Argument Encoding and the Order of Elementary Operations
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of this paper is to outline the core of a new minimalist analysis of accusative vs. ergative patterns of argument encoding (via case marking or agreement). The central observation is that indeterminacies may arise in the application of the two elementary operations Merge and Agree (see Chomsky (2000, 2001)), given that they both obey an Earliness requirement (see Pesetsky (1989)); and the central claim I would like to put forward is that a principled resolution of one such indeterminacy (on the vP cycle) in one or the other direction yields an accusative or ergative encoding pattern for arguments.

An Effective Numerical Technique for Solving Second Order Linear Two-Point Boundary Value Problems with Deviating Argument
Based on reproducing kernel theory, an effective numerical technique is proposed for solving second order linear two-point boundary value problems with deviating argument. In this method, reproducing kernels with Chebyshev polynomial form are used (C-RKM). The convergence and an error estimation of the method are discussed. The efficiency and the accuracy of the method is demonstrated on some n...

متن کاملTRIANGULAR FUZZY MATRICES
In this paper, some elementary operations on triangular fuzzynumbers (TFNs) are defined. We also define some operations on triangularfuzzy matrices (TFMs) such as trace and triangular fuzzy determinant(TFD). Using elementary operations, some important properties of TFMs arepresented. The concept of adjoints on TFM is discussed and some of theirproperties are. Some special types of TFMs (e.g. pu...
