TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the idiomatic signs of como que and como si and conclude that there are two main uses of COMO que; the modal relative use and the necessary consequence use.
Abstract: Frequently in Spanish some senses of many grammatical particles are atributes only through the reason of the context without considering the real semantic pattern. In this way como que and como si have been studied as integrated in causal clauses or comparative clauses respectively. But como que can never be equivalent to those clauses in which porque appears; if we consider the idiomatic signs, we can conclude that there are two main uses of como que; the "modal relative use" and the "necessary consequence use". On the other hand, como si presents a different structure as there is within it another relative particle which defers off que. It is not correct that como si is a comparative particle, it has only a sporadic use in this way as a consequence of the context. lis many uses can be as numerous as where this structure is found, and depend mainly on the antecedent. In the learned speech of Caracas, we have found a new union of particles which in any case would be equivalent to como que or como si; como que si has its own characteristics; The subjuntive mood is always present in these constructions and the antecedent must always be concrete, weakening the modal relative sense and approaching at the continuative sense.
TL;DR: In this paper, two experiments were conducted to examine the co-reference between the head noun phrase and the relative clause subject in Japanese relative clauses, with a focus on whether the anaphors jibun "self" and jibin-jishin "self-self" within the noun phrase can be co-referential with the subject.
Abstract: This study conducted two experiments to examine the derivation of the head noun phrase in Japanese relative clauses, with a focus on whether the anaphors jibun ‘self’ and jibun-jishin ‘self-self’ within the head noun phrase can be co-referential with the relative clause subject. It aims to settle a long-standing debate among the previous studies concerning the interpretation of the anaphors inside the head noun phrase: while several studies claimed that the co-reference between the anaphor jibun ‘self’ and the relative clause subject is prohibited, many other studies argued that such co-reference is possible. In addition, it has been claimed that while co-indexing the anaphor jibun with the relative clause subject might be marginally acceptable, it would become fully acceptable if we replace jibun with the morphologically complex anaphor jibun-jishin ‘self-self’, which implies that the morphological make-up of an anaphor may affect its ability to be co-indexed with the relative clause subject. The results of two carefully controlled truth value judgment experiments show that neither the simplex anaphor jibun nor the complex anaphor jibun-jishin within the head noun phrase of relative clauses can take the relative clause subject as its antecedent, which suggests that the head noun phrase does not reconstruct and therefore lends support to the pro-binding analysis of Japanese relative clauses. Moreover, the findings also suggest that the morphological make-up of an anaphor does not affect its ability to take the relative clause subject as its antecedent, despite the claim that it is more acceptable to co-index the complex anaphor jibun-jishin with the relative clause subject than the simplex anaphor jibun.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how employees' perceptions of their manager's character and the character of senior management influenced their trust in their manager and their organisation and found that perceptions of character are an important antecedent of workers' trust in management.
Abstract: Prior research has amply demonstrated that employees’ relationships with their immediate manager and their organisation influences their trust in it. In this three-country investigation, we examine how employees’ perceptions of their manager's character, and the character of senior management influences their trust in their manager and their organisation. Results draw on data from ICT organisations in Australia, Turkey and the Ukraine (n-541) and reveal that workers’ perceptions of character matter for trust in manager and trust in the organisation. Furthermore, sub-components of trust and communication with the immediate manager mediate the relationship between perceptions of character and organisational outcomes. Overall, our findings create a new avenue for trust research by advancing the idea that perceptions of character are an important antecedent of workers’ trust in management.

TL;DR: In this article, the basis of different ways used by pepel language to describe relativisor is discussed, i.e., the presence of a relative after the verb including a nominal class, and a morphem between the antecedent and the relative.
Abstract: AAeO, Vol. 2015, Iss. 1 - This article is about the basis of different ways used by pepel language to describe relativity. The language distinguishes two types of functioning manners. The first strategy is marked by the presence of a relativisor placed after the verb including a nominal class. The second strategy is recognized by a morphem placed between the antecedent and the relative. As all the arguments are relativisable in pepel, I will do my best to investigate one case after another the relativisation of the subject, then that of the object befor ending with the relativisation of circumstants.
