Abstract In this paper, we examine the behaviour of so‐called passive and middle aorist forms in the Greek reflected in the Genesis of the Septuagint.

A Cyclic Agree account of the Romance faire–infinitive causative: New evidence from Catalan

open access: yesSyntax, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 183-222, June 2023., 2023

Several diagnostics show that AIRs such as mezclarse ‘get mixed’ are symmetric, unaccusative, telic, and show ...

Error asymmetry in causal and anticausal regression [PDF]

open access: yesBehaviormetrika, 2017
It is generally difficult to make any statements about the expected prediction error in an univariate setting without further knowledge about how the data were generated. Recent work showed that knowledge about the real underlying causal structure of a data generation process has implications for various machine learning settings.
