Another Look at Modification in Spatial Prepositions
, 2013 The goal of this paper is to propose a unification of two strands of research within the semantics of spatial prepositions. The first strand focuses on the so-called modification problem, which can be stated as follows.

Quantifying Spatial Prepositions: an Experimental Study [PDF]
, 2008 Many aspects of spatial language concerned with relationships between spatial entities are essentially vague. Current GIS technology provides very little support for dealing with this vagueness, partially because there is a lack of quantitative data and ...

Language Learning, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 671-703, June 2026.Abstract Studies have explored the relationship between text readability and processing effort in second language (L2) reading—as evidenced by eye movements. However, these studies generally relied on short texts, raising concerns about the validity of the analyzed data. This study reexamined these relationships using open‐source eye‐tracking data from

Cross‐Linguistic Suffix Preference: Typological or Cognitive Bias?
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1560, Issue 1, June 2026.Languages can be shaped by pre‐existing cognitive machinery that makes certain properties more processable. Such properties are more frequent across world languages. Most languages prefer suffixes to prefixes for grammatical meanings. Whether such typological bias is shaped by cognitive bias is debated.

Combinatorial zeta functions counting triangles
Journal of Topology, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.Abstract In this paper, we compute special values of certain combinatorial zeta functions counting geodesic paths in the (n−1)$(n-1)$‐skeleton of a triangulation of an n$n$‐dimensional manifold. We show that they carry a topological meaning. As such, we recover the first Betti and L2$L^2$‐Betti numbers of compact manifolds, and the linking number of ...

Experimental entailments [Elektronisk resurs] : The case of spatial prepositions
, 2014 In this paper we present an experimental study on native speakers’ access to lexicalrelations among spatial relations. Our main focus is a still poorly understood domain: thelexical relations that hold between (pairs of) directional spatial prepositions (
