Verb-Particle Constructions in Questions

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of verb-particle constructions in English questions. We present a small dataset that contains questions and verb-particle construction candidates. We demonstrate that there are significant differences in the distribution of WH-words, verbs and prepositions/particles in sentences that contain VPCs and sentences that contain only verb + prepositional phr...

Twenty Questions for the Final

1. (a) Let (X, ‖ · ‖) and (Y, ‖ · ‖) be normed spaces. Show that the following conditions on a family T ⊆ L(X, Y ) are logically equivalent: (1) {‖T ‖ : T ∈ T} is bounded in R; (2) {T : T ∈ T} is equicontinuous at some point of X ; (3) {T : T ∈ T} is equicontinuous at 0 ∈ X ; (4) {T : T ∈ T} is equicontinuous at every point of X . (This order may not be the most efficient one to prove round-rob...

the effects of cooperative versus individual directed reading thinking activities on students inferential and referential questions

two groups of students were assigned as experimental and control ones, and were given instruction on directed reading-thinking activities and after some treatment, they were post-tested. although the initial pre-test did not show any significant differences, the final post-test result revealed that the cooperative reading comprehension helped the experimental group. the cooperative students’...

Phonetic effects of speaking style on final rises in German questions and statements

Potential intonational means to distinguish questions from statements in German are typically attributed to some sort of final rising pitch [10, 24, 30, 36]. However, final rises are neither characteristic for every question type (e. g. wh-questions, alternative questions) nor compulsory in any [25, 32, 34]. Furthermore, they are frequently associated with non-final statements and thus not rest...
