This paper is a reply to an accompanying set of six commentaries by Sidman; Hayes and Barnes; Schusterman, Kastak, and Reichmuth; Tonneau and Sokolowski; Lowenkron; and Moerk. Those commentaries were prompted by our article ‘‘On the Origins of Naming and Other Symbolic Behavior’’ (1996), which was, in turn, followed by 26 commentaries and a reply. In the course of the present reply, we further ...

in this paper we classify fuzzy subgroups of a rank-3 abelian group $g = mathbb{z}_{p^n} + mathbb{z}_p + mathbb{z}_p$ for any fixed prime $p$ and any positive integer $n$, using a natural equivalence relation given in cite{mur:01}. we present and prove explicit polynomial formulae for the number of (i) subgroups, (ii) maximal chains of subgroups, (iii) distinct fuzzy subgroups, (iv) non-isomorp...
