Current work on universal dependency schemes in NLP does not make reference to the extensive typological research on language universals, but could benefit since many principles are shared between the two enterprises. We propose a revision of the syntactic dependencies in the Universal Dependencies scheme (Nivre et al. [16, 17]) based on four principles derived from contemporary typological the...

Researchers from multiple disciplines have proposed classification systems for waterfront transformations: generational (according to the date of their construction) and functional (based on function assigned land post-harbor use). However, an analysis based spatial features former port areas meaning transformation has been missing. This contribution is attempt fill this gap by proposing a morp...

This paper studies scenarios of cyclic dominance in a coevolutionary spatial model in which game strategies and links between agents adaptively evolve over time. The Optional Prisoner’s Dilemma (OPD) game is employed. The OPD is an extended version of the traditional Prisoner’s Dilemma where players have a third option to abstain from playing the game. We adopt an agent-based simulation approac...

We present a library of implemented HPSG analyses for argument optionality based on typological studies of this phenomenon in the world’s languages, developed in the context of a grammar customization system that pairs a crosslinguistic core grammar with extensions for non-universal phenomena on the basis of user input of typological properties. Our analyses are compatible with multiple interse...

In the spring of 2012 an archaeological survey was conducted within the Rayen region in order to explore all the archaeological periods in this region and document all archaeological settlement patterns of this region. In general, 52 archaeological sites were discovered and documented which included all prehistoric and historic sites. Among these sites, three of them seem to belong to the Paleo...

1. Introduction. It is easy to show that contact-induced change can have a profound effect on the typological profile of the receiving language. Probably the most obvious examples , and also the ones that are easiest to find, are changes in basic sentential word order. These are especially striking because it is word order features that have attracted the most attention in the typological liter...

many studies have been carried out and many methods have been used for estimating health staff re-quirements in health facilities or system, each have different advantages and disadvantages. differences in the extent to which utilization matches needs in different conditions intensify the limitations of each approach when used in iso-lation. is the utilization-based approach efficient in a situ...
