The recent rapid development of transformational grammars has incorpo rated some strong claims in the areas of semantics and co-occurrence. The earlier structuralists relied on a minimum of information about the meaning of strings of a language. They asked only if strings of sounds were different in meaning - or simply were different words or phrases. Current transfor mational grammars, on the other hand, set as their goal the production of exactly the meaningful strings of a language. Stated slightly differently, they wish to specify exactly which strings of a language can occur together (meaningfully) in a given order. The present book purports to show that transformational grammar is in dependent of the current trends in semantics. I claim that exciting and sophisticated transformational grammars are required for describing when strings of a language mean the same, that is, for describing when strings of a language are paraphrases of each other. This task can be quite naturally limited to a project of much weaker semantic claims than those which are current in transformational linguistics.

Skinny! An Inspirational Cat Tale - is an entertaining story about a neighborhood rescue-cat nicknamed Skinny, and how he came to be the feline expression of unconditional love through the relentless pursuit of his unsociable neighbor, Miss Bhava. While inadvertently revealing his intuitive secrets of how to get along with everyone, he inspires a new connotation of the word, "skinny." Overall the tale is a humorous one, but it isn't without poignant moments. Mending a few saddened hearts along the way, Skinny befriends both human and animal alike with his instinctive timing and gentle spirit. You don't have to be a cat lover to appreciate Skinny's touching and comical adventures as he demonstrates how important it is to be kind, and that often, the very people (or animals in this case) needing love and compassion the most, may appear to be the least lovable.
