description: Cet article retrace une sorte d’itinéraire des recherches menées par l’auteure sur les biographies langagières, en tant qu’objet de recherche mais surtout en tant qu’objet de formation auprès de futurs enseignants de français langue étrangère et seconde. Partant des apports de la démarche biographique dans la formation d’un enseignant réflexif, l’article se propose d’étudier des fragments biographiques recueillis auprès d’étudiants, futurs enseignants de FLES, et de les analyser à partir des 3 étapes envisagés par Causa (2012) dans le travail de mise en place d’une éducation au(x) plurilinguisme(s) en formation initiale d’enseignants de/en langues. Quels sont les indices dans les récits des biographés de prise de conscience et de transformation des expériences plurilingues en connaissance et compétences professionnelles ? La biografia linguistica: da oggetto di ricerca alla formazione degli insegnanti di lingue. resoconto delle esperienze di un insegnante-ricercatore in didattica del francese come lingua straniera e seconda lingua (FLES) Questo articolo ripercorre, in una sorta di itinerario, le ricerche dell’autrice sulle biografie linguistiche come oggetto di ricerca ma soprattutto come oggetto di formazione per i futuri insegnanti di francese lingua straniera e seconda (FLES). Sulla base dei contributi dell’approccio biografico per la formazione di un insegnante riflessivo, l’articolo si propone di studiare i frammenti biografici di studenti, futuri insegnanti di FLES, di analizzarli sulla base delle 3 fasi previste da Causa (2012) nel lavoro di impostazione della formazione al plurilinguismo e nella formazione iniziale degli insegnanti di lingua e di rilevare, nei racconti biografici, gli indizi della consapevolezza e della trasformazione delle esperienze plurilingui in conoscenze e competenze professionali. The language biography: a research object is the training of language teachers. An account of the experiences of A French FL/L2 teacher-researcher This article retraces, in a sort of itinerary, the author’s research on language biographies as an object of study, but above all as an object of training for future teachers of French as a foreign and second language (FLES). Based on the contributions of the biographical approach for reflective teacher training, the article analyzes biographical fragments of students, future FLES teachers on the basis of the 3 phases set out by Causa (2012) in the setting up training for multilingualism, in the initial training of language teachers and detects, in the biographical stories, the clues of awareness and transformation of multilingual experiences into professional knowledge and skills.

description: Neglecting the second order corrections in weak lensing measurements can lead to a few percent uncertainties on cosmic shears, and becomes more important for cluster lensing mass reconstructions. Existing methods which claim to measure the reduced shears are not necessarily accurate to the second order when a point spread function (PSF) is present. We show that the method of Zhang (2008) exactly measures the reduced shears at the second order level in the presence of PSF. A simple theorem is provided for further confirming our calculation, and for judging the accuracy of any shear measurement method at the second order based on its properties at the first order. The method of Zhang (2008) is well defined mathematically. It does not require assumptions on the morphologies of galaxies and the PSF. To reach a sub-percent level accuracy, the CCD pixel size is required to be not larger than 1/3 of the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of the PSF. Using a large ensemble (> 10^7) of mock galaxies of unrestricted morphologies, we find that contaminations to the shear signals from the noise of background photons can be removed in a well defined way because they are not correlated with the source shapes. The residual shear measurement errors due to background noise are consistent with zero at the sub-percent level even when the amplitude of such noise reaches about 1/10 of the source flux within the half-light radius of the source. This limit can in principle be extended further with a larger galaxy ensemble in our simulations. On the other hand, the source Poisson noise remains to be a cause of systematic errors. For a sub-percent level accuracy, our method requires the amplitude of the source Poisson noise to be less than 1/80 ~ 1/100 of the source flux within the half-light radius of the source, corresponding to collecting roughly 10^4 source photons.

