Applied Linguistics - an art work, quasi-poem, & pseudo-dialog by T Newfields Looking at her NP traces and pronominals of intimacy I noticed unfamiliar word clauses governing my heart’s grammar, but resisted - ah, the agony of theories! II. Even though her applications were restricted and the generative possibilities seemed finite soon we began of series of transformations in which my NP clause was inserted into a postnomial antecedent: to my surprise, the result felt lexically right! III. She was positively polyphonical! Still, this was no concern: the English language has been twisted so much that lexical butchery is no longer spurned. Remembering her deep structures were unexposed and that syntactic climax was a possibility I mounted her primary clause through a semantic split. Ah - the joys of proverbial fronting!
