چکیده
More recently, Deprez and Pierce (1993) offered an explanation for Klima and Bellugi’s stages based on a parameter-setting model of Universal Grammar (UG) (Chomsky 1981). Deprez and Pierce proposed that the subject raising parameter is initially set to allow the subject to remain inside VP. According to Deprez and Pierce, sentences containing “external negation” result when the subject fails to raise from its base position in Spec VP, as illustrated by the structure in (3):

متن کاملPriority Setting for Universal Health Coverage: We Need Evidence-Informed Deliberative Processes, Not Just More Evidence on Cost-Effectiveness
Priority setting of health interventions is generally considered as a valuable approach to support low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in their strive for universal health coverage (UHC). However, present initiatives on priority setting are mainly geared towards the development of more cost-effectiveness information, and this evidence does not sufficiently support countries to make optimal...

Universal health coverage (UHC) is high on the global health agenda, and priority setting is fundamental to the fair and efficient pursuit of this goal. In a recent editorial, Rob Baltussen and colleagues point to the need to go beyond evidence on cost-effectiveness and call for evidence-informed deliberative processes when setting priorities for UHC. Such processes are crucial at every step on...
متن کاملTask-Specific Artifacts of Parametric Properties in English as a Second Language Acquired by Persian-Speaking Learners
This experimental study investigated the learners’ integrative acquisition of obligatory overt subjects and subject-verb clause agreement in English as an L2. In L1 acquisition research, correlations between superficially unrelated linguistic phenomena are analyzed in terms of integrative effects. For instance, in English L1 acquisition, there is evidence for an integrative appearance of subjec...
