Binding principles applied to Dutch reflexives are supplemented with optimality considerations and a general principle of linguistic economy to account for differences in reflexivization strategies of Dutch and English. Dutch SE-reflexives are optimally encoded coreference in contrast to the English ordinary bound pronouns they are translated to. Burzio's stated general dispreference for SE-ref...

In a recent, welcome contribution, Predelli (2013) presents a fruitful and powerful framework on how truth-conditional semantics can deal with non-truth-conditional meaning. One of the gifts of Predelli’s contribution is that it presents a unifying theory dealing with seemingly various phenomena often relegated to the pragmatics dustbin. Thus, nicknames, slurs, answering machines/post-its, voca...

A recent theory of pigeons' equivalence-class formation (Urcuioli, 2008) predicts that reflexivity, an untrained ability to match a stimulus to itself, should be observed after training on two "mirror-image" symbolic successive matching tasks plus identity successive matching using some of the symbolic matching stimuli. One group of pigeons was trained in this fashion; a second group was traine...

Purpose – To determine the effects of project management skills, entrepreneurial proclivity, and existing knowledge on team reflexivity and performance of cross-functional new product development (NPD) team. The moderating roles of team cohesiveness and knowledge practice are also explored. Design/methodology/approach – This study used online questionnaire surveys by inviting 500 R&D team membe...

‎Let $X$‎, ‎$Y$ and $Z$ be Banach spaces and $f:Xtimes Y‎ ‎longrightarrow Z$ a bounded bilinear map‎. ‎In this paper we‎ ‎study the relation between Arens regularity of $f$ and the‎ ‎reflexivity of $Y$‎. ‎We also give some conditions under which the‎ ‎Arens regularity of a Banach algebra $A$ implies the Arens‎ ‎regularity of certain Banach right module action of $A$‎ .

In this article, we considered bidual spaces and reflexivity of real normed spaces. At first we proved some corollaries applying Hahn-Banach theorem and showed related theorems. In the second section, we proved the norm of dual spaces and defined the natural mapping, from real normed spaces to bidual spaces. We also proved some properties of this mapping. Next, we defined real normed space of R...

Consider the following properties of a binary relation ≤ on a set X: (Reflexivity) For all x ∈ X, x ≤ x. (Anti-Symmetry) For all x, y ∈ X, if x ≤ y and y ≤ x, then x = y. (Transitivity) For all x, y, z ∈ X, if x ≤ y and y ≤ z, then x ≤ z. (Totality) For all x, y ∈ X, either x ≤ y or y ≤ x. A relation which satisfies reflexivity and transitivity is called a quasi-ordering. A relation which satis...
