A lemma of Tits establishes a connection between the simple connectivity of an incidence geometry and the universal completion of an amalgam induced by a sufficiently transitive group of automorphisms of that geometry. In the present paper, we generalize this lemma to intransitive geometries, thus opening the door for numerous applications. We treat ourselves some amalgams related to intransiti...

This Study, entitled "A New Perspective on the State of Transitive and Intransitive Verb" is an attempt to propose another classification work in terms power. Because what noted that power has been very thoroughly studied, abandoned after division over " Intransitive". study seeks quantify extent workforce basis identification classification, then naming Verbs.
 The divided into two sectio...

In addition to the transitive and intransitive, ergative languages of the Polynesian group commonly have another type of construction, which is called middle. The middle construction stands somewhere in between the transitive and the intransitive. It involves two arguments, but crucially is syntactically intransitive. The subject appears in ABS, not ERG. The logical object appears in some obliq...

This publication reviews the framework of abstract competition, which is aimed at studying complex systems with competition in their generic form. Although the concept of abstract competition has been derived from a specific field--modelling of mixing in turbulent reacting flows--this concept is, generally, not attached to a specific phenomenon or application. Two classes of competition rules, ...

In this paper I analyze the morphosyntactic alternations involving the causative morpheme ̃in Hupa, an Athapaskan language. The distribution of this morpheme is of interest because it is intermediate between that of what might be called a ‘lexical’ causative, and that of a syntactic causative which takes a clausal complement. I will argue that a uniform treatment may be given for ̃in structural t...

The subject of this paper are infinite, locally finite, vertex-transitive median graphs. It is shown that the finiteness of the Θ-classes of such graphs does not guarantee finite blocks. Blocks become finite if, in addition, no finite sequence of Θ-contractions produces new cut-vertices. It is proved that there are only finitely many vertex-transitive median graphs of given finite degree with f...

In this paper, I argue that German shows a phenomenon formally akin to an ergative split. While transitive verbs as in (1a) show a NOM/ACC case pattern with the external argument marked nominative and the internal argument marked accusative (cf. 1b), it can be shown that with reflexively marked anticausatives as in (2a) the nominative theme is base-generated in a position c-commanded by the acc...
