VIrtually all the papers in these volumes originated in
presentations at the Fourth Groningen Round Table, held in July
1980. That conference, organ ized by the Institute for General
linguistics of Groningen University was the fourth in an irregular
series of meetings devoted to issues of topical interest to
linguists. Its predecessor, the Third Round Table, was held in June
1976, and dealt with the semantics of natural language. A selection
of the papers was published as Syntax and Semantics 10, Selections
from the Third Groningen Round Table, ed. by F. Heny and H.
Schnelle, Academic Press, 1979. This fourth meeting was more
narrowly focussed. The original intention was to examine the
hypothesis of Akrnajian, Steele and Wasow in their paper 'The
Category AUX in Universal Grammar', Linguistic Inquiry 10, 1-64.
Ultimately the topic was broadened considerably to encompass not
only the syntax, semantics and morphology of auxiliaries and
related elements, but to tackle the problem (implicit in the
original work of Akmajian, Steele and Wasow) of justifying the
selection of categories for the analysis of natural language. In
the summer of 1979, a workshop and short, informal conference were
held at the University of Salzburg, in preparation for the Round
Table. These were organized in conjunction with the Summer
Institute of the linguistic Society of America. The cooperation of
the LSA and of the University of Salzburg, and in particular of the
Director of that Institute, Professor Gaberell Drachman, is hereby
gratefully acknowledged."
