description: "The documentation of... descriptive generalizations is sometimes clearer and more accessible when expressed in terms of a detailed formal reconstruction, but only in the rare and happy case that the formalism fits the data so well that the resulting account is clearer and easier to understand than the list of categories of facts that it encodes.... [If not], subsequent scholars must often struggle to decode a description in an out-of-date formal framework so as to work back to... the facts.... which they can re-formalize in a new way. Having experienced this struggle often ourselves, we have decided to accommodate our successors by providing them directly with a plainer account." (Akinlabi & Liberman 2000:24)

description: Apparue en décembre 2019 et devenue une urgence de santé publique internationale à partir de la mi-mars 2020, la pandémie de coronavirus a bouleversé le monde. La montée en puissance du COVID-19 a modifié les interactions sociales tout en transformant considérablement le mode de fonctionnement des organisations. Les universités ont été l'une des institutions les plus touchées. Depuis l'imposition de mesures de quarantaine à l'échelle mondiale, elles ont dû s'adapter rapidement à de nouvelles pratiques administratives. Cet article traite donc des effets de la COVID sur le fonctionnement des universités dans le monde développé. Plus précisément, ce document examine quel sera l’effet à long terme de la COVID-19 sur l'organisation et la gouvernance des universités. Cette recherche analyse six domaines d'intérêt. La première section se concentre sur les effets que le coronavirus a eus sur les activités pédagogiques des universités. Nous illustrons l'hybridation du processus d'enseignement en raison de la transition vers l'apprentissage en ligne. Ensuite, nous examinons les ajustements que les chercheurs universitaires ont effectués pour poursuivre leurs travaux dans un monde en proie à une pandémie. Nous soulignons comment les collaborations de recherche et la collecte de données devront changer après l'épidémie. La troisième section sert à mettre en lumière les difficultés auxquelles les étudiants, ainsi que les professionnels universitaires, sont confrontés. L'article souligne comment les universités traitent les questions de stress et de santé mentale. La section suivante traite de l'importance économique des étudiants étrangers et explique comment les universités devront s'adapter pour maintenir leur stabilité financière tout en restant attrayantes pour les étudiants étrangers. La cinquième section se concentre sur les changements apportés par les universités en matière de fonctions administratives et opérationnelles. Enfin, nous analysons le travail des universités concernant la mise en œuvre d'un plan de préparation aux situations d'urgence, en examinant principalement les mesures prises par ces institutions académiques pour minimiser les effets néfastes de toute future crise sanitaire.

Strategies to Reduce Morphine Tolerance in Cancer: Evaluation of the Bifunctional Opioid UFP-505
Creators: name: Dietis, ND
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: Basic pharmacology

description: Morphine is a gold-standard analgesic acting at MOP (μ) opioid receptors, producing analgesia and tolerance when administered chronically to patients (e.g.,cancer patients). If DOP (δ) opioid receptors are blocked at the same time that MOP is activated then analgesia with reduced tolerance results. UFP-505 (H-Dmt-Tic-Gly-NH-Bzl) is a synthetic pseudopeptide that interacts with MOP and DOP receptors (bifunctional). In a series of different models, we have characterized the pharmacological profile of UFP- 505 and we evaluated its antinociceptive properties in vivo. In Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing human MOP or DOP receptors, UFP-505 presented a full agonism and ultra-low partial agonism respectively. UFP-505 caused a concentration-dependent internalization of MOP receptors, in contrast to morphine. Additionally, UFP-505 caused DOP receptor internalization similar to the full DOP agonist DPDPE. In a series of tail-flick assays using Wistar rats, acute intrathecal (i.t.) 10nmol UFP-505 produced strong antinociception, similar to 10nmol i.t. morphine. After 3 days of repeated administration, UFP-505 did not produce antinociceptive tolerance, in contrast to morphine. In neuronal tissue of treated animals, UFP-505 caused varying changes to opioid receptor mRNA levels, similar to morphine. In the same model, UFP-505 induced MOP and DOP receptor internalization, whereas morphine failed to internalize the MOP receptors. UFP-505 also induced the internalization of MOP and DOP receptors in a novel CHO cell line stably expressing both receptors (produced as part of this project), in contrast to morphine. Collectively this thesis has made a significant contribution to the field in that: 1) an extensive pharmacological in vitro and in vivo characterization is made; 2) a MOPagonist/DOP-partial agonist is shown to produce strong antinociception with no tolerance. Further work on bifunctional opioids may lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms of analgesic tolerance and ligands like UFP-505 are good examples of prototypes for further development.

