Modified version of a talk given at Bloomington, Indiana on March 29, 1971. (VM)

This article discusses the relationship between linguistic theory and structuralist philosophy, and explores the possibility of applying structuralist ideas to other human sciences such as anthropology. (Text is in Spanish.) (CLK)

Discusses Chomsky's influence in the field of linguistics and concludes that it is part of the branch of psychology and, hence, objective in its analysis of language behavior. (SB)

Criticizes M. Halle's theory of morphology in word formation as too strong a generalization. (CK)

Suggests that the evolutionary process in each child's acquisition of language is a mirror image of the historical evolution of the language. (TO)

We respond to critical comments and consider alternative statistical and syntactic analyses of our target paper which analyzed comprehension scores of Broca's aphasic patients from multiple sentence types in many languages, and showed that Movement but not Complexity or Mood are factors in the receptive deficit of these patients. Specifically, we…

Cited are 573 U.S. and foreign articles, reports, and books particularly relevant to the field of computational linguistics with selective coverage in the fields of computation and programming, and social science uses of computers as language processors. In the area of linguistics, a fairly broad view of structural theory and semantics is taken…

This document is designed to aid the teacher in bridging the gap created by apparently divergent approaches to the study of language. It attempts to identify certain basic assumptions prerequisite to the study of language and to give the teacher an overview of the traditional, structural, and transformational-generative approaches to the study of…

Traces the development of Saussure's synchronic/diachronic distinction, and investigates this distinction from the point of view of methodology and theory. (AM)

Proposes the necessity of abandoning the point of view of structural linguistics for the notions of modern linguistics in order to describe Latin case. An example is made of the ablative case. (AM)

Noam Chomsky proposed that when children learn a language they do not learn to imitate given sentences; rather, they learn rules by which an infinite number of sentences can be produced and understood. This essay discusses the impact which this has had on the way educators view language and learning. (KC)

Discusses the evolution of the study of language to the science of linguistics structures. (BR)
