Panitsa, G. "Aspects of aspect : the acquisition of viewpoint and situation aspect in Modern Greek." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2010. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/118204/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis describes the acquisition of aspect in Modern Greek. The morphology, syntax and semantics of aspect are presented and discussed. We look especially at C. Smith's theory of viewpoint and situation aspect. Smith's situation aspect theory is based on the Vendlerian classification of verb phrases into Activity, Achievement, Accomplishment and State; plus a category of Semelfactives. As aspect is a property of the whole verb phrase, and in the light of its ‘interaction’ with aspectual adverbials, aspectual coercion is discussed. Further, we look at the role of adverbial expressions in the determination of aspect and at the positioning of aspectual adverbials in children’s grammars. The continuity and the maturation hypotheses are discussed in developing a theory of the acquisition of aspect and children's awareness and mastery of the system is examined. We carried out two experiments at a nursery school in Greece to look at viewpoint and situation aspect and their interaction in children's grammars. The first was a sentence-picture matching task and the second an elicited imitation task. We investigated patterns in the acquisition of viewpoint aspect by the children and how these were affected by situation aspect across the ages. It is shown that the way children combine aspectual adverbials with verbs marked for viewpoint aspect provides insights into their acquisition of the semantics of aspect. This is further looked at in terms of the means children employ towards an adult target response: omission of the aspectual adverbial; changing of the aspectual marking on the verb, substitution of one aspectual adverbial for another one. Regarding the positioning of aspectual adverbials in children’s grammars, it is found that they place them in immediately post-verbal position. Finally we examined children's comprehension of the semantics of perfective vs imperfective viewpoint aspect and their ability to successfully combine aspectual adverbials with verbs set for the perfective or imperfective value.

Kiyota, Masaru. "Situation aspect and viewpoint aspect : from Salish to Japanese." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/586.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates lexical and grammatical aspect in two unrelated languages, Sencoten(the Saanich dialect of Straits Salish) and Japanese. In particular, the main focus is on how various perfect readings are derived in the two languages, which show striking similarities in this respect.
In Sencoten, a particle kwlh yields various readings depending on the situation aspect and viewpoint aspect of the predicate with which it occurs (Kiyota 2006b). These various readings include an inceptive reading, an on-going situation reading, and a completion reading. The Japanese aspectual marker -tei- also induces a range of different readings: a progressive reading, a resultant state reading, and a perfect reading (Ogihara 1998a, Nishiyama 2006, a.o.).
To account for these various readings, I propose that both kwlh in Sencoten and -tei- in Japanese are perfect markers. However, the actual semantic function of each is different: kwlh in Sencoten introduces a perfect time span (Pancheva 2003), whereas -tei- in Japanese denotes an anteriority relation between an event time and a reference time (Reichenbach 1947, Klein 1992, 1994), where the event time can be the time interval of a sub-event of a larger event. -Tei- also has a pragmatic component (or presupposition), just as Portner (2003) claims for the English perfect.
Aspectual properties of predicates also play a crucial role in yielding the range of different readings. Therefore, this thesis also proposes a new aspectual classification of predicates in Sencoten and Japanese, which departs from the common classification of predicates based on Indo-European languages.
In Sencoten, various readings are derived by interaction between the semantics of verbal predicates (i.e. lexical aspect), the semantics of the grammatical aspect (perfective or imperfective), and the semantics (and possibly pragmatics) of the perfect. In Japanese, the range of interpretations is due to interaction between the semantics of verbal aspect, the function of an adverb, and the semantics and pragmatics of the perfect. In other words, the same factors enter into my analysis of both Sencoten and Japanese, though there is one striking difference between the two languages: the perfective/imperfective opposition is involved in Sencoten, but not in Japanese.

Full textAbstract:
Requirement engineering is the most important phase within the software development phases since it is used to extract requirements from the customers which are used by the next phases for designing and implementation of the system. Because of its importance, this thesis focuses on the term aspect oriented requirement engineering, which is the first phase in aspect oriented software development used for the identification and representation of requirements gathered in the form of concerns. Besides the overall explanation of aspect oriented requirement engineering phase, detail attention is given to a specific activity within AORE phase called conflict resolution. Several techniques proposed for conflict resolution between aspects is discussed along with an attempt to give a new idea in the form of an extension of the already proposed model for conflict resolution. The need for extension to the already proposed model is justified by the use of a case study which is applied on both the models i.e. on the original model and on the extended model to compare the results.Krav engineering är den viktigaste fasen inom mjukvaruutveckling faser eftersom det är användas för utvinning av krav från kunder som används av de följande faserna för utformning och genomförandet av systemet. På grund av dess betydelse, denna avhandling fokuserar på sikt aspekt orienterade krav på teknik, som är den första fasen i aspekt Orienten mjukvaran utveckling används för identifiering och representation krav som samlats in i form av oro. Förutom det övergripande förklaring av aspekt oriented Kravet tekniska fasen, detalj uppmärksamhet ges till en specifik verksamhet inom AORE fasen kallas konfliktlösning. Flera metoder som föreslås för konfliktlösning mellan aspekter diskuteras tillsammans med ett försök att ge en ny idé i form av en utvidgning av redan föreslagna modellen för konflikt resolution. Behovet av förlängning av redan föreslagna modellen är motiverad av att använda en fallstudie som appliceras på båda modellerna dvs i den ursprungliga modellen och om den utvidgade modell för att jämföra resultat.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation contains three studies, which explore various
questions about verbal aspect and how it is affected by the process
of nominalization. The first study examines the type of regular
eventive nominalizations in Slavic and Germanic languages, which
comprise verbal and resultative nouns. It is shown that the
availability of these nominalization types depends on how the
values of two aspectual parameters are set up in particular
languages. The second study deals with English -er, and French
-eur deverbal nouns, which denote external arguments. Four
different types of reading are recognized for these nouns: episodic,
habitual, dispositional, and occupational/instrument readings. The
observed variation is accounted for by means of the notion of a
stage of an individual or a kind. The last study investigates in more
detail the meaning of resultative nominals. They are claimed to have
a meaning which parallels that of the perfect aspect in the sentential
domain. The overall conclusion is that aspect plays a significant role
in the semantics of deverbal nominals.Aquesta tesi ofereix tres estudis que exploren diverses qüestions sobre l’aspecte verbal i come està afectat pel procés de nominalització. El primer estudi examina les nominalitzacions eventives regulars les llengües eslaves i germàniques, específicament els noms verbals i resultatius. Es mostra que la possibilitat d’aquests tipus de nominalitzacions depèn de com els valors de dos paràmetres aspectuals es configuren en llengües concretes. El segon estudi se centra en els noms deverbals en -er d’anglès i en -eur de francès, que denoten arguments externs. S’identifica quatre intepretacions diferents per aquests noms: episòdica, habitual, de disposició, i ocupacional / instrument. La variació observada s’explica mitjançant la noció d’estadi (stage) d’un individu o d’una classe d’individus (kind). L’últim estudi investiga amb més detall el significat dels nominals resultatius. S’argumenta que aquests nominalitzacions tenen un significat paral·lel a la de l’aspecte perfecte en el domini oracional. La conclusió global de la tesi és que aspecte juga un paper fonamental en la semàntica dels noms deverbals.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the grammatical aspect markers of an extremely endangered language, Coeur d’Alene. Coeur d’Alene is a Southern Interior Salish language spoken by two remaining fluent speakers in Northern Idaho. The Coeur d’Alene aspect system has not previously been subject to a formal analysis. There are three grammatical aspects in the language, traditionally called the completive (∅), customary (ʔec-) and continuative (ʔic-). In this thesis I reanalyze the completive as a standard perfective, the customary as a general imperfective and the continuative as a progressive. The thesis provides data on the different readings that these grammatical aspects induce on the four Vendlerian verb classes of activities, states, accomplishments and achievements. I adopt the semantics used by Bar-el (2005), who follows the formal model of aspect laid out by Rothstein (2004) to analyze the Squamish language.Arts, Faculty of

