Modern society bears a heavy burden of medico-social pathology particularly amongst its young. The size, nature and costs of the sexually transmitted disease element is now considerable and dwarfs such successes as have been achieved. In the belief that the structure of a society and the way that structure functions determines the size of its STD problem, a review of Ancient Greek society has b...

We present deterministic upper and lower bounds on the slowdown required to simulate an (n;m)-PRAM on a variety of networks. The upper bounds are based on a novel scheme that exploits the splitting and combining of messages. This scheme can be implemented on an n-node d-dimensional mesh (for constant d) and on an n-leaf pruned butter y and attains the smallest worst-case slowdown to date for su...

In Condoravdi & Kiparsky 2001 we traced two paths of grammaticalization in the evolution of Greek clause structure: the reduction of Wackernagel (X) clitic pronouns to word-level affixes via an intermediate stage of word-level (X) clitics, and the emergence of auxiliaries and mood markers as heads of new functional projections. The two trajectories are connected in that the positioning of X cli...

‘Languages are differently equipped to express different realworld relations, and they certainly do not express all aspects of meaning with equal ease” (Ivir, 1981:56). This paper is a case study that seeks to examine this statement through exploring the equivalence of passive voice in translation of English into Greek. The source text is ‘9/11’ by Chomsky, (2001) and its Greek translation by M...
