We define Canonical Form Minimal Recursion Semantics (CF-MRS) and prove that all the well-formed MRS structures generated by the MRS semantic composition algorithm are in this form. We prove that the qeq relationships are equivalent to outscoping relations when MRS structures are in this form. This result fills the gap between some underspecification formalisms and motivates defining a Canonica...

We show that a class of cases that has been previously studied in terms of learning of abstract phonological underlying representations (URs) can be handled by a learner that chooses URs from a contextually conditioned distribution over observed surface representations. We implement such a learner in a Maximum Entropy version of Optimality Theory, in which UR learning is an instance of semisupe...

For P ∈ F2[z] with P (0) = 1 and deg(P ) ≥ 1, let A = A(P ) be the unique subset of N such that ∑ n≥0 p(A, n)zn ≡ P (z) (mod 2), where p(A, n) is the number of partitions of n with parts in A. Let p be an odd prime number, and let P be irreducible of order p ; i.e., p is the smallest positive integer such that P divides 1+ zp in F2[z]. N. Baccar proved that the elements of A(P ) of the form 2km...

UR UNDERSTA N D I N G of the development of sleep patterns in adolescents has a dvanced considerably in the last 20 years. Along the way, theoretical models of the processes underly i n g the biological regulation of sleep have improved, and certain assumptions and dogmas have been examined and found wanting. Although the full characterization of teen sleep regulation remains to be acc o m p l ...

In (1a), an epenthetic vowel is inserted in a word-final cluster: /melk/ → melex. In (1b), [ ] deletes in the coda position. As shown in (1c), the interaction of the epenthesis and deletion has been traditionally analyzed in terms of the counter-bleeding order: UR /des / first undergoes the epenthesis and then the epenthesized intermediate form [des e ] undergoes -deletion, deriving the surface...

O UR PREVIOUS OBSERVATIONS have shown that intraperitoneal administration of autohemolysates accelerates the recovery from anemia in bled dogs.13 On the basis of this and other experimental data4#{176} we reconsidered the hypothesis7’8 that red cell constituents have an erythropoietic stimulatory effect.1’6 However, it has been suggested that the above findings are due, instead, to the availabi...
