Comparative constructions of similarity in Northern Samoyedic languages

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the suffixes which are used in Northern Samoyedic languages to build comparative constructions of equality. Depending on the language, the suffixes may perform three functions: word-building, form-building, and inflectional. When they mark the noun, they serve as simulative suffixes and are employed to build object comparison. In the inflectional function, these suffixes mark the verb and are a means of constructing situational comparison. In this case, they signal the formation of a special mood termed the Approximative. This paper provides a detailed description of the Approximative from paradigmatic and syntagmatic perspectives

Gisborne's journal of an electric telegraph survey in Newfoundland 1851

This is the second journal volume kept by Gisborne while completing the St. John's-Cape Ray telegraph route survey of September-December 1851. It was a very difficult journey, his entries recording the many hardships he and his men faced, as well as providing details about the whites and Aboriginals they met alone the way. -- Includes a biographical article with portrait, appended at the end: L.E. Jones, "Delineations of destiny: 9. Frederic Newton Gisborne (1824-1892)," Engineering Digest, December 1967, 37-38.Photocopy of typescript

The relation between hypotactic integration and complementation in Cognitive Grammar

Objects of perception with the visual perception verb watch can not only be expressed by means of a non-finite complement (Harry watched Sally fetch the vase) but also by means of an as-clause, either in conjunction with a nominal direct object (Harry watched Sally as she fetched the vase) or without (Harry watched as she fetched the vase). The latter two options are traditionally regarded as instances of hypotactic integration but, given the functional similarity with the non-finite pattern, this paper explores, within the Cognitive Grammar framework, to what extent as-clauses may also be described as complements. It is argued that, within the Cognitive Grammar approach, a string such as Sally as she fetched the vase is analyzable as a complement headed by the nominal (Sally) with the as-clause functioning as a modifier and that, in the objectless variant, as she fetched the vase is a complement
