Abstract:

This thesis sets out to test the Full Transfer Full Access hypothesis (FTFA), which claims (i) that second language (L2) learners start out with the parameter settings instantiated in their first language (L1) grammars ('full transfer') and (ii) that they can subsequently reset parameters to the target L2 settings where these differ from the L1 settings, provided the required (triggering) positive evidence is available in the L2 input ('full access').<br>Three studies on the L2 acquisition of two verb movement parameters, the V2 parameter and the Split-IP parameter (SIP), are reported.

Abstract:

The present thesis investigated two questions: (1) is there a correspondence between lexico-semantic categories like object and syntactic categories like noun in acquisition, and (2) can the late emergence of action nouns be explained by their use in longer, "complex predicate" constructions (CP), such as Have a hug?<br>Paper 1 examined the use of words that can appear as noun or verb, in the speech of nine English-speaking children (aged 1;3--2;6) and their caregivers.

Abstract:

Within the framework of Government-Binding Theory, this thesis argues that the Germanic languages, including German and related languages, should be analyzed as having INFL-second underlying work order. Contrary to traditional generative treatments of the so-called "verb-second" (V2) phenomenon, it is claimed here, in light of certain subtle asymmetries, that the final target site of the moved verb is INFL (I$ sp0)$ in sentences with pre-verbal subjects and COMP (C$ sp0)$ in those with pre-verbal non-subjects.<br>It is further maintained that an analysis, as modified and extended in the thesis

Abstract:

This thesis presents a study of a construction which I refer to as Verb-Stranding VP Ellipsis. The construction is studied here, specifically, in two distinct senses. First, in chapter two, diagnostics are proposed by which the VP Ellipsis ("VPE") construction can be identified—irrespective of whether the main verb involved is null or overt. It is proposed that these diagnostics can be used to rule out the possibility that the data at issue are cases of other types of null anaphora, such as null arguments, Stripping, Gapping, and Null Complement Anaphora. It emerges from this section of the th

Abstract:

The present study is an investigation of on-line and off-line processing of verb tense in individuals with developmental language impairment. Three groups of subjects performed two experiments, (1) a lexical decision task (on-line) and, (2) a grammaticality judgement task (off-line). Grammaticality was controlled by the manipulation of tense for regular and irregular verbs. Participants were six members of a large British familial aggregation diagnosed with developmental language impairment, six of their unaffected relatives, and seven unaffected Canadian individuals.

Abstract:

Verb-particle constructions (phrasal verbs) are a notoriously difficult aspect of English to acquire for second-language (L2) learners, especially for those whose L1 lacks verb-particles. The present study was conducted to assess whether L2 English speakers would show sensitivity to the subtle semantic properties of these constructions, namely the gradations in semantic transparency of different verb-particle constructions (e.g., finish up vs. chew out). L1 French, L2 English bilingual participants completed an off-line (explicit) survey of similarity ratings, as well as an on-line (implicit)

Abstract:

The present dissertation investigated children's ability to understand denominal verbs and deverbal nouns that share the same forms as their parent words (e.g. brushv/brushn). Specifically, we sought to answer two general questions: 1) When do young children acquire class extension rules for denominal verbs and deverbal nouns? 2) How do children acquire these rules? We addressed these questions using a series of studies in which we tested children's ability to understand and produce flexible noun-verb pairs.

Abstract:

This dissertation describes and evaluates a thesis about the means of identifying verbs early in learning a language, and a first language in particular. The thesis is presented briefly in the first section. The second section provides a critical review of theories about children's early part-of-speech identifications. Section 3 presents a new theory of verb identification. I argue that learners initially identify members of a category, predicator, that subsumes verbs and adjectives. Predicators have argument structures. Learners identify a predicator through an inference that the word must ta

Abstract:

This thesis investigates L2 acquisition of intransitive verb constructions in Japanese and English. Within the Generative framework, the Unaccusative Hypothesis has been proposed, which divides intransitive verbs into two syntactically distinct classes: unergatives and unaccusatives (Burzio 1986). The sole argument of unergative verbs is an Agent generated in subject position, whereas that of unaccusative verbs is a Theme or Patient base-generated in object position. While the unaccusative/unergative distinction at the level of Deep (D)-Structure holds universally, as derived by a universal pr

This thesis investigates the question of how the arguments of a given verb are linked to positions in a phrase structure.