One of the major challenges in aspect-oriented programming is that aspects may have unintended impacts on a base program. Thus, it is important to develop techniques and tools that can both summarize the impacts and provide information about the causes of the impacts. This thesis presents impact analyses for AspectJ. Our approach detects different ways advice and inter-type declarations interact and interfere with the base program and focuses on four kinds of impacts, \emph{state impacts} which cause changes of state in the base program, \emph{computation impacts} which cause changes in functionality by adding, removing or replacing computations of the base program, \emph{shadowing impacts} which cause changes of field reference in the base program, and \emph{lookup impacts} which cause changes of method lookup in the base program. We provide a classification scheme for these kinds of impacts and then develop a set of static analyses to estimate these impacts. A key feature of our approach is the use of points-to analysis to provide more accurate estimates. Further, our analysis results allow us to trace back to find the causes of the impacts. We have implemented our techniques in the AspectBench compiler. By implementing them in an AspectJ compiler, all kinds of pointcuts, advice and inter-type declarations can be analyzed. We also have integrated these analyses into an AspectJ IDE and provided a two-way navigation between impacts and program source code. In addition, we have carried out experiments on example programs and benchmarks to investigate the results of our analyses.L'un des principaux d\'efis de la programmation orient\'ee aspect est queles aspects peuvent avoir des effets non voulus sur le programme debase.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, 2007.Includes bibliographical references (p. 143-151).
Languages that have aspectually-conditioned ergativity splits generally oppose a "perfect" tense (often called perfective or aorist), with ergative-absolutive case pattern, to an imperfective where case marking follows the nominative-accusative pattern. The split exists in main clauses in several northern Je languages, among which Mebengokre, though in a slightly different form. MRbengokre opposes two verbal forms that roughly express an aspectual opposition between a "perfect", and a perfective or unmarked aspect. Rather than being two forms of the verb that differ simply in an aspectual feature, however, these forms (herein referred to as A and B, respectively) differ in many important respects: 1. Form A: (a) has a wide range of temporally stative interpretations when not embedded; (b) heads ergative-absolutive clauses; (c) is the only verbal form that can be embedded; (d) when embedded, its temporal and aspectual interpretation depend on that of the main clause; 2. Form B: (a) has a perfective interpretation; advances narrative time; (b) heads nominative-accusative clauses; (c) can't be embedded. In this dissertation, I propose that the opposition between the A and the B form boils down to an opposition between a truly verbal form (the B form) and a nominal form of the verb (the A form), and that the change in category explains both the ergative marking and the perfect interpretation associated with the A form. I argue that nominalization underlies many aspectually-conditioned splits described in the literature, as well as being at the core of the perfect construction in languages such as French and Italian. For the analysis to go through, two propositions have to be worked out: (i) that ergativity is a given when there is nominalization, and (ii) that the interpretation of a nominalization used as a main clause is in fact that of the perfect.
(cont.) To work out (ii), matrix clauses constructed with nominal forms of the verb are treated as a special case of existential sentences, which in M~bengokre are verbless clauses of the form [[Location], [NP]J]. I propose that the interpretation of nominalizations as main clauses, like the interpretation of nominal clauses, is effected by the existential frame "There is an x in y", i.e., one where the main "predicate" is the nuclear scope x of an existential, which requires a locative restriction y. In existentials constructed with plain nominals, this restrictor is provided by the locative, dative or possessive PP. In existentials constructed with a nominalization, the restrictor is a time span. This span, which is distinct from topic time, is what gives nominal clauses their "subject-oriented" or "background" interpretation, as opposed to truly verbal clauses, which get linked to topic time and are interpreted perfectively by default.

