Many have investigated the sensitivity of face processing to both spatial frequencies and face orientation, but few have researched the sensitivity of face processing to the orientation of spatial frequencies. One recent exception has been Yu, Chai, & Chung (2011), which investigated facial expression recognition in regards to the orientation of spatial filters and showed that most information ...

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between case and free word order in Korean by providing proper LP constraints which solve the problems of the previous analyses such as Kuno's (1980) Crossing-Over Constraint (COC). Based on Cho & Chai (2000), we introduce a new type marker which includes case, postpositions, and delimiters. We also add the Adjunct LP Constraint and the A...