description: Depuis des années, les études internationales sur la qualité de l’éducation mettent en évidence que la formation des personnels enseignants constitue la variable principale déterminant l’efficacité des systèmes scolaires. Or, l’hyperdiversité des sociétés actuelles, en par conséquent la complexité des tâches que les enseignants sont amenés à accomplir, impose de nouvelles cultures éducatives et une approche critique de la formation. Ces considérations nous ont persuadés de la nécessité de munir les enseignants de points de repère qui les aideraient à s’orienter. C’est sur la base de cette conviction que nous nous sommes lancés dans le projet d’élaborer un Cadre de Référence pour la formation des enseignants aux approches plurielles en étant conscients de la difficulté à fournir un instrument qui puisse satisfaire les exigences extrêmement diversifiées des contextes éducatifs. Dans cette contribution nous présentons la genèse de ce projet et son état d’avancement à l’heure actuelle. Il ruolo dei quadri di riferimento in un approccio riflessivo alla formazione degli insegnanti di lingue: strumenti di standardizzazione o risorse per lo sviluppo professionale? Gli studi internazionali sulla qualità dell'istruzione individuano la formazione degli insegnanti come il principale fattore che contribuisce a determinare l'efficacia dei sistemi scolastici. La complessità delle società attuali impone però l’elaborazione di nuove culture educative e un ripensamento critico del ruolo dell’insegnante e della sua formazione in particolare nell’ambito dell’educazione linguistica. È sulla base di queste considerazioni che abbiamo intrapreso il progetto di sviluppare un Quadro di riferimento per la formazione degli insegnanti agli approcci plurali. In questo contributo presentiamo la genesi di questo progetto e i risultati finora raggiunti. The role of frameworks in a reflective approach to language teacher training: standardization tools or resources for professional development? International studies on education show that teachers’ professional development is the main factor contributing to the quality of school systems. The complexity of today’s societies, though, requires the development of new educational cultures and a critical reconsideration of the role of teachers, especially in language education. On the basis of these considerations we initiated the project to develop A framework of reference for teacher education in pluralistic approaches. In this contribution we present the genesis of this project and the results achieved so far.

Open quotient (EGG) measurements of young and elderly voices: results of a production and perception study

Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: This paper presents the results of Open Quotient measurements in EGG signals of young (18 to 30 year old) and elderly (59 to 82 year old) male and female speakers. The paper further presents quantitative results on the relation between the OQ and the perception of a speaker's age. Higgins & Saxman (1991) found a decreased OQEGG with increasing age for females, whereas the OQEGG in sustained vowel material increased for males as the speakers age increased. In Linville (2002), however, the spectral amplitudes in the region of F0 (obtained by LTAS-measurements of read speech material) increased with increasing age independent of gender; this could be interpreted indirectly as an increasing OQ. We measured the OQEGG not only for sustained vowels, but also in vowels taken from isolated words. In order to analyse the relation between breathiness in terms of an increased OQ and the mean perceived age per stimulus a perception test was carried out in which listeners were asked to estimate speaker's age based on sustained /a/-vowel stimuli varying in vocal effort (soft - normal - loud) during production. The results indicated the following: (i) The decreased OQ for elderly females originally found by Higgins & Saxman is not apparent in our data for sustained /a/-vowels. For our female speakers no significant difference between the OQ of young and old speakers was found; for elderly males, however, we also found an increasing OQ with increasing age.(ii) In addition, a statistically significant increased OQEGG occurs for the group of the elderly males for the vowels from the word material. (iii) Our results show a strong positive relation between perceived age and OQ in male voices. Regarding (i) and (ii), at least the male speaker's voice becomes more breathy as age increases. Considering (iii), increased breathiness may contribute to the listener’s perception of increased age.

