    Calgary Working Papers in Linguistics, Volume 6, Spring 1980
    (University of Calgary, 1980-05) Doran, Christopher J.; Gibbons, Diana E.; Jehn, Richard Douglas
    This issue is the sixth in the series of working papers published by LOGOS, the Student Linguistics Society at The University of Calgary. The series provides a vehicle for faculty members and students to publish current research. These papers represent research in progress and are not to be considered final statements by the authors. The appearance of these articles in the current issue does not preclude their publication in altered form elsewhere.

    Questions in natural speech: problems of recognition, usage and analysis*
    (University of Calgary, 1980-05) Doran, Christopher J
    This paper concerns itself with certain problems in naturally occurring speech, with our intuitive knowledge of what questions are. The problems that I want to discuss are not exclusively limited to 'questions' and could be applied to other types of utterance. However in this paper 'questions' will serve as a focus for the discussion, although I may draw on other types of examples to illustrate more general points.

    Word shortening in Snowdrift Chipewyan
    (University of Calgary, 1980-05) Henry, Dave
    In my fieldwork on Chipewyan in Snowdrift, N.W.T. in 1979 it became immediately apparent that variations between speakers were often extensive and that, in particular, younger speakers (roughly, under 30 years old) consistently differed from older speakers and that the variation was greatest between the youngest and the oldest speakers.
