Some Evidence in the Case of "Is Because"

Abstract

Le Maitre Phonetique. Perhaps they will do so more readily for a journal published in America. We have a real opportunity to aid the study of American speech. It is particularly desirable to publish transcriptions of the phonograph records that can be easily obtained. For example, there are the records of the Victor American Speech Series (address Educational Department, RCA Victor); the American Speech records of the Columbia Phonograph Company (address Personal Record Department, 55 Fifth Avenue, New York); the Victor records of Calvin Coolidge, Lindbergh, Roosevelt; the records of famous scientists distributed by Science Service, Washington, D. C.; the Columbia University records of Vachel Lindsay; etc. Mrs. Zimmerman requests that other transcriptions be accompanied, when possible, by records on aluminum or shellac. Phoneticians, teachers, and collectors of folklore should avail themselves of the modern facilities for making very good records at little cost. Our studies will profit from a better control of the evidence.
