It is well known that in sluicing constructions wh-dependencies can cross certain projectionsthat are otherwise barriers to movement (Ross 1969, Chomsky 1972). This fact would follow under the assumption that the relevant barriers are somehow deactivated when phonologically deleted (‘‘island repair’ ’ ). The problem, however, is that another form of phonologicaldeletion (VP-ellipsis;VPE) seems ...

METHODS A descriptive comparative design was used to collect the data from a convenience sample of 349 nurses who were working in 7 hospitals in Jo...

Escherichia coli is the best-characterized organism with respect to posttranscriptional modifications of its ribosomal RNA (rRNA). It is presently believed that all the modified nucleotides have been identified, primarily on the basis of two detection methods; modification-induced inhibition of the enzyme reverse transcriptase or analysis by combined HPLC and electrospray ionization mass spectr...

In many domains of knowledge, from mechanics (McCloskey, 1983) to thermodynamics (Wiser, 1987) to astronomy (Vosniadou & Brewer, 1992), it has been claimed that conceptual development in the individual resembles theory change in the history of science. Here, Kampourakis takes issue with that claim in the domain of evolution. In particular, he argues (a) that early evolutionary theorists never c...

The need of appropriate methodological approaches in cognitive neuropsychology has been repeatedly addressed for over 30 years. Most of the debate has focused on whether single-case or group studies are more appropriate for drawing inferences with respect to an unimpaired cognitive architecture (e.g., Caramazza and McCloskey, 1988; Grodinsky et al., 1999). This controversy has not been resolved...

Over the generations, the popularity of the Austrian School’s approach to economics has risen, fallen, and risen again. Figure 1 represents a speculative guess at the “market share” of Austrian ideas among academic economists, where “Austrian” is broadly defined as individuals who believe in, or are at least highly sympathetic to, most of the core doctrine emanating from the Austrian School fou...

Learning to write strong introductions to journal articles is one of the most important skills to develop as an academic. However, most young scholars do not acquire this skill until they start piling up rejection letters, often with phrases like “poorly written,” “should be framed differently,” “not sure what the contribution is,” or “unclear why I should bother reading this.” (I speak from pe...