description: The development, support and recognition of plurilingual competence, in other words a person´s ability to perform successfully in a plurilingual setting, required school curricula to include not only the instruction of at least two foreign languages (e.g. Italian and English as foreign languages) within one course but also a corresponding exam format. We will outline the guidelines for and challenges of a plurilingual syllabus, explore the concepts of bilingualism, plurilingualism and multilingualism and give clear examples of what we believe an oral plurilingual examination should look like. Guidelines for teachers on how to develop competence-oriented plurilingual tasks will also be accompanied by the necessary test specifications. In addition, 14 possible situations for examinations are provided. An assessment grid and examples of test papers complete the document on bilingual competences and their simultaneous evaluation in two foreign languages. Dall’insegnamento plurilingue all’esame plurilingue Lo sviluppo, il supporto e il riconoscimento della competenza plurilingue, in altre parole della capacità di una persona di muoversi con successo in un ambiente plurilingue, ha richiesto che i programmi scolastici includessero non solo l’insegnamento di almeno due lingue straniere (ad es. italiano e inglese come lingue straniere) all’interno del curricolo di studi, ma anche un corrispondente formato d’esame. In questo contributo descriveremo le linee guida e le sfide di un programma plurilingue, esploreremo i concetti di bilinguismo, plurilinguismo e multilinguismo e forniremo esempi chiari di come crediamo che dovrebbe essere un esame plurilingue orale. Le linee guida per gli insegnanti su come sviluppare compiti plurilinguistici orientati alle competenze saranno inoltre accompagnate dalle necessarie specifiche indicazioni per l’esame. Inoltre, sono previste 14 possibili situazioni per gli esami. Una griglia di valutazione ed esempi di prove d’esame completano il documento sulle competenze bilingui e la loro valutazione simultanea in due lingue straniere.

RADICI E SCONFINAMENTI. AUTOBIOGRAFIE LINGUISTICHE NELLA MIGRAZIONE

description: Nelle biografie di chi migra il tema della lingua è centrale. A seguito del viaggio, le lingue si perdono, si guadagnano, si mescolano, s’inaridiscono o si vivificano reciprocamente. Il contributo propone alcune riflessioni grazie a esempi e frammenti di autobiografie linguistiche di chi ha attraversato i confini. Lo fa dando voce ai protagonisti, ad alcuni scrittori migranti che ripercorrono le tappe e i colori del loro essere diventati bilingui o plurilingui. Si ritrovano nelle loro storie gli eventi /confine che hanno segnato i passaggi e i cambiamenti; le fatiche e l’orgoglio di essere due (due storie, due riferimenti, due lingue); la nostalgia e lo smarrimento per le parole perdute e la creatività e l’orgoglio di poter dire il mondo con voci diverse. I cammini linguistici di scrittori migranti, che scrivono in italiano, possono essere esempio e rispecchiamento delle storie linguistiche di tutti. Parlare di sé, del proprio idioma materno, disvelare l’autobiografia linguistica significa valorizzare apporti e competenze e praticare il riconoscimento reciproco. Roots and intrusions. Linguistic autobiographies in migration In the biographies of those who migrate, the theme of language is central. As a result of their journey, languages are lost, gained, mixed, dried up or revitalized. This contribution proposes some reflections thanks to examples and fragments of linguistic autobiographies of those who have crossed borders. It does so by giving voice to the protagonists, migrant writers who retraced the stages and colors of their becoming bilingual or multilingual. In their stories are the events / borders that marked their steps and changes; the hardships and pride of being “two” (two histories, two points of reference, two languages); the nostalgia and bewilderment for lost words and the creativity and pride of being able to communicate the world with different voices. The linguistic paths of migrant writers who write in Italian are an example and a reflection of the linguistic stories of everyone. Talking about oneself, about one's mother tongue, revealing one’s linguistic autobiography, means valuing contributions, skills and practicing mutual recognition.

The measure is a function of the SLE path in question. Assuming that boundary measures transform in a ``d-dimensional'' way (where d is the Hausdorff dimension of gamma intersected with R), we show that the measure we construct is (up to multiplicative constant) the unique measure-valued function of the SLE path that satisfies the Domain Markov property.

