Abstract:

The monograph is devoted to the study of the problem of the Napoleonic complex manifestation in the key classics of Russian literature of the early-mid-XIX century. The study provides a systematic analysis of the semiotic Napoleonic complex, which is manifested in each classic depending on personal and socio-ideological positions — from autobiographical constructs to invective and ironic variations of the myth. It is intended for a wide range of scientists-specialists, philologists, historians, cultural scientists, students of the Humanities, graduate students and teachers of Russian literatur

Abstract:

Purepecha (language isolate, Mexico) has one relevant characteristic that leads to identifying it as a polysynthetic language: productive verbal morphology (in particular locative suffixes). Purepecha is a predominantly dependent-marking language, as its pronominal markers are enclitics, generally second position enclitics. But, in some contexts Purepecha shows head-marking characteristics. Today, pronominal enclitics exhibit variation, tending to move to the rightmost position in the clause; they may encliticize to the predicate itself, showing a head-attraction or polypersonalism strategy an

Abstract:

This chapter continues the analysis of Chapter 6 by focusing on slavery in classical Crete. Ancient writers from Aristotle onwards compared the system of dependent labour in Crete to Sparta’s helots. This chapter tests whether or not the traditional view—that these dependants were serfs—stands up to a detailed scrutiny of the evidence. By looking at Crete’s legal inscriptions, particularly those of the polis of Gortyn, we can see that these dependants were privately owned slaves, not serfs. The second half of the chapter examines in detail the legal and economic position of slaves in Gortyn an

This chapter explores one major consequence of the invariance of c: events that are simultaneous in one frame are not necessarily simultaneous in other frames.We will find that the time coordinates of events are just as frame‐dependent as their positions. This is no accident, but a symmetry between space and time. Viewed in a spacetime diagram, a frame change rotates the grid lines marking time just as much as it rotates the grid lines marking position; this preserves c as the same speed in all frames. Along the way, we practice using skewed grids in spacetime diagrams: identifying the time co

This chapter investigates syntactic change regarding the availability of split noun phrases in relative clauses in the diachrony of Portuguese. In earlier stages of the language an element that is thematically dependent on the head noun (either as a complement or as a modifier) may not appear adjacent to it but in a relative clause internal position. In Contemporary European Portuguese, noun phrase discontinuity also arises in relative clauses, but only with the modifier/complement in the rightmost position.

The epidemiology and natural history of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are different. The thoracic aortic diameter is dependent on age and body habitus as well as the level at which it is measured. Average diameters are 2.1 cm/m2 for the ascending thoracic aorta, and 1.6 cm/m2 for the descending thoracic aorta, giving approximate thresholds for the diagnosis of a TAA of 40 mm and 35 mm, respectively. AAAs are defined by a diameter >30 mm and are mainly infrarenal, with only 2%–5% in a suprarenal position.

Abstract:

During positive pressure ventilation the lung volume is reduced because of loss of respiratory muscle tone. This promotes airway closure that occurs in dependent lung regions. Gas absorption behind the closed airway results sooner or later in atelectasis depending on the inspired oxygen concentration. The elevated airway and alveolar pressures squeeze blood flow down the lung so that a ventilation/perfusion mismatch ensues with more ventilation going to the upper lung regions and more perfusion going to the lower, dependent lung. Positive pressure ventilation may impede the return of venous bl

Starting from the position that, rather than proposing a rational theology, Part One of the Ethics establishes some sort of general ontology, it is argued, first, that, by maintaining substance monism, Spinoza is committed to the realist claim that being is conceivable, or explainable. Next, the chapter argues for a reconstruction of the terms “substance” and “mode” as establishing a categorical distinction between two sorts of entities. By using these terms in the peculiar manner in which he does, Spi

It describes the slow, cumbersome, and apathetic bureaucratic colonial communication hierarchy that Puerto Rican laborers had to endure in their home region, Washington, D.C., and the Territory of Hawaiʻi when they filed complaints about life in the islands.

The book seeks to clarify the account of the Categorical Imperative in the light of its standing as an objective imperative, exploring the centrality of ‘autonomy’ and the several ways in which feeling is essential to morality.

Abstract The chapters in this collection address the question to what extent the doctrine of linguistic idealism is coherent and plausible. This position holds that the existence and the structure of the world are in some sense dependent on the existence and the structure of language. The interest of the thesis is that, since human language is an evolved, empirical phenomenon, it would be surprising and significant if the world, which existed long before human beings came into being and is in many respects quite obviously independent of them, were somehow beholden to the fact that human beings

On the basis of the study of split ergativity in Georgian, this chapter defends a simple principle according to which the difference between a nominative and an ergative behaviour of the same language, and possibly across languages, consists in the capacity of the transitive subject to be theta-licensed, and by consequence case-licensed, in a position outside vP only in the nominative type. An outcome of this difference is that the transitive subject in ergative languages is licensed in vP, which is also the minimal domain containing the direct object.

One view of ontology has dominated Western philosophy since the Greeks: the most basic furnishings of the world are things or, in more technical philosophical terms, substances. These are thought of as integrated, persisting through time, not dependent on anything external for their existence, and as the bearers of properties. They are also the subjects of change. This chapter begins with the proposal that we should treat organisms not, as is traditional, as a kind of thing or substance, but as a kind of process.

As the essays demonstrate, many of these objects work to transform the amorphous concept of power into a material reality with considerable symbolic dimensions subject to, and dependent on, interpretation.

The natural law realists face the problem of justifying the natural law. Against both views, S. Zinaich Jr. defends a middle position, Analytical Legal Naturalism (ALN).

This study aims to show, theoretically, how context-dependent Hamas is when formulating its resistance and Demo-Islamic practise and that this occurs in interrelations with key actors of the conflict. This study also presents important new empirical data that, in part, also challenges previous research. Hamas is one of the ver

Abstract:

Chapter abstract The work of Pierre Bourdieu provides a framework to see how class position is written on the body and expressed through classed styles of walking, talking, gesturing, eating, drinking, and so forth. This chapter considers how Bourdieu’s work on the body has informed and advanced empirical research on the body. From Bourdieu’s perspective, each body is the visible product of the composition and volumes of class-specific capitals accrued over the course of a lifetime, and it can be a powerful resource, or liability, depending upon the fit between one’s bodily capital and the fie

Abstract:

This study argues that in Pazar Laz, an endangered South-Caucasian language spoken in Turkey, all eventive verbal predicates, including both unergatives and unaccusatives, pattern as transitives syntactically, involving a subject and an object position. Thus, there are no syntactic differences between transitives, unergatives, and unaccusatives. The chapter argues that this pattern correlates with the voice system in the language. While it lacks the voice phenomena associated with passives, middles, and anticausatives, Pazar Laz exhibits a three-way voice system involving Initiator (Actor) Voi

Abstract:

During the first half of the twentieth century, a lack of oil constrained Britain and Germany from exerting their economic and military power independently. Having fought World War I with oil imported from the United States, Britain was determined to avoid relying upon another great power for its energy needs ever again. Even before the war had ended, Whitehall began implementing a strategy of developing alternative sources of oil under British control. Britain’s key supplier would be the Middle East—already a region of vital importance to the British Empire, but one whose oil potential was st
