Although Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin are all wh-in-situ languages, they differ with respect to intervention effects. I use the term ‘intervention effects’ in accord with Beck (1996) and Beck and Kim (1997) to refer to ill-formedness that results when a particular phrase, generally a quantificational and/or focus element, c-commands a wh-phrase. In this paper, I refer to intervenors as ‘quant...

Surface waters become more and more polluted, depending on human activities around them. The current study has been conducted to evaluate the impact of Syrian civil war on water quality of the Turkish part of Orontes River. For so doing, it has obtained monitoring data between 2006 and 2014 from state of Hydraulic Works of Turkey, analyzing them via Water Quality Index (WQI) and Principal Compo...

Despite this increasing trend, the academic literature on Turkish M&As is limited, especially compared to the large amount of US studies. This paper aims to extend this literature. Specifically, we investigate the changes in the performance of Turkish companies subsequent to the completion of M&A transactions. The research question is appealing not only because literature on Turkish M&As is lim...

This article provides an overview of the issues and proposals surrounding wh-insitu since the 1980s. In particular, it discusses the question of whether or not in-situ wh-phrases undergo covert wh-movement. Aside from reviewing the basic arguments for and against covert wh-movement, it considers alternative proposals put forth, ranging from movement of elements other than wh-phrases themselves,...

The derivation of (1) seems rather straightforward. The wh-phrase fronts to Spec, PP, supporting the process that Henk so convincingly argued for in his 1978 book, and pied-pipes the PP to Spec, CP. Aissen (1996) proposes an analysis along these lines for Tzotzil. In essence, PP internal whmovement brings the wh-phrase high enough into the PP to enable successful checking of wh in Spec, CP, thr...

Prosody plays an important role in online sentence processing both explicitly and implicitly. It has been shown that prosodically packaging together parts of a sentence that are interpreted together facilitates processing of the sentence. This applies not only to explicit prosody but also implicit prosody. The present work hypothesizes that a line break in a written text induces an implicit pro...

The two autonomously manifesting mutations, eyeless (el) and white eyes (wh), of Habrobracon juglandis were compared phenotypically with the wild-type. Eyeless reduces the compound eyes in size. The penetrance is 100%, while expressivity ranges from point-shaped ommochrome crumbs over individual facets to a small eye with abundant facets. There is no correlation between the sizes of left and ri...

This paper concerns how languages bundle an existential claim and>an ignorance inference in a nominal expression. I present case study on epistemic indefinites (EIs) Cantonese and show that EIs have different morphological makeup (m + zi WH ‘not know WH’), when compared to other more discussed EIs. suggest the component associated with mzi-WH is conventional implicature m-zi obtains adnomina...
