TL;DR: This article examined how Korean native speakers comprehend the zero/null subject pronominal (pro) in Korean in the course of sentence processing, and found that the misuse of the honorific marker with a respectful pro subject relative to its overt counterpart registers a negativity at the anterior region at the 320-420 ms interval.
Abstract: Departing from Mazuka (1991) and Kwon and Sturt (2013), we examine how Korean native speakers comprehend the zero/null subject pronominal (pro) in Korean in the course of sentence processing. Instead of the forward antecedent search design that the two previous studies adopted, we used the backward one to construct sentences where pro finds its antecedent in a preceding discourse. The results of the Event-related Potentials (ERPs)-based two experiments with the two sets of materials are three-folded. First, Korean native speakers process pro in a parallel fashion to overt subjects, which is evidenced by the fact that the pro subject and the overt subject conditions are ERPs-wise indistinguishable. Second, the use of the honorific marker -sion a verb/adjective with a respectful and a non-respectful subject elicits different ERP components; with the former, N400 that reflects a repair of contextual meaning, but with the latter, LAN followed by anterior P600 that reflects a grammatical abnormalcy. Third, we also examine the exact (ERP-wise, temporal & spatial) locus of the difference between a respectful and a non-respectful subject, finding that the misuse of the honorific marker with a respectful pro subject relative to its overt counterpart registers a negativity at the anterior region at the 320-420 ms interval.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a general model for sports sponsorship which takes as its central concept the transfer between event and brand in terms of value and experience, elaborating on antecedent and effects.
Abstract: This study proposes a general model for sports sponsorship which takes as its central concept the transfer between event and brand in terms of value and experience, elaborating on antecedent and effects. 364 questionnaires from Valencia GP Formula 1 2012 fans revealed that value is not transferred from event to brand, whereas, the experience is transferred. The observation is also made that the two terms (experience and perceived value) are significantly related. Additionally, the study confirms that are the antecedent variables of the central concept of the model, together with the proposed effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, a categorization of non-prototypical trajectors (subjects) constructions into syntax-, gram-and lexeme-driven ones is proposed, depending on the nature of the domain that triggers the oblique casemarking on the trajector argument.
Abstract: This chapter’s underlying framework is one of functionalist cognitive linguistics.It suggest a categorization of non-prototypical trajector (subject) constructionsinto syntax-, gram- and lexeme-driven ones depending on the nature ofthe domain that triggers the oblique case-marking on the trajector argument.Additionally, a unified semantic account is proposed, which is based on thecomparison with causative events. The structure of these events consists of anantecedent subevent (typically implicit) and a subsequent subevent. This studyargues that constructions with non-prototypical trajectors (subjects) refer toconsequent events. That is, all three types of constructions exhibit an invariantsemantic core; they conceptualize the event as being a (causally) consequentevent and imply the existence of a causally antecedent event. The differencesbetween the three types pertain mainly to the referential properties of theantecedent event and its main participant: while with the syntax-driven typethe antecedent event is explicit, referential and conceptualized onstage, with thegram-driven type it is implicit, non-referential and offstage, though confined toa particular concept. The lexeme-driven type only implies the existence of anantecedent event; it does not, however, commit any assessment on the conceptualizationof this event.

TL;DR: In this article, the Korean plural reflexives caki and caki-casin-tul are specified as plural, but they can also appear in the singular form with a plural NP antecedent, which induce dual readings, namely, a distributive reading and a collective reading.
Abstract: This paper begins with the observation that the English singular reflexive himself, though inherently reflexive, does not induce even a distributive reading and that only plural anaphors such as the English reflexive themselves give rise to the distributive/collective ambiguity. The Korean reflexives caki and caki-casin, even though they seemingly look alike, have radically different distributive properties. Local caki evokes a single individual, but does not evoke a collective figure such as John and Mary. This is because caki co-reference is ruled out by the incompatibility between caki (singular) and its conjunct NP antecedent (plural). On the other hand, the Korean reflexive caki-casin cannot evoke the guise of the collective figure of the antecedent. This property, called guises, accounts for the distributive reading in Korean. When the Korean plural reflexives caki-tul and caki-casin-tul occur with a plural NP antecedent, they induce dual readings, namely, a distributive reading and a collective reading. The Korean reflexives caki-tul and caki-casin-tul are specified as plural, but they can also appear in the singular form with a plural NP antecedent. This distributive/collective ambiguity is possible only with Korean plural reflexives, not with their singular counterparts, which induce only a distributive reading. Unlike English, however, this property can be reduced to a property of the Korean plural suffix -tul and not necessarily to that of the plural reflexives themselves. In conclusion, one hypothesis which can be applicable to both English and Korean is that to give rise to the distributive/collective ambiguity, structurally plural anaphors must be linked to plural antecedents.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report theory and examines data in ways that transcend the dominant logics for variable-based and case-based analyses, and support the need for service managers to be vigilant in fine-tuning service facets and service enactment to achieve the objective of high customer retention.
Abstract: Recognizing Gigerenzer’s (1991) dictum that scientists’ tools are not neutral (tools-in-use influence theory formulation as well as data interpretation), this chapter reports theory and examines data in ways that transcend the dominant logics for variable-based and case-based analyses. The theory and data analysis tests key propositions in complexity theory: (1) no single antecedent condition is a sufficient or necessary indicator of a high score in an outcome condition; (2) a few of many available complex configurations of antecedent conditions are sufficient indicators of high scores in an outcome condition; (3) contrarian cases occur, that is, low scores in a single antecedent condition associates with both high and low scores for an outcome condition for different cases; (4) causal asymmetry occurs, that is, accurate causal models for high scores for an outcome condition are not the mirror opposites of causal models for low scores for the same outcome condition. The study tests and supports these propositions in the context of customer assessments (n = 436) of service facets and service-outcome evaluations for assisted temporary-transformations of self via beauty salon and spa treatments. The findings contribute to advancing a nuanced theory of how customers’ service evaluations relate to their assessments of overall service quality and intentions to use the service. The findings support the need for service managers to be vigilant in fine-tuning service facets and service enactment to achieve the objective of high customer retention.