AUTO/BIOGRAPHICAL APPROACHES FOR A POST-CARTESIAN MODEL OF PLURILINGUALISM
Creators: name: Coffey, Simon
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2021

description: In this article I review some of the trends in auto/biographical research in language education and frame these within the wider context of how ‘education’ and ‘learning’ have been learnt within national systems, and subsequently how knowledge has been constructed as a cognitive enterprise. I argue that, despite conceptual reframing within research-based fields such as sociolinguistics where constructs such as ‘linguistic repertoire’ encourage recognition of fluidity and instability, the Cartesian boundaries fixed between mind and body echo in the tensions between subjective emotions and generalised rationality, and in the compartmentalising of different languages linked to discrete spaces. Using models of inquiry that are increasingly innovative and multi-faceted, auto/biographical work with languages students and teachers opens a space for fruitful deconstruction of these boundaries. Approcci autobiografici per un modello post-cartesiano di plurilinguismo In questo articolo passo in rassegna alcune delle tendenze della ricerca autobiografica nell’educazione linguistica e le inquadro nel più ampio contesto di come “educazione” e “apprendimento” sono stati appresi all’interno dei sistemi nazionali, e successivamente come la conoscenza è stata costruita come impresa cognitiva. Sostengo che, nonostante la riformulazione concettuale all’interno di campi di ricerca come la sociolinguistica, dove costrutti come “repertorio linguistico” favoriscono il riconoscimento della fluidità e dell’instabilità, i confini cartesiani fissati tra mente e corpo riecheggiano nelle tensioni tra emozioni soggettive e razionalità generalizzata, e nella compartimentazione dei diversi linguaggi legati a spazi discreti. L’utilizzo di modelli di indagine sempre più innovativi e sfaccettati, il lavoro autobiografico con gli studenti e gli insegnanti di lingue apre uno spazio per una proficua decostruzione di questi confini.

I talked to my tree and my tree talked back: radical environmental activists and their relationships with nature
Creators: name: Cianchi, JP
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: Environmental sociology

description: This thesis is about the relationship between radical environmental activists and nature. It investigates whether, for forest and whaling activists, nature is experienced as an active, as opposed to passive, participant in the construction and shaping of their identity and activism. Two research questions guide the investigation: what are radical environmental activists’ perspectives and lived experiences of nature, and what identity and meaning-making processes are involved in the relational dynamics between these activists and the nature they are defending? The concepts ‘nature’, ‘self-identity’ and ‘more-than-human agency’ are developed into an analytical framework to support the investigation. A phenomenological perspective guides the inquiry’s focus on the research participants’ lived experiences of defending nature, their changing self-identities and the ways they construct meaning about their lifeworlds. Forest activists engaged in direct action campaigns designed to prevent clear-felling of old growth forests in Tasmania, and Sea Shepherd Conservation Society activists undertaking campaigns in the Southern Ocean to protect whales, participated in in-depth qualitative interviews. A thematic analysis was employed that aims to uncover the phenomenological themes, or experiential elements, of the participants’ experiences. The inquiry’s findings contribute to environmentalism scholarship and the study of nature-human relationships. They also demonstrate the need to appreciate the role of nature as an active contributor to activist self-identity and culture.

description: This paper explores whether Eguchi-Kawai reduction for gauge theories with adjoint fermions is valid. The Eguchi-Kawai reduction relates gauge theories in different numbers of dimensions in the large $N$ limit provided that certain conditions are met. In principle, this relation opens up the possibility of learning about the dynamics of 4D gauge theories through techniques only available in lower dimensions. Dimensional reduction can be understood as a special case of large $N$ equivalence between theories related by an orbifold projection. In this work, we focus on the simplest case of dimensional reduction, relating a 4D gauge theory to a 3D gauge theory via an orbifold projection. A necessary condition for the large N equivalence between the 4D and 3D theories to hold is that certain discrete symmetries in the two theories must not be broken spontaneously. In pure 4D Yang-Mills theory, these symmetries break spontaneously as the size of one of the spacetime dimensions shrinks. An analysis of the effect of adjoint fermions on the relevant symmetries of the 4D theory shows that the fermions help stabilize the symmetries. We consider the same problem from the point of view of the lower dimensional 3D theory and find that, surprisingly, adjoint fermions are not generally enough to stabilize the necessary symmetries of the 3D theory. In fact, a rich phase diagram arises, with a complicated pattern of symmetry breaking. We discuss the possible causes and consequences of this finding.

