چکیده
My objective in this paper i s to provide a contrastive analysis of partitives in English and Italian. The differences between these two languages appear to be representat ive of the di fferences prevail ing throughout the Romance and Germanic families and thus i t is hoped that the analysis to be offered wil l be of more general appl icabil i ty . I will couch my proposal within an approach to D(eterminer) P(hrase) structure and its crosslinguistic variation developed in Chierchia ( l 995b, 1 996) , approach which wi l l be informally summarized below. In both Italian and English, one finds partitive constructions of the following sort:

متن کاملTargeted Capture of Phylogenetically Informative Ves SINE Insertions in Genus Myotis
Identification of retrotransposon insertions in nonmodel taxa can be technically challenging and costly. This has inhibited progress in understanding retrotransposon insertion dynamics outside of a few well-studied species. To address this problem, we have extended a retrotransposon-based capture and sequence method (ME-Scan [mobile element scanning]) to identify insertions belonging to the Ves...
