Os processos de elisão e degeminação no português de São Tomé e Príncipe
Authors: Balduino Amanda Macedo , Bandeira Manuele , Freitas Shirley 
Published: December 2017

A República de São Tomé e Príncipe é um país multilíngue, onde são faladas línguas crioulas, como o lung’ie, o santome e o angolar, além do português, língua oficial desde 1975. Assume-se que o português santomense (PS) é caracterizado pela nativização de uma L2 (segunda língua) em uma L1 (primeira língua ou língua nativa). Dessa forma, adquirido em um primeiro momento como L2, o português é transmitido como input para as gerações mais novas, consolidando-se posteriormente como L1 (Gonçalves, 2010). Essa transição pode suscitar mudanças e adaptações estruturais que, em conjunto com o contexto de contínuo contato interlinguístico, despertam a possibilidade de afastamento do PS das demais variedades do idioma, nomeadamente o português europeu (PE) e o português brasileiro (PB). Baseado na análise de um corpus naturalístico, o objetivo deste estudo é verificar a existência dos processos de elisão e degeminação no PS e descrevê-los analiticamente. Em decorrência de uma limitação de dados, bem como por uma questão de recorte metodológico, não abarcaremos a ditongação, preferindo focar nos processos mencionados. O estudo dos dados demonstrou que ambos processos de fato ocorrem em PS. Em geral, a contraposição da análise dedicada ao PS com os resultados já obtidos para o PB indica que, ao mesmo tempo que tais variedades se aproximam, ao apresentarem contextos segmentais e suprassegmentais de aplicação semelhantes, o PS demonstra, também, características singulares.

Background and Purpose—
This study aimed to investigate whether pulse pressure (PP) obtained during the acute stage of ischemic stroke can be used as a predictor for future major vascular events.

Methods—
Using a multicenter prospective stroke registry database, patients who were hospitalized for ischemic stroke within 48 hours of onset were enrolled in this study. We analyzed blood pressure (BP) data measured during the first 3 days from onset. Primary and secondary outcomes were time to a composite of stroke recurrence, myocardial infarction, all-cause death, and time to stroke recurrence, respectively.

Results—

Of 9840 patients, 4.3% experienced stroke recurrence, 0.2% myocardial infarction, and 7.3% death during a 1-year follow-up period. In Cox proportional hazards models including both linear and quadratic terms of PP, PP had a nonlinear J-shaped relationship with primary (for a quadratic term of PP,
P
=0.004) and secondary (
P
<0.001) outcomes. The overall effects of PP and other BP parameters on primary and secondary outcomes were also significant (
P
<0.05). When predictive power of BP parameters was compared using a statistic of −2 log-likelihood differences, PP was a stronger predictor than systolic BP (8.49 versus 5.91; 6.32 versus 4.56), diastolic BP (11.42 versus 11.05; 10.07 versus 4.56), and mean atrial pressure (8.75 versus 5.91; 7.03 versus 4.56) for the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively.

Conclusions—
Our study shows that PP when measured in the acute period of ischemic stroke has nonlinear J-shaped relationships with major vascular events and stroke recurrence, and may have a stronger predictive power than other commonly used BP parameters.
A potential theory approach to an algorithm of conceptual space partitioning
Authors: Urban Roman , Grzelińska Magdalena 
Published: December 2017

A potential theory approach to an algorithm of conceptual space partitioningThis paper proposes a new classification algorithm for the partitioning of a conceptual space. All the algorithms which have been used until now have mostly been based on the theory of Voronoi diagrams. This paper proposes an approach based on potential theory, with the criteria for measuring similarities between objects in the conceptual space being based on the Newtonian potential function. The notion of a fuzzy prototype, which generalizes the previous definition of a prototype, is introduced. Furthermore, the necessary conditions that a natural concept must meet are discussed. Instead of convexity, as proposed by Gärdenfors, the notion of geodesically convex sets is used. Thus, if a concept corresponds to a set which is geodesically convex, it is a natural concept. This definition applies, for example, if the conceptual space is an Euclidean space. As a by-product of the construction of the algorithm, an extension of the conceptual space to d-dimensional Riemannian manifolds is obtained. Algorytm podziału przestrzeni konceptualnych przy użyciu teorii potencjałuW niniejszej pracy zaproponowany został nowy algorytm podziału przestrzeni konceptualnej. Dotąd podział taki zazwyczaj wykorzystywał teorię diagramów Voronoi. Nasze podejście do problemu oparte jest na teorii potencjału Miara podobieństwa pomiędzy elementami przestrzeni konceptualnej bazuje na Newtonowskiej funkcji potencjału. Definiujemy pojęcie rozmytego prototypu, który uogólnia dotychczas stosowane definicje prototypu. Ponadto zajmujemy się warunkiem koniecznym, który musi spełniać naturalny koncept. Zamiast wypukłości zaproponowanej przez Gärdenforsa, rozważamy linie geodezyjne w obszarze odpowiadającym danemu konceptowi naturalnemu, otrzymując warunek mówiący, że koncept jest konceptem naturalnym, jeżeli zbiór odpowiadający temu konceptowi jest geodezyjnie wypukły. Ta definicja pokrywa się w przypadku, gdy przestrzenią konceptualną jest przestrzeń euklidesowa. Jako produkt uboczny konstrukcji naszego algorytmu rozważamy dość ogólne przestrzenie konceptualne będące d-wymiarowymi rozmaitościami Reimanna.