Full textAbstract:
Le développement des programmes rencontre actuellement des difficultés pour la séparation des préoccupations qui le composent. Elles sont entrelacées et leur code est éparpillé dans le programme. La programmation orientée-aspect a pour but de rendre modulaires les préoccupations et de fournir les outils pour les mélanger entre elles et au programme. Après avoir analysé en détail quatre systèmes orientés-aspect majeurs, ce mémoire présente un modèle à grains fins, les " lentilles ". Elles sont regroupées par niveaux d'abstraction. Le premier stade est le " flot " qui peut entrer en intersection avec d'autres flots. Le second stade est l' " aspect " qui est appliqué de façon clairement localisée au programme. L'objectif principal ici est l'expression de la structure du programme, afin de la rendre visible et modifiable dynamiquement. Le modèle permet d'avancer d'un pas dans la distinction entre architecturation du programme et développement des composants. Le métier d'architecte des programmes, qui possède l'outil de composition, et séparé de celui de développeur, qui manipule le langage de programmationCurrent programming technologies do not able to clearly separate crosscutting concerns. The code of a concern is scattered into the program components. After having detailed and analysed four main aspect-oriented systems, this report presents a fine-grained model. These grains, the "lenses", are grouped to create more abstract components. The first step of the report describes a "flow" as a chain of lenses. A program can be defined as a set of intersecting flows. The second step of the report comes to the "aspect" concept, applied onto specified points of the program. These abstract groups (flows and aspects) are exactly shaped like lenses. Thus the model is consistent from the bottom level (classes) to the more abstract ones (groups, and groups of groups). The main goal of this report is to enable to express as brightly as possible the structure of the program. The model walks on the way which aims at splitting the program architecture building phase from the component writing phase. Architect is a job which requires composition skills and tools. It is to be separated from the developer job which uses and manipulates the program language to write components

Full textAbstract:
Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) aims to enhance modularity and reusability in software systems by offering an abstraction mechanism to deal with crosscutting concerns. But, in most general-purpose aspect languages aspects have almost unrestricted power, eventually conflicting with these goals. This work presents Effective Aspects: a novel approach to embed the pointcut/advice model of AOP in a statically-typed functional programming language like Haskell; along two main contributions. First, we define a monadic embedding of the full pointcut/advicemodel of AOP. Type soundness is guaranteed by exploiting the underlying type system, in particular phantom types and a new anti-unification type class. In this model aspects are first-class, can be deployed dynamically, and the pointcut language is extensible, therefore combining the flexibility of dynamically-typed aspect languages with the guarantees of a static type system. Monads enable us to directly reason about computational effects both in aspects and base programs using traditional monadic techniques. Using this we extend the notion of Open Modules with effects, and also with protected pointcut interfaces to external advising. These restrictions are enforced statically using the type system. Also, we adapt the techniques of EffectiveAdvice to reason about and enforce control flow properties as well as to control effect interference. We show that the parametricity-based approach to effect interference falls short in the presence of multiple aspects and propose a different approach using monad views, a novel technique for handling the monad stack, developed by Schrijvers and Oliveira. Then, we exploit the properties of our model to enable the modular construction of new semantics for aspect scoping and weaving. Our second contribution builds upon a powerful model to reason about mixin-based composition of effectful components and their interference, based on equational reasoning, parametricity, and algebraic laws about monadic effects. Our contribution is to show how to reason about interference in the presence of unrestricted quantification through pointcuts. We show that global reasoning can be compositional, which is key for the scalability of the approach in the face of large and evolving systems. We prove a general equivalence theorem that is based on a few conditions that can be established, reused, and adapted separately as the system evolves. The theorem is defined for an abstract monadic AOP model; we illustrate its use with a simple version of the model just described. This work brings type-based reasoning about effects for the first time in the pointcut/advice model, in a framework that is expressive, extensible and well-suited for development of robust aspect-oriented systems as well as a research tool for new aspect semantics.

Full textAbstract:
Aspect-oriented programming is a relatively new approach to programming that is design to resolve issues of separation of concerns. Rather than focusing on commonality of objects, as in object-oriented programming, aspect –oriented programming focuses on commonality of concerns, or more precisely as described by experts in the field, of "cross-cutting concerns." These are aspects that cut across different modules of a program, such as security and authentication issues.
While much research in the area has focused on developing programming languages, little attention has been given to dealing with aspects in the software development process and the Unified Modeling Language. This thesis will examine how aspects are created during the software development process and how they can be modeled in the UML.

La Programación Orientada a Aspectos (AOP) apunta a mejorar la modularidad y reusabilidad en sistemas de software al ofrecer un mecanismo de abstracción para manejar crosscutting concerns. Sin embargo, en la mayoría de los lenguajes orientados a aspectos; los aspectos tienen poder casi sin restricciones, lo que eventualmente entra en conflicto con las metas anteriores. En este trabajo presentamos EffectiveAspects: un nuevo enfoque para incorporar el modelo AOP de pointcut/advice en un lenguaje funcional estáticamente tipeado como Haskell.
Como primera contribución, definimos una incorporación completa del modelo de pointcut/advice al lenguaje, usando mónadas. La coherencia de tipos se garantiza explotando el sistema de tipos subyacente, en particular phantom types y una nueva type class que implemente un algoritmo de anti-unificación. Los aspectos son de primera clase, pueden ser desplegados dinámicamente, y el lenguaje de pointcuts es extensible; por lo tanto combina la flexibilidad de lenguajes de aspectos dinámicamente tipeados con las garantías de un sistema de tipos estático. Las mónadas nos permiten razonar directamente sobre los efectos tanto en los aspectos como en los programas base mediante técnicas monádicas tradicionales. Con esto, extendemos la noción de Open Modules propuesta por Aldrich con efectos y con pointcuts protegidos, que son interfaces que restringen la aplicación externa de advice. Estas restricciones son enforzadas estáticamente usando el sistema de tipos. También, adaptamos las técnicas de EffectiveAdvice para razonar y enforzar propiedades del flujo de control; así como también adaptamos su enfoque basado en parametricidad para controlar la interferencia de efectos. Luego de mostrar que este último enfoque no es suficiente en presencia de múltiples aspectos, proponemos un nuevo enfoque basado en monad views, una nueva técnica para manejar mónadas, desarrollada por Schrijvers y Olivera.
Nuestra segunda contribución se basa en un poderoso modelo para razonar sobre la composición de componentes basados en mixins que incorporan efectos computacionales. Este modelo se basa en razonamiento ecuacional, parametricidad y leyes algebráicas de las mónadas. Nuestra contribución es mostrar cómo razonar sobre interferencia en la presencia de cuantificación sin restricción, a través de pointcuts. Mostramos que el razonamiento global puede ser composicional, lo que es clave para la escalabilidad de nuestro enfoque en el contexto de grandes sistemas que evolucionan.
Demostramos un teorema general de equivalencia que se basa en algunas condiciones que pueden ser establecidas, reutilizadas y adaptadas por separado a medida que el sistema evoluciona. El teorema está definido en términos de un modelo abstracto de AOP monádico.
Este trabajo desarrolla técnicas de razonamiento de efectos, basadas en tipos, para el modelo pointcut/advice, en un modelo que es expresivo y extensible; y que permite el desarrollo de aplicaciones orientadas a aspecto robustas y la experimentación con nuevas semánticas de AOP.

