Text extracted from opening pages of book: HANDBOOK ofthe MALAY LANGUAGE CONTAINING Phrases * Grammar and Dictionary WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO Military and Vocational Requirements EDUARD F. WINCKEL Lecturer, at the University of Southern California Distributed By DAVID McKAT COMPANY WASHINGTON SQUARE, PHILADELPHIA 1944 P. D. AND IONE PERKINS SOUTH PASADENA, CALIFORNIA DEDICATED TO Indonesia, my native land. May this book help in the early liberation from the usurpers. Salam dan Bahagia! EDUARD F. WINCKEL. FOREWORD The purpose of this handbook is to supply a guide for the acquisi tion of a practical knowledge of Malay. The Malay language, as spoken in every-day life by some eighty million people in the Netherlands East Indies, the Malayan Peninsula, and adjacent territories, is essentially simple. It is possible, therefore, to acquire in a few weeks a basic working knowledge of this language which will enable those who intend to go there to get along very adequately, not only with the Indonesians, but with most of the other settled inhabitants of the extensive areas in the Far East. The more advanced student will soon perceive that there exist minor differences in the vernaculars of the various sections of Malay sia, and he will adapt himself easily to the special words, expressions, and slight variations of pronunciation in the localities which he may visit. Malaysia is a term used to designate the Malay Peninsula and all the islands of the Indian Ocean, including Indonesia. These variations are due to the fact that the indigenous population consists of many diversified tribes, each preserving its own dialect for home use but also interjecting a few words of its private lingo into theMalay, which is the lingua franca that serves them all in common. Thus, in a few cases, different words are found in various localities to express the same idea. An intelligent Indonesian, however, will never fail to understand a word from some other region, even though he would not ever use that word himself or the pronunciation might vary from his own. In order to save the newcomer any perplexity on this point, such special words have been indicated in the DICTIONARY of this book by noting in parentheses the locality where the words are likely to be heard. Abbreviations used for this and other purposes have been listed on page 185. It should be understood, of course, that this handbook deals pri marily with the conversational language which is in common use throughout the thousands of islands of the Netherlands East Indies, the Malayan Peninsula, parts of Siam, Burma, Indo-China, and the Philippine Islands. Without a knowledge of this language, it is prac tically impossible to conduct any kind of business or vocation in Indonesia. The influence of foreign traders and successive invaders has strongly colored this Bngtta franca. Words and phrases of Sanscrit, Arabic, Persian, Chinese and later of Portuguese, English, and Dutch origin have, through the ages, been introduced. These terms* altered vii by the natives to suit the peculiar twist of the Malay tongue, have become an intrinsic part of the colloquial Malay which is taught in this book. High Malay, the purer but far more difficult language of literature, is a mixture of the original Malay of Sumatra, Sanscrit and Arabic, and has been kept fairly free from further foreign infiltrations. That rich and flowery language, however, isused only in highly cultured forms of expression which fall outside the scope of the practical work here presented. Attention must be called to a peculiarity of Malay speech. Certain words are used by the natives only when addressing their superiors, such as their chiefs, or white people never vice versa. In this hand book, these words which will be heard, but seldom used by the Westerner are designated polite. There are also some words which the natives use only when speak ing to a subordinate or close relative. The Occidental might use them occasionally to a cooli
A. Magnetische Grundbegriffe Martin Kersten 1. Vorbemerkung Die Entwicklungsmoglichkeiten und die Grenzen der verschiedenen Ver- fahren und Anwendungen der Magnetspeichertechnik fur Da, tenverarbei- tung, Ton-und Bildaufzeichnung werden maBgebend bestimmt von den magnetischen Eigenschaften der verfUgbaren Werkstoffe des Daten- tragers und der magnetischen Zubehorteile fur Eingabe, Ausgabe und Loschung. Den nachfolgenden Abhandlungen uber einzelne Teilgebiete der Magnetspeichertechnik wird diese einH'thrende Dbersicht als Schlussel zum Verstandnis der wichtigsten magnetischen Grundbegriffe voran- gestellt. Deren Bedeutung fUr einzelne Probleme und Techniken der Magnetspeicher wird nur kurz angedeutet, da die ubrigen Abschnitte des Buches daruber ausfUhrlich berichten. In der deutschen und auslandischen Fachliteratur finden sich bereits viele Originalmitteilungen und Bucher, in den en die magnetisch-physika- lische Seite dieser Speichertechnik mehr oder weniger grundlich dar- gestellt ist [u.a. 1, 2, 3, 4]. Die folgende Dbersicht kann das Studium derartiger Schriften nicht entbehrlich machen. Sie solI aber eine mog- lichst anschauliche Einfuhrung geben, die ein vertieftes Studium der Fachliteratur erleichtern moge.
VI Dagegen kann in diesem Rahmen auf eine ausfuhrliche Darstellung von Bau und Aussehen des Kehlkopfes, seiner Muskeln, Nerven und Gefasse oder der ubri- gen Sprechorgane verzichtet werden. Es durften durchwegs einige anatomische Vorbemerkungen genugen, um die Verbindung mit den entsprechenden Lehr- buchern der Anatomie oder Laryngologie herzustellen. Um so wichtiger war jedoch die Mitarbeit von Prof. Dr. phi!. FRIEDRICH KAINZ und Dr. phi! EDELTRuD BAAR in den psychologischen Kapiteln. Zahlreiche phoniatrische Arbeiten befassten sich in den letzten Jahren damit, die bislang gewonnenen experimental-phonetischen Erkenntnisse durch roentgeno- logische und klanganalytische Untersuchungen zu uberprufen und zu erganzen. Mit Hilfe der neuen Gerate zur elektrischen Klanganalyse gelingt es denn auch, das Problem der phonischen Leistungen des Kehlkopfes weiter zu klaren. Ebenso verspricht die moderne, durch die Roehrentechnik weitgehend verbesserte Strobo- skopie genauere Einblicke in den schwer enthullbaren Mechanismus des Stimm- organes. Zu diesem grossen Aufgabenkreis ist zuletzt noch die Erbbiologie getreten. Neben bedeutsamen theoretischen Ergebnissen erlaubt sie auch, praktische Schluss- folgerungen zu ziehen. Spielt doch die erbliche Herkunft der Stimme, die Form und Groesse des Kehlkopfes oder die Konstitution der Schleimhaut, z. B. fur den Sanger, eine lebenswichtige Rolle. Zwar sieht es so aus, als ob die sinnvolle Methodik unserer Arbeitsweise weit- gehend spezialisiert sei; sie fuhrt aber immer wieder zur Gesamtmedizin zuruck. Man denke bloss an den untrennbaren Zusammenhang der Atmung mit den Stimmstoerungen, an die pathognomonisch wichtigen oder lebensbedrohenden Kehlkopflahmungen oder an die endokrin bedingten Veranderungen der Stimme.
