This study deals with the issue of mood choice in complement clauses French, which speakers may choose between indicative or subjunctive. We report on results two experiments using an elicitation task, we investigated how matrix verb, via its distributive patterns (i.e. verbs selecting only subjunctive vs. accepting either mood), tense and grammatical aspect influences clause. While role semant...

There are two ways of incorporating temporal distinctions into a system of logic: tensed theories propose to expand standard logic with intensional tense operators; tenseless theories try to make do with the resources of extensional first-order logic, by using quantification over suitably chosen temporal entities, such as metaphysically basic time points or temporal parts. My concern in this pa...

The present research examined whether lexical (whole word) or more rule-based (morphological constituent) processes can be locally biased by experimental list context in past tense verb inflection. In Experiment 1, younger and older adults completed a past tense inflection task in which list context was manipulated across blocks containing regular past tense verbs (e.g. REACH-REACHED) or irregu...

2 Abstract In this article I defend the view that many central aspects of the semantics of tense are determined by independently-motivated principles of syntactic theory. I begin by decomposing tenses syntactically into a temporal ordering predicate (the true tense, on this approach) and two time-denoting arguments corresponding to covert a reference time (RT) argument and an eventuality time (...

The disadvantage in producing the past tense of regular relative to irregular verbs shown by some patients with non-fluent aphasia has been alternatively attributed (a) to the failure of a specific rule-based morphological mechanism, or (b) to a more generalised phonological impairment that penalises regular verbs more than irregular owing to the on-average greater phonological complexity of re...

Agrammatic aphasic individuals exhibit marked production deficits for tense morphology. This paper presents three experiments examining whether a group of English-speaking agrammatic individuals (n=10) exhibit parallel deficits in their comprehension of tense. Results from two comprehension experiments (on-line grammaticality judgment studies) suggest that these individuals are impaired for ten...

English as a foreign language that is widely used in the world provides challenge to every learner. Grammar rules are one of challenges faced by learners, especially Subject-verb Agreement rules. This article aims analyze types common errors made students and determine with highest percentage found. With qualitative quantitative descriptive design, this study chose Education Study Program, FKIP...

1. Introduction This paper investigates the nature of the syntax-semantics interface through a study of the temporal interpretation of the Korean-ko construction. In Korean, matrix clauses must be tensed whereas the non-final conjunct of the-ko construction can be untensed. For example, (1) must be realized either with present (PRES) or past (PAST) tense morpheme whereas the past tense on the v...
