“N1＋的＋N2”组合的歧义现象研究

根据出现在格式中的能产生歧义的名词小类和两个名词在格式中不同的深层语义关系,对＂N1＋的＋N2＂组合的几类歧义现象进行了深入的分析：一类是N1、N2都是表示人物或身份范畴的名词;一类是N1是表示人物或动物的名词,N2是表示具体事物或抽象事物的名词;还有一类是N1为表示地区、单位的名词,N2为表示人或物的名词。从语义关系角度指出这种歧义类别产生的条件及形成的原因,并给出分化的方法。

A new approach for joint modelling of longitudinal measurements and survival times with a cure fraction

The joint analysis of longitudinal measurements and survival data is useful in clinical trials and other medical studies. In this paper, we consider a joint model which assumes a linear mixed $tt$ model for longitudinal measurements and a promotion time cure model for survival data and links these two models through a latent variable. A semiparametric inference procedure with an EM algorithm implementation is developed for the parameters in the joint model. The proposed procedure is evaluated in a simulation study and applied to analyze the quality of life and time to recurrence data from a clinical trial on women with early breast cancer.

谈"一NX"结构——兼谈与"满NX"的比较

“一N”是一种临时性的量词短语,能够做临时量词的“N”都具有“处所”这一语义特征;并且由于“一N”的非量化作用,使得“一NX”具有了描述性语义功能;“一N”在句法分布上也受到了非量化语义特征的约束而有所限制。相比之下,“满N”在时于“N”的选择、语义功能、句法分布等方面更加灵活和多样。     

“多(么)A的N”式感叹结构探析

"多(么)A的N"式感叹结构焦点前置,言简意赅,表现力强;句法功能多样,在句中主要做谓语,用来对主语的某种特质或属性进行评价性咏叹。当其出现在复句中时,一般处于起始分句或结束分句的位置上,对语境的依赖性较强。     

“看 NV 不 V”格式的句类分布和语用含义探析

述宾短语“看 NV 不 V”格式是由一个“看 N”加上一个正反问的常用格式“V 不 V”构成的，多出现在口语和白话文小说中。就笔者目前搜集的资料来看，前人已对其做过颇多的研究分析，并取得了一定的成果。在本文笔者将主要在前人研究的基础上对“看 NV 不 V”格式中的积累分布和语用含义进行探究。     

A class of mixed models for recurrent event data

In this article, we propose a class of mixed models for recurrent event data. The new models include the proportional rates model and Box–Cox transformation rates models as special cases, and allow the effects of covariates on the rate functions of counting processes to be proportional or convergent. For inference on the model parameters, estimating equation approaches are developed. The asymptotic properties of the resulting estimators are established and the finite sample performance of the proposed procedure is evaluated through simulation studies. A real example with data taken from a clinic study on chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is also illustrated for the use of the proposed methodology.

DO NEWSPAPERS SERVE THE STATE? INCUMBENT PARTY INFLUENCE ON THE US PRESS, 1869–1928

Using data from 1869 to 1928, we estimate the effect of party control of state governments on the entry, exit, circulation, prices, number of pages, and content of Republican and Democratic daily newspapers. We exploit changes over time in party control of the governorship and state legislatures in a differences‐in‐differences design. We exploit close gubernatorial elections and state legislatures with small majorities in a parallel regression‐discontinuity design. Neither method reveals evidence that the party in power affects the partisan composition of the press. Our confidence intervals rule out modest effects, and we find little evidence of incumbent party influence even in times and places with high political stakes or low commercial stakes. The one exception is the Reconstruction South, an episode that we discuss in detail.     

A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE: THE CULTURE OF HONOR AND HOMICIDE IN THE US SOUTH

The paper tests the popular hypothesis that the high prevalence of homicide in the South of the United States originates from the settlement by herders from the fringes of Britain in the 18th century. I find that historical Scots‐Irish presence is associated with higher contemporary homicide, particularly by white offenders, and that a culture of violence was transmitted to subsequent generations—but only in the South and, more generally, where historical institutional quality was low. The interpretation is that the Scots‐Irish culture of honor prevailed and persisted as an adaptive behavior to weak institutions. As institutional quality converged between the South and North over the last 200 years, the influence of the culture of honor has been fading over time. The results are robust to controlling for state fixed effects and for a large number of historical and contemporary factors, as well as to relying on instrumental variables for historical settlements. The results are also specific to a particular type of homicide and background of settlers.
