For a variety of reacons to be given in this report, the number of COUAttleA particle pelting in this project has been tentatively expended to nearly double the ori&t,1 number; to herKile this increase will require a relatively_areall increase in budget for the second anal third yarn of the project, approximately $7,500 per year for expaeriion (see budget section beles). Progress to date may be sumreerized as follear se (1) Using groups of sub- jects bilin-gual in English and one of six other lehetteeet being studied in our pro- ject, en original list of 200 "cultures-common� _ substantives has been paired to a -- 100 terms which Meet the criteria of ease and uniqueness of tresislation feet all 'e lenguages. (2) Elicitation of qualifiers of these-substantives, as stimuli in 6 modified word-association Prooeclure, from 100 junior high school level males has been aceoreplashed in the field for seven countries. (3) _Computer analysis of the - frequency/diversity characteristics -(the -It measure) of -the sample of qualifiers has been finlehed for five of these countries, and the NM:hex ordering of qualifiers in terms of 11. and i (index of qualifier similarity) has been concluded for four countries. (4) Elicitation of 'common opposites for these ordered qualifiers, to a total of 50 usable scales, has boin accomplished in the field for four of these countries.- - - (5) Collection of data from 200 slaillzu: k.lbjects, with each scale related directly to every other scale, and factor analysis of these data or has been completed for two countries(_and the U.S. control).

These stnges are describact and Tr.ble 2 provides a graphic summery of progress to date in each country (areas where arrangements 114.11/0 not been c-c4npleted are omitted from this table). Each of theoe stages will be deacTibod in terms of field method entlfor computational procedures and in the order of their completion. It will to noted that PilAGQ I Involves several exchanges of infonsation betiimen the field workers and the cots.- putational crew Eelection of asic_Iist. of Substentives Following roconmendations made at search was made for sources of culturally-neutral (i.e., the so-called fair" or "cultural universal") stimuli. This resulted in a list of 200 selected stantives as stimulus itams to be used in the elicitation of racbdifier associations. Grove.actical analyses of the relevant languages were performed to provide a ' uniform description, to identify the forms which the modifier7substaritive relation- ship vould take, to idonttfy the rogularizahle morphological variations, and to establish compatibility with the American data (the so-called noun-adjective relationship). It was token as a.xioraatic that all field procedures would be re- plicated exclusively in the indigenous language, without reference te translation. The 200-item list was then field-tested (in the United States and with native sPeakers of each language, both to acquire assured and uncontested trzinsIMon-equivalents, and to immediately eliminate any terms which were diffuse, ati:Ibtguous; vague or otheraise culture-bound. Similar tests e made with s � a lishA bilinguals in this country (both �Any su atantL et the translation criteria for any nguago was eliminated fro h all groups. 5 The resultant list was then further pruned on the basis of variability, productive- ness and further intra-cultural checks of uniformity. A terminal list of 100 items was thus derived. These items were of an order to yield a high diversity of modifier- types in testing. A parallel study of American college subjects was-completed at this time, which indicated that the form of the stimulus items did not appear to be a crucial determinant of the quantity and character of the associations elicited. This study _ employed four distinct stimulus-types: nouns, pictures of simple objects, geo- metrical forms, and zero-types (i.e., no stimulus at all was offered). Only in the, Instance of the geometrical forms was there any pronounced tendency for the associa- tions to differ in quantity or character from those otherwise obtained. With this con- firmation of the adequacy of the proposed procedures, instructions and forms were prepared for distribution to the field-workers. (A similar study, independently done was later called to our attention, further confirming this finding cross- culturally). In the field, spot checks of translation reliability relative to social dialects, idiom and precision were performedn-A sketch of the linguistic factors of the 'entire project was distributed to field-workers. Stage 2: Collection of gualifiers As each group offers a unique morphology, and as there is a degree o non-uniqueness in morphological analysis, the method of eliciting modifier- associations decided upon was to employ appropriate-syntactical frames in each language for the insertion of modifiers relative to the substantives -- rather than to simply request the correct grammatical type. Illustrative frames in each language are worked into the instructions for each group. The resultant criterion of accept- ability of any qualifiers is therefore relative to the language in question, not to any arbitrary grammatical scheme. Field workers are Instructed to use this criterion in collating their qualifier data; similarly, the field workers are instructed to regular- ize the possible grammatical variants where such features were irrelevant to the semantic nexus of the response. - - A group of loo young males (roughly 12-16, equivalent of junior high sc,-..hool) is given the instructions and the list of .100 substantives in their own language; to these items they write down the first qualifier (according to the illuatrative frames given in the instructions) that occurs to them tor each stimulus. The field worker collates these data, listing all the responses to each substantive (in the orthography of the subjects, in some cases in a standardized form of trans- cription -- e.g., for Chinese -- and with an English translation) and their frequen- cies on a single data sheet. The English translations are for information of the computational staff, but are not used in subsequent analyses. These data are then mailed4.011443 -.5- The mcoived ckfT.-4a are then carefully rosecreened to chock ths identity c.,f grammatically variable but semantically identical items. Iron-clear modifiers and clear non-medifierS are discarded. The remainder comprises the population of qualifier typse and frequencies from which selection will be made for eventual ctonstruction of bi-polas scalos. Riau goorputatiofs_Qf isismsTpoyassisottylp-tyst Two basic summery measures are calculaWd for each of the discovered rivNier-typ,2et n indsos of the total frequency of ouctorenos for each modifier aCretz3 the 100 stirsulne items and ell index of the total diversity of stimulus items eliciting the given rsodifier. It is felt that these WO irkelazures are most useful in indicating the relative 'linguistic utility" of earsh qualifier-type, as they take into sccount both a qualifier's emission frequency and ita breadth .of usage. In order to standardize and summarize the total effect of these two indices, the entropy measure, J-1, is calculated for each qualifier-type. The qualifiers having the highest Il thus display the greatest overall frequency and generality of U�1, and qcolifiers ;thus ranked (and translated into English) can be compared across all groups. Data already collected and analysed in this manner indicate that the H-ranked qualifiers Fire well correlated in translation. (Translation compar- ability does not require 1:1 correspondence -- which is practically impossible � but rather the repreaentatiOn of extremely chow-ascribed "semantic areas which permits a comparison and con elation procedure such as that employed, and supports its validity). The Fess-son-product moment correlati ranked modifiers of the American an coefficient for the first 200 moles was computed to be .81 and indicatas that the md ondentiy-deivod modifierstypes have extraordinarily high translation comparability for the two groups. Although the comparable correla- tions for the remaining groups are still in progress, a rudimentary inspection of the ruf data in hand indicates that the same order of comparability will undoubtedly obtain. This result Is of considerable importance; it both validates the procedures against certain cxitig7,1sms and, more importantly, substsntiates the hypothesized generality of meaning systems even at the level of selective qualifier usage. mq. 4: .9election of aRpprescntjive Lassele of Qualifiers This stage involves the procedures used to select the basic qualifier lists for ech group from the population of qualifiers obtained. It is, in many respects, the most crscial part of the Phase I onalysis. The selection criteria must have, as thsix *rid result, the selection of modifiers which fully sample the range of 'sernssaSio' dimensions ersployed.by the subjects, and therefore, by implication, osycholinguistically comprehensive for the language itself. -6- Furthermore, it is of paramount importance that all procedures be analytic, re- producible ubiquitously, and independent of cultural determinants. Informant- translations, dictionary-translations and glosses do not answer these requirements.. After a number of trials, the correlation measure phi was finally adopted. Ibis measure utilizes the character of the distribution of the modifier responses to the substantive stimuli, and indaxes the similarity of that distribution between all modifier pairs. This procedure is in many respects similar to the operational definition employed by some schools of linguistics, in attempting to derive an analytic criterion for moaning. The meaning of any given form, in this view, becomes the pattern of distribution of the possible environments in which the form appears within the entire corpus. In the present study, the 100 item stimulus list becomes the corpus (i.e., the potential environment sow-ce). Face validation of this procedure was sought by examining the content of the qualifiers found to correlate highly in distribution. In the main, items with high distributional similarity were those with high judged 'semantic' simi- larity. Although lexical identity cannot be perfectly achieved, this procedure fulfils the aforementioned requirements closely and was, therefore, adopted. Additional evidence for the validity of the procedure was obtained in the subse- quent factoring of the paired adjective similarity measures discussed below. The procedure as finally adopted correlates the distributional overlap of each of the modifiers with its next higher H-ranking qualifier in order. Lower ranking qualifiers with plaj coefficient positive correlations with preceding higher yanking qualifiers beyond the .005 significance level are discarded. This process Is continued until 60-70 modifiers are selected or the population is exhausted, each selected modifier being compared with all previously retained modifiers. The selected modifiers constitute the sample of potential terms to be used in the construction of bi-polar scales. �tage .,51 Elicitation of Opposites The aforementioned list of 60-70 selected qualifiers is now submitted to the field worker for the elicitation of opposites. The lists are submitted by the field workers to approximately 10 independent informants who are judged linguisti- cally sophisticated in the Mother Tongue. Opposites are selected on the basis of unanimity of judgments. Where identical majority antonyms do not occur, items are re-submitted to informants on a forced choice basis. Fifty modifiers and their opposites are scught on this besis. Those in excess of SD are discarded on criteria of linguistic similarity, ambiguity or inappropriateness, where otherwise unanimity has been achieved, but these discards are of items in the lower 11-ranking. ata-i= VS:7-tc-Tar.ISzlig f/A0ti To esaess the fectods1 stmcturos of the hi-polar scales thus obtained, second sample of subjects is umxi in a paired-sample task, (scale-against- scale analysis).

