Learning to spell in Hebrew: Phonological and morphological factors This paper investigates children’s developing knowledge of the Hebrew spelling system in view of the claim that language-specific typology affects the rate and the pattern of development of orthographic spelling. Hebrew is a morphologically synthetic language with a phonologically “deep” orthography, on the one hand, and a cons...

The grammars of any OT typology can be derived from a single tableau in which each row, when asserted as optimal, delivers the grammar of a language in the typology. In the single-tableau representation, each candidate represents an entire language. When, as is typically the case, a typology is constructed from more than one candidate set, a single tableau representation may be built from the M...

Firms are increasingly selecting hybrid governance in interfirm relationships to execute a wide range of activities. To aid cumulative theory building, we propose a typology of hybrid governance identifying four types characterized by the levels of two types of asset specificity pertaining to intangible assets: process specificity and expertise specificity. We validate the typology this using d...

Eight key IS strategic alignment studies are reviewed and classified using Miles and Snow’s business strategy typology in an effort to reconcile different approaches. Key findings include a high degree of consistency between study results along typology lines and support for a moderating effect of business strategy on the relationship between IS strategic alignment and business performance.

It goes without saying that a good linguistic theory should neither undergenerate (i.e., it should not miss any attested patterns) nor overgenerate (i.e., it should not predict any “unattestable” patterns). Recent literature has argued that the Maximum Entropy (ME; Goldwater & Johnson 2003) framework provides a probabilistic extension of categorical Harmonic Grammar (HG; Legendre et al. 1990; S...

Understanding 'Why a prey is a prey for a given predator?' can be facilitated through trait-based approaches that identify linkages between prey and predator morphological and ecological characteristics and highlight key functions involved in prey selection. Enhanced understanding of the functional relationships between predators and their prey is now essential to go beyond the traditional taxo...

Prosodic Typology II gathers a set of papers detailing the intonational phonologies of 14 different languages from across the globe. As the name suggests, Prosodic Typology II is the successor to the first Prosodic Typology volume (Jun 2005b); the introductory chapter by Sun-Ah Jun describes it as an extension of the original collection. There is a great deal of continuity between this volume a...

BACKGROUND The complexity of surgical interventions has major implications for the design of RCTs. Trials need to consider how and whether to standardize interventions so that, if successful, they can be implemented in practice. Although guidance exists for standardizing non-pharmaceutical interventions in RCTs, their application to surgery is unclear. This study reports new methods for standar...

This study proposes a new qualitative typology that can be used to classify learners treading water into different skill-based categories. To establish the typology, 38 participants were videotaped while treading water and their movement patterns were qualitatively analyzed by two experienced biomechanists. 13 sport science students were then asked to classify eight of the original participants...
