In this paper, I analyse the usage of a discourse marker =mari, belonging to epistemic paradigm attested in Upper Napo Kichwa (Quechuan, Ecuador). show that use =mari indicates information is known well speaker, but also some extent familiar addressee. situated language use, contributes creating knowing stance speaker. The analysis presented here based on 13-h documentary corpus interactive dis...

Interpreting subjectivity in causal relations takes effort: Subjective, claim-argument are read slower than objective, cause-consequence relations. In an eye-tracking-while-reading experi...

This paper describes a contrastive study of the Philippine and Indonesian newspaper editorials in order to see similarities differences their physical size terms words how Filipino editorialists utilized discourse strategies through metadiscourse markers. To this end, 30 Daily Inquirer Jakarta Post were examined lens rhetoric analysis. The investigation devices was grounded on framework Hyland ...

OBJECTIVE To quantify the effects of medial foot orthoses on skeletal movements of the calcaneus and tibia during the stance phase in running. DESIGN Kinematic effects of medial foot orthoses (anterior, posterior, no support) were tested using skeletal (and shoe) markers at the calcaneus and tibia. BACKGROUND Previous studies using shoe and skin markers concluded that medially placed orthos...

The purpose of this paper was to systematically assess the effect of Oxford Foot Model (OFM) marker misplacement on hindfoot relative to tibia, and forefoot relative to hindfoot kinematic calculations during the stance phase of gait. Marker trajectories were recorded with an 8-camera motion analysis system (Vicon Motion Systems Ltd., UK) and ground reaction forces were recorded from three force...

Objective. Measurements of knee joint movement in gait analysis may result in large errors caused by misplacement of reflective markers by the testers. To properly understand the measurement results, it is important to guarantee the reliability of the measurement method used for the purpose. The aim of this study was to confirm the interrater reproducibility of a measurement method with a rigid...

The aim of the experiment reported here was to determine the static and dynamic stability of two-point stance phases when walking on hands and knees at different speeds. In addition, we defined the methods and predicted the consequences of including two-point stance phases into crutch assisted functional electrical stimulation (FES) walking. Crawling on hands and knees was performed at three sp...
