This supplement to "A Bibliography of Generative-Based Grammatical Analyses of Spanish" includes all available materials that have appeared since November 1973, and pre-1973 entries not contained in the original bibliography, particularly items published outside the U.S. The present bibliography, like the original, contains two general divisions:…

This is the second supplement to "A Bibliography of Generative-Based Grammatical Analyses of Spanish." It includes all available materials that have appeared since February of 1975. This bibliography contains two general divisions: phonology and syntax/semantics. Information regarding the location of reviews and abstracts is included in most of…

The possible usefulness of computer poetry is concerned with what the programmer can learn about language, about poetry, and about poets. The problems in designing computer programs to construct poetry include considerations in generating well-formed sentences which have the added restrictions that poetry requires: meter, rhyme, logic, diction,…

This dissertation is an attempt to characterize the notion "exception to a rule of grammar" within the context of Chomsky's conception of grammar as given in "Aspects of the Theory of Syntax." This notion depends on a prior notion of "rule government"--in each phrase marker on which a transformational rule may…

After outlining the structural linguistic approach to form classes in general and Spanish nouns and adjectives in particular, the author concludes that "nouns and adjectives in Spanish cannot be characterized in any satisfactory fashion by their occurrence in morphological or syntactic frames." The grammatical framework used for this study is "the…

This article argues that QUE-deletion in Montreal French is a syntactic rule, rather than a phonological one, as earlier treatments had claimed. It is divided into five sections: (1) a discussion of why the rule accounting for the alternation of QUE with zero is a deletion, not an insertion rule, (2) a critique of the best known earlier…

A device of emphasis in French syntax is defined as a construction of syntactic paraphrase whose function is to make certain parts of a sentence stand out for purposes of contrast, clarification, differentiation, or because a given element is considered important. These devices exist in French because of the lack of a phonemic stress system, and…

Ten papers resulting from the Basque linguistics seminar are collected in this volume. Following introductions by L. Michelena and William A. Douglass, the papers are: (1)"Morphological Evidence of Abstract Verbs in Basque" by Glenn Ayres, (2) "A Survey of Linguistic Variables in the Central Zone of the Deva River Valley" by Ramon M. S. Bereicua…

A detailed grammar of Buem, one of the Togo-Remnant Languages spoken in Ghana's Volta region, describes the major structures and many minor structures occurring in informal and semi-formal speech. The phonetics and much of the phonology are described in taxonomic terms, and the vowel harmony system, syntax, and morphology are described in a…

This bibliography of 1860 books and articles is intended to provide researchers, instructors, and students of applied German linguistics, as well as school and college teachers of German, with background material on a variety of topics in the field of applied German linguistics which can be of service in the preparation of instructional materials…

This volume of papers in linguistics is the first in a series of proposed semiannual publications sponsored by the Linguistic Circle of Madison, Wisconsin. The first of the four papers concerns recursive rules, their use, and possible necessity. It is the author's intention to examine some of the properties of rules which he believes to hold for…

This collection of papers is the first in a series resulting from the Polish-English Contrastive Project. The overall purposes of the project are to prepare a Polish-English contrastive grammar and to develop pedagogical materials. The basic model used for the research is the transformational generative one. The papers included in this volume are…

This book discusses the relevance of applied linguistics to foreign language teaching and supports the point of view that linguistics is relevant as the source of assumptions rather than as the source of conclusions. In foreign language teaching, the assumptions based on linguistics must ultimately be evaluated on their ability to explain the…

This collection of 31 papers is the second resulting from the Polish-English Contrastive Project. The overall purposes of the project are to prepare a Polish-English contrastive grammar and to develop pedagogical material. The basic model used for the research is the transformational generative one. This volume is divided into three sections: (1)…
