description: Введение. В условиях развивающейся модели интерпретативной социокультурной ситуации достаточно актуальной становится проблема работы с источниками информации разного рода, в том числе и с изданиями периодической печати (газеты, журналы), соответствующими профилю подготовки специалистов ведомственных вузов Федеральной службы исполнения наказаний (ФСИН). Опыт работы в Кузбасском институте ФСИН России позволяет рассматривать использование текстов ведомственных изданий периодической печати как достаточно эффективный методический прием, способствующий формированию общекультурных компетенций (ОК), а в отдаленной перспективе расширению представления обучающихся о выбранной профессии. Материалы и методы. Представлен анализ отдельных элементов методических разработок аудиторных занятий, направленных на формирование общекультурных компетенций у курсантов ведомственных вузов ФСИН с использованием материалов ведомственных периодических изданий (журналы «Преступление и наказание» и «Ведомости УИС»). Рассматриваются результаты обучения (по принципу оценки остаточных знаний) в рамках дисциплин «Профессиональная этика и служебный этикет» (40.05.02) и «Профессиональная этика» (40.03.01). Результаты и обсуждение. Некоторые приемы использования на занятиях семинарского типа материалов ведомственных изданий периодической печати позволили выявить эффективность применения их в специфической образовательной среде ведомственного вуза ФСИН. На примерах из практического опыта (материалы журнальных статей) рассматривается целесообразность отдельных методических приемов и методик организации аудиторных занятий с обучающимися с использованием неучебных текстов. Проводится анализ проделанной работы с обучающимися (курсантами, слушателями, студентами), и намечаются дальнейшие перспективы использования и совершенствования апробированных методик обучения (реферирование текста, комплексный анализ текста, декодирование текстовых единиц). Выводы. Использование материалов периодической печати на аудиторных занятиях может способствовать расширению информационного поля учебников и учебных пособий, рекомендованных Министерством образования, поскольку они содержат дополнительные материалы (графики, схемы, таблицы, цитаты, статистику), необходимые для оптимизации учебного процесса в целом. Кроме того, для изучения любого материала в динамике представляется возможность проведения сравнительно-исторического анализа информации отдельных рубрик журналов на протяжении достаточно длительного отрезка времени.

description: We study Dirac neutrinos propagating in rotating background matter. First we derive the Dirac equation for a single massive neutrino in the noninertial frame, where matter is at rest. This equation is written in the effective curved space-time corresponding to the corotating frame. We find the exact solution of the Dirac equation. The neutrino energy levels for ultrarelativistic particles are obtained. Then we discuss several neutrino mass eigenstates, with a nonzero mixing between them, interacting with rotating background matter. We derive the effective Schrödinger equation governing neutrino flavor oscillations in rotating matter. The new resonance condition for neutrino oscillations is obtained. We also examine the correction to the resonance condition caused by the matter rotation.

description: The interrelation between the epitaxial strain and oxygen deficiency in La0.7Ca0.3MnO3-δ thin films was studied in terms of structural and functional properties. The films with a thickness of 1000Å were prepared using a PLD system equipped with a RHEED facility and a pyrometric film temperature control. The epitaxial strain and the oxygen deficiency in the samples were systematically modified using three different substrates: SrTiO3, (LaAlO3)0.3-(Sr2AlTaO6)0.7 and LaSrAlO4, and four different oxygen pressures during film growth ranging from 0.27mbar to 0.1mbar. It could be demonstrated that the oxygen incorporation depends on the epitaxial strain: oxygen vacancies were induced to accommodate tensile strain whereas the compressive strain suppressed the generation of oxygen vacancies.

description: The observed resonance peak around 2.86 GeV has been carefully reexamined by the LHCb collaboration and it is found that under the peak there reside two states $D^*_{s1}(2860)$ and $D^*_{s3}(2860)$ which are considered as $1^3D_1(c\bar s)$ and $1^3D_3(c\bar s)$ with slightly different masses and total widths. Thus, the earlier assumption that the resonance $D^*_{s1}(2710)$ was a $1D$ state should not be right. We suggest to measure the partial widths of radiative decays of $D^*_{sJ}(2860)$ and $D^*_{s1}(2710)$ to confirm their quantum numbers. We would consider $D^*_{s1}(2710)$ as $2^3S_1$ or a pure $1^3D_1$ state, or their mixture and respectively calculate the corresponding branching ratios as well as those of $D^*_{sJ}(2860)$. The future precise measurement would provide us information to help identifying the structures of those resonances .

