“…Scripture (88) says that this method registers the amount of breath issuing from the mouth, but, that it tells nothing of how the changes were produced by the speech organs. More recent investigations with apparatus of this sort have been carried on by D. Jones (74), who presents simultaneous curves for the mouth, nose, and larynx.…”

The incomprehensible vocalizing and babbling of infants and the final emergence of true language from this prolonged period of practice have attracted the attention of writers in many fields, and particularly those in the field of child study. The bulk of the literature on this topic consists of a large group of semi-scientific observational studies of a biographical nature, which appeared during the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first part of the present century. Many of these records are concerned, not only with language development but also with motor, social, and emotional development. Other studies, however, are much more defined in purpose, and are somewhat narrower in scope, being confined to the study of the child's acquisition of language. The studies which give adequate reports of the very early stages, however, are much less numerous than those which are concerned chiefly with the period immediately following the appearance of the first word. Unfortunately, the studies which involve the observation of many children under controlled conditions are very few in number and much needs to be done along this line.Previous Reviews: The literature on this topic has been brought together from time to time by various writers. Most of the available reviews, however, are concerned chiefly with the vocabulary studies 625 626 DOROTHEA McCARTHY on older children, and little or no space is devoted to the earliest stages of linguistic babbling. They consist chiefly of tabulations of all reports on the appearance of the first word, or of tabular comparisons of different vocabulary counts. In 1833 Feldman (15) gave such a review based on the records of 33 children. The mode of this group for the appearance of the first word was at sixteen months. In 1883 a very brief review of foreign studies was given by Sikorski (55). Preyer (48) in reporting his son's progress in language compares it with the earlier reports in the literature, particularly those of Stumpf (62), Lindner (32 and 33), Sigismund (54), and others. In 1891 Sanford (50) gave a very brief and incomplete summary of what had been done in the field up to that time. Tracy (67) in 1893 gave a vei-y clear and complete summary' of the studies of children's language up to two years of age. He calls it " an outline history of the speech-progress of the average child during the first two years, generalizing from a large number of observations made by different persons on different children." While it is difficult to combine the records from these biographical studies because of the different methods of observation, Tracy (67) has made the most satisfactory summary of the literature on these early stages. Neumann (39) gives an excellent discussion of the early anecdotal accounts in the foreign literature, particularly those of Ament (2), Lindner (32 and 33), Gheorgor (20), and others. In 1907 Clara and William Stern in their book called Children's Speech (58), gave an excellent account of all the observations on German children as well as on children of ...

“…But if someone who misinterprets sexual cues is best described as believing a myth rather than making a mistake then he holds a myth that relates primarily to sex, not rape. 152 This point is illustrated by the Rape Crisis Scotland Campaign, which featured a series of pictures of women variously scantily clad, on their wedding day or locked in a passionate embrace, accompanied by the slogan 'This is not an invitation to rape me'. This slogan is, presumably deliberately, oxymoronic --as has often been pointed out, there can be no such thing as an invitation to rape.…”

Rape Myths: Is Elite Opinion Right and Popular Opinion Wrong?

England and Wales have recently experienced wide-ranging rape law reform and a galloping rape reporting rate but no comparable increase in rape convictions, leading many erstwhile law reformers to turn attention to attitudes. In essence, their argument is that reform has proved relatively ineffective because a range of agents hold 'rape myths'. Despite the broad consensus that this approach has attracted, I argue that the regressiveness of current public attitudes towards rape has been overstated. The claim that rape myths are widespread may be challenged on three grounds: first, some of the attitudes are not myths; secondly, not all the myths are about rape; thirdly, there is little evidence that the rape myths are widespread. To a troubling extent, we are in the process of creating myths about myths. This process functions to close down, not open up, the possibilities of a productive public conversation about important and at times vexed questions.
