Full textAbstract:
AbstractThere are six different terms to refer to the ‘face’ in Buryat. The aim of the present paper is to clarify the difference in the usage of all these various terms: which one is used as a body part anatomically, which one is used mostly with metaphorical meanings, which one has a common meaning as appearance, or whether all of them are used equally in all categories. The terms are explored from etymological, semantic and morphological aspects.

Full textAbstract:
This article deals with the use of idioms featuring the names of body parts in political speech, specifically in parliamentary debates. Its aim is to investigate the frequency of occurrence of idioms featuring the names of body parts. Accordingly, it investigates which names of body parts occur most frequently in German and Kosovar parliamentary debates. A further aim of the study is to examine the communicative-pragmatic performance of idioms featuring the names of body parts in this genre. As is well known, politicians often use idioms with the aim of expressing emotions and attitudes about certain events and thereby creating a degree of closeness to their voters.

The authors measure electroencephalograms (EEGs) from a subject looking at line drawings of body parts and recalling their names silently. The equivalent current dipole source localization (ECDL) method is applied to the event related potentials (ERPs): summed EEGs. As the dominant language area of the subject is considered to be in the right hemisphere in the previous research study, ECDs are localized to the right middle temporal gyrus: the angular gyrus. Then ECDs are localized to the right fusiform gyrus, the right middle temporal pole (TEP), and the right inferior temporal white matter (TWM). ECDs are located in the ventral pathway. The areas are related to the integrated process of visual recognition of pictures and the recalling of words. Some of these areas are also related to image recognition and word generation.

Full textAbstract:
The naming of body parts, acting as one of the most noticeable layers of vocabulary, which reflects the knowledge of native speakers about the world around them, and their idea of both their own body and the body of animals, is the subject of constant attention of linguists. In modern linguistics, as in the humanities in general, the anthropocentric approach to the separation of somatic vocabulary prevails, when only parts of the human body are included in body parts. However, such a view of the realm of the corporeal and, moreover, the understanding of the pair “somatic – mental” only as one that applies to a man, denies the corporeality (however, as well as the realm of the psyche) of other living organisms ‒ animals. Therefore, we consider it appropriate to include the names of body parts of animals as somatic names. The article found that the Proto-Slavic language had a fairly extensive system of names of body parts. Many somatisms called parts of the body of both humans and animals. The somatic lexical subsystem includes such large groups of nouns to denote parts of the human and animal body, as: sonymic, osteonymic, splanchnonymic, angionimic, myonymic, sensonymic, neoplasmonimic. The object of study is the vocabulary to denote parts of the human and animal body, including the name of the head and its parts, neck and torso, skeleton and bones, cardiovascular and circulatory system, internal organs, muscles, human and animal senses, and also the names of neoplasms recorded in monuments of different styles and genres and historical dictionaries that reflect the vocabulary of the Proto-Slavic period. The purpose of the article is to carry out word-formation analysis of somatic names in the history of the Ukrainian language of the Proto-Slavic era. The main research methods are descriptive, comparative-historical, structural (component) analysis. The description of somatic names is carried out according to a complex method that combines semantic-word-forming and etymological aspects of the study. The authors found that the derivation of somatic names in the Proto-Slavic language occurred in two ways: by morphological and semantic word formation. The most productive, among morphological, way of word formation of somatic names of the pre-written period was suffixation, much less active in derivation of new words was confixation, prefix and composite word formation was represented by single formations. The peculiarity of the derivational semantics of somatisms on the territory of ancient Slavia is that some formants already lost their diminutive meaning in pre-written times. Non-morphological methods were represented by semantic derivation, when somatisms were created by transferring meaning on the basis of similarity, which later laid the foundations for the formation of a significant layer of somatic vocabulary. Prospects for the study are a more detailed analysis of the development and formation of somatic names in the dialects of the Ukrainian language, as well as the creation of principles for concluding a terminological basis of natural, including medical, sphere based on specific Ukrainian lexical material.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents the results of comparative research into the collocations of the names of human body parts with dimension adjectives. The aim of the analysis was to indicate the similarities, limitations and differences in the manners of conceptualising the world established in Polish and Korean, or more precisely: how both languages define the elements of the world of human body parts, and how they assign dimensions to the elements depending on the needs and experiences of native users of both. The results of the research could have a practical application in teaching both languages, facilitating students’ absorption of the lexis of the other language, and result in a deeper mutual understanding of linguistic and cultural differences..