description: Введение. Представлен обзор существующих точек зрения, определяющих общие особенности знания как компонента сознания. Подчеркивается, что знание обладает сложной и противоречивой внутренней структурой, определяющей его инструментальность и устремленность к расширению и изменению. Целью послужило выявление ключевых характеристик профессионального знания. Материалы и методы. Обсуждение построено с опорой на теоретический материал философской, дидактической и психологической сфер. Анализ материала осуществлялся с помощью теоретических методов абстрагирования, дедуктивного и индуктивного анализа. Результаты и обсуждение. Динамизм знания вытекает из специфического его строения, которое предполагает «определенное» и «неопределенное» содержание. Открытость и незавершенность знания обусловливают его действенность, а также перспективу его изменения и расширения. Эти особенности характерны и для профессионального знания. Но в таких знаниях есть и отличия, которые вытекают из контекста профессиональных противоречий, границ специализации, глубины детализации. Профессиональные знания в своей совокупности составляют «систему знаний», обладают некоторой противоречивостью, выражающейся в наличии, с одной стороны, рациональности и объективности, а с другой — слабой верификацией. Профессиональные знания являются особенными средствами профессиональной деятельности в функции объяснения, прогнозирования и проектирования. Выводы. Выделено три уровня профессионального знания. Первый предполагает формирование в сознании специалиста системы значений профессионального языка. Второй позволяет самостоятельно находить решения профессиональных задач, отражать движущие силы профессионального развития. Третий характеризуется наличием приоритета в сознании субъекта профессиональной деятельности профессионального видения мира.

description: Background: Adolescence/early adulthood coincides with accelerated pruning of cortical synapses and the onset of schizophrenia. Cortical gray matter reduction and dysconnectivity in schizophrenia are hypothesized to result from impaired synaptic plasticity mechanisms, including long-term potentiation (LTP), since deficient LTP may result in too many weak synapses that are then subject to over-pruning. Deficient plasticity has already been observed in schizophrenia. Here, we assessed whether such deficits are present in the psychosis risk syndrome (PRS), particularly those who subsequently convert to full psychosis. Methods: An interim analysis was performed on a sub-sample from the NAPLS-3 study, including 46 healthy controls (HC) and 246 PRS participants. All participants performed an LTP-like visual cortical plasticity paradigm involving assessment of visual evoked potentials (VEPs) elicited by vertical and horizontal line gratings before and after high frequency (“tetanizing”) visual stimulation with one of the gratings to induce “input-specific” neuroplasticity (i.e., VEP changes specific to the tetanized stimulus). Non-parametric, cluster-based permutation testing was used to identify electrodes and timepoints that demonstrated input-specific plasticity effects. Results: Input-specific pre-post VEP changes (i.e., increased negative voltage) were found in a single spatio-temporal cluster covering multiple occipital electrodes in a 126–223 ms time window. This plasticity effect was deficient in PRS individuals who subsequently converted to psychosis, relative to PRS non-converters and HC. Conclusions: Input-specific LTP-like visual plasticity can be measured from VEPs in adolescents and young adults. Interim analyses suggest that deficient visual cortical plasticity is evident in those PRS individuals at greatest risk for transition to psychosis.

description: Введение. Совершаемые преступления с использованием огнестрельного оружия представляют собой наиболее жестокие и циничные разновидности преступной деятельности. Поэтому изучение актуальных способов противодействия расследованию преступлений, связанных с незаконным оборотом оружия, заслуживает отдельного внимания, что явилось целью нашего исследования. Материалы и методы. Использовалась материалы диссертаций, публикации периодической печати, отечественная и зарубежная уголовно-правовая база, содержащая нормы о правоохранительной деятельности, а также положения уголовно-правовой науки. Методологической базой исследования является всеобщий диалектический метод познания, а также общие, специальные и частноправовые методы исследования: анализ, синтез, системный подход, конкретносоциологический, статистический, формально-юридический, сравнительно-правовой. Результаты и обсуждение. Под способами противодействия расследованию преступлений, связанных с незаконным оборотом оружия, следует понимать действия, направленные на сокрытие или уничтожение следов преступления, на фальсификацию или сокрытие доказательств, на оказание воздействия на участников процесса с целью скрыть сведения или информацию о совершенном преступлении. Предлагаем выделить следующие группы способов противодействия расследованию преступлений, связанных с незаконным оборотом оружия: направленные на следы преступления и иные вещественные доказательства совершения преступления; направленные на оказание воздействия на участников уголовного процесса. Выводы. В целях преодоления противодействия расследованию со стороны лиц, совершивших преступления, связанные с незаконным оборотом оружия, следователю необходимо изучить психологический климат внутри преступной группы, если преступления были совершены в группе, ее внутреннюю структуру, установить роль каждого участника. Применяя полученные знания, следователь может определить слабые стороны преступной группы, позволяющие изолировать ее отдельных членов. Своевременная оперативная и следственная поддержка в целях преодоления противодействия расследованию преступлений, связанных с незаконным оборотом оружия, выступает залогом эффективного раскрытия уголовных дел рассматриваемой категории

