Recent theoretical descriptions of the Icelandic case system distinguish between lexicai and structural case. Lexical case is assigned in ttle lexiCOIl, whereas structural case is assigned in syntax, under tim provision that it does not override lexicai case assignment. This analysis is problematic for grammatical theories such as Categorial Unification Grammar (CUG) and Headdriven Phrase Struc...

Pre-congestion notification (PCN) in IP networks uses packet metering and marking within a PCN domain to notify its egress nodes whether link-specific admissible or supportable rate thresholds have been exceeded by high priority traffic. Based on this information simple admission control and flow termination is implemented. The latter is a new flow control function and useful in case of overloa...

Abstract Based on six detailed case studies of languages in which focus is marked morphosyntactically, we propose a novel formal theory marking, can capture these as well the familiar English-type prosodic marking. Special attention paid to patterns syncretism, that is, when different size and/or location are indistinguishably realized by same form. The key ingredients our approach complex cons...

Abstract This paper addresses the syntactic and semantic analysis of nominal measurement structures like two liters black coffee in German. German allows case-marking on substance noun phrase to vary: it can appear genitive case or same as measure liter . The choice lacks import with absolute measures , but a distinction does arise for proportional percent interpretation case-matching configura...
