Title of Dissertation: COMPETENCE AND PERFORMANCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRINCIPLE C Megan M. Sutton Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jeffrey Lidz Department of Linguistics In order to understand the nature of a given linguistic phenomena in the adult grammar, language acquisition research explores how children’s competence with respect to such a phenomena develops....

the nth order differential equation x + c (t )x + ƒ( t,x) = e(t),n>3 is considered. using the leray-schauder principle, it is shown that under certain conditions on the functions involved, this equation possesses a periodic solution.

Principle C (Chomsky, 1981) states that referring expressions cannot be bound in any domain. Previous research has held up Thai as an example of a Principle Cless language because R-expression can receive bound readings. However, I argue that full DPs in Thai cannot be bound just as they cannot be bound in English. Apparent violations of Principle C arise when expressions with phonological form...

Secondary ligand–metal interactions are decisive in many catalytic transformations. While arene–gold have repeatedly been reported as critical structural feature high-performance gold catalysts, we herein report that these can also be replaced by Au???H?C hydrogen bonds without suffering any reduction performance. Systematic experimental and computational studies on a series of ylide-substitute...

Christopher Potts Fiengo and May (1994) seek to explain the absence of certain Principle C violations in elided structures by appeal to a mechanism of vehicle change, which realizes names as pronominal correlates in elided syntax. The impossibility of certain extractions shows that elided phrases contain anti-pronominal contexts (ACs)environments that preclude definite pronouns of various sort...

In this paper, we discuss and extend some recent common fixed point results established by using $varphi-$weakly contractive mappings. A very important step in the development of the fixed point theory was given by A.H. Ansari by the introduction of a $C-$class function. Using $C-$class functions, we generalize some known fixed point results. This type of functions is a very important class of ...