Moreover, we investigate degrees of generators and relations for Cox rings of K3-surfaces of Picard number two, and explicitly compute the Cox rings of generic K3-surfaces with a non-symplectic involution that have Picard number 2 to 5 or occur as double covers of del Pezzo surfaces.

On the invariance of speech percepts
Creators: name: Serniclaes, Willy
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: A fundamental question in the study of speech is about the invariance of the ultimate percepts, or features. The present paper gives an overview of the noninvariance problem and offers some hints towards a solution. Examination of various data on place and voicing perception suggests the following points. Features correspond to natural boundaries between sounds, which are included in the infant's predispositions for speech perception. Adult percepts arise from couplings and contextual interactions between features. Both couplings and interactions contribute to invariance. But this is at the expense of profound qualitative changes in perceptual boundaries implying that features are neither independently nor invariantly perceived. The question then is to understand the principles which guide feature couplings and interactions during perceptual development. The answer might reside in the fact that: (1) adult boundaries converge to a single point of the perceptual space, suggesting a context-free central reference; (2) this point corresponds to the neutral vocoïd, suggesting the reference is related to production; (3) at this point perceptual boundaries correspond to the natural ones, suggesting the reference is anchored in predispositions for feature perception. In sum, perceptual invariance seems to be grounded on a radial representation of the vocal tract around a singular point at which boundaries are context-fee, natural and coincide with the neutral vocoïd.

Towards a 3D articulatory model of velum based on MRI and CT images
Creators: name: Serrurier, Antoine
name: Badin, Pierre
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: This paper describes the processing of MRI and CT images needed for developing a 3D linear articulatory model of velum. The 3D surface that defines each organ constitutive of the vocal and nasal tracts is extracted from MRI and CT images recorded on a subject uttering a corpus of artificially sustained French vowels and consonants. First, the 2D contours of the organs have been manually extracted from the corresponding images, expanded into 3D contours, and aligned in a common 3D coordinate system. Then, for each organ, a generic mesh has been chosen and fitted by elastic deformation to each of the 46 3D shapes of the corpus. This has finally resulted in a set of organ surfaces sampled with the same number of 3D vertices for each articulation, which is appropriate for Principal Component Analysis or linear decomposition. The analysis of these data has uncovered two main uncorrelated articulatory degrees of freedom for the velum's movement. The associated parameters are used to control the model. We have in particular investigated the question of a possible correlation between jaw / tongue and velum's movement and have not find more correlation than the one found in the corpus.

description: This study employed Fourier Transform near-infrared spectrometry to assess the quality of vecuronium bromide, a neuromuscular blocking agent. Spectral data from two lots of vecuronium were collected and analyzed using the BEST metric, principal component analysis (PCA) and other statistical techniques. The results showed that there was variability between the two lots and within each lot. Several outliers in the spectral data suggested potential differences in the chemical composition or sample condition of the vials. The outliers were identified and their spectral features were examined. A total of eight unique outliers were found in the PC space from PCs 1 to 9, so 22% of the total vials were outliers. The study findings suggest that the manufacturing process of vecuronium bromide may have been operating outside of a state of process control. Further investigation is needed to determine the source of these variations and their impact on the safety and efficacy of the drug product.

description: This paper contributes to the understanding of vocal folds oscillation during phonation. In order to test theoretical models of phonation, a new experimental set-up using a deformable vocal folds replica is presented. The replica is shown to be able to produce self sustained oscillations under controlled experimental conditions. Therefore different parameters, such as those related to elasticity, to acoustical coupling or to the subglottal pressure can be quantitatively studied. In this work we focused on the oscillation fundamental frequency and the upstream pressure in order to start (on-set threshold) either end (off-set threshold) oscillations in presence of a downstream acoustical resonator. As an example, it is shown how this data can be used in order to test the theoretical predictions of a simple one-mass model.