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the analysis of mechanisms of representation of railway rolling stock in professional jargon through zoomorphic metaphorical image. The purpose of the research is to identify the totality of lexical means of explication of this image in railway slang; to give classification of these means; to define most topical models on the basis of which images "animal" and "railway transport" semantically correlate. The sources of the actual material are the dictionary of railway jargon by D. Zinoviev and railway Internet forums and chats. We found 117 lexemes of different parts of speech, which from different sides directly or indirectly embody the image "animal" in the nomination of rolling stock and form a special semantic field. In the paper the structure of this field is described, the core of which is the nomination of animals ( bull, crocodile, parrot, mare ) and parts of their body ( muzzle, horns, tail ), used for the metaphorical name of the rolling stock and its parts and devices. On the periphery of the field there are lexemes indicating habitats of animals; artifacts, people, actions related to animals ( burrow, stables, reins, rider, milk (v), horseshoe (v) ). The system relations within the given field were found: synonymic, antonymic, derivation, syntagmatic connections between its components.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the hunting vocabulary used in the work by the Yakut front-line writer Timofey Smetanin “Tales of the hunter Meheelecheen”. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that there is no comprehensive description of the hunting vocabulary in the Yakut language; part of the vocabulary, including the special vocabulary as a hunting language has been lost. The purpose of this study is to identify lexico-semantic groups of hunting vocabulary used in the work. The hunting vocabulary was divided into thirteen lexico-semantic groups: 1) nominations of hunting activities and their results; 2) nominations of habits of animals and birds observed during hunting; 3) nominations of birds, groups of birds and animals; 4) designations of hunting methods; 5) names of hunters’ clothes, footwear and equipment; 6) names of hunting accessories, their parts and equipment; 7) names of hunters and their assistants; 8) names of body parts and internal organs of animals and birds; 9) names of types of meat of animals or birds and specific food of hunters and fishermen; 10) names of hunting buildings; 11) geographical features of the area; 12) sounds of the surrounding world; 13) figurative representations of the movements of animals and birds.

Full textAbstract:
The present study is an investigation of the Preferences of Bedouin first- names in central Bedouin tribes (Al-dʒiiza District) in Jordan from the semantic and sociolinguistic points of view. This study aims at exploring the semantic meanings of the Bedouin first- names (Note 1). It, also, aims at discussing the socio-cultural influences that come behind these Bedouin personal first-names. To achieve the goal of this study, 177 personal names were collected from the passports of Bedouin people whose years of birth were from 1950 to 1960 registered in the Civil Status and Passport Department. Then names were classified into seven main categories based on their meanings and the socio-cultural factors that they reflect. For example, names taken from the surrounding environment, animal and birds, times of the day, plants, personality and body parts, weather, and travelling. As a result, we can conclude that Bedouin names aren’t arbitrary and carry semantic and sociolinguistic implications.

Full textAbstract:
There is still a great interest in the functional side of language phenomena in modern linguistics. The semantics of language units is closely related to a specific speech situation. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze both the context and the inter-compatibility of lexemes in order to describe the specifics of their meanings. The article aims to describe the features of combining the adjective kichizhek ‘small’ with nouns, and this aspect has not been previously studied separately in the Khakass linguistics. The adjective under investigation refers to diminutive adjectives. Diminutives are units characterized by the property of being smaller than the usual size for objects of this type. The diminutive adjective kichizhek ‘small’ is formed by the affix =zhakh from the adjective kichig, which in the “Khakass-Russian dictionary” is interpreted as: “1) small, small (in size); kichig aal small village; kichig tura small house; kеgeneem kichig dress [me] little; 2) small, small (growth); kichig synnyg (sӧӧktig) khys a small person; 3) younger, child, infant; young (by age); kichig oolgym [my] younger son; kichig tusta in childhood (in childhood); kichig naturalist young naturalist.” By analyzing the examples presented in the file, the following groups of combinations of the diminutive adjective kichizhek ‘small’ with nouns were identified: with the names of non-adult people, kinship names, anthroponyms, names of human body parts, living creatures (small size), objects (small), parts of objects, structures, places, parts of structures, parts of plants, natural objects (small size), substances (as grounds for comparisons). No combinations of this adjective with abstract names have been found. Thus, the diminutive combinations with adjective kichizhek ‘small’ have proved to be used more often to denote small objects of the nomination, with all objects being smaller than a man. The names of natural objects were used as a basis for comparison (a candle is compared with the sun, sparrows – with clouds).

