Coptic Circumstantial Periphrasis

Inflectional periphrasis in Persian

Modern Persian conjugation makes use of five periphrastic constructions. We contrast the properties of these five constructions and argue that they call for different analyses. We propose contrasting analyses relying on the combination of an HPSG approach to feature geometry and syntactic combination, and an approach to paradigm organization and morphological exponence based on Paradigm Functio...

Periphrasis as syntactic exponence

Lexicalism, periphrasis and implicative morphology1

Several other chapters in this book analyze grammatical phenomena according to the architectural assumptions and constraint-based representational apparatus of lexicalist theories of grammar; in the present chapter, we ask some fundamental questions concerning what it means for a theory to be lexicalist. While critically assessing some consensus beliefs among lexicalists, this exploration will ...

Computational Methods for Coptic

This paper motivates and details the first implementation of a freely available part of speech tag set and tagger for Coptic. Coptic is the last phase of the Egyptian language family and a descendant of the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt. Unlike classical Greek and Latin, few resources for digital and computational work have existed for ancient Egyptian language and literature until now. We evalu...

[Vertical or circumstantial transmission?].

Si bien es una gran limitante el no haber realizado los exámenes complementarios mencionados (aislamiento viral, los hallazgos histopatológicos en la placenta), hubiese sido de gran valor el aislamiento del virus en aspirado traqueo-bronquial, ya que este es más específico (2). El hallazgo de un PCR positivo en un hisopado nasal dentro del contexto de una pandemia no necesariamente indica que e...