Zegarac, Vladimir. "Tense, aspect and relevance." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 1991. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1349786/.
Full textAbstract:
The main aim of this thesis is to consider some consequences of the relevance theory of Sperber and Wilson (1986) for explaining a number of phenomena relating to verbal aspect. Chapter one introduces some basic notions relating to aspect and illustrates the interaction of aspect and tense and gives an outline of the main tenets of relevance theory. Chapter two considers the aspectual categories (simple-progressive) of English and (perfective-imperfective) of Serbo- Croat in relation to each other, and also in relation to the the classification of verbs according to the situation types they denote. Problems of defining the aspectual categories of these two languages are examined, and the suggestion is put forward that relevance theory provides the framework which makes it possible to maintain a fairly austere semantics of aspectual categories as well as to explain aspectual choice. Chapter three examines the treatment of aspectual categories in terms of subjectivity. It is argued that speakers' intuitions about the aspectual categories being expressive of subjectivity can be explained pragmatically, in terms of the notions of loose use and interpretive use. In Chapter four, I argue that in addition to the feature of completion, the semantics of aspectual categories of both English and Serbo-Croat needs to be characterised in terms of reference to particular events instantiating the property denoted by the predicate. I show how this assumption makes it possible to explain a number of uses of the English progressive. I then proceed to argue that the progressive of English and the perfective of Serbo-Croat differ with regard to completion but that they both point indexically, as it were, to a particular event instantiating the property denoted by the predicate. This assumption is shown to be crucial in explaining aspectual choice in the two languages. Although the data discussed are drawn solely from English and Serbo-Croat, the central ideas presented should carry over to Slavonic languages in general. Chapter five looks at situation type aspect in the light of Sperber and Wilson's (1986) view that conceptual information is stored in three types of entries. It is shown that the difference in the behaviour of verbs which intuitively seems to correlate with dynamicness and stativity, is best explained in terms of a three-way distinction determined by meaning postulate-like rules in the logical entries of concepts for individual verbs. I also give evidence in support of the view that accomplishment VPs fall into two classes depending on whether or not they grammaticalise completion, and I show that the grammaticalisation of completion in some predicates of this type is pragmatically explained.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I draw on Wittgensteinian philosophical thought to critically explore Nietzsche’s diagnosis of (and proposed therapy for) the alleged malaise in modernity. In chapter 1, I argue that Wittgenstein’s concepts of aspect-seeing and certainty provide the resources to resolve several apparently contradictory claims Nietzsche makes about the predicament of his fellow moderns. I show that the condition Wittgenstein calls ‘aspect-blindness’ offers a unified account of the predicament Nietzsche describes. In chapter 2, I explore Nietzsche’s claim that some overarching framework (what Wittgenstein calls a ‘form of life’) has ‘died’. I argue that the pathological attitude of Wittgenstein’s interlocutor towards frameworks provides the most satisfactory model for understanding the nature of the supposed ‘death’ of frameworks in modernity. In chapter 3, I argue that Nietzsche’s proposed remedy for the malaise of modernity is a form of therapy akin to Wittgenstein’s attempt to free his readers from a picture which holds them captive. I show that our understanding of Nietzsche’s therapeutic method will be improved if we bear in mind certain distinctions and ambiguities highlighted by Wittgensteinian discussion of pictures. In chapter 4, I address the concern that Nietzsche appears to characterise modernity in two contradictory ways as both excessively and insufficiently emotional and excessively and insufficiently sceptical. I resolve the appearance of contradiction by showing that (on Nietzsche’s view) the moderns are inherently prone to extreme shifts between poles and that many of the apparent emotions and ideals of the moderns are ‘fake’.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Engenharia InformáticaDomain analysis (DA) consists of analyzing properties, concepts and solutions for a given domain of application. Based on that information, decisions are made concerning the software development for future application within that domain. In DA, feature modeling is used to describe common and variable requirements for software systems. Nevertheless, they show a limited view of the domain. In the mean time, requirement approaches can be integrated to specify the domain requirements. Among them, we have viewpoint oriented approaches that stand out by their simplicity, and efficiency organizing requirements. However, none of them deals with modularization of crosscutting subjects. A crosscutting subject can be spread out in several requirement documents. In this work we will use a viewpoint oriented approach to describe the domain requirements extended with aspects. Aspect-oriented domain analysis (AODA) is a growing area of interest as it addresses the problem of specifying crosscutting properties at the domain analysis level. The goal of this area is to obtain a better reuse at this abstraction level through the advantages of aspect orientation. The aim of this work is to propose an approach that extends domain analysis with aspects also using feature modeling and viewpoints

Phan, Trang. "Syntax of Vietnamese aspect." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2013. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/4701/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is two-fold: to develop an articulated Vietnamese clause structure in two syntactic domains: VP-external and VP-internal in the spirit of generative grammar, and to see how this functional architecture is supported empirically from the perspective of second language acquisition. To address theoretical issues, on the one hand, it brings together interesting semantic and syntactic contrasts of aspectual morphemes in Vietnamese, i.e., the distributional and interpretative independence of Vietnamese tense and aspect as well as the way they interact with other syntactic phenomenon such as negation, quantification and definiteness. On the other hand, it reveals to what extent the mechanisms that Vietnamese recruits to encode aspect are different from those employed in Indo- European languages and other areally-related languages, especially including Chinese. Based on a detailed semantic-syntactic investigation of Vietnamese aspect, the thesis sets out the properties that need to be acquired by Chinese learners. It distinguishes between those properties which are acquirable without difficulties and those that are ‘problematic’ in order to verify the proposed Vietnamese functional clause. It also sets out to validate some recent hypotheses in the realm of second language acquisition. The thesis is organized as follows. Chapter 1 sets out the theoretical approach of the thesis. Chapter 2 systematically reviews a set of semantic and syntactic studies on aspect that are relevant to the discussion. Chapter 3 lays out previous research on Vietnamese tense and aspect as points of departure for my proposals. Chapters 4 and 5 are devoted to an analysis of how tense and aspect are realized in Vietnamese both pre- and post-verbally. Chapter 6 provides a brief comparison between Vietnamese and Chinese aspectual systems, focusing on the particular properties investigated in the following chapter. Chapter 7 presents a set of experiments examining Chinese learners’ acquisition of Vietnamese aspect-related constructions, these shed light on current generativist hypotheses about second language acquisition. Chapter 8 concludes the thesis.

