Bislami

Is this a real form? I see only "Bislama" being used except for a couple of Wikipedia pages. --JWB 21:08, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Potential redirects

Regarding Lexeme-based morphology and Word-based morphology, the page Morpheme-based morphology was recently merged with Morphology (linguistics) and is now a redirect. The former two topics, which are currently treated at Morphology (linguistics)#Models could also be created as redirects.

Regarding Pejorative change, there is a current page titled Pejoration, which is a redirect to Semantic change. The current treatments of pejoration and amelioration on the latter page seem inadequate, by the way.

~~Progressive assimilation and Regressive assimilation are each mentioned at Assimilation (linguistics)~~

~~Phatic communion might be created as a redirect to Phatic, which is currently a stub.~~

~~Adjacency pair should be created as a redirect to Adjacency pairs.~~

~~Context of utterance might be created as a redirect to Context (language use).~~

~~There is currently a page called Cooperative principle (no hyphen).~~

By Discourse-organizing words do you have in mind Discourse marker?

~~Felicity condition should redirect to Felicity conditions.~~

~~Formality level might redirect to Register (sociolinguistics).~~

I also note that there is currently a page called Foreigner talk theory which is a redirect to Creole language. I suspect that this is not what you have in mind with Foreigner talk.

No, and I am not sure whether this related to communication theory, linguistics or psychology. There are studies of who people behave when they talk to foreigners (often like the foreigners were children) but I am not sure what would be the "official" term - Skysmith (talk) 11:43, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Might Code selection be treated at Information theory? You're probably thinking of the post-Jakobson, post-Fano work in Communication, Applied Linguistics, etc. Still, there is some overlap, at least historically. Maybe Code mixing and/or Code-switching?

Actually, I have to recheck that - Skysmith (talk) 11:43, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have a very large list of these topics - and a large number of lists - and claim no specific expertise in relation to the topics. I misunderstood the intent of the list. I'll go ahead and make the less controversial of my suggestions above. Cnilep (talk) 16:59, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirects created, as indicated by strike-through. Cnilep (talk) 17:28, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, my knowledge about most of these topics is superficial at best, otherwise I would try to write articles about them. Thank you - Skysmith (talk) 11:43, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Arakan Burmese

When we have an article about this, it will probably be called Rakhine language, so Arakan Burmese will be a redirect there. +An gr 13:23, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notes

affricade — appears to be a typo for affricate
positions of articulation and related terms such as palatal position — redirected to place of articulation etc., though some may have future use in describing the related features of vowel articulation as well. I have left in inverted position, which could have uses other than as a synonym for the retroflex POA.
stress timing and syllable timing — redirected to the corresponding sections on isochrony, potentially future articles
tonic syllable — redirected to Stress (linguistics), added the term to the article

I strongly suggest removing it. Where'd this one come from, anyway?
