We show that four orthographic projections of two rigidly linked points are compatible with at most four interpretations of the relative three-dimensional positions of the points if the points rotate about a fixed axis--even when the points as a system undergo arbitrary rigid translations. A fifth view (projection) yields a unique interpretation and makes zero the probability that randomly chos...

The positioning of sentential connectives in Chinese complex sentences is more flexible than their counterparts in English. Sentential connectives in Chinese can be placed in three sensitive positions: clause-initial, predicate-initial, and clause-final positions. Due to the co-existence of prepositions and postpositions in the language, sentential connectives can be placed in both clause-initi...
