Link [via] Linguistics 550 Introduction to syntax. Fall 2013 Anthony Kroch 614 Williams Hallkroch@change.ling.upenn.edu Linguistics 550 is an introduction to the systematic study of natural language syntax for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in linguistics and allied fields.
The course presents the motivation for the modern generative approach to the scientific study of language and develops systematically a generative transformational treatment of the most basic syntactic constructions of natural language. The intellectual emphasis of the course is on understanding the reasoning process that guides syntactic analysis, especially the role of the Universal Grammar hypothesis and the logical problem of language acquisition in guiding research. The first part of the course is based on a web textbook that was written here at Penn by Beatrice Santorini and myself. The second part of the course aims to introduce students to reading and analyzing critically the primary literature in contemporary generative syntax. Course outline: Geekologie. Mouse Operated Instrument. Pineberries: Fruit looks like white strawberry but tastes like pineapple | Daily Contributor. Home » Odd + Weird 31 March 201011 Comments Posted by Sherwin A new kind of fruit that looks like a white strawberry but tastes like a pineapple is going on sale in the UK.
Called pineberry, the strange-looking-variety of the popular summer fruit originated in South America where it grew wild. It had been near to extinction until seven years ago when the Dutch began growing it commercially. Pineberries will be on sale for five weeks at selected Waitrose branches. A 125g punnet will cost £2.99 until April 13 and then sell for £3.99. Nicki Baggott, Waitrose fruit buyer, said: ”Pineberries offer our customers the chance to add a new fruit into their diet and the berry’s bright appearance can add an unusual decoration to sweet dishes.” Pineberries are slightly smaller than the common strawberries.

Reverberations. About the music 01. Toccata and Fugue in D minor Two 6581 chips. The toccata is perhaps the most well-known work in the entire organ repertoire. Like many toccatas, it is probably a transcribed improvisation. The fugue is written for four voices, and the subject resembles a passage in the toccata. 02. One 6581 chip. This is a chorale prelude from Orgelbüchlein. This piece of music was featured in Tarkovsky's film Solaris. 03. Two 8580 chips. Die Kunst der Fuge is a terribly clever suite of fourteen fugues and four canons, of increasing complexity, all based on the same theme. 04. Bach has based at least ten different works on this melody (BWV numbers 662, 663, 664, 675, 676, 677, 711, 715, 716, 717), presumably quite varying in style and harmonic content. 05.
The grand finale! A passacaglia is based on a short melody which is repeated throughout the piece, mostly in the bass, sometimes with variations. The fugue is quite advanced. About the technology Quantization Registration. 'The Illusionist' review: Magician's vanishing act. The Illusionist Animation. Directed by Sylvain Chomet. (PG. 90 minutes in English, French and Gaelic with no subtitles. At Bay Area theaters.) "The Illusionist" tells the tale of a hard-luck traveling magician, but the title could mean the director himself: Sylvain Chomet, the French animator and re-animator of lost eras, who brings Jacques Tati to wondrous and sparkling life. This is a remarkable movie: lovely, slow-paced and almost silent, rich with pathos and deft comic gestures. The illusionist goes by Tatischeff - Tati's real name.
What's evident in the film is a deep yet delicate attachment between the illusionist and his young companion, a sense of the great mime's atonement for old parental failings. Edinburgh has never looked more fairy-tale gorgeous. "The Illusionist" offers no subtitles for its French or Gaelic, but there's no need for them. -- Advisory: Thematic elements and smoking. May/June 2010 > Features > Cognitive Scientist Lera Boroditsky. Can language shape how we think? A Stanford researcher says yes, and her work speaks volumes about what makes people tick.
By Joan O'C. Hamilton Lera Boroditsky's journey to answer one of psychology's most intriguing and fractious questions has been a curious one. "In English," she says, moving her hand toward the cup, "if I knock this cup off the table, even accidentally, you would likely say, 'She broke the cup.'" If one deliberately knocks the cup, there is a verb form to indicate as much. The question is: Does the fact that one language tends to play the blame game while the other does not mean speakers of those languages think differently about what happened?
As anyone who's studied a new language understands well, languages differ in myriad ways beyond simply having, as comedian Steve Martin once observed, "a different word for everything. " But Boroditsky, PhD '01, is not a linguist. Boroditsky's colleagues and mentors say her research is generating breakthrough insights. Projects : sincerely hana.

