Is Word Order Asymmetry Mathematically Expressible?
Biolinguistics, 2013 The computational procedure for human natural language (CHL) shows an asymmetry in unmarked orders for S, O, and V. Following Lyle Jenkins, it is speculated that the asymmetry is expressible as a group-theoretical factor (included in Chomsky’s third ...

Word Order Variables in Patzun Kaqchikel
Kansas Working Papers in Linguistics, 2011 This paper presents word order variables in Patzun Kaqchikel. I investigate how word order variables of (in)definiteness and animacy interact with SVO, VOS, and VSO word order in statements and questions in Patzun Kaqchikel spoken in the southern ...

What preschool children do and do not do with ungrammatical word orders [PDF]
, 2001 Akhtar [J. Child Lang. 26 (1999) 339.] found that when 4-year-old English-speaking children hear novel verbs in transitive utterances with ungrammatical word orders (e.g., Elmo the tree meeked), they correct them to canonical SVO order almost all of the ...

Acta Universitatis Carolinae Philologica, 2017 The aim of the study is to offer a hypothesis that, among other defects of Marcus Terentius Varro’s style, it might have been also his word-order that contributed to not very high appraisal of aesthetic values of his work by his contemporaries and ...

Word order in French: the role of animacy
Glossa, 2021 A major goal of the quantitative study of syntax has been to identify factors that have predictive power on speaker choices in the face of word-order or valence alternations (e.g. Arnold et al. 2000; Bresnan et al.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

On describing word order [PDF]
, 2010 One aspect that is always discussed in language descriptions, no matter how short they may be, is word order. Beginning with Greenberg 1963, it has been common to talk about word order using expressions such as "X is an SOV language", where "S ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?
