this article attempts to see, through the structural significances of poetic language, the nature of the split between linguistic description and literary interpretation. rhythm is the most prominent means of relating form to content in poetic language. the first account of this prominence is seen through identifying its position in the two prosodic forms of metrical and non-metrical poetry. fo...

in this research, it has been tried to determine and introduce the relationship between the mystical experience and paradoxical expression. in the first section the major function of these two categories in language has been considered. in the other section some significant questions have been scientifically answered. these questions are: is the paradoxical expression the internal characteristi...

We explore the performance of two dependency parsing approaches, the rulebased WCDG approach (Foth and Menzel 2006) and the data-driven dependency parser MaltParser (Nivre et al. 2007) on texts written by language learners. We show that WCDG outperforms MaltParser in identifying the main functorargument relations, whereas MaltParser is more successful than WCDG in establishing optional, adjunct...

One of the most influential views on the hippocampal function suggests that this brain region is critically involved in relational memory processing, that is, binding converging inputs to mediate the representation of relationships among the constituents of episodes. It has been proposed that this binding is automatic and obligatory during learning and remembering In addition, neuroimaging stud...

In this paper, we present some preliminary observations on the syntactic analysis of copular constructions in LFG. We suggest several conclusions and directions for future research. First, the open analysis is appropriate for some copular constructions but not for others, even within the same language. Second, the same construction can be open in some languages and closed in others. Third, we c...

Valency lexicons are valuable resources for natural language processing. The need for new resources for languages encourages researchers to collect new datasets. One of the most important datasets is valency lexicons. In valency lexicons, information about obligatory and optional complements of words is annotated at the syntactic and semantic levels. In this paper, we report the development of ...

RoCTL* was proposed to model and specify the robustness of reactive systems. RoCTL* extended CTL* with the addition of Obligatory and Robustly operators, which quantify over failure-free paths and paths with one more failure respectively. This paper gives an axiomatisation for all the operators of RoCTL* with the exception of the Until operator; this fragment is able to express similar contrary...

In classifier languages, nouns must appear with one of a series of classifiers in order to be modified by a numeral. This squib presents new data from Mi’gmaq (Algonquian) and Chol (Mayan), arguing that classifiers are required due to the syntactic and semantic properties of the numeral (as in Krifka 1995), rather than the noun (as in Chierchia 1998). The results are shown to have important con...