Hill, Patrick. "Aspect-oriented music representation." Thesis, Open University, 2007. http://oro.open.ac.uk/43255/.
Full textAbstract:
The composition of a musical work may be viewed as involving the exploitation, through various combinations, transformations and arrangements, of a finite set of compositional processes and musical materials. As a consequence, combinatorial and transformational processes and musical materials across various musical dimensions tend to be scattered throughout a musical work. Although the processes involved in music composition vary widely between composers, and indeed between works, in general these processes tend to be iterative, with the composer creating and revising musical materials within and between different musical dimensions and concerns. When musical materials are modified, related musical structures must also be updated, in order to maintain musical coherence. However, in general, the relationships that exist between musical materials are not explicitly notated. Although for many composers this process may be unconscious, we hypothesize that tools for identifying, creating, organising, modifying and manipulating such related structures explicitly would have numerous applications for composers, teachers and analysts. The aim of the research described in this thesis is to find ways in which Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP), and cognate techniques, may be used to facilitate the development of computer systems that support musical composition by assisting in the separation, organisation and combination of musical concerns. We investigate the semantics of crosscutting within a musical context and use this to evolve an Aspect Oriented Music Representation (AOMR), and a concrete proof-of-concept implementation of AOMR called AspectMusic. AOMR demonstrates how two different, current approaches to AOP, namely symmetric and asymmetric, can be usefully applied to the separation, composition and conditional modification of musical structures. We also describe an approach, called Composition History, which provides a detailed history of the symmetric composition operations that have been applied to a structure and makes this information available within the asymmetric framework. In this way, details of the provenance of any given musical event may be used as part of the pointcut expression within asymmetric AOMR aspects. Additionally, we demonstrate a logic reification of AOMR events, including composition history, which permits declarative pointcut expressions.

In this paper I present evidence from Cherokee (Iroquoian, Southern Iroquoian) which refutes accounts of the distinction between process and result nominals based on the presence or absence of AspectP in the nominal’s functional structure. I argue that Cherokee has result nominals which contain aspect morphology, directly contradicting the proposal of Alexiadou (2001) that such nominals must lack an AspectP, and suggest that some other mechanism must be at play to account for the syntactic and semantic differences between result and process nominals.

In this paper, I offer one argument for the universality of the effect that a noun has on the aspectual properties of the verb phrase based on a perviously unnoticed aspectual asymmetry between count and mass nouns in their aspectual effect. Both Slavic and Germanic show this asymmetry. Using this aspectual asymmetry as a litmus test, I evaluate existing semantic and syntactic accounts of the aspectual effect of the noun to determine which of the two components, syntax or semantics, is most likely the locus of aspectual effect of the noun. I conclude that syntactic accounts can handle these aspectual facts in the most parsimonious manner.

Full textAbstract:
In this diploma thesis we have aimed to identify metrics that accommodate two chosen system quality factors and implementing the selected metrics in a metrics tool. The metrics chosen should measure change in the system quality factors reusability and maintainability for the middleware system COS at Telenor Mobile and similar systems. The metrics tool should support the aspect-oriented programming language AspectJ, and is planned to be a plugin to the open source code analysis framework XRadar. Changes due to introduction of aspects are of particular interest.
We have through a GQM process identified the following subcharacteristics for the chosen system quality factors: modularity, testability, analyzability, changeability and stability. Questions are formulated to analyze these sub factors, and metrics that can answer the questions are chosen.
We have implemented the tool AspectMetrics, which calculate metrics on Java and AspectJ code and generates an XML report containing the measurement results. A transformation from XML to HTML web pages is also provided. The metrics tool can measure size metrics, like the number of statements and the number of classes, coupling, fan-in/fan-out, cohesion and advice-in/advice-out. Advice-in and advice-out are two new metrics which respectively measures how many advice a class (or aspect) is affected by and how many joinpoints an advice hits on. These metrics are inspired by the concept for the fan-in and fan-out metrics.
The tool has been used to analyze two versions of the system DIAS v.2.0, which is a part of a diploma study in 2000. We have in our preparation project in 2003 added aspects to the DIAS system while keeping the system functionally equal to the original version. We have used our metrics tool to calculate the differences between the system with and the system without aspects. The introduction of aspects gave a positive change in coupling, fan-in/fan-out and size measures, while cohesion was negatively affected. The metrics thus, overall, indicated a positive change to the subcharacteristics testability, analyzability, changeability and stability and both the main quality factors. There was no indication of a positive change to modularity.
The analysis of the measurement results indicates that most of the metrics perform as intended. The size metrics, coupling, fan-in/fan-out, and advice-in/advice-out all gave results that corresponded to what we had expected. However, the cohesion measure did not behave in a way that could be correlated to the actual changes performed on the code. A closer analysis showed that moving and merging of functionality could result in either an increase or a decrease in cohesion. Thus we find that cohesion, at least in its current form, is not a suitable metric when using aspect-oriented programming. Further, this gave reason to reinvestigate the disappointing modularity results. With a reworked set of criteria we also found indication of improved modularity.