description: A superconducting thin film with uniform properties is the key to realize nanowire superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs) with high performance and high yield. To investigate the uniformity of NbN films, we introduce and characterize simple detectors consisting of short nanowires with length ranging from 100nm to 15μm. Our nanowires, contrary to meander SSPDs, allow probing the homogeneity of NbN at the nanoscale. Experimental results, endorsed by a microscopic model, show the strongly inhomogeneous nature of NbN films on the sub-100nm scale.

description: Massive bigravity, a theoretically consistent modification of general relativity with an additional dynamical rank two tensor, successfully describes the observed accelerated expansion of the Universe without a cosmological constant. Recent analyses of perturbations around a cosmological background have revealed power law instabilities in both scalar and tensor perturbations, motivating an analysis of the initial conditions, evolution, and cosmological observables to determine the viability of these theories. In this paper we focus on the tensor sector, and study a primordial stochastic gravitational wave background in massive bigravity. The phenomenology can differ from standard General Relativity due to non-trivial mixing between the two linearized tensor fluctuations in the theory, only one of which couples to matter. We study perturbations about two classes of cosmological solutions in bigravity, computing the tensor contribution to the temperature anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation and the present stochastic gravitational wave background. The result is strongly dependent on the choice of cosmological background and initial conditions. One class of background solution generically displaying tremendous growth in the amplitude of large-wavelength gravitational waves, while the other remains observationally indistinguishable from standard General Relativity for a wide variety of initial conditions. We analyze the initial conditions for tensor modes expected in an inflationary cosmology, finding again that there is a strong dependence on the assumed background. For one choice of background, the semi-classical theory is beyond the perturbative regime. For the other choice, inflation generically yields initial conditions that, when evolved, give rise to a stochastic background observationally indistinguishable from standard General Relativity.

description: Recent fieldwork of the Istituto Italiano di Paleontologia Umana in the Anagni basin (Latin Valley, southern Latium, central Italy) has provided new insights into the dynamics of human settlement and adaptation in this area during the Middle Pleistocene. This paper summarizes the still partially unpublished data on the chronostratigraphy of two important prehistoric sites: Fontana Ranuccio, dating from about 400,000 years ago, and Colle Marino, whose lithic industry has so far been attributed to an early stage of the Middle Pleistocene. At Fontana Ranuccio, stratigraphic studies highlighted the depositional dynamics and the processes involved in the formation of the archeological unit, consisting of partly reworked volcanic material, which can be now divided into distinct sub-units. At Colle Marino, a 35-meter-deep core drilling and an excavation campaign allowed us to verify the nature and provenance of lithic artifacts found on the surface in past decades. Radiometric analyses dated these artifacts from about 700,000 years ago.

description: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) tonic signaling, defined as spontaneous activation and release of proinflammatory cytokines by CAR-T cells, is considered a negative attribute because it leads to impaired antitumor effects. Here, we report that CAR tonic signaling is caused by the intrinsic instability of the mAb single-chain variable fragment (scFv) to promote self-aggregation and signaling via the CD3z chain incorporated into the CAR construct. This phenomenon was detected in a CAR encoding either CD28 or 4-1BB costimulatory endodomains. Instability of the scFv was caused by specific amino acids within the framework regions (FWR) that can be identified by computational modeling. Substitutions of the amino acids causing instability, or humanization of the FWRs, corrected tonic signaling of the CAR, without modifying antigen specificity, and enhanced the antitumor effects of CAR-T cells. Overall, we demonstrated that tonic signaling of CAR-T cells is determined by the molecular instability of the scFv and that computational analyses of the scFv can be implemented to correct the scFv instability in CAR-T cells with either CD28 or 4-1BB costimulation.
Marginal, Low, and Very-Low Food Security among Children Are Associated with Intake of Select Dietary Factors during Summer