LOVE in English and PolishThe paper presents a sample contrastive analysis of the linguistic picture of love in English and Polish. The material used in the survey is drawn from lexicographic data, including the British National Corpus and Narodowy Korpus Języka Polskiego [National Corpus of Polish]. The paper focuses on the similarities and differences in conceptualizing the abstract concept of love in the English and Polish languages. An analytical method, developed by Bartmiński and associates, serves as the theoretical basis for the reconstruction of the linguistic picture of the world.

On “The dictionary of active Polish and Ukrainian phraseology” [Leksykon aktywnej frazeologii polskiej i ukraińskiej]. Contrastive linguistics and culture

On The dictionary of active Polish and Ukrainian phraseology [Leksykon aktywnej frazeologii polskiej i ukraińskiej]. Contrastive linguistics and cultureThe Dictionary of Active Polish and Ukrainian Phraseology [Leksykon aktywnej frazeologii polskiej i ukraińskiej] is the first publication of its kind in the history of Polish and Ukrainian lexicography. It consists of equivalent phrasal units in Polish and Ukrainian. The innovative aspect of the lexicon is that it uses a semantic metalanguage to establish equivalent units. The authors developed a new method of searching for equivalent units which uses the meaning — not the form — as the starting point. This method enables the identification of equivalent units in both languages. Moreover, it enables the identification of units that do not have equivalents. The units which lack equivalents are usually deeply rooted in Poland’s or Ukraine’s historical and cultural context, and are thus defined as culturemes. Even though they lack equivalents, it was decided not to exclude them from the Leksykon’s structure, as they are actively used by the speakers of Polish and Ukrainian. This paper provides an overview of the Leksykon’s methodology and presents the authors’ definition of phraseologism. The most important points in the paper are illustrated with a number of example entries from the dictionary. The primary focus of the paper rests on phrasal units which lack equivalents. O Leksykonie aktywnej frazeologii polskiej i ukraińskiej. Konfrontacja językowa a kulturaOpracowywany przez nas Leksykon aktywnej frazeologii polskiej i ukraińskiej jest pierwszym dziełem tego typu w historii leksykografii polskiej i ukraińskiej. W leksykonie prezentujemy odpowiedniości jednostek frazeologicznych w języku polskim i ukraińskim za pomocą semantycznego języka pośrednika. Wyznaczenie kierunku od znaczenia ku formie pozwoliło dobrać ekwiwalenty jednostek frazeologicznych w obu językach. Zestawienie polskiego i ukraińskiego materiału pozwoliło również wyodrębnić poszczególne jednostki nieposiadające odpowiedników. Jednostki te są ściśle związane z kulturą i historią narodu polskiego i ukraińskiego. W związku z tym zaliczamy je do kulturemów, ale nie pomijamy w strukturze leksykonu ze względu na ich aktywność w mówionym języku współczesnym. W niniejszym artykule prezentujemy metodologię zastosowaną w leksykonie, definicję roboczą frazeologizmu w leksykonie, przykładowe hasła oraz skupiamy się na pokazaniu jednostek frazeologicznych nieposiadających pełnej odpowiedniości.
Kin term patterns and language familie
Authors: Pericliev Vladimir Borissov 
Published: December 2017

