A cultural linguistic study of embodied Hungarian proverbs representing facial hair
Authors: Kóczy Judit Baranyiné 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
This chapter offers a Cultural Linguistic analysis of the conceptualisations of beard and moustache in
Hungarian proverbs. While facial hair is an underexploited field in paremiology, the chapter argues that it is an appropriate
concept for capturing the cultural aspects of the figurative language collections of proverbs. The study analyses 31 proverbs selected from five
collections, where the identification process of cultural conceptualisations involves conceptual analysis combined with drawing on
other linguistic evidence and culturally relevant ethnographic data. The results show that the seven target concepts
(personality, manliness, independence, patriotism, age, dignity, and
wisdom) are interconnected in the Hungarian cultural model of man, and moustache has a dominance and more
positive value in cultural cognition as compared to beard. The study shows how the theoretical framework and methodological
tools of Cultural Linguistics can be used in studying the cultural elements of proverbs and how they can enhance the understanding of
their linkage to cultural models.
“We are in the same storm, not in the same boat”
Authors: Augé Anaïs 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The chapter proposes to investigate the implications of the proverbial phrase to be in the same boat in
international debates about climate change. The study exposes the endorsed or disputed uses of the proverb. I analyse its exploitation
by different discourse producers who convey different opinions. The data are extracted from various texts and speeches produced (or
translated) in English. This research illustrates how the proverb can be exploited to fit different cultural traditions and different
environmental concerns. The aim of the chapter is to identify the different arguments promoted by the use of the proverb. It also
highlights the aspects of the proverb that may not correspond to the reality of climate change. This gives rise to argumentative
exploitations using related metaphorical expressions. With reliance on cognitive metaphor theories (Lakoff 1993, 2004, 2010), and on
metaphor scenarios in particular (Musolff 2004, 2016, 2019a), the occurrences discussed below demonstrate how the metaphorical
image of the earth is a container has been challenged through the depiction of the earth is a boat. Indeed, the
source concept boat comprises particular characteristics that can cause division among discourse producers to the extent that
climate change debates may revolve around the use and misuse of the proverb. The chapter demonstrates that the proverbial phrase
to be in the same boat involves precarious implications in environmental discourse.
Multilingualism, creativity, and problem-solving
Authors: Chung-Fat-Yim Ashley , Fernandez-Duque Matias , Marian Viorica 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The chapter considers how language sparks discovery and innovation by examining creativity and
problem-solving through the unique vantage point of multilingualism. The chapter begins with an overview of how
creativity and problem-solving are operationalized and measured, followed by a review of how multilingualism impacts
the ability to innovate and solve problems. The relationship between multilingualism and creativity is modulated by
proficiency and age of second language acquisition. Similarly, performance on problem-solving tasks depends on which
language multilinguals use and on their proficiency level in each language. The final section discusses
multilingualism, creativity, and problem-solving in real-world settings, as well as potential future directions,
concluding with the suggestion that knowing multiple languages can lead to more creative outcomes and better
problem-solving skills.
The Literacy Enhancement Hypothesis in bilingual language development
Authors: Montrul Silvina , Armstrong Andrew 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The Literacy Enhancement Hypothesis states that the development of literacy skills and exposure to
textual input during the school-age period leads to more robust linguistic representations of morphosyntactic
structures that strengthen psycholinguistic processing mechanisms such as working memory. This chapter reviews general
psycholinguistic findings that support the impact of written language on language development and entrenchment in
different grammatical areas and discusses results of current studies of morphosyntactic aspects of Spanish designed to
test the literacy enhancement hypothesis with bilingual school-aged children. The findings suggest that print exposure
in the heritage language contributes to strengthen and maintain early acquired linguistic structures that form the
basis for the development of more complex syntax in Spanish. These results have implications for effective assessment,
instruction, and intervention strategies to promote robust language and literacy skills and academic success in
bilingual children.
Approaching Developmental Language Disorder from a Disorder within Dialects framework
Authors: Oetting Janna 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Disorder within Dialects is a new framework that has helped guide a series of studies on childhood
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) within African American English (AAE) and Southern White American English
(SWAE), two dialects spoken in the southern region of the United States. In this chapter, I review the basic tenets of
the Disorder with Dialects framework, contrasting it with the traditional Dialect vs. Disorder framework. Then,
focusing on children’s use of finite markers within AAE and SWAE and using data from several published studies, I
demonstrate how dialect-informed materials and strategic scoring systems can be used to identify children with DLD
within these dialects and perhaps within other linguistic varieties spoken in the United States and elsewhere.
