Methodological considerations. There is optionality in agreement in ST, BUT agreement as a whole is not optional. o Instead of concluding that optionality of agreement holds across the board, we explored possible conditioning factors ▪ We found that the distinction between Specifier vs. Complement base position is the determining factor. o This subregularity proved to be a theoretically relevant and informative point. • The pattern proved to be persistent and robust for a group of speakers we worked with. o However, we also encountered inter-speaker variation. o Pooling the judgments across speakers would have prevented us from uncovering the pattern.

Methodological considerations. 5.2.1 The limitations of the approaches taken
Methodological considerations. The key methodological consideration to make the policy proposals is what is "Evidence-based policy" (Xxxxxx, 2006). According to this model, policy recommendations come as a result of research that follows the principles of the scientific method, so to develop knowledge from practice. Since 2006, the European Union has recommended that member states use evidence- based policy in the field of Education by releasing working documents, reports and initiatives (Xxxxxxxxxx & Vivanet, 2021). Additionally, the principle to involve users was applied, which argues that if users participate in the design of policies, these will be more likely to be successful (Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Cuccillato, Xxxxxx, & Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, 2016). More specifically, a qualitative research approach was used to develop the policies. Qualitative research is oriented on processes and how things work, with the purposes of describing, exploring and understanding social and cultural phenomena (XxXxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxx, 2006). According to this model, and as opposed to quantitative research: x Social phenomena exist in the mind and in the situated world x The researcher places herself in the context of the data and seeks to understand the participants. x The researcher listens with attention and empathy, x The participants speak with their own voice and tell personal stories x Focusses on patterns that can be recognized x Identifies important categories in the data, as well as patterns and relationships, through the process of discovery x Deals with data that is text, rather than numbers x Affords rich narrative descriptions ClimaTePD: ͞dŽǁĂƌĚƐ Ă ŶĞǁ ŵŽĚĞů ŽĨ dĞĂĐŚĞƌƐΖ WƌŽĨĞƐƐŝŽŶĂů

  • Credits and Prorations (a) The following shall be apportioned with respect to the Property as of 12:01 a.m., on the day of Closing, as if Purchaser were vested with title to the Property during the entire day upon which Closing occurs: (i) rents, if any, as and when collected (the term “rents” as used in this Agreement includes all payments due and payable by tenants under the Leases); (ii) taxes (including personal property taxes on the Personal Property) and assessments levied against the Property; (iii) payments under the Operating Agreements; (iv) gas, electricity and other utility charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to Closing; and (v) any other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the Property which are customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in the area in which the Property is located. (b) Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions: (i) At Closing, (A) Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either deliver to Purchaser any security deposits actually held by Seller pursuant to the Leases or credit to the account of Purchaser the amount of such security deposits (to the extent such security deposits are not applied against delinquent rents or otherwise as provided in the Leases), and (B) Purchaser shall credit to the account of Seller all refundable cash or other deposits posted with utility companies serving the Property, or, at Seller’s option, Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain such refundable cash and deposits.
