Local Dependencies in Comparative Deletion
نویسنده
چکیده
The focus of this paper is the derivation and interpretation of comparative deletion (CD) in English. Comparative deletion constructions include comparatives in which the comparative clause (the complement of than or as, henceforth the ‘c-clause’) contains some clausal material, but is “missing” an adjectival, adverbial or nominal constituent, as illustrated by (1)-(3), (4)-(5), and (6)-(7), respectively (see Bresnan (1975) for general discussion of this phenomenon).

A Methodology for Unified Assessment of Physical and Geographical Dependencies of Wide Area Measurement Systems in Smart Grids
Wide Area Measurement Systems (WAMS) enable real time monitoring and control of smart grids by combining digital measurement devices, communication and control systems. As WAMS consist of various infrastructures, they imply complex dependencies among their underlying systems and components of different types, such as cyber, physical and geographical dependencies. Although several works exist in...
متن کاملUsing First-Order Logic to Compress Sentences

متن کاملFirst step immersion in interval linear programming with linear dependencies
We consider a linear programming problem in a general form and suppose that all coefficients may vary in some prescribed intervals. Contrary to classical models, where parameters can attain any value from the interval domains independently, we study problems with linear dependencies between the parameters. We present a class of problems that are easily solved by reduction to the classi...
