Bell, Alan – 1971
Distinction is made between nonsignificant (i.e. definitional or accidental) and significant universals. Two approaches to discovering the significance of universals are characterized and evaluated: the process-state approach, which aims at "transmission-significant" universals, and the transformationalist approach, which seeks for…

Mulder, Jan W. F. – Linguistique, 1975
This article discusses various approaches to linguistics, the basic distinction being that between the scientific descriptive and the introspective speculative approach. The latter is excluded as not part of true fundamental linguistics. A discussion follows on the concept of linguistic theory and description as pertaining to the functionalist…

Herschensohn, Julia – 1975
The Lexicalist-interpretive approach to inalienable possession adopted in this paper proposes that body parts are generated with either the article (the unmarked determiner) or the possessive adjective (the marked determiner). The unmarked body part is codesignate with the indirect object; in the case of pseudo-transitives--a clearly delimited…

Gester, Friedrich Wilhelm – Praxis des neusprachlichen Unterrichts, 1976
It is maintained that transformationalism has not led to firm results in language description which can be regarded as going substantially beyond those of traditional scientific grammar. However, it is recommended that teacher training should include course in transformational and communicative grammar. (Text is in German.) (IFS/WGA)

Hendriksen, Dan – 1970
It is important that we reflect on the conceptual framework from which our study of language has emerged, since the problems, methods, and aims of what has been called modern linguistics are rapidly being replaced by the concerns of another framework or paradigm. Such new paradigms, to be viable, must not be distorted by starting points that…

Glaap, Albert-Reiner – Neueren Sprachen, 1972
A proposal for grammatical pluralism and view of the potential contributions of the descriptive, contrastive, and transformational schools of grammar analysis to classroom language instruction. (RS)

Bearth, Thomas – 1971
The spoken language of Toura, a language spoken by nearly 20,000 inhabitants of a mountainous region situated in the north of Man, the administrative center of the West Ivory Coast, is systematically analyzed in this linguistic study. Sixteen major chapters include: (1) grammatical generalizations, (2) phonemic unities, (3) classification of…

Garvin, Paul L. – 1974
This paper represents introductory class material on linguistics. A definition of "linguistics" is attempted through a definition of "science" and "language." The American structuralist conception of linguistics as a science is characterized by the view that linguistics is the application of the inductive methods to the collection and analysis of…

MARCKWARDT, ALBERT H. – 1963
TO DISPEL THE MYSTERIES SURROUNDING LINGUISTICS, ENGLISH TEACHERS SHOULD UNDERSTAND CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE LANGUAGE AS THEY ARE PERCEIVED BY THE LINGUIST. THE LINGUIST SEES LANGUAGE AS "A SYSTEM OF PATTERNED VOCAL BEHAVIOR BY MEANS OF WHICH MEN COOPERATE IN SOCIETY." BY USING RIGOROUS SCIENTIFIC METHODS, HE STUDIES REPRESENTATIVE AND AUTHENTIC…

Ebbs, John D. – 1968
After briefly reviewing the present state of linguistic research, this project concluded that both recent developments in research and increasing educational demands upon all children indicate a need for increased attention to the language education of elementary teachers, especially a broader orientation in language training. Following a…

Chomsky, Noam – College English, 1966
Two traditions are distinguishable in modern linguistic theory: the tradition of "universal grammar" which flourished in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the tradition of structural or descriptive linguistics which reached its peak 15 or 20 years ago. Universal grammar was concerned with (1) the relation of deep structure to surface forms and to…

Feider, Helga – 1969
To determine the principal differences in syntactic structure between spoken and written American English, a corpus of the spoken (800 sentences) and written (280 sentences) utterances of six graduate students was described in terms of a transformational generative grammar. These utterances were used as a basis for a two-part grammar: (1) a source…