The analysis of Kyrgyz folklore was done by various researchers. Present work is dedicated to the somatism lexis, transmitting a whole range of images, concepts and associations that reflect the peculiarities of the world view and the world perception of the ancient people. The names of body parts – somatism – belong to the oldest parts of the vocabulary, which evolved over the millennia and reflected the ancient knowledge of man about himself and his body. In a large number somatisms were used by storytellers in the performance of their national epics. The article considers the concept of «somatisms», examples of somatisms in the physical description of heroes of the Kyrgyz epic «Manas», «Kurmanbek», «The Legend of Sarinzhi Buky» are represented.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractBoth touch and speech independently have been shown to play an important role in infant development. However, little is known about how they may be combined in the input to the child. We examined the use of touch and speech together by having mothers read their 5-month-olds books about body parts and animals. Results suggest that speech+touch multimodal events are characterized by more exaggerated touch and speech cues. Further, our results suggest that maternal touches are aligned with speech and that mothers tend to touch their infants in locations that are congruent with names of body parts. Thus, our results suggest that tactile cues could potentially aid both infant word segmentation and word learning.

Full textAbstract:
The article includes the analysis of Polish and Bulgarian somatic phrases with the meaning justified with substantial components – the names of the parts of the body having a semantic feature ‘designed for thinking’ in the semantic structure. This semantic feature belongs to mental functions in the categories of semantic features and it justified the meaning of the number of collected phrases in Bulgarian (about 60) twice as big as in Polish (about 30). The most productive components of analysed phrases are NA (nomen anatomicum) Polish głowa (łeb), Bulgarian глава and мозък. NA Polish mózg and exceptionally NA Polish ciemię i mózgownica are rarely used in the function of the component. Furthermore, the observations of productivity of NA lead to the conclusion that metonymic alternations of NA: глава – мозък are used in Bulgarian more often. They are based on the same function of both exchanged parts of the body: designed for thinking. However, in Polish exceptional and rare metonymies are possible: głowa – ciemię and głowa – mózgownica. The semantics of Polish and Bulgarian phrases concerns two categories: 1) the process of thinking (as a way of learning and memorizing as well as upsetting oneself); 2) the characteristics and the evaluation of human’s intellectual abilities. A detailed analysis was conducted within the confines of collections that realize the relations of initial phase, continuation and finalization. Furthermore, it was proved that very productive metaphors that organize the imagery in Polish and Bulgarian somatic phrases are the ontological metaphor of a container and the structural metaphor of a machine.

In the second chapter Anastasios brings the definitions of theological technical terms which he will be using in his polemics. To strengthen his argumentation he quotes more than 120 etymologies of different words. Among them are 17 etzmologies of the names of the parts of human body.

