Over the past year since the Phantom's launch there have been an inordinate amount of magazine, newspaper, blogs, tv spots, reviews, etc. etc. highlighting this awesome new piece of technology. There have been a few negative issues/reviews that have been brought up more than once. Let's address them here and do it with a dose of reality and truth:
1. The Phantom is harder to pilot than you'd think and harder to pilot than DJI promises
Really? If you fall into this category of Phantom pilot than you are either 80 years-old or older, are a careless impatient type of person, or you are one of those 'technologically challenged' people that we all know. Actually, I can't even say that elderly people aren't capable of handling the advanced technology behind the Phantom. My father, who is 60, took to the Phantom like a duck to water. Rivaling even my own piloting skills in early flights. My nephew, at age 10, took to the Phantom like any kid his age who grew up with video games and smart phones would. I think it took him all of 30 seconds and before I could even finish my tutorial he had taken off and was in great control the whole flight.
When you get your drone. Take the time to watch the tutorial videos available online from DJI. Take it easy on your first couple of flights. You do that and you'll be shaking your head at all the morons out there complaining about how hard/complicated it is to fly a Phantom.
2. The failsafes built into the Phantom don't always work.
This one really gets to me. I'm not saying that there haven't been an isolated incident or two of someone doing everything right and the Phantom genuinely failing but number 2 is a lot like what they say about planes and pilots when it comes to crashes and accidents or 'equipment failure'. That is the famous phrase, 'pilot error'. I have watched numerous video reviews of genius bloggers/reporters flying the Phantom and then later writing in their list of 'cons' about the phantom not 'returning to home' or being 'difficult to control'. What they failed to mention but what is clearly visible through their own reviews is that they didn't follow any of the pre-flight procedures. When flown for the first time the Phantom must have it's compass calibrated. This is an easier process than some make it out to be. It's akin to what you have to go through when using your iPhone's compass (waving it around in a figure-of-eight for example). This is something you don't have to repeat each and every time you fly. Also very important before flying is allowing the Phantom to acquire adequate satellite reception for the GPS function. This is how it set's it's 'home' position. Waving the Phantom around while this is being accomplished doesn't work so well. Leave the Phantom untouched on the ground until it's pre-flight checks are complete. I have dozens upon dozens of flights and have tested the 'return to home' function numerous times. It has NEVER failed. The Phantom will also land itself once it reaches a critical low battery level. This function too, has never failed to perform when needed.
Remember, your Phantom is being controlled by a wireless signal. Depending on where you fly there could be a lot of wireless 'congestion'. If you experience a 'fly away' or some other erratic behavior, before blaming the Phantom, make sure you've done your end of the deal correctly and don't forget to take into account simple interference.
3. The one about the cost of the Phantom compared to other 'similar' drones.
To date there is nothing else built like the Phantom. This argument is similar to Mac vs. PC guys. In this case, the Phantom is the Mac. It comes prebuilt and configured to work right out of the box. It is jam packed with sensors, meters, and functionality some of which is only available on more advanced DIY drones. For example the IOC function, or Intelligent Orientation Control, which is built into the Phantom is an advanced option other drones it's size usually won't have. Could you build your own drone for less? Sure. No arguement there. But would you be soldering wires and boards, ordering all kinds of individual parts, programming ECU's and IMU's, attaching motors, GPS, and other peripherals, pairing receivers and transmitters? Absolutely. That's a lot of what you are paying for in the pre-built Phantom. Some people in the RC hobby world love the tinkering and building aspect of the hobby. I'm right there with you. But the Phantom and Phantom 2 Vision are something else. They are geared toward a different subset. They are for the 'everyman' (or woman ;)
There are more but this post is growing too long. Allow me to close by saying that the Phantom isn't perfect. Nor is the Phantom 2 Vision. But for a Gen. 1 RTF Quad, it's a remarkable advancement in the industry and the Vision is a great improvement on the Phantom. Remember the original iPod? That large, heavy, brick that held a whopping 5GB's of data? The first gen Phantom is, to me, the same thing. At the time it was revolutionary and awesome and so much fun. With each new version it just kept getting cooler and cooler. The applications of drones in everyday life is just now being realized and we haven't even scratched the surface yet. Steve Jobs may be gone and his company seems to be slowly advancing toward the land of obsoletes with the likes of Microsoft and other dinosaurs but there will be others to pick up where he left off. In the world of technological innovation and burgeoning new markets, is this the next one?

NHL players can now get in just as much trouble for ill-timed tweets as their counterparts in the NFL, NBA and MLB.
The league has drafted a social media policy that will go in effect this season, CBCSports.ca reports. Similar to other pro leagues, there will be a social media blackout before, during and immediately after games, and also during practice and other team activities. Potential punishments for violations weren't disclosed.
Policies for the other major pro leagues have been in place for about two years or longer. NHL general managers broached the subject last November, but some admitted they were baffled by the world of Twitter and Facebook.
Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke said at the time to USA TODAY, "I don't even understand it (Twitter), so I don't know how to draft rules. I am lost when we discuss this. We don't have any rules."
