Napoli, Donna Jo – Linguistic Inquiry, 1975
Discusses Italian adverbs that undergo gender/number agreement with noun phrases in particular environments and shows that the rules accounting for this agreement must be global. Classification of relevant adjectives and adverbs, and semantic considerations are discussed. Available from the MIT Press, 28 Carleton Street, Cambridge, MA 02142. (CLK)

Cattell, Ray – Language, 1978
An analysis of the derivation of "why" and other interrogative adverbs shows that they do not involve the movement of NP's, and therefore do not present counter-examples to the NP Ecology Constraint. (Author/HP)

White, Lydia – 1977
In early transformational generative grammar, it was assumed that all semantic interpretation would be done off deep structure, but with the proposals for the extended standard theory (EST) of Chomsky (1968, 1972) came the realization that certain aspects of semantic interpretation, such as focus and presuppostion and scope of quantifiers, must be…

Nuessel, Frank H., Jr. – 1973
A review of traditional and transformational studies on the phenomenon of sentential complementation (noun clauses) reveals many areas of agreement. Although some adherents of generative grammar may have occasionally obscured this aspect because of the offensive nature of their criticism of other modes of analysis, it is seen that, in several…

Foster, David William – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 1970
This article attempts to justify the surface presence of English split infinitives in terms of the deep structure of the language posited by current transformation theory." (FWB)

Lakoff, George – 1965
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…

This reference text of Tagalog grammar provides extensive description with illustrative examples of the language. Language classification and grammatical analysis are predicated on principles of transformational generative grammar. Seven categories of materials include: (1) pronunciation, (2) basic sentence structure, (3) nominals and their…

Legum, Stanley E. – 1972
Arguments for the introduction of an adverbial node label (ADV) in transformational grammar are examined and rejected. The following question is raised: Is a node label ADV necessary, or can the phenomena associated with adverbials be explained in terms of the set of node labels used to explain other areas of grammar? The author argues that a new…

Legum, Stanley E. – 1972
The class of English words traditionally called adverbs is examined and redefined in this paper. The following three subclasses of adverbs are identified: limiters, which are words that modify noun phrases; intensifiers, which are words that modify adjectives; and "true" adverbs, which modify verb phrases and sentences. Examples of these…

Pasicki, Adam – Studia Anglica Posnaniensia, 1972

Zabrocki, Tadeusz – Studia Anglica Posnaniensia, 1973
A deep structure underlying sentences with modal adverbs and verbs in English is discussed. Semantic and syntactic similarities are pointed out in support of a suggestion that both surface structures have a common deep structure source. Possible ways of dealing with modality in a generative grammar are presented. (Available from: See FL 508 214.)…

Tanaka, Shichiro – 1976
To express that a degree of one event is conditioned by (or paralleled by) a degree of another, the "the...the..." construction with a comparative after each "the" is used. Examples include sentences such as: (1) the more dangerous mountains are to climb, the more challenging they are; (2) the more often a man has been in…
