Consideration of the grammatical connections which might exist between certain structural types of substantival metaphors, e.g., You're a (greedy) pig!'' and You're as greedy as a pig!'' (RS)

Discusses two causes of what is considered here the inadequacy of generative grammars. (RM)

Endorsement to adopt the language of the predicate calculus as a standard means of describing deep structures. Its adoption would facilitate the exchange of ideas between linguistics and logicians. (RS)

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

The problem of determining the grammatical correctness, as opposed to semantic correctness, of the output of a generative system is discussed. (RM)
