van Oosten, Jeanne – 1977
Criteria for defining individual members of the preposition word class are set forth.

Berretta, Monica – 1977
A generative semantic model for a componential analysis of prepositions in Italian sentences is described and critiqued.

The model emphasizes the semantic role of prepositions and regards this role as the basis for a syntactic…

Elerick, Charles – 1979
This research is based on the assumption that a Spanish/English bilingual is aware of the phonological and semantic relatedness of the many hundreds of pairs of transparently cognate items in the two languages. This awareness is linguistically significant in that it is reflected in the internalized grammar of the bilingual. The bilingual speaker…

Woodson, Linda – 1978
Paragraphs, as well as sentences, can be spoken of as having a deep and a surface structure. The amount of deep structure of the paragraph that is mapped onto the surface paragraph is related to the mode of discourse in which the paragraph is found: the deep structure in scientific paragraphs is relatively uncomplicated with few assumptions made;…

Rationalist v behaviorist theories are discussed.…
