Using Corpus Pattern Analysis (CPA) To Recognize Meanings of Zadan [PDF]
زبان پژوهی, 2022 With the advent of huge corpora in recent decades, there has appeared a tendency among researchers to utilize them in lexicography. According to Miller (2018), a major issue involved in Persian lexicography is the presence of light verbs.

Complex Predicates and the Functional Sequence
Nordlyd: Tromsø University Working Papers on Language & Linguistics, 2008 In this paper I argue that a fine-grained functional hierarchy of semantically contentful categories such as Tense, Aspect, Initiation, and Process has explanatory power in understanding the crosslinguistic distribution of complex predicates.

Converbal constructions in Selkup
Eesti ja Soome-ugri Keeleteaduse Ajakiri, 2020 In Selkup, converbs and converbal constructions are extensively used in a wide range of different syntactic functions. However, the corpus data show significant differences regarding the frequency within the individual Selkup dialectal groups (Northern ...

Creating Surprise in Complex Predication
Nordlyd: Tromsø University Working Papers on Language & Linguistics, 2008 In many languages, the verbs take and go may combine with another predicate to yield an inceptive reading, where the onset of the event denoted by the main predicate is in some sense focalized. Some of these cases have a touch of surprise, unexpectedness,

Constructions à prédicats légers et quasi-légers [PDF]
, 1991 Nous proposons d’étendre la classe des prédicats légers (lights verbs) pour y inclure les verbes causatifs et à restructuration de l’italien. Leur structure d’argument contient des positions vides et ils forment des prédicats complexes avec des prédicats

On the complexity of Gödel's proof predicate [PDF]
The Journal of Symbolic Logic, 2010 AbstractThe undecidability of first-order logic implies that there is no computable bound on the length of shortest proofs of valid sentences of first-order logic. Some valid sentences can only have quite long proofs. How hard is it to prove such “hard” valid sentences?

On Automated Lemma Generation for Separation Logic with Inductive Definitions [PDF]
, 2015 Separation Logic with inductive definitions is a well-known approach for deductive verification of programs that manipulate dynamic data structures. Deciding verification conditions in this context is usually based on user-provided lemmas relating the ...

Quantum communication complexity of symmetric predicates [PDF]
, 2002 We completely (that is, up to a logarithmic factor) characterize the bounded-error quantum communication complexity of every predicate $f(x,y)$ depending only on $|x\cap y|$ ($x,y\subseteq [n]$). Namely, for a predicate $D$ on $\{0,1,...,n\}$ let $\ell_0(
