The Syntactic Phenomena of English
This second edition of James D. McCawley's classic textbook offers in one volume a complete course in the syntactic structure of English. New to this edition are sections on appositive constructions, parasitic gaps, contrastive negation, and comparative conditional sentences, as well as expanded coverage of cleft sentences and free relatives. The presentation is coherent, comprehensive, and systematically organized, beginning with an overview of …

Newmeyer's cyclic view of the history of generative grammar
Frederick J. Newmeyer, Generative linguistics: a historical perspective . London: Routledge, 1996. Pp. x+218. In this book (henceforth, GL ), Newmeyer has collected 11 of his articles (including two co-authored ones), two of them previously unpublished, on the history of generative grammar, supplemented by reprints of two sections of Newmeyer 1986
Syntactic concepts and terminology in mid-20th century American Linguistics
This paper deals with the notions and terminology that figure in the syntactic works of Bloomfield, Fries, Hockett, Gleason, and early Chomsky. Notwithstanding Bloomfield's commitment to constituent structure and his profound influence on syntactic research in the United States, constituency had a surprisingly peripheral role in such works as Fries (1952) "Immediate constituents" (is the last of its syntactic chapters) and notions of dependency s…
Why Surface Syntactic Structure Reflects Logical Structure as Much as It Does, but Only That Much
The hypotheses that (1) with regard at least to scope, deep structure is identical to logical structure, e.g. a quantified expression is a sister of the S that is its scope, and (2) the rules relating deep structure to surface apply according to a strict principle of cyclicity, explain both why there are many systematic parallels between surface syntactic structure and logical structure (e.g. cases where surface c-command relations match logical …

The biological side of Otto Jespersen's linguistic thought
Central ideas of Darwin's theory of natural selection figure prominently in the work of Otto Jespersen (1860-1943). As early as 1886, Jespersen treated linguistic change in Darwinian terms: variation in the pronunciation and meaning of the various units, and factors that raise or lower a variety's viability. His critique of the neogrammarian principle of exceptionlessness of sound change includes the point that phonologically parallel words often…

Otto Jespersen
The dark side of reason
In his Farewell to Reason, Paul Feyerabend advocates radical pluralism in all intellectual endeavors and disputes the widely held belief that all issues can and should be resolved rationally. For Feyerabend, it is desirable that mutually incompatible approaches to scientific and scholarly research proliferate. Even an approach that one's favored school of thought dismisses as loony is likely to yield ideas and factual observations that its deroga…

Adverbial NPs
Larson 1985 develops an analysis of 'bare-NP adverbs' as in 1 in which certain NPs are able to appear in adverbial syntactic positions in virtue of a peculiarity of their head nouns:' (1) a. John arrived last week. b. They went that way. For Larson, week, way, and a number of other nouns have lexical entries containing a feature [ + F] that allows them to assign oblique Case to NPs of which they are the head; the difference between 2a and 2b is t…

The syntax and semantics of english relative clauses
English as a VSO Language
Evidence is presented that the superficial Subject-Verb-Object word order of English arises by a transformation from an underlying constituent order in which clauses begin with verbs—or more correctly, predicates: the representation in question here is a semantic one in which noun, verb, adjective, conjunction, etc. are undifferentiated

Today the world, tomorrow phonology
Generative phonological research has typically relied heavily on gratuitous assumptions about the particular morphemic decompositions that are by convention treated as data, about the relevance of those decompositions to the determination of underlying forms, and about the individuation of linguistic phenomena. I discuss a number of topics that take on a different complexion when these gratuitous assumptions are avoided: the identification of par…
What's with with
The absolute construction exemplified by with the bus drivers on strike consists of with plus a constituent that possesses all the characteristics typical of embedded S's, except for having to contain a verb: it serves as a domain for cyclic application of transformations, it serves as a scope for quantifiers and negatives, and its elements do not command elements of the main clause. An analysis of these constituents as underlying S's, subject to…
