In this paper I discuss Hungarian progressive as it is expressed in focus-free sentences whose VP possibly contains a particle (verbal prefix). I define three simple distributional tests on the basis of which logical correspondences between certain types of expressions are established. These correspondences are then used to refute the hypothesis that the progressive in Hungarian is a stativizer. Finally, I take a broader look at the possibility of predicting the existence of the progressive reading in the case of particle plus verb complexes..

Abstract  

The Viennese Ma (May 1920 to June 1925) is seen today as one of the most important journals of the so-called classical avant-garde. Its influence on the international avant-garde movement in the 1920s and also later is well known. Apart from these very general observations, there have hardly been any more in-depth discussions on the journal. In a number of academic studies the authors examined the relation between Ma, or the members of the group associated with Ma, and its Viennese environment. A consensus was more or less reached that neither the circle in Vienna nor the journal had any real echo. These studies base their arguments on testimonies such as the reminiscences of those involved with the journal and newspaper reports from that time. The present essay explores the same question by analyzing the German-language texts published in the journal Ma to show the image of the journal and of the group that emerged for contemporaries who did not speak Hungarian. For the first time a scholarly study seeks to show what exactly was rejected by readers in Vienna between 1920 and 1925.

Dense in-group and scarce out-group relations (network segregation) often support the emergence of conflicts between groups. A key underlying mechanism is social control that helps to overcome the collective action problem within groups, but contributes to harmful conflicts among them in segregated settings. In this study, a new experimental design is introduced to test whether internalized social control affects contribution decisions in intergroup-related collective action. Subjects played single-shot Intergroup Public Good games in two groups of five each without communication. Subjects were connected via computers and connection patterns were manipulated to detect forms of social control that are activated conditional on expectations and on the composition of the artificially created ego-network. Results confirm the influence of behavioral confirmation and the conditional impact of internalized traitor and selective incentives. As an aggregated consequence of these social control effects, harmful intergroup outcomes were least likely when members of the groups were arranged in a mixed network.