Von Kempelen et al.: remarks on the history of articulatory-acoustic modelling
Creators: name: Pompino-Marschall, Bernd
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: The contribution of von Kempelen's "Mechanism of Speech" to the 'phonetic sciences' will be analyzed with respect to his theoretical reasoning on speech and speech production on the one hand and on the other in connection with his practical insights during his struggle in constructing a speaking machine. Whereas in his theoretical considerations von Kempelen's view is focussed on the natural functioning of the speech organs – cf. his membraneous glottis model – in constructing his speaking machine he clearly orientates himself towards the auditory result – cf. the bag pipe model for the sound generator used for the speaking machine instead. Concerning vowel production his theoretical description remains questionable, but his practical insight that vowels and speech sounds in general are only perceived correctly in connection with their surrounding sounds – i.e. the discovery of coarticulation – is clearly a milestone in the development of the phonetic sciences: He therefore dispenses with the Kratzenstein tubes, although they might have been based on more thorough acoustic modelling. Finally, von Kempelen's model of speech production will be discussed in relation to the discussion of the acoustic nature of vowels afterwards [Willis and Wheatstone as well as von Helmholtz and Hermann in the 19th century and Stumpf, Chiba & Kajiyama as well as Fant and Ungeheuer in the 20th century].

Towards functional modelling of relationships between the acoustics and perception of vowels
Creators: name: Pfitzinger, Hartmut R.
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: This paper summarizes our research efforts in functional modelling of the relationship between the acoustic properties of vowels and perceived vowel quality. Our model is trained on 164 short steady-state stimuli. We measured F1, F2, and additionally F0 since the effect of F0 on perceptual vowel height is evident. 40 phonetically skilled subjects judged vowel quality using the Cardinal Vowel diagram. The main focus is on refining the model and describing its transformation properties between the F1/F2 formant chart and the Cardinal Vowel diagram. An evaluation of the model based on 48 additional vowels showed the generalizability of the model and confirmed that it predicts perceived vowel quality with sufficient accuracy.

LA PUNTEGGIATURA INTERATTIVA NEGLI ELABORATI SCOLASTICI. SPUNTI PER UNA RIFLESSIONE IN PROSPETTIVA DIDATTICA

description: L’articolo esamina gli usi dei segni interpuntivi interattivi (punto interrogativo, punto esclamativo, puntini di sospensione, virgolette) nella scrittura degli apprendenti di italiano L1 in età scolare. L’analisi è basata sui dati offerti dal corpus TIscrivo, un corpus di elaborati scritti da apprendenti delle scuole elementari e medie del Cantone Ticino. L’obiettivo che ci si propone è duplice: (i) descrivere in termini generali l’uso dei segni interattivi nella testualità degli apprendenti, con l’ausilio di dati quantitativi relativi alle diverse fasce di età rappresentate nel corpus; (ii) individuare i principali punti critici che l’impiego di questi segni presenta nella pratica scolastica, così da fornire spunti utili a guidare le scelte didattiche di chi opera in classe. Si intende in questo modo colmare un vuoto sostanziale nel panorama degli studi sulla punteggiatura in contesto scolastico, che tendono a concentrarsi sui soli segni segmentanti (virgola, punto e virgola, due punti ecc.) trascurando i problemi relativi ai segni interattivi: problemi che, come si mostra nell’articolo, sono invece numerosi e riguardano sia il versante formale sia quello semantico-pragmatico dell’uso interpuntivo. Interactive punctuation in school papers. Reflections from a didactic perspective The paper examines the uses of interactive punctuation marks (i.e. question mark, exclamation mark, ellipsis, quotation marks) in texts written by Italian school-age L1 learners. The analysis is based on the data offered by the TIscrivo corpus, a collection of papers written by elementary and middle school students from Canton Ticino. The aim of the study is twofold: firstly, to describe in general terms the use of interactive punctuation marks in students’ texts, with the help of quantitative data relating to the age groups represented in the corpus; secondly, to identify the main critical points of the use of these punctuation marks in school papers, so as to provide insights that might guide teachers’ didactic choices. In this way, we intend to fill a substantial gap in the panorama of studies on punctuation at school, which tend to focus only on segmentational marks (i.e. comma, semicolon, colon, etc.) and neglect the problems related to interactive marks. These problems, as the paper shows, are numerous and concern both the formal and the semantic-pragmatic side of punctuation usage.

