The Proto-Semitic genitive ending on triptotic nouns is commonly reconstructed as *-im (unbound state)/*-i (bound state). In Akkadian, however, this case long -ī- before pronominal suffixes. Since the length of vowel unexplained, I argue that it original and Akkadian bound state -i should also be *-ī, explaining its retention in word-final position. This form seems more than Proto-West-Semitic ...

On Computing Subcategorization Frames of French Deverbal Nouns (Case of Genitive) Fine dependency analysis needs exact information on the subcategoriziation frames of lexical units. These frames being well studied for the verbs, we are interested in this paper by the case of the noun deverbals. Our main goal is to calculate the subcategoriziation frame of deverbals in French from that of the so...

Using Tagalog as a case study, this paper provides an analysis of a cross-linguistically well attested phenomenon, namely, cases in which a bare NP’s syntactic position is linked to its interpretation as definite or indefinite. Previous approaches to this phenomenon, including analyses of Tagalog, appeal to specialized interpretational rules like Diesing’s Mapping Hypothesis. I argue that such ...

In sentence comprehension research, the case system, which is one of the subsystems of the language processing system, has been assumed to play a crucial role in signifying relationships in sentences between noun phrases (NPs) and other elements, such as verbs, prepositions, nouns, and tense. However, so far, less attention has been paid to the question of how cases are processed in our brain. ...

The author analyses the case paradigm of Polish and Macedonian languages states that this paradigm, continuing old tradition classical languages, is composed three different segments: adverbal cases, adnominal (Genitive) “deontic” (Vocative); core set trio N-D-A – a confirmation anthropocentric character language

Nine Greek preschool children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) were compared to age-matched (CA) and language-matched (LA) typically-developing children on their production of a) third person object clitic pronouns, b) definite articles and c) genitive possessive clitics, through novel picture-based elicitation tasks. The aims were to examine whether these structures are impaired in Gree...

Many friends of the category of particularised qualities subscribe to the view that particularised qualities have a unique bearer in which they inhere; no such quality then can inhere in two different entities. But it seems that this idea is flawed, for there are apparent counterexamples. An apple’s redness is identical with the redness of its skin, though the apple is distinct from its skin. S...
