The literature on categorial type logic includes proposals for semantically inactive additives, quantifiers, and modalities Morrill (1994[17]), Hepple (1990[2]), Moortgat (1997[9]), but to our knowledge there has been no proposal for semantically inactive multiplicatives. In this paper we formulate such a proposal (thus filling a gap in the typology of categorial connectives) in the context of ...

the commercial profile of the amoco cd mgcl2 supported polypropylene catalyst is presented. the development, the unique method of preparation/production, with emphasis on particle morphology, and the parameters affecting particle size (ps), particle size distribution (psd), and particle shape are discussed in detail. the outstanding performance of the catalyst, tailoredmade for the amoco-chisso...

the category of verb as the nucleus of sentence has a significant importance in grammar. this grammatical category has specific semantic and syntactic characteristics in different languages. in role and reference grammar as a functional grammar, predicates are classified into five classes including states, activities, achievements, accomplishments and active-accomplishments. these five classes ...

Modal verbs in English are challenging to learn by speakers of other languages. The purpose of thiswas to shed light on the use of gesture in learning English modal verbs by Persian-speaking children.To achieve this, 60 elementary Iranian learners, studying at some institutes in Karaj took part in thisstudy. The participants were randomly put into one experimental group and one control group. T...

It is a well-known fact that the verb-particle construction is a phenomenon at the interface between morphology and syntax. On the one hand, particle verbs in German and Dutch look like morphological objects, since they productively provide the input for further word formation processes. This is illustrated for German in (1) and (2) (cf. Booij 1990; Neeleman & Weerman 1993; Neeleman 1994 for Du...

This study used keyword method during encoding information in transferring information from short term memory to make the retrieval easier. For this purpose, 50 adult female elementary students were chosen to participate in this study. This study required two groups of learners (control and experimental groups). The experimental group enjoyed some special flashcards which each of them involved ...

To compare abstract structural and lexicalist accounts of syntactic processes in sentence formulation, we examined the effectiveness of nonidiomatic and idiomatic phrasal verbs in inducing structural generalizations. Three experiments made use of a syntactic priming paradigm in which participants recalled sentences they had read in rapid serial visual presentation. Prime and target sentences co...

The Chinese verb-result compound is productive, but its meaning and syntactic behaviors have posed challenges to theoretical and automatic analyses. Theory-wise, the current study proposes that VRs have inherent affecting direction, which argument mapping principles and selectional restrictions, event structures, or the kinds of semantic/pragmatic principles or real-world knowledge proposed by ...

The purpose of this paper is to discuss treatment of 'focus particles' in Japanese sentences to be incorporated in a Japanese parsing system based on the Lexical-Functional Grammar(LFG) formalism. Focus particle can follow nouns, quantifiers, verbs, other particles (postpositions) and auxiliary verbs. Thus, it is necessary for a large-scale grammar to treat focus particles properly. Furthermore...