description: This paper tests three current theories of the phonology-syntax interface – Truckenbrodt (1995), Pak (2008) and Cheng & Downing (2007, 2009) – on the prosody of relative clauses in Chewa. Relative clauses, especially restrictive relative clauses, provide an ideal data set for comparing these theories, as they each make distinct predictions about the optimal phrasing. We show that the asymmetrical phase-edge based approach developed to account for similar Zulu prosodic phrasing by Cheng & Downing also best accounts for the Chewa data.

description: Context. Spitzer Space Telescope observations and dust emission models are used to discuss the distribution of dust and its characteristics in M31. Together with GALEX FUV, NUV, and SDSS images we studied the age dependence of the dust heating process. Methods.Spitzer IRAC/MIPS maps of M31 were matched together and compared to dust emission models allowing to constrain the dust mass, the intensity of the mean radiation field, the abundance of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) particles. The total infrared emission (TIR) was analyzed in function of UV and Optical colors and compared to predictions of models which consider the age-dependent dust heating. Results. We demonstrate that cold-dust component emission dominates the infrared spectral energy distribution of M31. The mean intensity of the radiation field heating the dust is low (typically U<2, where U=1 is the value in the solar surrounding). Due to the lack of submillimetric measurements the dust mass (M_{dust}) is only weakly constrained by the infrared spectrum. We show that across the spiral-ring structure of M31 a fraction >3% of the total dust mass is in PAHs. UV and optical colors are correlated to (TIR/FUV) ratios in \sim 670 pc-sized regions overall the disk of M31, although deviating from the IRX-beta relationship for starburst galaxies. We derived that in 83% of the regions analyzed across the 10kpc ring more than 50% of the energy absorbed by the dust is rediated at λ> 4000 Åand that dust in M31 appears mainly heated by populations a few Gyr old even across the star-forming ring. The attenuation is varying radially peaking near 10kpc and decreasing faster in the inner regions of M31 than in the outer regions. We finally derived the attenuation map of M31 at 6"/px resolution (\sim 100 pc/px along the plane of M31).[abridged]

Locative relatives in Durban Zulu

description: This paper examines locative relatives in Durban Zulu. We show that locative relatives differ from nominal relatives crucially in prosodic phrasing as well as in resumptive pronoun marking. We propose that the best way to account for locative relatives in Zulu is to resort to the old style adjunction analysis of relative clauses, with an empty operator. The system we propose assumes that such an adjunction analysis co-exists with a head-raising analysis, which accounts for the nominal relative clauses.