description: Wave properties and instabilities in a magnetized, anisotropic, collisionless, rarefied hot plasma in fluid approximation are studied, using the 16-moments set of the transport equations obtained from the Vlasov equations. These equations differ from the CGL-MHD fluid model (single fluid equations by Chew, Goldberger, and Low, 1956) by including two anisotropic heat flux evolution equations, where the fluxes invalidate the double polytropic CGL laws. We derived the general dispersion relation for linear compressible wave modes. Besides the classic incompressible fire hose modes there appear four types of compressible wave modes: two fast and slow mirror modes - strongly modified compared to the CGL model - and two thermal modes. In the presence of initial heat fluxes along the magnetic field the wave properties become different for the waves running forward and backward with respect to the magnetic field. The well known discrepancies between the results of the CGL-MHD fluid model and the kinetic theory are now removed: i) The mirror slow mode instability criterion is now the same as that in the kinetic theory. ii) Similarly, in kinetic studies there appear two kinds of fire hose instabilities - incompressible and compressible ones. These two instabilities can arise for the same plasma parameters, and the instability of the new compressible oblique fire hose modes can become dominant. The compressible fire hose instability is the result of the resonance coupling of three retrograde modes - two thermal modes and a fast mirror mode. The results can be applied to the theory of solar and stellar coronal and wind models.

Control and representations in speech production
Creators: name: Perrier, Pascal
Publisher: name: ZAS Papers in Linguistics
Year: 2005

description: In this paper the issue of the nature of the representations of the speech production task in the speaker's brain is addressed in a production-perception interaction framework. Since speech is produced to be perceived, it is hypothesized that its production is associated for the speaker with the generation of specific physical characteristics that are for the listeners the objects of speech perception. Hence, in the first part of the paper, four reference theories of speech perception are presented, in order to guide and to constrain the search for possible correlates of the speech production task in the physical space: the Acoustic Invariance Theory, the Adaptive Variability Theory, the Motor Theory and the Direct-Realist Theory. Possible interpretations of these theories in terms of representations of the speech production task are proposed and analyzed. In a second part, a few selected experimental studies are presented, which shed some light on this issue. In the conclusion, on the basis of the joint analysis of theoretical and experimental aspects presented in the paper, it is proposed that representations of the speech production task are multimodal, and that a hierarchy exists among the different modalities, the acoustic modality having the highest level of priority. It is also suggested that these representations are not associated with invariant characteristics, but with regions of the acoustic, orosensory and motor control spaces.

description: Modifications to the classic time-delay effect and Doppler shift in General Relativity (GR) are studied in the context of the Lorentz-violating Standard-Model Extension (SME). We derive the leading Lorentz-violating corrections to the time-delay and Doppler shift signals, for a light ray passing near a massive body. It is demonstrated that anisotropic coefficients for Lorentz violation control a time-dependent behavior of these signals that is qualitatively different from the conventional case in GR. Estimates of sensitivities to gravity-sector coefficients in the SME are given for current and future experiments, including the recent Cassini solar conjunction experiment.

