Peer reviewedKrzeszowski, Tomasz P. – Studia Anglica Posnaniensia, 1973
The necessity is asserted for constructing a theory of contrastive analysis which would incorporate both translation equivalence and "form and placement of the rules in grammar" as criteria for making decisions concerning comparability. (Available from: See FL 508 214). (Author/RM)

Jacobs, Roderick A. – TESOL Quart, 1969
"Deletion is posited as a universal process in language, and "identity and "indefiniteness are suggested as universal conditions under which deletion takes place. Usefulness of exploiting language similarities in language teaching is stressed. This paper was presented at the TESOL Convention, Chicago, March 1969. (FWB)

Peer reviewedGussmann, Edmund – Studia Anglica Posnaniensia, 1973
It is asserted that the treatment of intonation within the framework of generative grammar has not shown whether surface syntactic structure is sufficient for formulation of phonological rules. An attempt is made to demonstrate that within English phonology reference to deep structure is necessary. (Available from: See FL 508 214). (RM)

Download full textTalmy, Leonard – 1973
An analytic sketch of motion/location in more primitive spatio-temporal terms is presented. The earlier account (ED 096 825), showing various languages' most characteristic pattern for deriving a putatively-universal underlying representation of motion and location, is continued. The English pattern is characterized further (amplified by data from…

Chafe, Wallace L. – 1970
This book offers a theory of language which departs from both structuralist and Chomskyan transformational linguistics in using semantic structure as its base. The theory is illustrated mostly from English by means of a step-by-step analysis of a large part of English semantic structure. A specific and detailed theory of language is thus…

Farwell, Carol – 1972
Papers dealing with syntactic evidence in various languages for a higher performative sentence containing information about speaker, addressee and the speech act involved are reviewed and discussed. Arguments for this analysis have the form of showing that overt sentences behave in some way as if they were subordinate to a higher sentence…
