Ethnohistory, genetics and simulation are used to propose a new ‘budding model’ to describe the historical processes by which complex irrigation communities may come into existence. We review two alternative theories, Wittfogel’s top-down state-formation theory and common-pool resource management, and suggest that a budding model would better account for existing archaeological and ethnographic...

Class-based approach to disambiguating Levin verbs

Lapata and Brew (2004) (hereafter LB04) obtain from untagged texts a statistical prior model that is able to generate class preferences for ambiguous Levin (1993) verbs (hereafter Levin). They also show that their informative priors, incorporated into a Naive Bayes classifier deduced from hand-tagged data, can aid in verb class disambiguation. We reanalyse LB04’s prior model and show that a sin...
