Hopper and Thompson (1980) defined a multiaxis theory of transitivity that goes beyond simple syntactic transitivity and captures how much “action” takes place in a sentence. Detecting these features requires a deep understanding of lexical semantics and real-world pragmatics. We propose two general approaches for creating a corpus of sentences labeled with respect to the Hopper-Thompson transi...

We analyze a corpus of historical texts in terms of complex network theory. This is done by means of the Patrologia Latina, a collection of Latin documents that were written over a period of more than 1,000 years. We perform a lemmatization of this corpus and map its documents onto the end of the productive period of the corresponding authors. By means of this temporal ordering, we perform a tr...

The aim of this work is to study an essential property in the framework of fuzzy preference structures, which is the transitivity. In particular, we discuss the relationship between the transitivity of a fuzzy large preference relation R and the transitivity of the fuzzy strict preference relation P obtained from R when every pair of elements can be compared. We consider some of the most import...

We consider the class of Rn extensions of Anosov diffeomorphisms on infranilmanifolds, and find necessary and sufficient conditions for topological transitivity. In particular, if the fiber is R, the existence of a semi-orbit with the projection on R unbounded from above and from below is equivalent to topological transitivity. We also show that in the above class topological transitivity and s...

Transitivity in trust is very often considered as a quite simple property, trivially inferable from the classical transitivity defined in mathematics, logic, or grammar. In fact the complexity of the trust notion suggests evaluating the relationships with the transitivity in a more adequate way. In this paper, starting from a socio-cognitive model of trust, we analyze the different aspects and ...

In this contribution, the transitivity property of commutative first-order linear timevarying systems is investigated with and without initial conditions. It is proven that transitivity property of first-order systems holds with and without initial conditions. On the base of impulse response function, transitivity of commutation property is formulated for any triplet of commutative linear time-...
