This paper spotlights the twelve slogans of the Olympic Games in order to critically analyze the ideologies underlying the discourse.

Hawkins, Roger – Second Language Research, 1989
Examination of how French second language learners construct rules for French relativiser morphology found that learners did not make use of a theory of markedness like the accessibility hierarchy for relativization, but rather appeared to construct rules on the basis of the linear ordering of the constituents of restrictive relative clauses in…

Garnham, A. – Language and Speech, 1987
Investigates the availability of surface representations for the interpretation of verb-phrase ellipsis. Results show that an elliptical verb phrase is most easily interpreted if its antecedent is in the immediately preceding sentence and that this can not be explained in terms of the unnaturalness of the passages with distant antecedents.

Dewell, Robert B. – Unterrichtspraxis, 1986
The German preposition "bei" has several meanings and uses. If the basic meaning of "bei" is taken as "abstract setting," the analysis can be extended naturally to account for the more concrete locational uses such as references to activities or specific circumstances. (CB)

Bookless, Tom; Mortley, Jane – International Journal of Applied Linguistics, 1996
Proposes a method of analyzing the spontaneous speech of severely agrammatic patients. The method employed involves the description and analysis of a male patient's video-recorded conversation with a speech therapist. Preliminary conclusions indicate the presence of some linguistic mechanisms underlying normal syntactic processing. (32 references)…

Benware, Wilbur A. – Unterrichtspraxis, 1986
Instructional strategies targeted for differentiating between German verb synonyms have involved: (1) extended paraphrases or definitions in German and/or English; (2) reference to stylistic and/or contextual differences; and (3) the use of syntactic and/or semantic features. Application of these strategies is shown with the…

(CB)

Coulon, R. – Etudes de Linguistique Appliquee, 1979
Presents an analysis of noun phrases in which the definite article is used and omitted. Several studies are reviewed and two types of occurrences are distinguished: direct (agent, instrument, object) and oblique (locative, dative). The relationships, perceptible in the deep structure, are blurred in the transformations leading to surface…

Lecerf, Yves – Langages, 1979
It is proposed that the notion of "address" is neither meaning nor form but that it designates the form which designates meaning. It is therefore in a position underlying both form and meaning. (AMH)

Horrocks, G.; Stavrou, M. – Journal of Linguistics, 1987
Given that the principal bounding nodes, or barriers, for subjacency are noun phrase (NP), S, and S-bar, with S optionally a barrier, NP and S-bar obligatorily barriers, differences between Greek and English WH-movement are discussed. The contrasts are derived from independently motivated differences in NP structure between the two languages.…
