OV/VO alternations and the complexities of object-licensing in Wu Chinese
While the basic/underlying word order in Chinese languages is SVO, SOV patterns are also attested, and in Mandarin frequently arise for reasons of focus or (inner) topicalization (Ernst and Wang 1995; Paul 2005). In contrast to such optional OV, in many varieties of Wu Chinese an obligatory OV sequencing often occurs, which cannot be attributed to information structure. Instead, the positioning of the object relative to the verb regularly varies …
Reflexivization and Mình-Exceptional Local Binding by a Monomorphemic Anaphor
This paper considers the distribution of the anaphor mình in Vietnamese and whether mình can be locally bound in the absence of the reflexivizing element tự. The patterning of Vietnamese mình poses a potential challenge to theories of binding based on claims that anaphors that are monomorphemic reject local binding and are unable to reflexivize a predicate. The paper reports on an experiment designed to probe judgements of mình in local reflexive…
Floating quantifiers, specificity and focus in Lalo Yi
Lalo Yi presents a distribution of numeral-classifier pairs that appears to be the complete inverse of the norm found in other numeral-classifier languages. With many numerically-quantified, discourse-new referents, Lalo Yi permits only the use of a floated pattern, and it is not possible to combine numerals and classifiers with NPs as in other numeral-classifier languages. This patterning presents a clear challenge to the oft-adopted assumption …
Co-designed community mental health exercise program
This presentation demonstrates the importance of shared values and visions by utilising co-design to develop and implement community-based programs that encourage healthy lifestyle change and address physical health outcomes for individuals living with severe mental illness (MI). The purpose of the presentation is to evaluate a co-designed and co-facilitated program that aims to improve mental health by building connection to community, confidenc…
Evaluating the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the provision of physical health interventions to mental health consumers within Sydney Local Health District
Why did you do it? In the aftermath of the Delta & Omicron waves of COVID-19 in Australia, services gradually returned to a ‘business as usual’ model, but it was identified that the pandemic response may have impacted on routine care provision for vulnerable populations. Who is it for? Individuals with severe mental illness experience disproportionately high rates of chronic disease, leading to a 20-year reduced life expectancy compared to the ge…

A Covid-19 Outbreak in a Large Meat-Processing Plant in England
The meat-processing industry had frequent COVID-19 outbreaks reported worldwide. In May 2021, a large meat-processing plant in the UK had an outbreak affecting 4.1% (63/1541) of workers. A rapid on-site investigation was conducted to understand the virus transmission risk factors and control measures. This included observational assessments of work activities, control measures, real-time environmental measurements and surface microbial sampling. …
A Sars-CoV-2 outbreak in a plastics manufacturing plant
The findings reinforce the importance of enhanced infection control measures in manufacturing sectors, including improved ventilation with possible consideration of CO 2 monitoring, utilising air cleaning interventions in enclosed environments, and provision of good-quality face masks (i.e., surgical masks or FFP2/FFP3 respirators) especially when social distancing cannot be maintained. Further research on the impacts of job security-related conc…

In defense of verb-stranding VP ellipsis
This remark offers arguments against recent challenges to analyses that postulate verb-stranding VP ellipsis (Idan Landau, "On the nonexistence of verb-stranding VP-ellipsis," 2020, Linguistic Inquiry 51.2.341-365; Satoshi Oku, "A note on ellipsis-resistant constituents," 2016, Nanzan Linguistics 11.56-70). The article defends the verb-stranding-VP-ellipsis hypothesis, arguing that it remains the strongest hypothesis available to account for many…

Investigation of a Sars-CoV-2 Outbreak at an Automotive Manufacturing Site in England
Workplace-related outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continue to occur globally. The manufacturing sector presents a particular concern for outbreaks, and a better understanding of transmission risks are needed. Between 9 March and 24 April 2021, the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) Outbreak Investigation to Understand Transmission (COVID-OUT) study undertook a comprehensive investigation of a SARS-CoV-2 …

Can We Boost Preschoolers’ Inhibitory Performance Just by Changing the Way They Respond
Changing the way children make their response appears to sometimes, but not always, boost their inhibitory control—though interpreting existing findings is hampered by inconsistent methods and results. This study investigated the effects of delaying, and changing, the means of responding. Ninety-six preschoolers (Mage 46 months) completed tasks assessing inhibitory control, counterfactual reasoning, strategic reasoning, and false belief understan…

Cancer care decision-making and treatment consent
This study identified ways in which patients and medical specialists negotiated decisions about cancer treatment by observing decision-making discussion in situ. Audio-recordings of cancer care consultations with 18 patients, their support people, and their medical specialists, including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and surgeons were collected in different regions of New Zealand. Patients were followed up with interviews and special…

