    Calgary Working Papers in Linguistics, Volume 2, Spring 1976
    (University of Calgary, 1976-05) de Waard, Al; Latimer, Richard; Maciborka, Melanie; Roberts, Jessica
    LOGOS, the student linguistics club at the University of Calgary is continuing their series of working papers. The contributions to this issue are from the undergraduates and graduates in The Department of Linguistics at The University of Calgary. In general, the papers were used as partial fulfillment for course work, with the topics arising from class discussions. The general areas dealt with are phonology, syntax, and sociolinguistics.

    On Vegliote vowels
    (University of Calgary, 1976-05) Latimer, Richard
    Vegliote is, perhaps, the least known of the Romance languages. This language maintains its anonymity through the simple means of being extinct. However, Roger L. Hadlich, in his doctoral dissertation, posited a Serbo-Croatian influence upon the development of Vegliote, based on studies of the work of Matteo Bartoli. Through his studies, Hadlich attempted to explain many of the unanswered questions concerning the vowel and consonant development of Vegliote. In his dissertation, The Phonological History of Vegliote, Hadlich makes no reference to the types of words the phonemes were used in, nor does her state whether they were used by bilingual or monolingual speakers. Using modern structural techniques to trace the development of the language, Hadlich posits this Serbo-Croatian influence which I will trace point by point.

    Relational grammar applied to Dutch
    (University of Calgary, 1976-05) Beattle, Janet
    One of the main contentions of Relational Grammar is that there are universal rules which underlie all of the languages of the world. It further states that each language chooses rules from the supply of available substantive universal rules, and applies them according to certain formal universal rules. In this paper I will show how both types of rules apply in Dutch.

    Developing a theory to account for symbolism in code switching
    (University of Calgary, 1976-05) Fry, Ian W
    The purpose of this paper is to examine the importance of symbolism in one face of language: code switching. While some attention will be given to bi-registral and bi-dialectal code switching, the chief focus will be bilingual code switching. This does not imply that the former are any less important: switching among bi- and multilinguals is simply the most easily recognized since it represents the most extreme and clear-cut form of language switching. The findings concerning bilinguals would apply to all areas of switching.