Введение. Исследование лексического состава селькупского языка обусловлено актуальными задачами современной лингвистики, заключающимися в необходимости описания языков, находящихся под угрозой исчезновения, и возрастающим интересом к изучению архаичных и устойчивых компонентов лексической системы, раскрывающих особенности материальной и духовной жизни народа. Представлены результаты комплексного структурно-семантического анализа ранее не исследованной группы лексем, относящихся к названиям частей опорно-двигательной системы человека. Материал и методы. Материалом исследования послужили тома полевых записей, собранные А.П. Дульзоном, словари селькупского языка российских и зарубежных авторов, включая труды по фонетике и этимологии, а также издания, посвященные культуре селькупского этноса. Комплексный подход обусловил использование нескольких методов при проведении исследования, среди которых основными являются описательный, сравнительно-исторический и сравнительно-сопоставительный, а дополнительными – метод компонентного анализа, метод лингвистической реконструкции культуры и квантитативный метод. Результаты и обсуждение. Структурно в рассматриваемой группе выявлено ядро, к которому отнесен соматизм *le, lī ‘кость’, и периферия, которую образуют два основных типа лексем: 1) включающие в себя компонент *le, lī ‘кость’ и 2) не включающие в себя данный компонент. Проведенный структурно-семантический анализ позволил выявить и комплексно исследовать 51 название частей опорно-двигательной системы человека в селькупском языке. Соматизмы данной группы обладают разными морфологическими структурами; шесть простых названий были образованы в уральский период формирования языка; большинство простых и некоторые производные названия обладают полисемией; простые соматизмы имеют дериваты, относящиеся к разным частям речи, и сфера их применения не ограничивается только обозначением частей тела человека; выявлены мотивы номинации исследуемых соматизмов; названия трех частей опорно-двигательной системы имеют непосредственную связь с духовной культурой селькупов. Заключение. Названия частей опорно-двигательной системы человека, имея древнее происхождение, являясь активными в плане словообразования, обладая многозначностью и отражая в себе информацию о культуре и мировоззрении носителей селькупского языка, свидетельствуют о том, что части тела, которые они обозначают, являются не менее значимыми для представителей селькупского этноса, чем любые другие. Introduction. The investigation of the vocabulary of the Selkup language results from actual tasks of modern linguistics aiming at description of endangered languages and the increasing interest to study of archaic and stable components of the vocabulary, revealing the peculiarities of material and spiritual life of people. The article considers the results of the complex structural and semantic analysis of a part of the vocabulary referring to the names of parts of the human musculoskeletal system. Material and methods. The books of field notes made by A. P. Dulson, dictionaries of the Selkup language written by Russian and foreign authors, including works on phonetics and etymology as well as books on the Selkup culture provided the material of the research. The complex approach determined the use of a set of methods at the research. The main methods are descriptive, comparative and comparative historical. The secondary methods are the method of componential analysis, the method of linguistic reconstruction of a culture and the quantitative method. Results and discussion. According to the structure the vocabulary under study has a core lexeme *le, lī ‘a bone’ and periphery which is formed by two main types of lexemes: 1) with the component *le, lī ‘a bone’ and 2) without the component *le, lī ‘a bone’. The undertaken structural and semantic analysis helped to select and carry out a holistic study of 51 names of the parts of the human musculoskeletal system in the Selkup language. The somatic vocabulary has specific characteristics. The somatisms have different morphological structures; 6 simple names were formed in the Ural period of word-formation process of the Selkup language; most of simple and some derived names are polysemic; simple names have derivatives belonging to different parts of speech and they are used not only to denote parts of a human body; the motives of nominations of some somatisms has been revealed; the names of three parts of the human musculoskeletal system reflect some elements of spiritual culture of the Selkups. Conclusion. The names of the parts of the human musculoskeletal system, being ancient in their origin, active in word-formation, polysemic and reflecting information about culture and world-view of the Selkups, prove that the parts of a human body that they denote are not less important to the representatives of the Selkup culture than any other.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTAn individual’s sense of the extent to which her or his body physically interacts with objects in the environment (body–object interaction; BOI) has been empirically shown to modulate lexical and semantic processing of object names. To allow for further exploration of the nature of those effects, BOI ratings for 750 Spanish nouns were obtained from 178 young adult participants. Statistical analyses showed moderate correlations between BOI indicators and some psycholinguistic indexes, such as word imageability and age of acquisition. In addition, an exploration of lexical associative relationships revealed that high-BOI words have a consistent tendency to be associated with words naming parts of the body. The ratings could be useful to researchers who are interested in manipulating or controlling for the effects of BOI in their language-processing studies. The complete norms are available for free downloading at Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/kd5vf/).

Slavic names of ‘the back’ and ‘the shoulders’ in the light of dialectal materials and historic sourcesThe meaning of the names of ‘the back’ and ‘the shoulders’ are very ambiguous, which is also characteristic of the other names of the parts of the body. Certain names of ‘the back’ often refer to only their upper or lower part, as well as to ‘the spinal column’, while certain names of ‘the shoulders’ also mean ‘the shoulder’, ‘the upper part of the arm, however, below the elbow’ or ‘the whole arm to the palm’. In the plural form, this causes the confusion between ‘the back’ and ‘the shoulders’.‘The back’ and ‘the shoulder’ have only one group of common indigenous names: *pletji, *pletj-E and several word-forming derivates. In the both meanings, one form – *pletji – occurred, which was characterized by an obvious territorial difference. In addition, in the names of ‘the back’, the names: spina and formations *χrьbьtъ, *χribьtъ, connected with the root *gъrb-, *lędvьje and *zada cover wide territories. The remaining ones are extremely rare.In the names of ‘the shoulders’, however, apart from the lexemes connected with the root *pletj-, names derived from the root *orm-, exhibiting a great morphological differentiation, occur. Lack of information in OLA records about grammatical forms somewhat complicates their interpretation. The clarification of complicated morphological transformations of these forms is made easier only by materials derived from beyond OLA. Historical materials prove that in eastern Slavic languages originally the names derived from the root *orm- were unknown.

