Instruments as agents: On the nature of semantic relations
There is a widespread current assumption that the semantic relations underlying linguistic constructions reflect the way human beings ineluctably, and hence universally, perceive events and situations. This assumption will be questioned in this paper. To make the point, a linguistic construction purportedly expressing the instrumental case will be examined. It will be convenient here to juxtapose my treatment of this construction with the one pro…

Sign Language of the Deaf: Psychological, Linguistic, and Sociological Perspectives
SLD is a collection of expressly solicited articles. It contains four sections: 'Phylogeny and ontogeny', 'Linguistic aspects', 'Psychological, sociological, and educational aspects', and 'Methodological problems'. It thus sweeps over a broad range of topics, and is not an in-depth study of any one area. The various articles are intended for quite different audiences, and this contributes to the lack of focus in the book as a whole. This review w…

Cognitive structures and semantic deep structures: The case of the instrumental
Many linguists describe the underlying structure of sentences in terms of cases (e.g. Fillmore, 1968) or relations between the verb and nouns (Chafe, 1970), the, usually tacit, assumption being that this reflects the way we view the world. The underlying linguistic structure would accordingly be a formalization of cognitive structure. Elsewhere (Schlesinger, 1977: Ch. 5 ), I have argued that a distinction has to be made between cognitive structur…
The role of cognitive development and linguistic input in language acquisition
Recent years have witnessed a cognitivist reaction against previous views of language learning. It had been held that mere exposure to language is a sufficient condition for language acquisition, whether by hypothesis testing (Katz 1966) or through passive learning (Braine 1971). Symptomatic of this approach were experiments investigating the learning of grammar in which subjects were taught artificial miniature languages without meaning, either …

Acquisition of Grammar: What and How Should We Investigate
Recently much of the effort of child-language investigators has been invested in writing child grammars. It is argued that there is much diversity between children and that too much leeway is left in formalizing the grammar of even a single child. As a consequence, writing a child grammar is fruitless, unless it is part of a developmental theory of child language. A methodological implication of such an approach is identified. The final part of t…
A Facet Design for Tests of Reading Comprehension
The Israel Institute of Applied Social Research, and The Hebrew University, Jerusalem PRESENTS A FACET design which makes possible the systematic construction of items for a reading comprehension test. Facet design concentrates on the relation of the item to the information presented in the text or elsewhere, rather than on skills and abilities presumably involved in comprehending the text. An item is conceived of as consisting of one or more sta…

Systematic Construction of Distractors for Ability and Achievement Test Items
DISTRACTORS, according to the definition given by English and English (1958), &dquo;are designed to be attractive... to the respond-ent who does not know the correct answer.&dquo; Keeping the correct answer company is usually regarded the only function of dis-tractors, and sufficient attraction is deemed sufficient qualification for being a good distractor. Hence, distractors are usually con-structed initially on the basis of intuition as to what…