©1995 The Regents of the University of California by Regan Lum Introduction: A speaker is a device that converts an electronic signal into sound. The speaker you will build (see figure 1) consists of a Styrofoam or paper cup, a coil of wire, a permanent magnet, and a signal source. Figure 1 Purpose: In this laboratory, you will explore how a speaker works. Materials: 1 permanent magnet 2 feet of wire 1 pencil tape or glue 1 Styrofoam or paper cup 1 signal source (tape player) 1 plug with alligator clips for tape player Procedure: Assemble material as shown in figure 1.
Leaving about 10 centimeters on the end, wrap the wire around a pencil to make a wire coil and tape or glue it to the bottom of the cup. Conclusion Does the volume control on the tape player work on your speaker?

I CONTACT is essentially a mouse fitted to your eyeball. The lens is inserted like any other normal contact lens except it’s laced with sensors to track eye movement, relaying that position to a receiver connected to your computer. Theoretically that should give you full control over a mouse cursor. I’d imagine holding a blink correlates to mouse clicks. The idea was originally created for people with disabilities but anyone could use it. Those of us too lazy to use a mouse now have a free hand to do whatever it is people do when they sit at the computer for endless hours. Designers: Eun-Gyeong Gwon & Eun-Jae Lee.

FV_19. Banality of evil. Cover of the first edition of Eichmann in Jerusalem Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil is a book by political theorist Hannah Arendt, originally published in 1963. Arendt, a Jew who fled Germany during Adolf Hitler's rise to power, reported on Adolf Eichmann's trial for The New Yorker. Overview[edit] Arendt states that aside from a desire for improving his career, Eichmann showed no trace of antisemitism or psychological damage. Arendt takes Eichmann's court testimony and the historical evidence available, and makes several observations about Eichmann: Arendt suggests that this most strikingly discredits the idea that the Nazi criminals were manifestly psychopathic and different from "normal" people.

The banality of evil[edit] See also[edit] UN Report: Human Development Is The Real Wealth Of Nations. Yesterday, the United Nations released its annual Human Development Report. It is the 20TH anniversary of the report, and this year’s report is broadening the general understanding of what it means for a nation to be “developed” by adding new parameters to calculate the nations respective index.
The 2010 report has taken under consideration to judge the well-being of a nation’s population, from solely measuring the size of their national economy to put in consideration factors such as income inequality and gender inequality beside only considering health and education. The 2010 Human Development Index (HDI), which is a composite national measure of income, health and education for 169 countries, shows Norway, Australia and New-Zealand leading worldwide in HDI achievement, and Niger, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Zimbabwe at the very bottom of the annual rankings. said Jeni Klugman, the report’s lead author. “ said Jeni Klugman.

Armed Forces Make Progress in Regenerative Medicine By Jamie Findlater Special to American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, May 8, 2008 – Thanks to great strides in medical care, today’s U.S. warriors have a 50 percent greater chance of survival if they’re wounded on the battlefield than their Vietnam War counterparts did. State-of-the-art prosthetics help troops who have lost a limb resume many, and in some cases all, of their pre-injury activities. The Defense Department is hoping to find new and even better ways to help the nation’s warriors as it researches a field called regenerative medicine that would enable people to generate new skin and even grow new limbs, Army Col. Vandre, research area director for combat casualty care research at the U.S. Statistics show that 82 percent of returning wounded servicemembers have extremity injuries, 33 percent have wounds to the face or head, and 5 to 6 percent have burns, Vandre said.
