What I hope to achieve in this paper is some rather deeper understanding of the semantic and pragmatic properties of utterances which are said to involve the phenomenon of metalinguistic negation. According to Larry Horn, who has been primarily responsible for drawing our attention to it, this is a special non-truthfunctional use of the negation operator, which can be glossed as 'I object to U'...

The aim of the study described here was to clarify diagnostic value fluttering sign, a new sign that characterizes hepatic hemangiomas in gray-scale ultrasonography (US). It refers phenomenon which speckled echogenicity inside hemangioma changes continuously and seems be moving. A total 172 diagnosed with contrast-enhanced US were evaluated. found 123 (71.5%). Its prevalence significantly highe...

BACKGROUND The study investigated the ultrasonographic appearance of the reticulum, rumen, omasum and abomasum of calves with ruminal drinking syndrome. METHODS In ten milk-fed calves with ruminal drinking syndrome the reticulum, rumen, omasum and abomasum were examined by ultrasonography using a 5-MHz linear transducer before, during and after the ingestion of milk. RESULTS The reticulum c...

Preperceptual auditory of "echoic" storage was investigated in 8-9 week-old infants using a modification of an adult masking paradigm and a nonnutritive sucking discrimination procedure. Experiment 1 provided validation of a new version of the nonnutritive sucking procedure using the standard stimulus contrast [ba] versus [pa]. In experiment 2, infants were presented with repeating pairs of bri...

The present study sets out to investigate the narrator’s textual position in Grass’s The Tin Drum. Although authorial self-dramatization through affinities with one or more characters in the work is undeniable, this study mainly concentrates on the inner interpenetrations of heteroglot utterances as uttered by an unreliable first-person narrator, Oskar Matzerath, in the light of the Bakhtinian ...

We examined the processing of potential auditory and visual cues that differentiate statements from echoic questions. In Experiment 1, four natural speech statement-question pairs were identified by participants, and then analyzed to determine which characteristics were ecologically valid. These characteristics were tested in subsequent experiments to determine if they were also functionally va...

This review article summarizes the ultrasonographic findings of the reticulum, rumen, omasum, abomasum and intestines of goats. Ultrasonographic examination is done on both sides with the goat in a standing position using a linear array or convex transducer with a frequency of 5.0 to 7.5 MHz. The shape, contour and motility of the reticulum are assessed; this organ appears as a crescent-shaped ...
