    Calgary Working Papers in Linguistics, Volume 7, Winter 1982
    (University of Calgary, 1982-01) Jehn, Richard Douglas; Rowsell, Lorna
    Owing to serious organizational difficulties combined with the heavy workloads of those involved with publication, this seventh issue of the Calgary Working Papers in Linguistics belatedly appears in February 1982. As in the past, we ask that our readers treat these articles as working papers; their appearance here does not preclude their publication in a different form elsewhere.

    Calgary Working Papers in Linguistics, Volume 9, Summer 1983
    (University of Calgary, 1983-06) Pepper, Mary; Phillips, Marilyn; Rowsell, Lorna; Steinbergs, Aleks
    This is the ninth in the series of working papers published by LOGOS, the Student Linguistics Society at The University of Calgary. These papers represent the current research in progress of students and faculty members and as such should not be considered in any way final or definitive. Appearance of papers in this volume does not preclude their publication in another form elsewhere.

    The function of the copy pronouns in Kapampangan
    (University of Calgary, 1986-06) Rowsell, Lorna
    There exists in Kapampangan an obligatory set of enclitic pronouns which co-occur with and precede their nominal referents. If it is assumed that marking devices in natural language are minimally efficient, the existence of these copy pronouns may at first be perceived as redundant. In this paper, therefore, I will attempt to show that their presence is necessitated by two factors: the ergative morphology of the language and the Philippine focus construction. Following this analysis, I will present some examples of sentences in which the presence or absence of these pronouns provides syntactic information not otherwise apparent.
