ADS had its own book ex- ■ I hibit, and never before (well, to the best of our ! J knowledge) has there been a book exhibit quite ! J like this one.

It’s an extension of the feature “New Books • I by ADS Members” in the Newsletter (on Pages I I 18 and 23 in this issue). If you’ve recently pub- I | lished a book, bring it along—and any ancillary | | materials like posters and flyers. If your book is | | being displayed at the MLA meeting, see if you |■ can borrow it from their exhibit. Your i■ publisher’s representative is welcome too.

Among other delectables, you’ll be able to ■ J look over DARE Volume II.

To make sure we have space for your book, J • please notify ADS Executive Secretary Allan • I Metcalf in advance about what you plan to ex- I I hibit.| This will be an opportunity to stretch our legs || as well as our minds between ADS sessions. | | Not to forget our stomachs, we’ll have refresh- |■ ments on hand too.

Like our other sessions at the Ritz-Carlton, ■ ^ i t ’s open to all. Bring your friends.

But what the D-H will we do? Well, at press time that wasn’t decided. You can inquire of the Execu­tive Secretary in early December, or ask someone at DARE, or just show up and be surprised___

Independent Session9:00-12:00

• Modal Verbs and the Dialectologist. John M. Kirk, Queen’s Univ. of Belfast (Visiting Professor, Univ. of Michigan).—Central modal verbs found in corpuses from Scotland and Northern Ireland will be described morphologically and syntactically; they will be compared as synonyms within pardcular se­mantic sets; and they will be interpreted pragmati­cally. Two questions will be posed: what kind of question does the study of modal verbs raise, lexical, morphological, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, or what? And why have dialectologists ignored or been very shy to tackle modal verbs? Variation is there, both qualitative and quantitative. So what is it, after all, that dialectologists are supposed to be studying? Are there new ways forward?

■ The (W)hole Story of the Doughnut. Anne Lambert, Univ. of Florida.—Doughnut was first used in American literature in 1805, but it existed in America earlier. The Pilgrims learned to make doughnuts, originally a German and Dutch item, dur­ing their exile in Holland. A historical survey traces the term and its relatives (cruller, fried cake, etc.) to the present. The origin of the doughnut hole is also considered.

It seems that the fortunes of fried cake have de­clined; cruller is still strong, and olher terms such as

Bismarck also exist; new ones seem to rise as the old ones die out.

• Movie Set Jargon: The Sequel. Allyn Partin, North Hollywood, Calif.

• J. R. Lowell’s Literary Yankee Dialect: The Courtin’ (1484-1873). Herbert Penzl, Univ. of Cali­fornia, Berkeley.—This unique poem of a dozen four-line stanzas, superficially linked to both series of J.R. Lowell’s Biglow Papers, will be analyzed as to its literary New England dialect. Words in it repre­sent historical old dialect (cheer ‘chair’, ef ‘i f ,fust ‘first’, litered ‘loitered’, hern ‘hers’), new (Ameri­can?) folk dialect (ez ‘as’), colloquialisms (tomorrer, feelin's ‘feelings’) and eye-dialect (kisst, sez ‘says’). The mixed dialect provides genuine local rural color. The use of only colloquial standard in the dialogue and the use of the urban Mister as the keyword in the entire poem suggest the social impact of Standard English.

• W ritten Evidence of Black English in the Mid-Nineteenth Century. Celia Millward, Boston Univ.—Six letters written by a young black man, Benewell Kemler, in 1851 and 1852 provide evi­dence for r-lessness; simplification of consonant clusters; realization of /0/ and /Q/ as [s] and [d] re­spectively; neutralization of the /q/ ~ /n/ distinction in final position; and a lack of distinction between /hw/ and /w/. More surprising is the extensive evi­dence for neutralization of the voiced-voiceless dis­tinction in stops in all positions. The inclusion in the letters of carefully copied material that does not show any of these characteristics supports the hy­pothesis that Kemler’s writing is an unselfconscious representation of his own dialect.

• Reconstruction and the American Language: The End of Dialect? Randy Roberts, Univ. of Mis­souri, Columbia.—Significant events of the mid- 19lh century suggested to some writers and educa­tors of the Reconstruction period that American En­glish was rapidly losing its regional distinctiveness. The California Gold Rush and the Civil War, they noted, were two events which had brought together in unprecedented numbers speakers from all regions.

The reunification of the nation following the Civil War signaled, for most, the sure end of sectionalism.

