This paper examines lip and jaw kinematics in the production of labial stop and fricative consonants where the duration of the oral closure/constriction is varied for linguistic purposes. The subjects were speakers of Japanese and Swedish, two languages that have a contrast between short and long consonants. Lip and jaw movements were recorded using a magnetometer system. Based on earlier work sho
February 22, 1756, exactly 250 years ago, died one of Linnaeus’ apostles, the Swede Pehr Löfling, at the missions of San Antonio de Caroní, Venezuela. He was buried under an orange tree, just 27 years old. Sent by Linnaeus to participate in a Spanish border expedition, led by José de Iturriaga, he had the task to explore the flora and fauna of the New World. After spending more than two years in S
This paper examines the coordination of lip and tongue movements in sequences of vowel-bilabial consonant-vowel where the duration of the oral closure for the consonant is varied for linguistic purposes. Native speakers of Japanese served as subjects. The linguistic material consisted of Japanese word pairs that only differed in the duration of the labial consonant, which was either long or short.
Human beings have wondered about the stars since the dawn of the species. Does life exist out there – intelligent life, even – or are we alone? The quest for life in the universe touches on fundamental hopes and fears. It touches on the essence of what it means to formulate a theory, grasp a concept, and have an imagination. This book traces the history of the science of this area and the developm
This chapter investigates the interaction between monuments, city-scape and viewers. It targets representation of movement and arrest in the public narrative reliefs of Imperial Rome. A leading idea is that movement in the image was consciously designed to connect with movement in front of it – to attract and guide the viewers’ move and gaze. As a consequence, the nature of the monument and its im
The article investigates translation culture in the Swedish dominion Swedish Pomerania during the eighteenth century, with a particular focus on periodicals.
This volume positions itself on the cutting edge of two fields in psychology that enjoy rapidly increasing attention: both the study of human lives and some core domains of such lives as religion and spirituality are high on the agenda of current research and teaching. Biographies and autobiographies are being approached in new ways and have become central to the study of human lives as an object
The goal of the present deliverable is to provide a developmental analysis of attentional intersubjectivity, which, as we show below, is a more inclusive notion than the more commonly used term ‘joint attention’ (e.g. Moore & Dunham 1995). The use of the term ‘joint attention’ is not consistent in the literature, sometimes referring to the general phenomenon when two or more subjects attend to
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen tar upp frågor om prästernas arbetsmiljö och deras roll och identitet. I inledningskapitlet framhölls att flera faktorer är viktiga för en undersökning om prästernas arbetsmiljö och för utformningen av prästrollen och prästidentiteten. Det omgivande samhället, de organisatoriska ramarna och de förväntningar som ställs på prästerna är några sådana faktorer, In this dissertation the work environment and the roles and identities of the clergy in the Church of Sweden are investigated. It is said in the first chapter that there are several factors influencing the work environment and that these factors are important for the formation of the roles and identities of the clergy. The surrounding society, the organization, and the expectations directed at the
