The aim of this paper is to provide an HPSG analysis of linear positions of Polish pronominal clitics. The distribution of Polish clitics, though rather free, is more constrained than that of other NPs. Polish clitics either occur preverbally or must closely follow the verb. We treat all Polish pronominal clitics as syntactic items and propose an LP constraint to account for their distribution....

Is robotics a multidiscipline or are there enough unique problems, methodologies, theories to stand as a single discipline on its...

Physics from Computer Science: a Position Statement

In this statement we provide some examples of transdisciplinary journeys, from one field to another, and back. In particular, the quantum informatic endeavor is not just a matter of feeding physical theory into the general field of natural computation, but also one of using high-level methods developed in Computer Science to improve on the quantum physical formalism itself, and the understandin...
