description: Long-lived coherent spin precession of 3He-B at low temperatures around 0.2 Tc is a manifestation of Bose-Einstein condensation of spin-wave excitations or magnons in a magnetic trap which is formed by the order-parameter texture and can be manipulated experimentally. When the number of magnons increases, the orbital texture reorients under the influence of the spin-orbit interaction and the profile of the trap gradually changes from harmonic to a square well, with walls almost impenetrable to magnons. This is the first experimental example of Bose condensation in a box. By selective rf pumping the trap can be populated with a ground-state condensate or one at any of the excited energy levels. In the latter case the ground state is simultaneously populated by relaxation from the exited level, forming a system of two coexisting condensates.

Syllable cut and energy contour in vowels: a comparative study on German and Hungarian

description: Syllable cut is said to be a phonologically distinctive feature in some languages where the difference in vowel quantity is accompanied by a difference in vowel quality like in German. There have been several attempts to find the corresponding phonetic correlates for syllable cut, from which the energy measurements of vowels by Spiekermann (2000) proved appropriate for explaining the difference between long, i.e. smoothly, and short, i.e. abruptly cut, vowels: in smoothly cut vowels, a larger number of peaks was counted in the energy contour which were located further back than in abruptly cut segments, and the overall energy was more constant throughout the entire nucleus. On this basis, we intended to compare German as a syllable cut language and Hungarian where the feature was not expected to be relevant. However, the phonetic correlates of syllable cut found in this study do not entirely confirm Spiekermann's results. It seems that the energy features of vowels are more strongly connected to their duration than to their quality.

NELLA BABELE DEL LAGER: LINGUE, PAROLE E COMUNICAZIONE NEI CAMPI NAZISTI

description: «La confusione delle lingue è una componente fondamentale del modo di vivere di quaggiù; si è circondati da una perpetua Babele, in cui tutti urlano ordini e minacce in lingue mai prima udite e guai a chi non afferra al volo» scrive Primo Levi in Se questo è un uomo, cercando di trovare le parole giuste per descrivere una sensazione provata costantemente dai deportati nel lager nazista di Auschwitz. I temi dell’incomunicabilità all’interno del lager, della privazione della parola e della possibilità di comprendere sono presenti in tutte le testimonianze scritte e orali dei superstiti italiani delle deportazioni, che cercarono di orientarsi nel plurilinguismo della realtà concentrazionaria. Studiare la lingua del lager significa attraversare le parole dell’odio, dell’umiliazione e della violenza nazista, ma anche approfondire il valore umano della comunicazione fra compagni di deportazione, attraverso una lingua fatta di solidarietà, speranza e resistenza. Lo studio del linguaggio in un contesto particolare come quello del lager diventa, dunque, un mezzo per indagare il sistema concentrazionario dal suo interno e provare a riscoprire la voce di chi lo visse. In the Babel of the lager: languages, words and communication in nazi camps «The confusion of languages is a fundamental component of living here; one is surrounded by a perpetual Babel, in which everyone shouts orders and threats in languages never heard before, and woe betide whoever fails to grasp the meaning» These words were written in Se questo è un uomo, a book by Primo Levi, and they are an attempt to describe a consistent feeling of prisoners in the Nazi lager of Auschwitz. Italian survivors had to struggle to orient themselves in the multilingualism of the Nazi lager system and we find traces of this in their testimonies, both written and oral. They speak about themes such as the impossibility to express themselves inside the lager, the lack of opportunities to be understood and to comprehend others. Studying the language of lager means to go through the words of hatred, humiliation and Nazi violence, but also to analyze the human value of communication between the deportees, through a language created on solidarity, hope and resistance. By investigating the language in the Nazi lager, we can grasp the vision of survivors who passed through all this.

