Polzella, Donald J.; Rohrman, Nicholas L. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1970
The experiments reported here confirmed the findings of earlier researchers that transitive verbs are more difficult to recall than intransitive ones and furthermore established a close relationship between transitive verbs and nouns. Implications for linguistic theory are discussed. (FB)

Lyons, John – 1970
This book is designed to make the thought of Noam Chomsky, a scholar whose work has been influential not only in the field of linguistics but in psychology, philosophy, and political science as well, accessible to a wider public than is reached by Chomsky's highly technical writing. The author expresses the hope that this book will provide the…

Whitaker, Harry A. – 1970
This paper uses a discussion of experiments with aphasics' use of verbally derived nouns to illustrate how one linguistic model may be superior to another in accounting for the facts of verbal behavior. The models involved are the transformational, which relates derived nominals to their source verb and lists only the verb in the lexicon, and the…

Titone, Renzo – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 1970
The psycholinguistic experiments reported here lead the author to the conclusion that there is a definite interdependence between semantic values and syntactic functions in the construction of sentences and that a satisfactory interpretation of syntactic encoding demands a consideration of the personality structure of the individual speaker.…

Ney, James W. – Language Sciences, 1979
Examines the claim that transformational rules are psychologically real, and applies this claim to all aspects of transformational grammar. (AM)

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…

Ruhl, Charles – Language Sciences, 1973
Original version of this paper was read at the Fifth Meeting of the Southeastern Conference on Linguistics, University of Maryland, May 1971. Argues that accounting for coherence in discourse should be one of the goals of linguistic theory; making coherent discourse, not the isolated sentence, the domain of linguistic explanation also throws…

Cowan, J.L. – 1968
The author endeavors to penetrate the "mists o f mentalistic myth" which enshroud the "very real, solid, and substantial results of generative or transformational linguistics." In attempting to clarify and clear up misunderstandings about theories of grammar as put forth by Chomsky (whose practice, the author feels, is "superior to his description…

Morton, John – 1968
The author has developed a functional model for some aspects of language behavior which attempts to link a number of experimental findings within a relatively simple framework. In this paper the author sets out to "axiomatise some features of the model" (which had its origins in an attempt to account for a range of phenomena concerned…

Von Raffler Engel, Walburga – 1968
In the current debate about the development of language in children, the author agrees with those psycholinguists who emphasize the role of "imitation followed by analogical extension." That is to say, that if there are inborn discovery procedures for the acquisition of language, they are distributional rather than transformational in nature. On…

Salter, David – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 1976
Tested a hypothesized relationship between rules of sentence transformation and preresponse processing time in a short-term memory and transformation task. Data showed that the amount of processing required by different grammatical transformations does not relate to the theoretical derivation. Available from Plenum Publishing Corp., 227 W. 17th…

Howe, Edmund S. – J Verb Learning Verb Behav, 1970
The analysis of errors made in free recall tests involving sentences under different transformation conditions indicates that syntactic and semantic errors may not be wholly independent of each other. (FB)