Multilingual data coding and analysis within Phon
Authors: Rose Yvan 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Research on multilingualism or based on multilingual speech data poses unique methodological
issues, for example concerning the annotation of language-specific phenomena within data records involving multiple
languages and/or speakers. To support this type of research, how can one build a unique corpus of data that can be
analyzed either as a whole or on a language-by-language basis? The Phon software program provides a number of
solutions to address such challenges. This paper demonstrates how to build and analyze data transcripts in ways that
make possible both language-general measures of speech as well as language-specific ones.
Towards an ecosystemic view of bilingual phonological development
Authors: Sabah Meziane Rabia , Bérubé Daniel , MacLeod Andrea A. N. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
An ecosystemic framework was used to explore how external factors, including the macrosystem,
exosystem and microsystem, and internal factors impact bilingual phonological development in the case of three
simultaneous bilingual preschool-aged children who spoke French and either Arabic, English, or Tagalog. Regarding
internal factors, the three children showed age-appropriate phonology and vocabulary. For external factors, all
children lived in a sociolinguistic context where French was the majority language. English brought several
sociolinguistic advantages and opportunities for exposure and use in the communities, compared to Arabic and Tagalog,
which had minoritized language status. We consider that an ecosystemic framework accounts for a continuum of bilingual
phonology acquisition that includes both child internal and external factors.
Phonological features and phonetic variation in multilingual grammars
Authors: Archibald John 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Drawing on Archibald (2022a, b), the chapter shows how a contrastive hierarchy model of segmental phonology can provide
formal model of determining cross-linguistic similarity. Looking primarily at Arabic-French learners of English, the
L1 and L2 features (including the markedness value of the feature) and the rankings influence L3
acquisition. Neurolinguistic and sociolinguistic evidence for the differential behaviour of marked versus unmarked
values are discussed, and then it is shown how this variation can act as a cue for the learner to discover the L3
grammatical hierarchy. The author explores a theory of L3 restructuring based on principles of merger, redeployment,
and triggering. Ultimately, it is argued that the learner compares the L1 and L2 contrastive hierarchy parses of the
L3 input and chooses the one which is optimal for the L3 grammar.
Bilinguals’ lexical choice in storytelling
Authors: Nicoladis Elena 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In experimental tasks, bilinguals often have greater difficulty accessing words than monolinguals
and greater difficulty in their weaker language than their stronger language, consistent with the weaker-links
hypothesis (Gollan et al., 2011). The purpose of the present research is to
test whether bilinguals show similar lexical access difficulties in a more ecologically valid context: storytelling.
Participants watched a cartoon and told the story back. We coded their every word for corpus frequency. In Study 1, we
compared bilinguals with monolinguals. In Study 2, we compared Spanish-English bilinguals with English-Spanish
bilinguals. Some of the results were consistent with the weaker-links hypothesis. However, the differences were small.
These results raise the possibility that bilinguals have little lexical access difficulty while telling stories.
Morphological awareness in L2 Italian children with a migrant background
Authors: Melloni Chiara , Vender Maria 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Research on morphological awareness in bilingual children has generated conflicting evidence, with
studies reporting bilingual gains and others finding poorer performance relative to monolinguals. In this study, we
explored further this issue by testing 54 school-aged children speaking Italian as an L2 on a broad domain of
morphology and by means of nonword tasks, with the aim to reduce potential vocabulary effects on morphological
abilities. One group of monolingual Italian-speaking children and two groups of bilingual L2 Italian children (with
Romanian and Albanian as L1s) took part in the experiment. Results evidenced similar performances in most tasks, but
limited underachievement was found in bilinguals, especially in the Albanian-Italian speaking children. This bilingual
gap can be explained by the genealogical and typological distance between the L1 and the target language. Crucially,
it disappears once vocabulary and exposure factors are taken into account.
On the nature of operators in the grammar of L1 Chinese learners of L2 Japanese
Authors: Miyamoto Yoichi , Otaki Koichi , Nakamura Chie , Yusa Noriaki 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Under the current generative framework (Chomsky, 1993,
1995), this paper examined the acquisition of wh-questions and
conditional sentences in the L2 Japanese grammar of L1 Chinese learners, focusing on whether properties of wh-phrases
divergent across languages can be acquired in L2. We used an acceptability judgement task and conducted the experiment
online. Theoretically, the study investigated the acquisition of operator-variable chains in their grammar. The
results showed that their L2 Japanese grammar is a mixture of L1 Chinese and L2 Japanese. This apparent inconsistency
most likely results from the way that operators are fully construed with all the necessary features in place: Chinese
operators are formed in the lexicon, while Japanese ones are construed in core syntax (Saito, 2017, 2021). The current finding is taken as support for the Feature Reassembly
Hypothesis (Lardiere, 2008, 2009), which states that L2 learners reassemble L1 features in order to construct L2 grammar.