description: Zero-time biopsies are taken to determine the quality of the donor organ at the time of transplantation. Histological analyses alone have so far not been able to identify parameters that allow the prediction of subsequent rejection episodes or graft survival. This study investigated whether gene expression analyses of zero-time biopsies might support this prediction. Using a well-characterized cohort of 26 zero-time biopsies from renal transplant patients that include 4 living donor (LD) and 22 deceased donor (DD) biopsies that later developed no rejection (Ctrl, n = 7), delayed graft function (DGF, n = 4), cellular (T-cell mediated rejection; TCMR, n = 8), or antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR, n = 7), we analyzed gene expression profiles for different types of subsequent renal transplant complication. To this end, RNA was isolated from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sections and gene expression profiles were quantified. Results were correlated with transplant data and B-cell, and plasma cell infiltration was assessed by immunofluorescence microscopy. Both principal component analysis and clustering analysis of gene expression data revealed marked separation between LDs and DDs. Differential expression analysis identified 185 significant differentially expressed genes (adjusted p < 0.05). The expression of 68% of these genes significantly correlated with cold ischemia time (CIT). Furthermore, immunoglobulins were differentially expressed in zero-time biopsies from transplants later developing rejection (TCMR + ABMR) compared to non-rejected (Ctrl + DGF) transplants. In addition, immunoglobulin expression did not correlate with CIT but was increased in transplants with previous acute renal failure (ARF). In conclusion, gene expression profiles in zero-time biopsies derived from LDs are markedly different from those of DDs. Pre-transplant ARF increased immunoglobulin expression, which might be involved in triggering later rejection events. However, these findings must be confirmed in larger cohorts and the role of early immunoglobulin upregulation in zero-biopsies needs further clarification.
relatives possessives en mbochi (C25)

description: This paper deals with the possessive constructions — either connective or relative — in Mbochi (C25), a Bantu language spoken in Congo-Brazzaville. In Mbochi, as in most languages of the same group (C20), the underlying /CV-/ form of nominal prefixes never surfaces as such but is targeted by two main processes: consonantal dissimilation and vowel elision. Both processes are in complementary distribution and the alternations triggered by them may explain the surface forms of both connective and relative constructions. In order to provide the necessary background for the study of Mbochi relative clauses, the three subject markers of Mbochi are introduced and the main verbal suffixes are also discussed. Thereafter, a detailed presentation and analysis of the relative constructions is given. Finally, we discuss the prosody of these constructions, showing that relative clauses in Mbochi have no particular tonal markers and we propose a model involving superimposed boundary tones to account for their intonation.

description: The papers in this volume were originally presented at the Bantu Relative Clause workshop held in Paris on 8-9 January 2010, which was organized by the French-German cooperative project on the Phonology/Syntax Interface in Bantu Languages (BANTU PSYN). This project, which is funded by the ANR and the DFG, comprises three research teams, based in Berlin, Paris and Lyon. [...] This range of expertise is essential to realizing the goals of our project. Because Bantu languages have a rich phrasal phonology, they have played a central role in the development of theories of the phonology-syntax interface ever since the seminal work from the 1970s on Chimwiini (Kisseberth & Abasheikh 1974) and Haya (Byarushengo et al. 1976). Indeed, half the papers in Inkelas & Zec’s (1990) collection of papers on the phonology-syntax interface deal with Bantu languages. They have naturally played an important role in current debates comparing indirect and direct reference theories of the phonology-syntax interface. Indirect reference theories (e.g., Nespor & Vogel 1986; Selkirk 1986, 1995, 2000, 2009; Kanerva 1990; Truckenbrodt 1995, 1999, 2005, 2007) propose that phonology is not directly conditioned by syntactic information. Rather, the interface is mediated by phrasal prosodic constituents like Phonological Phrase and Intonation Phrase, which need not match any syntactic constituent. In contrast, direct reference theories (e.g., Kaisse 1985; Odden 1995, 1996; Pak 2008; Seidl 2001) argue that phrasal prosodic constituents are superfluous, as phonology can – indeed, must – refer directly to syntactic structure.

description: All of the papers in the volume except one (Kaji) take up some aspect of relative clause construction in some Bantu language. Kaji’s paper aims to account for how Tooro (J12; western Uganda) lost phonological tone through a comparative study of the tone systems of other western Uganda Bantu languages. The other papers examine a range of ways of forming relative clauses, often including non-restrictive relatives and clefts, in a wide range of languages representing a variety of prosodic systems.