The NHL and NHLPA jointly formed the policy over the summer. With 132,000 Twitter followers, Phoenix Coyotes' enforcer Paul Bissonnette (@BizNasty2point0) is perhaps one of the players who will be most affected by the policy.
UPDATE: Bissonnette tweeted that he's cool with the new policy, writing that: "People asking about NHL's new policy on Twitter. I think it's good. I don't even play much and I don't tweet on game days. Plenty of off days"
At NHL.com, deputy commissioner Bill Daly weighed in with this:
"The policy is sensible. It lets our players and clubs participate substantially in the opportunity of social networking while identifying and mitigating some of the risks. To date, our players and clubs have been exemplary in connecting with fans on social networks, and fans should not expect to see any material difference as a result of this policy."
Also chiming in is agent Allan Walsh, a prolific tweeter, who tweeted that he doesn't know of any player tweeting within two hours of a game. Asked Walsh: "Does it apply to agents? LOL!"
Reid Cherner has been with USA TODAY since 1982 and written Game On! since March 2008.
He has covered everything from high schools to horse racing to the college and the pros. The only thing he likes more than his own voice is the sound of readers telling him when he's right and wrong.
Michael Hiestand has covered sports media and marketing for USA TODAY, tackling the sports biz ranging from what's behind mega-events such as the Olympics and Super Bowl to the sometimes-hidden numbers behind the sports world's bottom line.

How Far In Advance...
Decorating By Tashablueyes Updated 7 Aug 2008 , 10:43pm by JoAnnB
can I fill a cake with a filling containing whipped cream? I have to fondant this sucker and decorate the heck out of it!
I don't see why not.
well, I know I can do it, I just don't know how long it can be out of the fridge for once I get the fondant on... I'm making my filling with an instant pudding mix, flavored creamer, and whipping cream... I'm guessing it's not very stable in heat.
As long as the whipped cream stays cold, it will be save. Long periods out of the fridge puts it at risk. If not for spoiling, certainly for melting.

A friendly fungus, yeast is the microscopic magic that leavens bread and gives it its unique texture and flavor. At the grocery store, you'll see instant (or "rapid-rise") and active dry yeast. We recommend active dry—the activation (Step 2) means the yeast is alive and ready to go to work. Follow our steps and your bread will rise to the occasion.

I absolutely love this perfume!!! It's one of the only perfumes I actually go by another bottle of. I always get comments on it!! Great for any occasion
I have sworn by hot couture for the past 7 or so years. The scent always gets positive attention, it lasts all day, and a small amount goes along way. Great product!!
My hands down all time favorite. It works great with my body chemistry. It's not fruity, but more of a light spice that can make any nose take a second snif. My secret weapon ;)
The staying power of this perfume will lasts for days... if you want to re-wear an outfit your wore previously while spraying this perfume, you dont have to spray again! I love this smell - it is so attractive. Anything I have worn this, both men and women have asked what I am wearing... love love love. It is expensive but worth the money!
my best friend wears this perfume and let me tell you it smells amazing and its almost the only perfume that does not give me a headache and also ladies the guys love it!!!!
This is a classic must have LOVE perfume . I really fell in love woth it the first time I smelled it. It is one of those perfumes you wear out when you look amazing or you just want to fell sexy.
This perfume is my ABSOLUTE FAV!! I wear this on a night out when I am dressed up. It suits my "sexy" mood. It wears well. Although the perfume lasted much longer than the toilette, which you can't purchase anymore. I get lots of compliments on this fragrance when I wear it.
The smell if this perfume literally smells like candy. I always used to wear it, but once i started having kids I just cant bring myself around to spending $100 on a bottle of perfume. Good gift idea though! :)
MY FAVORITE PERFUME and sadly today as we speak sprayed my last spray from my bottle
lasted me over a year!!!
Need to replenish
Unique scent
I always receive compliments
comes in eau de perfum or eau de toilette (depending on budget and / or strength of perfume)
Pretty yet simple bottle
Comes in great gift sets
The scent lasts all day on you
just a few sprays is all you need
Some may consider it pricey
just absolutely my number # 1 perfume!!!!

London, Jul 23: Rahul Dravid struck a gritty unbeaten 103 but got little support from his team-mates as India conceded a mammoth 188-run lead to give England the upper hand on the third day of the first cricket Test at the Lord's here today.
The 38-year-old Dravid notched up his 33rd Test ton and moved to second spot in all time list of Test run getters behind Sachin Tendulkar as India folded up for 286 at the fag end of the third day. England had declared their first innings at 474 for eight yesterday.
Opener Abhinav Mukund (49), Tendulkar (34) and and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (28) got the starts but could not translate them into substantial knocks on a track which provided assistance to fast bowlers.
For the home side, Stuart Broad claimed four for 37 while his pace colleagues Chris Tremlett and James Anderson took three and two wickets respectively. Off-spinner Graeme Swann got one wicket.
England were five for no loss in their second innings at stumps with an overall lead of 193 runs. Captain Andrew Strauss and his opening partner Alastair Cook were batting on three and zero respectively.