description: Background: School meals are associated with improved food security status and dietary intake. Children receiving free and reduced-price school meals lose access to these meals during the summer. The association between food security status and dietary intake in these children during summer is unclear. Objective: To examine the association between food security status (high, marginal, low, and very-low food security) among children and intake of select dietary factors during summer in children certified for free and reduced-price school meals by age group (3 to 4 years, 5 to 8 years, 9 to 12 years, and 13 to 17 years). Design: Cross-sectional analysis. Participants/setting: Secondary data from 11,873 children aged 3 to 17 years in the control group of the US Department of Agriculture Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer for Children Demonstration Project. Main outcome measures: Consumption of total fruits and vegetables; fruits and vegetables, excluding fried potatoes; whole grains; added sugars; added sugars, excluding cereals; added sugars from sugar-sweetened beverages; and dairy products assessed using questions from the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Multifactor Diet Screener. Statistical analysis: Multiple linear regression. Results: For the majority of age groups, marginal food security, low food security, and very-low food security were associated with lower fruit and vegetable consumption and low food security and very-low food security were associated with lower dairy consumption, with children from households with very-low food security having the lowest consumption. Children from households with very-low food security consumed 0.73 (95% CI –0.93 to –0.53) to 0.99 (95% CI –1.59 to –0.39) cup equivalents less per day of fruits and vegetables and 0.49 (95% CI –0.65 to –0.34) to 0.68 (95% CI –1.07 to –0.29) cup equivalents less per day of dairy compared with children from households experiencing high food security. Conclusions: Lower food security was associated with reduced consumption of fruits and vegetables and dairy products during summer in children from low-income households.

description: We explore the physical properties of the completely packed O($n$) loop model on the square lattice, and its generalization to an Eulerian graph model, which follows by including cubic vertices which connect the four incoming loop segments. This model includes crossing bonds as well. Our study of the properties of this model involve transfer-matrix calculations and finite-size scaling. The numerical results are compared to existing exact solutions, including solutions of special cases of a so-called coloring model, which are shown to be equivalent with our generalized loop model. The latter exact solutions correspond with seven one-dimensional branches in the parameter space of our generalized loop model. One of these branches, describing the case of nonintersecting loops, is already known to correspond with the ordering transition of the Potts model. We find that another exactly solved branch, which describes a model with nonintersecting loops and cubic vertices, corresponds with a first-order Ising-like phase transition for $n>2$. For $12$ this branch is the locus of a first-order phase boundary between a phase with a hard-square lattice-gas like ordering, and a phase dominated by cubic vertices. The first-order character of this transition is in agreement with a mean-field argument.

description: Genetic algorithms have been used for clustering modules of a software system in line with the modularity principle. The goal of these algorithms is to recover an architectural view in the form of a modular structural decomposition of the system. We discuss design decisions and variations in existing genetic algorithms devised for this purpose. We introduce HYGAR, a novel hybrid variant of existing algorithms. We apply HYGAR for software architecture recovery of 5 real systems and compare its effectiveness with respect to a baseline and a state-of-the-art hybrid algorithm. Results show that HYGAR outperforms these algorithms in maximizing the modularity of the obtained clustering.

description: This paper investigates a general framework to discover categories of unlabeled scene images according to their appearances (i.e., textures and structures). We jointly solve the two coupled tasks in an unsupervised manner: (i) classifying images without pre-determining the number of categories, and (ii) pursuing generative model for each category. In our method, each image is represented by two types of image descriptors that are effective to capture image appearances from different aspects. By treating each image as a graph vertex, we build up an graph, and pose the image categorization as a graph partition process. Specifically, a partitioned sub-graph can be regarded as a category of scenes, and we define the probabilistic model of graph partition by accumulating the generative models of all separated categories. For efficient inference with the graph, we employ a stochastic cluster sampling algorithm, which is designed based on the Metropolis-Hasting mechanism. During the iterations of inference, the model of each category is analytically updated by a generative learning algorithm. In the experiments, our approach is validated on several challenging databases, and it outperforms other popular state-of-the-art methods. The implementation details and empirical analysis are presented as well.

description: We demonstrate a powerful tool for high-resolution mid-IR spectroscopy and frequency metrology with quantum cascade lasers (QCLs). We have implemented frequency stabilization of a QCL to an ultra-low expansion (ULE) reference cavity, via upconversion to the near-IR spectral range, at a level of $1\times10^{-13}$. The absolute frequency of the QCL is measured relative to a hydrogen maser, with instability $<1\times10^{-13}$ and inaccuracy $5\times10^{-13}$, using a frequency comb phase-stabilized to an independent ultrastable laser. The QCL linewidth is determined to be 60 Hz, dominated by fiber noise. Active suppression of fiber noise could result in sub-10 Hz linewidth.

