Download or read book Variation in English written by Douglas Biber and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies in Language and Linguistics General Editors- Geoffrey Leech, Department of Modern English Language, Lancaster University and Jenny Thomas, School of English and Linguistics, University of Wales, Bangor Broad-ranging and authoritative, Studies in Language and Linguistics is an occasional series incorporating major new work in all areas of linguistics. Variation in English- Multi-Dimensional Studies provides both a comprehensive view into a relatively new technique for studying language, and a diverse, exciting collection of studies of variation in English. The first part of the book provides an explanation of multi-dimensional (MD) analysis, a research technique for studying language variation. MD is a corpus-based approach developed by Doug Biber that facilitates large-scale studies of language variation and the investigation of research questions that were previously intractable. The second part of the book contains studies that apply Biber's original MD analysis of English to new domains. These studies cover the historical evolution of English; specialized domains such as medical writing and oral proficiency testing; and dialect variation, including gender and British/American. The third part of the book contains studies that conduct new MD analyses, covering adult/child language differences, 18th century speech and writing, and discourse complexity. Readers of this book will become familiar with the analytical techniques of multi-dimensional analysis, with its applicability to a wide variety of language issues, and with the findings of important studies previously published in diverse journals as well as new studies appearing for the first time.

Download or read book Improvisation and Composition in Balinese Gend r Wayang written by Nicholas Gray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an examination of the music of the Balinese gendér wayang, the quartet of metallophones - gendér - that accompanies the Balinese shadow puppet play - wayang kulit. The book focuses on processes of musical variation, the main means of creating new music in this genre, and the implications of these processes for the social and historical study of Balinese music, musical aesthetics, concepts of creativity and compositional methods. Dr Nick Gray tackles a number of core ethnomusicological concerns in a new way, including the relationship between composition and improvisation, and also highlights issues specific to Balinese music, including the importance of flexibility in performance, an aspect that has been largely ignored by scholars. Gray thus breaks new ground both in the study of issues relating to improvisation and composition and in Balinese music studies.
Download or read book Vivaldi written by Michael Talbot and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1978, the 300th anniversary of Vivaldi's death, there has been an explosion of serious writing about his music, life and times. Much of this has taken the form of articles published in academic journals or conference proceedings, some of which are not easy to obtain. The twenty-two articles selected by Michael Talbot for this volume form a representative selection of the best writing on Vivaldi from the last 30 years, featuring such major figures in Vivaldi research as Reinhard Strohm, Paul Everett, Gastone Vio and Federico Maria Sardelli. Aspects covered include biography, Venetian cultural history, manuscript studies, genre studies and musical analysis. The intention is to serve as a 'first port of call' for those wishing to learn more about Vivaldi or to refresh their existing knowledge. An introduction by Michael Talbot reviews the state of Vivaldi scholarship past and present and comments on the significance of the articles.
Download or read book Interspecific and Intraspecific Variation in Picea Engelmannii and Its Congeneric Cohorts written by G. E. Rehfeldt and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of common garden studies of 336 populations representing Picea engelmannii, P. pungens, P. glauca, P. mexicana, and P. chihuahuana provided as many as 13 growth and morphologic characters pertinent to biosystematics and genecology. Canonical discriminant analyses discretely segregated populations of P. pungens and P. chihuahuana while positioning P. engelmannii populations along a continuum anchored by Southwestern United States populations at one extreme and those classified as hybrids of P.engelmannii with P. glauca on the other. A population of P. mexicana was closely aligned with Southwest populations of P. engelmannii, while populations of P. glauca were intermixed with and peripheral to those identified as hybrid. While consistent with most taxonomic treatments of these taxa, the analyses nonetheless suggested that Southwestern United States populations should be considered as a variety of P. engelmannii that most likely should include P. mexicana. Genecological analyses detected ample genetic variation among the 295 populations in the P. engelmannii complex. The analyses demonstrated that populations were distributed along clines driven primarily by the winter temperature regime of the provenance. For northern populations, summer temperatures also became a key factor in accounting for genetic differences among populations. Analyses also detected clines for the 19 P. pungens and 23 P. glauca populations. An assessment of the effects of global warming according to the IS92a scenario of two general circulation models demonstrated for the current century: (1) an increasingly favorable climate for P. pungrens as its distribution moves upward in elevation throughout much of the Great Basin, Colorado Rockies, and mountain islands of the Southwest; (2) a widespread reduction in the areal extent of P. engelmannii in the inland Northwestern United States to the extent that Picea may become rare in the local flora; (3) extirpation of P. glauca from the Black Hills and Cypress Hills; and (4) a widespread redistribution of genotypes across the landscape as contemporary populations adjust genetically to change.
Download or read book Herbicides and Environment written by Andreas Kortekamp and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2011-01-08 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbicides are much more than just weed killers. They may exhibit beneficial or adverse effects on other organisms. Given their toxicological, environmental but also agricultural relevance, herbicides are an interesting field of activity not only for scientists working in the field of agriculture. It seems that the investigation of herbicide-induced effects on weeds, crop plants, ecosystems, microorganisms, and higher organism requires a multidisciplinary approach. Some important aspects regarding the multisided impacts of herbicides on the living world are highlighted in this book. I am sure that the readers will find a lot of helpful information, even if they are only slightly interested in the topic.

Download or read book Two Parameter Martingales and Their Quadratic Variation written by Peter Imkeller and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-11-15 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has two-fold aims. In a first part it gives an introductory, thorough and essentially self-contained treatment of the general theory of two-parameter processes that has developed since around 1975. Apart from two survey papers by Merzbach and Meyer it is the first text of this kind. The second part presents the results of recent research by the author on martingale theory and stochastic calculus for two-parameter processes. Both the results and the methods of these two chapters are almost entirely new, and are of particular interest. They provide the fundamentals of a general stochastic analysis of two-parameter processes including, in particular, so far inaccessible jump phenomena. The typical rader is assumed to have some basic knowledge of the general theory of one-parameter martingales. The book should be accessible to probabilistically interested mathematicians who a) wish to become acquainted with or have a complete treatment of the main features of the general theory of two-parameter processes and basics of their stochastic calculus, b) intend to learn about the most recent developments in this area.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Variations in testing that could lead to the rejection of a material fully conforming to specification requirements, or the acceptance of a material with undesirable chemical or physical properties, are apparent in the results reported by laboratories participating in comparative tests of portland cements.Many of the causes for variation in chemical analyses and physical test results are listed in this discussion, and remedies for some of the more frequently encountered deficiences in apparatus and methods are suggested.Particular consideration is given to problems which do not seem to have been covered in sufficient detail in previous discussions of cement testing procedures.Literature references are given for additional information.(Author).
Download or read book Morphosyntactic Variation in Medieval Celtic Languages written by Elliott Lash and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases the state of the art in the corpus-based linguistics of medieval Celtic languages. Its chapters detail theoretical advances in analysing variation/change in the Celtic languages and computational tools necessary to process/analyse the data. Many contributions situate the Celtic material in the broader field of corpus-based diachronic linguistics. The application of computational methods to Celtic languages is in its infancy and this book is a first in medieval Celtic Studies, which has mainly concentrated on philological endeavours such as editorial and literary work. The Celtic languages represent a new frontier in the development of NLP tools because they pose special challenges, like complicated inflectional morphology with non-straightforward mappings between lemmata and attested forms, irregular orthography, and consonant mutations. With so much data available in non-electronic form and ongoing efforts to convert these data to computer-readable format, there is much room for the developing/testing of new tools. This books provides an overview of this process at a crucial time in the development of the field and aims to the data accessible to computational linguists with an interest in diachronic change.
