This study aimed to investigate the realizations of verbs’ syntactic and semantic features inmoves of applied linguistics research article introductions published in international andIranian local journals. To this end, a data of 30 research article introductions (15 published inIranian local journals and 15 in high impact international journals) was selected. The researcharticle introductions ...

this paper presents an investigation of the structure of persian clauses which display verb phrase ellipsis. to this end, verb phrase ellipsis in persian will be discussed in the light of the two theoretically significant approaches to ellipsis, namely, structural versus non-structural. drawing on data from persian and running the independently devised syntactic tests, we will argue that the or...

This paper investigates the degree to which an onset consonant of an accentual phrase affects the f0 of the following syllables within the phrase in Seoul Korean. Korean tense or aspirated onset consonants raise f0 values of the following adjacent vowel, and when they are positioned on the first syllable onset of an accentual phrase, they continuously raise f0 values of the following non-adjace...

topicalization and focus movement have been discussed in literature with respect to a vriety of their properties. in persian, syntactic objects within tense phrase, including phrasal arguments, may freely be displaced to a higher position and the reordering of these elements is mainly considered to be the result of discourse functional elements such as topic and focus. the present study is an e...

Background: The P600 brain wave reflects syntactic processes in response to different first language (L1) syntactic violations, syntactic repair, structural reanalysis, and specific semantic components. Unlike semantic processing, aspects of the second language (L2) syntactic processing differ from the L1, particularly at lower levels of proficiency. At higher L2 proficiency, syntactic violatio...

This paper discusses the description of agrammatic production focusing on the verbal inflectional morphology. Agrammatism in Hebrew is investigated through an experiment with a patient who displays a highly selective impairment: agreement inflection is completely intact, but tense inflection, use of copula, and embedded structures are severely impaired. A retrospective examination of the litera...

this study aims to investigate the semantic and syntactic features of verbs used in the introduction section of applied linguistics research articles published in iranian and international journals. a corpus of 20 research article introductions (10 from each journal) was used. the corpus was analysed for the syntactic features (tense, aspect and voice) and semantic meaning of verbs. the finding...

In English, the distinction between belief verbs, such as think, and desire verbs, such as want, is tracked by the tense of those verbs’ subordinate clauses. This has led some authors within the syntactic bootstrapping literature to propose that subordinate clause tense is an integral part of the acquisition of belief and desire predicates. This proposal is problematic since the correlation bet...

There have been heated debates on whether tense markers in Korean are inflectional affixes or syntactic words. One of the strongest pieces of evidence for the latter position comes from tense-related phenomena in -ko constructions. These constructions are usually assumed to consist of two coordinate clauses. In this paper, we will see that the tense phenomena can be accounted for naturally by c...

ing away from PF, Chomsky takes a (syntactic) derivation D = to converge iff (i) all elements of N have been used, i.e., for each lexical item L contained in an ordered pair of N, L has been introduced into the derivation exactly i times, (ii) every di (1 i k) has been obtained by one of the four admissible operations, and (iii) dk is a singleton set containing a well-formed ...
