A simple expression is derived of the componential contributions that different dynamical effects make to the frictional drag in turbulent channel, pipe and plane boundary layer flows. The local skin friction can be decomposed into four parts, i.e., laminar, turbulent, inhomogeneous and transient components, the second of which is a weighted integral of the Reynolds stress distribution. It is r...

This paper provides an exhaustive account of the semantic features and the logical structure of causative active accomplishment verbs of movement. Following the approach of Componential Analysis, and described within the theoretical framework of Role and Reference Grammar, these verbs are arranged into three subgroups according to a number of semantic variables related to their argument structu...

THE outline of a componential descriptive model of voice quality is suggested, in the hope of facilitating discussion about voice quality among phoneticians, linguists, speech therapists, psychologists and psychiatrists. Emphasis is laid on the function of voice quality as an index to biological, psychological and social characteristics of the speaker.

Emotions can be defined as multi-componential, including subjective feeling, appraisals, reactions in the service of action preparation and expressions, action tendencies (including expressions), and regulation (compare Scherer, 2005; Frijda, 2007). A central component of emotions, the “feeling component,” is inherently subjective and can only be assessed with selfreport measures, such as the G...
