Contradicts the single subjunctive theory of Dwight Bolinger and supports Samuel Gili Y Gaya in recognizing the subjunctive as more than one syntactic phenomenon. (CK)

Based on a lecture given in Charles Fillmore's syntax class at the 1970 Linguistic Society of America Summer Linguistic Institute at Ohio State University. (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)

Proposes that NPs determined by the generic indefinite article represent abstract concepts and as such are not inherently different from indefinite NPs appearing in copulative predicates. (Author/RM)

A number of syntactic constructions claimed by linguists to be restricted to main clauses are shown to occur in a variety of subordinate clause types. It is shown that an adequate solution will involve a complex interaction of syntactic, semantic and pragmatic factors. (Author/RM)

Attempts to solve, by means of examples, some of the current problems in predicate raising (PR) in the theory of generative semantics. (Text is in German.) (DS)

This paper presents two types of Spanish sentences and contradicts theories which relate the two with identical deep structures. Criteria presented appear to show the two differ in deep structure and are related lexically rather than transformationally. (CK)

Describes the surface structure of German adverbs proceeding from the standpoint of dependence-valence grammar. On the basis of their meaning, adverbs are classified as modal, temporal and locational. (Text is in German.) (IFS/WGA)

Evidence is presented that the Sentential Subject Constraint presented by Ross in "Constraints on Variables in Syntax" is a global constraint which makes reference to surface structure and to earlier stages of a derivation. (SC)

A putatively-universal, deep-semantic and -syntactic representation of motion and location is presented. The most characteristic patterns for deriving this representation to the surface in English on the one hand and in Atsugewi (a Hokan Indian language) on the other are then presented and compared. (Author)

Surveys trends in linguistic thought over the past 50 years, with particular reference to structuralism and generative grammar. (AM)

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