Complex development environments which use languages of diverse styles and purposes have special problems efficiently managing their data. Generally there are two alternatives; first, marking the text with extra codes, and second, using a tool capable of structuring the data, such as an object management system. For many purposes, something between the two is appropriate, in which plain text fi...

interface. The Failable interface has methods for marking, unmarking, and checking whether the object’s data are allowed to experience bit flips. FTGMRES mark failability of the relevant objects on entry to the inner solver, and unmarks them on exit. We describe below how we implemented this high-level interface using the low-level application / OS interface presented in Section 9. Trilinos is ...

Negation is known to correlate with changes of word order, agreement, or case marking in the clause. I present data from Skou, a language of north-central New Guinea, which show obliques and adjuncts appearing postverbally in the SOV positive clause and preverbally in negative clauses. Moreover, in addition to these changes in the order of constituents, the grammatical functions assigned in the...

In this paper, we investigate the interaction between semantic parameters and morphological constraints in determining the distribution of the accusative case marker-(y)I in Turkish. This marker is often discussed as an instance of differentiated object marking (DOM). The account of accusative marking based on a functional interpretation of DOM assumes that the case suffix marks a direct object...

Nested loop execution of object-oriented queries retains the promise of maintaining the full generality of the object paradigm, independent of the speciics of any single object model. Thus, from this starting point we have developed an object-oriented query optimizer and execution engine. The methods, developed to date for only acyclic queries, augment nested loops structures with a simple mark...

The current study examined how German speakers described a scene where an agent acts upon patient when the of event was cued (a red dot preceding patient, Experiment 1 vs. preview 2). Prior research has shown that effects attention manipulation on syntactic choice display cross-linguistic variation with notable differences between languages have morphological case marking noun phrases and Engli...

The paper deals with the typology of the case marking of semantic core roles. The competing economy considerations of hearer (disambiguation) and speaker (minimal effort) are formalized in terms of evolutionary game theory. It will be shown that the case marking patterns that are attested in the languages of the world are those that are evolutionary stable for different relative weightings of s...

In Kannada, ditransitives with benefactive morphology cannot have a reflexive indirect object, or have reflexive marking on the verb. This paper seeks to explain why. We argue that the benefactive structure, when its indirect object is a locally bound anaphor, is subject to two conflicting requirements. The anaphor must be local to its antecedent, and the direct object must be local to its Case...
