Syntax and Semantics, Volume 7: Notes from the Linguistic Underground is a collection of articles that were written in the 1960s, which has never before appeared in a regular, English language publication. The papers contained in this compendium provide the history and information on the development of transformational grammar and generative semantics. The book presents articles that discuss topics on reflexivization, transformations, past tense replacement and the modal system, and pro-sentential forms and their implications for English sentence structure. Papers that tackle syntactic orientation, some constraints on pronominalization, discourse referents, and the verb-object agreement rule and the wh-movement rule in Hungarian are likewise included. Linguists and linguistic historians will find the book invaluable.
