TL;DR: The authors argue that Head's fictions are a means of testing the readers' gullibility at a time when the status of prose, both fictional and non-fictional, is subject to debate.
Abstract: In line with the method prescribed by members of the Royal Society for natural history and travel writing, Richard Head explored the limits of verisimilitude associated with geographical discourse in his three fictions The Floating Island (1673), The Western Wonder (1674) and O-Brazile (1675). In them he argues in favor of the existence of the mysterious Brazile island and uses the factual discourse of the travel diarist to present a semi-mythical place whose very notion stretches the limits of believability. In line with recent critical interpretations of late seventeenth-century fiction as deceptive, and setting the reading of Head’s narrations in connection with other types of travel writing, I argue that Head’s fictions are a means of testing the readers’ gullibility at a time when the status of prose, both fictional and non-fictional, is subject to debate.

TL;DR: In this article, a rule that predicts which of the two verbal particles occurs pre-verbally in all constructions in the language is presented, based on the assumption that the Modern Breton relative clause is internally headed.
Abstract: The only satisfactory analysis of the Middle and literary Modern Breton relative clause is to assume that it is internally headed. In so doing we arrive at a rule that predicts which of the two verbal particles occurs pre-verbally in all constructions in the language.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a system to enable even a driver who is driving to reasonably enjoy karaoke with reproduced music. But the system requires the user to listen to the text at the head of a phrase, so the user can remember the text of the phrase and pleasantly sing synchronizing to the reproduced sound for karaokes which is outputted later.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable even a driver who is driving to reasonably enjoy karaoke with reproduced music. SOLUTION: A reproduced sound (2) for text recognition is outputted with small sound volume a specific time before a reproduced sound (3) for karaoke is outputted and then the user is able to previously listen to the text at the head of a phrase, so the user can remember the text of the phrase and pleasantly sing synchronizing to the reproduced sound (3) for karaoke which is outputted later.

TL;DR: This article argued that the head of Chinese adjectives is more like on the left than on the right and showed that reduplication is a compounding process, which supports the Headedness Principle.
Abstract: This study investigates whether the head of the Chinese adjective compounds is on the left or right or on both sides. Sproat (1998), Starosta et al (1998), and Ceccagno, et al (2006, 2007) argue that the adjectives are right-headed, and Huang (1998) claims that Chinese adjectives are headless. Using the ABB type of adjectives as evidence, I argued that the head of the Chinese adjectives is more like on the left than on the right. This study supports the Headedness Principle and also calls into questions whether a suffix is the head of a word as traditionally assumed in morphology. On the other hand, it also provides evidence that reduplication is a compounding process as Haugen (2008) has claimed since most of the reduplicated constituents of ABB have a specific lexical meaning and many of them can be used as independent words.