This study examines, on the one hand, the final value of the prepositions por and para and how lexical aspect influences their commutation in a final proposition. On the other hand, this thesis analyses the values of the Spanish past (cantaba) and the periphrastic spanish form estar + -ndo from an aspectual point of view. This study also develops the role taken by verbal and lexical aspect on the commutation of these verbal forms. Furthermore, some lexical incompatibilities due to interaction of verbal and lexical aspect are treated here

Some commercial websites provide additional information about the products along with the reviews. However, in the opinion mining research field, most existing methods have ignored this additional valuable information, thus influencing the accuracy of the mining results and the interpretation of various aspects related to the products. In this thesis, we consider the reviews obtained from Epinions.com related to cameras, and we propose ReviewMiner, an unsupervised method of automatically identifying useful aspects of a product and estimating the corresponding ratings for each aspect from the review texts. The method explores various linguistic patterns to extract potential aspects and context-dependent opinion phrases, and the technique employs a series of heuristic strategies and pruning techniques. Experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed techniques and shown their advantages over comparative baselines.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines if there is a difference to what degree the cognitive, affective and normative aspects of the country of origin effect influences the consumer in their evaluation of wine. Wine was the product chosen for this study because it is a product that often uses the country of origin effect as a tool in its marketing. The three aspects were divided into elements to be better suitable for measurement. A questionnaire was handed out to consumers outside liquor stores in Uppsala. The questions examined how much the elements influenced the consumer in their evaluation of wine. The results showed that there is a difference with the affective aspects having more influence than the normative aspects. When further tests were conducted, other results illustrate that cognitive aspects can have bigger influence than normative aspects as well. These results indicate that it is not the country of origin effect as a whole concept that is interesting when it comes to practical use.Denna studie undersöker om det finns en skillnad i hur mycket de kognitiva, affektiva och normativa aspekterna av ursprungslandets effekt påverkar konsumenterna i deras utvärderingsprocess av vin. Vin valdes då det är en produkt där ursprungslandet tydligt används i marknadsföringen. De tre aspekterna delades sedan in i beståndsdelar för att kunna mätas. En enkätundersökning genomfördes utanför systembolaget i Uppsala. Frågorna undersökte till vilken utsträckning beståndsdelarna påverkade konsumenterna i deras utvärdering. Resultaten påvisade att det finns en skillnad mellan aspekterna. Den affektiva aspekten påverkar konsumenterna mer än den normativa aspekten. Vidare tester visade även att den kognitiva aspekten kan ha en större påverkan än den normativa aspekten. Sålunda påvisade forskningsresultatet att hela ursprungslandet i sig självt inte är av primärt intresse vid praktisk användning.

Full textAbstract:
Rising complexity in the development of real-time systems has made it crucial to have reusable components and a more flexible way of configuring these components into a coherent system. Aspect-oriented system development (AOSD) is a technique that allows one to put a system’s crosscutting concerns into"modules"that are called aspects. Applying AOSD in real-time and embedded system development one can expect reductions in the complexity of the system design and development.
A problem with AOSD in its current form is that it does not support predictability in the time domain. Hence, in order to use AOSD in real-time system development, we need to provide ways of analyzing temporal behavior of aspects, components and resulting system (made from weaving aspects and components). Aspect analyzer is a tool that computes the worst-case execution time (WCET) for a set of components and aspects, thus, enabling support for predictability in the time domain of aspect-oriented real-time software.
A limitation of the aspect analyzer, until now, were that no verification had been made whether the aspect analyzer would produce WCET values that were close to the measured or computed (with another WCET analysis technique) WCET of an aspect-oriented real-time system. Therefore, in this thesis we perform a verification of the correctness of the aspect analyzer using a number of different methods for WCET analysis. These investigations of the correctness of the output from the aspect analyzer gave confidence to the automated WCET analysis. In addition, performing this verification led to the identification of the steps necessary to compute the WCETs of a piece of program, when using a third party tool, which gives the ability to write accurate input files for the aspect analyzer.

Aspect splits can affect agreement, Case, and even preposition insertion. This paper discusses the functional ‘why’ and the theoretical ‘how’ of aspect splits. Aspect splits are an economical way to mark aspect by preserving or suppressing some independent element in one aspect. In formal terms, they are produced in the same way as coda conditions in phonology, with positional/contextual faithfulness.This approach captures the additive effects of cross-cutting splits. Aspect splits are analyzed here from Hindi, Nepali, Yucatec Maya, Chontal, and Palauan.

