DIFFUSE XANTHOGRANULOMATOUS PYELONEPHRITIS OCCURRING IN A NON-FUNCTIONAL KIDNEY - A REPORT OF TWO CASES
Authors: Permi Harish S. , P. Rajeev T. , Ravinder Prajwal , N. Sajitha , Hegde Panna 
Published: March 2020

AbstractXanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis is a rare debilitating illness resulting in focal or diffuse renal destruction. It is characterized pathologically by lipid-laden foamy macrophages which share many characteristics with true renal neoplasm in terms of its radiographic appearance and ability to involve adjacent structures or organs. It affects non-functioning kidney and is often associated with urinary tract obstruction, infection, nephrolithiasis, diabetes, and immunocompromised state. The treatment is almost universally extirpative and can pose a formidable challenge to the surgeon. We report two cases of diffuse Xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis occurring in a non-functioning kidney of 38 year old diabetic male and 51 year old male with renal calculus.
SCROTAL CALCINOSIS - RARE CASE REPORTS OF TWO CASES
Authors: Permi Harish S. , Shetty Rohan , Alva Shalmali , Shetty Balakrishna , Ballal Rajesh , K. Jayaprakash Shetty 
Published: March 2020

AbstractScrotal calcinosis is a benign disease characterized by multiple calcified scrotal nodules. The nodules develop slowly over many years and patients usually do not seek for treatment, until they grow to large size. Histopathological examination shows deposition of basophilic amorphous material surrounded by giant cell granulomatous reaction. We report two cases of scrotal calcinosis occurring in 27 year and 45 year old males who presented with multiple scrotal swellings. Clinical diagnosis was multiple sebaceous cysts. On histopathology, excised swellings showed deposition of calcium with giant cell reaction. On regular follow up both are doing fine without any recurrence.
PROVISIONAL RESTORATIONS IN PROSTHODONTIC REHABILITATIONS - CONCEPTS, MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES
Authors: D. Krishna Prasad , Shetty Manoj , Alva Harshitha , D. Anupama Prasad 
Published: March 2020

AbstractProvisional restorations in fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation are important treatment procedures, particularly if the restorations are expected to function for extended periods of time or when additional therapy is required before completion of the rehabilitation. These materials should not only satisfy the mechanical requirements such as strength and resistance to wear but also meet the biologic and esthetic demands. The prognosis of a fixed restoration greatly depends on this interim restoration. This article describes the various materials used for these provisionals and also the techniques used to fabricate them along with their advantages and disadvantages.
‘Body’ and the relationship between verb and participants
Authors: Frajzyngier Zygmunt 
Published: March 2020

