Only trials in which N’kisi said one or more of the key words were included in the analysis of the data, because only in such trials could N'kisi have scored a hit or a miss.

The trial court properly granted summary disposition in favor of defendant because plaintiffs could not rely solely upon defendant’s control of the sewage system in support of their trespass-nuisance claim, but had to show defendant was a proximate cause of the injury and defendant set in motion or had control of the physical intrusion.
Plaintiffs claimed the trial court erroneously held they were required to show a defect that was “caused by” or “set in motion by” defendant, arguing the establishment of control by defendant of the instrumentality through which the intrusion came was sufficient to establish liability under the trespass-nuisance exception to governmental immunity.

Since there are hardly any languages in which number does not play a role, either in the noun or in the verb system, there is no doubt that this book, or rather, parts of it, will be highly useful for field linguists.

 Contiguity and Reinforcement Factors
A measure of repetition was calculated by dividing the number of alternatives that were chosen for the first time on Trials 2, 3, or 4 by the number of those alternatives that were chosen again on at least the succeeding trial.
A key by which E determined rights and wrongs was constructed by selecting English alternatives randomly, with an equal number from each position, A through E. Four random orders of the items within each set (i.e., for each trial) were used; these sets were presented in 1-2-3-4-1 order for a total of five trials.
Most importantly, the present data demonstrate that, given instructions to respond to one of a number of stimuli (to one of the five alternatives), the occurrence of that response (using these procedures and under these conditions) is sufficient to increase the probability that the same response will occur on the next presentation of that item.

 Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 96015664
This volume provides a commentary on the six surviving speeches of the fifth-century BC Athenian orator Antiphon, all of which concern homicide, together with a fragment of Antiphon's final speech at his own trial for treason in 411 BC.
The commentary discusses grammatical, stylistic, textual, legal, rhetorical, historical and other matters and focuses especially on Antiphon's argumentation and forensic strategy: why he presents these arguments in this particular way.
The work includes a new Greek text which restores some of the special qualities of Antiphon's style that twentieth-century editors have edited out and a substantial introduction to the life and work of Antiphon, the nature of Athenian law and legal oratory and the style and textual tradition of Antiphon.