Kin term patterns and language familieThe anthropologist G. P. Murdock has found a strong correlation between the kin term patterns (or feature-values) for the relative (feature) “sibling” and language families. This important finding for language classification, however, has not been pursued further. In particular, it has not yet been tested whether the kin term patterns domain as a whole, including the patterns for other features (“grandparents”, “uncles”, “aunts”, “nephews and nieces”, etc.), is sufficient to demarcate all language families from one another. This paper presents a large-scale computational profiling of all language families in terms of their kin term patterns. The most significant findings are: (i) that language families can be quite neatly differentiated on the basis of their kin term patterns, and therefore these patterns may be considered as strong indicators of genetic affiliation, and (ii) that the kin term patterns for the features “nephews and nieces (= siblings' children)”, “siblings”, and “siblings-in-law” — i.e. all features including the idea of siblings — are the best predictors of genetic affiliation, as they are significantly more frequently used in the profiles than any other feature. Modele terminologii powinowactwa i pokrewieństwa a rodzina językowaAntropolog G. P. Murdock odkrył silny związek między modelami powinowactwa i pokrewieństwa dla krewnych (rodzeństwa) a rodzinami językowymi. To ważne odkrycie w klasyfikacji języków nie było odpowiednio dalej wykorzystywane. W szczególności nie sprawdzono jeszcze, czy domena modeli powinowactwa i pokrewieństwa jako całości, w tym modele dla innych cech („dziadkowie”, „wujkowie”, „ciotki”, „siostrzeńcy i siostrzenice” itp.) są wystarczająco ukształtowane we wszystkich rodzinach językowych. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono profilowanie komputerowe na dużą skalę wszystkich rodzin językowych pod kątem ich modeli powinowactwa i pokrewieństwa. Najważniejsze wnioski są następujące: (i) rodziny językowe mogą być zróżnicowane na podstawie modeli powinowactwa i pokrewieństwa, dlatego też te modele mogą być uważane za silne wskaźniki genetycznej przynależności, oraz (ii) modele dla cechy „siostrzeńcy i siostrzenice (= dzieci rodzeństwa)”, „rodzeństwo” i „rodzeństwo przyrodnie” - czyli wszystkie cechy, w tym rodzeństwa - są najlepszymi przesłankami genetycznej przynależności, ponieważ są znacznie częściej używane w profilach niż jakakolwiek inna funkcja.
La critique de cinéma comme activité rhétorique
Authors: Topa-Bryniarska Dominika 
Published: December 2017

Film review as a rhetorical activityThe paper discusses the discursive construction of persuasiveness in media language. Analysing the corpus consisting of eighty reviews of two French comedies “Intouchables” (2011) and “Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu?” (2014), several invariant characteristics of the genre `film review' are established in the light of its deliberative dimension which consists in using various discursive strategies of persuasion submitted to the phatic function based on the principle of movere and delectare. Since the mentioned strategies assume that the discourse aims at influencing the addressees' will and decisions, they reflect some of the persuasive techniques used in advertising discourse, especially with regard to rhetorical means of interpretation, suggestion and evaluation such as colloquial expressions, questions, directive speech acts, collocative pronouns and generic quantifiers. Thus, the issues addressed in the study concern a set of parameters governing the attractiveness of the message in order to reinforce or weaken the recipient's attitude towards the presented object. These parameters stem from shared values and convictions exploring automatic mental triggers connected with the peripheral route of persuasive influence. Recenzja filmowa jako działanie retoryczneCelem analizy jest przedstawienie dyskursywnego konstruowania perswazyjności w języku mediów. Na bazie korpusu składającego się z osiemdziesięciu recenzji dwóch francuskich komedii „Nietykalnych” (2011) i „Za jakie grzechy, dobry Boże?” (2014) omówiono kilka inwariantnych cech gatunku „recenzji filmowej”, przedstawionych w świetle jej deliberatywności, polegającej na użyciu różnorakich dyskursywnych strategii perswazyjnych, zależnych od fatycznej funkcji języka, działającej w oparciu o reguły movere i delectare. Ponieważ we wspomnianych strategiach zakłada się, że celem dyskursu jest wpływanie na wolę i decyzje odbiorcy, odzwierciedlają one niektóre z perswazyjnych technik dyskursu reklamowego, w szczególności te, które związane są z retorycznymi środkami interpretacji, sugestii i wartościowania jak wyrażenia potoczne, pytania, akty dyrektywne, zaimki kolektywne oraz kwantyfikatory ogólne. Z tego powodu, kwestie omawiane w niniejszej pracy dotyczą środków zawiadujących atrakcyjnością komunikatu, służącej wzmocnieniu lub osłabieniu opinii odbiorcy względem prezentowanego obiektu. Środki te wywodzą się z wartości i przekonań uznanych za wspólne, wykorzystując przy tym automatyczne psychologiczne mechanizmy, związane z argumentacją peryferyjnego toru perswazji.

A Spatial and Temporal Analysis of 30-Day Heavy Snowfall Amounts in the Eastern United States, 1900–2016
Authors: Changnon David 
Published: December 2017

