When is a cause of a cause of an effect also a cause of that effect? The right answer is either “Sometimes” or “Always”. In favour of “Always”, transitivity is considered by some to be necessary for distinguishing causes from redundant noncausal events. Moreover transitivity may be motivated by an interest in an unselective notion of causation, untroubled by principles of invidious discriminati...

It is transitivity that every word has its function and reflect different experience. Transitivity system consists of participant, process, circumstance.

To do so, it combines Systemic Functional Grammar and CDA by explicating results transitivity legal text within relevant socio-political context.

Children demonstrate a clear understanding of transitivity by the time they are four years old, if not earlier (Pye 1983, Berman 1993, Brooks and Tomasello 1999). However, exactly how they achieve such a state is far from clear. First of all, there is a question of how they start the process of acquiring transitivity. One might think that intransitive verbs would be the first to be acquired, si...

Social network data often involve transitivity, homophily on observed attributes, community structure, and heterogeneity of actor degrees. We propose a latent cluster random effects model to represent all of these features, and we develop Bayesian inference for it. The model is applicable to both binary and odel-based clustering mall world network cale-free network non-binary network data. We i...

The paper investigates the application of Halliday’s theory of transitivity in the construction of personality. The essay aims to identify and explain how the main character’s personality is portrayed and represented through language used in Hoa Pham’s “Heroic Mother”. The findings hope to prove that linguistic choices in transitivity play an important role in building up the main character of ...

In Online Social Networks (OSNs), participants can conduct rich activities, where trust is one of the most important factors for their decision making. This necessitates the evaluation of the trustworthiness between two unknown participants along the social trust paths between them based on the trust transitivity properties (i.e., if A trustsB andB trusts C, then A can trust C to some extent). ...

We examined protein residue networks (PRNs) from a local search perspective to understand why PRNs are highly clustered when having short paths is important for protein functionality. We found that by adopting a local search perspective, this conflict between form and function is resolved as increased clustering actually helps to reduce path length in PRNs. Further, the paths found via our EDS ...

We present a sound and complete graphical criterion for reading dependencies from the minimal undirected independence map of a graphoid that satisfies weak transitivity. We argue that assuming weak transitivity is not too restrictive.
