The prosody of list constructions
Authors: Masini Francesca , Combei Claudia Roberta , Cicchirillo Roberta 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The paper addresses one of the current hot topics within Construction Grammar, namely the
integration of phonetic and phonological features into constructions. More specifically, we investigate some
suprasegmental features of list constructions in spontaneous Italian speech, in order to (i) unveil their role and
relevance in the identification and interpretation of lists, and (ii) assess which traits might be incorporated into
their representation. To this end, we analyze a sample of 92 naturally occurring lists (produced by 53 different
speakers), taken from corpora of spoken Italian. We consider only nominal lists, with minimum three conjuncts and no
general extenders. Our results show that lists have a recognizable prosodic profile and that some of their
morphosyntactic and functional properties match some of the acoustic-prosodic and intonational features considered in
our study. First, lists turned out to be characterized by a lower speech/articulation rate with respect to non-listing
speech. Second, non-compositional lists, which require a greater processing effort, are slower than more compositional
lists. Third, all lists, irrespective of their interpretation, are typically associated with tonal parallelism. These
features were therefore incorporated into the list constructional network.
Towards a functional perspective on multimodal
constructions
Authors: Lehmann Claudia 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The paper argues in favor of taking a functional perspective on constructions. To this end, a
stance-related construction, Tell me about it, and its multimodal delivery in spoken language will be
analyzed on a larger scale using the NewsScape Library of International Television News (Steen & Turner, 2013). The quantitative analysis shows that
stance-related Tell me about it is longer in duration, accompanied by head movements and raised
eyebrows, and the withdrawal of eye contact with the recipient. These findings will eventually be treated as evidence
for the view that (multimodal) constructions and some unimodal, nonverbal constructions form a network of functionally
related constructions.
Pragmatic and prosodic aspects of the negative directive
ðe mu les? (‘tell me’) in Greek conversation
Authors: Alvanoudi Angeliki 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study examines the pragmatic and prosodic aspects of the Greek negative directive ðe
mu les? (neg pn.1sg.gen say.2sg.prs) ‘tell me’ (lit. ‘don’t you tell me?’),
bringing together conversation-analytic informed Interactional Linguistics and Construction Grammar, and drawing on
naturally occurring data from audio-recorded conversations and telephone calls. It is shown that the negative
directive ðe mu les? construction is used as a discourse marker that signals disjunctive topic change
and displays specific prosodic properties, which are partly inherited from polar interrogatives and offer frames for
the interpretation of the construction in talk-in-interaction. The study enhances our understanding of the ways in
which prosody pairs with constructions and contributes to action formation.
Intensification in written L2 Italian
Authors: Spina Stefania , Glaznieks Aivars , Abel Andrea 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The present study compares the use of adjective intensification in written L2 Italian production in South Tyrolean
upper secondary schools with that of young Italian native speakers. By relying on a Diasystematic Construction Grammar approach,
it explores the role of learners’ L1s, L2 proficiency levels and their linguistic environments as potential variables affecting
the use and choice of different intensifying constructions. Results show that a dominant German-speaking linguistic environment is
a significant predictor of learners’ preferences for a syntactic over a morphological intensification type. Unexpectedly, however,
learners of Italian also make heavy use of the intensifying suffix — issimo, an unfamiliar construction in
German. Results also show a difference in the diversity of intensification types used by learners compared to native speakers.
Learners are limited to the most frequent types and make a very limited use of maximizers, which seem to be a “blind spot”.
“¿Otra vez con fame? ¡Menudo llambión!”
Authors: Arias Álvarez Alba , Turrero García María 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
By adopting a matched-guise technique, the present study examines covert and overt attitudes towards Asturian, a
minoritized language spoken in Asturias (Northwestern Spain). The two phonetic Asturian variants empirically analyzed are Asturian
‘f-’ and ‘ll-’ vs. Spanish ‘h-’ and ‘l-’, respectively. Given the current stigmatization of Asturian, the hypothesis is that
