Some habitual realist proclamations simply cannot be maintained in the face of Kirchhoff’s theory, as the realist is forced to acknowledge that theoretical success can in some circumstances be explained in ter...

Meltzer (1910) pointed out the similarity between the bronchial constriction in asthma and that seen in guinea-pigs dying of anaphylactic shock. He concluded that true bronchial asthma was anaphylactic in origin. After these observations all the clinical m...

This article proposes a Universal Dependency Annotation Scheme for Mandarin Chinese, including POS tags and dependency analysis. We identify cases of idiosyncrasy of Mandarin Chinese that are difficult to fit into the current schema which has mainly been based on the descriptions of various Indo-European languages. We discuss differences between our scheme and those of the Stanford Chinese Depe...