Articulatory variability of clutterers
Creators: name: Hartinger, Mariam

Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: In order to investigate the articulatory processes of the hasty and mumbled speech of clutterers, the kinematic variability was analysed by means of electromagnetic midsagittal articulography (EMMA). In contrast to stutterers, clutterers improve their intelligibility by concentrating on their speech task. Variability is an important criterion in comparable studies of stuttering and is discussed in terms of the stability of the speech motor system. The aim of the current study was to analyse the spatial and temporal variability in the speech of three clutterers and three control speakers. All speakers were native speakers of German. The speech material consisted of repetitive CV-syllables and foreign words, because clutterers have the most severe problems with long words which have a complex syllable structure. The results showed a higher quotient of variation for clutterers in the foreign word production. For the syllable repetition task, no significant differences between clutterers and controls were found. The extremely large and variable displacements were interpreted as a strategy that helps clutterers to improve the intelligibility of their speech.

description: We find spherically symmetric solutions in the modified Hořava-Lifshitz gravity proposed recently by Blas, Pujolas and Sibiryakov. The non-linear equations of the two derivative action turn out to be similar to those stemming from the four-derivative action explored recently. We analyze the solutions and derive constraints on the relevant new coupling constant. We also analyze the case where the cosmological constant is non-zero. We derive the large distance expansion of solutions and show that the power of the standard Newton's law is modified in the presence of a cosmological constant.

description: Nell’italiano contemporaneo può capitare di incontrare il pronome egli preceduto da preposizione (ad egli, da egli, con egli ecc.). Il presente contributo indaga la presenza del costrutto nella storia dell'italiano, riscontrandone la diffusione nella prosa di tono sostenuto, in particolare d’ambito cronachistico-memorialistico prima e più generalmente trattatistico nei secoli successivi, fino a confinarsi in epoca moderna nei testi specialistici e settoriali e in particolare nel linguaggio giuridico-amministrativo. Obsolete Italian usage, not only contemporary legal language: the prepositional syntagma with egli In contemporary Italian the pronoun egli preceded by a preposition (ad egli, da egli, con egli etc.) may sometimes occur in some varieties of language (such as burocratic or legal ones, but in substandard italian as well). This paper surveys the presence of this pattern through history of italian language, whose spread in ancient and modern high-level prose (treatises, chronicles, memorial documentations), predicting the current trend, is observed and analised.

On the complex nature of speech kinematics
Creators: name: Fuchs, Susanne
name: Perrier, Pascal
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: Studying kinematic behavior in speech production is an indispensable and fruitful methodology in order to describe for instance phonemic contrasts, allophonic variations, prosodic effects in articulatory movements. More intriguingly, it is also interpreted with respect to its underlying control mechanisms. Several interpretations have been borrowed from motor control studies of arm, eye, and limb movements. They do either explain kinematics with respect to a fine tuned control by the Central Nervous System (CNS) or they take into account a combination of influences arising from motor control strategies at the CNS level and from the complex physical properties of the peripheral speech apparatus. We assume that the latter is more realistic and ecological. The aims of this article are: first, to show, via a literature review related to the so called '1/3 power law' in human arm motor control, that this debate is of first importance in human motor control research in general. Second, to study a number of speech specific examples offering a fruitful framework to address this issue. However, it is also suggested that speech motor control differs from general motor control principles in the sense that it uses specific physical properties such as vocal tract limitations, aerodynamics and biomechanics in order to produce the relevant sounds. Third, experimental and modelling results are described supporting the idea that the three properties are crucial in shaping speech kinematics for selected speech phenomena. Hence, caution should be taken when interpreting kinematic results based on experimental data alone.

Phonetics or phonology: asymmetries in loanword adaptations; French and German mid front rounded vowels in Japanese
Creators: name: Dohlus, Katrin
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: It is one of the most highly debated issues in loanword phonology whether loanword adaptations are phonologically or phonetically driven. This paper addresses this issue and aims at demonstrating that only the acceptance of both a phonological as well as a phonetic approximation stance can adequately account for the data found in Japanese. This point will be exemplified with the adaptation of German and French mid front rounded vowels in Japanese. It will be argued that the adaptation of German /oe/ and /ø/ as Japanese /e/ is phonologically grounded, whereas the adaptation of French /oe/ and /ø/ as Japanese /u/ is phonetically grounded. This asymmetry in the adaptation process of German and French mid front rounded vowels and further examples of loans in Japanese lead to the only conclusion that both strategies of loanword adaptation occur in languages. It will be shown that not only perception, but also the influence of orthography, of conventions and the knowledge of the source language play a role in the adaptation process.

