This paper proposes two syntax-semantics correspondence rules which consistently account for the distribution of Japanese locative postpositions ni and de. We demonstrate how to adapt the machinery of the occurrence of the postpositions based on the assumption of Conceptual Semantics (Jackendoff, 1983; 1990; 1991) to fit the organization of Japanese grammar. The correspondence rules correlate w...

The problem of solvability of infinite games is closely connected with the classical question of uniformization of relations by functions of a given class. We work out this connection and discuss recent results on infinite games that are motivated by the uniformization problem. The fundamental problem in the effective theory of infinite games was posed by Church in 1957 (“Church’s Problem”; see...

UNLABELLED Dopamine is a neurotransmitter with an important role in forming long-lasting memories for some time, especially in episodic memory. Literature data show that dopamine receptor stimulation may be detrimental to spatial working memory functions in lab animals. (R)-(+)-7-Chloro-8-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepine hydrochloride derivative--SCH-23390 is a synt...

Background and Objective: Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a major polyphenolic component of coffee. Reduction in the risk of a variety of diseases following CGA consumption has been mentioned in recent studies. The effect of CGA on learning and memory in rats with cognitive deficit induced by intracerebroventricular streptozotocin (STZ) and  acetylchoinesterase (AChE) activity was evaluated in this s...

The abstractness of children’s early syntactic representations has been questioned in the recent acquisition literature. While some research has suggested that children’s knowledge of basic constructions such as the transitive is robust and abstract at a very young age, other work has proposed that young children only have constructions that are specific to individual lexical items. The present...

We show that every formula of the existential fragment of monadic second-order logic over picture models (i.e., nite, two-dimensional , coloured grids) is equivalent to one with only one existential monadic quantiier. The corresponding claim is true for the class of word models ((Tho82]) but not for the class of graphs ((Ott95]). The class of picture models is of particular interest because it ...

There are three dative constructions in Chinese. A verb may be present in just one, in two, or in all three constructions. A pattern can be captured in the constructional approach. While the constructions all carry a sense of transfer, they differ in terms of range of transfer and argument role of the dative object or the gei object. The constructional view also provides an account of the patte...
