    Funding: The research of the first author was supported by an Undergraduate Research Bursary, number XCLM18, from the London Mathematical Society. The second author acknowledges the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, for support and hospitality during the programme Groups, representations and applications: new perspectives (supported by EPSRC grant no. EP/R014604/1), where he held a Simons Fellowship.In January 1969, Peter M. Neumann wrote a paper entitled "Primitive permutation groups of degree 3p". The main theorem placed restrictions on the parameters of a primitive but not 2 -transitive permutation group of degree three times a prime. The paper was never published, and the results have been superseded by stronger theorems depending on the classification of the finite simple groups, for example a classification of primitive groups of odd degree. However, there are further reasons for being interested in this paper. First, it was written at a time when combinatorial techniques were being introduced into the theory of finite permutation groups, and the paper gives a very good summary and application of these techniques. Second, like its predecessor by Helmut Wielandt on primitive groups of degree 2p, it can be re-interpreted as a combinatorial result concerning association schemes whose common eigenspaces have dimensions of a rather limited form. This result uses neither the primality of p nor the existence of a permutation group related to the combinatorial structure. We extract these results and give details of the related combinatorics.Peer reviewe

    Peter Pan's Film Adaptations and Their Didactic Use

    No full text
    The diploma thesis deals with three film adaptations of J. M. Barrie's famous novel Peter and Wendy (1911), better known under its later shortened title Peter Pan. It first focuses on a brief biography of the author, then summarizes the individual film adaptations and the novel's position in the Czech context - it presents all Czech translations with regard to their relationship to the original text and covers reception, including translations into other art forms. The main part then analyses three films: Hook (1991), Wendy (2020) and Peter Pan and Wendy (2023), in regard to making thematic comparisons with the source text. The final part is devoted to specific didactic suggestions for the three films mentioned above, as well as to working with the novel itself

    Exploring lexical patterns in text : lexical cohesion analysis with WordNet

    No full text
    We present a system for the linguistic exploration and analysis of lexical cohesion in English texts. Using an electronic thesaurus-like resource, Princeton WordNet, and the Brown Corpus of English, we have implemented a process of annotating text with lexical chains and a graphical user interface for inspection of the annotated text. We describe the system and report on some sample linguistic analyses carried out using the combined thesaurus-corpus resource