Monday Midday, December(C ontinued from Page 7)

This would include the end of dialectal differences. From the ashes of the War emerged an army of patriotic teachers sent south by the Frcedmcn’s Bu­reau to combat illiteracy and, by association, the perceived linguistic provincialism of Southerners. “As public schools are fast dotting the hills and val­leys of the South,” one observer noted, “the thick- lipped speech of that section will quickly hide itself before the pruning-knife of the educator.”

• Fugitive Sources in a Dictionary of English of Western North America. Thomas L. Clark and Michael Wise, Univ. of Nevada, Las Vegas.—The notion of fugitive sources has two parts. One refers to the format, creation and distribution of sporadic publications, the other to difficulties in locating cita­tions for earliest meanings (as per Barnhart, Bailey, Schaeffer and others). This paper explores problems in locating citations for a dictionary constrained by domain and region.

• Language Attitudes Towards Phonetic Vari­ants of I I and / /. Marianna Di Paolo.—Seventh- three native speakers of American English living in the Salt Lake City area were asked to respond to 11 “speakers” in a matched guise experiment. Each speaker read two texts, one which gave the listeners a cue about whether the speaker had an / /-/ / contrast and one without a cue. Listeners generally rated the Utah English speakers lower on traits related to per­sonality, success and speech. Listeners’ ratings were also found to interact with the presence or absence of an / /-/ / contrast cue.

• An Update on the Variable (aw) in the Urban Dialects of the Salt Lake Valley. Neil H. Olsen, Univ. of Utah.—Cook (1969) postulated that a fronted form of /aw/ was a potential marker of an emerging urban dialect among Salt Lake City speak­ers. Based on recent field observations, Olsen (1989) challenged Cook’s hypothesis. Social and acoustic analysis of (aw) tokens sampled from the Intermountain Language Survey show that this vari­able patterns differently than previously thought.

Janis Sawyer, Henderson State Univ.—This paper addresses the similarities and differences between Black English and Standard English as well as linguistic-cultural issues and their implications for teaching. A knowl­edge of the rules of Black English would be useful to teachers of Standard English.

• A Survey of Oklahoma Dialects. Guy Bailey, Tom Wilke and Lori Sand, Oklahoma State Univ.— SOD includes a random-sample telephone survey and a field investigation. For the telephone survey, a proportional sample determined the number of infor­mants to interview in each county. Within each county, we did a random sample of telephone ex­changes to determine which household to survey. We then did 20-minute telephone interviews with the person over 18 in each randomly selected household who had the most recent birthday. For the field in­vestigation, the state was divided into 33 grids based on the township/range division used to allot the land for initial settlement. Within each grid four infor­mants, each representing a different generation, were interviewed with an expanded version of the protocol for the telephone survey. The two surveys give a representative sample of the state that is useful for studying spatial distribution and diffusion as well as social constraints on language variation.

• Pragmatics and the Law of Evidence: Adop­tive Admission and Legislation. Jeffrey P. Kaplan, San Diego State Univ.—Judicial interpretation of “adoptive admissions” follows Gricean principles but judicial interpretation of legislation may not. Evidence law prohibits “hearsay” but makes an ex­ception for “adoptive admissions” by suspects on the basis of silence in the face of an incriminating asser­tion by another. Suppose Friend said that p, which incriminates Defendant (D), in presence of D and potential Witness (W). Because p incriminates D, D has incentive to get W to disbelieve p. But the Qual­ity maxim encourages W to believe p, and D knows this. If D believed p false, D must, by Quantity, deny p. But if D believes p true. Quality may supervene to block D from denying p. Thus we may reasonably infer that D “adopted” Friend’s statement as D’s “admission.” And so the courts hold.

With the interpretation of legislation the courts are not always so rational. A Federal Rule of Evi­dence, an excepdon to the hearsay rule, allows into evidence written reports of “matters observed pursu­ant to duty.” But this exception has an exception: (A) “excluding, however, in criminal cases matters ob­served by police officers.” Later, the same Rule al­lows as evidence reports which set forth (B) “factual

September 1991

South Atlantic Meeting (Cont.)findings resulting from an investigation . . . against the Government in criminal cases.” The courts im­plicitly use the Quantity maxim to interpret B as disallowing use by the government in criminal cases of such factual findings. But A does not get that analysis, which would interpret A as prohibiting use by either side, in criminal cases, of reports of “mat­ters observed by police officers.” Rather, according to the Supreme Court, A is to be read “in harmony with [B] to [allow Defendant’s use of police re­ports].”

