The part between quotation marks is called the quote, the rest is the reporting clause. From (1) it is clear that quotes can be sentence-initial, discontinuous, or sentence-final. One of my conclusions will be that the quote-final construction (1c) is fundamentally different from the other two. Quotative constructions are not restricted to high-frequent reporting verbs such as zeggen ‘say’ and ...

There have been heated debates on whether tense markers in Korean are inflectional affixes or syntactic words. One of the strongest pieces of evidence for the latter position comes from tense-related phenomena in -ko constructions. These constructions are usually assumed to consist of two coordinate clauses. In this paper, we will see that the tense phenomena can be accounted for naturally by c...

The German standard language and some of its dialects distinguish two types of directional adverbs, depending on the perspective taken in the speech event. For example, both SHG hinauf vs. herauf mean up. However, the two adverbs differ in that a motion verb modified by SHG hinauf will be construed not only as being UP(WARDS) but also as being AWAYFROM-(the)-ORIGO (we use the term origo to refe...

Four constructions of constant mean curvature (CMC) hypersurfaces in Sn+1 are given, which should be considered analogues of ‘classical’ constructions that are possible for CMC hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. First, Delaunay-like hypersurfaces, consisting roughly of a chain of hyperspheres winding multiple times around an equator, are shown to exist for all the values of the mean curvature. S...

This paper sets out the puzzle of the polyfunctionality of copula sentences in Japanese, and proposes a principled solution from the viewpoint of Semantic Incrementality. Some copula sentences have specificational and identity functions, and they display different behaviours in terms of connotation and anaphora. It is proposed that the single item no as a pronominal nominaliser captures the two...

This paper analyses the parabolic geometries generated by a free 3-distribution in the tangent space of a manifold. It shows the existence of normal Fefferman constructions over CR and Lagrangian contact structures corresponding to holonomy reductions to SO(4, 2) and SO(3, 3), respectively. There is also a fascinating construction of a ‘dual’ distribution when the holonomy reduces to G′2. The p...

RATIONALE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE This Medical Policy provides assistance in interpreting UnitedHealthcare benefit plans. When deciding coverage, the enrollee specific document must be referenced. The terms of an enrollee's document (e.g., Certificate of Coverage (COC) or Summary Plan Description (SPD)) may differ greatly. In the event of a conflict, the enrollee's specific benefit document supers...

Werner’s set-theoretical model is one of the most intuitive models of ECC. It combines a functional view of predicative universes with a collapsed view of the impredicative sort Prop. However this model of Prop is so coarse that the principle of excluded middle P ∨¬P holds. In this paper, we interpret Prop into a topological space (a special case of Heyting algebra) to make it more intuitionist...
