Academy of Sciences; William S-Y. Wang, The Ohio State University;

The Collitz Chair was held by Edward Stankiewicz; the Linguistic

Society of America Professor was M. A. K. Halliday.

There were also twelve local faculty members: Foster W. Blaisdell,

Vladimir Honsa, Fred W. Householder, Jr., Andreas Koutsoudas, John R.

Krueger, Felix J. Oinas, Alo Raun, Thomas A. Sebeok, Denis Sinor, Albert

Valdman, Harry V. Velten, and C. F. Voegelin.

Thirteen supporting faculty members associated with several seminars

in the Linguistic Institute were: Robert Browning, Hamilton College;

Miguel Enguidanos, Indiana University; Chester Hunt, Western Michigan

University; Nathan Keyfitz, University of Chicago; Heinz Kloss,

Stanley Lieberson, University of Wisconsin; Archibald T. MacAllister,

Princeton University; Klaus A. Mueller, Associated Colleges of the Middle

West: Guillermo del Olmo, Yale University; Leonard D. Savitz, Temple

University; and Fernand Vial, Fordham University.

The Linguistic Institute Seminar on Sociolinguistics included, in

addition to its full-time participants, four consultants: Susan M.

Ervin, University of California (Berkeley); Joseph 1i. Greenberg, Stanford

University; Vallace E. Lambert, McGill University; and John Useem,

Page 3: 1964 LINGUISTIC INSTITUTE FINAL REPORT

Michigan State University. Also, three predoctoral students attended

the Seminar: Ranier Lang, University of California (Los Angeles);

Leonard Lieberran,, .ichigan State University; and 1William A. Stewart,

Center for Applied Linguistics.

The sixty-five full-time faculty members offered a total of seventy-

five courses. The Institute provided course work in all the traditional

fields of linguistics (such as anthropological, areal, descriptive,

comparative, historical, general and applied; phonology, grammar,

lexicology, dialectology); in the major theoretical approaches to linguistic

analysis (includin& the Prague school, tagmemics, transformational analysis,

"prosodics," and others); and in the chief "hyphenated" fields of linguistics

and related disciplines (e.g., language and culture, language and literature,

language and society, language and biology, language and writing, psychology

of language). At the same time, an exceptionally broad coverage of

languages -and groups of languages was represented, including: African,

Albanian, Altaic, Arabic, Balkan, Burmese, Celtic, Chinese, English,

Estonian, French, German, Gothic, Greek, Haitian Creole, (Literary)

Hebrew, Hindi-Urdu, Hungarian, Indo-European, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean,

1Mayan, Mongolian, (Classical) Nahuatl, Oceanic, Old Church Slavonic, Old

Icelandic, Quechua, Russian, Scandinavian, Semitic, Slavic, Spanish, Tai,

Tamil, Turkish, Uralic, and (Classical) Yucatec.

The Seminar for College Teachers, held under the auspices of the

Indiana Language Program, was attended by 32 postdoctoral Fellows directly

involved in the administration and supervision of instruction in French,

German, or Spanish at the college or university level. The program consisted

Page 4: 1964 LINGUISTIC INSTITUTE FINAL REPORT

of classes and lectures in four major areas: pschology of language

learning; applied linguistics; language methods and materials; and the

teaching of literature. The Seminar represents the first attempt to

acquaint language teachers at the college and university level with new

developments in the field and to give them the opportunity to exchange

ideas and to formulate policies with regard to such matters as desired

terminal objectives, the relationship between service language teaching

and graduate programs, and the relative status and role of language teaching

at the university level.

The Seminar on Sociolinbuistics was sponsored by the Social Science

Research Council. The thirteen full-time faculty level participants in

the Seminar were about evenly divided between linguists and social

scientists, especially sociologists. The discussions in the Seminar were

based chiefly on papers written by the participants but also on pre-

sentations by consultants and Guests. In addition to the regular sessions

of the Seminar three working groups met and prepared papers on social

theory and linguistics, on types of multilingual societies, and on the

process of language standardization.

Five special awards were granted by the Office of Education's

National Defense Education Act Title VI Fellowship Program to the

following postdoctoral participants in an intensive course of Russian

especially designed for linguists: Kenneth L. Hale, University of

Illinois; Herbert J. Landar, Los A.ngeles State College; Paul M. Lloyd,

University of Pennsylvania; Leo Wayne Tosh, University of Texas; and

Juanita V. Williamson, Le Moyne College.

The followin6 were participants in the Linguistic Institute Research

Seminar in Language Data Processing: Ranan B. Banerji, Case Institute

of Technology; William C. Crossbrove, Brown University; S. N. Jacobson,

Radio Corporation of America; Mary Lu Joynes, University of Texas; Dan M.

Matson, University of Wisconsin; Fred C. C. Pen, Columbia University;

Paul 0. Samuelsdorff, Seminar flir Verbl. Sprachwissenschaft; Albert Schuts,

University of Hawaii; Rober W. Skiuy, Wheaton College; Bernard Spolsky,

McGill University; David L. Stampe, University of Chicago; Volney

Stefflre, Yale UniversityJ James W. Stone, Center for Applied Linguistics;

James P. Thorne, University of Edinburgh; Richard L. Venezky, Stanford

University; and Oswald Werner, Northwestern University.

There were also nine Fellows sponsored by the Inter-American

Program in Linguistics and Language Teaching, including two postdoctoral

participants: Christiaan H. Eersel, Linguistics Bureau (Surinam);

and John Joseph Maria Figueroa, University of the West Indies (Jamaica).

The 196h Institute offered a rich program of afternoon and evening

lectures. One special feature of the Institute was the Trends in

Linguistics Lecture Series in which seven visiting linguists spent one

week at the Institute; moet gave four lectures, and all were available for

consultation with students and staff. In addition, the Linguistic

Institute Research Seminar in Language Data Processing sponsored a

series of ten lectures; Albert H. Marckwardt delivered a series of seven

lectures under the over-all title, "Linguistics and the Teaching of

English;" and the Seminar for College Teachers of French, German, and

Spanish (co-directed by Archibald T. IacAllister and Albert Valdman)
