An annotated bibliography traces Chomsky's thought from 1951 through 1975. An attempt was made to include all of Chomsky's linguistic publications in English during that period. His political writings, except those concerning both politics and linguistics, were excluded. Listings are chronological by year. Titles are alphabetical within each year.…

Discusses the principles of linguistic deviance in terms of five sets of rules and their corresponding linguistic or para-linguistic parameters. This theoretical framework relates assimilation, grammatical, lexical, referential, and reality rules to the parameters of acceptability, grammaticality, factuality, validity, and truth respectively. (EJS)

Describes transformational grammar and contends that it is more efficient for teaching rhetoric than traditional grammar. (DD)

An examination of the predicates "optional" and "obligatory" is made that suggests that they are far more appropriately viewed as derived rather than primitive notions, whose appropriate attributions follow in all cases from independent linguistic facts and principles of a much more general and more generally significant character. (Author/HP)

Shows that a phonological description that recognizes the functional variety of phonological rules is more illuminating than one in which data are handled merely as the output of a set of completely undifferentiated processes. Emphasizes the value of distinguishing motivated and unmotivated processes in phonology. (Author/RM)

Through a dialog argues that transformational grammar should not be used as the linguistic description in university courses in applied linguistics because it has no particular validity as a pedagogical grammar, because it has a narrow view of the nature of language, and because it is theoretically inadequate.(SED)

Revised and expanded version of a paper presented at the Colloquium of the reasearch Institue for the German Language, Marburg, West Germany, June 16, 1972. (DD)

Nomina actionis'' may be defined as a substantive derived from a verb and denoting action. (RS)

Discusses certain unknown constraints" active in the use of specific quantifiers in English. (VM)

Discusses and illustrates three rule sets suitable for presenting generative grammar to beginners; and appendix to the author's article with the same title in the February 1970 (No. 13) issue, pp. 39-53; see TE 200 767. (Editor/SW)

Reviews the development of generative theory, points out the limitations of present generative grammar for the teaching of English and expresses the view that it will be of greater value in the future when certain further theoretical developments have taken place. (FB)

This paper introduces the Government-Binding Theory of grammar and offers examples of the theory's use in areas of language development, child language disorders, and adult aphasia. Discussed are the levels of representation of Universal Grammar, subtheories that constrain the representations at each level, parameter setting, core grammar, and…

Discussion of methodologies for the semantic integration of databases focuses on formalizing the notion of schema equivalence and the schema integration process. Topics include common data model; the Entity-Relationship (ER)model; transformation of ER models; transformational, mapping, and behavioral schema equivalence; and knowledge-based…