description: We extend the Heine-Stieltjes Theorem to concern all (non-degenerate) differential operators preserving the property of having only real zeros. This solves a conjecture of B. Shapiro. The new methods developed are used to describe intricate interlacing relations between the zeros of different pairs of solutions. This extends recent results of Bourget, McMillen and Vargas for the Heun equation and answers their question on how to generalize their results to higher degrees. Many of the results are new even for the classical case.

“PAROLE DI GIORNI LONTANI”. PER LEGGERE LE AUTOBIOGRAFIE LINGUISTICHE DI TULLIO DE MAURO
Creators: name: Demetrio, Duccio

Year: 2021

description: Lo scritto si sofferma a rileggere le due autobiografie linguistiche, apparse nel 2006 e nel 2012, che Tullio De Mauro dedicò ai ricordi della sua infanzia e a quelli della prima adolescenza – vissute a Napoli e a Roma. Dal titolo Parole di giorni lontani e Parole di giorni un po’meno lontani: entrambe ne ripercorrono la storia di formazione e in particolare i momenti salienti nei quali ebbe coscienza di “entrare nel mondo della lingua e del linguaggio”. L’attenzione viene qui posta soprattutto sulla prima opera, attentamente vagliata alla ricerca delle tipicità compositive, degli stilemi narratologici, dei momenti salienti esistenziali che concorsero all’educazione non solo linguistica del protagonista. Un’Appendice rievoca un incontro indimenticabile e inedito tra Duccio Demetrio e Tullio De Mauro nel 1975. Un’occasione per non dimenticare l’importanza che la figura del grande studioso ebbe anche nel campo dell’educazione linguistica e dell’alfabetizzazione rivolta agli adulti. “Words from distant days”. Reading the linguistic autobiographies of Tullio De Mauro This paper focuses on the two linguistic autobiographies which appeared in 2006 and 2012 that Tullio De Mauro dedicated to his childhood memories and those of early adolescence in Naples and Rome. Entitled Parole di giorni lontani (Words from distant days) and Parole di giorni un po’ meno lontani (Words from less distant days), they retrace the history of his formation and in particular the key moments when he became aware of “entering the world of language and languages”. The attention is mainly focused on the first work, which is carefully examined in search of typical compositional features, narrative styles, existential milestones that contributed to the education, not only in linguistic terms, of the protagonist. An Appendix highlights an unforgettable and unprecedented meeting between Duccio Demetrio and Tullio De Mauro in 1975: an important occasion for recalling the great scholar significance in the field of language education and adult literacy.

(Non)retroflexivity of Slavic affricates and its motivation: evidence from Polish and Czech
Creators: name: Żygis, Marzena
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: The goal of this paper is two-fold. First, it revises the common assumption that the affricate denotes /t͡ʃ/ for all Slavic languages. On the basis of experimental results it is shown that Slavic stands for two sounds: /t͡ʃ/ as e.g. in Czech and /ʈʂ/ as in Polish. The second goal of the paper is to show that this difference is not accidental but it is motivated by perceptual relations among sibilants. In Polish, /t͡ʃ/ changed to /ʈʂ/ thus lowering its sibilant tonality and creating a better perceptual distance to /tɕ/, whereas in Czech /t͡ʃ/ did not turn to /ʈʂ/, as the former displayed sufficient perceptual distance to the only affricate present in the inventory, namely, the alveolar /t͡s/. Finally, an analysis of Czech and Polish affricate inventories is offered.