Dravid''s unbeaten ton saved India from the ignominy of being following on but with two full days left in the historic Test, England were firmly on the drivers'' seat and they will push for a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.
The talk ahead of the Lord''s Test centered around Tendulkar''s impending 100th international ton, but it was Dravid who stole the show with his resolute batting though he was dropped when on 42.
His unbeaten 103, which came from 220 balls with the help of 15 boundaries, was also his maiden century at the hallowed Lord''s after he missed the three digit figure by five runs at the same venue in his debut match in 1996.

1 Verbs of cognition in Spanish 399 Verbs of cognition in Spanish: Constructional schemas and reference points José M.ª García-Miguel and Susana Comesaña Abstract This paper examines the interaction between verb meaning and construction meaning using as an example a group of so-called cognition or propositional attitude verbs in Spanish (saber, creer, pensar, considerar, juzgar, estimar, imaginar, suponer, etc). These verbs share some semantic and conceptual features that partly condition the constructional schemas in which they can appear. Our point of departure agrees with Construction Grammar (Goldberg 1995) in the assumption that, on the one hand, verbs involve frame-semantic meanings, and on the other hand, constructions have cognitive abstract meaning partly independent of verbs instantiating them. Thereby, the final meaning is the result of the interaction between verb meaning and construction meaning. The frame activated by cognition verbs involves a conceptualizer and a conceptual content, but each construction proposes a specific construal of the scene. The more relevant differences have to do with the relative prominence of entities that can serve as reference-point in the mental access path from the conceptualizer to the propositional content Keywords: Reference point, cognition verbs, Construction Grammar. 1. Introduction The interaction between verb meaning and construction meaning has been largely defended by Goldberg (1995), who argues for the relative independence and compatibility between verb meaning and construction meaning, that is, the interaction of the meaning of lexical items with the properties and meaning of constructions. The verb meaning entails a rich frame-semantics meaning involving interacting participant entities. Verbs from the same class/group share most elements of their conceptual base (Lakoff s ICM) and differ about the profile they impose on that base and about how they elaborate the base.
2 400 José M.ª García-Miguel and Susana Comesaña The meaning of abstract constructional schemas (for ex.: ditransitive construction) must be necessarily more schematic than verb meaning, since it must fit many verbs from different domains. On the other hand, constructional schemas provide alternate conceptualizations compatible with the same verb. Explicit and implicit participants are determined by the integration of verb meaning and construction meaning, showing differences in construal, specifically differences in attention and focusing. In general, obligatory verb arguments are included explicitly in the schema; but construal allows that elements implied in frame evoked by the verb do not receive expression in specific constructions, and that secondary or not essential elements in the evoked frame could be construed as central participants. This paper is based on corpus observations, namely on ADESSE ( Alternancias de Diátesis y Esquemas Sintáctico-Semánticos del Español ), a database for the empirical study of the interaction between verb meaning and construction meaning, containing both syntactic and semantic features about Spanish verbs 1. It aims to include a list of constructional schemas admitted by every verb in the corpus 2, a general semantic classification of verb senses, the identity of participant roles in the evoked frame, and frequencies in the corpus for each verb and constructional alternatives. Within this ADESSE data base, 98 Spanish verbs are provisionally classified as cognition verbs. Table 1 shows the basic construction for those cognition verbs Table 1.

3 Verbs of cognition in Spanish 401 Along with the canonical transitive construction, other constructional schemas are also common with cognition verbs in Spanish. Some of them include an additional constituent whose motivation will be explained below. However, intransitive constructions will not be considered in the present work. 2. Verbs of cognition: knowing and believing Verbs of cognition designate mental processes, in the sense of Halliday (1985) 3. Mental processes involve potentially a Senser or Cognizer and an object of knowledge or belief (a Phenomenon ). Then, the participants in a mental process usually are, on the one hand, a human participant who knows, thinks, feels, etc and on the other hand, a third order entity, construed as a participant by projection, typically in the form of a complement clause (Halliday 1985: ). Achard (1998) has studied within a Cognitive Linguistics framework a set of French verbs (perception, declaration, volition and emotion/ reaction verbs) also construed with complement clause, in what he labels the conceptualizing subject construction, depicted in figure 1. The subject of main clause has a role of conceptualizer with regard to complement clause, more or less as the speaker conceptualizes the whole scene. objective axis V 2 Sp = speaker Si = subject Ci = conceptualizer Vi = verb CLi = clause subjective axis C 1 S 1 V 1 CL 1 Sp C 0 S 1 CL 2 Figure 1. Complementation in conceptual terms (Achard 1998: 65) 3. Mental processes are processes of feeling, thinking and seeing (Halliday 1985: 117).
