The standard view of English reduced auxiliaries takes them to be (postlexical) clitics (Kaisse 1983). However, Spencer (1991) puts forward some persuasive arguments that a subset of these forms, the non-syllabic reduced auxiliaries, are actually aaxes (tense innec-tions) rather than clitics, while the syllabic reduced auxiliaries are post-lexical clitics. We accept the logic of Spencer's posit...

1. INTRODUCTION. This paper discusses whether there are elements in colloquial Sinhala that can be appropriately labeled AUXILIARY verbs, and what evidence there is to motivate such a label. While auxiliaries are thought of as a nearly universal lexical category (Steele 1978), the term is not mentioned in standard works on Sinhala (Gair & Paolillo 1997, Gair 1998), which warrants a closer exami...

The synthesis of several novel chiral phosphoramidite ligands (L1-L8) with C(2) symmetric, pseudo C(2) symmetric secondary amines and chiral Brønsted acids 1a,b has been achieved. These chiral auxiliaries were obtained from commercially available d-mannitol, and secondary amines in moderate to excellent yields. Excellent diastereoselectivites of ten chiral auxiliaries were obtained. The chiral ...

Competing definitions of justice in Plato's Republic and Aristotle's Politics indicate the existence two distinct economic systems with different priorities. The three-class society Platonic economy (guardians, auxiliaries, producers) gives rise to guardians who by virtue are expected enforce output targets on producers directly or through auxiliaries. Aristotelian (rich, middle, poor) facilita...

A microwave assisted method for the synthesis of some typical 4-substituted oxazolidinone chiral auxiliaries used in asymmetric synthesis is reported in this work. Under these conditions, treatment of (S)-phenylalaninol, (S)-phenylglycinol, (S)-valinol and (1S, 2R)-norephedrine with ethyl carbonate or carbon disulfide under the appropriate and specific microwave reaction conditions, led to an e...

A large literature has been devoted to the distribution of reduced forms of English auxiliary verbs, apparently just weak forms of the corresponding full auxiliaries. Limitations on their distribution appear to involve syntactic conditions, such as that they not occur in positions immediately followed by the trace of a displaced element, which would put these elements in a class apart from pure...

OBJECTIVE To assess the occupational exposure to needlestick and sharps injuries and hepatitis B vaccination status among dental auxiliaries. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional survey of 83 dental auxiliaries was conducted that included 12 technologists, 11 therapists, 53 nurses/surgical assistants, and 7 record officers. The survey included demography, history of needlestick ...

OBJECTIVES The Affordable Care Act is predicted to increase dental benefits coverage for millions of Americans. Utilization of expanded function dental auxiliaries (EFDAs) can contribute to increased workforce capacity. Iowa currently allows EFDAs to perform certain nonrestorative procedures. This study investigated dentists' willingness to use auxiliaries for restorative procedures in order in...

Background The use of chiral auxiliaries in the synthesis of enantiomerically pure compounds has found wide application for a variety of reactions over the last three decades. Despite the extensive developments in this area by many academic and industrial research groups, new auxiliary controlled reactions continue to evolve frequently [1]. First objectives in this area have been to develop chi...