Full textAbstract:
As reported in the pedagogical literature, second language (L2) acquisition of Russian aspect is often unsuccessful. The goal of this dissertation is to investigate what components of Russian aspect L2 learners with English as a first language (L1) are able or unable to acquire and to establish whether English speakers learning Russian can acquire native-like competence with respect to the morphosyntax of Russian aspect. These issues are examined in the framework of the Interface Hypothesis (Sorace & Filiaci 2006), which predicts that L2 learners of Russian should be able to successfully acquire morphosyntactic structure related to aspect.In the theoretical part of this dissertation, I develop a detailed syntactic analysis of English and Russian aspect. In line with previous research, I postulate two aspectual projections: the vP-internal inner aspect projection (AspQP), which encodes telicity, and the vP-external outer aspect projection (AspP), which encodes unboundedness. The main difference between English and Russian AspQP is that in English this projection is licensed indirectly (by the nominal predicate in the [Spec, AspQP]), while in Russian it is licensed directly (by a verbal morpheme that merges directly onto the AspQ°). The main difference concerning AspP is that in English this projection is licensed by the phonologically overt morpheme -ing, while in Russian it is licensed either by the phonologically overt morpheme -va (which attaches to telic stems) or by the zero-morpheme (which attaches to atelic stems). Another difference between English and Russian is that they shift the interpretation of the present tense forms of 'simple' non-stative verbs in two different ways. In English these verbs receive a habitual interpretation, and, in Russian, a future tense interpretation.
In order to reach full mastery of Russian aspect, English learners must acquire, among other things, the morphosyntactic properties, which are different from English. In the experimental part of this dissertation, I report on two studies that tested the acquisition of aspect. Experiment 1 tested the performance of 41 L2 learners, at different proficiency levels, and 10 Russian controls using a truth value judgment task. In Experiment 2, 40 L2 learners and 10 Russian controls were tested on a grammaticality judgment task. The results reveal that near-native speakers behave indistinguishably from Russian native speakers, as do advanced subjects in a number of respects, supporting the claim of the Interface Hypothesis that syntax is spared from persistent non-convergence in L2 acquisition. Additional results show that while purely morphosyntactic properties of Russian aspect are acquirable without any apparent difficulties, L2 learners experience difficulties with aspectual properties that involve the lexicon-syntax and syntax-pragmatics interfaces. These findings support the claim of the Interface Hypothesis that these two interfaces remain 'problematic' for L2 learners.
Selon la littérature pédagogique, l'acquisition de l'aspect en russe comme langue seconde (L2) reste souvent sans succès. Le but de cette dissertation est d'explorer quels sont les composantes de l'aspect en russe que les apprenants de langue maternelle anglaise (L1) sont ou non capables d'acquérir, et d'établir si les locuteurs de langue anglaise qui apprennent le russe peuvent acquérir les aspects morpho-syntaxiques de l'aspect en russe avec une compétence comparable à celle des locuteurs natifs. Ces questions sont examinées dans le cadre de l'Hypothèse d'Interface (Sorace & Filiaci 2006), qui prédit que les apprenants du russe comme langue seconde devraient pouvoir acquérir avec succès la structure morphosyntaxique de l'aspect.
Dans la partie théorique de la dissertation, je présente une analyse syntaxique détaillée de l'aspect en anglais et en russe. En accord avec des recherches antérieures, je postule deux projections aspectuelles : la projection de l'aspect interne du vP-intérieur (AspQP), qui encode la télicité, et la projection de l'aspect externe du vP-extérieur (AspP), qui encode la non-bornitude. La différence principale entre l'AspQP anglais et russe est que en anglais cette projection est licenciée indirectement (par le prédicat nominal dans le [Spec, AspQP]), tandis qu'en russe il est licencié directement (par un morphème verbal qui est fusionné avec l'AspQ°). La différence principale concernant AspP est qu'en anglais cette projection est licenciée par le morphème phonologiquement manifeste -ing, tandis qu'en russe elle est licenciée, soit par le morphème phonologiquement manifeste -va (qui s'attache aux racines téliques), soit par le morphème ∅ (qui s'attache aux racines atéliques). Une autre différence entre l'anglais et le russe est qu'ils transmettent l'interprétation des formes du présent des verbes non-statifs 'simples' de manières différentes. En anglais, ces verbes reçoivent une interprétation habituelle, et en russe, une interprétation de futur.
De manière à atteindre la maîtrise totale de l'aspect en russe, les apprenants anglais doivent acquérir, entre autres, les propriétés morphosyntaxiques, lesquelles diffèrent de l'anglais. Dans la partie expérimentale de la dissertation, je présente deux études qui ont testé l'acquisition de l'aspect. La première expérience teste, à l'aide d'une tâche de jugement de vérité, la performance de 41 apprenants de la L2 à des niveaux de maîtrise différents et 10 sujets témoins russes. Dans la seconde expérience, 40 apprenants de la L2 et 10 sujets témoins russes ont été testés à l'aide d'une tâche de jugement de grammaticalité. Les résultats révèlent que les locuteurs quasi-natifs se comportent indistinctement des locuteurs natifs du russe, de même que, sur un nombre d'éléments, les sujets avancés, en accord avec la prédiction de l'Hypothèse d'Interface selon laquelle la syntaxe est à l'abri d'une non-convergence persistante dans l'acquisition d'une L2. Des résultats supplémentaires montrent que, tandis que les propriétés purement morphosyntaxtiques de l'aspect en russe peuvent être acquises sans difficultés apparentes, les apprenants de L2 ont de la difficulté avec les propriétés aspectuelles qui impliquent les interfaces lexique-syntaxe et syntaxe-pragmatique. Ces résultats sont conformes à la prédiction de l'Hypothèse d'Interface selon laquelle ces deux interfaces demeurent 'problématiques' pour les apprenants d'une L2.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the development of an advanced history-based aspect language and approaches to certain related issues ranging from applications to analysis methods. The aspect language, namely VPA-based Aspect Language, is defined upon visibly pushdown au- tomata (VPAs) [21]. This language is essentially an extension from an existing framework [47] of regular aspect languages. It features VPA-based pointcuts and provides, in particu- lar, constructors for the declarative definition of pointcuts based on regular and non-regular structures. We have also extended and developed the technique for detecting automatically potential interactions among VPA-based aspects. Despite several advantages of the class of visibly pushdown automata, there has been no practical support for them available. Therefore, we have realized a library called VPAlib that provides the implementation of essential data structures and operations for the VPA. This library is essential to enable the construction and analysis of VPA-based aspects. For instance, we have successfully performed certain analysis for detecting interactions among aspects using this library. In order to motivate the use of VPA-based aspects, we have studied two basic kinds of distributed applications, one representing typical systems with nested login sessions, and the other representing a grid computing system over peer-to-peer network. We have shown how VPA-based aspects can be useful for the realization of certain functionalities of these typical distributed applications. Thanks to their highly expressive pointcuts, another important application of VPA-based aspects is to define evolution on component-based systems, especially those with explicit component protocols. The use of aspects over component protocols, however, may break the coherence between the components of the system. We have further developed proof methods to establish the preservation of fundamental correctness properties, such as compatibility and substitutability relations between software components after the application of VPA-based aspects. Finally, we have considered the use of model checking techniques to verify systems that are modified by aspects. The goal of the verification is to check whether an aspect violates the global properties of a base system or the properties of other aspects. We have chosen the approach in which we create an abstract model from the VPA model and then run a model checker that is capable of checking the abstract model against the properties. We formally define the abstraction process and demonstrate our model checking approach via examples.

Full textAbstract:
English exhibits a rich apparatus of tense, aspect, time adverbials and other expressions that can be used to order states of affairs with respect to each other, or to locate them at a point in time with respect to the moment of speech. Ideally one would want a semantics for these expressions to demonstrate that an orderly relationship exists between any one expression and the meanings it conveys. Yet most existing linguistic and formal semantic accounts leave something to be desired in this respect, describing natural language temporal categories as being full of ambiguities and indetenninacies, apparently escaping a uniform semantic description. It will be argued that this anomaly stems from the assumption that the semantics of these expressions is directly related to the linear conception of time familiar from temporal logic or physics - an assumption which can be seen to underly most of the current work on tense and aspect. According to these theories, the cognitive work involved in the processing of temporal discourse consists of the ordering of events as points or intervals on a time line or a set of time lines. There are, however, good reasons for wondering whether this time concept really is the one that our linguistic categories are most directly related to; it will be argued that a semantics of temporally referring expressions and a theory of their use in defining the temporal relations of events require a different and more complex structure underlying the meaning representations than is commonly assumed. A semantics will be developed, based on the assumption that categories like tense, aspect, aspectual adverbials and propositions refer to a mental representation of events that is structured on other than purely temporal principles, and to which the notion of a nucleus or consequentially related sequence of preparatory process, goal event and consequent state is central. It will be argued that the identification of the correct ontology is a logical preliminary to the choice of any particular formal representation scheme, as well as being essential in the design of natural language front-ends for temporal databases. It will be shown how the ontology developed here can be implemented in a database that contains time-related information about events and that is to be queried by means of natural language utterances.

