Figure-ground theory is originated from psychology and was then introduced to cognitive linguistics.The basic principle of figure-ground theory is proximity.The figure is a theme and the background serves a foil to it...
Figure and Ground theory,stemming from psychology ,is a theory based on the principle of prominence.The theory holds that the separation principle,which is not only a basic cognitive principle of spatial organization,...
This paper suggests a theoretical model for teaching syntactic relations to foreign students of English Linguistics using insights from Cognitive Grammar as developed in Langacker(e.g.1987,1991,1999) and elaborated on...
Empty categories,which lack phonological form and hence are not visible in the phonetic representation of the sentence,have both syntactic and semantic properties.Null subjects PRO and pro are base-generated empty cat...

The mechanism of diffusion and concentration of neural activity is one of the basic laws of neuronal interaction in the cerebral cortex.The evidence shows that the lateral connections between neurons in the cerebral n...

This paper concerns certain difficult problems in image processing and perception: neuro-computation of visual motion information. The first part of this paper deals with the spatial physiological integration by the f...

In this paper the neurocomputation of figure-ground relative motion information in thevisual system of the fly have been investigated in great detail by a combination of quanti-tative behavioural experiments and compu...
Figure-ground discrimination and pattern discrimination represent one of the most important problems in computer vision. Based on computational neuronal network model proposed by Reichardt et al. for figure-ground dis...
A fly can discriminate an object ('figure') from its background on the basis of motion information alone. This information processing task has been analysed, so far, mainly in behavioural studies but also in electroph...
