Proposes a hypothesis explaining the use of the "simple/progressive" dichotomy in the English verb, based on a semantic analysis and on an understanding of "aspect." (AM)

Discusses the applicability of "fuzzy sets" to explicating the notion of "vagueness." (Author/HP)

The components of a dependency grammar are described, and some procedures for automatic sentence analysis are given. (HP)

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

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)

Sentences containing "estar" + participle are analyzed in order to highlight their semantic characteristics. (RM)

The article begins with a historical background of systemic generative grammar and continues with an analysis of it on a syntactic level. The topics examined are: grammatical output, functions and properties, form, embedding and discontinuity, coordinate constructions, immediate constituents, the lexicon, phonology and morphology, and semantics.…

An analysis of sentence grammar is made to show that the ability to produce coherent texts emerges slowly and late in linguistic and cognitive development. (HP)
