Presents arguments, based on the evidence of anaphora, against lexical decomposition. (AM)

The reply is divided into three sections discussing the data on derivations that Zaitchik had cited against the author's theory, some minor points on the internal structure of the theory, and two major points about explicitness. (SC)

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

THIS ANALYSIS OF UNDERLYING SYNTACTIC STRUCTURE IS BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE PARTS OF SPEECH CALLED "VERBS" AND "ADJECTIVES" ARE TWO SUBCATEGORIES OF ONE MAJOR LEXICAL CATEGORY, "PREDICATE." FROM THIS ASSUMPTION, THE HYPOTHESIS IS ADVANCED THAT, IN LANGUAGES EXHIBITING THE COPULA, THE DEEP STRUCTURE OF SENTENCES CONTAINING PREDICATE…

Examines the semantics of certain prepositions to show that the interpretation of relationships between linguistic units in a sentence is not always deducible from the logical structure underlying it, if this study does not include the study of pragmatic factors. Available from Liber Laeromedel, Box 1205, S-22105 Lund, Sweden. (Author/TL)

Attempts to solve, by means of examples, some of the current problems in predicate raising (PR) in the theory of generative semantics. (Text is in German.) (DS)

A putatively-universal, deep-semantic and -syntactic representation of motion and location is presented. The most characteristic patterns for deriving this representation to the surface in English on the one hand and in Atsugewi (a Hokan Indian language) on the other are then presented and compared.

Proposes a simple grammar of modern English stressing the independence of grammar from the logical structure of sentences. Available from Liber Laeromedel, Box 1205, S-22105 Lund, Sweden. (TL)