4 402 José M.ª García-Miguel and Susana Comesaña For example: (1) María cree que Juan llegó ayer C1/S1 V1 S2 V2 Within the conceptualizing subject construction, knowing and believing verbs specifically are qualified as propositional attitude verbs. These are not factive predicates that specify the subject attitude with respect to possible event designated by complement clause. They state the level of certainty or uncertainty towards the content of the complement structure (Achard 1998: 178). In terms of mental spaces theory (Fauconnier 1995, 1997, 1998), beliefs are typical examples of mental space builders. Cognition verbs are mechanisms used by the speaker to set up a subordinate mental space. For example (Fauconnier 1998: ), in Max thought the winner received $ 100 we may easily distinguish a base space ( reality ) containing Max, and another space containing what Max things, namely that someone received $ 100. The NP the winner is a description, accessing a role or a value either in the base space (the speaker considers someone the winner, independently of Max thoughts) or in the projected space (Max considers someone the winner, independently of reality and speaker thoughts). Then, a complement clause typically represents a subordinate mental space, which may be related in several manners to the base space ( reality, as construed by the speaker and/or cognizer). The process of accessing a secondary mental space can be also understood in terms of reference-points, a concept elaborated by Langacker (1991, 1993): The world is conceived as being populated by countless objects of diverse character. These objects vary greatly in their salience to a given observer (...) Salient objects serve as reference points: if the viewer knows that a non-salient object lies near a salient one, he can find it by directing his attention to the latter searching in its vicinity (...) the target, i.e. the object that the viewer seeks to locate. (...) Each reference point anchors a region that will be called its dominion. (Langacker 1991: 170) The notion of reference-point is relevant to a large set of linguistic phenomena such as the sanction of definite articles, metonymy, possessive constructions, topic constructions and grammatical relations. In most
5 Verbs of cognition in Spanish 403 cases, reference point and target use to be nominals ( things ), but a reference point relationship between for example a thing and a proposition is also possible (Langacker 2000: 26), and that is what happens with cognition verbs. Moreover, in cognition verb constructions there is a natural reference point chain involving the main elements of figure 1 (C0 C1/S1 S2 CL2/V2): the speaker (C0) seeks the projected mental space in the dominion of the conceptualizer/subject (C1/S1) of the cognition verb, and the subject (S2) of the complement clause, as relational figure (trajector), serves as a reference point to the process as a whole included in the projected mental space. (cf. Langacker 2000: 36). As we will see, this reference point chain is maintained, in general terms, across the different syntactic schemas of cognition verbs. 3. Transitive construction: SUBJ-DO The conceptualizing subject construction of figure 1 represents the essential aspects of the frame evoked by any cognition verb. Such a frame is elaborated in different manners by particular verbs and constructions. As table 1 shows, the basic construction for cognition verbs is the transitive: 9878 examples of the transitive construction are registered in BDS/ADESSE with 69 verbs of cognition. The more frequent verbs are saber know, creer believe, pensar think, recordar remember, entender understand, reconocer recognize, olvidar forget, etc. A canonical transitive event implies an asymmetric energetic interaction between two participants. In mental processes, there is no energetic interaction between concrete individuals, but there is a unidirectional asymmetric relation between a human Cognizer as Subject and a Propositional content as Object. Table 2. Transitive constructional schema Cognition <Cognizer Content> PRED SUBJ DIRECT OBJECT V NP-Human clause / NP Therefore, the transitive construction profiles the asymmetric relation between Cognizer and propositional Content, and selects the human cognizer as primary figure (trajector of the profiled relation)
6 404 José M.ª García-Miguel and Susana Comesaña V 2 C 1 S 1 V 1 CL 1 S 2 CL 2 Sp C 0 Figure 2. Profiling in the transitive constructional schema S - V - D (clause) The more relevant variants in the instantiation of this high-level abstract schema depend on the nature of the object: complement clause in indicative, infinitive clause, noun phrase, etc Nevertheless, the most frequent subschema for cognition verbs ( examples in ADESSE) profiles a mental relation between a human subject and propositional content expressed by a clause or referred to by a clitic pronoun. (2) a. Tú pensarás que estoy loco (SONRISA: 234) [finite clause] You are probably thinking that I am mad b. Pensaba visitar a Gloria Valle (SUR: 45) [infinite clause] He planned to visit Gloria Valle c. Ya pensaremos alguna solución (CAIMAN: 38) [noun phrase] We will think later about a solution Some alternatives depend also on the nature of the subject. Figure 1 shows an objective construal where the speaker observes the scene off-stage. However, as shown in table 3 the most frequent case with verbs of cognition is a 1 st person subject, that is, C1 (Subject) equates with C0 (Speaker) so that the speaker is also the conceptualizer of the projected mental space, and the distance along the subjective axis of figure 1 is reduced This fact has a clear basis: one knows better his own beliefs.
