Smith, Donald L. – Glossa, 1975
This paper investigates the referential constraints on possible overt experiencer phrases as compared to those on implied experiencers with the omission of the experiencer phrase. The inherent meanings of psych-movement verbals as well as tense and complementizer type are argued to be relevant factors in the statement of those constraints.…

Rosemblat, Graciela – Georgetown Journal of Languages and Linguistics, 1990
Discusses the complement and predicate (or adjunct) short clauses (SCs) in active transitive verb structures. Published Spanish literature is reviewed and evaluated, Spanish SC surface structure (SS) is described, an argument is presented against SS restructuring in Spanish, and analyses of several hypotheses are provided. (GLR)

Babcock, Sandra Scharff – 1967
This paper is concerned with the grammar of cognate constructions, which are defined as those in which the object and verb have the same meaning ("I drank a drink of water"). In the transformational process of dissimilation the verb is replaced by "have" or "do," so that verb and object are less alike. The model used…

Nakada, Seiichi – Journal of the Association of Teachers of Japanese, 1976
This paper formulates a semantic distinction between predicates in Japanese which take indirect questions and those which cannot, and advances a hypothesis that the former crucially involve in their semantics the absence, acquisition, presence, and loss of information relevant in certain ways.

Rugaleva, Anelja – Language Sciences, 1977
Nominalization of possessive sentences in Russian is discussed. It is maintained that all lexical surface items originate as terms in a situation model, and that their actualization as different parts of speech is language-specific. Language data are used to support a locative interpretation of the semantic model. (CHK)

Franco, Fabiola; Steinmetz, Donald – Hispania, 1986
Expands and develops the theory of "ser" and "estar" with predicate adjectives which was first presented in "Hispania" in May 1983. This theory holds that the selection of "ser" or "estar" in constructions with predicate adjectives expresses different types of implied comparisons. (SED)

Wenck, G. – Linguistics, 1973
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.

Miller, J. – Acta Linguistica Hafniensia, 1974
An explanation is offered of aspect in imperative verb forms and in certain infinitive verb forms in Russian. Three presuppositions or conditions of appropriateness are postulated and their correlation to the aspect of an imperative or infinitive form discussed. (RM)