SCHEMI E MACROSTRUTTURE DEL TESTO ESPOSITIVO: UN RUOLO ATTIVO NELLA COMPRENSIONE
Creators: name: Marinetto, Paola
Publisher: name: Italiano LinguaDue
Year: 2021

description: L’articolo pone l’accento sull’importanza della macrostruttura nella comprensione del testo. Per arrivare alla sua costruzione, la mente compie una serie di operazioni linguistico-cognitive, avvalendosi non solo delle informazioni reperibili nel testo, ma anche di schemi della mente, fra i quali vi sono gli schemi testuali. Nei testi espositivi, dove non è individuabile una struttura testuale forte che guidi la comprensione, sono l’intelaiatura gerarchica delle informazioni e le connessioni logico-testuali tra le parti che aiutano a mettere a fuoco la macrostruttura. Il percorso didattico proposto, di tipo laboratoriale, rivolto a studenti del primo anno di università che devono assolvere agli Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi, cerca di seguire e supportare le tappe del processo di comprensione che portano dall’individuazione della coerenza locale alla rappresentazione semantica globale del testo. Schemes and macrostructures in expository texts: an active role in understanding The article emphasizes the importance of the macrostructure in understanding texts. The mind performs a series of linguistic-cognitive operations, making use not only of information found in texts, but also mental schemes which include textual schemes. In expository texts, where a strong textual structure that guides comprehension cannot be identified, the hierarchical framing of information and the logical-textual connections between the parts help to bring the macrostructure into focus. The proposed workshop, for first year university students who need to fulfill the Additional Educational Obligations, tries to follow and support the stages of the comprehension process, from the identification of local coherence to the global semantic meaning of the text.

description: L’obiettivo di questo articolo è quello di indagare la dimensione linguistico-comunicativa della matematica in un genere testuale fondamentale in didattica: il libro di testo. Nello specifico, verranno osservate parti selezionate di un corpus di testi scolastici di matematica per la scuola primaria e secondaria di primo grado al fine di descriverne e analizzarne le caratteristiche strutturali e compositive. Più in particolare, lo scopo è quello di proporre un modello di articolazione dei libri scolastici di matematica, che prenda le mosse dai più recenti studi di linguistica testuale, individuandone le unità compositive basilari e caratterizzanti: ciò risulta fondamentale per poter valutare l’adeguatezza dei testi stessi per i loro destinatari, e per avviare ulteriori indagini su aspetti matematici e linguistici mirati. Quest’analisi si inserisce nell’ambito del progetto Italmatica. Comprendere la matematica a scuola tra lingua comune e linguaggio specialistico (sostenuto dal Fondo Nazionale Svizzero per la Ricerca Scientifica), che non ha solo un fine descrittivo, ma si prefigge anche di indagare se e come determinate scelte linguistico-testuali possono avere effetti sulla comprensione e sull’acquisizione del sapere matematico da parte di allieve e allievi. The architecture of the school textbook of mathematics for primary and secondary schools The aim of this article is to investigate the linguistic-communicative dimension of mathematics in a text genre crucial in didactics: the textbook. Specifically, we will observe selected parts of mathematics textbooks for primary and secondary school (junior high school), collected in a corpus, in order to describe their structural and compositional characteristics. More specifically, the aim is to propose a model for the articulation of mathematical textbooks, starting from the most recent studies of textual linguistics, identifying their fundamental and characterizing compositional units. This study is necessary in order to assess the suitability of texts for their target audience, as a starting point for further investigations on selected mathematical and linguistic aspects and features. This analysis is part of the Italmatica. Comprendere la matematica a scuola tra lingua comune e linguaggio specialistico (supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation), whose goal is not only descriptive, but also to investigate whether and how certain linguistic and textual choices impact on student understanding and the acquisition of mathematical knowledge.
