Auxiliary selection is paradoxical: categorical for some verb classes, indeterminate for others; inconsistent across languages; and misaligned with other diagnostics. After critiquing one solution to the paradox, the Auxiliary Selection Hierarchy (Sorace 2000), we propose an alternative: Parameterized Linking, which approaches the semantic underpinnings of the unaccusative/unergative distinctio...

The distribution of the allophones of /?/in certain contexts involves free variation and gradient preferences. An organized survey was conducted to elicit the judgments of 37 native Persian speakers concerning the well-formedness of /?/allophonic behavior in five different phonological positions. The results showed that the differences in judgment between the various categories are not just t...

Abstract This paper empirically tests the embedding constraints on gapping in Persian. It has been suggested that differs from other kinds of ellipsis banning embedding. However, first counter-examples literature come Following up previous experiments embedded several languages, we report results two acceptability judgment tasks. Our show that, while is overall acceptable Persian, speakers’ jud...

Abstract The spellings - ις , ιν instead of ιος ιον are a characteristic feature Koine Greek. circumstances in which they arose have constituted vexed question. Their presence Egyptian Greek documentary papyri from III BC to VIII AD stands out. Nowadays it is possible, thanks new digital tools, access all the regularized modern editions. Analysis and typological comparison allow us rethink hypo...

Accurate snow water equivalent (SWE) products are vital for monitoring hydrological processes and managing resources effectively. However, the coarse spatial resolution (typically at 25 km from passive microwave remote sensing images) of existing SWE cannot meet needs explicit modeling. Linear regression ignores autocorrelation (SA) in variables, measure SA data assimilation algorithm is not ex...

Abstract Most approaches to 3D printing at various scales are layer based, meaning they start with a CAD model that is sliced into planar print paths be translated machine code. However, this approach entails number of drawbacks, such as slow speeds, limited build volumes, allowable geometric properties, and material diversity. To overcome these limitations, the authors have developed novel add...
