reating believable animated human figures proves difficult, even with the most sophisticated software available. Once an acceptable animation segment has been created, either by an ani-mator or through motion capture, the results remain difficult to reuse. The additional work to modify the animation may take almost as much time as creating the original motion. Furthermore, the exact style or st...

Representing Engl ish ad jec t i ves and adverbs using a l o g i c a l l y perspicuous no ta t ion (extended semantic networks, Schubert. 1974) and the i r accomodation w i t h i n a state-based paradigm (Cercone, 1975) are discussed.

In this article we explore the exceptional gender agreement of the Spanish adverb mucho (‘much’), when it modifies comparative adjectives inside DPs that contain a particular type of noun (as in muchafem mejor intenciónfem, ‘much better intention’). This phenomenon, which we describe in detail, raises crucial questions both about the mechanisms of agreement and about the nature of gender in a l...

To fill this gap, we reviewed progress syllogisms using works prominent sci...

Subject-relatedness is a term used to define subject-oriented -ly adverbs that are not liable convey adverbial meaning and only retain the predicative function (Díaz-Negrillo 2014, Valera 2014). Previous corpus evidence of subject-relatedness has been found in colour adjectives (Valera 2014), which seems restrict this narrow semantic class but, as central members word-class (cf. Dixon 1977), re...

Abstract Syntactic decomposition theories of argument structure take predicates to be syntactically complex, consisting a root and one or more functional heads. Traditionally, these heads have been used as potential attachment sites for adverbs, such the repetitive adverb again, giving rise repetitive/restitutive ambiguity. In this paper, I question assumption that provide sublexical based on t...
