Sommario/riassunto

The CD publication features 30 sound recordings, chiefly recitations of classical Tamil poetry, made by Hilko Wiardo Schomerus in Madras (Chennai) in 1929. What is new and special about this release is the publication of the sources, of which hitherto no (or only little) notice has been taken.

Sommario/riassunto

Apart from the coverage given to it in the grammars, number in English nouns has received relatively little attention, especially in the area of theoretical considerations. Guided by the principles of psychomechanics, Hirtle (1982a) put forth a fairly elaborate theory of number in English nouns. The aim of this work is to provide evidence to validate parts of Hirtle's theory, to verify some of his analyses, and to investigate several problems, some of which are mentioned in his work as subjects for further research. Specific areas treated are ailment nouns, liquid names, ending in -ings
