This article attempts to justify the surface presence of English split infinitives in terms of the deep structure of the language posited by current transformation theory." (FWB)

A set of five noun features proposed by Chomsky for characterizing the selectional restriction of English verbs are examined. Examples are presented to show how the "small" set of features is both "too broad" and "too narrow" at once. (SW)

Revised version of a paper presented at the Second International Congress of Applied Linguistics, Cambridge, England, 1969. (DS)

The Russian device for distinguishing between mass words and count words by forming singulatives through suffixation is studied. (PMJ)

Presents a reworking of the rules of genitive singular inflection in German nouns, allowing the prediction of the distribution of "s" and "es" in a greater number of nouns than previously possible. (AM)

Believes modern linguistics has done little to explore German modal particles because by focusing on sentences as the basic category for linguistic thinking these words did not seem to matter. Describes model which gives students experience with these particles in meaningful communication. (Author/BK)

Presents the results of a study of the errors made on essays by Moroccan students of English as a second language. The average number of grammatical errors was 10.62 per paper and the most frequent errors were related to tense, prepositions, articles, form, and concord. (SED)

Proposes a model for the description of "tense" in English verbs in the indicative mood. (AM)

In teaching the tense-aspect system of English to speakers of Moroccan Arabic (MA), the teacher should take into account the reinterpretation of MA categories into English ones, the learning of new categories, the redistribution of categories, and the learning of contrasts existing in English but underdifferentiated in MA. (JB)

A structural-functional basis for the construction of an English tense system is proposed. It is asserted that such a system will facilitate the teaching of English tense usage. (Author/RM)

Since linguistics and foreign language education meet in the domain of contrastive analysis, it should be possible for these two professional areas to cooperate in the development of pedagogically useful grammars. Such grammars should concentrate on traits of particular languages and on functional linguistic style. (JB)

This article draws attention to a number of syntactic peculiarities of the so-called pronominal adverbs "en" and "y" in French, and maintains that these adverbs differ quite markedly in syntactic behavior. (Text is in French.) (Author/AM)

This article is intended to help teachers of German classes explain gender-number-case inflection. As a nominal is expanded from pronoun to noun phrase, inflections of the noun and adjectives relieve the burden of distinction from the determiner, increase the number of inflectional forms and provide redundancy for easy communication. (CHK)

Describes a syntactic study (undertaken at the University of Nottingham) of some linguistic features of texts taken from recent German chemical journals. The study was intended to aid in the development and improvement of courses in German offered to students of chemistry. (RM)
