Bouma, Lowell C. – Language Sciences, 1977
A discussion of Roman Jakobson's view that grammatical meaning is distinct from lexical meaning is presented. (HP)

Roldan, Mercedes – Language Sciences, 1970
Demonstrates that the Spanish verb estar, which occurs in all stative sentences, is semantically distinct from ser" in having a contrastive semantic content, state," whereas the verb ser" is a true copula, having no semantic load and existing in the sentence as a mere inflection holder." (FWB)

Hofmann, T. R. – Language Sciences, 1973
Attempts to show that phrase-structure diagrams (commonly called trees) are inadequate for the representation of meaning, particularly for that variety of meaning called descriptive content. (RS)

Ruhl, Charles – Language Sciences, 1973
Original version of this paper was read at the Fifth Meeting of the Southeastern Conference on Linguistics, University of Maryland, May 1971. Argues that accounting for coherence in discourse should be one of the goals of linguistic theory; making coherent discourse, not the isolated sentence, the domain of linguistic explanation also throws…

Ekundayo, A. Ayotunde – Language Sciences, 1976
Some sociolinguistic considerations must enter directly into a complete generative grammatical analysis of Yoruba. Using Katz's conventional approach to grammatical description wherein syntax and semantics are separate would exclude a group of possible sentences. (POP)

Suleiman, Saleh M. – Language Sciences, 1989
Investigates the pragmatic functions of topicalizing subject (S) and object (O) in Standard Arabic and attempts to find a functional explanation for the occasional preposing/topicalization of S and/or O over the verb (V) to yield a construction in the form of SVO order or any other order sanctioned by the rules of Arabic grammar.

Bergen, John J. – Language Sciences, 1977
A significant discovery of generative theory is that the features present in a lexical entry in a sentence's deep structure influence choice and arrangement of words in the surface structure. The systemic and nonsystemic functions of Spanish count and measure entity nouns are elaborated and analyzed. (CHK)
