Abstract:

ABSTRACTThis article concerns the interrelation between the theoretical status and the social dimensions of syntactic variation in Heerlen Dutch. I discuss syntactic variation in Heerlen Dutch, which consists of (i) a range of dative constructions that are acceptable in the Heerlen dialect but unacceptable in Standard Dutch and (ii) Standard Dutch variants of the dative constructions that are rare in the Heerlen dialect. The theoretical primitive causing syntactic variation is taken to be the different values or settings of a parameter. Although all local dialect constructions in Heerlen Dutch

Abstract:

AbstractThis article provides a preliminary semantic framework for Dependency Grammar in which lexical words are semantically defined as contextual distributions (sets of contexts) while syntactic dependencies are compositional operations on word distributions. More precisely, any syntactic dependency uses the contextual distribution of the dependent word to restrict the distribution of the head, and makes use of the contextual distribution of the head to restrict that of the dependent word.

Abstract:

This approach examines the syntactic distribution of ar in Bangla language. Apparently, it seems to occur almost every plausible position across a clause. It may occur clause initially, internally and finally. In some extreme cases, it may occur with each word in a clause. This surface observation does not specify what its exact syntactic distribution is. So, its across clause distributional phenomenon is controversially disputed. In this paper, I shall argue that ar can be restrictedly and unrestrictedly distributed in their respective contexts, thus its apparent multiple syntactic position i

Names are referring expressions and interact with the determiner system only exceptionally, in stark contrast with count nouns.

I argue that the-predicativists have incorrectly discerned the syntactic facts. They have bypassed a large range of important syntactic data and misconstrued a critical data point on which they ground the-predicativism. The rig

Abstract:

The concept of distribution is a concept within traditional logic that has been fundamental for the syntactic development of Sommers and Englebretsen’s term functor logic, a logic that recovers the term syntax of traditional logic. The issue here, however, is that the semantic counterpart of distribution for this logic is still in the making. Consequently, given this disparity between syntax and semantics, in this contribution we adapt some ideas of term functor logic tableaux to develop models of distribution, thus providing some alternative formal semantics to help close this breach.

Abstract The paper examines the diachronic implications of asymmetries in the synchronic distribution of syntactic variants, by inquiring whether syntactic alternatives can differentiate historically, following the model of morphological split.

The paper proposes structural constraints for different adjunct classes in German and English. Approaches in which syntax has only the task to provide adjunct positions and in which principles of scope are supposed to explain the distribution of adjuncts are rejected as incomplete. The syntactic requirements are not as rigid as other approaches require, such that there is just one possible position for a given adjunct. Rather the syntactic constraints may be fulfilled in different positions.

Abstract:

Words are typically encountered in the context of a sentence. Recent studies suggest that the contexts in which a word typically appears can affect the way it is recognized in isolation. We distinguish two types of context: collocational, involving specific lexical items, and syntactic, involving abstract syntactic structures. We investigate the effects of syntactic context using the distribution that verbs induce over the syntactic category of their complements (subcategorization frames). Magnetoencephalography (MEG) data was recorded while participants performed a lexical decision task. Verb

Using a cross-modal lexical priming technique we provide an on-line examination of the ability of aphasic patients to construct syntactically licensed dependencies in real time.

These findings indicate that the cerebral tissue implicated in Wernicke's aphasia is not crucial for recovering

Abstract:

This paper argues that the distribution of the prepositions in and on suggests that they are unable to express direction and can only indicate the goal in certain specific contexts, often those in which the direction is expressed by the verb. This analysis of in and on is in direct contradiction to previous analyses of PP that have assumed that these prepositions can be both locative and directional. The significance of the distribution of in and on for analyses of the syntax of PP is discussed. Distributional facts suggest that while into and onto must be regarded as prepositions of movement

The internal syntactic structures of restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses are largely identical.

In particular, sentential non-restrictive relative clauses with which and what can appear to the left of their heads in limited (and distinct) syntactic contexts. These lexical and syntactic constraints are represented within the framework of Sign-based Construction Grammar.

