In this study the technique of semantic clause coordination in 20 Daghestanian languages (DLs) is explored. (Semantic) clause coordination is a (usually biclausal) construction activating cognitively conjugate events occurring simultaneously or sequentially. In accordance with that, there is typically coreference between participants of the two clauses, e.g. The boyi beat the girl and Øi went a...

1. INTRODUCTION. In this paper I examine the relationship between case marking and S, A, and O in spoken Sinhala. I will demonstrate that case roles are not assigned on the basis of grammatical relations, but rather they depend on a series of semantic and lexical principles including volitivity, animacy, semantic roles, and definiteness. This paper will furthermore provide evidence for S, A, an...

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...

BACKGROUND Colour-marking polymorphism is widely distributed among cryptic species. To account for the adaptive significance of such polymorphisms, several hypotheses have been proposed to date. Although these hypotheses argue over the degree of camouflage effects of marking morphs (and the interactions between morphs and their microhabitat backgrounds), as far as we know, most empirical eviden...

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...

This work aims at introducing some energy operators linked to the Teager-Kaiser energy operator and expands it from time to space in the real domain. We then show the decomposition of the functions of space and time differentiable at least twice in R using those energy operators. The second part of the work focuses on using the energy operators to redefine the general wave equation. The method ...

In this paper, we study the behavior and sensitivity analysis of the solution set for a new system of extended generalized nonlinear quasivariational inclusions with (A, η)-accretive mappings in q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. The present results improve and extend many known results in the literature. Mathematics Subject Classification: 49J40; 47H05; 90C33
