Book 1. (12 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
1	28	I discovered, to my dismay, that being English does not automatically qualify one as an authority on English history.	10
1	17	Being literate and not too dull, and having read enough history to tell the Renaissance from the Industrial Revolution, I applied to several small American colleges for an instructorship in history—English history, of course.	10
1	27	I liked America very much, though I was quite busy the first semester, smashing through numerous texts in an undignified manner, attempting to commit enough English history to memory to keep at least a reign or so ahead of my students.	10
1	56	I read, in a rather archaic English script inscribed on the envelope, two words—my name, Tarl Cabot.	10
1	92	It resembled some now outdated English script, but I knew too little about such things to hazard much of a guess at the date.	10
1	131	The signature at the bottom was not in the old script, but might have been done in modern cursive English.	10
3	36	Torm's English, incidentally, was spoken with a Gorean accent.	10
3	45	My father, to my delight, had taped one of these translation devices with English, and accordingly it was a most useful tool in working out equivalent phrases.	10
3	129	Occasionally, however, an English word in Gorean, like "ax" or "ship," would delight me.	10
3	210	I had begun to think in Gorean as well, and after a time I was conscious of a deliberate mental shift involved in thinking in English.	10
3	211	After a few English sentences or a page or so in one of my father's books, I would be at home again in my native tongue, but the shift was there, and necessary.	10
4	53	I shouted to my tarn, in Gorean and in English.	10

Book 3. (15 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
10	25	Their number is, of course, potentially infinite, as would be the number of possible phonemes in English, but just as we take a subset of sounds to be English sounds and form our utterances from them, so they take a subset of odors as similarly basic to their speech.	10
10	36	The translator tapes, incidentally, are approximately the same size, but this is no help, since the tapes represent pairings of approximate equivalents, and there are several English morphemes not translatable into the language of Priest-Kings, and, as I learned, morphemes in their language for whic...	10
2	5	He could not read the manuscript, as it was written in English, a language as foreign to him as Gorean would be to most of you, but yet he would treasure the manuscript and guard it as though it were a most precious possession, for he was a scribe and it is the way of scribes to love the written wor...	10
3	58	If I had seen this man in my own world, this small, rotund, merry gentleman with his florid coloring and cheerful manner I would have thought him necessarily English, and of a sort one seldom encounters nowadays.	10
7	40	It is, incidentally, a beautiful language; it can be as subtle as Greek; as direct as Latin; as expressive as Russian; as rich as English; as forceful as German.	10
10	26	The number of familiar, common English phonemes, incidentally, is in the neighborhood of fifty.	10
10	27	The morphemes of the language of Priest-Kings, those smallest intelligible information bits, in particular roots and affixes, are, of course, like the morphemes of English, extremely numerous.	10
10	29	For example, in English 'bit' is one morpheme but three phonemes, as will appear clear if given some reflection.	10
10	31	I do not know whether there are more morphemes in the language of the Priest-Kings or in English, but both are apparently rich languages, and, of course, the strict morpheme count is not necessarily a reliable index to the complexity of the lexicon, because of combinations of morphemes to form new w...	10
10	32	German, for example, tends to rely somewhat more on morpheme combination than does English or French.	10
10	33	I was told, incidentally, that the language of the Priest-Kings does possess more morphemes than English but I do not know if the report is truthful or not, for Priest-Kings tend to be somewhat touchy on the matter of any comparisons, particularly those to their disadvantage or putative disadvantage...	10
10	34	On the other hand it may well be the case that, as a matter of fact, the morpheme set of the language of Priest-Kings is indeed larger than that of English.	10
10	37	One English expression for which no natural "word" in their language exists is, oddly enough, "friendship," and certain of its cognates.	10
10	38	There is an expression in their language which translates into English as "Nest Trust," however, and seems to play something of the same role in their thinking.	10
32	254	"You were English," I said.	10

6	48	It was English.	10
6	60	I was thunderstruck that a girl, apparently of Earth, who spoke English, should be brought to the Tuchuks at this time—at the time that I was among them, hoping to discover and return to Priest-Kings what I supposed to be a golden spheroid, the egg, the last hope of their race.	10
7	188	Now I understood, as I had only suspected before, why an English-speaking girl was necessary to bear the collar, that she might be the device whereby I would be singled out from the hundreds and thousands among the wagons, and so be marked for death.	10
8	240	It was an English name, but such are not unknown on Gor, having been passed down, perhaps, for more than a thousand years, the name of an ancestor, perhaps brought to Gor by Priest-Kings in what might have been the early Middle Ages of Earth.	10
12	340	She spoke in English.	10
12	342	Cabot," she said, "would you like to buy me?" "No," I said, in English.	10
12	343	"I didn't think so," she said, again in English, and put her head back on my shoulder.	10
13	206	I had, incidentally, after the first few days, refused to speak English to her, thinking it would be more desirable for her to learn to speak, think and hear in Gorean as rapidly as possible.	10