Among the properties of gradability, mass/count, and intersectivity, only intersectivity is syntactically relevant. The four classes of adjectives are motivated by the distribution of ordered/non-ordered adjectives, scope effects with certain adjective-pairs, PP-modification, N-dropping and comparatives (Bouchard 2002,

In this paper, I will present an empirical study on the use of the temporal adverbs nú and núna ‘now’ in Icelandic talk-in-interaction. The aim is to investigate whether the two words have different functions, and, if so, to describe these differences. As I will show, nú and núna show clear differences in respect to their syntactical distribution. Furthermore, I will argue, that the syntactic distribution also reflects differences on the functional level. While núna occurs in the end field and has a clear referential function, nú tends to occur in the front field and have closer ties to the fi

Abstract:

We examine a class of English reflexive pronouns that we call middle-distance reflexives. We show that while not occurring in direct argument positions, middle-distance reflexives can either be syntactically bound or be interpreted according to pragmatic and discourse conditions, suggesting that syntactic reflexives in American English extend beyond direct argument positions. We will also discuss uses of reflexives in British English and Chinese in comparison with those in American English. While these languages demonstrate variations in the distribution of syntactic reflexives and discourse r

Abstract:

In this paper I discuss attributive in Archi (Nakh-Daghestanian). Archi lacks an independent category of adjective and uses attributives instead. Attributives in Archi belong to a transpositional mixed category that can be formed from any of the four main parts of speech: nouns, verbs, ad verbs and postpositions. Based on a detailed analysis of their syntactic and morphological properties, I demonstrated that Archi attributives retain some of the morphosyntactic characteristics of their base category, whilst simultaneously having morphological and syntactic character-istics shared across trans

Abstract:

Syntactic processing was explored in individuals who stutter (IWS). Grammatic-ality judgments and event-related brain potentials (ERPs) were obtained while participants read sentences, half containing verb-agreement violations. Gram-maticality judgments for an offline verb-agreement task did not differ between IWS and normal speakers (NS). However, judgment accuracy of IWS for the online task was lower than that of NS, particularly for verb-agreement violations that occurred in longer and more syntactically complex sentences. Further, while NS exhibited a classic P600 ERP response to verb-agre

Abstract:

The paper discusses major theoretical issues concerning the adjectival category in both intralinguistic and crosslinguistic aspects. The basic semantic oppositions in the system of property-denoting lexical items are revealed; grammatical categories characteristic for adjectives are identified, generalizations on the syntactic distribution of adjectives are drawn. Special attention is paid to the issue of the structural position of adjectives and adjectival phrases within nominals.

Abstract:

Aluminum syntactic foams were fabricated by pressure-inﬁltrating liquid pure aluminum into packed preforms of cenosphere fly ash. The morphology, true density and porosity of fly ash microballoons were characterized. The microstructure of the syntactic foams demonstrated uniform distribution of the microballoons in the aluminum matrix and seldom infiltration of cenosphere fly ash. These foams were subjected to quasi-static uniaxial compression tests and behaved like high strength aluminum foams under compressive deformation, exhibiting an extended plateau region in the stress–strain curves.

Abstract:

AbstractA subject analysis of oblique subject-like arguments remains controversial even across modern languages where the available data are not finite: while such arguments are considered syntactic subjects in Icelandic, they have more often been analyzed as objects in Lithuanian, for example. This issue has been left relatively neglected for the ancient Indo-European languages outside of Sanskrit (Hock 1990), Gothic (Barðdal & Eythórsson 2012), and Ancient Greek (Danesi 2015). In this article, we address the status of oblique subject-like arguments in Old Irish, whose strict word-order e

Abstract:

Epoxy syntactic foams with different compositions of cenosphere were fabricated and characterised. The effect of loading cenosphere in epoxy syntactic foams was analysed. Good thermal stability of cenosphere–epoxy syntactic foams was established from the thermogravimetric analysis results. The completion of cure reaction at ambient temperature conditions was ascertained from differential scanning calorimetry results. Dynamic mechanical analysis revealed 114°C as the glass transition temperatures ( Tg) for neat epoxy sample, which increased to 132°C with 50% loading of cenosphere. Cenosphere-fi
