Real parallelisms
A garden of parallelisms in are constructed,where is the field of real numbers
Thenon-solvable triangle transitive planes
The class of finite translation planes admitting non-solvable triangle transitive groups is completely determined as the class of irregular nearfield planes admitting non-solvable groups
m
Generalizations of the Johnson parallelisms are given using an
index m subgroup of a Pappian central collineation group. The
parallelisms, called m-parallelisms, are constructed
and the isomorphisms classes are discussed
Q(sqrt(-3))-Integral Points on a Mordell Curve
We use an extension of quadratic Chabauty to number fields,recently developed by the author with Balakrishnan, Besser and M ̈uller,combined with a sieving technique, to determine the integral points overQ(√−3) on the Mordell curve y2 = x3 − 4
Dependency, licensing, and the nature of grammatical relations
Dependency is a general term that refers to different structural relations. We highlight three very general classes of phenomena that are often captured by this term: (i) the structural relation between a lexical head (e.g., V, N, A) and the functional structure projected by it such as the relation between a verb and an auxiliary or between a noun and a determiner; (ii) the local selectional relation between a lexical head and the constituents that are combined merged with it to satisfy its argument structure, as in the case of the verb and the direct and indirect objects; (iii) the structural relation created by two different constituents that share the same referential index. In the latter case, we observe two major types: a constituent is displaced, as in the case of the subject of a passive clause or a wh-constituent; or two constituents share the same referent but have different functions in the clause (or in different clauses), as is the case of pronouns and their antecedents
New information subjects in L2 acquisition: evidence from Italian and Finnish
Recent work on second language acquisition within the generative framework has pointed out interfaces (syntax-discourse, syntax-semantics, etc.) as a residual domain of vulnerability in L2. Rather than in core syntax, it is at the interface level that the divergence between native and non-native grammars has been shown to be more prominent. In this book the investigation of answering strategies and the focalization of new information subjects, which require access to the syntax-discourse interface, will be pursued. Data is collected through an oral elicitation task on Finnish and Italian, a rather unexplored language pair, in various stages of language development: advanced and intermediate L2 acquisition, L1 under L2 attrition, early bilingualism, child monolingual L1 development
