This article investigates how the growth in income inequality from 1970 to 2000 affected patterns of income segregation along three dimensions: the spatial segregation of poverty and affluence, race-specific patterns of income segregation, and the geographic scale of income segregation. The evidence reveals a robust relationship between income inequality and income segregation, an effect that i...

This study aims to analyze the notion of otherness, which is prevalent throughout 19th century in America through individual and environmental analysis main characters two American short stories- "That Evening Sun" (1931) by William Faulkner Kate Chopin’s "Désirée's Baby" (1893). The current presents common theme stories both Chopin, demonstrates how racism, injustice, sexism, prejudice were im...

This study investigates how Seoul Korean-speaking children and adults use pitchand duration-related phonetic cues to mark focus. It was found that to distinguish focus from non-focus, the adults used both the pitchand duration-related cues, but the children used only the duration-related cues to distinguish focus from post-focus. Further, neither the adults nor the children distinguish narrow f...

This paper deals with an aspectual classification of Korean and Japanese verbs based on Vendler (1967). Both of Korean and Japanese verbs are classified into 12 distinctive aspectual categories by their restrictions on time adverbials, progressive tenses and logical entailments. A well-established aspectual verb classes provide us not only with a better understanding of both languages, but also...

This study investigates recent changes in Korean intonation where an AP-initial syllable [il] is produced as a High tone by some speakers, introducing an exception to the intonational model of Korean. Data from 51 Seoul speakers and 26 Chonnam speakers show that this phenomenon, found most often when [il] means ‘one’, is employed mostly by Seoul speakers in their early 40s and younger. We propo...

In many sexually dimorphic mammals, adults tend to form single-sex groups ('social segregation'). It has been assumed that social segregation is simply a by-product of sex differences in habitat use ('habitat segregation'). I tested this assumption on red deer, Cervus elaphus, and feral soay sheep, Ovis aries, using data on group composition, habitat use and space use collected on the Scottish ...

We study workplace segregation in the United States using a unique matched employeremployee data set that we have created. We present measures of workplace segregation by education and language, and by race and ethnicity, and – since skill is often correlated with race and ethnicity – we assess the role of educationand language-related skill differentials in generating workplace segregation by ...

Meiotic cells tightly regulate the number and distribution of crossovers to promote accurate chromosome segregation. Yokoo and colleagues uncover a metazoan-specific, cyclin-like protein that is crucial for crossover formation. They utilize this protein's unique properties to explore a remarkable example of biological numerology, whereby nearly every meiotic cell in C. elegans makes precisely s...
