Polarity particles revisited

Polarity particles revisited

Claus, Meijer, Repp, and Krifka (2017) present novel experimental evidence concerning polarity particle responses in German, and discuss the challenges these findings raise for three approaches to such responses, namely the saliency account in Krifka (2013), the feature model in Roelofsen and Farkas (2015) (henceforth R&F), and the ellipsis approaches in Kramer and Rawlins (2012), Holmberg (201...

Stochastic aggregation of point particles revisited . Oleg

In the present letter we employ the method of the dynamical renormalisation group to compute the average mass distribution of aggregating point particles in 2 dimensions in the regime when the effects of local mass distribution fluctuations are essential. PACS numbers: 05.10.Cc, 82.20.Mj.

Polarity Particles and the Anatomy of N-words∗

Two major approaches to n-words, e.g., no and never in (1) below, have been pursued in the previous literature. The negative indefinite (NI) approach takes n-words to be indefinite expressions within the scope of a sentential negation operator (Penka, 2007, Zeijlstra, 2004, Tubau, 2008:a.o.) and analyzes sentence (1a) below as shown in (2). The negative quantifier (NQ) approach takes n-words to...

QUICKSELECT Revisited

We give an overview of the running time analysis of the random divide-and-conquer algorithm FIND or QUICKSELECT. The results concern moments, distribution of FIND’s running time, the limiting distribution, a stochastic bound and the key: a stochastic fixed point equation.
