Gestaltist Semantic Compositionality in Chinese V-V Compounds

In traditional analysis, the constructions of Chinese V-V compounds are generally categorized, according to the grammatical relation between the component V’s, into three major types: coordination (並列式), modifier-head (偏正式) and verb-complement (述補式). Though the widely accepted categorization criteria seem to be simple and straightforward, linguists could often come to completely different judgm...

A Computational Treatment of V-V Compounds in Japanese

We examine how a large-scale computational grammar can account for the complex nature of Japanese verbal compounds. Previous computational Japanese grammars have tried to avoid the problem by simple solutions such as enumerating as many verbal compounds in the lexicon as possible. In contrast, we develop the analysis that is linguistically adequate and computationally tractable and thus meets t...

Biologically active compounds from marine organisms.

During the past 30 to 40 years, numerous novel compounds have been isolated from marine organisms and many of these have been reported to have biological activities, some of which are of interest from the point of view of potential drug development. On the other hand, some of the compounds pose potential risks to human health. In this latter category are the paralytic, diarrhetic and amnesic sh...

Oligonucleotides and polynucleotides as biologically active compounds.

Nucleic acids are involved in the most important processes occurring in living cells and possess an enormous potential for specific interactions with different biopolymers. Specificity of recognition of DNA and RNA species by complementary nucleic acids is unique in the world of biopolymers. A great number of the proteins involved in processes of replication, transcription, and translation are ...
