AbstractWe provide the first detailed description and analysis of the syntax of the understudied Greek split reciprocal reconstruction. As in other languages, the reciprocal appears to be bipartite consisting of a quantificational distributor ('the one') and a reciprocator ('the other'). We show that, in Greek, this bipartiteness runs deep: the two parts are syntactically independent, with the reciprocator having the syntax of a Condition A anaphor, and the distributor behaving as a floating quantifier. Once we turn to how these elements establish relations between themselves and their antecedent, we find that Greek reciprocals resist a movement‐ or Agree‐based analysis, since both elements can occur in positions inaccessible to movement/Agree. Given that the reciprocator can occur in embedded subject position, the Greek data also argue against recent attempts to reduce the binding domain to phases, instead supporting a more traditional definition of the binding domain in terms of the smallest XP containing the anaphor and a subject. Finally, we show that the morphosyntactic properties of the bipartite construction can be connected to independent properties of its two component parts and that these can, in turn, be related to interpretive aspects of reciprocity.

Divorce, although a statistical norm, is a developmental trauma to the children involved. This article looks at the two‐camp emotional environment of a divorcing family and its effect on the formation of a child's identity. By examining developmental ages, chosen according to divorce research, the author attempts to show how the interspouse emotional cathexes negatively affect a child's sense of self in ways specific to the child's age at the divorce.

Dalian used to have a very favorable modal split (for public transport) and had the honor of being an environmentally friendly city among its peers in China only a few years ago. However, momentous and when it comes to sustainability rather deleterious is evolving in the past five years or so: automobiles have flooded the city along with car-friendly policies being promulgated at both the central and local levels of government. Consequently, the market share of public transport has been substantially eroded since then. Apart from the rapid motorization that weakened Dalian's position as a green city, another factor fueling the downward trend of transit attractiveness has been the growing fragmentation in transit services. Given the fact that the motorization process is irreversible and restricting car purchase and use is unlikely to work out in China, if something needs to be done to maintain Dalian as a clean and comfortable living habitat, then lifting the fragmentation in the transit system is the only way to do this. Therefore, this paper explores where the fragmentation originates, and how it can be counteracted. A mathematical model is thus built to test the effectiveness of reducing fragmentation in improving transit service. And the results show that the modal split after system integration is going to tilt more strongly towards transit, while for service quality levels for users cannot expect much improvement. These modeling results have significant implications for the future public transport administration in Dalian.

In the 1990s, the financial press has frequently announced corporate spin-offs and split-offs. Financial accounting textbooks, though, contain little or no coverage of spin-offs, split-offs and other types of divestitures. This paper discusses the reasons for divestitures, identifies four types of divestitures, describes the characteristics and common conditions associated with each type, reviews the accounting standards and federal income tax rules and regulations pertaining to each type, illustrates the application of the accounting standards for each type and discusses the potential impact of these accounting standards and tax rules and regulations on a corporation's choice of one type of divestiture over another. As such, this paper may be used as a supplement in an upper-division financial accounting course.

AbstractIn this article I present an analysis of split questions (SQs) in Modern Standard Arabic. I argue that this construction is best analyzed as a biclausal articulation, where two clauses are meditated by a special relation of coordination dubbed "Specifying Coordination." Contrary to the previous literature on SQs, I maintain, on empirical and conceptual grounds, that SQs are best derived in a movement‐free fashion by treating them as a constellation of two well‐motivated operations in the grammar: ellipsis and coordination. If on track, the merit of this proposal is to derive peripheral phenomena, such as SQs, from core principles of the grammar.

This Special Symposium is devoted to understanding why, when, and how often voters in different regions of the world engage in split-ticket voting. Taken together, the essays in this volume consider a range of common mechanisms for ticket splitting -- strategic voting, policy balancing, necessary voting, and candidate-centered voting -- sometimes arriving at divergent conclusions from the existing literature and from each other. To provide a broader frame for these contributions, here we offer a general definition of ticket splitting, examine the state of existing theory, consider the various methodological challenges that ticket-splitting poses for analysts, and reflect on the broader substantuve implications of ticket-splitting for the quality and stability of democracy.
