This paper aims at accounting for the emergence and loss of constraints governing the formation of deverbal nominalizations in German from a cognitive point of view. Specifically, diachronic changes in the formation of derivatives in the suffix -ung are investigated on the basis of two large corpora of Middle High German (MHG, 1050-1350) and Early New High German (ENHG, 1350-1650) texts, respec...

To comprehend language, listeners need to encode the relationship between words within sentences. This entails categorizing words into their appropriate word classes. Function words, consistently preceding words from specific categories (e.g., the ballNOUN, I speakVERB), provide invaluable information for this task, and children's sensitivity to such adjacent relationships develops early on in ...

Developing image accluisition requirements is a major part of the Autmiolnous Feature and Star ‘lkacking (AI+’AST) projec~’s work in advancing sensor technologies for planetary exp]oratio~l. Sensing and detecting desired planetary features also i]lvolve topographic and photometric characterization of celestial bodies. The photometric study can provide felicitous designs of optics, focal plane a...

EMERGENCE OF a healthoriented paradigm of human behavior is particularly felicitous for the social work profession. In its implicit emphasis on growth-enhancing possibilities for human beings, a healthoriented model strikes an affinity with the value base of the profession and stimulates reaffirmation of principles of practice that have always been present. Recent works by Germain and Gitterman...

A CARDINAL GOAL of librarians of institutions of higher learning is to build up collections of permanent value. For a non-fiction work to serve this purpose, we would expect it to be read in whole or in part and to be referred to for such things as facts, opinions, ideas, or felicitous phrasing. College librarians have to buy books selectively, a task made more difficult by the rising cost of b...

Many data sets are high dimensional. It has been a common practice to use lower dimensional linear projections of the data for visual inspection. The lower dimension is usually 1 or 2 (or maybe 3). More precisely, if X 1 ; : : :; X n 2 IR p are p-dimensional data, then a k (< p)-dimensional linear projection is Z 1 ; : : : ; Z n 2 IR k where Z i = T X i for some p k matrix such that T = I k , t...
