Based on a lecture given in Charles Fillmore's syntax class at the 1970 Linguistic Society of America Summer Linguistic Institute at Ohio State University. (RS)

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)

In language use, redundant linguistic items are reduced in size, replaced with a proform or left out. This paper examines the nature of the processes involved and the conditions under which they operate. (CHK)

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)

Surveys trends in linguistic thought over the past 50 years, with particular reference to structuralism and generative grammar. (AM)

Discusses two causes of what is considered here the inadequacy of generative grammars. (RM)

Points out certain difficulties in recent proposals arguing for archi-phonemes in underlying representations. (Author/RM)

This paper concerns the theory of systemic grammar developed by Halliday, Hudson and others. It suggests modifications of Hudson's generative version, and the model presented resembles transformational grammar. (CHK)

Focuses on behavior of Russian stems with regard to vowel/zero alternations. Explanations are in terms of surface manifestations, and reservations about generative grammar are expressed. (RM)

It is argued that too much attention to deep structure has led to neglect of surface realizations. Case relations and case forms are studied as well as the relationships between the two. (Text is in French.) (AM)

An introduction to transformational generative grammar including recommendations of textbooks for those interested in the subject. (SW)

The necessity is asserted for constructing a theory of contrastive analysis which would incorporate both translation equivalence and "form and placement of the rules in grammar" as criteria for making decisions concerning comparability. (Available from: See FL 508 214). (Author/RM)

This paper is concerned with the semantic, rather than the syntactic, nature of non-restrictive relativization, and its implications. (CK)

This generative grammar of Korean analyzes the syntactic aspects of case markers, delimiters, complementation, and relativization. C. J. Fillmore's case grammar is adopted as the overall framework. Case markers and delimiters are seen to interact in two ways: one is obligatory deletion of the nominative and accusative markers before any delimiter,…
