Abstract:

This article describes the morphological and syntactic mechanisms that are involved in the overt and covert realisation of core arguments in Takivatan Bunun. It argues that the interactions between these mechanisms make it difficult to explain Takivatan predicate-argument structure in terms of traditional notions of transitivity and argument alignment. As an alternative, it proposes that argument alignment in Takivatan is realised through the interaction of a number of relatively independent linguistic subsystems.

Abstract:

This paper discusses indirective, secundative and neutral alignment in ditransitive constructions, both with respect to argument flagging (adpositional or case marking) and argument indexing ("agreement"), based on a sample of 100 languages. The parallels with monotransitive alignment and accusative and ergative patterns are also explored.

Abstract:

In this article, we investigate aspects of sentential meaning that are not expressed in local predicate–argument structures. In particular, we examine instances of semantic arguments that are only inferable from discourse context. The goal of this work is to automatically acquire and process such instances, which we also refer to as implicit arguments, to improve computational models of language. As contributions towards this goal, we establish an effective framework for the difficult task of inducing implicit arguments and their antecedents in discourse and empirically demonstrate the importa

This study examines the ordering of the actor (A), theme (T) and recipient (R) arguments in three-argument clauses, the prepositional ditransitive constructions of Irish. The ordering of the A, T and R arguments in three-argument clauses is an area where linguistic complexity is manifest in the Irish grammar. Across languages, the factors which influence word order adjustments, from a basic word order of A-T-R, are known to include iconicity, information structure and topicalisation, the distinction between given and new information, the effects of the various referential hierarchies, and synt

Abstract In many languages, indefinite expressions are known to have restricted access to core argument functions. This article focuses on the accessibility hierarchy of indefinite expressions to subject and object functions in a sample of Austronesian languages. Aiming at some comparative analysis, some cross-linguistic perspectives on the differential encoding of ± definite core arguments and other types of restrictions are discussed. The questions addressed are: (i) What type of indefinite nouns have core argument function? (ii) If barred from core argument function, how are indefinite argu

This paper explores transitivity-related features in Abui, a language with fluid semantic alignment (after Donohue and Wichmann 2008).

Abui system is unusual; it offers seven coding options for both single-argument and two-argument clauses.

Abstract:

Newspaper editorials are shaped by the need to negotiate alignment and rapport with a diverse readership. This is achieved partly through the resources of engagement (Martin and White 2005), that is, through the argumentative moves of disclaim, proclaim, entertain and attribute, by which dialogic relations with the reader are carefully modulated. One aspect of argumentation in editorials that has sometimes been overlooked is that of the concede-counter structure, by which the writer signals concurrence with the reader on a particular issue, only to counter this with a new argument that may who

Abstract This paper describes the verbal argument coding by a system of person indexing and the alignment type of Beria. Beria is a Saharan language spoken in the Sudan and Chad. The data presented here is from the Wagi dialect. The person indexing system has been analyzed as exhibiting split-S alignment with two types of intransitive verb classes: agentive and patientive verbs. Patientive verbs – though mostly encoding one-participant events – are, however, formally transitive. This morphosyntax-semantics mismatch poses a challenge for the split-S analysis and calls for a reassessment of the

Abstract:

Ditransitive constructions are syntactic constructions with three argu- ments, an agent (A), a theme (T), and a recipient (R), which express an event of possessive transfer (‘give,’ ‘lend,’ etc.) or an event of cognitive transfer (‘tell,’ ‘show,’ etc.). Their cross-linguistic study has revealed three major alignment types: indirective alignment (with the R treated in a special way, distinct from monotransitive P), secundative align- ment (with the T treated in a special way), and neutral alignment (or double-object construction). Alignments may be construction specific, that is, different in a

It is usually believed that non-accusative alignment systems are very rare in Africa. A thorough study of the verbal systems of the Southwestern Mande languages (Looma, Mende, Kpelle) has shown that this group is an exception. The Ergative/Absolutive types of argument coding and semantic alignment are observed in these languages mainly in the personal marking on the verbs. In the Liberian dialects of Looma, only stative verbs (belonging to a closed class) show non-accusative encoding, which can be interpreted as an S-split. In Mende, an Active/Stative type of argument indexing is attested on t

Abstract This article proposes that the divergent pattern of verb argument marking found in object focus clauses in the Tuparian branch of the Tupian family comes from the reanalysis of an object nominalization in a cleft construction. Based on the distribution of free and bound person markers, the major alignment pattern can be characterized as nominative-absolutive in simple clauses, with free pronouns expressing the nominative, whereas bound person markers express the absolutive. However, object focus clauses show a distinct alignment pattern: the ergative, and not the absolutive, is indexe

I argue that the alignment argument for traditional religion remains sound even when the deep future is considered. Furthermore, I assess Schellenberg’s claim that humanity is religiously im

Despite differences in the modality of expression (visual-gestural vs. auditory-oral), verbal classifiers end up accomplishing this same kind of work in the grammar, which falls under absolutive alignment.

