To the Editor.— Maybe I am a word freak, but isn't there something we can do about that bloated verbal monstrosity the health care delivery system? It's not that I am against health care. But why mess with that word delivery? It adds nothing to the meaning and it saps attention that the reader can ill afford to waste.

The electrophysiological correlates of Noun–Noun compounds
Brain and Language, 2007The ‘‘head’’ of a compound is the component determining the lexical category, the gender and the semantic traits of the whole compound. Despite its importance, the precise role of the ‘‘head’’ dimension has been almost missing from aphasiological investigations (Semenza & Mondini, 2006).

Discussion de la these de P.T. Geach sur la "derelativisation" dans l'analyse des noms referant a des objets "comptables" et a des objets non comptables "mass-terms". Selon l'A., cette these n'est adequate qu'aux noms comptables concrets. Pour les noms de "masse" concrets, il faut preferer l'analyse classique de Frege.

Functions of Language, 2004
In this paper, I investigate the theoretical status of noun phrases without nouns, i.e. noun phrases that do not contain a noun or pronoun, but only words that otherwise occur as modifiers of nouns.