This regressive nasalization is triggered by a phonologically nasal consonant or stressed nasal vowel and does not affect voiceless stops. A limited process of progressive nasalization affects morpheme-initial voiceless stops across a morpheme boundary. Many forms that include a causative prefix show this kind of progressive nasalization. However, this nasal spread lacks any obvious nasal trigger and does not occur consistently. In this paper, I propose an explanation of these cases as vestiges of earlier phonological rules from pre-Proto-Tupi-Guarani but not active in Paraguayan Guarani, followed by the emergence of a regressive oralization rule and ending in a reanalysis of the basic form of the causative prefix. In so doing, I will provide a revised sequence of changes involving contour allophones in the reconstruction of Proto-Tupi-Guarani (PTG).

description: Dominican Republic is one of the Small Island Developing States declared by the UN in 1994, is highly vulnerable from a geographical and economic point of view. Climate change and the high dependency on fossil fuel imports are the main causal agents of this vulnerability. In 2020 85% of electricity in Dominican Republic was generated from fossil fuels. This exercise aims to use OSEMOSYS and ClicSAND framework to answer the next questions: 1) Since the new projects, will Dominican Republic be able to supply at least 25% of the demand by 2030 from Renewable Energy Sources, as it is said in Law 57-07? 2) In a zero-emissions scenario, which could be the best transition commodity for Dominican Republic?
A speech planning account of Guarani grammatical borrowings in Paraguayan Spanish

description: Previous studies view the use of Guarani grammatical morphemes in Paraguayan Spanish simply as grammatical borrowings (if one focuses on the morphosyntactic status of mixed forms) or as an ill-defined "interference". But so far there has been no examination of the bilingual planning mechanisms that license and constrain these language mixes. In this paper, I explore the idea that the emergence of grammatical borrowings can be explained by message conceptualization procedures that are influenced by asymmetries in each language's cognitive dominance. This work thus contributes to our understanding of language contact by applying what we know about language processing and utterance planning to explaining the outcomes observed in language mixing. In so doing, I hope to facilitate a tighter integration between the psycholinguistic planning and language contact literatures.

description: Recent high-resolution observations have shown stellar winds to harbour complexities which strongly deviate from spherical symmetry, generally assumed as standard wind model. One such morphology is the archimedean spiral, generally believed to be formed by binary interactions, which has been directly observed in multiple sources. We seek to investigate the manifestation in the observables of spiral structures embedded in the spherical outflows of cool stars. We aim to provide an intuitive bedrock with which upcoming ALMA data can be compared and interpreted. By means of an extended parameter study, we model rotational CO emission from the stellar outflow of asymptotic giant branch stars. To this end, we develop a simplified analytical parametrised description of a 3D spiral structure. This model is embedded into a spherical wind, and fed into the 3D radiative transfer code LIME, which produces 3D intensity maps throughout velocity space. Subsequently, we investigate the spectral signature of rotational transitions of CO of the models, as well as the spatial aspect of this emission by means of wide-slit PV diagrams. Additionally, the potential for misinterpretation of the 3D data in a 1D context is quantified. Finally, we simulate ALMA observations to explore the impact of interefrometric noise and artifacts on the emission signatures. The spectral signatures of the CO rotational transition v=0 J=3-2 are very efficient at concealing the dual nature of the outflow. Only a select few parameter combinations allow for the spectral lines to disclose the presence of the spiral structure. The inability to disentangle the spiral from the spherical signal can result in an incorrect interpretation in a 1D context. Consequently, erroneous mass loss rates would be calculated...
Giant Phononic Anisotropy and Unusual Anharmonicity of Phosphorene: Interlayer Coupling and Strain Engineering

description: Phosphorene, an emerging elemental two-dimensional (2D) direct band gap semiconductor with fascinating structural and electronic properties distinctively different from other 2D materials such as graphene and MoS2, is promising for novel nanoelectronic and optoelectronic applications. Phonons, as one of the most important collective excitations, are at the heart for the device performance, as their interactions with electrons and photons govern the carrier mobility and light-emitting efficiency of the material. Here, through a detailed first-principles study, it is demonstrated that monolayer phosphorene exhibits a giant phononic anisotropy, and remarkably, this anisotropy is squarely opposite to its electronic counterpart and can be tuned effectively by strain engineering. By sampling the whole Brillouin zone for the mono-layer phosphorene, several "hidden" directions are found, along which small-momentum phonons are "frozen" with strain and possess the smallest degree of anharmonicity. Unexpectedly, these "hidden" directions are intrinsically different from those usually studied armchair and zigzag directions. Light is also shed on the anisotropy of interlayer coupling of few-layer phosphorene by examining the rigid-layer vibrations. These highly anisotropic and strain-tunable characteristics of phosphorene offer new possibilities for its applications in thermal management, thermoelectronics, nanoelectronics and phononics.

