This paper presents applications of a technique for estimating influences of the Channel Bias on phonological typology called Bootstrapping Sound Changes (BSC). Following Author (2017), we argue that for any synchronic alternation, the BSC technique enables estimation of the probability that the alternation arises based on the number of sound changes it requires and their respective probabiliti...

This paper examines the conjoint/disjoint alternation in matrix verbs which take clausal complements Zulu. It shows that typical by default disjoint form with a complement are factive verbs, though it is also clear other attitude can undergo alternation. The explores connection between focus and Zulu under Question Under Discussion (QUD) approach, to help understand interpretations associated a...

Turbulent particle-laden flows have a widespread presence in industrial and natural processes. In this context, when gravity is present question that arises how the particles will settle. work, we show Rouse Reynolds numbers seem to describe settling dynamics under homogeneous isotropic turbulence. Our claim supported by ours as well previous experimental datasets available literature.

Abstract The aim of this article is to investigate a special case suppletion in the paradigm negative imperative some dialects southern Calabria. First, we show how these paradigms involve extension an original infinitival desinence present indicative verb, giving rise hybrid imperatival form (Section 2). Second, claim that pattern does not represent Romance-internal development but, rather, ou...

Programs in quantum gravity often claim that time emerges from fundamentally timeless physics. In the semiclassical program, arises only after approximations are taken. Here we ask what justifies taking these and show seems to sneak when answering this question. This raises worry approach is either unjustified or circular deriving no-time.