7 Verbs of cognition in Spanish 405 Table 3. Subject in SUB DO construction (active voice) Nº Pers N % 1ª sg ,4% 2ª sg ,4% 3ª sg ,2% Total % A similar issue concerns the distance between C1 and CL2 along the objective axis, and is related to the choice between a finite clause and an infinitive construction. This choice depends, in the first place, on the correferentiality of subjects. An infinitival complement is only possible when the subject of the main verb and the subject of the subordinate verb are coreferential. A finite complement is not affected by such restriction (3) a. Mis amigos los vascos creen pertenecer a su país (JOVENES: 135) Literal: My Basque friends think to belong to their country b. Creo que <Madrid> es una ciudad muy incómoda (MADRID: 73) I think that it is a very inconvenient town c. Creo que no volveré más a Gijón (MADRID: 26) I think that I will never come back to Gijón According to Achard (1998: ), this restriction is related to differences in viewing arrangement along the objective axis. The finite complement signals an objective construal of the scene, that is, an optimal viewing arrangement [OVA] which maximizes the asymmetry between the conceptualizer and the object of conceptualization objective axis C 1 S 2 CL 2 Figure 3. Finite clauses: OVA (slightly simplified from Achard 1998: 188)
8 406 José M.ª García-Miguel and Susana Comesaña On the contrary, an infinitival complement signals a subjective construal from the vantage point of S2, that is, an egocentric viewing arrangement [EVA] that blurs the asymmetry between subject and object of conceptualization, since the activity profiled by the subordinate verb is construed from the vantage point of someone engaged in it (and that is why S1 and S2 must be coreferential) objective axis C 1 /S 2 CL 2 Figure 4. Infinitival complements: EVA (Achard 1998: 189) The conceptual distance between cognizer and subject of CL2 depends primarily on the meaning of the main verb. Achard notes that perception verbs (which maximize the subject/object asymmetry ) are not construed with infinitive, whereas the infinitive is obligatory with volition verbs in case of coreference between S1 and S2. Both constructions are found with cognition verbs. In BDS/ADESSE most cognition verbs are registered either with finite complement or with infinitival complement: saber, decidir, creer, pensar, recordar, aceptar, acordar, resolver, olvidar, reconocer, etc. Nevertheless, they show clear differences in meaning (4) a. Y ya sé dar volteretas. (CAIMAN: 41) And I already know (how) to do somersaults b. # Ya sé que doy volteretas I already know that I do somersaults (5) a. Yo no me pienso casar. (OCHENTA: 67) I don t think to get married b. # Yo no pienso que me voy a casar. I don t think that I m going to get married The infinitival construction gives the main verb a meaning closer to that of modals and dispositive verbs. The finite clause distances and objectifies the propositional content.
9 Verbs of cognition in Spanish 407 On the other hand, many cognition verbs are never registered with infinitival complement in BDS/ADESSE: comprender, considerar, entender, sospechar, estimar, opinar, intuir, reflexionar, juzgar, etc (6) a. Comprendió que no tenía coraje para formular tales embustes (HISTORIAS: 62) He understood that he didn t have courage to make such lies b. *Comprendió no tener coraje para formular tales embustes The lexical meaning of this second group of verbs maximizes the conceptual distance between C1 and propositional content, as if it was something perceived off-stage. Therefore the construction is coherent with that distance and objectification of the propositional content. 4. Complex transitive construction: SUBJ-DO-OC The main syntactic alternative to the transitive constructional schema with verbs of cognition is what we will label as complex transitive construction. In this construction, the Cognizer remains as Subject, but the Conceptualized Content is split into two constituents: a Direct Object noun phrase (or pronominal clitic) and a predicative object complement, usually an adjective phrase (or, also, a nominal phrase with como as ). Table 4. Complex transitive construction with verbs of cognition Cognition <Cognizer Content> PRED SUBJ DIRECT OBJECT OBJECT PRED COMPLEMENT V NP NP Adjective Phrase Trajector Landmark The complex transitive construction [CTC] is exemplified in (7a), whereas (7b) exemplifies the fact that the CTC can be usually paraphrased by a canonical transitive construction with a complement clause (7) a. Papá me cree muerta (CAIMAN: 53) Dad believes me dead
10 408 José M.ª García-Miguel and Susana Comesaña b. Papá cree que estoy muerta Dad believes that I am dead In BDS/ADESSE there are 295 examples of CTC with 20 different verbs of cognition. The most frequent verbs are considerar, creer, imaginar, estimar, entender, juzgar. The CTC in Spanish is in some respects similar to English raising constructions. In these constructions, the semantic subject of a non finite subordinate clause is the object of the main verb, although they differ syntactically and semantically from their finite counterparts (Postal 1974, Langacker 1995): With perception and cognition verbs, raising constructions are used for judgments based on more direct evidence. For example, (8c) is used when I am actually seated on the chair (8) a. I find that this chair is uncomfortable. b. I find this chair to be uncomfortable. c. I find this chair uncomfortable. According to Langacker (1995), raising constructions construe the scene giving prominence to the logical subject of the infinitive by assigning it the status of primary landmark, and profiling the connection between subject and object. The relation between subject and object is not due to direct interaction between them, but is entirely mediated by the infinitival process. The raised object stands metonymically for the subordinated process, and it acts as reference point with respect to the infinitival complement. That is, it is the construal of the scene indicates that C1 establishes mental contact with S1, and it is through it that he accesses the process represented by the infinitive V2 V 2 C 1 S 1 V 1 CL 1 S 1 CL 2 Sp C 0 Figure 5. Profiling in raising constructions (NP-V-NP-Infinitive)
