The absence of classifiers in numeral classifier constructions in Vietnamese
Get PDFVietnamese is a so-called obligatory numeral classifier language. Nevertheless
it is possible to have direct combination between a numeral and a bare noun in
the absence of a go-between classifier. The goal of this squib is to investigate
the seemingly unusual cases of such Numeral-N phrases

On the relative cycle: the case of P+ che relative clauses from Old to Modern Italian
No full textIn this chapter we investigate the relative cycle in the history of Italian with the
aim of shedding light on the general principles of language change in the light
of certain recent developments in syntactic theory, in particular Kayne’s (2005)
proposal that all heads are necessarily silent
Embedded interrogatives as free relatives
Get PDFIn this work we intend to show that a typical property of North-Eastern Italian dialects
(NEIDs) namely the sequence wh-complementizer in embedded interrogatives
(which in some dialects also extends to non-standard (under the definition
by Obenauer 2006) and even standard main questions originally developed out
of a free relative structure where the complementizer is actually not a complementizer
but part of the internal structure of the wh-item heading the relative
clause

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
