The focus in this volume is on grammatical aspects of the clause in English, presenting a fine balance between theoretically- and descriptively-oriented approaches. Some authors investigate the ...status and properties of 'minor' or 'fringe' constructions, including 'deictic-presentationals'; non-restrictive relative clauses with that; 'isolated if-clauses', and 'exceptional clauses'. In some articles the validity of conventional accounts and approaches is questioned: such as traditional constituency trees and labelled bracketings as a means of representing relationships between parenthetical elements and their 'hosts'; or traditional morphophonemic analyses as explanations for Ross's 'doubl-ing' constraint. While some authors question commonly made assumptions (for example those concerning the relationships of clauses to sentences and propositions; or those concerning the status of post-head dependents in the NP), others appeal to new frameworks (for instance 'emergence theory' is used as a source of inspiration in dealing with 'intransitive prepositions'). This collection also includes articles that adopt a solidly corpus-based approach.The Clause in English has been prepared by colleagues past and present, friends and admirers of Rodney Huddleston, in order to honour his consistently outstanding contribution to grammatical theory and description.
The medical school educational experience is very stressful for many students, prompting some to seek formal psychiatric care. The authors describe the Medical Student Support Services program of the ...University of Kentucky College of Medicine. From July 1983 to June 1985, this program served 66 patients, representing 417 visits. On the basis of retrospective chart review with the examining clinicians, the authors present DSM-III diagnoses, types of problems seen, descriptive profiles of the patients, duration of treatment, types of therapy used, and data on marital issues. They discuss the intricacies of providing psychiatric services to medical students and make recommendations for program development for such patients.
The regional variations in age/sex standardized rates of common surgical operations in three countries, GB, Canada, & the US, are examined based on national statistics. Large differences between ...these countries are noted & possible explanations offered. In England & Wales the extent to which particular surgical rates are related to indices of medical supply by Regional Health Authority are examined in detail. Overall hospital sector funding, relative to norms of medical "need," are seen to be strongly positively related to many operation rates, indicating a dependence on supply factors. The role of manpower levels in explaining utilization rates is examined in some detail & compared with empirical observations made in Canada & the US. Generally in a National Health Service context, numbers of surgeons or general practitioners are not as strongly related as in the US. Finally these observations are examined in the context of previous work, particularly on the role & nature of supply or induced demand. 6 Tables, 1 Figure. HA.
