This article discusses two related case marking phenomena in Estonian. The first issue is representing partitive morphosemantics as it is expressed in the language specific aspectual, epistemic modal and evidential grammatical categories. A DRT based sketch of propositional attitudes and speaker-hearer relationships explicates several semantic links between the categories. The second case marki...

This paper discusses how monolingual children speaking Japanese as their first language interpret the particles, WA and GA, in complex sentences. Previous studies (Nakaiwa et al. 1995, Uchida, at al. 1995, Nariyama 2002) reported adult Japanese-speakers’ tendency of interpreting WA marking as a coreference with the elided subject while GA marking as a different subject. The current study examin...

Romanian is a language which exhibits differential object marking (DOM) using the particle pe and (in most cases) a clitic pronoun (Niculescu 1965, Pan -Dindelegan 1997, von Heusinger & Onea 2008, Stark & Sora 2008). Direct object case marking is optional with human indefinite direct objects, as in (1), and almost obligatory with postverbal human definite direct objects, as reflected in the con...

Complete denture fabrication in clinically compromised situations such as flabby ridges is a challenging task for the clinician. Accurate impressioning of these tissues plays a major role in ensuring a well-fitting prosthesis. In this paper, the authors have proposed a newer technique of impression making of the flabby tissues using a combination of readily available newer and older materials t...

food labels play an important role in well being of consumers. as a part of it, date marking is a valid guide to shelf life of a food. the present study was done in 2010, in smart food center, wollongong; new south wales, australia to determine if the residents are familiar with date marking of food products. data was accumulated by either interview guide or questionnaire method. basic unselect...

Bidirectional case markers in West African languages, including those of the Songhay family, are morphemes inserted between subject and object NPs that would otherwise be adjacent. They therefore specify both that the NP to the left is a subject, and that the NP to the right is an object, and they cannot be bracketed uniquely with either. This is shown by the fact that these morphemes are absen...

A Cauchy problem for a functional-differential inclusion of neutral type with a nonconvex right-hand side is investigated. Questions of the solvability of such a problem are considered, estimates analogous to the Filippov’s estimates are obtained and the density principle is proved. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 34A60, 34G20, 34K35, 49J30, 49K25.