Opacity is a matter of representation: Shimakonde vowel harmony and vowel reduction
Creators: name: Downing, Laura J.
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2010

description: As work like McCarthy (2002: 128) notes, pre-Optimality Theory (OT) phonology was primarily concerned with representations and theories of subsegmental structure. In contrast, the role of representations and choice of structural models has received little attention in OT. Some central representational issues of the pre-OT era have, in fact, become moot in OT (McCarthy 2002: 128). Further, as work like Baković (2007) notes, even for assimilatory processes where representation played a central role in the pre-OT era, constraint interaction now carries the main explanatory burden. Indeed, relatively few studies in OT (e.g., Rose 2000; Hargus & Beavert 2006; Huffmann 2005, 2007; Morén 2006) have argued for the importance of phonological representations. This paper intends to contribute to this work by reanalyzing a set of processes related to vowel harmony in Shimakonde, a Bantu language spoken in Mozambique and Tanzania. These processes are of particular interest, as Liphola’s (2001) study argues that they are derivationally opaque and so not amenable to an OT analysis. I show that the opacity disappears given the proper choice of representations for vowel features and a metrical harmony domain.

Some properties of prosodic phrasing in Thompson Salish
Creators: name: Koch, Karsten A.
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2010

description: In Nłeʔkepmxcin, consonant-heavy inventories, lengthy obstruent clusters and widespread glottalization can make potential F0 cues to prosodic phrase boundaries (e.g. boundary tones or declination reset) difficult to observe phonetically. In this paper, I explore a test that exploits one behaviour of phrasefinal consonant clusters to test for prosodic phrasing in Nłeʔkepmxcin clauses. Final /t/ of the 1pl marker kt is aspirated when phrase-final, but not phraseinternally. Use of this test suggests that Thompson Salish speakers parse verbs, arguments and adjuncts into separate phonological phrases. However, complex verbal predicates and complex noun phrases are parsed as single phonological phrases. Implications are discussed, especially in regards to findings that (absence of) pitch accent is not employed to signal the informational categories of Focus and Givenness, even though Nłeʔkepmxcin is a stress language.

Typology of consonantal insertions
Creators: name: Żygis, Marzena
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2010

description: The present study, based on a typological survey of ca. 70 languages, offers a systematization of consonantal insertions by classifying them into three main types: grammatical, phonetic, and prosodic insertions. The three epenthesis types essentially differ from each other in terms of preferred sounds, domains of application, the role of segmental context, their occurrence cross-linguistically, the extent of variation and phonetic explication. The present investigation is significantly different from other analyses of consonantal epentheses in the sense that it neither invokes markedness nor diachronic state of the processes under discussion. Instead, it considers the different nature of the epenthetic segments by referring to the representational levels and/or domains which are relevant for their appearance.

empirical view on raising to subject
Creators: name: Grimm, Scott
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2010

description: This paper employs empirical methods to examine verbs such as seem, for which the traditional raising to subject analysis relates pairs of sentences which differ by taking an infinitival or sentential complement. A corpus-driven investigation of the verbs seem and appear demonstrates that information structure and evidentiality both play a determinate role in the choice between infinitival or sentential complementation. The second half of the paper builds upon the corpus results and examines the implications for the standard claims concerning these constructions. First, pairs of sentences related by the subject-to-subject raising analysis of verbs are often viewed as equivalent. New evidence from indefinite generic subjects shows that whether an indefinite generic subject occurs in the infinitival or sentential complement construction leads to truth-conditional differences. Further implications are explored for the claim that subjects of the infinitival variant may take narrow-scope: once various confounds are controlled for, the subject of the infinitival construction is shown to most naturally take wide-scope.