Somatisms, or names of human body parts, are the oldest and most important components of the linguistic “picture of the world” of any nation. People have always had associations with something directly related to them and that they are familiar with — parts of the body. The most frequently used somatisms related to the upper body (head) were chosen as material for this study: hoved ‘head’, næse ‘nose’, mund ‘mouth’, nakke ‘back of the head’, hals ‘neck’, pande ‘forehead’, øje ‘eye’, øre ‘ear’. Since isolated somatisms act as independent units only in some specific contexts, the study also included compound words with these somatism-components as the second component. The analysis of meanings of the most frequent words belonging to the lexicalsemantic group “Upper part of the human body” reveals a rather mixed picture. On the one hand, these units in their literal sense make up parts of many compound words, which allows us to identify the main word-formation patterns for this sphere. On the other hand, somatisms in their figurative meanings are also actively used within compound nouns. Pseudoparticiples represent a separate group that can be metaphorised and in this case are used to characterize a person, together with evaluative nouns containing similar second components. In some cases, pseudoparticiples serve as parallels to evaluative nouns with a somatism as the second component. In the sphere of evaluative nouns, there is a weakening of the semantics of words used as second components, which clearly indicates that these units are on their way to become affixes. The word-formation potential of the somatisms under study is extremely wide and is determined by the importance of body parts in the sensory cognition of the world and in the subject-practical activity of man, which determines the number and regularity of the units derived from them.

Abstract Although it is undoubtful that today’s Medical English is rooted in Greek and Latin, it is particularly interesting that figures from Greek mythology are the roots of words to describe conditions, body parts, feelings, substances, etc. While there are numerous medical terms that are derived from the names of Greek mythological figures, this paper will only investigate words ranging from A to H and will try to justify the relationship between the concepts and the choice of terminology.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes an overview of the scientific literature devoted to the study of the current state of medical terminology research in linguistics. The urgency of studying particular aspects of this problem, their perspective and significance are presented. It emphasizes on the monosemantic basis of the term. Medical terminology is a system which is used to preserve the general lexical features of natural language units in a medical terminology database, which is a set of collective knowledge of conventional and complementary medicine. The source base of the study is Ukrainian and English medical terms. The thematic groups are represented: anatomical medical terms, clinical medical terms, medical terms of diseases’ names, dental terms and pharmaceutical terms. The anatomic medical terms are divided into thematic groups: parts of body and viscera, human body tissues, musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, endocrine system, central nervous system, senses system, urinary system, reproductive system. The clinical medical terms include the names of medical institutions and departments, methods of patient diagnosis, medical processes, surgical instruments and equipment, oncological, traumatology, obstetrics terms, terms of dietary and nanotechnology. The nomenclature of medical terms of diseases names, dental terms and pharmaceutical terms are systematized. The importance of the researched theme in mastering professional terminology is confirmed.

Field Mint [Polish: “Horse Mint”] (Mentha arvensis), Curly Dock [Polish: “Mare Dock”] (Rumex obtusifolius) and Dandelion [Polish: “Cow Dandelion”] (Taraxacum officinale). On the Names of Farm Animals in Folk Phytonyms
The subject of the article are folk phytonyms with an animal component. While analyzing the “animal” names of plants in the cultural context, the author reaches for so-called “co-linguistic data” (i.e. folk knowledge, beliefs and practices) related to animals and plants. Also, she arranges the phytonyms according to the semantic criterion, distinguishing the names of plants motivated by: (1) the animal’s appearance and (2) the appearance of the animal’s body parts, (3) animals’ smells, (4) the use of a plant as animal food, (5) the way in which the plant is used in folk magic and (6) in folk veterinary medicine. The analysis of dialectal names of plants in the cultural context makes it possible to consider the status of the animal part of the name. On the basis of her analyses, the author proves that both in the case of complex plant names and noun derivatives, the animal part of the name becomes “independent” in terms of a meaning and adopts qualitative meanings such as “big, great”, “dedicated to an animal (as food or medicine)”, “worse, useless for a human being”.

In recent years several papers have shown that different verbal and non-verbal semantic categories can be selectively disrupted by brain damage and that consistent anatomical localizations correspond to each category-specific semantic disorder. This paper aims to suggest that the brain regions typically damaged in a given type of category-specific semantic disorder might be critically involved in processing the kind of information which mainly contributes to organizing that semantic category and to distinguishing among its members. This general hypothesis is discussed taking into account: (a) comprehension and production of object names (nouns) and of action names (verbs) in agrammatic and in anomic aphasic patients; (b) verbal and non-verbal identification of body parts; (c) verbal and non-verbal identification of living beings and of man made artefacts.

