Préface xv
1 The study of language 1
Différent views of language: of the man-in-the-street, the 1
philosopher, the literary critic, the psychologist, etc., the
linguistic approach - neutral, unslanted, language for its
own sake.
Différent linguistic théories: survey of différent schools 3
of linguistics.
The linguistic approach to language: objectivity; sys- 8
tematicness; descriptive approach; balance between
language-specific and language-universal; distinction of
synchronie and diachronic; language as a structure; lan¬
guage as a tool with différent functions.
Questions for study 16

2 Language as a semiotic System 18
Some basic notions: sign, signal, symbol; type and token; 18
code and message; signal, noise and redundancy.
Language-independent semiotic Systems: traffic lights, 22
cricket umpire s signais, etc.; logical, mathematical and
musical symbols; paralanguage.
Distinctive characteristics of language: discreteness of 27
symbols, double articulation , arbitrariness, différent
média, range of meanings - including displacement
and creativity; comparison with animal languages .
v
The organization oflanguage: expression and content; 30
form and substance .
Linguistic relations and values: paradigmatic, syntag- 33
matic and functional relations; linguistic values, con¬
stants and variables, distinctiveness, déterminant and
demarcative value, -emic and -etic.
Rules and tendencies 37
Questions for study 39
Further reading 40
3 The task of grammar 42
The scope of grammar: plerematic and cenematic; 42
grammar and semantics; grammar and lexis; morpho-
logy and syntax.
The morphème as a basic unit: criteria of récurrence and 49
meaningfulness; problems of unique morphèmes,
polysemy and homonymy.
Kinds of grammar: prescriptive and descriptive, mono- 52
lingual and bilingual grammars; text-based, exemp-
lificatory and generative grammars; compétence and
performance, grammar as a theory of compétence;
hocus-pocus and God s truth .
Questions for study 58
Further reading 59
4 Generative grammar - rules and descriptions 60
Judging the adequacy ofa grammar: explicitness in tradi- 60
tional grammar, in Jespersen, in Harris and in generative
grammar.
Finite-state grammars: their capacity and their limita- 62
tions.
Rewrite grammars: their conventions, their capacities 71
and their subvarieties.
Phrase-structure grammars: descriptive adequacy and 76
tree diagrams; kinds of rule and their formulation;
context-sensitive rules.
The adequacy of phrase^structure grammars: transfor- 84
vi
mational relations, discontinuous constituents, deep
and surface grammar; problems of observational ade-
quacy .
Questions for study 90
Further reading 92
5 Grammatical analysis 93
Description and analysis: the exploration of grammatical 93
compétence, intuitions and their évaluation: grammati¬
cal same and grammatical différent , minimal
grammatical différences: the purpose of operational
tests, their différence from discovery procédures.
Grammatical tests (substitution, expansion and reduc- 98
tion, insertion and omission, permutation/transposition,
complex transformations ) and their uses.
Grammatical patterns: resolution of structures into pat- 104
terns; the marking of patterns by structural signais
(=grammatical markers).
Questions for study 106
Further reading 108
6 Constructions - the problem of bracketing 109
Constructions and constituents: togetherness , Ulti- 109
mate Constituents and Immédiate Constituents, hier-
archy of constructions; notations for bracketing.
Establishment of constructions: operational tests to jus- 112
tify bracketing; bracketing as only one aspect of con¬
structions, alongside relational and class aspects, giving
three différent kinds of syntactic ambiguity.
The analysis of constituent patterns: problematic cases 118
such as determiner-adjective-noun; multiple con¬
stituents; crossing of word boundaries; discontinuous
constituents.
Relations of constituents within a construction: the 126
notions of endocentric, exocentric, subordinative and
coordinative; the semantic relationships conveyed by
constructions.

7 Grammatical class - the problem of labelling 133
Class and subclass: class as a set of substitution lists; 133
grammatical restrictions on co-occurrence; subclasses.
Syntactic features: hierarchical classification and cross- 138
classification; syntactic feature matrices and System
networks; marked and unmarked.
Neutralization: system-determined, context-determined 142
and lexically determined.
Class membership: multiple membership of classes 146
( class cleavage ).
Class markers: overt and covert. 147
Agreement between subclasses (= subcategories): con- 149
cord, government and cross-reference.
Questions for study 153
Further reading 154

formations, deep and surface structure, meaning-
changing and meaning-preserving transformations;
classical theory , standard theory , extended stan¬
dard theory and generative semantics ; ordering
of rules, intrinsic and extrinsic, the transformational
cycle.
The powers of transformations: deletion, substitution, 173
adjunction and permutation; feature spécification trans¬
formations; Iimits and limitations on transformations,
the primacy of Harris s transformations.
