Change of Location and Change of State
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses possible parallels between change of location and change of state, involved in locomotive (Dmotion), change of state, and creation/removal verbs, examining cross-linguistic typological variation in lexical patterning and syntactic behaviors.1 Spatial uses of prepositions are closely connected with temporal uses, although the latter are more abstract and limited because of directionality and dimensionality (Bennett 1975). Change of state (qualities) is structurally associated with change of location, with its Source and Goal. Change always means a shift from ¤P to P in state as well as in location in time. But the change of state (quality) is more abstract. When change of state becomes psychological, it becomes even more abstract. As seen in build tension or its Korean (K) equivalent kincangkam-ul coseng-hata, indirect constitutive causation changes to experienced (direct) causation and does not need any part of the object such as ‘material’ (from a default argument). This is ‘derived unaccusativity’ (Pustejovsky and Busa 1995). This allows for modification by the degree adverbial maywu ‘very’ in K. Imperfective paradox disappears because there is no telicity involved any more.

Does the Appendix Location Change During Pregnancy?
Background: Early diagnosis of appendicitis is important during pregnancy. Unlike omentom, cecum and appendix are not likely to be displaced by the growing uterus, so the concept of position change of the appendix during pregnancy is questionable. Objective: To determine the anatomical location of appendix during pregnancy. Methods: In a prospective study from October 1995 to March 1999, 291 w...

متن کاملChange Point Estimation of the Stationary State in Auto Regressive Moving Average Models, Using Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Singular Value Decomposition-based Filtering
In this paper, for the first time, the subject of change point estimation has been utilized in the stationary state of auto regressive moving average (ARMA) (1, 1). In the monitoring phase, in case the features of the question pursue a time series, i.e., ARMA(1,1), on the basis of the maximum likelihood technique, an approach will be developed for the estimation of the stationary state’s change...
