Universal Grammar and Chaos/Complexity Theory: Where Do They Meet And Where Do They Cross?
Abstract The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition. Then, the theory of "Universal Grammar" (UG) is explicated with an eye to C/CT. Firstly, it is revealed that CCT may or may not be allied with a theory of language acquisition that takes UG as the initial state of language acquisition for ...

متن کاملONLY: An NPI-licenser and NPI-unlicenser1
This paper looks at the distributional pattern of NPIs under the exclusive focus particle only. Despite the commonly accepted view that only can license an NPI that appears within the unfocused part of its immediate scope, Wagner (2006) observes evidence contra this view from both DP-only and VP-only: (i) DP-only does not license an NPI that appears within the unfocused part of its left argumen...
متن کاملONLY: An NPI-licenser and NPI-unlicenser
It is commonly argued that weak negative polarity items (NPIs) (e.g., any) can occur in any (Strawson) downward-entailing environment. This generalization, however, is challenged byWagner’s (2006) observations with the NPI-licenser only: although an only-clause is (Strawson) downward-entailing in its unfocused part, NPIs are not necessarily licensed there. In particular, DPonly does not license...
متن کاملOsteoclasts: what do they do and how do they do it?
As Americans live longer, degenerative skeletal diseases, such as osteoporosis, become increasingly prevalent. Regardless of cause, osteoporosis reflects a relative enhancement of osteoclast activity. Thus, this unique bone resorptive cell is a prominent therapeutic target. A number of key observations provide insights into the mechanisms by which precursors commit to the osteoclast phenotype a...
