The paper is an investigation into the graph theoretic interpretation of the Bangla traditional grammar to understand the way grammatical information is structurally encoded in language. The hierarchical and the linear structural principles of grammatical compositionality is discussed in terms of certain graph theoretic concepts like tree, subtree, inverse tree etc. Translating linguistic struc...

This paper describes a framework by which creative systems can intentionally exhibit transformational creativity. Intentions are derived from surprising events in a process based on specific curiosity. We argue that autonomy of intent is achieved when a creative system directs its generative processes based on knowledge learnt from within its creative domain, and develop a framework to elaborat...

It is remarkable if any relationship at all persists between computational linguists (CL) and that part of general linguistics comprising the mainstream of MIT transformational-generative (TG) theoretical syntax. If the lines are still open, it represents something of a tribute to CL practitioners’ tolerance — a triumph of hope and goodwill over the experience of abuse — because the TG communit...

Gatys et al. (2015) showed that optimizing pixels to match features in a convolutional network with respect reference image features is a way to render images of high visual quality. We show that unrolling this gradient-based optimization yields a recurrent computation that creates images by incrementally adding onto a visual “canvas”. We propose a recurrent generative model inspired by this vi...

Bidirectional transformations (BX) play an important role in database schema/application co-evolution. In earlier work, Terwilliger introduced the theoretical concept of a Channel as a BX-based mechanism to de-couple “virtual databases” used by the application code from the actual representation of the data maintained within the DBMS. In this paper, we report on considerations and experiences i...

This paper examines negation and types of tense in Urhobo. It also identifies marker(s) the manner which these are used sentences. Transformational generative grammar theory analysis was work. The aim this study is to determine syntactic characteristics shows that negative construction Urhobo language involves doubling last vowel word sentences; or what may be called lengthening lexical item se...

BACKGROUND Male circumcision reduces the risk of female-to-male transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and is being explored for HIV prevention in Papua New Guinea (PNG). PNG has a concentrated HIV epidemic which is largely heterosexually transmitted. There are a diverse range of male circumcision and penile modification practices across PNG. Exploring the implications of male circu...

The purpose of the study was to gain a better understanding of the social and motivational antecedents of transformational leadership perceptions. Drawing on self-determination theory, a model was proposed in which perceptions of quality of relationships predict perceptions of transformational leadership behaviour through autonomous motivation and self-efficacy. Data were collected from 568 sch...

In this study we investigate the connections between transformational leadership and subordinate formal and contextual performance among Brazilian employees. We also proposed and tested two mediating processes through which transformational leaders would enhance the performance of their staff: stronger follower identification with the leader and efficacy beliefs. These relations were tested wit...

Abstract Recent work has shown how basic ideas of the minimalist tradition in transformational syntax can be captured in a simple generative formalism, a “derivational minimalism.” This framework can model “remnant movement” analyses, which yield more complex antecedent-trace relations, suggesting a new and significant sense in which linguistic structures are “chain based.” Michaelis (1998) sho...
