Word Prominence in Languages with Complex Morphologies
Author: Ksenia Bogomolets
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198840586
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 721
Book Description
This volume focuses on the theoretical and analytical challenges that languages with complex morphologies pose for the theory and typology of word-level prosodic phenomena. The morphological complexity and phonological length that are characteristic of words in these languages make them a particularly fruitful ground for investigating the effects of both phonological and morphological factors in the assignment of prominence. The first three chapters in the volume explore general theoretical issues pertaining to word prominence in synthetic languages, including the issue of 'wordhood' and the empirical, theoretical, and methodological issues with delineating word-level prominence and the higher-level prosodic phenomena in these languages. These are followed by a series of case studies on stress, accent, and tone in a geographically and genetically diverse set of languages with highly synthetic morphologies including languages of the Americas, Europe and Asia, and Australia. The volume adopts an interdisciplinary perspective, combining phonetic, phonological, and morphosyntactic insights. It will be of interest not only to phonologists and morphologists, but to all those interested in the typological and theoretical issues relating to polysynthetic languages.

Road to Fargo 2nd edition
Author: J P Ronan
Publisher: J P Ronan
ISBN: 1419663151
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
The old west was a collection of large territories that spread from the Missouri River west to the Pacific Ocean, north to Canada, and south to Mexico. The only civil law enforcement personnel permitted to cross these boundaries was the U. S. Federal Marshall. The more successful marshal’s ranged over the wider regions of jurisdiction. Following the worst of the outlaws to greater lengths became the hallmark of the best marshals of the U.S. territories. These premiere law officers had to be more capable on horse back, better at navigating the open range, intimate with the tribal etiquette of the many indigenous nations, and capable of dispensing justice with a hand gun. The mature federal marshal had to survive many gunfights, apprehend numerous badmen, and adjudicate crimes where courts could not be reached. Here we find such a marshal upon an especially long hard trail pursuing one of the deadliest villains ever to pass out of Texas. We share the hunt and the many experiences of the officer along the track to justice. Heroines, scalawags, small town officials arise and bring alive tales of the old west that may well have been true.

Book Description
This Index contains literature references to -- 10,000 research papers on physical properties of metals and alloys. The Index contains all NMR Knight shift papers and soft x-ray emission papers. It also contains many soft x-ray absorption papers and a number of papers on generally related topics such as susceptibilities, specific heats, hyperfine fields, and band structures. The papers are annotated in depth and the coded information put onto a magnetic tape. The Permuted Materials Index was created from this tape, listing alloys under each of their constituent components (i.e., CuNi appears under CuNi and under NiCu alloys).
