Case and configurationality : scrambling or mapping ?
نویسنده
چکیده
Kanum, a language of southern New Guinea, displays nonconfigurationality only for arguments marked with an overt structural case. After examining a variety of constraints on scrambling, in main and subordinate clauses, I argue that nonconfigurationality is a process of scrambling, rather than independent mapping from functional structure to constituency, and further is dependent on features associated with overt morphological case, and that alternative accounts in terms of grammatical function identity cannot be sustained.

Cipher text only attack on speech time scrambling systems using correction of audio spectrogram
Recently permutation multimedia ciphers were broken in a chosen-plaintext scenario. That attack models a very resourceful adversary which may not always be the case. To show insecurity of these ciphers, we present a cipher-text only attack on speech permutation ciphers. We show inherent redundancies of speech can pave the path for a successful cipher-text only attack. To that end, regularities ...
متن کاملAn Efficient speech scrambling technique based on chaotic mapping and pseudorandom binary scrambling
To enhance the information security in network communications, this paper suggests a new speech scrambling algorithm based on random permutation, chaotic mapping and pseudo random binary scrambling.Firstly random permutation algorithm is used to shuffle the rows of the original speech followed by shuffling the rows using chaotic Bernoulli mapping. This produces an intermediary scrambled speech....
متن کاملScrambling as Case-Driven Obligatory Movement
In this thesis I explore the nature and properties of scrambling in Korean. Contrary to the widely accepted view that scrambling is truly optional, I propose that scrambling is a consequence of case-driven obligatory movement, a proposal consistent with the "last resort" condition on movement in [Chomsky 1991] and [Chomsky 1992]. I assume that scrambling is adjunction and defend this view in Ch...
متن کاملNP Ellipsis and Parameters: An Acquisitional Perspective
Within the Principles-and-Parameters approach to UG (including the recent Minimalist Program), the process of language acquisition is interpreted as the process of fixing the values of parameters in one of the permissible ways (see e.g. Chomsky 1995:6). Under this view, the data from child language can (in principle) be especially valuable, in evaluating the parameters proposed through the inve...
متن کاملBare Nominals: Non-specific and Contrastive Readings under Scrambling
This article explores the empirical validity of the generalization that scrambling of indefinites correlates with the loss of non-specific readings. There are two issues relevant to the generalization that have not been fully investigated in previous literature. The first is the status of contrastive readings, which do survive scrambling. If contrastive readings are non-specific, and it is argu...