11 Verbs of cognition in Spanish 409 Nevertheless, there are important differences between the finite complement clause construction in English and the complex transitive construction in Spanish. First of all, in Spanish the raised Object NP cannot combine with infinitives and gerunds. (9) a. Todos creyeron que había besado a Ana. Everybody believed that he had kissed Ann. b. *Todos lo creyeron haber besado a Ana. Everybody believed him to have kissed Ann. Rodríguez Espiñeira (2002) notes that the complex transitive construction lacks the propositional status of finite complement clauses, and in many cases, there is not any possibility of using it as an alternative. According to Rodríguez Espiñeira, the non-propositional status of the complement of the complex transitive construction is reflected by the fact that aspectual, modal and negative expressions are restricted; and the fact that the complex transitive constructions cannot be used as an alternative to dynamic, identifying predications, which serve as a subjective characterization or assessment of the object. (10) a. No creían que fuera yo el fotografiado. (LABERINTO: 114) They didn t believe that I was the photographed b. *No me creían el fotografiado. They didn t believe me (to be) the photographed Therefore, the choice between a finite clause construction and a complex transitive construction is limited to non-dynamic, non-identifying relation. But, even when there is the choice between both constructions as in (7), there is no identity of meaning, but a different construal, because the complex transitive construction gives primary prominence (besides the cognizer-subject) to the object NP, which serves as a reference point in the access path to its assessment by means of a predicative adjective. The prominence of the Object-NP as primary landmark and reference point is akin to two salient properties of this construction, the high topicality of the DO and the mental space where each element is interpreted.
12 410 José M.ª García-Miguel and Susana Comesaña Adj C 1 NP 1 V 1 NP 2 CL 1 Figure 6. Profiling in complex transitive constructions S C 0 The high topicality of the DO in complex transitive construction is corroborated by frequency distribution in our corpus: the DO is usually not clausal (90,2%), definite (87,7%), and in many cases represented only by a pronominal clitic (35,6% of the total cases). So, DO position is occupied by highly accessible referents, already established in the ongoing discourse and in the current mental space. Once established, they can serve as reference point for a concurrent assessment/evaluation by the cognizer/subject of the main verb. This assessment is expressed by the predicative complement. On the other hand, elements of a finite complement clause are interpreted as part of a subordinate (belief) mental space, and the complement clause designates a proposition whose truth value can be discussed. On the contrary, with complex transitive constructions, the DO-NP is interpreted as part of the base mental space and the predicative characterizes this referent, but it does not get propositional status. So, there is no truth value to be discussed (11) a. Considera que Ana es una asesina, y seguramente no se equivoca. He considers that Ana is a killer, and probably he s not mistaken b. La considera una asesina (*y seguramente no se equivoca). He considers her a killer (*and probably he s not mistaken) Moreover, a complement clause within the transitive construction allows existential predications introducing new referents (even referents unreal in the base mental space), whereas in a complex transitive construction such referents should become definite and established in the base mental space.
13 Verbs of cognition in Spanish 411 (12) a. La sala le levanta el procesamiento por considerar que no hay pruebas para considerarlo sospechoso. (1VOZ: 25) The court lift him the trial by considering that there aren t proofs for consider him under suspicion b. #Consideran inexistentes las pruebas They consider nonexistent the proofs Summing up this section, we have seen that cognition verbs represent a scene where a cognizer establishes mental contact with a propositional content. This contact with the targeted content can be established through a reference point. The complex transitive construction emphasizes this reference-point as primary landmark raising it to the object position. This object is located in the base mental space along with the cognizer and is typically a definite noun phrase or a pronominal clitic, indexing referents highly accessible in discourse. 5. Ditransitive construction: SUBJ-DO-IO Besides the transitive construction (with a complement clause) and the complex transitive construction, in BDS/ADESSE there are 161 examples of 25 verbs of cognition registered in the ditransitive constructional schema (SUBJ - DO - IO). None of them counts among the most frequent verbs in the ditransitive construction in Spanish. The more frequent verbs in this construction are dar give, decir tell, say, hacer make, poner put, and so on. The semantic domains in these cases are other than cognition, they are verbs of transfer (dar), communication (decir, preguntar), spatial transfer (poner, traer), causative and permissive (enseñar, permitir), intended transfer to beneficiary (hacer). Like in English, the central sense of the ditransitive construction in Spanish is that of agent successfully causes recipient to receive patient (Goldberg 1995: 38), that is, the transfer meaning associated with giving verbs. Table 5. Ditransitive constructional schema (transfer prototype) Transfer <Agent Patient Receiver> PRED SUBJ DO IO
14 412 José M.ª García-Miguel and Susana Comesaña Maldonado (2002) takes also the transfer meaning as prototypical for ditransitive constructions and indirect objects in Spanish, as represented in figure 7. Ag Tr Th Lm 1 Lm 1 Exp Lm 2 Dominion = Participant = Energy transfer = Change of location = Mental contact = Dominion Ag = Agent Exp = Experiencer Th = Theme Tr = Trajector Lm = Landmark Figure 7. Transfer prototype: dar, decir (Maldonado 2002: 9 and 55) But, developing ideas from Langacker (1991, 1993), Maldonado makes the observation that the transfer construal implies that the theme ends in the dominion of the experiencer and becomes available for interaction. Thus, the experiencer must also be characterized as a prominent participant that functions as a reference point from which to locate a less prominent entity found in her/his dominion. (Maldonado 2002: 10) There are diverse motivations for the presence of IO with cognition verbs; but all of them rely on a metaphorical extension of the transfer construction and/or the communication schema. The more frequent meaning is the causative. Verbs like recordar remind and evocar evoke are lexical causatives of (mono)transitive verbs of cognition like recordar remember or pensar think about (13) La palabra gitano me evocaba sufrimientos y peligros (SUR: 67) The word gypsy evoked me sufferings and dangers Kemmer & Verhagen (1994: 116) argue that (periphrastic and non periphrastic) causative structures are built up from simpler structural conceptual units, in the sense that they relate (non-derivationally) to more basic clause types. In particular, the causatives of transitive verbs (TC clauses) are based on simple three-participant clauses. The actual correspondences for verbs of cognition are given in table 6.
