Long Distance Anaphors an Asian Perspective
A distribution of anaphoric elements roughly like that found in English occurs in languages around the world: There are certain lexical items that occur only with antecedents which ccommand them and which are located in the same local domain (roughly, clause) as the anaphoric elements. In contrast, other anaphoric elements are unable to take c-commanding antecedents within the local domain. The...
متن کاملLong-Distance Agreement in Tsez: A Reappraisal
This paper is a critique of Agree-based accounts of long-distance agreement in Tsez. It highlights the inconsistencies inherent in such analyses and suggests instead an alternative where agreement is accomplished in ‘local’ configurations brought forth by the structure-building operation Merge and Move/Remerge. Contra what has been proposed before, the paper suggests that the agreement triggeri...
متن کاملLong-distance vowel-consonant agreement in Harari1
This article addresses the problem of coronal palatalization in Harari (Ethiopian Semitic) triggered by the 2nd person singular feminine non-perfective subject suffix /-i/. The palatalization process is unusual in two respects: (a) palatalization operates at a distance over other vowels and consonants and (b) palatalization may optionally affect more than one coronal consonant in the same stem,...
متن کاملYawning: An Evolutionary Perspective
Evolutionary analyses of human behavior have illuminated a number of fundamental questions (i.e., foraging, mating systems, communication, etc.), and a wide array of behaviors have been targeted for investigation (infanticide, polygyny, child abuse, homicide, etc.). In general, investigation has centered on complex behaviors organized into broader functional units based on their context, or in ...
متن کاملPrions: an evolutionary perspective.
Studies in both prion-due diseases in mammals and some non-Mendelian hereditary processes in yeasts have demonstrated that certain proteins are able to transmit structural information and self-replication. This induces the corresponding conformational changes in other proteins with identical or similar sequences. This ability of proteins may have been very useful during prebiotic chemical evolu...