Abstract:

The enigma of the origin of non-canonical subject marking in the world’s languages has been met with two competing hypotheses: the Object-to-Subject Hypothesis and the Oblique Subject/Semantic Alignment Hypothesis (cf. Eythórsson and Barðdal, 2005). The present article argues in favor of the Oblique Subject/Semantic Alignment Hypothesis, presenting five sets of cognate predicates in the early/archaic Indo-European daughter languages that occur in the Oblique Subject Construction. These cognate sets have not figured in the earlier literature. Not only are they stem cognates, but they also occur

Abstract:

We consider the initial-boundary value problem of compressible Navier–Stokes–Vlasov equations under a local alignment regime in a one-dimensional bounded domain. Based on the relative entropy method and compactness argument, we prove that a weak solution of the initial-boundary value problem converges to a strong solution of the limiting two-phase fluid system. This work extends in some sense the previous work of Choi and Jung [Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci. 31(11), 2213–2295 (2021)], which considered the diffusive term ∂ ξξ f ɛ in the kinetic equation. Note that the diffusion term was not co

Abstract:

AbstractRising levels of crime and insecurity affect the quality of life. A fundamental question for the prospects of democracy is whether voters, in hopes of reaching better solutions to conditions of prevailing insecurity, can hold their elected officials accountable for such situations. This article argues that electoral accountability amid criminal violence requires voters to be able to assign responsibility for crime, and that partisan alignment across levels of government facilitates this task. Recent Mexican elections are examined to test this argument. Relying on both aggregate elector

Abstract:

In 1954, India did a ‘Himalayan Blunder’ of having fallen into China’s trap of accepting Tibet to be a part of China. In ‘1962 Indo- China War’, China’s biggest argument of its having claim over Ladakh was that since Ladakh was a part of Tibet and thus belongs to China. But the historical perspective, altogether, contradicts it. Having annexed Tibet and forcefully occupying Aksai Chin, there was no looking back for China; be it in 1965, 1967, 1987, 2013, 2017; and now in 2020. Every time, the Chinese rulers would invent one lie or the other. Xi Jinping, the present Chinese President, imbibes t

Abstract:

Beria, a member of the Saharan language family, is one of the rare languages in Africa exhibiting both an ergative and an active/agentive alignment system of grammatical relations.1 While the active/agentive pattern is shown by the participant reference markers, the ergative pattern is attested both in the constituent order and in the focus markers on the core constituents. In the pragmatically unmarked constituent order, the Agent constituent precedes the Patient constituent. An unmarked single constituent immediately preceding the verb may represent a Patient or a Subject argument. In this p

Abstract:

Side switching by armed groups is a prominent feature of many civil wars. Shifts in alignment have far-reaching consequences, influencing key outcomes such as civil war duration and termination, military effectiveness, levels of civilian victimization, and state-building prospects. In Sudan's wars, ideological and ethnic cleavages have not influenced factional alignments nearly as much as one might expect given the prominence of clashing political projects and ethnically organized violence in southern Sudan and Darfur.

Abstract:

Our starting point is the following hypothesis: the human constructions of architecture and urbanism are a destination of memory. Such a starting point calls for an investigation of the place that memory must occupy within the framework of a topological phenomenology. It is in the context of such a framework that our key argument is developed as follows: the alignment between memory and space reveals itself, in a particularly intense and illustrative way, in the immersive experiences of certain ambiences, or atmospheres.

Abstract:

Motivation: As passive components’ size gets smaller, quality rejects due to overhang and misalignment after the reflow appear more frequently. This situation is partly because the pass-fail criterion is set based on the offset concerning the component dimensions. Therefore, understanding the self-alignment characteristics of electronic components becomes very critical for surface-mount assembly yield. This research investigates the dissimilarity of self-alignment in the length and width directions. Approach: To avoid the argument of sample to sample variations, data are collected from 8

Abstract:

In this study, we used a mathematical method for the multiple alignment of highly divergent sequences (MAHDS) to create a database of potential promoter sequences (PPSs) in the Capsicum annuum genome. To search for PPSs, 20 statistically significant classes of sequences located in the range from −499 to +100 nucleotides near the annotated genes were calculated. For each class, a position–weight matrix (PWM) was computed and then used to identify PPSs in the C. annuum genome. In total, 825,136 PPSs were detected, with a false positive rate of 0.13%. The PPSs obtained with the MAHDS method were

The article investigates the possibilities and limitations of a religious Christian hope from a postmodern perspective. It argues that Søren Kierkegaard’s Christian understanding of hope as ambiguous, despiteful, and ethical is in alignment with Gianni Vattimo’s postmodern theory of kenosis as the essence of secularity. The argument proceeds in three steps. The first section outlines the challenge and the potential of the postmodern. The second section analyzes Kierkegaard’s understanding of hope. The third section sketches how Vattimo’s postmodern theory contrasts the pragmatic, scientific, a

AbstractIn this paper we consider the grammaticalization of subject agreement adducing first-hand synchronic evidence from presentational VS constructions in Italo-Romance dialects. While the existing literature has placed emphasis on the pragmatic properties of the controller, we explore its semantic properties. We argue that variation in subject agreement can only be fully captured with reference to an independently established semantic scale of subjecthood that is based on the position of arguments in semantic representation, and hence on their lexical entailments.Unaffected actoris the def
