This work investigates first-language (L1) influence on second-language (L2) acquisition of embedded aspect, comparing participants with homogeneous L1 background (Russian) in Greece (L2 Standard Modern Greek) and Cyprus (L2 Cypriot Greek), where verb complementation takes a finite form instead of an infinitival as in Russian. The focus of the experimental study is on those embedded sentential ...

Axiomatic bases of admissible rules are obtained for fragments of the substructural logic R-mingle. In particular, it is shown that a “modus-ponens-like” rule introduced by Arnon Avron forms a basis for the admissible rules of its implication and implication-fusion fragments, while a basis for the admissible rules of the full multiplicative fragment requires an additional countably infinite set...

Disorders of the endocrine system including hormone hyperfunction and hypofunction have multiple effects on cardiovascular system. However, in clinical practice, there are many cases of delayed or overlooked diagnosis of underlying endocrine dysfunction in patients presenting chest pain or other cardiac symptoms. Herein, we report three cases of endocrine hyperfunction presenting as coronary sp...

Comparative correlative constructions (the more you run, the more you sweat) are widespread across the languages of the world (Taylor, 2006). Nonetheless, the peculiarities of this construction raise questions that challenge our understanding of the syntax of this specific construction and, more broadly, of how the core and the periphery of Universal Grammar (UG) are organized (Culicover and Ja...

This paper presents an historical comparison and analysis of school laws enacted by the Indiana General Assembly during four selected decades fifty years apart. The decades selected were 1847-1856, 1897-1906, 1947-1956, and 1997-2006. The number of school laws enacted during each of the four selected decades was compared and analyzed. The subject areas of the school laws enacted during the four...

UG Handbook » This is one of the simplest connections between geometry and motion. The motion contains more information than the curve traced out by the particle It also aims to teach the practical calculation of these formulas and their understand and be able to calculate line, surface and volume integrals. As someone who has never taken geometry before, would it be worth doing geometry in my ...