Abstract

Heine and Kuteva (2004) list ‘reflexive’, ‘middle’, and ‘reciprocal’ as functions grammaticalized from the noun ‘body’ across languages. The present study, based on data from Pero (West Chadic), demonstrates the grammaticalization of one additional function, namely that of indicating that the object of the verb does not undergo a change in form, place, existential status (emergence or disappearance), or internal state. Most of the natural data indicates that the object in question is either a human or a story character with human attributes. The existence of this function in turn allows us to explain when third person object pronouns are used in Pero and when they are not used. The use of object pronouns is the outcome of the coding of semantic relations between the verbal predicate and arguments.
The conceptualization of ido ‘eye’ in Hausa
Authors: Shehu Ahmadu 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
The human body has been found to be an extremely productive source domain for the expression of various linguistic concepts in diverse languages and cultures of the world. Although previous research on many languages shows that the eyes are one of those body parts terms that are frequently used as a source domain for the conceptualization of other abstract domains, the Hausa ido is yet to be studied from the cognitive perspective. Based on the cognitive linguistics framework, this paper analyzes the conceptualization of the Hausa ido ‘eye’ and its extension into various target domains, as well as the metaphors and metonymies used in these conceptualizations. The data for this study was collected from a mini-corpus (Will, 2005) and Hausa dictionaries, from which over 150 expressions involving the term ido ‘eye’ were elicited and analyzed. Based on the usage, the term ido was found to be extensively used in various domains including sight, knowledge, attention, decision-making, emotions, character traits, and so on.
The moral taste of food
Authors: Drescher Martina 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
This paper analyses discussions about vegetarianism and
veganism in francophone social media groups where moral statements
play an important role. It sketches a communicative conception of
morality as ‘doing ethics’ that zooms in on how
morality emerges and is negotiated in interaction by concentrating
on linguistic practices that key morality. Based on two case
studies, it examines controversies about moral values of food which
offer insights in the more general machinery of moral discourse. The
data reveal different linguistic techniques which are frequent in,
although not specific to, moral discourse. In particular, these are
evaluations, pejorative or upgrading lexicon, deontic modality,
generalisations, typical speech acts like advice or instruction as
well as semantic and structural forms of intensification.
Language in transnational communities of consumption
Authors: Schneider Britta 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
In this chapter, I discuss ethnographic and interview data
on language ideologies regarding English in a transnational cultural
setting that is based on the production and consumption of specialty
coffee. In the terminology of the setting, the community is referred
to as Third Wave Coffee Culture and the chapter
introduces its history and cultural ideologies before analyzing
language-related data from its localization in Berlin. Main results
are that in this specific setting, English indexes belonging to the
cultural community of Third Wave Coffee Culture, irrespective of the
national background of speakers, which is tied to the construction
of transnational (post-)class positioning. The study overall
emphasizes the relevance of studying language use in communities
based on consumption in late capitalism.
(Un)healthy food discourses
Authors: Declercq Jana 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
This chapter addresses the central role of health in food
discourses and identities as emerging during the production of a TV
show about food. Food fulfils a range of socio-cultural functions
which are essential for the construction of national, regional,
ethical, gender, health, and many more identities. This chapter
focuses on the dimension of health, as this becomes increasingly
important in eating discourses because of the current moral
imperative to live a healthy life and take individual
responsibility. The analysis shows, however, that health-oriented
identities and discourses are in conflict with other food discourses
and identities, such as being a food lover or a sociable person who
is not preachy about eating. In sum, talking about food must be
understood as a multi-dimensional, often contradictory
socio-cultural practice.
Dinner for One
Authors: Rüdiger Sofia 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
In this chapter, I investigate discursive practices in
eating shows, so-called Mukbang, on YouTube.
Originally a South Korean phenomenon, the object of this study are
the globalized, Anglophone, and asynchronous instantiations of these
shows. Based on a corpus of English-language eating shows, I
demonstrate how the Mukbang performers construct their discourse as
a conversation over food which resembles but is also different from
traditional face-to-face dinner/lunch conversations. In order to do
so, the YouTubers draw on a range of linguistic strategies, such as
imperatives, questions, terms of address and nicknames, pronouns,
topical choices, and the characteristics of delayed interaction.
“Tell me about food and I tell you who you are”
Authors: Diemer Stefan , Brunner Marie-Louise 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
The paper presents the construction of two types of expert
identity in conversations about food: cultural expertise and
culinary expertise. The study is based on data from a corpus of
informal dyadic conversations between international speakers of
English as a Lingua Franca via Skype. Both cultural and culinary
expertise are established and negotiated in a broader identity
context. The study shows that the discursive construction of expert
identity is a complex dynamic phenomenon that takes place on
multiple levels, ranging from lexical choice and the organization of
discourse to the employment of pragmatic strategies and negotiation
processes. The paper illustrates the key role food plays in identity