influence of the palate shape on articulatory token-to-token variability
Creators: name: Brunner, Jana
name: Fuchs, Susanne
name: Perrier, Pascal
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: Articulatory token-to-token variability not only depends on linguistic aspects like the phoneme inventory of a given language but also on speaker specific morphological and motor constraints. As has been noted previously (Perkell (1997), Mooshammer et al. (2004)), speakers with coronally high "domeshaped" palates exhibit more articulatory variability than speakers with coronally low "flat" palates. One explanation for that is based on perception oriented control by the speaker. The influence of articulatory variation on the cross sectional area and consequently on the acoustics should be greater for flat palates than for domeshaped ones. This should force speakers with flat palates to place their tongue very precisely whereas speakers with domeshaped palates might tolerate a greater variability. A second explanation could be a greater amount of lateral linguo-palatal contact for flat palates holding the tongue in position. In this study both hypotheses were tested. In order to investigate the influence of the palate shape on the variability of the acoustic output a modelling study was carried out. Parallely, an EPG experiment was conducted in order to investigate the relationship between palate shape, articulatory variability and linguo-palatal contact. Results from the modelling study suggest that the acoustic variability resulting from a certain amount of articulatory variability is higher for flat palates than for domeshaped ones. Results from the EPG experiment with 20 speakers show that (1.) speakers with a flat palate exhibit a very low articulatory variability whereas speakers with a domeshaped palate vary, (2.) there is less articulatory variability if there is lots of linguo-palatal contact and (3.) there is no relationship between the amount of lateral linguo-palatal contact and palate shape. The results suggest that there is a relationship between token-to-token variability and palate shape, however, it is not that the two parameters correlate, but that speakers with a flat palate always have a low variability because of constraints of the variability range of the acoustic output whereas speakers with a domeshaped palate may choose the degree of variability. Since linguo-palatal contact and variability correlate it is assumed that linguo-palatal contact is a means for reducing the articulatory variability.

Acoustic differences between German and Dutch labiodentals
Creators: name: Hamann, Silke

Year: 2005

description: The present article is a follow-up study of the investigation of labiodentals in German and Dutch by Hamann & Sennema (2005), where we looked at the perception of the Dutch labiodental three-way contrast by German listeners without any knowledge of Dutch and German learners of Dutch. The results of this previous study suggested that the German voiced labiodental fricative /v/ is perceptually closer to the Dutch approximant /ʋ/ than to the corresponding Dutch voiced labiodental fricative /v/. These perceptual indications are attested by the acoustic findings in the present study. German /v/ has a similar harmonicity median and a similar centre of gravity to Dutch /ʋ/, but differs from Dutch /v/ in these parameters. With respect to the acoustic parameter of duration, German /v/ lies closer to the Dutch /v/ than to the Dutch /ʋ/.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2025

description: Purpose of Project: This is a quality improvement project to increase participation on the clinical ladder.Methods: Following Patricia Brenners’s novice-to-expert framework, registered nurses were paired together to guide novice nurses through the clinical ladder application process. Throughout the 6 weeks, the project manager completed weekly check-ins with the project participants to ensure positive progress through the application process. Once applications were completed, project participants submitted their applications to the nursing education department for review. Results: There was a 37% participation rate and post-implementation there was a 66% participation rate. The peer to-peer-program enhanced nurses’ confidence levels and staff identified that the program made the submission process less stressful and more attainable.Implications for Practice: Clinical ladder programs (CLP) are best recognized within the nursing field, CLP are commonly used as a program that provides promotion, retention and compensation (Bremer, 2020). Clinical ladder program support clinical competencies while increasing retention and professional growth. Despite efforts to improve professional development there continues to be opportunity in strengthening the clinical ladder program.
Late development of the categorical perception of speech sounds in pre-adolescent children

Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: While the perilinguistic child is endowed with predispositions for the categorical perception of phonetic features, their adaptation to the native language results from a long evolution from the end of the first year of age up to the adolescence. This evolution entails both a better discrimination between phonological categories, a concomitant reduction of the discrimination between within-category variants, and a higher precision of perceptual boundaries between categories. The first objective of the present study was to assess the relative importance of these modifications by comparing the perceptual performances of a group of 11 children, aged from 8 to 11 years, with those of their mothers. Our second objective was to explore the functional implications of categorical perception by comparing the performances of a group of 8 deaf children, equipped with a cochlear implant, with normal-hearing chronological age controls. The results showed that the categorical boundary was slightly more precise and that categorical perception was consistently larger in adults vs. normal-hearing children. Those among the deaf children who were able to discriminate minimal distinctions between syllables displayed categorical perception performances equivalent to those of normal-hearing controls. In conclusion, the late effect of age on the categorical perception of speech seems to be anchored in a fairly mature phonological system, as evidenced the fairly high precision of categorical boundaries in pre-adolescents. These late developments have functional implications for speech perception in difficult conditions as suggested by the relationship between categorical perception and speech intelligibility in cochlear implant children.

description: Organizzato da CEM e dalla Libera Università dell’autobiografia di Anghiari, il seminario residenziale alla Penicina ha visto valorizzata l’esperienza della scrittura di sé – scrittura autobiografica come cura di sé e autobiografia linguistica - anche grazie ad un contesto inserito in splendidi paesaggi evocativi di racconti personali. Qui i docenti hanno appreso metodi di lavoro da utilizzare nelle scuole e sono stati condotti in una dimensione esperienziale che ha lasciato spazio a grandi emozioni. L’autobiografia parte da parole che vengono lanciate per camminare verso di sé, in particolare le parole dell’infanzia perché la memoria autobiografica è connettiva, è connotativa e crea un legame tra queste parole e l’esperienza adulta. Scrivere la propria autobiografia significa mettere nero su bianco ciò che non si può dire per allenarsi a scavare, ricucire, trovare significati ancora sconosciuti. È cura di sé. L’autobiografia linguistica si intreccia perfettamente al discorso autobiografico generale, costituendo un aspetto non secondario, perché con i codici linguistici e le parole favorisce autoconsapevolezza e decentramento, mostrando il contatto di ciascuno con la propria stranierità. At Penicina. Writing about ourselves together. Memories of a residential seminar A residential seminar at Penicina, organized by CEM Pavia and Libera Università dell’autobiografia di Anghiari (AR), gave value to the experience of enhanced self-writing - autobiographical writing as self-care and linguistic autobiography - also thanks to the location where splendid landscapes evoked personal stories. Participants learned methods to use in schools in an experiential dimension that made space for deep emotion. Each autobiography started with words that that moved inwards, towards the self particularly words from childhood, since autobiographical memory is connective, connotative and creates a link between these words and adult experience. Writing one’s own autobiography means putting on paper what cannot be said, in order to train oneself to dig up, fix and find still unknown meanings. It is self-care. Linguistic autobiography is perfectly intertwined with general autobiographical discourse, representing a significant aspect, because with linguistic codes and words it fosters self-awareness and decentralization, showing each person's contact with their own uniqueness.

description: To optimise the design of the light readout in the ArDM 1-ton liquid argon dark matter detector, a range of reflector and WLS coating combinations were investigated in several small setups, where argon scintillation light was generated by radioactive sources in gas at normal temperature and pressure and shifted into the blue region by tetraphenyl butadiene (TPB). Various thicknesses of TPB were deposited by spraying and vacuum evaporation onto specular 3M{\small\texttrademark}-foil and diffuse Tetratex{\small\textregistered} (TTX) substrates. Light yields of each reflector and TPB coating combination were compared. Reflection coefficients of TPB coated reflectors were independently measured using a spectroradiometer in a wavelength range between 200 and 650 nm. WLS coating on the PMT window was also studied. These measurements were used to define the parameters of the light reflectors of the ArDM experiment. Fifteen large $120\times 25$ cm$^2$ TTX sheets were coated and assembled in the detector. Measurements in argon gas are reported providing good evidence of fulfilling the light collection requirements of the experiment.

