In the present paper we focus on control as a subtype of anaphora. We work with the theory of control present within the dependency-based framework of Functional Generative Description (FGD), in which control is defined as a relation of a referential dependency between a controller (antecedent – semantic argument of the main clause) and a controllee (anaphor – empty subject of the nonfinite com...

Initially, let me state that in our study, 2% of the specimens screened were elevated and 98% were normal. Now, for my Demographics, in reviewing the incidence of male vs. female applicants of amounts of insurance as outlined above. I found that 81% of our applicants were male. Consequently 19% were female. In that I indicated that 2% were elevated, the number of elevated specimens were determi...

In this paper a system which understands and conceptualizes scenes descriptions in natural language is presented. Specifically, the following components of the system are described: the syntactic analyzer, based on a Procedural Systemic Grammar, the semantic analyzer relying on the Conceptual Dependency Theory, and the dictionary.

This article develops a theoretical model to explain the variation of network structures and network dynamics according to industry and firm resource characteristics and the extent of resource dependency. It incorporates an accountability and corporate governance dimension and thereby seeks to explain the long-run processes of industrial and corporate change. To verify the theoretical framework...

This is the first in a pair of papers that aim to provide a comprehensive analysis of the semantic phenomenon of distributivity in natural language. This paper investigates and formalizes different sources of covert distributivity. Apart from lexical distributivity effects, which are modeled by meaning postulates, phrasal distributivity is captured via two covert operators: (i) a D operator dis...

A major issue in understanding how language is implemented in the brain involves understanding the use of language in language comprehension and production. However, before we look to the brain to see what areas are associated with language processing phenomena, it is necessary to have good psychological theories of the relevant behavioral phenomena. Recent results have suggested that construct...

this research deals with the concept of uniqueness in creativity as one of the artist's concerns and her personal features differentiates her from her peers in literary approach and critical view horizon based on her learned knowledge and literature.the reflection of such concept can be found in the book teyf-e- al-khialwritten by sharif al-murtazain both poetry and its criticism. the poet...

The article introduces the basic ideas and investigates the probabilistic version of rough set theory. It relies on both classification knowledge and probabilistic knowledge in analysis of rules and attributes. Rough approximation evaluative measures and one-way and two-way inter-set dependency measures are proposed and adopted to probabilistic rule evaluation. A new probabilistic dependency me...

The syntactic structure of sentences exhibits a striking regularity: dependencies tend to not cross when drawn above the sentence. We investigate two competing explanations. The traditional hypothesis is that this trend arises from an independent principle of syntax that reduces crossings practically to zero. An alternative to this view is the hypothesis that crossings are a side effect of depe...

it is well known that the chemical behavior of a compound is dependent upon the structure of itsmolecules. quantitative structure – activity relationship (qsar) studies and quantitative structure –property relationship (qspr) studies are active areas of chemical research that focus on the nature ofthis dependency. topological indices are the numerical value associated with chemical constitution...
