TL;DR: In this paper, a simple valence bond model based on the electron requirement of the Mo 6 octahedron to form 12 covalent bonds is proposed to stabilize the structure and have a strong influence on the superconducting transition temperature.

TL;DR: It is claimed that, just as change and causation can be viewed conceptually as either instantaneous or continuous, inchoatives and process verbs, whose meaning involve such notions, appear in natural language as either event or process type verbs.
Abstract: On Verbs and Time February 1985 B.A., Tel Aviv University Ph.D., University of Massachusetts Directed by: Professor Barbara Partee This work is intended to contribute to the study of aspect. It is claimed that, just as change and causation can be viewed conceptually as either instantaneous or continuous, inchoatives and process verbs, whose meaning involve such notions, appear in natural language as either event or process type verbs. We adopts Dowty's hypothesis that the difference between classes of aspectual verbs may be captured by the presence of abstract operator such as Become, CAUSE and DO in the logical structure of verbs, where these notions from generative semantics are formalized in a Montague Grammar. We argue that the presence of the abstract operators does not always yield the classification of aspectual verbs predicted by Dowty, due to the interaction of the meaning of these operators with other factors. While achievement and accomplishment verbs, which are analyzed as including Become and CAUSE respectively in their meaning, are event type verbs for Dowty, inchoative and causative verbs which are process verbs may be found in natural language. Their semantic analysis involves notions such as comparison, scope

TL;DR: In this article, a descriptive work on predicate classes and their argument structure in Basque is presented, dealing with the relation between argument structure and syntactic projection, as well as the relationship between argument structures and predicate classes.
