In the present volume selected papers written during more than 50 years of the author's linguistic career are presented. Twenty five articles are divided into four general Sections, namely (I) Studies on morphological meanings, (II) General issues on syntax, (III) Issues on valency, (IV) Reflexivity, reciprocity, coreference and control.
The Functional Generative Description used as the theoretical framework provides the basis for the studies of form and function relations between the units of several language levels and for the dependency approach to the syntax.
