Hausdorff and Gromov distances are introduced and treated in the context of categories enriched over a commutative unital quantale V . The Hausdorff functor which, for every V-category X, provides the powerset of X with a suitable V-category structure, is part of a monad on V-Cat whose Eilenberg-Moore algebras are order-complete. The Gromov construction may be pursued for any endofunctor K of V...

Many studies have found that patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) perform significantly worse than normal controls on verbal fluency tasks. Moreover, some studies have found that AD patients' deficits compared to controls are more severe for semantic fluency (e.g., vegetables) than for letter fluency (e.g. words that begin with F). These studies, however, have not taken category size into acc...

In the context of similarity judgment, verbal labels are known to play a pivotal role. Although Sloutsky and Fisher (2004) provide a good explanation of why children tend to give more selective attention to verbal labels than pictorial features, it is unclear why category labels are treated differently from other features. In this article, we point out that category information is important, no...

English verbal gerunds have long been of interest to syntacticians. Verbal gerund phrases display a mix of nominal and verbal properties which provide a challenge to any syntactic framework that assumes a strict version of X-bar theory. Various approaches have been proposed to get around these problems, but they all involve abandoning a fundamentally desirable theoretic assumption or adopting a...

In this study, we examine exocentric compounds in Berom; a minority Niger-Congo language that is spoken parts of central Nigeria and describe the structural semantic properties N-V compounds. Basically, study designed to achieve three aims: contribute documentation Berom, provide classification semantics Contrary nominalization process defining lexical class languages, show Berom compounding, v...
