Traces of Contamination
"Exposing two general perspectives, both manifestations of an authoritarian past that still holds a relationship with the present, this collection reveals the ideological legacy of the past and its experience as a distressing conditioner of the present.

The papers in the latter group address the issues of meaning construction prompted by personal pronouns, relative clauses, inferential constructions, sort-of expressions, questions, and the into-causative construction.
