In a most recent corpus study on Persian, Faghiri & Samvelian (2014) found a significant effect of relative length in the ordering preferences between the direct and indirect objects in the preverbal domain corresponding to ”long-before-short“. They furthermore showed that the position of the direct object mainly depends on its degree of determination, and put into question the broadly accepted...

I argue that patterns of case syncretism across languages can be modelled by partially, rather than totally, ordered hierarchies. Partially hierarchies avoid the need for postulating multiple instances same while retaining contiguity in representation syncretism. discuss data from three which differential object marking is syncretic with dative and show partially capture these other line some c...

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) consists of two Application Programming Interface (API) i.e. Document Object Model (DOM) and Simple Application of XML (SAX). Previous research has used the DOM API in the Leave Application prototype. In this research, the DOM API based code that developed in the prototype will be changed to SAX API based code. The performance measurement then is carried out...

It is argued that varying word-order is related not to the marking on the arguments indicating their grammatical relations but to the syntax of object. The flexible word-order in Japanese and the lack thereof in Chinese may be attributed to the presence or absence of argument-marking, but evidence from Naxi shows that although argument-marking may help identify the semantic roles of the argumen...

The present paper presents a cross-linguistic overview of animacy effects in (differential) case marking, and provides an explanation for the attested patterns in terms of two competing case marking strategies. It is argued that the complexity of animacy effects in differential case marking is due to the fact that some of these patterns result from the differentiating function of case marking, ...
