Structural analogy is the assumption that structural differences between the levels and planes (levels with different alphabets) of linguistic representation are severely constrained: within the limits imposed by the character of inter-level relationships and by differences in alphabet, we expect the same properties to recur on different levels and planes. The implementation of the case grammar hypothesis (that semantic roles are syntactically basic) is explored here in terms of this assumption; and the hypothesis is shown to interact with other constraints imposed by the structural analogy assumption to provide a restrictive theory of syntactic structure and the lexicon-syntax interface.
From supersonic jets and rocket-powered planes to massive ocean liners and underwater cars, this book is packed with the most incredible machines on the planet. Learn about the amazing engineering behind some of the world’s fastest vehicles, discover how a new generation of airliners are changing the way we travel, and what the trains and planes of the future will look like. Learn how modern combat has been revolutionised by some truly astonishing vehicles, and get a detailed look at some of the iconic tanks, ships and planes that have cemented their place in the history books.

In Inclined Planes, inhabitants of Mammoth Island have decided to smash boulders into bits by dropping them off a wooden tower to make gravel for their new roads. While this method does produce gravel, the islanders find it is difficult and even dangerous to hoist boulders up the side of a tower. A young islander, Olive, suggests that they roll the boulders up a ramp instead of hauling them up the tower, and proves that it takes less effort to roll the boulders up an inclined plane, thereby allowing them to get the job done more easily!