guises in which the Asturian linguistic variants are employed will be judged as used by lower social status speakers in comparison
to those in which the Spanish variants are uttered. Results support this hypothesis. Furthermore, examples of covert prestige
towards Asturian were found in traits such as friendliness, generosity, and kindness. This project on Asturian linguistic
attitudes can provide insight into the types of initiatives that can be considered to restitute the language’s social prestige,
and thus give it additional social support with regards to its legal status.
Is there a typological profile of isolates?
Authors: Vuillermet Marine , Inman David , Chousou-Polydouri Natalia , Parker van Dam Kellen , Easterday Shelece , Rose Françoise 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Across the linguistic literature, one occasionally encounters claims of typological differences
between isolates and non-isolates, but these are often vague, and tend to use isolates as proxies for small community
size, hunter-gatherer societies, and/or socially/geographically isolated languages. We compared the distribution of 89
phonological and morphosyntactic typological features between isolates and non-isolates using a worldwide sample of
215 languages (68 isolates vs. 147 non-isolates), in which we were unable to find a statistically significant
distinction. We discuss the relevance of our results for these claims, for the suggested proxy relationships between
isolates and other factors, and suggest possible avenues for future research.
Etymologies in a language isolate
Authors: Manterola Julen 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This paper presents an introduction to Basque etymological studies from a variety of perspectives.
It emphasizes the importance of lexical families and introduces the notion of lexical isolate,
exploring its relevance for both etymological endeavors and hypotheses of genetic relationship. Subsequent sections
inventory some guidelines for etymological inquiries, addressing the formal and semantic aspects of etymologies and
delving into the specificities of loanwords. They do so while paying special attention to the particularities of
language isolates and illustrating all this with novel etymologies. The paper concludes with a proposal for assessing
the quality of etymologies in language isolates.
The Múra doculects and Múra-Pirahã historical linguistics
Authors: Carvalho Fernando Orphão de 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In the absence of related languages, research on isolates must pay close attention to dialectal
differentiation. As these varieties are often poorly recorded in rather idiosyncratic pre-modern sources, a certain
amount of philological acumen is needed as well. This paper addresses Múra-Pirahã (Brazil) by examining the existing
sources on the Múra dialect(s). The main isoglosses characterizing the doculects are discussed, and a series of claims
on language contact are presented and evaluated. It is argued that the impact of Tupi-Guarani languages on Múra-Pirahã
is more complex and varied than assumed so far, and a series of novel claims on the role of Múra-Pirahã in the
diffusion of regional loanwords and Wanderwörter is advanced.
Euclidean actions and static black hole entropy in teleparallel theories
Authors: Kuntz Iberê , Paci Gregorio , Zanusso Omar 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
It is well-known that the results by Bekenstein, Gibbons and Hawking on the thermodynamics of black holes can be reproduced quite simply in the Euclidean path integral approach to quantum gravity. The corresponding partition function is obtained semiclassically, ultimately requiring only the on-shell Einstein–Hilbert action with opportune asymptotic subtractions. We elaborate on the fact that the same expressions for the thermodynamical quantities can be obtained within teleparallel equivalent theories, based on either torsion or nonmetricity, by employing quasilocal relations. Notably, the bulk integrals of these theories do not vanish on-shell but rather result in boundary terms themselves. Asymptotic subtractions of the latter are able to cancel out the divergences, ultimately leading to Bekenstein–Gibbons–Hawking’s results. As a non-trivial cross-check, we compute the bulk integrals directly without reference to the boundary terms. While the result agrees with the previous method for the torsion-based teleparallel theory, it differs for the nonmetricity theory. Specifically, upon regularizing the bulk integral using a fiducial reference frame, we find that the semiclassical partition function vanishes. To address this problem, we propose a simple prescription for Schwarzschild black holes, which involves keeping the nonmetric connection arbitrary and imposing thermal equilibrium. Generalizations of the results to more general modified gravity theories with antisymmetric degrees of freedom are also discussed.
Skyrmions in synthetic antiferromagnet nanorings for electrical signal generation

