Carlson, Greg N. – Language, 1977
It is argued here that English contains a distinct class of relative clauses called amount relatives. On the surface, these are much like restrictive relative clauses, but they have a syntax and semantics that align them more with comparatives than with restrictive relatives. (Author/KM)

Thalji, Abdel-Majid I. – Al-Arabiyya, 1986

Traces the historical changes of the verb "like" and shows how the verb's role in Modern English has a greater influence in syntax as opposed to semantics. This change in the verb's function has led to the formation of a new lexical subcategorization frame, or redefinition of the verb. (TR)

Singer, Murray – Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 1976
Reports on four experiments designed to compare the accuracy of the listener's memory for information associated with the thematic and nonthematic portions of sentences. Results are consistent with the identification of the nonthematic portion of a sentence as the locus of new ideas conveyed to the language recipient. (CLK)

Alidou, Ousseina – Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics, 1995
McCarthy and Prince (1986, 1990) have put forward the prosodic Morphology Hypothesis to account for morphological processes, such as reduplication and truncation, that typically require that their output conform to a particular shape of template. This hypothesis claims that morphological templates are analyzable in terms of prosodic units. This…