Airflow in stop-vowel sequences of German
Creators: name: Hamann, Silke

Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: This study reports on the results of an airflow experiment that measured the duration of airflow and the amount of air from release of a stop to the beginning of a following vowel in stop vowel-sequences of German. The sequences involved coronal, labial and velar voiced and voiceless stops followed by the vocoids /j, i:, ı, ɛ, ʊ, a/. The experiment tested the influence of the three factors voicing of stop, place of stop articulation, and the following vocoid context on the duration and amount of air as possible explanation for assibilation processes. The results show that the voiceless stops are related to a longer duration and more air in the release phase than voiced ones. For the influence of the vocoids, a significant difference could be established between /j/ and all other vocoids for the duration of the release phase. This difference could not be found for the amount of air over this duration. The place of articulation had only restricted influence. Velars resulted in significantly longer duration of the release phase compared to non-velars. A significant difference in amount of air between the places of articulation could not be found.

I testi autobiografici o ‘autofictional’ scelti, prodotti da scrittori che hanno fatto esperienze di “spostamenti” geografici, culturali, linguistici, economici, sociali, di genere, sono considerati come spazi di riflessione e di apertura ai viaggi plurilinguistici/pluriculturali e permettono di mettere in discussione le certezze identitarie. Sono anche i fattori scatenanti e ispiratori della scrittura, sia per gli studenti che per gli insegnanti. Il modulo di formazione dei formatori sviluppato nell’ambito del progetto europeo IRIS è un esempio concreto della mobilitazione di queste letterature per la scrittura delle autobiografie linguistiche.

description: Le autobiografie linguistiche costituiscono degli strumenti sempre più diffusi nell’ambito della formazione dei docenti e della ricerca in contesto plurilingue. Più limitato è il numero di studi che si sono soffermati su come analizzare la ricchezza di questa tipologia di testi, legittimandone l’uso nel campo delle scienze del linguaggio e, in particolare, della linguistica educativa. Basandosi su studi di diverso ambito disciplinare, il contributo prende in esame alcuni approcci e metodi che possono essere applicati all’analisi delle autobiografie linguistiche, a diverso livello, nella ricerca empirica e nella formazione degli insegnanti. Si intende in questo modo fornire alcune coordinate metodologiche per una comprensione approfondita delle autobiografie linguistiche e delle loro specificità, tra le quali formatori e ricercatori potranno selezionare le modalità e gli strumenti analitici più rispondenti ai propri fini. Language autobiography between research and training: approaches and methods of analysis Language autobiographies are increasingly popular in the context of teacher training and research in a multilingual context. The number of studies focusing on how to analyze the richness of these texts, legitimizing their use in the field of language sciences and especially in educational linguistics is, however, more limited. Drawing on studies from different disciplinary fields, this paper examines some of the approaches and methods that can be applied, at different levels, to the analysis of language autobiographies in empirical research and in teacher training. The main motivating factor is to provide a range of analytical methods and tools which trainers and researchers can make reference to in order to reach an in-depth understanding of language autobiographies and their specific features.

Svetlichny's inequality and genuine tripartite nonlocality in three-qubit pure states

description: The violation of the Svetlichny's inequality (SI) [Phys. Rev. D, 35, 3066 (1987)] is sufficient but not necessary for genuine tripartite nonlocal correlations. Here we quantify the relationship between tripartite entanglement and the maximum expectation value of the Svetlichny operator (which is bounded from above by the inequality) for the two inequivalent subclasses of pure three-qubit states: the GHZ-class and the W-class. We show that the maximum for the GHZ-class states reduces to Mermin's inequality [Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 1838 (1990)] modulo a constant factor, and although it is a function of the three tangle and the residual concurrence, large number of states don't violate the inequality. We further show that by design SI is more suitable as a measure of genuine tripartite nonlocality between the three qubits in the the W-class states, and the maximum is a certain function of the bipartite entanglement (the concurrence) of the three reduced states, and only when their certain sum attains a certain threshold value, they violate the inequality.

