In this paper I argue that V1 and V2 orders are the outcome of criterial movement to the CP layer of, respectively, a null OP and an XP. Under the assumption that discourse-related properties are encoded in the CP, I propose a cartographic analysis of the mechanisms determining V1 and V2 orders in Icelandic. I show that the labels V2 and V1 are too generic and misleading because they cover cons...

Introduction. In a recent paper [l] attention was called to a new family of line involutions in 53 furnishing examples of involutions of all orders, m, ^4 with complexes of invariant lines of all possible orders, i, from 2 up to the maximum, [(»i + l)/2]. Since involutions of all orders without a complex of invariant lines are known to exist, and since examples of all possible involutions of or...

one of the most important issues which has long been considered as a shortfall in the civil procedure code (cpc) is the jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal to issue interim orders. currently, neither the court nor the arbitral tribunal can freely grant the interim measure so that the tribunals and the court hardly accept the plea for granting the interim measure. the reason lies in the shortf...

Measuring biodiversity requires empirical techniques to effectively estimate it from real data. The well-known underestimation of the number of species applies to low orders of diversity in general. I test nine estimators including three new ones on geometric and lognormal distributions that represent realistic, hyper-diverse communities. The best two estimators allow a good estimation of diver...

In this paper I want to present a new proposal for a unified meaning of the particle only which accounts for the traditional distinction between a quantificational and a scalar only. It therefore avoids an unintuitive lexical ambiguity and tries to capture a generalization missed so far. For this purpose, different stages in the history of only will be reviewed, portraying the increasing comple...
