Agentive reflexive clitics and transitive 'se' constructions in Spanish

Semantic Categorization of Spanish Se-constructions

In this paper we present a tool to automatically determine the semantic interpretation of some ambiguous sentences in Spanish, the so-called “se-constructions”. These sentences are syntactically similar, but their argument structure is different. The performance of the disambiguation procedure has been evaluated against a manually annotated corpus, achieving 95% precision.

Object Clitics in Spanish and Catalan

This paper studies the properties of object pronominal clitics in Spanish and Catalan and shows that they behave very differently in several ways. Contrary to what is generally asumed, we propose that direct object clitics and indirect object clitics are two different kinds of functional categories: the direct object is considered a DP generated in an A-position, and the indirect object clitic ...

Spanish Clitics, Events and Opposition Structure

predicate P whenever it is possible, instead of using a catalog of thetaroles, which are difficult to justify. The use of abduction operations is limited here to predicates already present in the core event structure. In other words, predicates from the OS introduced by the core event are tried first. In this case, the OS [:at(z, y), at(z, y)] encodes the change of location that is required by ...

Defining (reflexive) transitive closure on finite models

Constructions of transitive latin hypercubes

A set of vertices of the q-ary n-dimensional Hamming space is called a distance-2 MDS code if it has exactly one element in intersection with every line. By an isotopism we mean an isometric transformation of the Hamming space that independently permutes the symbols in every coordinate but does not change the coordinate order. A set M of vertices is called transitive if its automorphism group (...
