    Social group effects on communicative conventions

    No full text
    Supporting data for Atkinson, Mills, and Smith manuscript. Languages differ in their complexity. One possible explanation for this observation is that differences in social factors influence linguistic complexity: languages which are typically used for esoteric communication in small-scale "societies of intimates" exhibit greater complexity as a result of the communicative contexts in which they are employed. We use the techniques from referential communication studies across three experiments to assess the effects of two social group factors thought to influence the esotericity of communication --- group size and amount of communally-shared knowledge --- on the brevity and transparency of linguistic conventions. While we find the more exoteric contexts initially result in longer labels and a greater reliance on more literal descriptive terms, there is no effect of either factor in the longer term, and so no support for the idea that the structure of linguistic conventions is shaped by the groups in which they develop. This dataset contains the labels produced by the participants in Experiments 1 and 2 and the GLMM model outputs.ams_labels.csv: description data from Experiments 1 and 2 ams_key.txt: key for ams_labels.cs

    Speaker_input_variability_raw_data

    No full text
    Supporting data for Atkinson, Kirby, and Smith (in preparation). Speaker input variability does not explain why larger populations have simpler languages: raw data for Experiments 1 and 2. Languages spoken by more people appear to be structurally more simple, but it is not clear why this would be the case. This study investigates one possible explanation. It has been proposed that learning in a larger community results in a learner receiving their input from a greater number of speakers. This will increase the variability of the input, and we test the proposal that this in turn may make more complex grammatical features more difficult to transfer from generation to generation.This item contains two comma separated value files (.csv) and a readme text file (.txt). exp_1.csv gives the results from Experiment 1, which investigates the effect of speaker variability on the segmentation of continuous linguistic input; exp_2.csv gives the results from Experiment 2, which investigates the effect of speaker variability on the acquisition of a miniature language

    Military Life at Fort Atkinson 1819-1827

    No full text
    This thesis uses an in depth examination of documents and other archeological finds in order to give an accurate description of military life at Fort Atkinson from 1819-1827.During the summer of 1956, the Nebraska State Historical Society Field Party, conducted by Marvin F. Kivett, Director of the Museum, excavated a portion of the site of the fort, near Fort Calhoun, Nebraska.The author was granted access to the material recovered by this archeological field party for the writing of this thesis. The author first gives an examination of the background behind For Atkinson, including a description of the Yellowstone Expedition and the expedition for Council Bluffs.The author then goes on to discuss the construction of the fort, the general routines of those who lived at Fort Atkinson, the quartermaster and their duties, the medical department and even details of the musicians and band that worked at the fort.The author also wrote of the relations Fort Atkinson had with neighboring Indian tribes and finally discusses the reasons behind the decision to abandon Fort Atkinson and the overall significance of Fort Atkinson.

    Effect of Carboxymethyl Cellulose Added at the Dosage Stage on the Foamability of a Bottle-Fermented Sparkling Wine

    No full text
    Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is used in winemaking to prevent potassium bitartrate or potassium hydrogen tartrate deposits from forming. These deposits are particularly detrimental when occurring in bottle-fermented sparkling wine ahead of disgorging or in the finished product as they can cause gushing of the wine when bottles are opened. Despite CMC being used by several sparkling winemaking producers both on the base wine and after disgorging, its effect on the behavior of foam, a key indicator of sparkling wine quality, has not been systematically tested. In this work the effect on wine composition and foam attributes of CMC additions to an English sparkling wine at the dosage stage was assessed. Results showed that CMC did not cause major changes on wine parameters, with the exception of wine viscosity, and did not result in major modification of the foamability of a wine, especially when analyzed in real serving conditions. These results suggest that, at least for the wine analyzed in this work, CMC could be added at the dosage stage without compromising its foam quality attributes

    Introducing Misusing Scripture:What are Evangelicals Doing with the Bible?

    No full text
    Detailed introduction (73 pages, 32,000 words) to Misusing Scripture: What Are Evangelicals Doing with the Bible? (2023a above). The editors’ introduction to Misusing Scripture discusses the book’s background and rationale, explains its objective, and identifies and defines key issues. Important terms including “evangelical,” “scholarship,” “faith-based scholarship,” “inerrancy,” and “scriptural fundamentalism” are carefully described in order to effectively evaluate evangelical biblical scholarship, the book’s topic. How does it work, is it legitimate, is it possible, are “evangelical” and “academic” an oxymoron? The bulk of the introduction is a detailed description and sustained critique of evangelical biblical scholarship that reviews and expands on evaluations by other non-evangelical scholars and occasionally by evangelicals also. It is argued that while evangelicals can make valid contributions to biblical scholarship in some cases, very often their scholarship is compromised by their apologetic approach to the Bible and their questionable presuppositions and methods. The problems identified extend to how evangelicals have misused “biblical” archaeology to bolster their distinctive beliefs about the Bible, and also to how they have used their disputed interpretations of the Bible to impact issues in the public square. The introduction concludes by summarizing the individual contributions which address evangelical biblical scholarship in relation to inerrancy and textual criticism, archaeology and history, and the Bible in its ancient and contemporary contexts

    Nancy Atkinson

    An Author Event presented by The Friends of the University of Adelaide Library, 16 August 2018, Ira Raymond Exhibition Room, Barr Smith Library.Emma will speak about Nancy Atkinson who was a pioneer bacteriologist in antibiotics and salmonellas from 1939 at the University of Adelaide and the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science. Interestingly, Emma’s grandmother, Jessica McEwin (nee Mawson), was working at the University of Adelaide as a bacteriologist at the same time as Nancy Atkinson. Writing about Nancy continues Emma’s theme of promoting lives which might otherwise go unrecognised. Situating Nancy Atkinson in the context of women scientists of the 20th Century and more particularly in the context of South Australian women scientists will help to highlight the significance of her achievements and contributions to scientific research. Emma will be making use of Nancy’s papers that are held in Special Collections
