Allerton, D. J. – Journal of Linguistics, 1975
In language use, redundant linguistic items are reduced in size, replaced with a proform or left out. This paper examines the nature of the processes involved and the conditions under which they operate. (CHK)

McCord, Michael C. – Journal of Linguistics, 1975
This paper concerns the theory of systemic grammar developed by Halliday, Hudson and others. It suggests modifications of Hudson's generative version, and the model presented resembles transformational grammar. (CHK)

An introduction to transformational generative grammar including recommendations of textbooks for those interested in the subject. (SW)

Sketches Noam Chomsky's conception of language, the ways it can and should be studied, and how it works as a scientific enterprise. (Author/GT)

Yang, In-Seok – 1972
This generative grammar of Korean analyzes the syntactic aspects of case markers, delimiters, complementation, and relativization. C. J. Fillmore's case grammar is adopted as the overall framework. Case markers and delimiters are seen to interact in two ways: one is obligatory deletion of the nominative and accusative markers before any delimiter,…

Langacker, Ronald W. – Language, 1974
This paper offers a functional explanation for the existence and for the special properties of movement rules in natural languages. The hypothesis is advanced that raising, lowering, and fronting rules all serve the function of increasing the prominence of objective content in surface structure. (CK)

Hammer, Katherine – 1973
Two approaches to the problem of determining the illocutionary force(s) of a sentence are examined: Gordon and Lakoff's (1971) "Conversational Postulates," and Fraser's (1973) "On Accounting for Illocutionary Forces"; their relation to Searle's conditions is discussed. It is argued that Gordon and Lakoff's analysis can be…

Foster, David William – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 1977
Describes a study using transformational generative grammar to demonstrate that the frequently used structure "verb a verb" in Spanish is to be interpreted in three ways. Conclusions are drawn for the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language. (AMH)

White, Lydia – 1977
In early transformational generative grammar, it was assumed that all semantic interpretation would be done off deep structure, but with the proposals for the extended standard theory (EST) of Chomsky (1968, 1972) came the realization that certain aspects of semantic interpretation, such as focus and presuppostion and scope of quantifiers, must be…

Willbrand, Mary Louise – 1973
This paper reports on a study conducted to determine the abilities of children to make optional transformations in sentences conjoined with "and." The subjects were 35 middle-class children between the ages of five and eight, who demonstrated average school achievement, spoke standard American English, and had normal speech and hearing. A…

Kravif, Diane – Linguistics, 1973
Revised version of a paper supported by a National Science Foundation graduate fellowship. The universal base hypothesis states that all natural languages utilize the same base component in their transformational grammars. (DD)

Noss, R. B. – Language Sciences, 1972
Paper presented before the linguistic section of The Siam Society on May 12, 1971. Stresses the need for grammar theories which do not prevent linguists from identifying unusual syntactic structures in the less-studied languages of the world. (VM)