creation in an online video-mediated setting.
Formality and informality in cooking shows
Authors: Mühleisen Susanne 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
Televised cooking shows have emerged as a genre with an
established format in the entertainment industry. This chapter will
look at cooking shows as a communicative event with a predictable
sequence of acts and a set overt (instruction) and covert
(entertainment) goal. This highly focussed and
potentially formal communicative event (Irvine 1979) typically relies on
strategies of informality, that by now have become a convention of
the genre, in order to distract from its directive ‘lesson’
character. In a comparison of several cooking shows by US Southern celebrity
chef Paula Deen, I will pay attention to changes in conventions of
formality and informality which can be observed over time.
Particular emphasis will also be placed on the linguistic features
which are indexical to Paula Deen’s US Southern persona.
Naming practices in Singapore’s hawker centres
Authors: Leimgruber Jakob R.E. 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
A hawker is an itinerant salesperson, formerly typically
ubiquitous in most urban environments. Despite the popular and
useful services they provide, they are often viewed with suspicion.
Starting in the 1960s, the government of Singapore has begun to
sedentarise the trade into purpose-built ‘hawker centres’ that house
individual stalls of foods in a covered area fitted with electrical,
gas, and water connections as well as seating space and sanitary
facilities. This food hygiene drive has resulted in a permanent
immobilisation of the hawker trade. This chapter considers the
naming practices of 211 hawker stalls in four centres to reveal
patterns (in the use of languages, scripts, and geographical
references) that challenge the imposed immobility and evoke memories
of actual hawking.
Naming food in English in multilingual Cameroon
Authors: Anchimbe Eric A. 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
Naming food in a nativised variety of English in a
densely multilingual context like Cameroon is a complex phenomenon.
This is because certain foods or dishes carry sociocultural
significations that may be lost or altered if their original names
are translated or abandoned for others. Using data from the food
blog <www.preciouscore.com>, this paper explains the word
formation processes used and the social meanings embedded in food
names in Cameroon English (CamE). Borrowing and compounding emerge
as the most common processes, although there are a few cases of
metaphorical extension. The data is analysed using the competition
and selection hypothesis (Mufwene 2001) and the framework of filtration processes
(Anchimbe 2006),
both anchored in the World Englishes paradigm.
An early start in primary EFL education and the role of teacher qualification and teaching quality
Authors: Wilden Eva , Porsch Raphaela , Schurig Michael 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
This study investigates the receptive L2 proficiency of early and late starters in primary EFL education in the
German context. Thus, the L2 reading and listening proficiency of primary EFL learners was assessed at the end of primary
schooling in year 4 in two German federal states with different ages of onset. A special focus of the study is on indicators of
teaching quality as well as teacher qualification. The study did not find significant differences in the receptive L2 proficiency
between early starters and late startes. When controlling for teaching quality or teacher qualification the earlier age of onset
or increased amount of exposure did not explain variance in learners’ receptive EFL skills. However, supportive climate as an
aspect of teaching quality correlates positively and significantly with learners’ EFL proficiency. In addition, there is a small
advantage for children taught by teachers with a major in EFL.
Collaborative writing and feedback
Authors: Luquin María , García Mayo María del Pilar 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
Research on collaborative writing and models as a form of written corrective feedback has been conducted with
adult participants but research with children is scarce despite the growth of early EFL learning in school settings in the past
twenty years. The aim of the present exploratory study was to analyze what EFL primary school children noticed and incorporated
during a three-stage task and completed in collaboration. The participants were 12 children (11–12 years old) divided into a
treatment group, which received a model, and a control group, which self-edited their texts. The findings showed that what
children noticed at Stage 1 were mostly grammar LREs, whereas at Stage 2 both groups focused most of their attention on content
and lexical LREs, with statistically significant differences between the treatment group and the control group. Significant
differences were also found between Stage 1 and 3 regarding lexical LREs in the treatment group. Pedagogical recommendations will
also be discussed in light of these findings.
Child EFL learners’ attitudes towards a collaborative writing task
Authors: Calzada Asier , García Mayo María del Pilar 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
The way learners engage with tasks can crucially impact on learning opportunities and, therefore, more attention
is now being devoted to task affect. This study examines the attitudes of an underresearched population, child EFL learners,
towards a collaborative dictogloss task. Thirty-two Spanish EFL children (ages 11–12) completed the task in pairs and small groups
at their school, and an attitude questionnaire one week after. Results show that learners had a positive attitude towards L1 and
L2 writing, collaboration in the classroom, and the task itself, regardless of their grouping condition. Although these children
did not mention in their responses any explicit grammar gains as a result of the task, they considered the blend of the written
and oral mode and the opportunities for peer assistance to be beneficial. These results are encouraging for the promotion of
collaborative writing tasks with young learners in communicative contexts.
Genitive (smixut) constructions in Modern Hebrew
Authors: Berman Ruth A. 
Published: March 2020

