Experiencer Deletion
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smith, Donald L. – Glossa, 1975
This paper investigates the referential constraints on possible overt experiencer phrases as compared to those on implied experiencers with the omission of the experiencer phrase. The inherent meanings of psych-movement verbals as well as tense and complementizer type are argued to be relevant factors in the statement of those constraints.…

Lexical Representation and Variable Rules in Natural Generative Phonology
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rudes, Blair A. – Glossa, 1976
Part 1 examines the lexical representations of natural generative phonology and demonstrates that these matrices represent the phonemes of a language. Part 2 discusses the implication of phonetic variation encountered in fast speech for the choice of lexical representations and for the organization of phonological rules. (Author/RM)

On the Global Nature of the Sentential Subject Constraint
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Neeld, Ronald – Glossa, 1975
Evidence is presented that the Sentential Subject Constraint presented by Ross in "Constraints on Variables in Syntax" is a global constraint which makes reference to surface structure and to earlier stages of a derivation. (SC)

A Psycholinguistic Perspective on English Grammar.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Prideaux, Gary D. – Glossa, 1979
Proposes an alternative to transformational grammars, based on the notion that a grammatical system should be open to psycholinguistic interpretation, and disallowing grammatical transformations, dealing instead with the information content of sentence surface structure. (Author/AM)

Alternatives to Global Constraints
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Emonds, J. – Glossa, 1973
Syntactic rules with structural descriptions which apply on several linguistic levels are called global derivational constraints. (DD)

Order and Degree of Fusion in Causative Structures
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hochster, Anita – Glossa, 1978
This article hypothesizes that causative constructions among the languages of the world share some fundamental characteristics, even though they have different ordering restrictions and varying degrees of fusion. (Author/NCR)

Spanish Stress Assignment: A Mixed Phonological and Morphological Approach.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fink, Robert – Glossa, 1978
Proposes an analysis of Spanish stress patterns based on a combination of phonological and morphological surface structure, which draws evidence from psycholinguistic data as well. (Author/AM)

Competing Analyses of a Deviant Phonology.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Maxwell, Edith M. – Glossa, 1979
Presents two analyses of deviant phonological systems. The one based on production evidence alone accounts for (1) differences in surface behavior of a set of phonetic segments with three possible phoneme sources, and (2) obstruent clusters across morpheme boundaries. The "substitution analysis" identifies the child's underlying representations…