These light verb constructions showed a higher representation in the material and were hence selected for a further in-depth study. As for the translations into Swedish, three main translation strategies were identified: word-for-word translation

Abstract:

This thesis studies word order variations in Swiss-German sentences that contain infinitival complements. Such sentences exhibit interesting word order. Verbs can be in different orders and the objects selected by these verbs can be in different positions relative to them. The aim of this thesis is to give a general account of these word order facts based solely on structural properties of the complements in the underlying structure. In particular, it is claimed that Swiss-German verbs that take infinitival complements do not all select the same type of complements. Some verbs (like modals, pe

This thesis investigates how the outcomes of the acquisition of second language (L2) argument structure will vary depending on the nature of the learner's first language (L1). The focus is on motion verbs appearing with a prepositional/postpositional phrase that expresses the final endpoint of the motion (goal PP). In English, manner-of-motion verbs (e.g., walk ) and directed motion verbs (e.g., go) can appear with a goal PP as in John walked (went ) to school. In contrast, Japanese allows only directed motion verbs to occur with a goal PP. Thus, Japanese motion verbs with goal PPs form a subs

Especially, we are interested in the existence of the smallest nontrivial full trios and full AFLs. This is an old research subject, and it has not been studied much since the 1970s. A conjecture by Autebert et al. states that there does not exist a nontrivial minimal full trio inside the family of context-free languages (2) (see also (1)). First, we will show that there does not exist a nontrivial minimal full trio or a nontrivial minimal full AFL with respect to the bounded

The requirement to simulate larger and more complex interconnect circuits is being driven by the rapid developments that are taking place in the integrated circuit industry, where more complex circuits are continually being designed. Since full-wave analyses rigorously account for all the higher-order modes, in addition to the transmission line mode (i.e., the Transverse ElectroMagnetic (TEM) mode), they provide more accurate results than conventional 2-D analysis tools, which are based on the assumption that only a TEM mode exists.

It was recently proposed that modifications to physics at trans-Planckian energies could lead to a non-adiabatic evolution of the scalar fluctuations responsible for the temperature anisotropy of the cosmological microwave background. If such a possibility was to be confirmed, it would provide us the first possibility to ever get experimental measurements of the physics near the Planck scale. This work investigates the physicality of such non-adiabatic evolutions, by avoiding the introduction of any exotic physics, by working well below the Planck scale. Simple 'hybrid-like' models of i

Abstract:

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico<br>Most of the people around the globe believe that water is a free good. However, increasing difficulties of access, both in quantity and quality around the world, particularly in developing countries and for the lower income people is changing this view. The Agenda 21 and the Dublin Declaration (UN, 1992) had the merit of putting the water as an "economic good" in the center of the debate at the global level. In this context, the present study aims to evaluate the full costs of water in the Archipelago of Cape Verde, a country whe

Abstract:

The thesis offers an examination of the use of the Bible in Viens vers le Pere, a Catholic catechetical series published between 1964 and 1969 for use in the primary schools of Quebec. It enjoyed great popularity from the 1960s to the 1980s and was translated into several languages and used in some fourteen countries. The series places particular emphasis on the use of the Bible in catechesis. The thesis investigates the method of biblical interpretation underpinning these catechetical resources and constitutes the first indepth study of the series.

Abstract:

Architectural representation is much more than a process of transcription between a concept and the building; it is a tool that determines the very mentality and praxis of the architect. This thesis studies the technique of film montage through the work of Andrei Tarkovsky and the possibilities it offers to the process of architectural conception. A general outline of the development of the perspective tools of representation in architecture lead to an understanding of the significance of the cinematographic image in the context of the history of projection.

Abstract:

The Feelings Toolkit is a new evaluation tool developed for very young children aged 3 to 5 years old. The tool can be used to evaluate feelings after very young children interact with computer products. It has two versions: the Wafiy Feelings Toolkit and Alisya Feelings Toolkit. It uses photographic representation and bipolar adjectives, good versus bad. The photographs were modelled by two nursery-aged children, one boy and one girl, representing one positive feeling (good), one neutral feeling, and one negative feeling (bad). It is difficult to find a suitable tool or method to evaluate fee

Abstract:

Les troubles musculo-squelettiques (TMS) sont un problème majeur dans la société moderne, avec près de la moitié des travailleurs en industrie touchés. Ces troubles sont dus à des postures jugées à risques, tel que le travail avec les bras en hauteur ou le torse penché, aux poids de charges transportées, ou encore la répétitivité des tâches. Il est donc nécessaire de trouver des solutions permettant de diminuer le risque de TMS en limitant les mouvements et les postures à risques, et en améliorant ainsi l’ergonomie des postes de travail.

Abstract:

The dramatic improvement of neonatal intensive care has produced vexing ethical and legal questions. One of the most striking issues is to determine whether the most defective neonates should be provided with intensive care and to what extent they should be treated. This thesis demonstrates that an attempt to answer this question and an analysis of the demands and limitations of a duty to treat defective neonates cannot properly occur without first considering the legal concerns and ethical issues surrounding the notion of "person". The author examines germane ethical theories and North

Abstract:

This thesis deals primarily with the problem of soft-error tolerance in digital machines. The possible sources of soft errors are reviewed. It is shown that the significance of ionizing radiation increases with the scaling down of MOS technologies. The characteristics of electromagnetic interference sources are also discussed. After presenting the conventional methods of dealing with soft errors, a new approach to this problem is suggested. The new approach, called Soft-Error Filtering (SEF), consists of filtering every output of the logic before latching it, in such a way that a transient inj
