Introductory notes to a grammar of Cahuilla : [to appear in Linguistic Studies offered to Joseph Greenberg on the occasion of his 60th birthday]
No full textThese notes grew out of my preoccupation with writing a grammar of a particular language, Cahuilla, which is spoken in Southern California and belongs to the Uto-Aztecan family. [...] The Introduction to the Grammar as a whole – of which two sections are reproduced here in a modified version – tries to integrate the synoptic views of the different chapters into a series of comprehensive statements. The statements cluster around two topics: 1. A presentation of Cahuilla as a type of language. 2. Remarks on writing a grammar
A functional view on prototypes
No full textThe human mind may produce prototypization within virtually any realm of cognition and behavior. A "comparative prototype-typology" might prove to be an interesting field of study – perhaps a new subfield of semiotics. This, however, would presuppose a clear view on the samenesses and differences of prototypization in these various fields. It seems realistic for the time being that the linguist first confine himself to describing prototypization within the realm of language proper. The literature on prototypes has steadily grown in the past ten years or so. I confine myself to mentioning the volume on Noun Classes and Categorization, edited by C. Craig (1986), which contains a wealth of factual information on the subject, along with some theoretical vistas. By and large, however, linguistic prototype research is still basically in a taxonomic stage - which, of course, represents the precondition for moving beyond. The procedure is largely per ostensionem, and by accumulating examples of prototypes. We still lack a comprehensive prototype theory. The following pages are intended, not to provide such, a theory, but to do the first steps in this direction. Section 2 will feature some elements of a functional theory of prototypes. They have been developed by this author within the frame of the UNITYP model of research on language universals and typology. Section 3 will bring a discussion of prototypization with regard to selected phenomena of a wide range of levels of analysis: Phonology, morphosyntax, speech acts, and the lexicon. Prototypization will finally be studied within one of the universal dimensions, that of APPREHENSION - the linguistic representation of the concepts of objects – as proposed by Seiler (1986)

No full textLutz Seiler und das „Territorium der Müdigkeit“
No full textInternational audienceThe article focuses on two essays from Sonntags dachte ich an Gott (2004) by Lutz Seiler, in particular on two excerpts both establishing a special bond between tiredness, radioactivity of Seiler’s birthplace and his literary creativity. Far from merely being a paradoxical praise of the atom, the author describes the very origin of the act of writing in drawing upon his early years in eastern Thuringia: his receptiveness and awareness of the physical world and matter, which may have been fostered by his childhood spent in an uranium mining district.L’article est consacré à deux essais de Lutz Seiler parus dans le recueil Sonntags dachte ich an Gott (2004) et plus particulièrement aux sections respectives de ces essais qui établissent une relation singulière entre la fatigue, la radioactivité de la région de RDA natale de l’auteur et sa créativité littéraire. Il tente de montrer que, loin de se livrer seulement à un éloge paradoxal de l’atome, l’auteur décrit la source même de l’acte d’écriture, remontant à son enfance : une porosité et une attention face au monde physique et à la matière, qui pourraient précisément avoir été favorisées par son enfance passée près des mines d’uranium

TRANSCRIPTOME VARIATION IN BREAST CANCER
No full textSuccessful cancer treatment is based on our understanding of a number of biological considerations such as its mechanisms for survival, evasion of tumor suppressor programs, and proliferation. Unfortunately, cancer evolution is often chaotic and a single tumor may exhibit many different methods for achieving its goals, such as direct mutation of tumor suppressor genes, over-expression of genes which target tumor suppressors, or both. With that in mind, it is crucial for clinicians and researchers to be able to distinguish the properties of each tumor and identify similarities between them, so that broad-impact treatments can be ii devised. Recently, a number of advances have been made which allow researchers to gather more detailed information in a high-throughput manner on the behavior of individual tumors. Where once only gross gene expression information could be gleaned using a microarray chip, now sequencing technology enables us to understand what individual isoforms of genes are being expressed, and in what abundance. Sequencing technology advances have als
An Author-friendly Concept for Multi-User Virtual Environments in VRML
No full textS.1177-1178 (Vol.2)One of the visions often associated with the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) is that of a giant networked 3-dimensional "cyberspace" in which people can meet and interact. Yet, despite the astonishingly rapid development of VRML, which recently has become ISO standard, so far multi-user interaction in VRML-based environments has not become commonplace. In this paper we want to put emphasis on a very important aspect in multi-user systems: Distributed applications are inherently more complex than usual, single-user applications. This complexity is often passed on to the scene author. The Multi-User System Concept (MUSyC) introduced in this paper is a new approach towards providing simple, portable, and efficient multi-user interaction in VRML. Our prototype builds entirely upon the VRML 97 standard with no proprietary extensions, is written in Java for platform independence, and has been designed specifically with the world author in mind, who is usually not a distributed syste ms expert. In the following, we will present the concept and how it uses certain features of VRML. Finally, the authoring process of a shared world is discussed