Prosody and head directionality
Authors: Liceras Juana M. , Llamazares Marco , Aizu Yoriko 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
The relationship between prosodic encliticization of the conjunctive coordinator and OV word order
(or the equivalent correlation between VO and procliticization) is a strong descriptive universal. Namely, if a
language shows prosodic encliticization (prosodic attachment after the initial coordinand), as in “John-and
Peter”, then that language is necessarily OV, as is the case in Japanese. However, if a language has
procliticization of the conjunctive coordinator, as in “John and-Peter”, we cannot say whether it is
OV or VO, since, for example, English, Spanish and Basque display procliticization but English and Spanish are VO
while Basque is OV. Using experimental data from speakers of convergent (OV – enclisis and VO – proclisis) languages
such as Japanese, English, and Spanish and non-convergent (OV – proclisis) languages such as Basque, the study
addresses the strength of the relationship between the encliticization of conjunctive coordination and word order in
the mind of native speakers of these four languages.
SAFE – A risk management tool to protect both people and pets in residential aged care facilities
Authors: O’Dwyer Lisel A , Young Janette O 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Pet ownership has known health and well-being benefits for people of all ages. Most previous research on pet ownership among older people has focussed on older people with pets living independently in their own homes or the effects of visiting pet programs in residential aged care. With structural ageing of populations globally, the number of humans living into old age is increasing. Even with home support and care policies, an increasing number will need to live in communal aged care settings. Currently, pets rarely accompany older persons into communal residential aged care. This article presents a risk management tool – Safe Animal Friendly Environments (SAFE) – designed to facilitate and maintain private pet ownership among older people living in residential aged care facilities. SAFE was developed to identify best practice for both human and animal well-being in residential aged care. The tool supports both human and animal well-being during a human stage of life with many losses and pains while reducing the number of pet animals needlessly relinquished or even euthanised when owners need to ‘go into care’. It was developed using a Delphi process with multidisciplinary expert input. We identify the different types of risks for stakeholders (residents with pets, aged care facility staff and pets), including physical, zoonotic and psychological risks. None of the identified risks of pets in aged care are unmanageable. SAFE reduces risks to acceptable levels and directs how to remove them where possible. SAFE has a summative table listing 17 general risks: from animals to humans, humans to animals and animals to animals. Each identified risk has a pre-mitigation risk assessment (low, medium or high), recommended mitigation actions and a post-mitigation risk rating (low, medium or high). Post-mitigation risk is reduced to ‘low’ in almost all scenarios. SAFE has separate tables for dogs, cats, small mammals, birds and fish, each preceded by a best practice case study. The discussion links the Ottawa Charter for (human) health promotion and use of SAFE. SAFE contributes to the inclusion of residential aged care as a context for the personal human-animal bond.

Infinitely degenerate slowly rotating solutions in f(R) gravity

Published: May 2024

Abstract
This work tests the no-hair conjecture in f(R) gravity models. No-hair conjecture asserts that all black holes in general relativity coupled to any matter must be Kerr–Newman type. However, the conjecture fails in some cases with non-linear matter sources. Here, we address this by explicitly constructing multiple slow-rotating black hole solutions, up to second order in rotational parameter, for a class of f(R) models (

). Such an f(R) includes all higher-powers of R. We analytically show that multiple vacuum solutions satisfy the field equations up to the second order in the rotational parameter. In other words, we show that the multiple vacuum solutions depend on arbitrary constants, which depend on the coupling parameters of the model. Hence, our results indicate that the no-hair theorem for modified gravity theories merits extending to include the coupling constants. The uniqueness of our result stems from the fact that these are obtained directly from metric formalism without conformal transformation. We discuss the kinematical properties of these black hole solutions and compare them with slow-rotating Kerr. Specifically, we show that the circular orbits for the black holes in f(R) are smaller than that of Kerr. This implies that the inner-most stable circular orbit for black holes in f(R) is smaller than Kerr’s; hence, the shadow radius might also be smaller. Finally, we discuss the implications of our results for future observations.