15 Verbs of cognition in Spanish 413 Table 6. Correspondence between prototypical ditransitive clauses and causative clauses with cognition verbs (inspired from Kemmer & Verhagen 1994: 126) 3-Participant Clause Agent Dative/Receiver Patient V 3 Causative Cognition Verb Causer Causee/Cognizer Content Vcog-caus Besides the CAUSATION AS TRANSFER metaphor, that motivates the correspondences between roles for any causative, some ditransitive cognition verbs are also construed on the model of communication verbs. The ditransitive construction gives the verb recordar in (14) a causative sense (~ she made him remember ) and at the same time a communication sense (~ she said that to him ) (14) Le recordé que era lunes. (CRONICA: 15) I reminded him that it was Monday. The communication frame for ditransitive clauses is also acting as a model in (15), but in this example and in (16), we are using a new metaphor, COGNITION AS TRANSFER, where the IO acts as final possessor or beneficiary of the beliefs of the main subject (15) Pensé en marcharme, te lo reconozco. (SONRISA: 236) I think of going away, I admit that to you. (16) <A nuestras vecinas> les imaginamos secretariados o escuelas de párvulos en Detroit. (GLENDA: 31) <Our neighbors,> we imagine secretariats or infant schools in Detroit for them. Finally, a third group uses a partially different correspondence, with cognition as inverted transfer (acquisition), where the IO maps with an initial possessor, from which one acquires his beliefs (compare with comprarle algo a alguien to buy something from someone ) (17) No es fácil creer esto a un hombre como tú. (COARTADA: 62) It s unlikely to believe that from a man like you. At this point, we have moved a bit further away from the transfer prototype, as far as this prototype evokes a literal or metaphoric path toward the indirect object. However, the notion of reference point pro-
16 414 José M.ª García-Miguel and Susana Comesaña vides a more unified account of the main variants. According to Maldonado, the indirect object functions as a reference point from which to locate the direct object. We may reduce the relevant aspects of figure 7 to the representation of figure 8 IO S DO Dominion Figure 8. Basic image-schema for the ditransitive constructional schema With verbs of cognition in the ditransitive schema, the IO dominion corresponds to a virtual area in which a cognizer mentally interacts with a conceptual content, in such a way that he intends to put such content into the IO dominion (as in [15], ) or he acquires some propositional content within the IO dominion (as in [17]). The distinctive property of the ditransitive construction is that it places both reference point (the IO) and target (the DO) as central participants in the conceptualization of the scene. 6. Oblique transitive construction: SUBJ-DO-OBL The last construction we will comment on is the oblique transitive construction, which adds an oblique complement to subject and object. This construction has in general the characteristics of the transitive construction. But the construction includes an Oblique complement (with the preposition de, sobre or similar) equivalent to a topic that specifies a reference dominion which restricts the propositions acceptable in that discourse context. Table 7. Oblique transitive construction with cognition verbs Cognition <Cognizer Content> Reference PRED SUBJ DIRECT OBJECT OBLIQUE V NP NP PrepP (de / sobre / acerca de ) TR LM
17 Verbs of cognition in Spanish 415 The most frequent verbs registered in ADESSE with this structure are saber know, opinar be of the opinion that and pensar think. The construction is used above all in interrogative clauses, proposing a topic for the ongoing dialogue: (18) Y sobre el piso qué opinas? (MADRID: 72) And about the flat, what is your opinion? (19) - Y qué sabe el Papa de sexo? (SONRISA: 242) And what does the Pope know about sex? When the direct object is a question-word, the majority of the examples with such verbs are accompanied by an oblique complement setting the discourse topic that is expected to be elaborated in the answer to the question: Table 8. Interrogatives as DO with pensar, saber and opinar: Construction N % Example SUB DO 44 37,6% Qué piensas? SUB DO OBL(de/sobre) 73 62,4% Qué piensas de/sobre eso? TOTAL 117 The table 9 gives the different types of object registered in the oblique transitive construction. The most frequent alternatives imply a very low elaboration of the object, a very schematic meaning representing the content of the process of cognition Table 9. SUB DO OBL(de/sobre) with the verbs saber, pensar and opinar: DO % N Example Interrogative (DO = qué) 18,7% 28 qué piensas/sabes de eso? Quantifier (DO = mucho/poco/...) 37,3% 56 De esto sé mucho / poco / nada Relative Pro (DO = lo que) 8,0% lo que pienso/sé/opino sobre eso Clause 2,7% 4 Sobre eso pienso que Other 3,3% 5 TOTAL 100% 150 In addition to interrogatives, the construction is very common with a quantifier as object, as in (20). Here, the most frequent cases are the negative clauses with the verb saber and a negative quantifier as direct
