The problems of measurement and type-formation are discussed in the light of two approaches toward systems of linguistic objects. First, they are discussed as gestalt systems; second, they are discussed in the light of systems of general type viewed as sets of collections of arbitrary distinctive features. (Author/RM)

Attempts a preliminary typological study of sub-languages constituting one national language. Three types of sub-languages are distinguished: natural language, language of science, and informational language. They are compared to the three levels of language analysis, speech, norm and system. (RM)

Examines structural properties of Romanian participle types in order to explain their descriptive relationship to the infinitive. (RM)

Addresses some of the problems concerning the hierarchical relationship between language typology and genetic linguistics and between typology and universal grammar. (RM)

This paper examines language variation in terms of overdetermination and underdetermination of structural information as related to grammatical rules and the structure of social behavior. (CLK)

Pronominal usage in spoken Bangkok Thai is described from a sociolinguistic point of view. Two phonological variants are indicated: one when a variant occurs in isolation and the other in natural speech. These two types of phonological variation generally are marked by different tones. (Author/RM)

Discusses three different patterns of restrictive and non-restrictive prepositional relative clauses--their functions, variations and permitted uses. (CK)

This investigation examines in aphasics the loss of the ability to relate words to their grammatical categories. It finds that recognition of grammatical categories is lost in all forms of aphasia studied, but that the loss is manifested differently for different types of aphasia quantitatively and qualitatively.

A word combination can have a grammatical function differing from that of the individual words which compose it. This increases the flexibility of lexical material and suggests a new approach to the classification of items in a lexicon. Examples are drawn mostly from German. (TL)

Agrammatism, the disruption of the grammatical structure of speech, is studied in its accompaniment to aphasia. Since it occurs with all studied forms of aphasia, it is considered here a symptom typical to aphasia. It is also examined in relation to different kinds of aphasics. (SCC)

Some of the irregular verbs in the present indicative of Spanish are analyzed and described, and regular verbs are reviewed. (RM)
