Abstract This paper investigates the semantics of an understudied Mandarin numeral construction type, here dubbed da -NumPs (i.e. number word < ‘big’ noun). Drawing primarily upon evidence from online corpora, we argue for a taxonomy this that comprises two distinct interpretations, based on scalarity morpheme and its composition with other constituents within construction. Specifically, one...

This paper provides a syntactic analysis of two types compounds in Greek: synthetic and phrasal derived from agentive nominalizations verbal strings containing an internal argument the verb. The is couched within ‘morphology as syntax’ account uses independently motivated tools to show that both are syntax proper without any need for separate morphological component. differences properties expl...

Adjectives and common nouns are currently assigned the same semantic analysis: both categories are said to denote sets of individuals (type ). We will show that this assumption is empirically inadequate and we will assume instead that adjectives denote properties (viewed as primitive entities, not as sets of individuals) instantiated in individuals, whereas (number marked) common nouns bas...

Mitochondria are essential organelles that execute and coordinate various metabolic processes in the cell. Mitochondrial dysfunction severely affects cell fitness contributes to disease. Proper organellar function depends on biogenesis maintenance of mitochondria its >1,000 proteins. As a result, has evolved mechanisms protein quality control, such as turnover proteins via mitochondria-associat...

introduction:landscape structure means the pattern of a landscape, which is determined by its type of use, but also by its structure, i.e. the size, shape, arrangement and distribution of individual landscape elements. for the delineation of these landscape elements, or so-called patches, often land use or land cover units are used. in this context, “‘land cover’ refers to the physical surface ...