The oldest lithic industries of the Agro Pontino (Latium, central Italy)

description: Recent chronostratigraphic and paleoclimatic investigations carried out in the Pontine Plain (Agro Pontino) have made it possible to better specify the chronological position of the oldest lithic industries found in the area. The terrains in which the rare bifaces and choppers were found in the localities of Le Ferriere-Torre del Giglio and Valloncello as well as the microlitic industry from an excavation essay carried out in Quarto delle Cinfonare, have been correlated with the MIS 9 aggradational succession (340-320 ka). These lithic artifacts hold the oldest testimonies (late Lower Paleolithic) of the anthropic population of the Pontine territory. In Campoverde, on the other hand, the complex succession of deposits containing the archeological materials, including the MIS 7.5 aggradational succession and younger colluvial deposits, made it possible to hypothesize the coexistence of two lithic technocomplexes. The oldest lithic industry, attributable to the early Middle Paleolithic, is mainly characterized by denticulates, borers, and choppers while the most recent set, with a strong presence of sidescrapers, has significant similarities with the Pontinian Mousterian.

description: The English auxiliary system exhibits many lexical exceptions and subregularities, and considerable dialectal variation, all of which are frequently omitted from generative analyses and discussions. This paper presents a detailed, movement-free account of the English Auxiliary System within Sign-Based Construction Grammar (Sag 2010, Michaelis 2011, Boas & Sag 2012) that utilizes techniques of lexicalist and construction-based analysis. The resulting conception of linguistic knowledge involves constraints that license hierarchical structures directly (as in context-free grammar), rather than by appeal to mappings over such structures. This allows English auxiliaries to be modeled as a class of verbs whose behavior is governed by general and class-specific constraints. Central to this account is a novel use of the feature aux, which is set both constructionally and lexically, allowing for a complex interplay between various grammatical constraints that captures a wide range of exceptional patterns, most notably the vexing distribution of unstressed do, and the fact that Ellipsis can interact with other aspects of the analysis to produce the feeding and blocking relations that are needed to generate the complex facts of EAS. The present approach, superior both descriptively and theoretically to existing transformational approaches, also serves to undermine views of the biology of language and acquisition such as Berwick et al. (2011), which are centered on mappings that manipulate hierarchical phrase structures in a structure-dependent fashion.

En este curso reflexionaremos sobre las posibilidades de trabajo filológico y editorial con textos digitalizados y aprenderemos a codificar textos digitales, utilizando el lenguaje de marcado XML-TEI, desarrollado por la Text Encoding Initiative para el interncambio de información textual en el campo de las Humanidades y las Ciencias Sociales. Veremos algunos casos de uso y trabajaremos en modalidad taller sobre la codificación y visualización de algunos ejemplos concretos. Estos son los materiales utilizados para la docencia del Curso de Humanidades digitales: Text Encoding Initiative, lenguaje XML y marcado semántico de textos, llevado a cabo en la Universidad Católica de Valencia, los días 29 y 30 de junio de 2022.
A biclausal account of clitic left-dislocations with epithets in Rioplatense Spanish
Creators: name: Estigarribia, B.
Publisher: name: Ubiquity Press
Year: 2020

description: Clitic Left-Dislocations with Epithets in Rioplatense Spanish (CLLD+ep) are sentences with three apparently co-referential direct object constituents: a clitic-left-dislocated topic DP (DP-LD), a clitic (CL) and a post-verbal epithet (DP-ep). Previous studies have proposed that the DP-ep is licensed in-situ as Clitic Doubling and the DP-LD base-generated, or that the DP-ep and the DP-LD are licensed together in a predicative small clause doubled by the clitic. However, data where the DP-LD and the CL are singular but co-occur with a plural DP-ep cast doubt on previous analyses. Here, I explore an analysis of CLLD+ep as an underlyingly biclausal structure subject to deletions. The biclausal structure allows a plural epithet to refer to the plural restrictor set of a syntactically singular quantifier in a previous clause.
