Reviews the glossematic theory of linguistic oppositions and suggests a reformulation of the theory in terms of a proposed differentiation theory. (CK)

Proposes a hypothesis explaining the use of the "simple/progressive" dichotomy in the English verb, based on a semantic analysis and on an understanding of "aspect." (AM)

Discusses the principles of linguistic deviance in terms of five sets of rules and their corresponding linguistic or para-linguistic parameters. This theoretical framework relates assimilation, grammatical, lexical, referential, and reality rules to the parameters of acceptability, grammaticality, factuality, validity, and truth respectively. (EJS)

Presents a general theoretical model of the psychological mechanism of effective speech to provide the basis on which experimental investigations can be conducted and practical recommendations for the field of mass communication can be carried out. (EJS)

Presents some examples of differences of meaning, as well as "secondary effects," in noun phrases using or omitting the articles, definite and indefinite, in German, e.g.: "Die Kinder machen Krach,""Die Kinder machen den Krach," and "Die Kinder machen einen Krach!"

On critique of an anthology which contains 12 papers by 11 authors. The critique is preceded by a lengthy theoretical framework for such terms as syntax and semantics, since the anthologized authors, who represent a diversity of specialities, use such simple terms in widely differing senses. (EJS)

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