The editorial work by Paul L. Garvin, including the authorship of the Introduction, was sponsored by the U. S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research of the Office of Aerospace Research, under Contract No.. AF49(638) - 1516 with the Bunker-Ramo Corporation.

The editorial work by Bernard Spolsky, the drawing of the flowcharts by the Graphic Arts department of the Indiana University Audio-Visual Center, and the retyping of some manuscripts, were supported by the original grant referred to in the first paragraph.

Acknowledgements by individual contributors follow:

Ranan B. Banerji. This work was carried out while I was on leave from Case Institute of Technology to which I am grateful for having made time available. Thanks are due to the United States Air Force Office of Scientific Research for allowing me to transfer my activities during the summer of 1964 from work supported by grant AFOSR-125-63 to the Language Data Processing Seminar.

William C. Crossgrove. I am indebted to the members of the Language Data Processing Seminar for many useful criticisms which were offered during my work. I have especially profited from the comments of Paul L. Garvin and the editorial assistance of Bernard Spolsky.

S. N. Jacobson.* Initial stimulus to the work reported in the paper was given by the unpublished paper ‘Shipibo Paragraph Structure’ by James Loriot. I am especially indebted to Loriot for several discussions concerning his paper. I should also like to acknowledge gratefully the detailed criticisms of earlier versions of this paper by Erica Garcia, Edward Green-glass, and Russell Kirsch. An earlier version of this paper was delivered at the 1964 meeting of the Association for Machine Translation and Computational Linguistics. This work was supported in part by the U. S. Air Force, Rome Air Development Center. Acknowledgement for copyright material is made to Lawrence Pollinger Limited, and the estate of the late Mrs. Frieda Lawrence.

Mary Lu Joynes. The work carried on in 1960 on the paper was supported by a University of Wisconsin Faculty Summer Grant. I am grateful to Paul L. Garvin for his many helpful suggestions and to Laura Trout for her invaluable advice on the preparation of the flowcharts.

Dan M. Matson. This work was supported in part by a research contract between the U. S. Office of Education and the University of Wisconsin.

Fred C. C. Peng. This study was supported in part by the Information Processing Laboratory of the Rome Air Development Center of the U. S. Air Force, under Contract AF 30(602) -3462. I am grateful to Paul L. Garvin for many constructive suggestions.

Paul O. Samuelsdorff. I am indebted to Paul L. Garvin for criticism and suggestions, and to Bernard Spolsky and Gene M. Schramm for discussing with me some points of ambiguity in modern Hebrew. I am grateful to Laura Trout and Steven I. Laszlo for advice on the possibilities of programming the flowcharts and to Gerhard Stickel of the Deutsches Rechenzen-trum, Darmstadt, for programming the analysis of the artificial sentences. I am especially indebted to the persons and institutions that made it possible for me to participate in the Seminar.

Albert Schütz. The material for this study was collected in the Fiji Islands from November, I960,to August, 1961, and in January, 1963. The first field trip was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and directed by Charles F. Hockett of Cornell University. The second trip was supported by the Research Committee of the University of Hawaii. Thanks are due to other members of the Language Data Processing Seminar for their suggestions, and to Howard P. McKaughan and George W. Grace, of the University of Hawaii, for their comments on Section 1 of the paper.

Roger W. Shuy. I would like to thank Paul L. Garvin and the members of the 1964 Linguistics Institute Research Seminar in Language Data Processing for their helpful discussion of this paper. In addition, I am indebted to William Card, who gave many helpful suggestions and criticisms.

Bernard Spolsky. I am indebted to Paul L. Garvin and members of the 1964 Linguistics Institute Research Seminar in Language Data Processing for suggestions and criticisms.

Richard L. Venezky. I am indebted to Paul L. Garvin and to the other members of the Linguistics Institute Research Seminar in Language Data Processing for suggestions and criticisms on this work. While many of the ideas presented here were developed subsequent to the summer session in Bloomington, the major part of the work was aided by the continual discussions throughout the summer months.

Oswald Werner. This work, including the author’s stay at the 1964 Linguistic Institute at Indiana University and participation in the Language Data Processing Seminar was supported by an NSF postdoctoral fellowship. This support is acknowledged with gratitude. Thanks are also due to Ken L. Hale and James D. McCawley for criticism and many suggestions.
