Beers, kaffi, and Schnaps : different grammatical options for 'restaurant talk' coercions in three Germanic languages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper discusses constructions like “We’ll have two beers and a coffee.” that are typically used for beverage orders in restaurant contexts. We compare the behaviour of nouns in these constructions in three Germanic languages, English, Icelandic, and

Evaluating the Wald Entropy from two-derivative terms in quadratic actions

open access: yes, 2011
We evaluate the Wald Noether charge entropy for a black hole in generalized theories of gravity. Expanding the Lagrangian to second order in gravitational perturbations, we show that contributions to the entropy density originate only from the ...

Semiwords and affixoids: The territory between word and affix [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper is concerned with the status of bound forms in compounds and other lexical items, but it ultimately aims at setting up a hierarchy of lexical items of various degrees of “freedom”, making use of clear-cut criteria applicable in at least one ...

Deconstructing the Subject Condition in terms of cumulative constraint violation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Chomsky (1973) attributes the island status of nominal subjects to the Subject Condition, a constraint specific to subjects. English and Spanish are interesting languages for the comparative study of extraction from subjects, because subjects in English ...

On Left and Right Dislocation: A Dynamic Perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The paper argues that by modelling the incremental and left-right process of interpretation as a process of growth of logical form (representing logical forms as trees), an integrated typology of left-dislocation and right-dislocation phenomena becomes ...

Fast and Slow Coherent Cascades in Anti-de Sitter Spacetime

open access: yes, 2018
We study the phase and amplitude dynamics of small perturbations in 3+1 dimensional Anti-de Sitter spacetime using the truncated resonant approximation, also known as the Two Time Framework (TTF).

Dynamics and transport near quantum-critical points

open access: yes, 1997
The physics of non-zero temperature dynamics and transport near quantum-critical points is discussed by a detailed study of the O(N)-symmetric, relativistic, quantum field theory of a N-component scalar field in $d$ spatial dimensions.
