The aim of the paper is to investigate aspectual value of secondary aspectual verb phrase in Serbian in terms of both grammatical and lexical aspect (Aktionsart). The present analysis focuses on two secondary aspectualizers krenuti and stati, which when used as lexical verbs have the opposite meanings related to motion in space, but when they appear as phase construction heads both verbs modify the opening segment of the aspectual event. The central idea of the proposal is that event types in general largely depend on temporal structures which need to be contextualized before they are formally identifiable. In other words, contrary to traditional approaches which define lexical aspect as inherent to verb meaning, we claim that each verb form (or any lexical and/or grammatical form for that matter) has an underlying meaning through which it entertains systematic relations with other forms in a language (Hirtle 1982:40). We start form aspectual and Aktionsart features of krenuti and stati as verb lexemes, then move onto the level of syntax to identify the co-compositional aspect of the overall phase construction via event structure and event segmentation mechanisms. Finally, the present paper aims to examine different uses of the two secondary aspectual verbs, along with the different types of events they can denote in order to bring to light the potential meanings which give rise to the various contextual senses of the aspectual construction. The reported results of the analysis were checked on the Corpus of Contemporary Serbian Language (SrpKor 2013). Key words: aspectual constructions, Aktionsart, aspectual event, temporal structure, secondary aspectualizer, event segmentation, event co-composition

The Subject

AbstractThe special properties that psych(ological) verbs manifest cross-linguistically have given rise to on-going debates in syntactic and semantic theorizing. Regarding their lexical aspect classification, while verbal psych predicates with the Experiencer argument mapped onto the subject (SE psych predicates) have generally been analyzed as stative, there is little agreement on what kinds of eventualities object Experiencer (OE) psych predicates describe. On the stative reading, OE psych predicates have been classified as atelic causative states. On the (non-agentive) eventive reading, they have been widely analyzed as telic change of state predicates and classified as achievements or as accomplishments. Based on Polish, Rozwadowska (2003, 2012) argues that nonagentive eventive OE psych predicates in the perfective aspect denote an onset of a state and that they are atelic rather than telic. This paper offers further support for the view that Polish perfective psych verbs do not denote a change of state, i.e., a transition from α to ¬α. The evidence is drawn from verbal comparison and the distribution of the comparative degree quantifier jeszcze bardziej ‘even more’ in perfective psych predicates. It is argued here that in contexts including jeszcze bardziej ‘even more’, the perfective predication denotes an onset of a state whose degree of intensity exceeds the comparative standard. While a degree quantifier attached to the VP in the syntax contributes a differential measure function that returns a (vague) value representing the degree to which the intensity of the Experiencer’s state exceeds the comparative standard in the event, it does not affect the event structure of the perfective verb and it does not provide the VP denotation it modifies with a final endpoint. As the perfective picks the onset of an upper open state, perfective psych predicates typically give rise to an atelic interpretation.

Temporal Ordering

Purpose Project studies analyse either managing practices or the temporal nature of project management, which leaves open a research gap: the temporality of managing practice. The paper demonstrates that performativity theory with a temporal perspective helps us to understand how managing a project organises limited temporal resources by aligning activities, deadlines or milestones to reach a goal in a given time.Design/methodology/approach The article utilises empirical data and grounded theory methodology. Ten interviews with project managers from two companies support empirically guided theory building and conceptual reasoning.Findings The article extends John Law's “modes of ordering” to a project-specific mode of temporal ordering. This mode of temporal ordering describes the underlying rationale of project managers who assign, order and materialise time to generate the temporal structure of the project.Research limitations/implications The conceptual nature of the paper and its limited empirical data restrict the generalisation of the findings. The article's goal is to initiate further research and to offer a set of tools for such research.Originality/value The contribution links managing practice and temporality in a performativity approach. This link focusses the actual actions of the managers and contextualises them in the temporal flow of the project. Managing projects as a mode of temporal ordering describes how project managers enact temporal structures and how they themselves and their activities are temporally embedded.

