QUERY: In an earlier issue reference was made to a number of efforts since the middle of the past century to win acceptance for a new personal pronoun that would mean what the awkward phrase he or she means. In the section devoted to Editorial Opinion in the issue of the English Journal that appeared about the same time, the form s/he was suggested as such a pronoun, and the newspapers have since told of support for this form in the State Educati…
Theory, Methodology, and Grammar
Linguistic Universals, Deep Structure, and English As a Second Language

Interrogative Structures of American English
The Clause Patterns of Contemporary English
AMONG THE SYNTACTIC UNITS with which analyses of contemporary English are concerned, none are of greater importance than clauses, main and subordinate. It is surprising that in the present period of strong interest in structural analysis of the living language no simple and convincing descriptions of clause patterns in present use are available. The purpose of this paper is to summarize briefly what seem to be the most influential recent descript…