X.cych judgment reflocnd th* degree of raez'olingful relationAhip felt to obtain by the subject betworm every scale and every other scale in the total 50 scales. Analysis of the data indicated that the rrelations between the normal and reversed ordering wore high. Reliability checks for the American data showed that the reliabilities for all variations in ordering of the constituent pair items were uniform and high. These reliabilities ranged between r- 13 .73 tor .80. Although the cooralations between conditions in these data were high, it was felt that one of the conditions -- that involving a reversal of the direction of the scale-opposite-terms -- was sufficiently low (correlations between judgments obtained for the hi-polar scale in order A-D with those for ordEr II-A being between .84 and .89 after correction for attenuation) to warrant experimental control. Con- trolling.for this one verieblo and discarding control of the second resulted in the decision to reduce the total judgment task to 2500 items. This new task has been submitted to disownd in t*ing-completed there and in the USA. The re- presentation of this scgment was con3idered deshabld in view of the changed format of the Judgment forms' and as an occasion for a second cross-validation of the Ehortan;t1 procedure. The shortened procedure is also mOre desirable for field techniques. .0,1230_7: ggixebtional and1 'c I ysj12L?hasaIData The Procedures within this segment are entirely uniform and do not depend upon cultural end/or morphological variability.

The Witham criterion for orthogonal rotation of factors is being tentatively employed in this terminal segment of Phase I. Min rotation scheme was chosen because of its empirically-verificd approximation to "simple structure criteria.
