We consider the semantics of prepositions, revisiting a broad-coverage annotation scheme used for annotating all 4,250 preposition tokens in a 55,000 word corpus of English. Attempts to apply the scheme to adpositions and case markers in other languages, as well as some problematic cases in English, have led us to reconsider the assumption that an adposition’s lexical contribution is equivalent...

Several studies of L2 learners’ interlanguage have addressed the complexity of the English adpositional system due to several reasons like L1 transfer, lack of knowledge in L2 and the strong collocational relations of prepositions with other elements of the English language. The major purpose of the present study is to evaluate the performance of Iranian students in dealing with three broad cat...

Cross-linguistically, the semantic extensions of certain adpositions obey an implicational scale, ranging from the situation class of prototypical ON (support from below) to prototypical IN (full containment) (Bowerman & Pederson 1992, Levinson & Meira 2003, Feist 2008). However, the nature of this phenomenon remains unresolved. Two general accounts are possible: 1) the patterned output is the ...

in this article we introduce the notion of textit{fractal $omega$-operad} emerging from  a natural $omega$-operad associated to any coglobular object in the category of higher operads in batanin's sense, which in fact is a coendomorphism $omega$-operads. we have in mind coglobular object of higher operads which algebras are kind of higher transformations. it follows that this natural $omega$-op...

Cooperative arms are two or more arms in series which assume the structure of a parallel robot on account of gripping an intermediary object, and are commonly used in accurate assembly industries, coaxialization, movement of object, etc. Gripping an intermediary object is one of the complicated subjects in analysis of cooperative arms, whose analysis is mostly dependent upon the manner the obje...
