A phonotactic link between strong verbs and function words in English
Date of acceptance is 15.6.2006, for a December 2006 issue. Due to a hiatus in the editorship of the journal the issue was not published until 2014; with a 2006 imprint; the version published in 2014 is unchanged from the version accepted in 2006
Irregularity in language
Three areas of irregularity in English are considered: irregular or strong verbs, non-passivizable transitive verbs, and irregular noun plurals, through the eyes particularly of Steven Pinker and his book Words and rules (and The language instinct), but also as seen in Chomskyan generative grammar and Saussurean structuralism. Steven Pinker, despite his professing an allegiance to Chomsky, and claiming to be a psychologist, not a linguist, turns …
A critique of the model-building approach
This paper puts forward the view that generative grammar makes two interrelated errors. One is its endemic practice of making assumptions systematically; the other is the way in which in “formalizing” those assumptions it confuses notation with form. Schoorlemmer's 1995 book on the Russian participial passive is taken as a case in point. S gives an account of the participial passive in Russian which sees it as having perfect-like properties and h…

The English passive as an aspect
Descriptive versus generative grammar
The passive in English, German and Russian
It is usually assumed that English has two aspects, the perfect and the progressive. I would like to suggest, however, that there are in English not two but three aspects – the perfect, the progressive and the passive. The most common description of the (actional) passive is one which derives sentences containing be + past participle from an underlying transitive active structure. In a description of this kind there are several defects of a theor…
