This paper presents, within the framework of case grammar, an analysis of object pronominalization in Spanish. It begins with a discussion of the derivation of pronouns in general, and proceeds with observations on the structure of object pronouns in Spanish, and with rules for their derivation. Reasons are given for excluding many so-called…

Based on a lecture given in Charles Fillmore's syntax class at the 1970 Linguistic Society of America Summer Linguistic Institute at Ohio State University. (RS)

It is argued that too much attention to deep structure has led to neglect of surface realizations. Case relations and case forms are studied as well as the relationships between the two. (Text is in French.) (AM)

This generative grammar of Korean analyzes the syntactic aspects of case markers, delimiters, complementation, and relativization. C. J. Fillmore's case grammar is adopted as the overall framework. Case markers and delimiters are seen to interact in two ways: one is obligatory deletion of the nominative and accusative markers before any delimiter,…

Treats the general linguistic aspect of Fillmore's theories. (RM)

A critical review of the development of case theory as put forth by N. Chomsky, C. J. Fillmore, J. M. Anderson, J. J. Robinson, and S. Starosta. (Text is in French.) (AM)

Discusses the development of Fillmore's case theory. (Text is in French.) (AM)

Discusses problems related to case grammar theory, including: the organizations of a case grammar; determination of semantic roles; definition and hierarchy of cases; cause-effect relations; and formalization and notation. (Text is in French.) (AM)

There are four articles in this report; the first three were written by Charles J. Fillmore: "Lexical Entries for Verbs,""Review of 'Componential Analysis of General Vocabulary--The Semantic Structure of a Set of Verbs in English, Hindi, and Japanese, Part II' by Edward Herman Bendix," and "Types of Lexical…

This first volume of a three-part language research study states and illustrates that the point of departure for comparative analysis of two languages rests on a comprehensive typology in each of a number of areas of grammar. The report suggests that a limited set of functions can be isolated, and that the range of grammatical possibilities open…

This book attempts to bring linguists and language teachers up to date on the latest developments in semantics. A survey of the role of semantics in linguistics and other academic areas is followed by a historical perspective of semantics in American linguistics. Various semantic models are discussed. Anomaly, ambiguity, and discourse are…
