     This project investigates the relationship between lexical semantics and causative morphology in the acquisition of causative/inchoative-related verbs in English as a foreign language by Iranian speakers. Results of translation and picture judgment task show although L2 learners have largely acquired the correct lexico-syntactic classification of verbs in English, they were constrained by ...

in this article, the causative alternation in persian is discussed. first, it is shown that persian anticausative verbs involve a cause component and an implicit external argument. second, we claim that causative alternation arises when a single change-of-state verb invokes more than one semantic frame (fillmore, 1985): causative frame and anticausative frame. these semantic frames are the resu...

This paper presents further research on an implemented classification and verification system that employs a novel approach for stochastically modelling movement trajectories. The models are based on Conversive Hidden non-Markovian Models that are especially suited to mimic temporal dynamics of time series as in contrast to the relative Hidden Markov Models(HMM) and the dynamic time warping(DTW...

What is the simplest formulation of Kelly's medium for primary isolation of the Lyme disease spirochete? It has been suggested that one may use brain heart infusion broth rather than tissue culture medium and that many researchers have had success deleting some ingredients. One must be cautious, however, with substitutions and deletions. Modifications that support growth of laboratory-adapted s...
