When Minoritized Languages Change Linguistic Theory English | 2022 | ISBN: 1316516377 | 211 Pages | PDF | 3.3 MB For decades, a small set of major world languages have formed the basis of the vast majority of linguistic theory. However, minoritized languages can also provide fascinating contributions to our understanding of the human language faculty. This pioneering book explores the transformative effect minoritized languages have on mainstream linguistic theory, which, with their typically unusual syntactic, morphological and phonological properties, challenge and question frameworks that were developed largely to account for more widely-studied languages. The chapters address the four main pillars of linguistic theory - syntax, semantics, phonology, and morphology - and provide plenty of case studies to show how minoritized language can disrupt assumptions, and lead to modifications of the theory itself. It is illustrated with examples from a range of languages, and is written in an engaging and accessible style, making it essential reading for both students and researchers of theoretical syntax, phonology and morphology, and language policy and politics.
Visualizing Mixed Martial Arts: The Statistics of Fighter Performance Versus the Science of Fighter Perception by Ryan Barrett English | November 8, 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BLXMX2QX | 370 pages | EPUB | 7.50 Mb Have you ever wondered how your favorite fighter compares to another in striking, defense, power, or even the GOAT discussion? Have you ever been in a debate about the ability of a fighter? If so, look no further - this book has the answers! Whether you are new to Mixed Martial Arts or you are a seasoned fan, Visualizing Mixed Martial Arts is a must read. This book is the first to both evaluate the performance of fighters across a range of attributes and visualize these attributes as statistics in beautiful Descriptions to help you compare every fighter. The evaluation does not stop there. In addition to this objective truth, I go inside the minds of fans using machine learning methods, and I summarize the public opinion of fighter attributes. In this book, I compare this opinion to the statistical truth and I show you the gaps between perception and reality with stunning graphics. Variational Approach to Hyperbolic Free Boundary Problems English | 2022 | ISBN: 981196730X | 100 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 9 MB This volume is devoted to the study of hyperbolic free boundary problems possessing variational structure. Such problems can be used to model, among others, oscillatory motion of a droplet on a surface or bouncing of an elastic body against a rigid obstacle. In the case of the droplet, for example, the membrane surrounding the fluid in general forms a positive contact angle with the obstacle, and therefore the second derivative is only a measure at the contact free boundary set. We will show how to derive the mathematical problem for a few physical systems starting from the action functional, discuss the mathematical theory, and introduce methods for its numerical solution. The mathematical theory and numerical methods depart from the classical approaches in that they are based on semi-discretization in time, which facilitates the application of the modern theory of calculus of variations.
