This study reexamines the semantics of the Portuguese Present Perfect and proposes ananalysis of this periphrastic past that does not appeal to type-shifting coercionmechanisms. Aspectual coercion was claimed to explain purported mismatches betweenselection restrictions of the Portuguese Present tense and the aspectual properties of thePerfect (Schmitt 2001). The present stu...

Similar Meaning Often a number of means (including various cases) are used to express a set of similar conceptswith overlapping or contiguous meanings. For example, Russian has many ways to expressdirectionality in the domain of intention (many of which are roughly equivalent to English ‘for’),among them the prepositions v, na, pro, and za with the accusative case, do, dlja, radi wi...

ing from the examples we have seen,topologists define twisted cohomology theoriesas follows. In a reasonable category of spaces(say those homotopy equivalent to CW com-plexes), any cohomology theory X 7→ E∗(X) isrepresentable by a representing object E calleda spectrum. (There is no connection withthe spectrum of an element of a Banach al-gebra, or the word “spec...

We tested and confirmed the hypothesis that the prior presentation of nonwords in lexical decision is the net result of two opposing processes:(1) a relatively fast inhibitory process based on global familiarity, and (2) a relatively slow facilitatory process based on the retrieval of specific episodic information. In three studies, we manipulated speed-stress to influence the balance between t...

Recent proposals for creating digital scholarly editions (DSEs) through the crowdsourcing oftranscriptions and collaborative scholarship, for the establishment of national repositories ofdigital humanities data, and for the referencing, sharing, and storage of DSEs, have underlinedthe need for greater data interoperability. The TEI Guidelines have tried to establish standardsfor...

The electrical potentials of the His bundle (HB) were recorded from the left ventricular endocardial surface in 28 patients ranging from 16 to 63 years of age. In 14 of the patients the left bundle branch (LB) potentials were also obtained. Placement of a bipolar electrode catheter tip toward the interventricular septum, right at and also 1 to 2 cm below the aortic valve, resulted in stable rec...

Grothendieck proved that if f : X −→ Y is a proper morphism ofnice schemes, then Rf∗ has a right adjoint, which is given as tensor productwith the relative canonical bundle. The original proof was by patching localdata. Deligne proved the existence of the adjoint by a global argument, andVerdier showed that this global adjoint may be computed locally.In this article we show ...

Complex predicates raise the question of how to encode them in computational lexicons. Theircomputational implementation in South Asian languages is in its infancy. This paper examinesin detail the variety of complex predicates in Telugu revealing the syntactic process of theircomposition and the constraints on their formation. The framework used is First Phase Syntax(Ramcha...

The change from single to multiword speech has often been related to lexical growth (e.g. recently, Anisfeld et al., 1998; Caselli et al., 1999) and to children's production of transitional phenomena, in particular, Successive Single-Word Utterances hitherto SSWUs (e.g., Bloom, 1973; Greenfield & Smith, 1976; Ochs et al., 1979; Scollon, 1979; Veneziano et al., 1990). This paper aims to determin...
