چکیده

Research on generic bare plurals has frequently pointed out that even though they refer to the whole class, in characterizing sentences (e.g. birds fly) commonly license exceptions (Krifka et al. 1995). While quantification and probability models have failed account for all uses, present chapter argues “generics-as-default” approach of psychologists Leslie 2007) provides a more convincing frame. It further generalization does not concern just plurals, but also specific ones: convey “homogenization.” The study introduces key notion “negligibility” exception management. Analyses examples context show role speaker knowledge beliefs, as well contextual perspective, establishing what is negligible or not.

But most other felids — for example, leopards, cougars, tigers, bobcats and lynx — are also infanticidal, yet they are all solitary. The true hallmark of lion sociality is their joint defe...

Romans type IIA theory and the heterotic strings

In this paper we study T 2 compactification of six-dimensional massive type IIA supergravity in presence of Ramond-Ramond background fluxes. The resulting theory in four dimensions is shown to possess SL(2, R)×SL(2, R)×O(4, 20) duality symmetry. It is shown that specific elements of this symmetry relate massive type IIA compactified on K3 × T 2 (fluxes along K3) to the ordinary type IIA compact...
