| Abstract | [Introduction]
In early 1985, I had the good fortune to be a visitor at the Linguistics Department of Osmania University, where it was both pleasant and instructive of me to meet and work with the group of researchers and students then in residence there. I feel it to be particularly appropriate to present, as my small contribution to the present volume honoring Professor Bh. Krishnamurti on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday, a report based in some measure on data that I was enabled to collect because it was by his kind invitation that I was in Hyderabad. To him and to other members of the linguistics faculty, in particular Dr. K.Nagamma Reddy, and to the postgraduate students in linguistics who underwent with patience and good humor the rather tedious perception testing to which they were subjected. I want to express my deep appreciation. |
