Both the people who tell them and those who listen regard such stories as entertaining and instructional. The stories reflect some of the tensions that exist between traditional Cherokee culture and modern American social life. They also provide linguists with valuable examples of "good Cherokee" as it is used by speakers. http://hdl.handle.net/1808/461 Title: Endangered Languages Data Summary<br/><br/>Authors: Linguistic Society of America.

Empirical support for the new proposal comes from anaphor deletion facts and coordination facts. The analysis also accounts for previously noted data involving VPCs. http://hdl.handle.net/1808/459 Title: AN NP-MOVEMENT ACCOUNT OF TOUGH CONSTRUCTIONS'<br/><br/>Authors: Reider, Michael<br/><br/>Abstract: Chomsky's (1981) wh-movement analysis of tough constructions is inadequate when tough subjects involving internal [theta]-relations are considered--unless, as Jones (1983) observes, generalized transformations, abandoned long ago, are now reintroduced in the Government-Binding (GB) framework. To replace Chomsky's solution and thereby to obviate the need for generalized transformations in GB theory, an alternative analysis is proposed in this paper in which the tough subject originates as an embedded object, is subsequently reanalyzed as the complement of a derived adjective, and finally undergoes NP-movement to subject position. It is shown that this analysis accounts for a wide range of data, including tough constructions exhibiting wh-island effects and tough constructions containing a parasitic gap. If the solution advocated here is correct, then it must be concluded that the reintroduction of generalized transformations is simply not motivated in the case of these constructions.
