Asymmetry in Grammar
Asymmetry in Grammar: Syntax and Semantics brings to fore the centrality of asymmetry in DP, VP and CP. A finer grained articulation of the DP is proposed, and further functional projections for restrictive relatives, as well as a refined analyses of case identification and presumptive pronouns. The papers on VP discuss further asymmetries among arguments, and between arguments and adjuncts. Double-object constructions, specificational copula sentences, secondary predicates, and the scope properties of adjuncts are discussed in this perspective. The papers on CP propose a further articulation of the phrasal projection, justifications for Remnant IP movement, and an analysis of variation in c...
Mathematics and Art
Recent progress in research, teaching and communication has arisen from the use of new tools in visualization. To be fruitful, visualization needs precision and beauty. This book is a source of mathematical illustrations by mathematicians as well as artists. It offers examples in many basic mathematical fields including polyhedra theory, group theory, solving polynomial equations, dynamical systems and differential topology. For a long time, arts, architecture, music and painting have been the source of new developments in mathematics. And vice versa, artists have often found new techniques, themes and inspiration within mathematics. Here, while mathematicians provide mathematical tools for the analysis of musical creations, the contributions from sculptors emphasize the role of mathematics in their work.
Raising Public Awareness of Mathematics
This collective book aims to encourage and inspire actions directed towards raising public awareness of the importance of mathematical sciences for our contemporary society in a cultural and historical perspective. Mathematical societies, in Europe and around the world, can find ideas, blueprints and suggestions for activities – including concerted actions with other international organizations – directed towards raising public awareness of science, technology and other fields where mathematics plays a strong role. The material is divided into four parts: • National experiences • Exhibitions / mathematical museums • Popularization activities • Popularization: why and how?
Dedo Mindinho
A avó de Vitor adora fazer doces. De fato, ela é uma especialista no assunto, e o menino adora comer tudo que ela faz na cozinha, especialmente o seu doce cristalizado de abacaxi. Certo dia, Vitor estava com tanta vontade de comer o doce que acabou pegando escondido da avó – mesmo que ainda não estivesse completamente pronto. O desenrolar desta história é o tema de Dedo Mindinho, livro de Ana Maria Machado com ilustrações de Elisabeth Teixeira. Se sentindo um pouco culpado, o menino inventa uma história fantástica sobre o que aconteceu com o doce, afinal. Quando sua avó entende o que ele está fazendo, ao invés de dar uma bronca, entra na brincadeira e cria um jogo divertido, que incentiva não apenas a criatividade do menino, como também fortalece o laço que já existe entre eles. Com a história de Dedo Mindinho, Ana Maria Machado pega sua escrita divertida e dinâmica para lembrar o leitor de tempos mais simples. Falando da memória afetiva que as pessoas tem com doces e comida no geral, sobre relações familiares e exercitando a criatividade e a imaginação do pequeno leitor, a narrativa do livro oferece conforto e familiaridade.
Control as Movement
The Movement Theory of Control (MTC) makes one major claim: that control relations in sentences like 'John wants to leave' are grammatically mediated by movement. This goes against the traditional view that such sentences involve not movement, but binding, and analogizes control to raising, albeit with one important distinction: whereas the target of movement in control structures is a theta position, in raising it is a non-theta position; however the grammatical procedures underlying the two constructions are the same. This book presents the main arguments for MTC and shows it to have many theoretical advantages, the biggest being that it reduces the kinds of grammatical operations that the grammar allows, an important advantage in a minimalist setting. It also addresses the main arguments against MTC, using examples from control shift, adjunct control, and the control structure of 'promise', showing MTC to be conceptually, theoretically, and empirically superior to other approaches.