Beyond visitor statistics
This paper charts a small collaborative research project involving managers of university museums and collections based in one higher education institution. Data around museum and collection processes were gathered over a one-year period in an attempt to develop and quantify a series of value propositions. These are explored with the framework of value propositions elaborated in the literature for public museums. Some operational data of relevanc…
Bare classifier/noun alternations in the Jinyun (Wu) variety of Chinese and the encoding of definiteness
Certain numeral classifier languages allow for the combination of a classifier and a noun to represent a definite individual/entity when no numeral accompanies the classifier (Vietnamese, Bangla, Oriya, Hmong, varieties of Chinese). In many instances, such a patterning alternates with the use of a bare noun to reference definite individuals/entities, but there has been little systematic study of such alternations, and whether the "bare classifier…
Blocking Effects of Higher Numerals in Bangla
This squib explores a paradigm of blocking effects that occurs with phrasal movement taking place within nominal phrases in Bangla. We develop an argument that nominal constituents in Bangla project a mid-level QP phase below possessor phrases and demonstratives, which requires successive-cyclic movement through its edge in order to satisfy the Phase Impenetrability Condition (Chomsky 2000). If a higher DP level of structure is also assumed to pr…
Cancer Care Decision Making in Multidisciplinary Meetings
Little research has been undertaken on the actual decision-making processes in cancer care multidisciplinary meetings (MDMs). This article was based on a qualitative observational study of two regional cancer treatment centers in New Zealand. We audiorecorded 10 meetings in which 106 patient cases were discussed. Members of the meetings categorized cases in varying ways, drew on a range of sources of authority, expressed different value positions…
Argument ellipsis and the licensing of covert nominals in Bangla, Hindi and Malayalam
Obligatory Overt Wh-Movement in a Wh-in-Situ Language
Bangla has commonly been assumed to be an SOV wh-in-situ language. Here it is suggested that both of these characterizations are incorrect and that Bangla actually has obligatory overt wh-movement from a basic SVO word order. This is disguised by a conspiracy of factors but revealed in restrictions on wh-scope and certain apparently optional word order possibilities with complement clauses. Adopting a different perspective on the SOV status of Ba…

Under what conditions do young children have difficulty inhibiting manual actions
Understanding how responses become prepotent is essential for understanding when inhibitory control is needed in everyday behavior. The authors investigated the conditions under which manual actions became prepotent in a go/no-go task. Children had to open boxes that contained stickers on go trials and leave shut boxes that were empty on no-go trials. In Experiment 1 (n = 40, mean age = 3.6 years), the authors obtained evidence consistent with th…

Agreement, Shells, and Focus
This article reconsiders the development and licensing of agreement as a syntactic projection and argues for a productive developmental relation between agreement and the category of focus. The authors suggest that focus projections are initially selected by a variety of functional heads with real semantic content. Over time however such selected focus frequently decays into a simple concord shell, and when this occurs, the lower half of the shel…
The Effect of Cue-Enhancement on Consonant Intelligibility in Noise
Our previous work (Hazan & Simpson, 1998) has shown that increasing the salience of perceptually important regions of nonsense word and sentence materials aids speech perception in noise. This study aimed to extend these findings by investigating the robustness of these enhancement techniques in improving consonant intelligibility for a range of different speakers and for groups of listeners with different language backgrounds. In Experiment 1, n…

The Nonuniform Syntax of Postverbal Elements in SOV Languages
Much debate in recent years has focused on whether postverbal elements (PVEs) in SOV Hindi are derived via leftward movement compatible with the Linear Correspondence Axiom ( Mahajan 1997a , b , 2003 ) or whether they must be assumed to result from some kind of rightward non-antisymmetric movement ( Bhatt and Dayal 2007 , Manetta 2012 ). A second phenomenon, scope restrictions on wh-in- situ elements in postverbal CPs, is often linked to the synt…

Three- and 4-year-olds encode modeled actions in two ways leading to immediate imitation and delayed emulation
When copying a model's behavior with a tool, children tend to imitate (copy the specific actions to replicate the model's goal) rather than emulate (bring about the model's goal in the most efficient way). Tasks producing these findings test children immediately after the behavior is modeled. In 2 experiments, we investigated children's copying behavior after a delay (of a week). In Experiment 1 (n = 90), we found that although 3- and 4-year-olds…
The Influence of the Neighbourhood on Teacher Characteristics
In this paper the influence of the neighbourhood on teacher characteristics is examined, with particular reference to comprehensive schools in Coventry. The focus is upon a consideration of whether the characteristics of teachers in the inner-city and Social Priority Schools differ from their colleagues in schools in suburban locations and of nonpriority status. It was thought that such an approach would provide an assessment of the efficacy of s…

Bare classifiers and definiteness
In some (numeral) classifier languages, a classifier may occur “bare” (i.e. with a noun but without a numeral) and the nominal expression receives a definite interpretation. On the basis of evidence from Cantonese and Mandarin Chinese, Cheng and Sybesma (1999) hypothesize that classifier languages exhibit either the bare classifier or the bare noun pattern for definite reference, but not both. To evaluate this hypothesis against more typologicall…

Sluicing
This book is a multi-authored volume of eleven chapters dedicated to the analysis of sluicing in a range of languages from Europe, Asia, and Africa. Sluicing is the term applied to sentences in which the ellipsis of a sequence of words following an embedded wh question word appears to occur, and hearers must somehow recover the content of missing material, as in English: Someone saw her, but I don’t know who .... Elliptical constructions of this …
