Depending on the context of use, the English determiner this can be either definite or indefinite (Prince 1981). On the one hand, it functions as a demonstrative determiner alongside that, and, on the other hand, it is a determiner for indefinite noun phrases alongside the simple indefinite article a (Perlman 1969, Prince 1981, Wald 1983, among others). This paper focuses on the latter use of t...

Implementation of precautionary approach (PA) management systems has generally proven to be a betterment over historic practices in sustainable use fisheries resources. However, PA can minimize the application holistic assessment advice. Single-indicator approaches, typically featuring measure stock biomass or abundance, have emerged as dominant developing methods for frameworks. This often lea...

We propose a technique to measure multispin correlation functions of arbitrary range as determined by the ground states of spinful cold atoms in optical lattices. We show that an observation of the atomic version of the Stokes parameters, using focused lasers and microwave pulsing, can be related to n-spin correlators. We discuss the possibility of detecting not only ground state static spin co...

Isolated noncompaction of the ventricular myocardium is an uncommon disorder characterized by an excessively prominent trabecular meshwork seen in the early period of embryogenesis. The clinical presentation of noncompaction includes a high prevalence of heart failure, thromboembolic events and arrhythmias. Echocardiography is the procedure of choice for the diagnosis of noncompaction. We repor...

Yang (2004) observes that in Mandarin, an initial possessor phrase (PossessorP) may be followed by a bare noun as in (1), or by a possessee phrase that can be headed by a numeral and classifier, [Numeral + CL + N], as in (2) or by a demonstrative, [Dem + (Numeral) + CL + N] as in (3). (In all the examples in this section, we begin with Yang’s own initial glosses and translations. The interpreta...

This Thesis presents a deep study of the influence and the use of syntactic roles ans semantic information in the pronominal anaphora resolution for Spanish and, specifically, the generated by personal, demonstrative, reflexive and omitted pronouns. A combination of both knowledge sources is proposed in order to propose a linguistic, scientific and methodologic base basis based on enriched info...

This paper investigates reference to clausally introduced entities and proposes an explanation for why these are more readily available to immediate subsequent reference with a demonstrative pronoun than with the personal pronoun, it. New evidence is provided supporting proposals that such entities are typically activated, but not brought into focus, upon their introduction into a discourse. Th...

This paper investigates the usage and frequency of what is referred to as K-suffixes in three Balochi dialects, namely Koroshi, Coastal Sistani Balochi. It shows that are most likely reflexes earlier evaluative morphology, traditionally termed “diminutives,” characterized by a high degree multi-functionality. While functions continue dominate, they have been largely lost Koroshi Balochi, suffix...
