Peer reviewedMaxwell, Madeline M. – Sign Language Studies, 1983
Chafe's theory of generative semantics, which uses spoken language for illustration, can be applied to American Sign Language in two ways: to combat the erroneous assumption that sign languages simply represent spoken language in visible form and to explain various parts of the grammar of American Sign Language.

Peer reviewedBrakel, C. Arthur – Linguistics, 1976
The purpose of this paper is to examine process- and agent-oriented sentences from the point of view of two theories of grammatical description: case grammar after Fillmore and tranformational grammar with modifications introduced by Chomsky. Subject and object functions are reflected in the initial structures of sentence derivation, regardless of…

Peer reviewedBergen, John J. – Language Sciences, 1977

The systemic and nonsystemic functions of Spanish count and measure entity nouns are elaborated and analyzed. (CHK)

(CHK)

Peer reviewedRussell, William M. – Linguistics, 1975
The linguist does not usually describe grammatical structures of stylized sentences because there are none well-formed on the surface. He could use rules for organizational and relational features of the grammar which affect the last lines of generation to produce deviant but acceptable linguistic forms, thereby increasing the predictive power of…
