conclusions the findings of this study are in accordance with findings from previous studies, and generally show a meaningful association between schema, emotion regulation, dissociative experiences, and suicide ideation with borderline personality features. results the results showed a significant positive correlation between schema, emotion regulation, dissociative experiences and suicide ide...

In this paper, I discuss the cases of schema conflicts in the process of combination of primitive schemas. I claim that a functional schema overcomes a configurational schema in a case of the conflict of the two schemas. I also show that a more abstract functional schema wins over a less abstract or more concrete schema when two functional schemas conflict with each other.

The paper addresses the interface between lexical and constructional semantics in the Chinese băconstruction. Specifically, I focus on the distribution of the construction with the verb 看 (see) in its basic sense of physical vision. Under assumption of the affectedness constraint which is often stated for the bă-construction, the use of this verb would presumably lead to a semantic conflict bet...

Adolf Seilacher’s major contribution to our understanding of the evolution of morphology has been to emphasize that function is an important, but far from complete, explanation of organic form. Recognizing the influence of phylogeny and architecture in addition to adaptation, Seilacher formalized this realization in 1970 as “Konstruktions–Morphologie” (constructional morphology). This “triangul...

This paper explores specific issues concerning linguistic theory and the use of simplicity criteria in the early Transformational Generative Grammar literature. In particular, the influence of Nelson Goodman and Willard Van Orman Quine upon the work of Noam Chomsky during the 1950s is assessed. The main topics considered include the development of constructional system theory, the use of mechan...

Shoreline geomorphology, shoreline stratigraphy, and radiocarbon dates of organic material incorporated in constructional beach ridges record large lakes during the late Pleistocene and late Holocene in the Pyramid Lake subbasin of Lake Lahontan, Nevada, USA. During the late Holocene, a transgression began at or after 3595 F 35 C yr B.P. and continued, perhaps in pulses, through 2635 F 40 C yr ...
