Eisenberg (2002) presents data from an experiment investigating three- and four-year-old children's comprehension of restrictive relative clauses (RC). From the results she argues, contrary to Hamburger & Crain (1982), that children do not have discourse knowledge of the felicity conditions of RCs before acquiring the syntax of relativization. This note evaluates this conclusion on the basis of the methodology used, and proposes that an account of syntactic development needs to be sensitive to the real-time processing requirements acquisition places on the learner.

This paper explores the issue of what is going on in a listener's mind during the real-time processing of music, such that it is possible to account for the listener's understanding of the music. The issue will be approached through evidence internal to music itself, and also by analogy with evidence from the processing of language. I will then examine how processing of the sort I propose provides a basis for considering a particular issue in the theory of musical affect.

In this paper, multifunction residue number system (RNS) modulo (2n ± 1) multipliers are proposed. By adopting common circuits for summing up the partial products with extra controls, our proposed multipliers could perform both modulo (2n + 1) and (2n - 1) multiplications. The levels for summation of partial products are n + 1, which are same as the conventional modulo multipliers which with only one kind of modulo multiplications. The proposed multifunction modulo (2n ± 1) multipliers can save at least about 42.5% area under the same delay constraints and above 65.8% Area × Delay Product (ADP) compared with the one composed of modulo (2n + 1) and modulo (2n - 1) multiplication operations. Our proposed multipliers could be applied to ease the tremendous computation overload in the real-time processing applications.

This thesis addresses the lexical and psycholinguistic properties of copredication. In particular, it explores its acceptability, frequency, cross-linguistic and electrophysiological features. It proposes a general parsing bias to account for novel acceptability data, through which Complex-Simple predicate orderings are degraded across distinct nominal types relative to the reverse order. This bias, Incremental Semantic Complexity, states that the parser seeks to process linguistic representations in incremental stages of semantic complexity. English and Italian acceptability data are presented which demonstrate that predicate order preferences are based not on sense dominance but rather sense complexity. Initial evidence is presented indicating that pragmatic factors centred on coherence relations can impact copredication acceptability when such copredications host complex (but not simple) predicates. The real-time processing and electrophysiological properties of copredication are also presented, which serve to replicate and ground the acceptability dynamics presented in the thesis.
