  Structure for preventing dislocation of a spring in an optical disk cartridge - Patent 5249177
The structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the side wall of the one cartridge case which is in engagement with the lower wall and the spring dislocation preventing projection is generally perpendicular to the spring contacting portions of the cartridge cases.
The structure as recited in claim 1, wherein the side wall of the one cartridge case which is in engagement with the lower wall and the spring dislocation preventing projection is generally perpendicular to the spring dislocation preventing projection, the lower wall and the upper wall.
The shape of this dislocation preventing projection is not specially limited, and it may be formed to the same width as the lower wall 34 as shown in FIG.

 Dislocation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some types of dislocations can be visualised as being caused by the termination of a plane of atoms in the middle of a crystal.
Mathematically, dislocations are a type of topological defect, sometimes called a soliton.
Dislocations are labeled by the angle between the dislocation line and the Burgers vector.

 Silver halide emulsion and photographic light-sensitive material using the same - Patent 5879868
These publications describe that tabular grains in which dislocation lines are introduced have excellent photographic characteristics such as sensitivity and reciprocity compared to tabular grains having no dislocation lines, and that the sharpness and the graininess are improved when these tabular grains are used in a light-sensitive material.
A dislocation line is more specifically a linear lattice defect at the boundary between a region which has already slipped and a region which has not slipped yet on a slip plane of crystal.
A "tabular grain having dislocation lines in a peripheral portion of the grain" mentioned in the present invention is a grain having at least one dislocation line in a peripheral portion of the grain.

 LINGUIST List 14.788: Syntax: De Cat "French Dislocation"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In dislocated constructions, an element appears in the left- or right-periphery of the sentence and is usually resumed by another element inside the sentence.
Tintin he is famous The foundations of this research lie in the establishment of solid diagnostics for dislocated constructions and a detailed description of the distribution of dislocated elements in a corpus of spontaneous speech.
The restrictions on the distribution of dislocated elements are shown to be pragmatic in nature, and the interpretation of topics not to be exclusively encoded in syntax, contra Rizzi (1997).

 Dislocation (syntax) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In syntax, dislocation is the detachment of a constituent from its phrase.
Right dislocation often occurs with a clarifying afterthought: "We went to the store" is a coherent sentence, but "she and I" is added afterward to clarify exactly who "we" is. By contrast, left dislocation is like clefting: it can be used to emphasize or define a topic.
Another way to classify a dislocation is as a pronominal dislocation, in which the constituent is replaced by a pronoun in the original phrase (as in the above examples), or as a clitic dislocation, in which it's replaced by a clitic.

 David Embick's Manuscripts
Operating on the assumption that the syntax generates hierarchical representations that have linear relations imposed on them in the PF branch of the grammar, the paper shows that many restrictions on Local Dislocation can be shown to follow from linear representations that are required in the "normal" case of linearizing syntactic structures.
In the domain of syntax, statements like 'syntax is mediated by Broca's area' (Brodmann's areas 44/45) may be roughly correct, but are too coarse both cognitively and cytoarchitectonically to constitute insights into neurolinguistic computation.
This problem results from the failure to approach linguistic questions at the correct level of granularity: 'syntax' is not a single, monolithic task, nor is 'Broca's area' a single, monolithic area of the brain.

He creates his work with the memes and the phonemes of our grammar, finding in their syntactical (both grammatical and visual) and contextual dislocation connections to the process of making meaning.
This means of conjoining images allows for the images to be read singularly, and yet one is aware of their place in a larger context – the "paragraph" (to continue the grammatical conceit) of the exhibit.
Single images throughout the exhibit form a type of punctuation for the syntax of the exhibit, allowing room for the viewer to "breathe" or meditate on the meaning of a particular sequence.

 Dynamic Syntax Papers
This paper sets out an account of grammaticalization in the framework of Dynamic Syntax (DS) in which the emergence of object clitics in Medieval Spanish and the change in their syntactic positioning in Renaissance Spanish are shown to be driven by production constraints on dialogue.
In Dynamic Syntax, both parsing and generation are defined in terms of actions on semantic tree structures, allowing these structures to be built in a word-by-word incremental fashion.
A dynamic concept of syntax results, in which in addition to an output structure associated with each string (analogous to the level of LF), there is in addition an explicit meta-level description of the process whereby this incremental process takes place.

 CD Kemoson
Dynamic Syntax is a model of the left-right process of interpreting sentences in context, following the dynamics of parsing.
Students will then be shown how very general concepts of tree growth and their interaction with the way in which anaphoric expressions are understood in context lead to a typology of relative clauses, covering restrictive and nonrestrictive relatives, head-initial relatives (with/without resumptive pronouns), head-final relatives, and head-internal relatives.

Her 1991 dissertation from UPenn on the syntax of predication was an important contribution to the now central syntax of functional categories in clauses.
She has also produced very influential work on reconstruction effects; she was one of the first to argue clearly that a distinction between predicates and arguments is central to understanding this phenomenon.
Her significant work on the syntax of verb placement -- especially as it manifests itself in the verb-second Germanic languages -- has had a shaping influence on research in this area as well.

 Frame-Setting Topic and the Left Periphery in Syntax
Benincà (2001) argues that topic is not a uniform notion and that two kinds of topic phrases should be distinguished, namely Hanging Topic and Left Dislocation.
We cannot argue that the Frame-setting Topic is the same as the Hanging Topic, since the former does not have a selectional relation with the verb, whereas both Hanging Topic and Left Dislocation do.
Whether the Frame-setting Topic is felicitous in the sentence is determined by its semantic relations with the comment clause.

 On the Limits of Syntax, with reference to Left-Dislocation and Topicalization - Ellen (ResearchIndex)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Abstract: this paper is to make a plea for a return to a very restricted notion of syntax, whereby syntax neither follows from discourse function, as the 'iconicity' proponents would have us believe, nor encodes discourse function, as many mainstream syntacticians and semanticists currently presume.
That is, I wish to argue contra Lancelot 1660, as cited in Chomsky's classic passage: (1) A...reason for the failure of traditional grammars...to attempt a precise statement of regular processes of sentence...

The approach adopted here is shown to make two surprising predictions about coordinate structure, the apparent validity of which provides support for the proposed principles and for the general approach to phrase structure that they represent.
Adopting a prototype approach to grammatical categorization, interjections are better seen as peripheral instances of sentences, since they behave as maximal units of syntax but do not exhibit a subject plus predicate structure.
