Twenty-eight schizophrenics (14 paranoid and 14 nonparanoid) were compared with 14 normals on their judgments of similarity among words. The judgments were analyzed using an individual-differences multidimensional scaling procedure. (Editor)

Examines German idiomatic predicate constructions in various aspects; finds that these constructions do not form a homogeneous class, either as to form or as to syntax. Numerous examples, taken from dictionaries and other sources, are used. (Text is in German.) (IFS/WGA)

A set of rules is given generating those temporal clauses in English whose sources are sentences embedded in the adverbial position by means of relativization. See FL 508 197 for availability. (Author/RM)

It is asserted that the treatment of intonation within the framework of generative grammar has not shown whether surface syntactic structure is sufficient for formulation of phonological rules. An attempt is made to demonstrate that within English phonology reference to deep structure is necessary. (Available from: See FL 508 214). (RM)

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.)…

This article is a study examining the relationship between the Salish and Nez Perce languages, including a syntactic, semantic and phonological comparison. A historical and social background is also included. (CLK)

This article discusses the lexical suffixes of Bella Coola, a native language of British Columbia. Evidence of a syntactic nature is presented to support the classification of the suffixes into 4 groups: anatomical, nonanatomical, metonymic, and classifier. (CLK)

The results indicated a significant change ina positive direction as predicted. These results are discussed in terms of Weinberg's theory of homophobia. (Author)

Defines the difference between lexical and propositive nomination, and examines their interrelation. Clarification of syntactic problems allowed for by distinguishing nominative and communicative aspects of a sentence is discussed, and the relationship of semantic syntax to traditional syntactic theory is also discussed.

The Chinese numerical system and its contrastive aspects with the English system are discussed, as well as some implications of the numerical system in the spoken language. (RM)

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)
