The goal of this study was to test the impact of this variation on tail function using multibody dynamic analysis (MDA). First, observations from dissections and 3D reconstructions generated from contrast- enhanced µCT-scans were used to document regional variation in arrangement of the caudal muscles along the antero-posterior axis.

  • Also Called Back-Derivation, Retrograde Derivation Or Deaffixation) Is Often Described As One of the Minor Word-Formation Processes
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by DSpace at University of West Bohemia 2013 ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CAROLINAE PAG. 31–60 PHILOLOGICA 3 / PRAGUE STUDIES IN ENGLISH XXVI BACK-FORMATION IN THE NEWEST LAYER OF ENGLISH VOCABULARY NADĚŽDA STAŠKOVÁ 1. Introduction Back-formation (also called back-derivation, retrograde derivation or deaffixation) is often described as one of the minor word-formation processes. It has a special position among the other types of word-formation for several reasons. Firstly, it is a process direc- tionally opposite in its character to the most frequent, and possibly most natural way of forming new words in English – affixation. In back-formation, instead of being added, an affix (or that part of the source word which is supposed to be an affix) is subtracted, which thus results in a shorter or morphologically less complex item of vocabulary. Comparison of the two processes is given in Table 1. The verb ovate (1988) represents the most typical and modern result of back-formation – it is a verb formed from an action noun and its meaning is “to give someone an ovation; applaud and cheer enthusiastically”. Table 1: Comparison of affixation and back-formation SOURCE WORD > RESULTING WORD AFFIXATION: translate > translation BACK-FORMATION: ovation > ovate Especially because of the opposite direction of creation, back-formation is often regard- ed as an unusual (or even unnatural) process, and new back-formed words are at their first occurrence frequently felt as weird, humorous or inacceptable. The truth is that some back-formations appear only as nonce words, sometimes deliberately coined by a speak- er for humorous, ironic, or otherwise idiosyncratic, purposes and do not have a long life.

  • Etymological Wordnet: Tracing the History of Words
    Etymological Wordnet: Tracing The History of Words Gerard de Melo IIIS, Tsinghua University Beijing, P.R. China [email protected] Abstract Research on the history of words has led to remarkable insights about language and also about the history of human civilization more generally. This paper presents the Etymological Wordnet, the first database that aims at making word origin information available as a large, machine-readable network of words in many languages. The information in this resource is obtained from Wiktionary. Extracting a network of etymological information from Wiktionary requires significant effort, as much of the etymological information is only given in prose. We rely on custom pattern matching techniques and mine a large network with over 500,000 word origin links as well as over 2 million derivational/compositional links. Keywords: etymology, historical linguistics, multilingual resources 1. Introduction 2.

    Queering Polyamory: Configurations, Public Policy, and Lived Experiences By Timothy Joseph Gardner A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Master of Science in Ethnic and Multi-cultural Studies College of Behavioral and Social Sciences Minnesota State University, Mankato Mankato, Minnesota May 2005 ii iii This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- NoDerivs License.

Timothy 2005 Queering Polyamory: Configurations, Public Policy, and Lived Experiences. M.S. thesis, Ethnic and Multi-cultural Studies, Minnesota State University, Mankato, 100 leaves. “Queering Polyamory: Configurations, Public Policy, and Lived Experiences” explores polyamory, a relationship “lovestyle” that involves more then one loving partner, while taking a close look at the social construction of modern day queer polyamory including marriage and sex law. The author states that queer polyamory is socially constructed due to its inclusion of self-identifying gay men, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, gender-variant, omnisexual, pansexual, and queer individuals. This thesis includes a study of participants involved in queer polyamorous relationships. The study concludes that a population that engages in queer polyamorous relationships is diverse in regards to demographics; this is to say state of residence, age, gender, ethnicity, religious/spiritual affiliation, sexual identity and/or orientation, and relationship identity and/or orientation and ways individuals come to be part of queer polyamorous relationships. The study looks at how “out” the participants are and how public policy is affecting the lives of those who engage in queer polyamorous relationships.

Yet, some species have a more terrestrial lifestyle, C.N.R.S/M.N.H.N, Paris, France such as Brookesia and Rieppeleon species, as well as some chameleons of the genera Correspondence Chamaeleo and Bradypodion. The main goal of this study was to identify the key ana- Allison M.

For this, a 3D-shape analysis was performed on vertebral morphology using Funding information μCT-images of different species of prehensile and nonprehensile tailed chameleons. Tournesol Mobility Grant; FWO, Grant/Award Number: #3G006716 A difference in overall tail size and caudal vertebral morphology does exist between prehensile and nonprehensile taxa. Nonprehensile tailed species have a shorter tail with fewer vertebrae, a generally shorter neural spine and shorter transverse pro- cesses that are positioned more anteriorly (with respect to the vertebral center). The longer tails of prehensile species have more vertebrae as well as an increased length of the processes, likely providing a greater area for muscle attachment.
