Coordination in Japanese poses various puzzles which defy the standard notion of syntactic category. On the one hand, one can conjoin structures which one usually would not expect to form any constituent, and on the other hand, there are various conjunction particles that are sensitive to the kind of conjuncts that they combine with. In this paper we argue against abandoning the usual notion of...

The effects of consumerization are considered to be a major driver that redefines the relationship between employees (in terms of consumers of enterprise IT) and the IT organization.

Definition 1.1 T is small if for all n < ω, |Sn(∅)| ≤ ω. Remark 1.2 If T is small, then there is a countable L0 ⊆ L such that for every φ(x) ∈ L there is some φ′(x) ∈ L0 such that in T , φ(x) ≡ φ′(x). Hence, T is a definitional extension of the countable theory T0 = T L0. Proof: See Remark 14.25 in [4]. With respect to the second assertion, consider some n-ary relation symbol R ∈ LrL0. There is...

What do people think of when they think of “math?” We propose that individuals may have very different working definitions of the category of math, and that those with broader math conceptions may have less math anxiety. In Study 1, we introduce a method for indexing the “breadth” of individuals’ math conceptions, and show that there is an inverse relation between conception breadth and math an...
