Lewis, M. Blanche – 1969
The author suggest that this book, written primarily as a working textbook for second-year university students reading Malay, may also be used by those "interested in the application of a formal grammatical framework to the sentences of a language which belongs to the Austronesian family." Basing her analysis on the principles of structural…

Bolinger, Dwight L. – 1961
Three examples are given of cases where differences between Spanish and English syntax and intonation patterns are taught best through direct translation. Grammatical difficulties caused by "gustar" are overcome through the use of translation using "appeal" rather than "please". Similarly, problems for native speakers of English arising with…

Harries, Helga – 1973
The purpose of this paper is to investigate how languages express contrastive emphasis. It is argued that all contrastively emphasized constructions have underlying cleft sentences, independent of whether the surface structure is an equational or a nonequational one. It is furthermore argued that emphatic word orders are systematic and predictable…

Brew, P. J. – Occasional Papers, 1970
This paper examines the relationship that exists between the syntactic and phonological components of the transformational-generative model insofar as their formal structures are concerned. It is demonstrated that the number and importance of the structural similarities between the syntax and the phonology make it necessary to provide for them in…

Oregon Univ., Eugene. Oregon Elementary English Project. – 1971
Developed by the Oregon Elementary English Project, this curriculum unit introduces fifth and sixth graders to sentence structure. Based on transformational grammar, the unit (1) demonstrates to students their built-in knowledge of English grammar which enables them to produce and recognize sentences although they are not consciously aware of…

Szamosi, Michael – 1972
This second volume of a three-part language research report presents a sketch of Hungarian syntax with emphasis on several particular aspects of grammar.

Rohrman, Nicholas L. – 1972
Current transformational linguistic theory holds that there are two levels of sentence structure, derived constituent or surface structure and underlying or deep structure. Both have been proposed as the memory representation of sentences, but recent evidence suggests that the latter is the more likely. However, two recent studies have directly…

Palmatier, Robert A. – 1972
The terminology used in English transformational grammar is compiled in this glossary. The glossary catalogs, defines, classifies, documents, and cross-references technical terms from 72 major works published from 1956 to 1969. The selection of terms is based on their technical nature in relation to the theory of transformational grammar or to the…

Delis, Dean; Slater, Anne Saxon – Cognition, 1977
The theory that reduction transformations provide speakers with the option of deleting redundant information when communicating to a topic-cognizant audience is supported. In the experiment, college physiology students were provided with deep structure proximal sentences (base propositions), and asked to communicate them to different audiences,…
