Spatial information may be endowed with a bipolarity component. Typical examples concern possible vs forbidden places for an object in space, or “opposite” spatial relations such as “possibly to the right of an object and certainly not to its left”. However, bipolarity has not been much exploited in the spatial domain yet. Moreover, imprecision has often to be taken into account as well, for in...

Establishment and maintenance of the mitotic spindle requires the balanced activity of microtubule-associated proteins and motors. In this study we have addressed how the microtubule plus-end tracking protein mast/orbit/CLASP and cytoplasmic dynein regulate this process in Drosophila melanogaster embryos and S2 cells. We show that mast accumulates at kinetochores early in mitosis, which is foll...

I argue that overt movement cannot always be triggered by a need to create specifier for the head bearing Probe, as commonly assumed. In Tagalog, claim, best description of behavior wh-phrases is they must become linearly adjacent C; show Tagalog in fact occupy several different structural positions which are consistent with this linear requirement.

BACKGROUND Glutamate system is modified by ethanol and contributes both to the euphoric and the dysphoric consequences of intoxication, but there is now growing evidence that the glutamatergic system also plays a central role in the neurobiology and treatment of mood disorders, including major depressive disorders and bipolar disorders. We speculate that, using acamprosate, patients with bipola...

CONTEXT There is growing evidence that major depressive disorder (MDD) might be overdiagnosed at the expense of bipolar disorder (BPD). OBJECTIVES To identify a subgroup of subthreshold BPD among DSM-IV MDD, which is distinct from pure MDD regarding a range of validators of bipolarity, and to examine the pattern of these validators among different groups with affective disorders. DESIGN Ten...

De indefinites overt Spell-Out an abstract operator cancels definiteness articles responsible for indefiniteness. relator head takes definite DP as complement QP specifier position. Finally, pseudopartitivity shown to have...