We show that for every compact surface with boundary, orientable or not, there is an incompressible embedding of the surface into the genus two handlebody. In the orientable case the embedding can be either separating or non-separating. We also consider the case in which the genus two handlebody is replaced by an orientable 3-manifold with a compressible boundary component of genus greater than or equal to two.

usage and distribution of "so" in spontaneous Berlin Kiezdeutsch
Creators: name: Jannedy, Stefanie
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2010

description: In this paper I investigate the usage of the adverb and particle 'so' in spontaneous speech (interviews) collected from 21 speakers of the urban multi-ethnolectal youth language Kiezdeutsch. Speakers from the neighborhoods Kreuzberg and Wedding in Berlin are ranging in age from 14 to 18. The 1454 tokens of so available in the corpus (about 5 hours of speech) were classified into 10 different categories; some were structurally defined while others were defined along dimensions of meaning. Our current results indicate that there are differential usages patterns depending on the speaker's gender and age for some of these categories. Further, it appears that some patterns that have been attributed grammatical meaning may not appear frequently enough to establish a separate meaningful grammatical category. Rather, most instances of this kind of use of so appear to have a hedging function, indicating speakers' non-commitance to a specific circumstance.

How intraoral pressure shapes the voicing contrast in American English and German
Creators: name: Rodgers, Blake
name: Fuchs, Susanne
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2010

description: This study examines intraoral pressure for English and German stops in bilabial and alveolar place of articulation. Our subjects are two speakers of American English and three speakers of German. VOICING is the main phonological contrast under evaluation in both word initial and word final position. For initial stops, a few of the pressure characteristics showed differences between English and German, but on the whole the results point to similar production strategies at both places of articulation in the two different languages. Analysis of the pressure trajectory differences between VOICING categories in initial position raises questions about articulatory differences. In the initial closing gesture, time from start of gesture to closure is roughly equivalent for both categories, but the pressure change is significantly smaller on average for VOICED stops. Final stops, however, present a more complicated picture. German final stops are neutralized to a presumed VOICELESS phonological state. English final /p/ is broadly similar to German /p/, but English /t/ often shows no pressure increase at all which is at odds with the conventional account of phonation termination via pressure increase and loss of pressure differential. The results raise the question of whether the German final stops should be considered VOICELESS or some intermediate form, at least as compared to English final stops.

Food security and insecurity in older adults: A phenomenological ethnographic study
Creators: name: King, AC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: Rural sociology

description: Experiences of food, meals, and eating that are nourishing, enjoyable, and nutritious are crucial for older adults who are seeking to maintain their health and wellbeing while ‘ageing in place’. Food insecurity poses a threat to these aspirations. Although existing research has produced useful insights into food insecurity in older adults, it has not always fully engaged with the highly subjective, complex, and dynamic nature of the phenomenon. The thesis addresses these gaps in knowledge by applying philosophical perspectives from phenomenological ethnography to explore implicit meanings in older adults’ experiences of food, meals, and eating, and then consider their significance for understandings of food security and insecurity in older adults. The thesis takes a phenomenological view of human beings as embedded in lifeworlds characterised by meaningful actions and experiences, including those involving food. Phenomenological ethnographic methods of repeated in-depth interviews, walking interviews, and observation were conducted in the home environments of 21 community dwelling older adults, aged between 72 and 90 years, in rural Tasmania, Australia. Case based analyses informed biographical sketches of these older adults’ rich, varied, and often challenging lives. The main findings were generated by thematic analyses and pertain to four dimensions of the phenomenological lifeworld – subjective, inter-subjective, place-based, and temporal. Exploring subjective dimensions revealed these older adults as highly engaged with food and life. Exploring intersubjective dimensions revealed how older adults’ eating experiences are infused with their social identities and relationships. Exploring place dimensions revealed how older adults’ complex, deep, and nuanced relationships with different places inform their food experiences. Finally, exploring temporal dimensions revealed how time permeates older adults’ eating lives, whether in terms of quotidian activities or the grand sweep of life from childhood to old age. The thesis considers these findings and their significance, and generates new understandings of food security and insecurity in older adults. Perspectives from interpretative phenomenology, anthropology, sociology, and social gerontology are woven iv together to inform a theoretical argument for an interrelationship between food security and ontological security in older adults’ lives. The contribution of the doctoral thesis lies in developing a more in-depth and substantial theoretical perspective on food security and insecurity in older adults, which has implications for policy and practice. The thesis reveals rural older adults who are engaging with food and life with considerable perseverance, resilience, and agency, even in the face of bodily and social contingencies of ageing.
Articulatory and acoustic inter-speaker variability in the production of German vowels
Creators: name: Weirich, Melanie
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2010

