On Downstairs Transitivity In Causative Clause Unions, Donald G. Frantz
On Downstairs Transitivity In Causative Clause Unions, Donald G. Frantz
Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session
From the introduction: "The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that a number of languages require downstairs (ds) intransitivity for causative clause union (CsU). In addition I offer for testing the hypothesis that ds intransitivity is a universal constraint in CsU. In order to accomplish my initial purpose and at the same time give preliminary testing to the proposed hypothesis, I will compare the predictions made by the received version of CsU with those made by my own version plus the proposed ds intransitivity constraint for a number of languages."

The Imperative Morpheme In Seri, Stephen A. Marlett
The Imperative Morpheme In Seri, Stephen A. Marlett
Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session
From the introduction: "There are several allomorphs of the morpheme indicating second person imperative and several of the morpheme indicating first person imperative in Seri. Since these allomorphs are for the most part suppletive in each case, it is necessary to posit two multi-clause spelling rules to account for them. In this paper I will present evidence for the analysis I have adopted which to the best of my knowledge accounts for all of the second person and first person imperatives in Seri."
A New View Of To-Contraction, Donald G. Frantz
A New View Of To-Contraction, Donald G. Frantz
Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session
All treatments of so-called to-contraction in English (Lakoff 1970, Bresnan 1971, Lightfoot 1976) attempt to deal with the phenomenon entirely in terms of contiguity. The purpose of this squib is to point out that the major constraint on this phenomenon is rather one of subject coreference, and furthermore that this coreference condition is identical to that for a universal rule which I have called 'equi-subject clause union' (Frantz 1976).

Remarks On Cheyenne Obviation And Pluralization, Wayne E. Leman
Remarks On Cheyenne Obviation And Pluralization, Wayne E. Leman
Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session
From the introduction, "In Cheyenne, as in other Algonquian languages, when two or more third-person nominals are in the same sentence or "contextual span" (Wolfart 1973:17), one of the nominals must be treated as "nearer" or more "in focus" than the other third-person nominal(s). The nearer person is called the "proximate" form while any other(s) is said to be "obviate" (sometimes called a "fourth-person"). The proximate nominal can function as the "topic" of a discourse segment, or "the person earlier spoken of and already known" (Bloomfield 1962:38). The marking of one or more nominals as obviates is called "obviation".
The Verbal System In Godié: A Daughter Dependency Approach, Lynell Marchese
The Verbal System In Godié: A Daughter Dependency Approach, Lynell Marchese
Work Papers of the Summer Institute of Linguistics, University of North Dakota Session
From the introduction: "The goal of this paper is to describe the verbal system of Godié, a Kru language spoken in southwest Ivory Coast, within the framework of daughter dependency grammar. This model has been recently developed by the British linguist, R. A. Hudson. The model could be called "generative" since structures are built up through the application of various sets of rules. This type of grammar varies considerably, however, from other generative grammars in that it generates only one structure for each construction (rather than the traditional deep and surface structures, with several intermediate structures in between). Rather than …