Full textAbstract:
Separation of concerns has long been considered an effective and efficient strategy to deal with complexity in information systems.One sort of concern, like security and privacy, crosses over other concerns in a system. Such concerns are called cross-cutting concerns.As a result, the realization of these concerns is scattered through the whole system, which makes their management difficult. Aspect Orientation is a paradigm in information systems which aims to modularize cross-cutting concerns.This paradigm is well researched in the programming area, where many aspect-oriented programming languages have been developed, e.g., AspectJ.It has also been investigated in other areas, such as requirement engineering and service composition.In the Business Process Management (BPM) area, Aspect Oriented Business Process Modeling aims to specify how this modularization technique can support encapsulating cross-cutting concerns in process models.However, it is not clear how these models should be supported in the whole BPM lifecycle.In addition, the support for designing these models has only been limited to imperative process models that support rigid business processes.Neither has it been investigated how this modularization technique can be supported through declarative or hybrid models to support the separation of cross-cutting concerns for flexible business processes. Therefore, this thesis investigates how aspect orientation can be supported over the whole BPM lifecycle using imperative aspect-oriented business process models. It also investigates how declarative and hybrid aspect-oriented business process models can support the separation of cross-cutting concerns in the BPM area.This thesis has been carried out following the design science framework, and the result is presented as a set of artifacts (in the form of constructs, models, methods, and instantiations) and empirical findings. The artifacts support modeling, analysis, implementation/configuration, enactment, monitoring, adjustment, and mining cross-cutting concerns while supporting business processes using Business Process Management Systems. Thus, it covers the support for the management of these concerns over the whole BPM lifecycle. The use of these artifacts and their application shows that they can reduce the complexity of process models by separating different concerns.Att separera angelägenheter har länge ansetts som en effektiv och ändamålsenlig strategi för att hantera komplexitet i informationssystem. Sådana angelägenheter, till exempel säkerhet och enskildhet, kan skära tvärs över andra angelägenheter i ett system, och de kallas därför övergripande angelägenheter. Hanteringen av dessa kan vara utspridda genom hela systemet, vilket ökar komplexiteten. Aspektorientering är ett paradigm som syftar till att modularisera övergripande angelägenheter. Detta paradigm är väl utforskat i programvaruområdet, där många aspektorienterade programmeringsspråk utvecklats. Paradigmet har också undersökts i andra områden som kravhantering och tjänstesammansättning. I ärendehanteringsområdet (BPM) syftar aspektorienterad processmodellering till att inkapsla övergripande angelägenheter i processmodeller. Det är dock inte klart hur dessa modeller bör stödjas i hela ärendehanteringslivscykeln. Dessutom är existerande stöd för att utforma dessa modeller begränsat till tvingande processmodeller som enbart stödjer rigida affärsprocesser. Det har inte heller undersökts hur denna modulariseringsteknik kan stödjas genom deklarativa eller hybridmodeller för att hantera separation av övergripande angelägenheter för flexibla affärsprocesser. Därför undersöker denna avhandling hur aspektorientering kan stödjas i hela ärendehanteringslivscykeln med hjälp av tvingande aspektorienterade affärsprocessmodeller. Den undersöker också hur deklarativa och hybridaspektorienterade affärsprocessmodeller kan stödja separation av övergripande angelägenheter i BPM-området. Avhandlingens resultat bygger på designvetenskaplig forskning, och de presenteras som en uppsättning av artefakter (i form av konstruktioner, modeller, metoder och instansieringar) och som empiriska iakttagelser. De framtagna artefakterna stödjer modellering, analys, genomförande, konfiguration, övervakning och modifiering av övergripande angelägenheter i affärsprocesser. Artefakterna erbjuder stöd för hantering av dessa angelägeheter för hela ärendehanteringslivscykeln. Användningen av dessa artefakter och deras tillämpningar visar att de kan minska komplexiteten i processmodeller genom att separera övergripande angelägenheter.

La réalisation de cette recherche inclut des variables qui sont susceptibles d’avoir évolué en des proportions notoires, au point de changer certains résultats d'analyse. Nous nous sommes efforcés autant que, faire ce peut de ne considérer que les tendances lourdes de « la criminalité internationale » qui soient susceptibles de comporter un sens du point de vue de l'appréhension juridique de phénomènes socio-économiques, et des capacités de répression effective à un niveau global via le Droit International. L'approche générale du sujet de cette thèse, vise également à restituer les dimensions d'une criminalité actuelle et non purement anecdotique, dont le cadre conceptuel puisse laisser libre-cours à une théorisation sur les possibilités de mettre en œuvre une politique criminelle de répression à une 'échelle planétaire' la plus plausible. Dès lors, il est évident que cet angle d'approche reste subjectif tant le phénomène de la criminalité internationale demeure un ensemble de faits dont le découpage ne peut rendre compte d'une réalité totaleThe development of international criminality is a new phenomenon in that it encompasses new aspects of criminality unknown until recently, and which requires the elaboration of new policies of repression on a global stage. Besides the issues concerning the definition of such criminal acts, which differentiates them from traditional criminality and whose international character submit them to private international law, it is possible to argue for a criminality of superposition underpinned by interstate regulation, and nourishing itself from the advantages and opportunities provided by globalization. In deed, international criminality has acquired new capacities of nuisance which allow criminal groups to perform illegal actions largely equivalent to what any regular state would do if it decided to break international laws. The object of this research is concerned with the design of such criminal policies which would be global-efficient, and aimed at substantially reducing criminal acts, while giving precedence to human rights as observed in the great western democracies. Hence, it is most crucial to determine the objective conditions inferred from a thorough analysis of global economical crime, and especially money-laundering, which would render any penal sanction plainly efficient in the scope of policies set to lower the levels of criminality. This would consequently discard all the errors and failures due to mere internal approaches to global crime, and therefore cast light on the genuine Criminal chain across the nations, whose individual responsability must be rated differently
