Sanders, Gerald A. – Linguistics, 1977
An examination of the predicates "optional" and "obligatory" is made that suggests that they are far more appropriately viewed as derived rather than primitive notions, whose appropriate attributions follow in all cases from independent linguistic facts and principles of a much more general and more generally significant character. (Author/HP)
Descriptors: English, Linguistic Theory, Phonology, Sentence Structure

Chandola, Anoop – Linguistics, 1975
Describes an evolutionary compositional theory and method based on cause and effect. In Section I, the fundamentals of the theory are presented, in Section II the method of description. Section III compares the evolutionary theory and method with other currents in contemporary linguistic thought. (Author/RM)
Descriptors: Descriptive Linguistics, Diachronic Linguistics, Language, Linguistic Theory

Choon-Kyu Oh – Linguistics, 1974
The effect of presuppositions on the applicability of grammatical rules is discussed. It is argued that the speaker's presupposition may cause a grammatical rule to become optional. (RM)
Descriptors: Grammar, Language Universals, Linguistic Theory, Sentence Structure

Kunze, Juergen – Linguistics, 1977
The components of a dependency grammar are described, and some procedures for automatic sentence analysis are given. (HP)
Descriptors: Deep Structure, Grammar, Linguistic Theory, Models

Oguma, Hitoshi; Iritani, Toshio – Linguistics, 1976
Some psycholinguistic interpretations of the Japanese language are made, with reference to the relationships between sentence structure and cognition. Features of the language indicating a strong interdependency between linguistic expression and behavioral practice are examined. (Author/RM)
Descriptors: Behavior Patterns, Cognitive Processes, Grammar, Japanese

Boadi, L. A. – Linguistics, 1974
This paper examines form and meaning of a class of simple sentences in which various constituents are brought into focus by the speaker. The Akan language is used, and the syntactic processes, or focus-marking, required to derive surface structures of the sentences are examined. (CK)
Descriptors: Akan, Function Words, Generative Grammar, Linguistic Theory

Bennett, William A. – Linguistics, 1975
Clitics are explained through the interplay of different levels of language in performance. It is shown that clitic movement can be blocked on phonological ground, and accusative marked by "shwa" follows, rather than precedes, a clitic segment containing a back vowel--"vous le" or "nous le". (SCC)
Descriptors: Descriptive Linguistics, French, Language Patterns, Linguistic Performance

Martin, Philippe – Linguistics, 1975
Discusses rules governing the intonation of French phrases and sentences. (Text is in French.) (RM)
Descriptors: Descriptive Linguistics, French, Intonation, Linguistic Theory

Naumova, T. N. – Linguistics, 1976
This article discusses sentence structure and sentence production as an integral process that reflects the given situation as perceived by the speaker, and not merely as a grammatical combination of words. The role of predicativity in sentence production is outlined. (CLK)
Descriptors: Communication (Thought Transfer), Language Patterns, Linguistic Performance, Linguistic Theory

Carlton, Charles M. – Linguistics, 1974
Examines structural properties of Romanian participle types in order to explain their descriptive relationship to the infinitive. (RM)
Descriptors: Form Classes (Languages), Grammar, Language Patterns, Linguistic Theory

Droste, F. G. – Linguistics, 1973
