Complexity in Predicative Arithmetic
2005Complexity classes between Grzegorczyk's E2 and E3 are characterized in terms of provable recursion in a theory EA(I;O) formalising basic principles of Nelson's Predicative Arithmetic. Extensions by inductive definitions enable full arithmetic PA and higher systems to be recaptured in a setting where the natural bounding functions are “slow” rather ...

Complex predicates and predicate raising
Lingua, 2003This paper discusses major issues that have arisen in the analysis of sentences with complex predicates in Japanese from early transformational grammar to the present minimalist program. Particular emphasis is placed on the treatment of the causative construction to assess the influence of the lexicalist hypothesis and its aftermath.

Complex predicates present different levels of complexity at the syntactic and morphological levels crosslinguistically. The focus of this book is a subset of these constructions (causative and applicative) in three polysynthetic languages of the South Caucasian language family, in which the functional morphology associated with the argument structure ...

Abstract Auxiliaries are defined as a closed subclass of verbs which (a) form part of one complex predicate in combination with an uninflected verb from a large open class; (b) take all the person, number, gender, aspect, tense, mood, and modality specifications required; and (c) impart a modal or aspectual meaning to the construction ...

The complexity of testing predicate locks
Proceedings of the 1979 ACM SIGMOD international conference on Management of data - SIGMOD '79, 1979The problem of testing predicates for satisfiability arises in several aspects of database systems such as the use of predicate locks in concurrency control [7]. Such problems are NP-complete even for "simple predicates", i.e. predicates consisting of Boolean combinations of comparisons between a field of a tuple and a constant.

Complex SQL Predicates as Quantifiers
IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, 2014We propose a logical framework to analyze complex predicates (those involving a subquery) in SQL. We propose a new operator in the relational algebra for handling such predicates, and study its properties and how it combines with traditional relational operator.

Complex predication and serialization
2023AbstractThis chapter surveys complex predicate strategies in Australian languages, concentrating on light verb constructions and verb serialization. The chapter discusses the formation of these structures, the word classes that combine to form complex predication, the morphology that characterizes such constructions, and how they differ across the ...

Abstract A striking fact about Mohawk polysynthetic observed in chapter l is that although it puts great emphasis on agreement and noun incorporation, certain other kinds of morphological structures arc relatively restricted. Mohawk does not have the diversity of “ complex predicate” constructions that some languages have, and, more ...

Complex predicates are multipredicational, but monoclausal structures. They have proven problematic for linguistic theory, particularly for proposed distinctions between the lexicon, morphology, and syntax. This volume focuses on the mapping from morphosyntactic structures to event structure, and in particular the constraints on possible mappings.
