Kiparsky's "elsewhere condition" and the universal principle of Proper Inclusion Precedence in a theory of anti-extrinsic ordering are found inadequate for the application of the subrules of a mirror-image rule. An extension of the formulation of PIP incorporates explicit reference to mirror-image rules. (Author/RM)

Homophony refers to sameness in sound but not in meaning. (DD)

Evidence is presented that the Sentential Subject Constraint presented by Ross in "Constraints on Variables in Syntax" is a global constraint which makes reference to surface structure and to earlier stages of a derivation. (SC)

Kuno's direct discourse analysis is examined and rejected, and the Prague School concepts of theme and rheme are shown to be relevant to Kuno's data and additional data. It is further shown that an incompatible application of two or more transformations produces sentences that tend to be bad. (SC)

A comment on the considerations William Watt must deal with in order to establish his belief that transformational grammar and psychology are at odds in their rules for theory building. (SC)

Argues that verbal prefixes in Hungarian should not be assigned to a specific category of their own, but should be analyzed as belonging to the category of postpositions. (Author/AM)

The analysis predicts the distribution of cleft-like sentence types whose introducing particle is "this" or "that" rather than "it," and asserts a correlation between judgements of grammaticality of pseudo clefts and sentences containing free relatives. (Author/NCR)

Proposes an alternative to transformational grammars, based on the notion that a grammatical system should be open to psycholinguistic interpretation, and disallowing grammatical transformations, dealing instead with the information content of sentence surface structure. (Author/AM)

This article argues that morphosemantic sets are a consequence of general properties of language structure. Thus the sets serve as a framework for advancing the study of motivation as a functional feature of language use. (Author/NCR)

Syntactic rules with structural descriptions which apply on several linguistic levels are called global derivational constraints. (DD)

This article hypothesizes that causative constructions among the languages of the world share some fundamental characteristics, even though they have different ordering restrictions and varying degrees of fusion. (Author/NCR)
