AbstractThis is a study of rhyme and alliteration in French and English. We review their possible historical origins in Latin, and consider the mnemonic resources contained in rhymed forms of proverbs, other sayings and alliterations. We then analyze a few meteorological sayings in both languages, idioms with rhymed and alliterative forms, and finally exclamations, apostrophes, and swearwords.
Keywords: rime, proverbes, dictons, assonance, allitération

Despite his lukewarm reaction to Léon Lemonnier's movement, André Baillon was — and still is — frequently branded as a populist, especially after his death. One may be surprised to observe how those same traits that prompt some critics to brand Baillon a populist compel others to label him a regionalist or a proponent of the proletarian literature. While such conflicting descriptions undoubtedly shed little light on Baillon, they speak volumes on the ambiguous nature of these literary movements. Furthermore, such conflicting labels are also to blame for the post-Second World War sinking of the Belgian novelist's works into oblivion.

Abstract« Oh ! There You Are ! »Sex and the Heterosexual AnthropologistI have conducted fieldwork in Nigeria on seven separate occasions, in Kenya once, in England on five separate occasions, in the United States for many years with jazz musicians, resettled Ugandan Asians, and Italian-Americans, and in Canada on resettled Ugandan Asians. For each of these trips, I have been at a différent stage of professional and life-span development In addition, each trip has been différent in ils « sexual meaning ». For example, on one trip I sought out prostitutes, on another I had an adult student with me, my bride of a few weeks on yet another, and my wife and children on my last trip to Nigeria. I am using my expéeiences to discuss a number of variables that affect heterosexual practices in the field and influence the fieldwork that is conducted; specifically, age, professional status, place of fieldwork, persons accompanying the field worker, and so on. At this stage of our knowledge of fieldwork and sexuality, good description is essential to good analysis.