Why the difference between judicial interpreta­tions of adoptive admissions and legislation? Per­haps legislation is illocutionary, shaping the future (and unknowable) world, so the question about its interpretation has to do not with truth value, but rather with how to apply legislation to an unforeseen situation (often a public policy question), while the only question about a possible adoptive admission is whether the silent “speaker” intended to admit the proposition in question, which is just a factual issue.

• W itnesses, D efendants, A ttorneys and Judges: Legal Satire in New Yorker Cartoons. Ri­chard K. Redfern, Bradenton, Fla.—New Yorker car­toons make fun of almost everyone and everything in the American legal system. Verbal humor is prob­ably the most common source of amusement. It often combines with incongruity. For example, a woman who is leaving her husband says to him, “The Consti­tution is quite clear on this point, Geoffrey. Congress shall make no law abridging my freedom to split.” A judge speaking to a man awaiting sentencing begins impressively (“The Court takes cognizance of your plea”) but ends slangily (“requires me to slap you in the jug”). A jury foreman addresses the judge thus: “Your Honor, the jury finds the defendant guilty of insensitivity to the appearance of impropriety in the murder of the deceased.” Only one or two cartoons touch on the technical language of the law, as in Handelsman’s drawing of a judge speaking on the telephone: “Miss Anlonacci, please have a regular coffee and a cheese Danish remanded to my cham­bers.”

• The Syntax of Cognitive N egation in Banyan's Life and Death of Mr. Badman. Mary

Page 21Jane Curry, Auburn Univ.—Reacting against the secular appeal of late 17th-century popular ro­mances, rogue biographies, and perhaps even his own well-received Pilgrim’s Progress, Bunyan in The Life and Death o f Mr. Badman creates a text that negates the techniques of secular literature while it communicates Biblical truths. His primary methods are semantic and syntactic negation and interruption of the main narrative with digressions which provide negative examples of conduct. Bunyan keeps a dual focus on the explicitly Christian allegory and on the significance of the Word by developing an implied analogy: just as the person laboring toward repen­tance must negate sinful secular actions, first by con­fronting, then avoiding them, so also the writer la­boring to create a text that communicates scriptural truth must negate the techniques of secular literature. The result is an anti-progressive, hence anti-modem, narrative on an anti-pilgrim, Badman, whose life concludes in a void. Writers of the next century, developing the techniques he opposes, created the novel as a genre grounded in subjectivity, narrative progress, and the self-sufficiency of literal plot.

• Changes in Continuity in Military Experi­ence Narratives. Carl J. Arseneault, Univ. of Ten­nessee.—As context and audience change, the de­tails—information units designed to orient the reader or listener—that veterans include in their narratives vary with each telling while the general structure of temporal events remains unchanged. This is demon­strated by comparing a MEN written in 1989 with a retelling recorded in March 1991.

With editing for Volume III well under way, we still have queries about some puzzling I, J, and K words. Any help you can provide will be appreci­ated. Please include in your responses all that you know about the time and place of usage, the back­ground of the speaker(s), currency of use, etc. Send your comments to Prof. F. G. Cassidy, Dictionary of American Regional English, 6125 Helen White Hall, 600 North Park St., Madison, WI 53706. Thanks to all contributors!inkling—The sense “slight or vague notion” is stan­

dard, but we have one quotation in which inkling means “desire or inclination (to do something).” Does anyone else know it in this sense?

jagasee (also abbreviated jag)—This is a Cape Cod dish made of lima beans, salt pork, rice, and veg­etables. It is said to be from Portuguese, but we’ve found no likely source. Any ideas? Is the term still current?

Japanese checkers—A Hawaiian informant, in re­sponse to the question about games played on paper by two people, responded: “Japanese checkers— try to get five in a row.” Does anyone else know the game? Can you give more detail?

jap-stick—For the question “A game in which a short stick lying on the ground is flipped into the air and then hit with a longer stick,” we have 7 infor­mants (scattered) who said jap-stick. We have no written sources, so our earliest date is 1965-70. Can you help us antedate this? Why this name? (It is also called cat, chiefly in the Northeast.)

Jefferson pine—Two California informants, from Redlands and Lone Pine, offered Jefferson pine in answer to a question about local pine trees. Is this for Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi), or do they mean a different tree?

jigger—A small fishing vessel once common in coastal New England. Our last quote is from 1880. Can anyone attest to more recent use of the term?

joe buckety guys—A children’s game, reported only once, from Pennsylvania. Other evidence? How is it played? Could it be related to buckety buck (a variant of buck buck)?

johnny hum pback—This seems to be a night crawler. One instance, from a novel set in Ken-

Can You Be Judy Friendly?tucky, written by an Alabama author. Does anyone else know the term?