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Current-driven magnetic skyrmions show promise as carriers of information bits in racetrack magnetic memory applications. Specifically, the utilization of skyrmions in synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) systems is highly attractive due to the potential to suppress the skyrmion Hall effect, which causes a transverse displacement of driven skyrmions relative to the shift direction. In this study, we demonstrate, through analytical calculations and micromagnetic simulations, that in the case of a nanoring geometry, current-driven skyrmions achieve a stable circular motion with a constant frequency, which is a prerequisite for a skyrmion-based clock device. Notably, the operational frequency in a SAF nanoring surpasses that in a bilayer ferromagnetic-heavy metal nanoring and lies in the GHz regime for current densities of

Emergent symmetries in prethermal phases of periodically driven quantum systems
Authors: Banerjee Tista , Sengupta K 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Periodically driven closed quantum systems are expected to eventually heat up to infinite temperature; reaching a steady state described by a circular orthogonal ensemble. However, such finite driven systems may exhibit sufficiently long prethermal regimes; their properties in these regimes are qualitatively different from that of their corresponding infinite temperature steady states. These, often experimentally relevant, prethermal regimes host a wide range of phenomena; they may exhibit dynamical localization and freezing, host Floquet scars, display signatures of Hilbert space fragmentation, and exhibit time crystalline phases. Such phenomena are often accompanied by emergent approximate dynamical symmetries which have no analogue in equilibrium systems. In this review, we provide a pedagogical introduction to the origin and nature of these symmetries and discuss their role in shaping the prethermal phases of a class of periodically driven closed quantum systems.
Emergence of metal-semiconductor phase transition in MX2(M=Ni, Pd, Pt; X= S, Se, Te) moiré superlattices
Authors: Li Jie , Zhang Rui-Zi , Pan Jinbo , Chen Ping , Du Shixuan 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) moiré superlattices with a small twist in orientation exhibit a broad range of physical properties due to the complicated intralayer and interlayer interactions modulated by the twist angle. Here, we report a metal-semiconductor phase transition in homojunction moiré superlattices of NiS2 and PtTe2 with large twist angles based on high-throughput screening of 2D materials MX2 (M=Ni, Pd, Pt; X= S, Se, Te) via density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Firstly, the calculations of different stacking configurations (AA, AB, and AC) reveal that AA stacking ones are stable for all the bilayer MX2. The metallic or semiconducting properties of these 2D materials remain invariable for different stacking without twisting except NiS2 and PtTe2. For the twisted configurations, NiS2 transfers from metal to semiconductor when the twist angles are 21.79°, 27.79°, 32.20°, and 60°. PtTe2 exhibits a similar transition at 60°. The phase transition is due to the weakened d-p orbital hybridization around the Fermi level as the interlayer distance increasing in the twisted configurations. Further calculations of untwisted bilayers with increasing interlayer distance demonstrate that all the materials undergo metal-semiconductor phase transition with the increased interlayer distance because of the weakened d-p orbital hybridization. These findings provide fundamental insights into tuning the electronic properties of moiré superlattices with large twist angles.
Exposing the dead-cone effect of jet quenching in QCD medium
Authors: Dai Wei , Zhang Ben-Wei 张本威 , Wang Enke 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
When an energetic parton traverses the hot QCD medium it may suffer multiple scattering and lose its energy. The medium-induced gluon radiation for a massive quark will be suppressed relative to that of a light quark due to the dead-cone effect. The development of new declustering techniques of jet evolution makes a direct study of the dead-cone effect in the QCD medium possible for the first time. In this work, we compute the emission angle distribution of the charm-quark initiated splittings in $\rm D^0$ meson tagged jet and that of the light parton initiated splittings in an inclusive jet in p+p and Pb+Pb at $\rm 5.02$~TeV by utilizing the declustering techniques of jet evolution. The heavy quark propagation and indued energy loss in the QCD medium are simulated with the SHELL model based on the Langevin equation. By directly comparing the emission angle distributions of charm-quark-initiated splittings with those of light parton-initiated splittings at the same energy intervals of the initial parton, we provide insights into the fundamental splitting structure in A+A collisions， thereby exploring the possible exposure of the dead-cone effect in medium-induced radiation. We further investigate the case of the emission angle distributions normalized to the number of splittings and find the dead-cone effect will broaden the emission angle of the splitting and reduce the possibility to occur such splitting, therefore leading the massive parton to lose less energy. We also find the collisional energy loss mechanism has a negligible impact on the medium modification to the emission angle distribution of the charm-quark initiated splittings for $\rm D^0$-meson tagged jets.

Anisotropic flow, flow fluctuation, and flow decorrelation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions: the roles of sub-nucleon structure and shear viscosity*
Authors: Zhu 朱 Jie 杰 , Wu 吴 Xiang-Yu 祥宇 , Qin 秦 Guang-You 广友 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
We study the transverse momentum (

) differential anisotropic flow and flow fluctuation in Pb+Pb collisions at

=5.02 TeV at the LHC. A (3+1)-dimensional CLVisc hydrodynamics framework with fluctuating TRENTO (or AMPT) initial conditions is utilized to simulate the space-time evolution of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) medium. The effects of shear viscosity and the sub-nucleon structure on anisotropic flow and flow fluctuation are analyzed. Our result shows that shear viscosity tends to suppress both flow coefficients (

