Example Sentences:
(1) Also, dative "verbs" yielded better performance when they were inserted in more complex, three-argument "sentences" than when they were inserted in two-argument "sentences."
(2) However, this decrease in performance was more pronounced for symbols representing pure transitive verbs--those that allow only one argument structure--than for symbols representing dative verbs--those that allow two different argument structures.
(3) Experiment 1 extended that work by demonstrating that dative verbs pattern with other complex transitive verbs (i.e., a fronted filler that is implausible as the direct object will not be interpreted as the direct object until the absence of a noun phrase after the verb forces the postulation of a direct object gap.
(4) N-Substituted dehydroalanines (indexed as AD compounds) are capto-dative olefins which react and scavenge free radicals, especially the superoxide anion (O2-) and hydroxyl radical (HO).
(5) A series of self-paced reading studies utilized an embedded anomaly technique to investigate long-distance dependencies with dative verbs.
(6) Subjects acted out 36 semantically reversible sentences that varied in thematic content (transitives, locatives, and datives) and in the order of thematic roles (canonical and noncanonical).
(7) The hypothetical reaction course is described to proceed through an Sn2 formation of an activated complex involving the initial production of a covalent structure with a dative bond (methyl from AdoMet attacks si-face of the 24,25-double bond of the sterol) and the secondary production of a series of high energy intermediates, the stabilization of which determines the final C-24 methylated product.
(8) Experiments 2 and 3 investigate the prediction that semantic analyses precede syntactic analyses in dative questions.
(9) Geometric model and ligand field considerations show besides the dative type sigma-bond formation, the possibility of both dative and retrodative type pi-bond formation between Co2+ and the AX ligands.
(10) We present a study wherein a severe Broca's aphasic patient was trained to learn symbols representing both pure transitive and dative predicates--predicates differing in argument structure--in a visually based artificial language (c-ViC).
