LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CATALOG CARD NUMBER: 71-159472 Printed in Hungary To my wife, Nongnit, and my daughter, Udomnit PREFACE This book was written as a dissertation for a graduate degree at The Uni- versity of Texas in 1963. Since then the transformational theory has ad- vanced a great deal. I intended to revise this book accordingly but my present tasks prevent me from doing so. Those who follow the new development of the theory can do so without much difficulty. I would like to express my indebtedness to Professors Archibald A. Hill, Emmon Bach, Rudolph Troike, and Stanley Werbow of The University of Texas, Professor William J. Gedney of The University of Michigan, and Pro- fessor William F. Klatte of The University of Alberta. This work was supported by the Ministry of Education of Thailand.