,

, and

) and flow fluctuation (

) owing to its smearing effect on local density fluctuation. The flow coefficients appear to be insensitive to the sub-nucleon structure, whereas the flow fluctuation

tends to be suppressed by the sub-nucleon structure in central collisions but enhanced in peripheral collisions. After taking into account the sub-nucleon structure effect, our numerical result can qualitatively describe the relative flow fluctuations (

,

) measured by the ALICE Collaboration at the LHC. We further investigate the effects of shear viscosity, sub-nucleon structure, and initial condition model on the flow angle and flow magnitude decorrelations (

,

) using the four-particle correlation method. We find that the flow decorrelation effect is typically stronger in central collisions than in peripheral collisions. The flow angle decorrelation is found to be insensitive to the shear viscosity and sub-nucleon structure, whereas the flow magnitude decorrelation shows quite different behaviors when using the TRENTO and AMPT initial condition models. Our study sheds light on the anisotropic flow, transport properties, and initial structure of the QGP created in high-energy nuclear collisions.

The measured transmittances are lower than 10−4 and are in agreement with values calculated from the reflectances of single photodiodes. The measured relative transmittances and responsivities are independent of polarisation within 0.12%. The spectral responsivity is spatially uniform within 0.1% across an area of

Abstract
In this work, most of the weakly coherent mode (WCM) characteristics and the level of transport coefficients observed in I-mode pedestal plasmas of C-Mod are reproduced theoretically. The dispersion relation of drift-Alfvén wave (DAW) is analytically solved for both drift-wave (DW) and Alfvén wave branches, and the WCM is identified to be the DW branch. The frequency of DW branch in the laboratory frame is about 200 kHz, the poloidal phase velocity propagating in the direction of electron diamagnetic drift is around

In Silico Study of Anticancer Activity of Acalypha indica Bioactive Compounds Against the ERα Receptor
Authors: Hayati E K , Sabarudin A , Aulanni’am  , Firdaus S A , Rafi M 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Cancer is caused by the growth of abnormal cells in body tissues and is the second leading cause of death in the world, especially in women. The search for anticancer drug compounds continues in order to reduce the toxic effects of chemotherapy, making alternative treatments necessary. This study aims to evaluate the anticancer activity of sixteen bioactive compounds from Acalypha indica plants through the identification of target receptors and interaction studies using molecular docking methods against ERα (Estrogen receptor alpha) receptors. The results of molecular docking showed that, after optimization, the best anticancer candidates bioactive compounds tested from A. indica were myristyl sulfate, di-n-amyl phthalate, and catechins. The myristyl sulfate compound, with a ΔGbind value of −36.97 kcal/mol, forms hydrogen bond interactions with amino acids Gly216 and His219; the di-n-amyl phthalate compound, with a ΔGbind value of −32.81 kcal/mol, forms hydrogen bond interactions with the amino acid Thr42; and catechin, with a ΔGbind value of −25.5 kcal/mol, forms hydrogen bond interactions with amino acids Glu48, Met38, and Thr42, which are similar to those of the comparative drug doxorubicin. Therefore, the docking results for the bioactive compounds myristyl sulfate, di-n-amyl phthalate, and catechin with the ERα receptor suggest that they have the potential to serve as alternative anticancer drug candidates.
The Structure of Hematite Pigment from Lathe Waste Using Guava Leave Extract by Hydrothermal Method
Authors: Khoiroh L M , Nisa D A , Akbar R F A 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Lathe waste contains 97% iron, which has the potential as a raw material for producing hematite pigment (α-Fe2O3). Guava leaf extract contains tannin, a reducing agent in synthesizing hematite. In this study, hematite was synthesized using the hydrothermal method at temperatures of 120, 140, and 160°C, then calcined for 3 hours at a temperature of 750°C. XRD, Color reader, FTIR, and SEM characterized the resulting products. The XRD characterization shows that the product before and after calcination was hematite with a rhombohedral structure. Hematite before calcination resulted in an amorphous phase and formed high crystallinity and purity after calcination. The crystal size of hematite ranges from 24.8-34.2 nm. The Color values such as the degree of redness, yellowness, brightness, chroma, and hue are by the hematite pigment standard. The results of FTIR identification on samples before and after calcination have formed hematite with a typical Fe-O group at wave numbers 471 and 575 cm−1. SEM results show that the resulting morphology was not uniform, and aggregate occurs, the necessity for further research to optimize the material’s properties, thereby improving its functionality for applications as a pigment and in other relevant fields.
