Resolving structural ambiguity using animacy and grammatical cues in Chinese. by Ong, Deborah Yoke Ting.

“…The role of animacy has also been found to be relevant in Chinese, with studies on the Competition Model supporting it as an important cue in agent identification (Bates et al., 1992). With two off-line questionnaire studies, this study looks at how the semantic animacy role and grammatical role (low attachment preference) affect ambiguity resolution in Chinese for both comprehension and production. …”

The elusiveness of 'interdependent obligations' and the invocation of responsibility for their breach by Urs, P

“…The Commission, for its part, addressed the invocation of responsibility for breaches of such obligations by distinguishing between the respective entitlements of ‘an injured State’, under article 42, and ‘a State other than injured State’, under article 48. In line with this distinction, the existing debate has focused largely on clarifying the entitlement of ‘a State other than an injured State’ to invoke responsibility for breaches of obligations owed erga omnes partes or erga omnes, in accordance with article 48. …”

One-dimensional sectors from the squashed three-sphere by Bomans, P, Pufu, SS

“…Three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}$ = 4 superconformal field theories contain 1d topological sectors consisting of twisted linear combinations of half-BPS local operators that can be inserted anywhere along a line. After a conformal mapping to a round three-sphere, the 1d sectors are now defined on a great circle of $\mathcal{S}$³. …”