AbstractHeavy 30-day snowfall amounts were evaluated to identify spatial and temporal characteristics east of the Rocky Mountains in the United States during the period 1900–2016. An extensive data assessment identified 507 stations for use in this long-term climate study. The top 30-day heavy snowfall amount and the average of the top five 30-day heavy snowfall amounts were examined. Both amounts generally increased with latitude; however, much higher amounts were found downwind of the Great Lakes, at higher elevations, or in locations impacted by topographic features (e.g., Rockies, Black Hills, and Appalachians). When compared with the 1981–2010 average winter snowfall, the top 30-day amount was found to be greater than the winter average in most areas of the eastern United States. The number of stations experiencing a top-five 30-day heavy snowfall period in a winter ranged from 1 to 128 (1959/60), with a greater overall occurrence in the second half of the 117-yr period. Six episodes had 10% or more stations experiencing one of the top five 30-day snowfall amounts, with the February–March 1960 episode impacting 124 stations, and these episodes were associated with large negative 500-hPa height anomalies. The northern Great Plains, Great Lakes, Midwest, and Northeast experienced more top-five periods in the second half of the 117-yr period, whereas most of the southern states experienced top-five periods throughout the study’s time frame. Examining extremes at periods beyond the daily event and less than the season contributes to our knowledge of climate and provides useful information to snow-sensitive sectors.
Hydroclimatology of the Missouri River Basin

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Despite the importance of the Missouri River for navigation, recreation, habitat, hydroelectric power, and agriculture, relatively little is known about the basic hydroclimatology of the Missouri River basin (MRB). This is of particular concern given the droughts and floods that have occurred over the past several decades and the potential future exacerbation of these extremes by climate change. Here, observed and modeled hydroclimatic data and estimated natural flow records in the MRB are used to 1) assess the major source regions of MRB flow, 2) describe the climatic controls on streamflow in the upper and lower basins , and 3) investigate trends over the instrumental period. Analyses indicate that 72% of MRB runoff is generated by the headwaters in the upper basin and by the lowest portion of the basin near the mouth. Spring precipitation and temperature and winter precipitation impacted by changes in zonal versus meridional flow from the Pacific Ocean play key roles in surface water supply variability in the upper basin. Lower basin flow is significantly correlated with precipitation in late spring and early summer, indicative of Atlantic-influenced circulation variability affecting the flow of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. Although increases in precipitation in the lower basin are currently overriding the effects of warming temperatures on total MRB flow, the upper basin’s long-term trend toward decreasing flows, reduction in snow versus rain fraction, and warming spring temperatures suggest that the upper basin may less often provide important flow supplements to the lower basin in the future.
Successful Prediction of a Left Nonrecurrent Laryngeal Nerve in a Patient With Right-Sided Aorta and Aberrant Left Subclavian Artery

Published: December 2017

Background: Left nonrecurrent laryngeal nerve (LNRLN) is an extremely rare anatomic variant. The development of such anatomic variation requires the regression of both the fourth (aortic arch) and sixth (ductus arteriosus, DA) arches on the left side. Preoperative prediction of this variant is difficult but might reduce risk of nerve injury. Methods: A 34-year-old female was indicated for thyroidectomy for a 2.4 cm follicular neoplasm and Graves’ disease. Due to a positive medical history of 22q11.2 microdeletion and unexplained left vocal cord paralysis, a preoperative chest computed tomography (CT) scan was obtained and revealed a right-sided aorta (RSA) and aberrant left subclavian artery (ALSA) without Kommerell’s diverticulum. A left-sided NRLN was then highly suspected. Results: Thyroidectomy was performed under general anesthesia with the utilization of intraoperative laryngeal nerve monitoring. A LNRLN was confirmed intraoperatively. Conclusions: Right-sided aorta and ALSA indicate embryologic regression of the left fourth primitive aortic arch. The absence of Kommerell’s diverticulum at the origin of the ALSA indicates the lack of high-pressure blood flow from the pulmonary artery to the ALSA through the ductus arteriosus during embryogenesis, suggesting the embryologic regression of the left sixth primitive aortic arch. The presence of all 3 radiologic features thus highly suggests the possibility of a LNRLN.

Published: December 2017

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the auditory feedback mechanisms and voice quality during phonation in response to a spontaneous pitch change in the auditory feedback. Does the pitch shift reflex (PSR) change voice pitch and voice quality? Quantitative and qualitative voice characteristics were analyzed during the PSR. Method: Twenty-eight healthy subjects underwent transnasal high-speed video endoscopy (HSV) at 8000 fps during sustained phonation [a]. While phonating, the subjects heard their sound pitched up for 700 cents (interval of a fifth), lasting 300 milliseconds in their auditory feedback. The electroencephalography (EEG), acoustic voice signal, electroglottography (EGG), and high-speed-videoendoscopy (HSV) were analyzed to compare feedback mechanisms for the pitched and unpitched condition of the phonation paradigm statistically. Furthermore, quantitative and qualitative voice characteristics were analyzed. Results: The PSR was successfully detected within all signals of the experimental tools (EEG, EGG, acoustic voice signal, HSV). A significant increase of the perturbation measures and an increase of the values of the acoustic parameters during the PSR were observed, especially for the audio signal. Conclusions: The auditory feedback mechanism seems not only to control for voice pitch but also for voice quality aspects.