Short Presentation

This paper relates to temporal adjectives mainly in French and Hungarian. After a short presentation of the difference between adjectives and nouns, we show that adjectives can express two different types of manifestations of linguistic time : one defines the notion of outside time vs. inside time and interior temporal structure (or aspect which refers to the course of the action) vs. external temporal structure (as defined by the circumstantial complements and verbal tenses). We define then the concept of the temporal adjective and we present a semantic description : these adjectives can refer to a temporal field (past, present, future), to indicate a duration (1) which we can delimit in time or (2) which we cannot delimit in time (cf. french millénaire vs. long). Others refer to a point in time (french pascal). The temporal value of the last two groups is already used in extreme cases of primary temporality : french neuf and valide. The conclusion of a theoretical nature with a few examples is followed by a table which shows the main groups of temporal adjectives.

In this paper, an approach with both the hierarchical tree and the clips temporal structure is proposed for exciting events (such as free kicks near the goal box, corner kicks, etc.) detection in broadcast soccer videos. In this approach, video frames are firstly divided into sections. Then these sections are divided further into clips which have specifically semantic information so that we can use the low-level descriptors to classify the clips and analyze the relationship between them. Low-level descriptors include color, motion descriptors and edge descriptors. To detect the exciting events, the simple classification models are constructed by combining the fixed temporal structures of clips with motion vectors and other low-level descriptors. Experiments on real soccer video programs show the encouraging results.

This article aims to systematically explain linguistic facts concerning thewill+be -ingconstruction (WBI construction) in terms of a general theory of tense. For this purpose, temporal structures of the WBI construction are constructed based on the tense theory of Wada (2001, 2009, 2011) by combining temporal structures of sentences containingwillwith temporal structures of sentences containing present-progressive forms. It is shown that the temporal structure-based analysis not only addresses problems with previous studies, but also illuminates the characteristics of the WBI construction in a unified way.

AbstractWe describe the spatio-temporal evolution of one-dimensional Alfven resonance disturbance in the presence of various factors of resonance detuning: dispersion and absorption of Alfven disturbance, nonstationarity of large-scale wave generating resonant disturbance. Using analytical solutions to the resonance equation, we determine conditions for forming qualitatively different spatial and temporal structures of resonant Alfven disturbances. We also present analytical descriptions of quasi-stationary and non-stationary spatial structures formed in the resonant layer, and their evolution over time for cases of drivers of different types corresponding to large-scale waves localized in the direction of inhomogeneity and to nonlocalized large-scale waves.

Structure Domain

In this paper, I draw on data from prefixation in Russian to argue for a basic distinction between event structure and temporal struc- ture. I present a linguistic semantics of verb and argument structure interpretation on the one hand, and a formal semantic implementa- tion of 'telicity' on the other, which makes sense of the generalisations apparently common to both domains. I will claim that the temporal domain embeds the event structure domain, and that the latter con- strains the former. At the same time, the different formal primitives that operate at the levels proposed form the basis for a principled linguistic distinction between the two tiers of composition: the event structure level encodes subevental relations and predicational rela- tions within those subevents; the temporal structure level introduces a t variable explicitly and relates it to the structure built up by the event level. Whether the event structure is homogenous or not will have an impact on whether the temporal variable chosen will be 'def- inite' or 'indefinite.' This latter claim then forms the basis for a new conception of the difference between perfective and imperfective verb forms in Russian.

<p>This study aimed to create a constructivist learning environment wherein third grade students talk to problem solve, which is different from traditional approaches to math learning. The study focused on the group talk and discussions to understand the students’ actions and interactions during the process of problem solving. Fifteen students and their teacher participated in the study, which was conducted within a collaborative action study design. Different types of problems were constructed including addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Students were divided into four groups and observed for four weeks as they solved the different types of problems through group discussion. In the study, it was observed that the students who took leadership roles in the groups during the problem solving activities lead discussions. Additionally, the study found that the students, who could not solve the problems individually, were able to contribute more to the problem solving activity in the group works.</p>

Some true applications, for example, content arrangement and sub-cell confinement of protein successions, include multi-mark grouping with imbalanced information. Different types of traditional approaches are introduced to describe the relation of hubristic and undertaking formations, classification of different attributes with imbalanced for different uncertain data sets. Here this addresses the issues by utilizing the min-max particular system. The min-max measured system can break down a multi-mark issue into a progression of little two-class sub-issues, which would then be able to be consolidated by two straightforward standards. Additionally present a few decay procedures to improve the presentation of min-max particular systems. Trial results on sub-cellular restriction demonstrate that our strategy has preferable speculation execution over customary SVMs in settling the multi-name and imbalanced information issues. In addition, it is additionally a lot quicker than customary SVMs
