    • 2003, John Woods, Paradox and Paraconsistency, page 96:
      As Jonathan Cohen points out, ". . .though aleatory probability [i.e., the probability involved in games of chance] always requires a complementational principle for negation and a multiplicative principle for conjunction, there are contexts in which credibility conforms to non-Pascalian [i.e., nonaleatory] principles" (1989, p. 13).
    • 2009, Ute Römer, Rainer Schulze, Exploring the Lexis Grammar Interface, page 127:
      A useful concept in this context is the notion of verb-complementational profile.
    • 2012, Hermann Wegener, Friedrich Lösel, Jochen Haisch, Criminal Behavior and the Justice System, page 6:
