The studies of agrammatism show that not all morpho-syntactic elements are impaired to the same degree and that some of this variation may be due to language-specific differences. This study investigated the production of morpho-syntactic elements in 15 Jordanian-Arabic (JA) speaking individuals with agrammatism and 15 age-matched neurologically healthy individuals. Two experiments were conduct...

In this paper, I argue for a new, theory-neutral approach to polarity effects resting upon the idea that the choice of marker for a given feature specification is determined by the choice of marker for a minimally different specification. In paradigms instantiating polarity effects, the matching of morpho-syntactic and phonological features proceeds by natural class based-rules, but is partly o...

Lineage persistence is as central to biology as evolutionary change. Important questions regarding persistence include: why do some lineages outlive their relatives, neither becoming extinct nor evolving into separate lineages? Do these long-duration lineages have distinctive ecological or morphological traits that correlate with their geologic durations and potentially aid their survival? In t...

Casearia sylvestris Swartz (Salicaceae) has been used in traditional medicine and its leaf extracts have been exhibited important pharmacological activities. The species presents morphological, chemical and genetic variation. Two varieties are considered due external morphological differences: C. sylvestris var. sylvestris and var. lingua. There are difficulties in definition of these varieties...

Skeletal muscle represents one of the most plastic tissues of our body thanks to the presence of heterogeneous population of myofibers that confer to skeletal muscle the functional plasticity necessary to modulate its morpho-fuctional properties in response to a wide range of external factors. Thus, alteration in fiber type composition represents a major component in muscle wasting associated w...

This article describes possibilities of using OntoLex as a model for creating an ontology of morpho-syntactic properties of the Russian language. For this purpose we analysed morpho-syntactic properties of Russian, given in LexInfo and then extended it with grammatical categories that are not represented or that are not correctly defined in LexInfo. The introduced supplements and adjustments en...

Part-of-speech (POS) tagging for morphologically rich languages normally requires the use of handcrafted features that encapsulate clues about the language’s morphology. In this work, we tackle Portuguese POS tagging using a deep neural network that employs a convolutional layer to learn character-level representation of words. We apply the network to three different corpora: the original Mac-M...

Tropical Morpho butterfl ies are known for their iridescence. [ 1 ] Extensive research has been dedicated to analyzing the nanoscale architecture of Morpho butterfl y wings to understand their brilliant blue or white–purple iridescence The wing scales of Morpho butterfl ies contain 3D nanostructures that produce blue iridescent colors. Incident light is diffracted from multilayered nanostructur...

Research on first language (L1) acquisition has shown that typically developing children acquire a large part of morpho-syntax by the age of 4 (Guasti, 2002). Similarly, studies investigating how children process morpho-syntactic information have revealed that by the same age, their processing routines do not differ from those used by adults (Clahsen & Felser, 2006). However, there is one struc...

Morpho is a multi-paradigm programming language developed at the University of Iceland that supports parallel programming using both fibers (coroutines) and concurrently executing tasks (threads). Communication between both tasks and fibers is through channels. Morpho is open source and an alpha version is available1.
