* the shortening of all long vowels ( compare example above ) vowels in the modern language are due to Loanword | borrowings ( e. g. vibāgaya " exam " < Sanskrit vibhāga ) and sandhi phenomena either after elision of: wiktionary: intervocalic | intervocalic consonants ( e. g. dānavā " to put " < damanavā ) or in originally Compound ( linguistics ) | compound words.

This library had an extensive collection of materials about Native American linguistics and folklore, originally collected by James Hammond Trumbull.

Whorf argued that paying attention to how other physical phenomena are described in the study of linguistics could make valuable contributions to science by pointing out the ways in which certain assumptions about reality are implicit in the structure of language itself, and how language guides the attention of speakers towards certain phenomena in the world which risk becoming overemphasized while leaving other phenomena at risk of being overlooked.

Traditionally, computational linguistics was usually performed by computer scientists who had specialized in the application of computers to the processing of a natural language.