description: This study examines articulatory and acoustic inter-speaker variability in the production of the German vowels /i/, /u/ and /a/. Our subjects are 3 monozygotic twin pairs (2 female and 1 male pair) and 2 dizygotic female twin pairs. All of them were born, raised and are still living in Berlin and see their twin brother or sister regularly. We assume that monozygotic twins that are genetically identical and share the same physiology should be more similar in their articulation than dizygotic twins but that the shared time and social environment of twins, regardless of their genetic similarity, also plays a crucial role in the acoustic similarity of twins. Articulatory measurements were made with EMA (Electromagnetic Articulography) and the target positions of the produced vowels were analyzed. Additionally, the formants F1-F4 of each vowel were measured and compared within the twin pairs. Our data seems to point out the importance of a shared environment and the strong influence of learning over the anatomical identity of the monozygotic twins regarding the production of vowels. But, additional results suggest (1) the impact of physiology on the production of a vowel following a velar consonant and (2) the interaction of physiology and stress in inter-speaker variability.

Glottal marking of vowel-initial words in German
Creators: name: Pompino-Marschall, Bernd
name: Żygis, Marzena
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2010

description: Glottal marking of vowel-initial German words by glottalization and glottal stop insertion were investigated in dependence on speech rate, word type (content vs. function words), word accent, phrasal position and the following vowel. The analysed material consisted of speeches of Konrad Adenauer, Thomas Mann and Richard von Weizsäcker. The investigation shows that not only the left boundary of accented syllables (including phrasal stress boundary) and lexical words favour glottal stops/glottalization, but also that the segmental level appears to have a strong impact on these insertion processes. Specifically, the results show that low vowels in contrast to non-low ones favour glottal stops/glottalization even before non-accented syllables and functional words.

Critical Boolean networks with scale-free in-degree distribution

description: We investigate analytically and numerically the dynamical properties of critical Boolean networks with power-law in-degree distributions. When the exponent of the in-degree distribution is larger than 3, we obtain results equivalent to those obtained for networks with fixed in-degree, e.g., the number of the non-frozen nodes scales as $N^{2/3}$ with the system size $N$. When the exponent of the distribution is between 2 and 3, the number of the non-frozen nodes increases as $N^x$, with $x$ being between 0 and 2/3 and depending on the exponent and on the cutoff of the in-degree distribution. These and ensuing results explain various findings obtained earlier by computer simulations.

Zoom-Whirl Orbits in Black Hole Binaries

description: Zoom-whirl behavior has the reputation of being a rare phenomenon. The concern has been that gravitational radiation would drain angular momentum so rapidly that generic orbits would circularize before zoom-whirl behavior could play out, and only rare highly tuned orbits would retain their imprint. Using full numerical relativity, we catch zoom-whirl behavior despite dissipation. The larger the mass ratio, the longer the pair can spend in orbit before merging and therefore the more zooms and whirls seen. Larger spins also enhance zoom-whirliness. An important implication is that these eccentric orbits can merge during a whirl phase, before enough angular momentum has been lost to truly circularize the orbit. Waveforms will be modulated by the harmonics of zoom-whirls, showing quiet phases during zooms and louder glitches during whirls.

A Law Unto Themselves? Australian Regulation of Forestry Operations
Creators: name: Baxter, Thomas
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: Environmental law

