In a first section we construct them from first principles. In a second section we take the point of view that—as in the classical case—words over an alphabet S form a free monoid over S. We define different notions of nominal monoids and reveal nominal w...

Previous research has identified the nominal group as the most distinctive feature of the research article title. In contrast, the findings reported in this paper suggest Theme/Rheme is the dominant structure in title text. Theme/Rheme structures order and tie nominal groups in titles. When a title starts with a methodological term the first position nominal group acts as a theme marker. Thus, ...

shrink fit process is a useful technique in order to introduce beneficial residual stress in compound pressure vessels. in this paper, the effects of geometrical tolerances on residual stresses have been studied for a compound shrink fitted pressure vessel, practically. three layers, which are designed based on an optimum nominal thickness and overlap dimensions and tolerances, have been fitted...

This chapter describes nominal constructions in the Central variety of Taleshi (Northwestern Iranian). In Taleshi, noun phrases and majority adpositional are head-final. Some modifiers as well complement postpositions linked to head phrase by a linking element––known Reverse Ezafe (Stilo 2004). this chapter, we show that appearing with possessors adpositions is different from attributive adject...
