Roos, Eckhard – 1978
Contrastive analysis can help solve certain problems in translation, for example, that of idioms. A contrastive analysis of source language (SL) and target language (TL) might have as its theoretical framework a contrastive lexical analysis based on generative semantics. In this approach both SL and TL idioms are broken down into their semantic…

Bever, Thomas G. – 1968
From an outline of the recent history of the psychology of language the author proceeds to discuss research that has been done recently in psycholinguistics. These studies fall within the following areas: (1) "The Study of Grammar as a Psychological Process," (2) "How We Remember Sentences," (3) "What We Do When We…

Zgusta, Ladislav – 1975
There are various types of dictionaries, depending on the goals for which a dictionary is compiled. The main intention of a bilingual dictionary is to indicate the semantic equivalence of the lexical items of two languages. Bilingual dictionaries are used primarily for two purposes: a speaker of the target language uses the dictionary in order to…

Whitman, Randal L. – 1975
This book had two goals: to provide an introduction to transformational-generative grammar, placing it into a historical and philosophical context with other earlier linguistic traditions, and to provide a survey of the elements of English grammar from a transformational point of view. The text is intended for anyone who wishes to know the basis…

Hutchinson, Sandra Pinkerton – 1974
The effects of syllable timing and syllable sequence type on vowel sandhi in Spanish are investigated in this paper. It is argued that structuralist and generative treatments of vowel sandhi, which are characterized by generalizations about vowel "shortening" and dropping and glide formation, are inadequate because they focus exclusively…

Fasold, Ralph William August – 1969
The present study, a slightly revised version of the author's 1968 Ph.D. thesis presented to the University of Chicago, investigates compound formation in Thai. Chapter 1 summarizes the transformational generative theory on which the study is based, discusses the concept that Thai is a "simple" language in comparison with English, and briefly…

Nguyen, Dang Liem – 1966
This is the first volume of a contrastive analysis of English and Vietnamese in the light of a combined tagmemic and transformational approach.

A general introduction gives the history of…

Allen, J. P. B., Ed.; Van Buren, Paul, Ed. – 1971
The aim of this collection of Noam Chomsky's writings over the past 12 years is to present the main outlines of transformational theory, using as far as possible Chomsky's own words, but arranged in such a way that a non-specialist will have no difficulty in following the text. The topics covered include syntax, phonology, semantics, and language…

Stevens, Claire E. – 1966
After outlining the structural linguistic approach to form classes in general and Spanish nouns and adjectives in particular, the author concludes that "nouns and adjectives in Spanish cannot be characterized in any satisfactory fashion by their occurrence in morphological or syntactic frames." The grammatical framework used for this study is "the…

Lackstrom, John Edwin – 1967
The object of this study is to treat pronominalization in Spanish within the framework of generative grammar. (The non-hypenated word "pronoun" refers to the traditional class of words including alguien, algo, el, or ella. The hypenated form, "pro-noun," refers to the underlying lexical entries or feature complexes which share the features [+pro,…

Friedman, Joyce – 1968
A comprehensive system for transformational grammar has been designed and is being implemented on the IBM 360/67 computer. The system deals with the transformational model of syntax, along the lines of Chomsky's "Aspects of the Theory of Syntax." The major innovations include a full and formal description of the syntax of a transformational…

Starosta, Stanley – 1973
This research is the result of 10 weeks of field work in Taiwan during the summer of 1972. It consists of a description, analysis, and comparison of the morphologically marked causative verbs in Rukai, Bunun, Tsou, Anis, Seedig, and Saisiyat. The theoretical framework employed is a type of case grammar referred to as "lexicase," a…

Moody, Raymond – Hawaii Foreign Language Teacher, 1972
An innovative approach to facilitate student mastery of Spanish linguistic structures requiring manipulation of the direct object is described in this article. The method, derived originally from William Bull's "Spanish for Teachers," also enables students to apply the transformational method to sentences containing nominalized adjectives,…

LOFLIN, MARVIN D. – 1966
AMBIGUOUS SENTENCES WITH "BE" IN THE NONSTANDARD SPEECH OF NEGROES ARE DISCUSSED. THE AUTHOR HYPOTHESIZES THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN THE UNDERLYING SEMANTIC STRUCTURE (DEEP STRUCTURE) BETWEEN NONSTANDARD NEGRO SPEECH AND OTHER DIALECTS OF ENGLISH, AND THAT A "HABITUATIVE" CATEGORY MUST BE POSTULATED TO REMOVE STRUCTURAL…

Nilsen, Don L.F. – 1976
The notions of recursiveness and deletion are discussed in the context of Chomsky's presentations of transformational grammar in "Syntactic Structures" and in the later work, "Aspects of the Theory of Syntax." After consideration of word-recursion, coordinate-clause recursion, and subordinate-clause recursion, extensions to…
