Logical Form: Its Structure and Derivation (Linguistic Inquiry Monographs)

This study focuses on the relation of syntactic and semantic structure. It investigates the notion that within generative grammar there is a level of linguistic representation Logical Form. Its main assumption is that this is a level of phrase structure representation, derived by transformational operations from S-structure, and over which formal semantic interpretations are defined. The book explores Logical Form by focusing primarily on quantificational phenomena and on how their explicit syntactic representation interacts with various syntactic and semantic properties. Among the topics discussed are the interactions of "wh and quantified phrases, bound variable anaphora, branching quantifiers, extraposition and multiple interrogation. "Logical Form contains several technical innovations: the notion that LF-movement closely approximates "Move a, " a new approach to characterizing quantifier scope, which makes central use of the notion of "government, " a novel interpretation of the relation of syntactic nodes and categorical projections, and an application of path theory to the syntactic structure of Logical Form. Robert May is Assistant Professor of Linguistics, Barnard College, Columbia University. "Logical Form is Linguistic Inquiry Monograph 12.

Many major cities are built on stiff sedimentary clays and the increasing demands for large earthworks, major foundations, deep excavations and tunnels, often in close proximity with each other, stretches our scientific understanding and engineering skills to their limits. The fourteenth Geotechnique Symposium in Print, returned to geo-materials, focusing on the genesis and engineering behaviour of stiff sedimentary clays and was divided into four sessions - Formation and engineering geology of stiff clays; Laboratory and in situ techniques and their interpretation; Engineering characterisation of stiff clay formations and material models; and Engineering in stiff clays. This book includes all the related papers, by leading international researchers, published in GÃ©otechnique along with keynote speeches, informal discussions on key submissions that were presented at the Symposium at the Institution of Civil Engineers on 14 May 2007 and additional papers, published in Geotechnique between 2000 and 2006, which add further insights on the major topics of the Symposium. Contents: Keynote Speeches Session 1: Formation and Engineering Geology of Stiff Clays - 3 Papers Session 2: Laboratory and In Situ Techniques and their Interpretation - 5 Papers Session 3: Characterisation of Formations and Material Models - 5 Papers Session 4: Engineering in Stiff Clays - 4 Papers Selected related articles from GÃ©otechnique - 4 Papers Readership: Stiff Sedimentary Clays provides practitioners and researchers with an ideal opportunity to be updated on recent research on advanced geotechnical engineering in stiff clays which are of increasing importance as we shape the infrastructure of the 21st century.

Excerpt from Lectures to the Young So pleasant and useful was the impres sion made on their minds by this exercise, that it was regularly repeated for several weeks; Mr. May was encouraged by the success of this effort to extend his labours, and in the course of the four fol lowing years his lectures were attended by upwards of three thousand children. In December, 1810, he embarked for India, by way of the United States, and arrived at Philadelphia in March, 1811. He addressed large assemblies of children on two or three occasions, and re-embarked in May, but meeting a heavy gale of wind, which occasioned damage to the ship, he returned to Philadelphia to await a more favourable opportunity for a voyage to India.
