La suerte y la sintaxis : sobre las construcciones de τυγχάνω

En este trabajo se estudian las estructuras de complementación del verbo τυγχάνω ('obtener por suerte', 'encontrarse por casualidad', 'suceder (algo a alguien)'). Frente a la larga lista de usos y subusos que suelen ofrecerse en los diccionarios, se muestra cómo todas las construcciones pueden reducirse a tres, una transitiva y dos intransitivas, entre las cuales se establecen relaciones regulares de alternancia sintáctica. Se muestra también, sobre una base estadística, que los tres usos no son igualmente frecuentes en los textos griegos y que su distribución está ligada en parte al tema verbal en que aparezca el verbo.In this paper, the syntactic structures associated to the Greek verb τυγχάνω are studied. In contrast with the long lists of different uses and distributions for this verb that are offered in common dictionaries and lexica, first, we try to prove that all its uses can be reduced to only three, one of transitive and two of intransitive character. These constructions establish among them regular relationships of alternation. Second, we offer statistical data which show that the frequency of the three constructions is very different in Greek texts and, moreover, that their respective distribution is somehow linked to grammatical aspect

The “Oviedo Model": urbanism as marketing strategy and disappearance of the historic centers.

During the past few years, the historic centers have been experiencing a similar problem in all the capitalist cities, which is threatening their definition of centres for cultural richness and vitality multifunctional. This article discusses the situation in Oviedo. The recent operations for the recovery of the Old Town have developed a marketing strategy: the "Oviedo model" of intervention in cities. An urban solution which focuses on the image does not solve the problems that threaten the disappearance of the historic center

Robust profilometer for the measurement of 3-D object shapes based on a regularized phase tracker

A robust pro"lometer is proposed to measure 3-D object shapes based on a regularized phase tracker that is capable of demodulating fringe patterns with a high noise presence and broad bandwidth due to the object shape. As shown herein, the technique acts as an adaptive "lter and is capable of giving the detected phase continuously so that no further unwrapping process is required. Experimental results of real surface pro"les are presented. ( 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved
