Notes on sentential connections (predominantly) in Portuguese

Notes on the Olivocerebellar Connections *

In a previous communication' evidence was adduced to indicate that the dorsal accessory olives of the medulla are connected with the dorsal part of the vermis (lingula, lobus centralis, culmen and declive) and that the ventromedian accessory olives and the ventral limbs of the inferior olives are connected with the ventral part of the vermis (folium, tuber, pyramis, uvula and nodulus). Holmes a...

Prosodic evidences to sentential negation in Brazilian portuguese

Brazilian Portuguese (BP) permits at least three kinds of sentential negation Neg1 (Não VP), Neg2 (Não VP Não) and Neg3 (VP Não). The theme of this paper is the nature of this variation. We will try to demonstrate that at least in some contexts Neg2 exhibit properties associated with presupposed denial, reflecting fundamental differences in relation to canonical negation (Neg1). Some contexts s...

Connections and Curvature Notes

where Dvai is the directional derivative of the function ai in the direction v. Consequently we know when a vector field does not change along a curve γ: Dγ̇X = 0. Covariant derivatives generalize the directional derivatives allowing us to differentiate vector fields on arbitrary manifolds and, more generally, sections of arbitrary vector bundles. Definition 1.1 (Covariant derivative of sections...

The Effect of Intra-sentential, Inter-sentential and Tag- sentential Switching on Teaching Grammar

The present study examined the comparative effect of different types of code-switching, i.e., intrasentential,inter-sentential, and tag-sentential switching on EFL learners grammar learning andteaching. To this end, a sample of 60 Iranian female and male students in two different institutionsin Qazvin was selected. They were assigned to four groups. Each group was randomly assigned toone of the...
