In this paper, we discuss the CP domain of embedded clauses in Spanish, specifically in the realm of que+embedded question constructions first discussed in Plann 1982. We argue for the existence of (at least) two distinct CP layers (following previous work by Lahiri (2002) Demonte & FernándezSoriano (2009), and Suñer (1991, 1993)). Following Suñer (1991, 1993), we argue that there are two seman...

Tomb and Maitra (1926) as a result of their investigations concluded that the agglutinable vibrio found in the dejecta of cholera patients, and the non-agglutinable vibrio found in carriers and in natural waters contaminated with human faeces are one and the same organism. They arrived at this conclusion after inseminating tanks* with fresh cholera stools containing large numbers of agglutinabl...

This paper explores the role of exchange rate regimes in explaining deviations from the classic theory of purchasing power parity. Examining a broad panel of countries, I find that developing countries with fixed exchange rate regimes have significantly higher national price levels than those with flexible regimes. For industrial countries, the association between regimes and price levels is qu...

  Culture is an extremely complex concept. Translating cultural elements is a demanding task due to the fact that these elements comprise specific meanings and implications belonging exclusively to the lan-guage and culture from which they have emerged. Regarding this point, the present article investigated the strategies employed for translating culture-specific items (CSIs) in an English nov...

(2) σ(n) = σ(n−1)+σ(n−2)−σ(n−5)−σ(n−7)+σ(n−12)+σ(n−15)−... where the numbers 1,2,5,7,12,15,... appearing in the successive terms in (1)-(2) are the positive pentagonal numbers {vm} given by (3) vm = m(3m∓ 1)/2, m = 1, 2, ... In identities (1)-(2) we accept that p(m) = 0, σ(m) = 0 when m < 0. The only formal difference is that (1) is true with the understanding that (4) p(0) = 1, while (2) is va...

Stein’s method proves weak-convergence results through approximations to expectations without direct use of characteristic functions, allowing it to be used in complex problems with dependence. In this work we show how consistency can be proved and even some error terms provided for any bootstrap with exchangeable weights using Stein’s method. We say that the bootstrap works if the distance bet...
