Two experiments study the effects of structure and content variables on memory and comprehension of prose passages.

Prideaux, Gary D. – Journal of Child Language, 1976
This article criticizes a previous paper that stressed a transformational analysis of children's question acquisition. It is argued that a surface structure generalization analysis makes empirically correct predictions about mistakes both in acquisition of inverted word order and in the form of "wh" questions. (CHK)

Gester, Friedrich Wilhelm – Praxis des neusprachlichen Unterrichts, 1976
It is maintained that transformationalism has not led to firm results in language description which can be regarded as going substantially beyond those of traditional scientific grammar. However, it is recommended that teacher training should include course in transformational and communicative grammar. (Text is in German.) (IFS/WGA)

Pienemann, Manfred; Johnston, Malcolm – Second Language Research, 1996
Replies to Mellow's (1996) criticism of the authors' second language acquisition model.

The article also addresses several points of detail in…

Langacker, Ronald W.; Munro, Pamela – Language, 1975
An underlying representation for passive sentences in Mojave and Uto-Aztecan is proposed, and the broader issues that arise in extending the analysis to other languages and incorporating it in linguistic theory as a substantive language universal are explored. (Author/RM)

Layton, Pamela; Simpson, Adrian J. – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1975
Subjects read sets of active or passive sentences, and an active or passive question was asked about one. Errors were compared. Results suggest that surface form of a single sentence is retained; surface and deep structures are retained for two, and only deep structures of four and eight sentences. (CHK)

Cofer, Thomas M. – Linguistics, 1975
A data-based study done in Philadelphia examined the constraints on relative pronoun deletion and looked for a possible correlation to social stratification or stylistic variation. Restrictive relative clauses only are examined. Constraints appear to be due to performance factors related to sentence processing. (SCC)

Henry, Paul – Langages, 1975
Contrasts classical grammar, which concerned itself with the causal relationships of thought, universal order, and language, with modern linguistics, which tends to entirely absorb the matter of discourse. (Text is in French.) (Author/MSE)

Harlow, Steve – 1986
Since its inception, proponents of Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar (GPSG) have claimed the superiority of the analyses that the theory makes available for certain problematic constructions in English. Two examples of such constructions are (1) rightward unbounded dependencies (including right node raising) and (2) parasitic gaps. However, as…
