Comparative correlative constructions (the more you run, the more you sweat) are widespread across the languages of the world (Taylor, 2006). Nonetheless, the peculiarities of this construction raise questions that challenge our understanding of the syntax of this specific construction and, more broadly, of how the core and the periphery of Universal Grammar (UG) are organized (Culicover and Ja...

UG Handbook » This is one of the simplest connections between geometry and motion. The motion contains more information than the curve traced out by the particle It also aims to teach the practical calculation of these formulas and their understand and be able to calculate line, surface and volume integrals. As someone who has never taken geometry before, would it be worth doing geometry in my ...

In this article we study cocycles of discrete countable groups with values in 2G and the ring of affiliated operators UG. We clarify properties of the first cohomology of a group G with coefficients in 2G and answer several questions from De Cornulier et al. (Transform. Groups 13(1):125–147, 2008). Moreover, we obtain strong results about the existence of free subgroups and the subgroup structu...

This work investigates first-language (L1) influence on second-language (L2) acquisition of embedded aspect, comparing participants with homogeneous L1 background (Russian) in Greece (L2 Standard Modern Greek) and Cyprus (L2 Cypriot Greek), where verb complementation takes a finite form instead of an infinitival as in Russian. The focus of the experimental study is on those embedded sentential ...
