sense, depending on the verb and context), and the other of which, the goal (also “recipient” or “indirect object”), denotes the recipient or destination.1 In the double object construction (1), the goal NP immediately follows the verb, and is in turn immediately followed by the theme NP. The prepositional construction (2), by contrast, places the theme NP immediately after the verb, while the ...

FIPSVox is a text-to-speech system for French developed at LATL. It is based on FIPS, a large-scale, multi-purpose, GBbased syntactic parser which produces detailed analyses and the MBROLA diphones-concatenation synthesizer. The syntactic information provided by the parser is directly exploited by the grapheme-to-phoneme module to handle heterophone homographs as well as French elision, denasal...

Following Ross (1967/86) many linguists have assumed that sentence pairs like (1)-(4) are related by a rule of "Heavy NP Shift": (1) a. Mary gave everything that he demanded to John. b. Mary gave to John everything that he demanded. (2) a. Max put all the boxes of home furnishings in his car. b. Max put in his car all the boxes of home furnishings. (3) a. I would consider anyone who leaves his ...

Reversal, and intra-dimensional (ID) and extra-dimensional (ED) nonreversal discrimination shifts were studied to see if learned inattention to the irrelevant dimension differentially influenced the efficacy of learning and stimulus choice strategy. Performance was compared with conditioned blocking (CB) and monoamine metabolic status between healthy controls, patients with obsessive compulsive...

Feedback shift registers(FSRs) are a fundamental component in electronics and secure communication. An FSR f is said to be reducible if all the output sequences of another FSR g can also be generated by f and the FSR g has less memory than f . An FSR is said to be decomposable if it has the same set of output sequences as a cascade connection of two FSRs. It is proved that deciding whether FSRs...

AIMS To investigate the effects of shift work on increased alcohol intake associated with poor sleep quality. METHODS This cross-sectional survey evaluated the correlation between work schedule, poor sleep quality and heavy drinking among 909 factory workers aged 35-54 years in Japan. Subjects included 530 day workers, 72 shift workers who did not work at night and 290 shift workers who engag...

This paper explores the grammatical process of pseudo-gapping. In the literature, pseudo-gapping has been analyzed as a series of two operations: the syntactic movement of a remnant out of a VP (Move-R) and the phonological deletion of the VP (VP-deletion). Given this movement + deletion theory, I address what type of movement Move-R is. This paper makes a new argument against Takahashi’s (2004...
