NPI Licensing in Temporal Clauses
This paper offers a systematic approach to NPI licensing in temporal clauses based on a uniform analysis of temporal connectives as relations between times and relying on appropriate type shifting for compositional buildup.

متن کاملAre Licensing Agreements Appropriate Instruments to Cut Through the Patent Thicket?
We study whether licensing agreements can help firms to cut through the patent thicket and to prevent hold-up problems. Using a data set covering the semiconductor industry between 1989 and 1999, descriptive results reveal a puzzling picture: while the number of patents more than doubled over the time period, the number of licensing agreements followed an inverse U-shape. This relationship is s...

Putting these two claims together, we have evidence that Uyghur exhibits agreement and case-assignme...

The usual disclaimer applies...
