Introducing Arguments

This compositional theory of verbal argument structures explores how 'noncore' arguments (i.e. arguments that are not introduced by verbal roots themselves) are introduced into argument structure, and examines cross-linguistic variation in introducing arguments.OCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record.

Genetic twists of fate

How tiny variations in our personal DNA can determine how we look, how we behave, how we get sick, and how we get well.News stories report almost daily on the remarkable progress scientists are making in unraveling the genetic basis of disease and behavior. Meanwhile, new technologies are rapidly reducing the cost of reading someone's personal DNA (all six billion letters of it). Within the nex…

Cardinals: The syntax and semantics of cardinal-containing expressions

"This book provides a semantic and syntactic analysis of nominal expressions containing complex cardinals (e.g., two hundred and thirty-five books), and shows that this analysis accounts for the internal composition of cardinal-containing expressions cross-linguistically, as well as a range of related phenomena. While there is much prior linguistic literature on numerals, this literature has no…

The final-over-final condition: A syntactic universal

An examination of the evidence for and the theoretical implications of a universal word order constraint, with data from a wide range of languages. This book presents evidence for a universal word order constraint, the Final-over-Final Condition (FOFC), and discusses the theoretical implications of this phenomenon. FOFC is a syntactic condition that disallows structures where a head-initial phr…

Transformations of Lamarckism: From Subtle Fluids to Molecular Biology

Do the Right Thing: Studies in Limited Rationality

The authors argue that a new theoretical foundation for artificial intelligence can be constructed in which rationality is a property of "programs" within a finite architecture, and their behavior over time in the task environment, rather than a property of individual decisions.Like Mooki, the hero of Spike Lee's film "Do the Right Thing," artificially intelligent systems have a hard time knowi…
