This research studies the EXTENDED PROJECTION PRINCIPLE and explains the status of subject construction in the sentences of Avestan, Old, and Middle Persian based on the Generative Grammar. The results show that the EXTENDED PROJECTION PRINCIPLE feature in those languages is strong and the tense functional head after valuation of the case feature on the noun phrase in the specifier of little verb phrase and receiving the proper valuation for its phi-feature from the same noun phrase, should have a noun phrase in its specifier based on the EXTENDED PROJECTION PRINCIPLE. In those languages, the subject cannot remain in the specifier of the little verb phrase and should move to upper functional head due to the strength of the EXTENDED PROJECTION PRINCIPLE. This study shows that the unmarked word order in the embedded sentences of those languages is subject-object-verb order but in the matrix sentences, the constructions can move to other positions based on the scrambling.

A double ambiguity has been charged against Rawls’s difference PRINCIPLE (DP). Is it Maximin, Leximin, or something else? Usually, following A. Sen, scholars identify DP with the so-called Leximin. One argues here that one has to distinguish 1° the Leximin, 2° the Maximin (as rule of justice formally analogous to the maximin rule of decision), represented by the figure in L of the perfectly substitutable goods, and 3° the genuine DP. When the augmentation of inequality benefits the worse off, only Pareto-strong improvements are permitted. Leximin would also permit Pareto-weak improvements too (after the first maximum D), where only the richest improves: from (2, 3) to (2, 5), say. This is forbidden by DP. With two classes, unlike Maximin, DP has no curve of indifference and is always decisive, as Leximin is. For undecisive Rules of Justice, which admit indifferent curves, I propose to add a lexically secondary rule, to break ties. That move is able to clarify the links and the differences between on the one hand Maximin alone, with its typical indifference curves in L, and on the other hand, the DP properly understood and the Leximin, which both have no indifferent curves. With two classes of persons (best off/worse off), DP appears more egalitarian than Leximin, because it's secondary rule is MinIn (Minimization of Inequality). But the intuition behind the distinction is that it cannot possible “fair” that only the best off improves in a productive social cooperation.

Apparently it is an unattainable goal to delimit translation. Pertinent to the seemingly unlimited power of translation is the intricate choices it makes available on different levels both linguistic and extra linguistic. Universal grammar admittedly attests ample evidence in support of the view that it is possible not only to come up with demarcating translation but also to put boarder on it. This article aims at doing the feat of explicating the role of UG in translation, inculcating its relation with some terms common in translation studies and introducing translation as a process in Chomsky an framework.    

In this paper, we use the auxiliary PRINCIPLE technique to study the existence of a solution of the EXTENDED general variational inequalities, which were introduced and studied by the author. Several special cases are also discussed.

Contrary to the view that supposes Persian raising constructions have an overt expletive, we suggest that the verbs of these constructions enter derivation with valued ϕ-features. Therefore, the concept of EPP and its strength differ in Persian and English. In addition, some Iranian linguists, such as Anushe (2008), consider EPP as a trigger that drives subject movement from VP to the spec-T which is the same as English. In the same vein, based on Radford’ s hypothesis (2009), it was suggested that case feature triggers A-movement in Persian. Consequently, by subject movement to the spec-T, the CP head that c-commands subject assigns its case feature and EPP is also satisfied. The output of this derivational hypothesis is a unitary account of case assignment.

The non-overt subject of the infinitive clause is represented by the element PRO, an NP which appears to be syntactically active without overt manifestation. Although PRO is a part of architecture of GB, no coherent account of this element can be found in Persian. The stipulation of PRO by Iranian grammarians both traditional and modern has been in vain due to two dilemmas: first the nature of non-finite clause in Persian, and second, finding ungoverned position for PRO. After all, syntactic, semantic and morphological behavior of Masdsar in Persian supports its constituency nature in favor of being a non-finite clause. Subsequent to introducing the non-finite clause in Persian, there will be a room to account for the existence of PRO. Of considerable importance is the justification that non-finite clauses are CPs not IPs, which makes it possible to find an ungoverned position for the distribution of PRO.

In this paper a new method of parameter estimation was employed for EXTENDED Burr XII parameters using the PRINCIPLE of maximum entropy (POME) based on k-record values. Exact solutions for expectations were obtained. Monte Carlo simulation method were applied to assess the performance of this method.

Today, countries’ power PROJECTION, along with tangible and intangible elements of power, is considered as one of the indicators of national power which through them, a country fulfills its demands by using consequences of power elements. Depending on the amount of this power, the scope and the range of countries’ power PROJECTION differs from each other. Although, many international scholars pay attention to the U.S. and Russia’s elements of strength and power PROJECTION as the world's greatest military powers, however, the prospect of China’s continuous and increasing economic growth considers the country’s likely increase of power PROJECTION.Thus, by viewing the concept of power PROJECTION, in this article, we will examine its elements in relation with China and then, with a comparative look, we study China’s power PROJECTION at regional and international level.

A Control Chart can be designed based on heuristic, statistical, economic or economic statistical assumptions. When a control chart such as multivariate cumulative sum (MCUSUM) control chart is employed to monitor a production process, three parameters should be determined; subgroup size, sampling frequency and the control limits. This paper provides an algorithm for economic-statistical designing the PPCUSUM control charts parameters based on simulation approach. Finally, example and sensivity analysis are presented.
