The Stress Pattern of Sindhi & English
Phonetic Correlates of Lexical Stress in Sindhi & English
 
Abdul Malik Abbasi
Sindh Madressatul Islam University 
 
This book aims to explore the syllable structure and stress patterns in Sindhi and English words through the analysis of behavioral data from speech judgment experiments, and of acoustic data from speech production experiments, conducted with native speakers of Sindhi and American native speakers. The evidence presented argues for analyzing Sindhi as a language in which intonation contours appear to be independent of stress that is completely orthogonal to F0 contours unlike in most stress languages in which pitch accents dock on stressed syllables. Sindhi pitch accent rises from the first syllable in disyllable words, irrespective of syllable weight, and the rise is followed by a fall at end of the word. The duration and stop closure of stressed vowels were greater than the unstressed, while F1-F2 and F0 values were higher in stressed and lower in unstressed vowels which is a quite evident that phonetic correlates of lexical stress in Sindhi. Thus, the phonetic analysis of lexical stress discovered strong evidence of modification of all phonetic exponents of stress which seems to demonstrate that Sindhi is a stress accent language. In addition, the study investigates learner’s stress patterns by measuring their reports of word stress location in their Sindhi and in their L2 English. Results of the experiments show that Sindhi speakers have less awareness of stress location in their native language than native English controls, and this effect carries into their L2 English. Teachers of Sindhi-speaking students should be prepared to provide explicit training on word stress.

Linguistic Ecology: Bihar
 
Shailendra Kumar Singh & Sweta Sinha
North Eastern Hill University, Shillong, Meghalaya; Indian Institute of Technology Patna,
Bihar
 
The proposed volume presents an overview of the ethno-linguistic aspects of major languages spoken in the Indian state of Bihar. With a population size close to 100 million, the state has rich linguistic diversity. The book initiates special discussion on linguistic habitat of one of the profoundest multilingual states of India in synchronic and diachronic contexts. This volume is not a textbook in a strict sense, but has been designed to serve as main source of reading for linguists looking forward towards a comprehensive material on linguistic ecosphere of Bihar.
 
Languages like Maithili, Magahi, Bhojpuri, Bajjika, Kurmali and Eastern Hindi  varieties have been discussed in details in different chapters. Some of the chapters provide an excellent read on folklore, traditional ecological knowledge and linguistic landscape of the region including the languages spoken by migrant communities. The volume would immensely benefit students and researchers studying languages including lesser known languages and language varieties spoken in Bihar and adjoining areas. This book would also be resourceful to linguists working in the areas of language contact, sociolinguistics, language documentation, language typology, language planning and policy making. In addition to linguists, political scientists and anthropologists, this volume will also prove to be useful for ecological studies, regional studies and gender studies. Some chapters will also be useful to non-specialists including educators, politicians, social activists and government officials concerned with linguistic habitat.

Dictionnaire étymologique des noms propres des Baluba du Kasaayi
 
Kadima Batumona Mbatwamba
 
Depuis les temps les plus reculés, les êtres humains portent des noms qu'ils se sont donnés. Ces noms étant des signes linguistiques destinés à identifier ceux qui les portent et véhiculant des messages particuliers (car dotés de sens) au sein d’une même communauté, tous les peuples de la terre ont, à cet effet, forgé des noms à partir des matériels linguistiques disponibles dans leurs idiomes respectifs.
 
Ce dictionnaire étymologique inventorie, rassemble et met à la disposition de tous ceux qui s’intéressent au Buluba (culture luba) des anthroponymes ou mieux des noms propres courant chez les Baluba du Kasaayi.
 
La lecture de cet ouvrage dévoile les différents messages véhiculés par ces signes linguistiques et permet de comprendre que ces noms luba-kasaayi, à leur origine, n’ont pas été des fruits du hasard! Étant donné que tout phénomène de la nature a toujours une cause en amont de son existence, on se rendra à l’évidence que le nom propre en Buluba est la résultante d'un acte motivé qui trouve sa justification dans la conception du nom lui-même qui, chez les Baluba du Kasaayi, est une marque ou signe particulier d'identité, linguistiquement doté d’un sens caché, qui est issu de la motivation socio-sémantique cachée, qui est elle-même reprise dans la synthèse que constitue le nom apparent.
