LEVIN, J.I. – 1967
THIS ARTICLE DISCUSSES THE ORDERED DISTRIBUTION OF A GIVEN ITEM IN A TEXT. THE ELEMENT CONSIDERED MAY BE ANY DISCRETE ITEM OR SET OF ITEMS IN A TEXT, SUCH AS A PHONEME OR GROUP OF PHONEMES, A MORPHEME, SYNTACTIC CONSTRUCTION OR INTONATION PATTERN. THE AIM IS TO MEASURE NUMERICALLY HOW COMPACTLY (OR DIFFUSELY) THE ITEM IS DISTRIBUTED IN THE TEXT.…

Chapman, Anne – Linguistics and Education, 1995
Identifies the characteristic principles of intertextuality in school mathematics. Drawing on a larger study, this article examines how language is used to construct the shared meanings of a mathematical theme. An analysis is made of spoken and written texts to determine their contribution to the development of a thematic formation for the topic…

LEHMANN, W.P. – 1965
BASED ON A LECTURE GIVEN AT THE UNIV. OF TEXAS SCIENCE CONFERENCE, NOV. 20, 1964, THIS PAPER PRESENTS IN RELATIVELY NON-TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY A DESCRIPTION OF THE "STRUCTURAL" APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF LANGUAGE WHICH UNDERLIES THE WORK OF THE LINGUISTICS RESEARCH CENTER. THIS APPROACH ANALYZES LANGUAGE IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT CAN BE MANIPULATED WITH…

Sankoff, David; Cedergren, Henrietta J. – Language, 1976
Computer-based multidimensional scaling techniques are used to determine the dimensionality of grammatical variation in three large sets of data: Ross' (1973) Noun Phrase and fake Noun Phrase data; Sankoff's (1974) complementizer "que"-deletion (Montreal French) data; and Cedergren's (1973) syllable-final S-reduction (Panamanian Spanish) data.

Toglia, Michael P.; Battig, William F. – 1978
This volume contains information derived from college student ratings of a large number and variety of individual words (along with some nonwords) for seven basic semantic characteristics. The primary data are rating values for over 2800 words for seven dimensions of special significance for current research on verbal behavior and related topics.…

Afendras, Evangelos A. – 1969
Language contact and the resulting interference has long been diagnosed as one of the primary forces behind language change. In cases of multilingual contact within geographically restricted areas, converging changes of the languages in contact have been uncovered and described. The geographic areas characterized by such linguistic situations came…

Wexler, Kenneth; And Others – 1974
Some aspects of a theory of grammar are presented which derive from a formal theory of language acquisition. One aspect of the theory is a universal constraint on analyzability known as the Freezing Principle, which supplants a variety of constraints proposed in the literature. A second aspect of the theory is the Invariance Principle, a…

Smith, Robert Lawrence, Jr. – 1972
This report is a detailed empirical examination of Suppes' ideas about the syntax and semantics of natural language, and an attempt at supporting the proposal that model-theoretic semantics of the type first proposed by Tarski is a useful tool for understanding the semantics of natural language. Child speech was selected as the best place to find…
