No full textPortrait of Nathan in a blue suit with a bow tie, leaning forward with his hands on a desk, glasses in hand.Digital imageFritz Nathan was born in Bingen [am Rhein], in the Rhineland, in 1891. He was a graduate of the Institute of Technology of Munich and Darmstadt, and became one of the leading Jewish architects in Germany before the Nazis came to power. Among his earlier achievements in Germany were the monument in honor of Jewish soldiers at the Weissensee cemetery, the new Jewish cemetery in Frankfurt, the first skyscraper in Mannheim, and a department store in Frankfurt.

Nathan White Bemis Interview, November 16, 2019
Get PDFNathan Bemis describes his time serving in the U.S. Navy from 1960 to 1964, narrowly missing deployment to Vietnam. Bemis discusses how he came to be a gunner’s mate after originally joining the Navy in order to become a Seabee. He talks about what life was like aboard a naval vessel on the West Coast of the United States and sailing around Cape Horn on the USS Lexington en route to Pensacola, Florida. Bemis details his daily duties including mopping the deck of the ship each morning for three years, polishing all of the brass on the ship’s four five-inch guns, and serving as the gunner’s mate each time one of the guns was fired for training operations. He describes the ship’s role in Florida training pilots to land on a carrier. He also notes how much he enjoyed photography and took the opportunity to photograph the places and scenes each time the carrier docked. Bemis describes getting out of the Navy two weeks before the Lexington headed for Vietnam. He states that he enjoyed his military service but decided to leave because he wanted to go to Bible school. He concludes by reminiscing about the friends he made and how they encouraged him to stay out of trouble.https://scholarworks.umt.edu/veteransexperience_oralhistory/1001/thumbnail.jp

Word in Hmong
No full text[Extract:] Hmong is a Hmong-Mien (Miao-Yao) language, of the Far Western Hmongic branch. It has several million speakers in China, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, and Myanmar (Jarkey 2015: 11) as well as several hundred thousand speakers in diaspora communities in the United States, Canada, France, Argentina, and Australia (Yang 2014: 32). A number of varieties of Hmong can be recognized, with one Laotian variety, White Hmong (Hmoob Dawb)1, as spoken in Queensland, Australia, as the focus of the current work.
Typologically, Hmong is generally an analytic language, with most grammatical functions indicated with independent words. In many cases, however, words that serve as grammatical modifiers of nouns and verbs are semi-independent, that is, they generally have a strict ordering relative to their nominal or verbal head, yet they may allow other words to intervene. Open class items are generally free to appear in multiple positions in the clause, thus forming an important distinction between lexicon and grammar in Hmong. Given the discussion below, Hmong contains two primary forms of morphology: affixes, that is, bound morphemes with a grammatical function, and reduplication, which operates on verbs and quantifiers. The constituent order system is fairly strict, where the typical order is subject-intransitive verb or subjecttransitive verb-object, though discourse organization and topicalization can affect this.
Given its analytic nature, Hmong is of interest to the greater discussion on wordhood due to the fact that the literature on the language routinely treats it as isolating. At the same time, a comprehensive analysis of wordhood in Hmong is missing from the literature, even if there is limited discussion regarding relevant criteria to serve as a basis, most notably in works such as Mortensen (2003) and Vitrano-Wilson (2015). The current chapter seeks to address this gap by providing an analysis of wordhood in Hmong, leading to a recognition of the categories of phonological and grammatical word, as well as considering in depth the nature of a phonological word in Hmong when it is comprised of more than one syllable.
Some background information on Hmong is necessary as a context for the discussion on wordhood: §1.2 provides an overview of the phonological system of Hmong, including certain features that are critical to the analysis of wordhood, while §1.3 briefly discusses some relevant grammatical points, including the structure of the noun phrase and verbal morphology. §1.4 delineates the organization of the remainder of the chapter
