Location, location, location: Anaphor selection in English locative prepositional phrases

نویسندگان

چکیده

This paper presents experimental work on the relative naturalness of subject-oriented reflexives (herself) and pronouns (her) in English locative prepositional phrases (e.g., Michele set a glass next to her/herself). Syntactic approaches anaphor licensing have tended focus lack complementarity such constructions; however, it has long been observed that preferences between forms may depend verb meaning (change location vs. perception possession) spatial relation (+contact -contact), with very strong reported some cases. study aims clarify extent which these two factors shape choice. Results confirm both play significant role: are most natural expression change direct contact, while pattern oppositely. Importantly, less stark than those found constructions where syntactic constraints assumed render one form ungrammatical. I suggest findings favor treatment anaphora takes event structure into account.

Contextual processing of locative prepositional phrases

This paper deals with contextual aspects of locative preposition processing. Firstly, accordingly to a study on the referential behavior of the pronominal adverb ”y” in its locative uses, we show that static locative prepositions are functions, not only at the conceptual level (as shown in previous studies), but also from a contextual point of view. Such functions introduce new objects in the d...

Intra-abdominal fat is an established risk factor for the metabolic syndrome. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Tran et al. (2008) test the cell-autonomous and location-related properties of transplanted intra-abdominal and subcutaneous fat depots. While subcutaneous fat seems to confer metabolic benefits, species differences in adipose biology justify caution in interpreting the results.

Although high levels of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) generally correlate with good prognosis in high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) patients, little is known about the phenotype or specificity of these cells. We have recently demonstrated that TIL expressing the intra-epithelial lymphocyte marker CD103 (official name, integrin αE, ITGAE) abundantly infiltrate HGSCs, strongly correl...

Metastatic cell heterogeneity presents a significant obstacle to the development of targeted molecular and immunotherapeutics. Profiling of melanocyte differentiation antigens has revealed a nonstochastic, site-specific pattern of expression in metastases that was highest in brain, intermediate in soft tissues/lymph nodes, and lowest in visceral sites. Site-specific antigen heterogeneity, thus,...
