The purpose of this chapter is to introduce a prosodic projection into the RRG inventory of grammatical representation. This is a development of previous research in O’Connor (2006). In particular the prosodic projection enables investigation of prosodic aspects of information structure (focus structure) within the RRG framework to proceed alongside existing investigation of syntactic and other...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation affects human life and UV exposure is a significant everyday factor that individuals must be aware of to ensure minimal damaging biological effects to themselves. UV exposure is affected by many complex factors. Albedo is one factor, involving reflection from flat surfaces. Albedo is defined as the ratio of reflected (upwelling) irradiance to incident (downwelling) ir...

We consider the static and dynamic phases in a Rosenzweig-Porter (RP) random matrix ensemble with tailed distribution of off-diagonal elements form large-deviation ansatz. present general theory survival probability such random-matrix model show that {\it averaged} may decay time as simple exponent, stretch-exponent power-law or slower. Correspondingly, we identify exponential, stretch-exponent...

This paper presents the basic concepts of Role and Reference Grammar [RRG], a theory of grammar which draws heavily on the analysis of non-lndo-European languages and which is concerned with the interaction of syntax, semantics and pragmatics in grammatical systems. RRG is a monostratal theory which posits a single syntactic representation for a sentence, which is linked directly to a semantic ...

Fish and amphibians utilise a suction/force pump to ventilate gills or lungs, with the respiratory muscles innervated by cranial nerves, while reptiles have a thoracic, aspiratory pump innervated by spinal nerves. However, fish can recruit a hypobranchial pump for active jaw occlusion during hypoxia, using feeding muscles innervated by anterior spinal nerves. This same pump is used to ventilate...
