Grady argues that the motivation for linguistic examples such as these is in fact two primary metaphors, Persisting Is Remaining Erect and Organization Is Physical Structure. These unify to give the compound metaphor An Abstract Organized Entity [such as a theory] Is An Erect Physical Object (Grad...

Within the comparative literature, the object file model initially drew support from data reported by Hauser, Carey, and Hauser (2000) in which monkeys were presented with two sets of apple pieces, presented one piece at a time, into two opaque containers, and then were allowed to retrieve ...

However, some of the items in the Object Memory test were unfamiliar to the children (e.g., whistle). The unfamiliar items in Object Memory were replaced and the Visual Motor Integration test from the PENTB was added to the battery. These steps demonstrate the pilot-revise-pilot process ...
This allows for the conclusion that Tagalog is an ergative language. In the analysis I propose, transitive v in ergative clauses values structural absolutive case with the object DP and assigns inherent ergative case to the external argument in its specifier. In intransitive (including antipassive)...

In many languages including English, the controller can be characterised as either subject control or object control in the syntax. This is different from Tagalog in that the controller is not only characterised by either of the two, but the presence of some sentences proves that semantic control...
Participants most often convey simple transitive events using gestures in the order Subject–Object–Verb (SOV), the most common word order in human languages. When there is a possibility of confusion between subject and object, participants use the order Subject–Verb–Object (SVO). This overall...