An intelligent fault diagnosis method for rolling bearing using motor stator current signals
Authors: Ye Xiangbiao , Li Guofu 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
In the diagnosis of rolling bearing faults, the Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) method offers advantages such as low cost, simplicity, and convenience compared to using vibration signals, temperature information, and other diagnostic objects. However, owing to the interference of high-frequency noise, power frequency, and its harmonics in current signals, which can severely affect the accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis, it is extremely challenging to use the original current signals during bearing faults directly for diagnostic purposes. Therefore, this paper proposes an intelligent fault diagnosis method based on the feature reconstruction (FR) method and convolutional neural networks (CNN). This method can achieve high-precision fault diagnosis using single-phase stator current signals from motors as the diagnostic objects. First, the FR method effectively removes the impact of high-frequency noise, supply frequency, and its harmonics from the current signals, while also highlighting subtle fault feature signals to a certain extent. Second, a CNN suitable for learning the characteristics of the current signals was constructed. Through feature extraction, learning, and classification of the current signal samples processed by the FR method, a diagnostic method with a high classification accuracy was obtained. Visualization techniques were used to present the final diagnosis results intuitively. The experimental results demonstrated the highest diagnostic accuracy and average diagnostic accuracy of the proposed method in diagnosing rolling bearing fault types, with an average diagnostic accuracy of approximately 99% for actual faulty bearing samples.
Structural and chemical study of complex silver patterns additively manufactured by multi-photon reduction
Authors: Fan Lisha , Tang Xianwei , Zhang Shuowen , Wu Ling , Zhao Tianzhen , Ding Xiaoyu , Wu Huaping , Yao Jianhua 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Multi-photon reduction (MPR) based on femtosecond laser makes rapid prototyping and molding in micro-nano scale feasible, but is limited in material selectivity due to lack of the understanding of the reaction mechanism in MPR process. In this paper, additively manufacturing of complex silver-based patterns through MPR is demonstrated. The effects of laser parameters, including laser pulse energies and scanning speeds, on the structural and chemical characteristics of the printed structures are systematically investigated. The results show that the geometric size of printed cubes deviates from the designed size further by increasing laser pulse energy or decreasing scanning speed. The reaction mechanism of MPR is revealed by studying the elemental composition and chemical structures of printed cubes. The evolution of Raman spectra upon the laser processing parameters suggests that the MPR process mainly includes two processes: reduction and decomposition. In the MPR process, silver ions are reduced and grow into particles by accepting the electrons from ethonal molecules; meanwhile carboxyl groups in polyvinylpyrrolidone are decomposed and form amorphous carbon that is attached on the surface of silver particles. The conductivity of silver wires fabricated by MPR reaches 2 × 105 S m−1 and stays relatively constant as varying their cross section area, suggesting excellent electrical conduction. The understanding of the MPR process would accelerate the development of MPR technology and the implementation of MPR in micro-electromechanical systems could therefore be envisioned.
A compound eye-like morphology formed through hexagonal array of hemispherical microparticles where an alkyl-fullerene derivative self-assembled at atmosphere-sealed air/water interface

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Self-assembly processes are widely used in nature to form hierarchically organized structures, prompting us to investigate such processes at the macroscopic scale. We report an unprecedented approach toward the self-assembly of alkyl-fullerene (C60) derivatives into a hexagonal array of hemispherical microparticles akin to the morphology of a compound eye. The method includes casting solvated alkyl-C60 compound on an air/water interface followed by controlled evaporation of the solvent under atmosphere-sealed conditions. This leads to the formation of a thin film floating on water with a diameter of up to 1.3 centimeters and exhibiting a hexagonally-packed hemispherical structure with a diameter of approximately 38 µm. Various measurements of the formed film reveal that amorphousness is necessary for suppressing uncontrollable crystallization, which affects the microparticle size and film formation mechanism. We tested the feasibility of this approach for the self-assembly of a relatively common C60 derivative, [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM), resulting in the formation of a film with a similar pattern of hexagonally-packed larger microparticles approximately 152 µm in size of diameter.
Quantifying residual oil in a household oil tank
Authors: Downes Fionn 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
On a chilly evening, a practical challenge was posed to 2nd level students taking an extra-curricular math class: Imagine a household cylindrical oil tank lying on its side. How could we determine how much heating oil remains in the tank? In this paper, we ask students to engage in mathematical deduction to devise methods for approximating a solution to this intriguing engineering problem. The only tools that we have access to are measuring tape, and a long clean stick, so resourcefulness becomes key. We establish a mathematical relationship between the parameters that we have access to measure and the volume of oil that remains in the tank. Expanding the scope, we encapsulate this solution within a Jupyter Notebook (Python), allowing for the calculation of oil in any cylindrical tank.