description: We show that there are exactly three types of Hilbert series of Artin-Schelter regular algebras of dimension five with two generators. One of these cases (the most extreme) may not be realized by an enveloping algebra of a graded Lie algebra. This is a new phenomenon compared to lower dimensions, where all resolution types may be realized by such enveloping algebras.
description: 23 pages, added a section with a direct proof that the universal enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional positively graded Lie algebra is Artin-Schelter regular
Articulatory correlates of the voicing contrast in alveolar obstruent production in German
Creators: name: Fuchs, Susanne
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: This work investigates laryngeal and supralaryngeal correlates of the voicing contrast in alveolar obstruent production in German. It further studies laryngealoral co-ordination observed for such productions. Three different positions of the obstruents are taken into account: the stressed, syllable initial position, the post-stressed intervocalic position, and the post-stressed word final position. For the latter the phonological rule of final devoicing applies in German. The different positions are chosen in order to study the following hypotheses: 1. The presence/absence of glottal opening is not a consistent correlate of the voicing contrast in German. 2. Supralaryngeal correlates are also involved in the contrast. 3. Supralaryngeal correlates can compensate for the lack of distinction in laryngeal adjustment. Including the word final position is motivated by the question whether neutralization in word final position would be complete or whether some articulatory residue of the contrast can be found. Two experiments are carried out. The first experiment investigates glottal abduction in co-ordination with tongue-palate contact patterns by means of simultaneous recordings of transillumination, fiberoptic films and Electropalatography (EPG). The second experiment focuses on supralaryngeal correlates of alveolar stops studied by means of Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA) simultaneously with EPG. Three German native speakers participated in both recordings. Results of this study provide evidence that the first hypothesis holds true for alveolar stops when different positions are taken into account. In fricative production it is also confirmed since voiceless and voiced fricatives are most of the time realised with glottal abduction. Additionally, supralaryngeal correlates are involved in the voicing contrast under two perspectives. First, laryngeal and supralaryngeal movements are well synchronised in voiceless obstruent production, particularly in the stressed position. Second, supralaryngeal correlates occur especially in the post-stressed intervocalic position. Results are discussed with respect to the phonetics-phonology interface, to the role of timing and its possible control, to the interarticulatory co-ordination, and to stress as 'localised hyperarticulation'.

description: Vortices are known to play a key role in the dynamics of the quantum trajectories defined within the framework of the de Broglie-Bohm formalism of quantum mechanics. It has been rigourously proved that the motion of a vortex in the associated velocity field can induce chaos in these trajectories, and numerical studies have explored the rich variety of behaviors that due to their influence can be observed. In this paper, we go one step further and show how the theory of dynamical systems can be used to construct a general and systematic classification of such dynamical behaviors. This should contribute to establish some firm grounds on which the studies on the intrinsic stochasticity of Bohm's quantum trajectories can be based. An application to the two dimensional isotropic harmonic oscillator is presented as an illustration.

description: Il contributo affronta il tema della biografia linguistica dal punto di vista delle studentesse e degli studenti dei corsi di laurea in lingue, all’interno del percorso di formazione glottodidattica. Il focus dell’analisi di un corpus diacronico di più di dieci anni è posto sull’idea di docente di lingue che chi sta imparando una lingua possiede e di come queste immagini, idee, convinzioni condizionino o meno l’apprendimento linguistico. Si considerano anche le esperienze di insegnamento di tali persone in formazione, e l’idea professionale che essi/e hanno per il loro futuro. Con una analisi sugli aggettivi e gli avverbi, principalmente, si porteranno delle riflessioni sul ruolo del/della docente, che potrebbero essere utilizzate sia nella formazione e nell’aggiornamento, sia nella strutturazione dei corsi di lingua seconda o straniera. Becoming a teacher: the importance of future teachers reflecting on their language learning path This paper deals with the linguistic biography of students enrolled in degree courses in languages, as part of their teacher training path. The analysis of a diachronic corpus collected over more than ten years focuses on the idea of language teachers who are learning a language and how their images, ideas and beliefs condition language learning. It also considers teaching experiences during training, as well as the professional ideas they have for their future. By mainly analyzing adjectives and adverbs, reflections are made on the role of the teacher, useful both in training and refresher courses and in the structuring of second or foreign language courses.
