    Native syntax and translation effects: adnominal arguments in the Greek and Latin New Testament

    No full text
    A comparative study of the syntax of adnominal arguments in the Greek original and in the Latin Vulgate translation of the Gospels shows that word order in this domain is strikingly parallel in the two languages. The fact that faithfulness in translating evidently extends to syntax, leveling Latin to the Greek model, must not lead to the conclusion that the language of the Latin translation is artificially shaped in conformity to the Greek; rather, it shows that Latin, at this diachronic stage, shared with New Testament Greek some significant parametric settings pertaining to nominal syntax

    A New Performance : Exploring the possibilities and difficulties related to the inclusion of the voice in violin playing

    No full text
    This thesis seeks to explore the many possibilities that lie within the incorporation of the voice alongside playing the violin. This territory is still very unknown, and the author believes that many new artistic possibilities and tools are yet to be discovered.The attempts made seek to understand the difficulties and limitations of the incorporation of the voice, while discovering its bountiful treasures."Terje Vigen" by Ivar BøksleArrangement by Olav Eirik LølandViolin and vocal - Olav Eirik LølandKonserten börjar efter två minuter.</p

    Seismic stratigraphy of the Eirik Drift, southern Greenland margin: tracking North Atlantic bottom water flow since the Eocene

    No full text
    Eirik Drift is a detached giant elongated drift which extends a total length of 360 km, located off the southern margin of Greenland, approximately 100 km south of Cape Farewell, Greenland in the North Atlantic Ocean. Eirik Drift is controlled by the influence of deep contour currents resulting from the movement of the deep Western Boundary Undercurrent (WBUC). The WBUC is a dominant constituent of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW), the lower limb of the global thermohaline circulation (THC) system, which transports sediments, nutrients, and temperature regimes across the Atlantic Ocean. Understanding the origins, distribution, and development of Eirik Drift is critical to reliably placing proxy data into a larger context of sedimentation, ocean circulation, global climate and using these histories as analogs of recent changes in global climate. This study examined the seismic stratigraphy of Eirik Drift using multi-channel seismic (MCS) profiles collected in the summer of 2002 during cruise KN166-14 of the R/V Knorr and tied it to the lithology, sedimentation rates, and downhole data of four Ocean Drilling sites: Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 105 Site 646, and International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition Sites U1305, U1306 and U1307. This analysis concludes that drift building began at 7.5 Ma and continues to the present. The drift’s morphology shows significant sedimentation and drift building occurred throughout the Pliocene, then slowed during the Pleistocene, as shown through mapped patterns of sediment accumulation in time and space. Over this time, the WBUC has migrated with varying intensity (i.e., modifications in velocity and/or and buoyancy relating to climate regimes), modifying the shape and distribution of the drift, due to measured changes in sediment supply, ocean circulation, and atmospheric conditions. This finding is consistent with other measurements and models of the history of WBUC and North Atlantic Ocean circulation and atmospheric conditions.M.S.Includes bibliographical reference

    Indo-European syntax and pragmatics: contrastive approaches

    No full text
    This volume presents papers from the International Workshop on Indo-European Syntax held at the University of Georgia in Athens,Georgia in May 2009. The workshop was a cooperative effort between the Pragmatic Resources in Old Indo-European Languages (PROIEL) project at the University of Oslo and the University of Georgia. The papers in the volume study the interaction between syntax and discourse structure in various old Indo-European languages, in most cases with an explicitly contrastive focus

    Tracking deep-water flow on Eirik drift over the past 160 kyr: linking deep-water changes to freshwater fluxes

    No full text
    This dissertation uses surface and deep ocean proxies to understand changes in North Atlantic deep-water production associated with periods of increased freshwater input throughout the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. Coring sites on Eirik Drift have long-term sedimentation rates exceeding 15 cm/kyr., allowing for paleoceanographic reconstructions on Milankovitch and millennial time scales. The transition from glacial North Atlantic Intermediate Water (gNAIW) of marine isotope chron (MIC) 2 to North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) during the Holocene is examined in Chapter 1. Early Holocene (9000-10,500 ka), sedimentation rates in core 21GGC (3471 m) are >100 cm/kyr., indicating gNAIW winnowed upstream glacial sediments, depositing at 21GGC. Enhanced sediment deposition persisted until ~9ka when long-term rates leveled off at 40 cm/kyr., indicating NADW density had stabilized. From 8.6 to 8.2 ka, catastrophic drainage of glacial Lake Agassiz poured freshwater into the North Atlantic disrupting deep-ocean circulation. Chapter 2 focuses on the past 160 kyr at Site 1306 (2272 m) on the Eirik Drift where highest sedimentation rates occurred during MIC 2- 5d. Mean sortable silt (SS) and ?18O of N. pachyderma (s) are inversely related during this interval, indicating that changes in surface conditions above the Eirik Drift are propagated into the deep ocean. During the past 40 kyr., SS decreases are concomitant with instances of surface ocean freshening. These intervals correlate with Heinrich Events, suggesting that massive ice flows released from the continents altered deep ocean circulation. The final chapter examines deep-ocean response during Terminations 1 and 2. Higher insolation forcing across Termination 2 is postulated to promote rapid melting of continental glaciers, leaving little opportunity for continental storage of freshwater. Conversely, lower insolation across Termination 1 allowed continental ice to linger, allowing for the routing and rapid release of freshwater creating abrupt climate reversals (H1, YD and 8.2 kyr Event). Deep-ocean circulation during MIC 5e loses buoyancy in a fashion similar to the Holocene; however, maximum flow velocities are curtailed for ~7 kyr after the onset of interglacial conditions. This lag is best explained by the melting of Greenland into areas of NCW convection due to increased insolation forcing.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references.by Samuel Straker Henderso
