the question of essentials or principles of quranic exegesis is among major discussions of quranic sciences. essentials of exegesis, i.e., definite beliefs accepted by the commentator, play some role in the process of one’s commentary, as acceptance or otherwise of such principles may cause specific approach to the commentary creating different interpretations of same verses. there are so many ...

Sometimes history is a Morse function. Inflection points arrive, unanticipated, and in the blink of an eye, present reality our expectations for future are redefined. The assassinations John F. Kennedy Martin Luther King Jr. 1960s, Tiananmen Square fall Berlin Wall 1989, World Trade Center attacks 2001—all occupied mere seconds, minutes, or, at most, few days; each changed trajectory history.

Rich verbal inflection has been argued (a) to license pro-drop (e.g. Safir 1985); (b) to be connected to overt Verb-second (Platzack & Holmberg 1989; van Gelderen 1993; Roberts 1996); and (c) to activate the AGR(eement) and T(ense) positions (Bobaljik & Jonas 1996). The connections in (b) and (c) follow if one assumes that the relationship between morphology and syntax is a direct one: elements...

How children acquire knowledge of verb inflection is a long-standing question in language acquisition research. In the present study, we test the predictions of some current constructivist and generativist accounts of the development of verb inflection by focusing on data from two Spanish-speaking children between the ages of 2;0 and 2;6. The constructivist claim that children's early knowledge...

Variables assessed included (1) inflection point, (2) compliance index (CI), and (3) modified compliance index (MCI). These variables are illustrated in Figure 2. Inflection point was defined as the point of intersection of the linear portions. CI was defined as the difference in displacements at 67 and 89 N of anterior force [2]. MCI was defined as the compliance of post-inflection stiffness o...
