This study investigated whether form and meaning relatedness modulate the processing of morphologically related German verbs. In two overt visual priming experiments, we compared responses for verb targets (kommen, come) that were preceded by a purely semantically related verb (nahen, approach), by a morphologically and semantically related verb (mitkommen, come along), by a purely morphologica...

Parker (1) has shown that the results of infectivity measurements with vaccinia virus may be interpreted as a Poisson distribution of single infective particles among aliquots of the virus obtained by dilution. Thus, if it may be assumed that there exists a quanti ty of virus invariably necessary and invariably sufficient to produce a lesion in the skin of the rabbit, the behavior on dilution r...

In this paper a method of ordering slots of verb schemata related by diathesis alternations is presented. Such schemata are grouped together and represent a single meaning of a verb. The schema dominating in a group is found and its slots are numbered w.r.t. their obliqueness hierarchy. These numbers are propagated to other schemata accordingly to alternations linking slots of schemata related ...

Complex predicate is a noun, a verb, an adjective or an adverb followed by a light verb that behaves as a single unit of verb. Complex predicates (CPs) are abundantly used in Hindi and other languages of Indo Aryan family. Detecting and interpreting CPs constitute an important and somewhat a difficult task. The linguistic and statistical methods have yielded limited success in mining this data....

Allen [Allen, M. (2005). The preservation of verb subcategory knowledge in a spoken language comprehension deficit. Brain and Language, 95, 255-264.] reports a single patient, WBN, who, during spoken language comprehension, is still able to access some of the syntactic properties of verbs despite being unable to access some of their semantic properties. Allen claims that these findings challeng...

In this paper we investigate the phenomenon of verb-particle constructions, discussing their characteristics and their availability for use with NLP systems. Combinations automatically extracted from corpora greatly improve the coverage of available resources. However, the data sparseness problem is particularly acute for these constructions and even using a corpus as large as the British Natio...

Thus the object *en coupled with a transitive verb can be viewed as if they were a single intransitive verb. This offers an abstracted way of handling linguistic objects. The effect can be seen by tracing how a PAL expression: ( *subject(this(sentence))) ((by(a~computer))) [*en{understand))) "This sentence is understood by a computer."

a nanofluid is a dilute liquid suspension of particles with at least one critical dimension smaller than ~100 nm. research works so far suggest that nanofluids offer excellent heat transfer enhancement over conventional base fluids. the enhancement depends on several factors such as particle shape, particle size distribution, volume fraction of nanoparticles, temperature, ph, and thermal conduc...

For any given utterance of a verb, the referential scene offers a wide array of potential interpretations. The syntactic bootstrapping hypothesis (Landau & Gleitman, 1985) maintains that children could constrain these interpretations by exploiting systematic links between syntactic structure and verb meaning. A number of studies have provided support for this hypothesis. Children interpret a no...
