This paper presents the detailed propositional analyses of the text employed in a study that compared the contents of recall protocols of high knowledge (HK) and low knowledge (LK) groups. The paper also includes the propositional analyses of the recall protocols of the HK and LK individuals, as well as detailed analyses of the results. (Author/FL)

Discuses the confusion concerning definitions of "science" and "technology," not only among the public but within the fields. Describes how this affects provision of technological literacy. Provides direction and a possible solution for those developing such programs. (CH)

Morpheme distribution is declared sufficiently independent of phonological considerations to warrant a theory of autonomous morphology. The "maximal nesting principle" proposed requires that each affix be attached to a new nonterminal node. This principle forces a new analysis of "-ate" derived verbs and eliminates the morphological abstractions…

Reports on the second phase of a two-phase, two cohort componential analysis of reading. Finds a good fit for the grade four data, a reasonable fit for grade five, and a less unambiguous fit for grade six. Finds results are generally confirmed with the simultaneous structural analyses of phase one and phase two multisamples. (RS)

This paper outlines an approach to the study of internal state words and their use in conversation. The first section of the paper deals with the basic categories of words involved, discussing and illustrating theoretical and practical problems in defining critical components and boundaries for the class of internal state words as a whole and then…

Examined the likelihood of changes in various parts of children's drawings of people when the children were asked to represent action. (Author/JMB)

The work of John Wilson, now teaching at Oxford University, as moral educator is summarized and evaluated. His rationalist humanistic approach is based on a componential characterization of the morally educated person. The rationale and conceptual status of the components is discussed. His position is compared to that of Peter McPhail, R. S.…

Formal semantic analysis appears to be capable of handling certain cases where kin terms appear to cover an illogical assortment of relatives, an assortment which constitutes a disjunctive class. Two examples are the kin terms "ngaraija" and "tjilja," used by the Njamal, an Australian tribe. (CFM)

This study involved an investigation of the use of Pearson r, tetrachoric r, and Kendall Tau-B coefficients as measures of association for the incomplete principal components analysis of simulated Likert scale attitudinal data, based on a known factor pattern and possessing different types of severe departures from normality.

It is shown that McDonald's generalization of Classical Principal Components Analysis to groups of variables maximally channels the totalvariance of the original variables through the groups of variables acting as groups. An equation is obtained for determining the vectors of correlations of the L2 components with the original variables.…

The ordering of bound Dakota person affixes is discussed. Data are introduced showing that the ordering is patient before agent. Schwarz suggests that the ordering refers strictly to person. An overview of the Dakota verb system and related points are also discussed. (PMJ)

Raises questions regarding the conclusions reached in the previous article. (JB)

This paper reports three experiments that test the Presupposition-Denial account of complement set reference. According to the theory, complement set focus arises when focus is on the difference between the amount conveyed by a natural language quantifier and a large presupposed amount. We call this difference the shortfall. In this paper, what is…

Different theories of semantic fields are discussed and different types of semantic fields explained. (RM)
