Date: 01 Aug 2002 09:22:00 -0500 From: "Bill Hord" <HORD_B-AT-hccs.cc.tx.us> Subject: Re: Bourdieu as an adjective Content-Type:text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" A few searches in periodical databases suggest that bourdieuian is much more common than bourdieuean. The form bourdieuvian also appears occasionally. The latter is my own preference (along the lines of Peruvian); but there are so few words in English to which the rule might apply (igloovian?) that the rule is very weak (or nonexistant). However, isn't it the case that English often inserts a consonant between a noun ending in a vowel and the -ian suffix (Panamanian).

Being stubborn, I've sent stuff into print with this rendering of PB-qua-adjective, buying myself some approbation in the process.
