Additional information
I am grateful to the Graduate School Research Committee of the University of Wisconsin-Madison for partially supporting this work, which evolved from a report to the Opacity subgroup of the Pragmatics Workshop at Urbana in the summer of 1978. Acknowledgments for comments, suggestions, and encouragement are due to Barbara Abbott, Peter Cole, Robin Cooper, Polly Jacobson, Jerry Sadock, and the members of the Chicago Linguistic Society, the Harvard Linguistics Circle, and the Yale Linguistics Club who attended oral presentations of this paper in its earlier incarnations. I have also profited from the advice and dissent of an anonymous reviewer forLinguistics and Philosophy. None of the above are responsible for what I have chosen to include or ignore; indeed, they may all now wish they had beenless generous and encouraging than they were. (Luckily for me, of course, they couldn't have been!)
