    SYNTAX

    Dalrymple, Mary THE SYNTAX OF ANAPHORIC BINDING CSLI Publications 1993 ix, 179 pp. Anaphora US $17.95 (paper) $45.00 (cloth) ISBN 1-881526-06-2 (paper), 1-881526-07-0 (cloth) Distributed by The University of Chicago Press (1-800-621-2736) This book provides a theory of the syntax of anaphoric binding within the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar, showing how a set of complex constraints on f-structural relations can interact to predict the wide range of universally-available syntactic conditions which anaphoric elements obey.

    Kroeger, Paul PHRASE STRUCTURE AND GRAMMATICAL RELATIONS IN TAGALOG CSLI Publications 1993 xiv, 240 pp. Phrase Structure Grammar US $16.95 (paper) $39.95 (cloth) ISBN 0-937073-86-5 (paper), 0-937073-87-3 (cloth) Distributed by The University of Chicago Press (1-800-621-2735) Kroeger examines the history of the subjecthood debate and uses data from Tagalog to test the theories that have been put forth. He asserts that grammatical relations are not defined in terms of surface phrase structure configurations, but on the basis of syntactic properties.



    SEMANTICS

    Ojeda, Almerindo LINGUISTIC INDIVIDUALS CSLI Publications 1993 xii, 201 pp. Semantics US $17.95 (paper) $45.00 (cloth) ISBN 0-937073-84-9 (paper), 0-937073-85-7 (cloth) Distributed by The University of Chicago Press (1-800-621-2736) Ojeda argues that the universe of discourse is mereologically structured by the relation of instantiation, the relation which holds between kinds and their instances. He examines the semantics of countability, uncountability, nominality, and the conceptual neuter.
