Genetic NPs and Habitual VPs
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a simple, intuitively satisfying t reatment of the semantics of bare plural NPs. This t reatment avoids the use of nons tandard logics, and avoids the need for systematic ambiguity of verb semantics.

Measuring and Comparing Individuals and Events
This squib investigates parallels between nominal and verbal comparatives. Building on key insights of Hackl (2001) and Bale and Barner (2009), we show that more behaves uniformly when it combines with nominal and verbal predicates: (i) it cannot combine with singular count NPs or perfective telic VPs; (ii) grammatical properties of the predicates determine the scale of comparison–plural marked...
متن کاملWhen pain really matters: A vicarious-pain brain marker tracks empathy for pain in the romantic partner.
In a previous study (Krishnan, 2016) we identified a whole-brain pattern, the Vicarious Pain Signature (VPS), which predicts vicarious pain when participants observe pictures of strangers in pain. Here, we test its generalization to observation of pain in a close significant other. Participants experienced painful heat (Self-Pain) and observed their romantic partner in pain (Partner-Pain). We m...
متن کاملShallow Parsing as Part-of-Speech Tagging
Treating shallow parsing as part-of-speech tagging yields results comparable with other, more elaborate approaches. Using the CoNLL 2000 training and testing material, our best model had an accuracy of 94.88%, with an overall FB1 score of 91.94%. The individual FB1 scores for NPs were 92.19%, VPs 92.70% and PPs 96.69%.
متن کاملFrom the Complex NP Constraint to everything: On deep extractions across categories
The article establishes a new generalization concerning domains from which extraction is possible. Taking as the starting point the well-known difference between NPs and VPs regarding extraction, where extraction from Complex NPs is not possible while extraction from Complex VPs is possible, the article argues that the former represents a pervasive pattern found in many contexts, the latter bei...
متن کاملRESERVOIR OPERATION OPTIMIZATION USING CBO, ECBO AND VPS ALGORITHMS
This paper utilizes the Colliding Bodies of Optimization (CBO), Enhanced Colliding Bodies of Optimization (ECBO) and Vibrating Particles System (VPS) algorithms to optimize the reservoir system operation. CBO is based on physics equations governing the one-dimensional collisions between bodies, with each agent solution being considered as an object or body with mass and ECBO utilizes memory to ...
