This article presents novel data on partial casemarking in Japanese stripping/sluicing: only the final NP in multiple stripping/sluicing may lack a case particle. These data challenge previous works that assign radically distinct structures to stripping/sluicing depending on whether or not case-marking is involved. These case-marking patterns are reducible to incremental growth of semantic repr...

The observation that not all grammatical realizations in heritage languages can be attributed to transfer from a dominant language has been emphasized several recent works. This paper provides further arguments this direction Romanian. As opposed standard Romanian, the Romanian data examined here do exhibit restriction which blocks overt definiteness on differentially marked object (DOM), when ...

BACKGROUND Although there is published research on the methods markers use in marking various types of assessment, there is relatively little information on the processes markers use in approaching a marking exercise. This qualitative paper describes the preparation and experiences of general practice (GP) teachers who undertake marking a written assessment in an undergraduate medical course. ...

The morphological and syntactic facts from Georgian create a unique puzzle for the study of sentence processing. The word order is characterized by considerable freedom and case marking is not uni-directionally associated with θroles. This article presents a grammatical account of Georgian case marking and a study on incremental sentences processing. The empirical findings show that case is ind...

We present a simple flow level model that helps in understanding the effects of various DiffServ traffic conditioning methods on bandwidth sharing among elastic TCP flows. We concentrate on a single backbone link and consider a static case, where the number of TCP flows is fixed. In a Relative Service approach, the bandwidth share θ of a flow should be proportional to a weight φ assigned to the...

Abstract Active scent marking with urine has been described in a number of mammal species, including felids. In Eurasian lynx ( Lynx ), plays role intra-sexual competition and territory defence as well attracting sexual partners during the mating season. Marking is most frequent season least period when females give birth lactate. Males generally mark more frequently than resident animals dispe...
