Contradicts a theory of determining the presuppositions and assertions of complex sentences. (CK)

Discusses the applicability of "fuzzy sets" to explicating the notion of "vagueness." (Author/HP)

Discusses three different patterns of restrictive and non-restrictive prepositional relative clauses--their functions, variations and permitted uses. (CK)

The effect of presuppositions on the applicability of grammatical rules is discussed. It is argued that the speaker's presupposition may cause a grammatical rule to become optional. (RM)

The components of a dependency grammar are described, and some procedures for automatic sentence analysis are given. (HP)

Some psycholinguistic interpretations of the Japanese language are made, with reference to the relationships between sentence structure and cognition. Features of the language indicating a strong interdependency between linguistic expression and behavioral practice are examined. (Author/RM)

A word combination can have a grammatical function differing from that of the individual words which compose it. This increases the flexibility of lexical material and suggests a new approach to the classification of items in a lexicon. Examples are drawn mostly from German. (TL)

Examines structural properties of Romanian participle types in order to explain their descriptive relationship to the infinitive. (RM)

Sentences containing "estar" + participle are analyzed in order to highlight their semantic characteristics. (RM)

The article begins with a historical background of systemic generative grammar and continues with an analysis of it on a syntactic level. The topics examined are: grammatical output, functions and properties, form, embedding and discontinuity, coordinate constructions, immediate constituents, the lexicon, phonology and morphology, and semantics.…

An analysis of sentence grammar is made to show that the ability to produce coherent texts emerges slowly and late in linguistic and cognitive development. (HP)

Defines the difference between lexical and propositive nomination, and examines their interrelation. Clarification of syntactic problems allowed for by distinguishing nominative and communicative aspects of a sentence is discussed, and the relationship of semantic syntax to traditional syntactic theory is also discussed.