Judy—In response to the question “Expressions to say that people are very friendly toward each other,” one informant from Saugerties, N.Y., said “They’re judy friendly”; another from Queens, New York City, said “They’re very judy.” How current is this? Any ideas as to etymology?

June flower—An 1892 quote from Maine says it’s a Canadian wood violet. A 1968 DARE informant says it’s a large rose-colored flower. Any other evidence?

Kansas scale—This is another in the series of de­rogatory state appellations, this one meaning a makeshift balance for weighing things, such as a plank or pole laid across a fence. We have a single quote, from Wisconsin in 1991. Has anyone heard this used?

Kitchens—Knotty hair at the nape of a Black woman’s neck. Our informant, from southeast Georgia, says that men don’t have kitchens; she adds that Black women in Wisconsin don’t seem to know the term. Do you?

We DARE You: Special Offer!By special arrangement with Harvard University

Press, the American Dialect Society is able to offer its members the absolute rock-bottom price on the newly published Vol. II of the Dictionary of Ameri­can Regional English, as well as the lowest available price on Vol. I for those who don’t have it yet.

These special prices are in effect till December 31, 1991. They won’t be seen again, so stock up now—for yourself, for posterity, and also as the per­fect gift for your scholarly friends and lexicophiliacs.

And the price? For the new Volume II: not the $70 list, not the $59.95 introductory discount, but a mere $48 (plus $3.50 for shipping the 7-lb. tome). Net total a mere $51.50 for 1192 pages, containing11,000 D through H’s and 606 maps.

If you don’t have the A-C Volume I yet, with the indispensable front matter, it too is available at a 20 percent discount from the $70 list: just $56 plus $3.50 shipping, or $59.50 net per volume.

Page 23Our New Words: Half a Century At Nearly Half Price

What John Algeo has wrought! And I. Willis Russell! And Dwight Bolinger! And half a century of observant ADS members on the New Words Com­mittee!

If these exclamations are actually questions in anyone’s mind, let the reader turn to the Spring 1991 issue of American Speech, where John and Adele Algeo (aided by Bolinger, James B. McMillan, and Anne Boyd Russell) tell the talc of the column “Among the New Words,” now nearly half as vener­able as the Society itself.

Thus whetted, the appetite for neologisms may now be satisfied with the real thing:

Fifty Years Among the New Words: A Dictionary of Neologisms, 1941 -1991, just about to be published by Cambridge University Press. Its 272 pages in 8 V2 by 11 size incorporate John Algeo’s substantial es­say on new-word formation, the complete text (slightly reduced) of all the ATNW columns for those 50 years, and an index to all the words, com­piled by Adele Algeo. Of course it is certified as an ADS Centennial Publication.

Panel I: A Quarter-Century Retrospective in Honor of William Labov’s Social Stratification of English in New York City.

The papers consider different dimensions of sociolinguistics and dialectology that have been in­fluenced by methodological advances that can be traced to Labov’s classical research. Schiffrin exam­ines the role of narrative studies in sociolinguistics, drawing upon conversadonal data in support of her observations. Baugh reaffirms the educational rel­evance of sociolinguistics and dialectology, particu­larly with respect to educational parity for America’s students of color. Bailey considers the relationship between social studies of linguistic variation and “spacial” studies of variability. Each paper addresses empirical questions that are relevant to contempo­rary research questions in linguistics, dialectology, and applied linguistics.

Chair: Anthony Kroch, Univ. of Pennsylvania. Panelists: Deborah Schiffrin, Georgetown Univ.

“Narrative Analyses and Research Advances in Sociolinguistic Inquiry.”

John Baugh, Stanford Univ. “Sociolinguistics, Dialectology, and the Quest for Educational Excel­lence Among Culturally Diverse Students.”

Guy Bailey, Oklahoma State Univ. “Spacial Di­mensions of Language Change.”

Panel H: The Significance of Slang.In the inaugural issue of Language in Society in

1972, William Labov characterized articles on slang as belonging to “an outer, extralinguistic darkness,” as indeed slang at that time did not ordinarily consti­tute the subject matter or data of professional schol­arship. Twenty years later, slang is coming in from the outer darkness to be recognized and studied. College campuses in particular have offered the op­portunity for glimpsing this lexical phenomenon in everyday use. The panelists have all contributed to the developing identification and analysis of slang through studies of student vocabulary.
