I argue that patterns of case syncretism across languages can be modelled by partially, rather than totally, ordered hierarchies. Partially hierarchies avoid the need for postulating multiple instances same while retaining contiguity in representation syncretism. discuss data from three which differential object marking is syncretic with dative and show partially capture these other line some c...

having all the rules of Hilbert’s positive logic (cf. for example [3, p. 98]), the connective of negation ¬ is said to be conditional iff ` ⊆ |=M, where |=M is the consequence relation determined on L by a model M =< I,≤, φ, A > (with a nonempty partially ordered set < I,≤>, a valuation φ ⊆ I × V , V is the set of propositional variables, and A ⊆ I, ∅ 6= A 6= I) in the standard way: for any X ⊆...

We study chains in an H-closed topological partially ordered space. We give sufficient conditions for a maximal chain L in an H-closed topological partially ordered space such that L contains a maximal (minimal) element. Also we give sufficient conditions for a linearly ordered topological partially ordered space to be H-closed. We prove that any H-closed topological semilattice contains a zero...
