Discusses syntax and the use of syntagma in English poetry. (CK)

Synonyms are not in syntactic free-variation. Some text composition rules are examined and it is shown that they prevent the occurrence of paradoxical utterances which could arise if synonyms were freely substitutable. (Text is in German.) (TL)

Consideration of the grammatical connections which might exist between certain structural types of substantival metaphors, e.g., You're a (greedy) pig!'' and You're as greedy as a pig!'' (RS)

A coherent theory of intonation in relation to syntax has not yet been formulated, partly because there is no satisfactory theory of context within a transformational generative grammar, and partly because intonation studies have been concerned with phonetic descriptions of intonation contours. This article calls for an intonation theory. (CK)

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)

Field work conducted under the auspices of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, 1957-1971; research partially supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation. (DD)

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

Sentences containing "estar" + participle are analyzed in order to highlight their semantic characteristics. (RM)

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

This article attempts to show that a more rigorous approach to surface structure analysis can reveal distinctions just as subtle as those discovered through analyzing deep structures or transformations. Relative clauses are examined in relation to nominal constructions, and alternatives to restrictive and non-restrictive classifications are…

This article presents a description of intonation in English in terms of the relationship between the syntactic surface structure of a given sentence and certain distinctive intonative features.

Expanded version of a paper presented before the Applied Linguistics Section of the South Central Modern Language Association Convention, Memphis, Tennessee, 1970. (DD)

Discussion of whether the Japanese copula can adequately be described as a dummy, i.e., as an element which although existing in the surface structure can be dispensed with in the deep structure of a sentence; based on a paper read at the 1970 meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europaea, Prague, Czechoslovakia.