18 416 José M.ª García-Miguel and Susana Comesaña object, as in (21). The oblique complement delimits the dominion within which the negation or quantification is valid. (20) mira! de fútbol sé bastante... aunque parezca mentira (MADRID: 78) look! about football, I know enough... strange though it may seem (21) Qué hay de Finita? Nada? De Finita no sé absolutamente nada. (BAIRES: 428) What s about Finita? Nothing? About Finita, I don t know absolutely nothing Then, the oblique complement appears as a necessary reference point providing a dominion for an underspecified propositional content. The complex transitive construction very rarely includes an explicit completive clause, as in (22). In that case, the oblique complement establishes the topic of the completive clause, or the topic of the ongoing discourse that develop the question word, as in (23), and it tends to coincide with the subject (22)... objetos de los que pensamos que se atraen entre sí (LING:126)...objects about which we think that they attract each other (23) Qué piensas tú de los toros y el turismo? Pienso que los toros..., bueno, mejor dicho, el turismo ha dado un gran impulso a la fiesta nacional (MAD: 92) What do you think about bulls and tourism? I think that bulls..., well, rather, tourism has given a great impulse to bullfighting Nevertheless, the relevant factor is topicality. In (24), la Feria is the topic of the complement clause, but not the subject of suprimir (24) Bueno, yo opino sobre la Feria que si estuviera en mis manos la suprimía. (SEVILLA: 265) Well, I have the opinion about the Fair that if it were in my hands I ll suppress it
19 Verbs of cognition in Spanish 417 SUBJ OBL OBJ C 1 S 1 T R TR LM Sp C 0 Figure 9. Oblique complement as a reference point As stated by Langacker (2000: 26), topics are particular cases of reference point phenomena, representing things that give access to a proposition. In the oblique transitive construction, cognizer and propositional content continue to be trajector and landmark of the profiled relationship, as in figure 2, but the proposition content must be searched within the dominion of the oblique complement, which represents a reference-point established as discourse topic. The noteworthy point about this construction is that the propositional content is frequently reduced to a question word or a quantifier, so a reference dominion is almost all we can get. 7. Conclusions The meaning of cognition verbs involves a conceptualizer (typically, the subject) conceiving or assessing an event, typically represented by a complement clause in the object syntactic slot (creo que es capaz de hacerlo). Alternatively, many cognition verbs allow constructions with nominal object and adjectival predicative complement (lo creo capaz de hacerlo). It is well established (Rodríguez Espiñeira 2002) that there is no equivalence between these two syntactic schemas, and that subject- raising to object is motivated as a metonymical reference-point to the conceptualized event (Langacker 1993, 1995). Besides those two constructions, there is also some other constructions involving different configurations of reference-point and target: the schema SUB-DO-IO (le recordé que era lunes, no le creo nada), extended from the model of
20 418 José M.ª García-Miguel and Susana Comesaña transfer verbs, and where an indirect object constitutes a reference-point for a nominal in its conceptual domain; and the schema SUB-DO- Oblique(de) ( Qué piensas tú de ella?) where the prepositional adjunct represents a reference-point established as discourse topic. Each construction proposes a specific construal of the scene, but the more relevant differences have to do with the relative prominence of entities that can serve as reference-point in the mental access path from a cognizer to a propositional content or assessment. Altogether, we hope to have shown how the notion of reference-point together with the frame-semantics associated with the verb can provide a unified account of cognition verb constructions in Spanish, which should be compatible with the syntactic and semantic differences (in profiling and salience) observed in syntactic constructions.

This week Eminem surprised everyone by announcing his new album The Marshall Mathers LP 2, which was produced by Dr. Dre and Rick Rubin, will be released on 5th November. How did I feel about Slim Shady's imminent return to the charts? Um... I kind of felt nothing to be honest. But to be fair I've kind of felt nothing at all since Miley did this at the VMA's. Like, what the f* Miley?!
But now we've got Eminem's new single 'Berzerk' to listen to, and I'm kind of excited for the rapper's new material. This is a bit of a jam!