description: This thesis critically examines federal environmental regulation of Australian forestry, particularly the exclusion of forestry operations in regional forest agreement [RFA] regions from Australia’s omnibus Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) [EPBC Act]. The thesis tests: governments’ official rationale for this exclusionary policy (which it terms ‘RFA exceptionalism’); and where it leaves Australian compliance with key international environmental treaty obligations. Australia’s federal and State governments and industry assert that RFAs (governed by the Regional Forest Agreement Act 2002 (Cth)) provide equivalent environmental protection to the EPBC Act. Therefore, they say, forestry operations in RFA regions do not require EPBC Act assessment. The thesis tests this justification for RFA exceptionalism by doctrinal analysis and case studies. In particular, it assesses the Tasmanian RFA against two key objects of the EPBC Act ss 3(1)(a), (e), to: • ‘provide for the protection of the environment, especially … matters of national environmental significance’; and • ‘assist in the co-operative implementation of Australia’s international environmental responsibilities’. The thesis proves that RFAs do not provide equivalent protection to the EPBC Act. Hence, that claimed justification for excluding RFA forestry operations from the EPBC Act is a false premise. Moreover, the Australian Government has, through the RFA regime: • left forestry regulation to the States; and • thereby, abdicated its responsibility to ensure Australia fulfils its international obligations. Federal environmental regulation of Australian forestry appears a case of ‘systemic capture’. Law reform is therefore recommended to repeal RFA exceptionalism, in order to promote a level playing field and fulfilment of Australia’s treaty obligations.
Outline of the foundations for a theory of implicatures
Creators: name: Benz, Anton
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2009

description: In this paper, we outline the foundations of a theory of implicatures. It divides into two parts. The first part contains the base model. It introduces signalling games, optimal answer models, and a general definition of implicatures in terms of natural information. The second part contains a refinement in which we consider noisy communication with efficient clarification requests. Throughout, we assume a fully cooperative speaker who knows the information state of the hearer. The purpose of this paper is not the study of examples. Our concern is the framework for doing these studies.

History and grammaticalisation of "doch"/"toch"
Creators: name: Zeevat, Henk
name: Karagjosova, Elena
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2009

description: The paper investigates the origins of the German/Dutch particle toch/doch) in the hope of shedding light on a puzzle with respect to doch/toch and to shed some light on two theoretical issues. The puzzle is the nearly opposite meaning of the stressed and unstressed versions of the particle which cannot be accounted for in standard theories of the meaning of stress. One theoretical issue concerns the meaning of stress: whether it is possible to reduce the semantic contribution of a stressed item to the meaning of the item and the meaning of stress. The second issue is whether the complex use of a particle like doch/toch can be seen as an instance of spread or whether it has to be seen as having a core meaning which is differentiated by pragmatics operating in different contexts. We use the etymology of doch and doch as to+u+h (that+ question marker+ emphatic marker) to argue for an origin as a question tag checking a hearer opinion. Stress on the tag indicates an opposite opinion (of the common ground or the speaker) and this sets apart two groups of uses spreading in different directions. This solves the puzzle, indicates that the assumption of spread is useful and offers a subtle correction of the interpretation of stress. While stress always means contrast with a contrasting item, if the particle use is due to spread, it is not guaranteed that the unstressed particle has a corresponding use (or inversely).

epistemic interpretation of bidirectional optimality based on signaling games
Creators: name: Franke, Michael
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2009

description: To some, the relation between bidirectional optimality theory and game theory seems obvious: strong bidirectional optimality corresponds to Nash equilibrium in a strategic game (Dekker and van Rooij 2000). But in the domain of pragmatics this formally sound parallel is conceptually inadequate: the sequence of utterance and its interpretation cannot be modelled reasonably as a strategic game, because this would mean that speakers choose formulations independently of a meaning that they want to express, and that hearers choose an interpretation irrespective of an utterance that they have observed. Clearly, the sequence of utterance and interpretation requires a dynamic game model. One such model, and one that is widely studied and of manageable complexity, is a signaling game. This paper is therefore concerned with an epistemic interpretation of bidirectional optimality, both strong and weak, in terms of beliefs and strategies of players in a signaling game. In particular, I suggest that strong optimality may be regarded as a process of internal self-monitoring and that weak optimality corresponds to an iterated process of such self-monitoring. This latter process can be derived by assuming that agents act rationally to (possibly partial) beliefs in a self-monitoring opponent.