11	167	"You speak English," said one of them, slowly, staring at him, dumbfounded.	10
11	175	"You are slaves," said Flaminius, again in English.	10
12	133	In English measure the two sides of the track are each about seventeen hundred feet in length, and the measure at the corners would be something under a hundred and fifty feet in width.	10
12	174	At last even Phyllis had asked again and again, irrationally, the guard not even understanding English, if they were truly to be trained.	10
12	223	"Kneel," said Flaminius to them, in English.	10
15	181	Virginia and Phyllis must needs do this in English, Elizabeth in Gorean.	10
15	182	In the third week, the education became somewhat more subtle and Flaminius visited the girls for their training hours, and discussed, with ingenious subtlety, first in English and then in Gorean, certain views of history, of natural right, of orders of human beings and of relations among the sexes.	10
15	222	At these times they would, as well as possible, converse in Gorean; Elizabeth taught them much; she did not permit them to know she spoke English; I would often leave the compartment at these times but sometimes I would remain.	10

3	57	I had no doubt that his native tongue was English.	10

6	195	My captors had conversed, almost entirely, in English.	10
6	196	And I supposed they had been, at least on the whole, native speakers of English.	10
6	198	In English, that accent had marked his speech as foreign.	10
6	269	Surely someone would be found, if not here, in the next city, who spoke English, who could put me in contact with those from whom I might purchase passage in my return to Earth.	10
6	284	None of them seemed to understand English.	10
6	285	One, at least, of the men on the black ship had spoken English.	10
7	260	Neither, of course, knew English.	10
7	347	Accordingly I learned the language directly and immediately, fluidly, not as an architecture of grammatical cases and a series of vocabulary lists, in which foreign terms stood matched with English terms.	10
7	348	Ute and Inge, not knowing English, could not have presented me with an abstract structure of transformations and linguistic equations if they had wished.	10

2	528	An English transliteration, though not a perfect one, would be rather along the lines of "Ahl-yieh-ain-nah," where the "ain" is pronounced such that it would rhyme with the English expression "rain".	10

3	460	I was an English major, and a poetess! How was it then that I lay bound on a strange world, and bore in my flesh a fresh brand? How Elicia Nevins would have laughed with delight could she have seen me, her lovely, saucy rival, brought so low, even to a brand.	10

2	46	"I speak English," I informed her, speaking in that intricate, beautiful tongue.	10
2	56	I repeated his command, in English.	10
2	641	In a sense, English does, too, for the expression 'berg' is simple German for 'mountain', and the expression 'iceberg', then, is a composite word which, literally translated would yield 'ice mountain' or 'mountain of ice'.	10
2	643	Interestingly, Goreans, although they do not capitalize all nouns do capitalize many more of them than would be capitalized in, say, English or French.	10
3	539	"Send someone to me who is in authority who speaks English," she demanded.	10

31	108	"I did not know such men could exist," she whispered again, again in English, which language she used to express her most intimate thoughts, again so softly that she might not awaken me.	10
31	116	She was silent for a moment and then she said, so softly that I could scarcely hear it, and again in English, "I, though a woman of Earth, admit that men are my masters.	10
32	69	Could I know the truth of her? Could I know how she had confessed herself slave and needful of my touch? Of course not, for I had been asleep, and I could not understand her English.	10
32	650	He spoke in English.	10
44	202	The word 'Mamba' in most of the river dialects does not refer to a venomous reptile as might be expected, given its meaning in English, but, interestingly, is applied rather generally to most types of predatory river tharlarion.	10

4	175	Interestingly, the design also bears a remote resemblance, if one thinks about it, to the English letter 'K'.	10
4	176	Since the first sound in the expression 'Kajira' would be represented in English by the letter 'K' it is quite possible that this resemblance is more than a coincidence.	10

13	1472	Strictly, of course, in English, one might be both a woman and a virgin".	10
14	162	The two Americans, beside the red-haired girl, were Lois and Inez; the French girl was Corinne; the two English girls were Priscilla and Margaret.	10