The chapter concerns the morpho-syntactic structure and usage-based properties
of MH constructions involving two nominal constituents, an initial head and following
modifier. Focus is on the three smixut ‘adjacency’ or ‘dependency’
constructions: (i) “construct-state” compounds in the form N^ N(P), where a caret indicates
the relation between an initial bound head N and its free-form modifier; (ii) free, analytic
N(P) šel (N)P constructions with the genitive marker šel
‘of’; and (iii) doubly marked N1pro2

šel N2 genitives. Usage-based analyses of alternations between
these three options for expressing possession and other genitive relations reveal
conflicting results, leading to the conclusion that text-type (genre, medium of expression,
level of usage, and communicative setting) plays a major role in choice of construction.
The chapter also considers two other binominal constructions – construct-state Adj^ Noun and
Noun + Denominal Adjective phrases – and concludes by noting more general properties of
Modern Hebrew reflected in current use of these constructions.1
Spelling normalisation of Late Modern English
Authors: Schneider Gerold 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
To be able to profit from natural language
processing (NLP) tools for analysing historical text, an important
step is spelling normalisation. We first compare and second combine
two different approaches: on the one hand VARD, a rule-based system
which is based on dictionary lookup and rules with non-probabilistic
but trainable weights; on the other hand a language-independent
approach to spelling normalisation based on statistical machine
translation (SMT) techniques. The rule-based system reaches the best
accuracy, up to 94% precision at 74% recall, while the SMT system
improves each tested period. We obtain the best system by combining
both approaches. Re-training VARD on specific time-periods and
domains is beneficial, and both systems benefit from a language
sequence model using collocation strength.
A far from simple matter revisited
Authors: Brinton Laurel J. , Inoue Tohru 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
In Present-day English far from
belongs to a class of constructions (close to, near to, next
to) which have undergone grammaticalization and/or
constructionalization. The present corpus-based, diachronic study
shows that the development of far from appears to
be a clear case of grammaticalization, with quite significant
changes in the Late Modern English period, including the extension
of the downtoner to attributive contexts and the development of the
emphasizer function. More importantly, the claim that “a well-known
trajectory” (Méndez-Naya
2008a: 215) is from degree adjunct to degree modifier is
not borne out in this case. What we see here is a change from degree
modifier to degree adjunct, a change consistent with Athanasiadou’s (2007)
argument for an increase in subjectivity from degree modifier to
emphasizer.
Being Wilde
Authors: Nevala Minna , Nurmi Arja 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
This article focuses on the news reporting on
Oscar Wilde during the 1895 trials in which he was accused of sodomy
and gross indecency. We discuss the positive and negative labelling
associated with Wilde during and after the trials. Our data are
drawn from the British Library Newspapers,
consisting of over 1,500 articles from a variety of both rural and
metropolitan British newspapers. Our results demonstrate that during
the course of the trials, the reference to Wilde shows not only
variation, but also change: his public persona changes from a
well-known author to an accused criminal.
“I am desired (…) to desire”
Authors: Włodarczyk Matylda 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
Historical pragmatic analyses have underlined
the discourse dependence and pragmatic sensitivity of speech acts.
As a result, researchers’ attention has shifted from form, structure
and tokenisation of utterances to interactive frameworks. This paper
follows suit and argues that speech acts in historical
correspondence – in this paper, the letters of the British Colonial
Office on the Cape Colony – bear a close resemblance to speech
events, interactional moves or speech actions. It presents a
qualitative approach to speech act identification and classification
that relies on the routines of power and the notion of macro-speech
act. In the process of speech act identification, co-textual
features and outcomes (perlocutionary effects) serve as crucial
reference points. The findings confirm the significance of the
status differentials for an early nineteenth-century specialised
discourse domain of institutional correspondence.
Nominalization in Shawi/Chayahuita
Authors: Rojas-Berscia Luis Miguel 
Published: March 2020

This paper deals with the Shawi nominalizing suffixes -su’~-ru’~-nu’ ‘general nominalizer’, -napi/-te’/-tun‘performer/agent nominalizer’, -pi’‘patient nominalizer’, and -nan ‘instrument nominalizer’. The goal of this article is to provide a description of nominalization in Shawi. Throughout this paper I apply the Generalized Scale Model (GSM) (Malchukov, 2006) to Shawi verbal nominalizations, with the intention of presenting a formal representation that will provide a basis for future areal and typological studies of nominalization. In addition, I dialogue with Shibatani’s model to see how the loss or gain of categories correlates with the lexical or grammatical nature of nominalizations. strong nominalization in Shawi correlates with lexical nominalization, whereas weak nominalizations correlate with grammatical nominalization. A typology which takes into account the productivity of the nominalizers is also discussed.
Particle production via strings and baryon stopping within a hadronic transport approach
Authors: Mohs J , Ryu S , Elfner H 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
The stopping of baryons in heavy ion collisions at beam momenta of p
lab = 20–160A GeV is lacking a quantitative description within theoretical calculations. Heavy ion reactions at these energies are experimentally explored at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and will be studied at future facilities such as FAIR and NICA. Since the net baryon density is determined by the amount of stopping, this is the pre-requisite for any investigation of other observables related to structures in the QCD phase diagram such as a first-order phase transition or a critical endpoint. In this work we employ a string model for treating hadron–hadron interactions within a hadronic transport approach (SMASH, Simulating Many Accelerated Strongly-interacting Hadrons). Free parameters of the string excitation and decay are tuned to match experimental measurements in elementary proton–proton collisions, where some mismatch in the x

F
distribution of protons is still present. Afterwards, the model is applied to heavy ion collisions, where the experimentally observed change of the shape of the proton rapidity spectrum from a single peak structure to a double peak structure with increasing beam energy is reproduced. Heavy ion collisions provide the opportunity to study the formation process of string fragments in terms of formation times and reduced interaction cross-sections for pre-formed hadrons. A good agreement with the measured rapidity spectra of protons and pions is achieved while insights on the fragmentation process are obtained. In the future, the presented approach can be used to create event-by-event initial conditions for hybrid calculations.
