In this paper, we investigate the structure and interpretation of English nonrestrictive relative clauses, also often called appositive relatives and sometimes supplemental relatives. We propose that in non-restrictive relatives, relative pronouns are interpreted in situ within the pied-piped constituent at LF, using RoothHamblin alternative computation (Hamblin, 1973; Rooth, 1985, 1992, a.o.)....

Procedures controlling error rates measuring at least k false rejections, instead of at least one, are often desired while testing a large number of hypotheses. The k-FWER, probability of at least k false rejections, is such an error rate that has been introduced, and procedures controlling it have been proposed. Recently, Sarkar (2007) introduced an alternative, less conservative notion of err...

Group care for children and adolescents is widely used as a rearing environment and sometimes used as a setting in which intensive services can be provided. This consensus statement on group care affirms that children and adolescents have the need and right to grow up in a family with at least 1 committed, stable, and loving adult caregiver. In principle, group care should never be favored over...

OBJECTIVES This study compares characteristics of public conservatees placed in locked facilities with those in less restrictive settings. Given the principle of the least restrictive alternative, the study seeks to identify factors, including the role of aging and advanced age, associated with restrictive placement within conservatorship. METHODS Management Information Systems data on 1,534 ...

The likelihood ratio test statistic G(2)(dif) is widely used for comparing the fit of nested models in categorical data analysis. In large samples, this statistic is distributed as a chi-square with degrees of freedom equal to the difference in degrees of freedom between the tested models, but only if the least restrictive model is correctly specified. Yet, this statistic is often used in appli...
