The aim of this article is to describe the morpho-syntactic alternations Old English verbs inaction. method includes analysis syntactic constructions in which inaction are found and themselves, described as argumenthood, morphological case, prepositional government structural complexity. Two types alternation identified on basis affected argument. dative reflexive involve both first second argu...

The prevailing approach to understanding the syntactic mapping of arguments and argument alternations is to assume that verbs are organized into semantically distinct verb classes and that class membership determines the grammaticality of argument alternations. This paper presents syntactic evidence that verb-class membership cannot explain the causative and locative alternations, and that alte...

Introduction. One of the most contested debates in phonology concerns identifying factors that affect typology. The Analytic Bias approach (AB) claims that biases in learning affect the typology, while the Channel Bias approach (CB) assumes phonetic precursors and transmission of language affect the typology (Moreton 2008). Empirical evidence in favor of both hypotheses exists: processes that a...

During binocular rivalry, perception alternates between dichoptically presented incompatible images. With larger images, such perceptual alternations will typically start locally and then gradually spread across the image, known as traveling waves of perceptual dominance. Several image-features (such as local contrast) are known to determine where in the image a traveling wave originates. Here ...

Lava dome eruptions commonly display fairly regular alternations between periods of high activity and periods of low or no activity. The time scale for these alternations is typically months to several years. Here we develop a generic model of magma discharge through a conduit from an open-system magma chamber with continuous replenishment. The model takes account of the principal controls on f...

When visual input has conflicting interpretations, conscious perception can alternate spontaneously between competing interpretations [1]. There is a large amount of unexplained variability between individuals in the rate of such spontaneous alternations in perception [2-5]. We hypothesized that variability in perceptual rivalry might be reflected in individual differences in brain structure, b...

The evolution of antimicrobial resistance often occurs in a variable environment, as antimicrobial is given periodically to a patient or added and removed from a medium. This environmental variability has a huge impact on the microorganisms' fitness landscape, and thus on the evolution of resistance. Indeed, mutations conferring resistance often carry a fitness cost in the absence of antimicrob...
