This paper is dedicated to Adrian Akmajian. I had the good fortune to be Adrian's student; he was my thesis supervisor. At the time of Adrian's sudden illness, we had been discussing revisions to an earlier version of this paper (Jelinek, 1983b). Adrian did not see this final draft, and all errors and confusions are my responsibility.
