A word combination can have a grammatical function differing from that of the individual words which compose it. This increases the flexibility of lexical material and suggests a new approach to the classification of items in a lexicon. Examples are drawn mostly from German. (TL)

Reports on preliminary attempts to find a set of non-linguistic categories in minimally verbal infants. A methodology suitable for the presentation of semantically-defined concepts (agent and recipient) was developed. (Author/ED)

Information science has in recent years developed an algorithmic procedure for content analysis of abstracts which includes setting up a metalanguage for a particular field of knowledge. Such a procedure may aid in solving problems of automatic text analysis in machine translation. (TL)

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)

Summarizes author's work in developing a transformational-generative grammar which can account for concurrent production of two or several languages. (DH)

This paper explains why certain prepositions, adverbs and conjunctions in Spanish are sometimes written as separate words and sometimes combined as one. (Text is in Spanish.) (CK)

Argues that Mandarin co-verbs are best viewed as prepositions which are still in the process of changing from earlier verbs. Arguments include the fact that co-verbs have prepositional meanings and that sentences containing co-verbs are not two-clause sentences. (Author/RM)

Differences in meaning and usage of the two closely related Russian adverbs "daleko" and "dalyoko" are explored through examination of short literary texts. (Text is in Russian.) (DH)

This article uses the example of aphasia to discuss to what extent and under what constraints neuropsychiatry borrows from linguistics. It is affirmed that genetic and functional, rather than static, structuralism is a useful tool for neuropsychiatry and that language functions can be seen to correspond to cerebral functions. (Text is in French.)…

The central purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that inalienable possession (IP) in Romance languages hinges more on inferences than is commonly assumed. Most of the analysis concerns Spanish because that language provides the best evidence of how IP is non-grammatical in the sense that it is free of morpho-syntactic constraints. French and…

As a result of the Experiential Education Evaluation Project the publication identifies instruments used to measure and assess experiential learning programs. The following information is given for each instrument: rationale for its inclusion in the study; precise issues or outcomes designed to measure, validity and reliability data; and…
