Remarks on Prof. Leuba's Criticisms

Comments on Pullum's Criticisms

We are reasonably convinced by the remarks in Pullum (p. 182) that the sluicing construction, on which the argument in Postal and Langendoen (p. 177) for the non-CFhood of English is based, is not, contrary to what is assumed there, subject to an intrasentential matching condition. Consequently, the argument does not go through. However, we believe that an analogous argument can be given, which...

Remarks on microperiodic multifunctions

It is well known that a microperiodic function mapping a topological group into reals, which is continuous at some point is constant. We introduce the notion of a microperiodic multifunction, defined on a topological group with values in a metric space, and study regularity conditions implying an analogous result. We deal with Vietoris and Hausdorff continuity concepts.Stability of microperiodi...

Remarks on Distance-Balanced Graphs

Distance-balanced graphs are introduced as graphs in which every edge uv has the following property: the number of vertices closer to u than to v is equal to the number of vertices closer to v than to u. Basic properties of these graphs are obtained. In this paper, we study the conditions under which some graph operations produce a distance-balanced graph.

Some Remarks on Roeper’s Remarks on Chomsky’s ‘Remarks’

In his 1970 paper ‘Remarks on nominalization’, Noam Chomsky provided several arguments for the lexicalist hypothesis, namely the idea that nouns like refusal, rejection, growth, and so on are nouns throughout the entire syntactic derivation. Tom Roeper’s paper ‘Chomsky’s Remarks and the transformationalist hypothesis’ challenges the lexicalist hypothesis, arguing that such nouns are syntactical...
