Transitive constructions in Slovenian Sign Language (SZJ): Report on II year of Research Doctorate in Linguistics
No full textThis article provides a theoretical background and theoretical framework as well as preliminary generalisations of the generative description of three syntactic environments in Slovenian Sign Language (SZJ). It determines relations between subject, object(s) and verb in transitive, ditransitive and classifer constructions. After exploring binding, scope and nominalisation effects, thematic (deep) structure is elaborated for each construction in accordance to Binarity Principle. Then, grammatical derivations of attested word orders (surface structure or linearisation) are developed with respect to word order parameters (Head parameter) and syntactic processes (successive-cyclic Head movement). Finally, SZJ as a new entry in the typological inventory of world's languages is presented with respect to current issues of word order research
Are the Impersonals in Slovene Existentials?
No full textIn many languages there exist certain syntactic structures that have traditionally been assumed impersonal due to the lack of the audible 'human' subject, as illustrated in for Slovenian language in this presentation
Licenser under cover: The Genitive of Negation in Slovenian
No full textIn some languages there exist syntactic environments in which noun phrases of negated sentences do not take nominative or accusative case as their counterparts from the parallel affirmative sentences do. Instead, they are inflected for the genitive, usually called the genitive of negation. The article (i) reconsiders the list of these environments; (ii) describes an observation whereby the genitive of negation on the subject cancels the subject-verb agreement, triggering the default morphosyntactic form of the (auxiliary) verb; (iii) compares the distribution of the genitive of negation to the distribution of the negative-numeral nič “nothing”; and (iv) argues for the hypothesis that the genitive of negation is licensed by the covert version of the n-numeral nič “nothing”

Extremální kombinatorika matic, posloupností a množin permutací

RNDr. Pavel Valtr, Dr., Department of Applied Mathematics Abstract: This thesis studies questions from the areas of the extremal theory of {0, 1}-matrices, sequences and sets of permutations, which found many ap- plications in combinatorial and computational geometry. The VC-dimension of a set P of n-element permutations is the largest integer k such that the set of restrictions of the permutations in P on some k-tuple of positions is the set of all k! permutation patterns. We show lower and upper bounds quasiexponential in n on the maximum size of a set of n-element permutations with VC-dimension bounded by a constant. This is used in a paper of Jan Kynčl to considerably improve the upper bound on the number of weak isomorphism classes of com- plete topological graphs on n vertices. For some, mostly permutation, matrices M, we give new bounds on the number of 1-entries an n × n M-avoiding matrix can have. For example, for every even k, we give a construction of a matrix with k2 n/2 1-entries that avoids one specific k-permutation matrix. We also give almost tight bounds on the maximum number of 1-entries in matrices avoiding a fixed layered...Název práce: Extremální kombinatorika matic, posloupností a množin permutací Autor: Josef Cibulka Katedra: Katedra aplikované matematiky Vedoucí disertační práce: Doc. RNDr. Pavel Valtr, Dr., Katedra aplikované ma- tematiky Abstrakt: V této práci se zabýváme oblastmi extremální teorie {0, 1}-matic, posloupností a množin permutací, které mají četná využití v oblasti kombina- torické a výpočetní geometrie. VC-dimenze množiny n-prvkových permutací P je největší celé číslo k takové, že množina zúžení permutací z P na některou k-tici pozic je množina všech k-prvkových permutací. Projdeme všemi třemi zmíněnými oblastmi extremální kombinatoriky, abychom dokázali horní a dolní meze, rostoucí kvaziexponenciálně v n, na maximální možnou velikost množiny n- permutací s VC-dimenzí shora omezenou konstantou. Tento výsledek využívá ve svém článku Jan Kynčl k výraznému snížení horního odhadu na počet tříd slabého izomorfismu úplného topologického grafu na n vrcholech. Dále pro některé, ze- jména permutační, matice M dokážeme nové meze na počet jedniček v M-prosté {0, 1}-matici velikosti n × n. Například pro každé k zkonstruujeme matici s k2 n/2 jedničkami prostou jedné konkrétní permutační matice velikosti k ×...Katedra aplikované matematikyDepartment of Applied MathematicsFaculty of Mathematics and PhysicsMatematicko-fyzikální fakult