This research focuses on the comparative analysis of metaphorical folk names of English and Ukrainian homeopathic plants. The paper identified and interpreted the cognitive and linguocultural underpinning of the metaphors with an emphasis on the isomorphic and allomorphic features of their motivational structures in the compared languages. The study reached four major findings. Isomorphic for the metaphorization processes are input source spaces of "plant distribution area"; "mythical person or creature"; "a diseased organ or symptom"; "behaviour"; "another plant"; "body parts of the animal, bird or human", associated with the plant as a target space in shape, general appearance, location, healing properties, time of existence and way of life. Isomorphic for English and Ukrainian folk names of homeopathic plants are the compound blending models involving more than two input spaces and few blending spaces, as well as the presence in their motivational structure of a symbolic component associated with nationally specific and universal archetypal symbols. Isomorphic for metaphoric plant names is metonymic compression in blending spaces, based on holonym-partonym substitution, and involvement in the blending the possessive and comparative schemas. Allomorphic input sources of English metaphors involve the spheres of "artifact", "body fluids", "mythological characters", "fantastic creature", "particular patterns of behavior"– in contrast to the Ukrainian intercultural synonyms where such conceptual input spaces have not been identified.

Abstract Introduction: Specific words have been adopted to designate the several structures in Human Anatomy. However, the same structure has different names, usually derived from proper names (or Eponyms), which is still reflected in conceptual errors that complicate the Teaching and Learning of Anatomy in Multidisciplinary, Transdisciplinarity and Metadisciplinarity approaches. Within the current importance of the generalist, critical and humanistic background of the professional, the multiplicity of names of scientists and researchers attributed to anatomical structures has created real difficulties during the preparation, writing and reading of scientific papers, including the communication between Researchers and Professors. Objective: The aim of this study was to critically analyze the use of eponyms in Health Sciences, as well as compiling the eleven mains terms in which the same eponym has been used to identify at least two different structures. Results: Eponyms are not representatives of the irst anatomists to describe structures or indicate some topographic, morphological or functional aspects associated with parts of the Human Body, and so must be replaced with a location, descriptive or etiological terminology that facilitates the structural understanding. Conclusion: Because of its clinical importance, eponyms will not completely disappear, but due to discrepancies and secondary confusions to its use, there have been many suggestions and impositions of anatomical societies to minimize their use.

Full textAbstract:
A comprehensive systematic monograph is presented for the genus Operculina Silva Manso (Convolvulaceae). Formerly included in tribe Merremieae D. F. Austin, now incertae sedis, recent systematic studies have clarified the phylogenetic relationships for Operculina and unequivocally demonstrated that it is monophyletic as currently circumscribed and that the unique operculate capsule is a synapomorphy for the genus. Other morphological characters useful for recognizing the genus are: large sepals forming a “pear-shaped” calyx that is broad at the base and tapers upward; calyx that is accrescent and persistent, often cupping the mature fruit; strongly spirally coiled anthers after dehiscence; and axial parts of the plant body (stems, petioles, peduncles, pedicels) that are often prominently winged. The current monograph accepts 13 species, including one variety and one purported hybrid; these taxa are distributed throughout the tropics globally. The hybrid is proposed to accommodate the extraordinary phenotypic variability and intermediacy among South Pacific populations of Operculina. The monograph provides detailed descriptions for all taxa, as well as an identification key, distribution maps, and summaries of ecology, phenology, vernacular names, and uses, with comments on synonymy, typification, variability, biology, and conservation, where appropriate. All names published or combined in Operculina (about 60 epithets) are accounted for as accepted names, synonyms, misapplied names, or uncertain names, or are excluded from the genus. New reductions to synonymy are proposed as follows: O. brownii Ooststr. becomes a synonym of O. codonantha (Benth.) Hallier f.; O. tansaensis Santapau & V. Patel becomes a synonym of O. ventricosa (Bertero) Peter. Lectotypes, neotypes, and epitypes are designated where necessary to stabilize names in current use. An index to numbered collections examined is provided to aid in specimen identification and herbarium curation.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the functional-semantic aspect of obsolete vocabulary, which is widely used in poetic texts of Serhiy Zhadan. The traditional approach to the classification of obsolete vocabulary is revealed, among which archaisms and historicisms are distinguished. Groups of archaisms – lexical, lexical-word-forming, lexical-phonetic, morphological, lexical-semantic are considered. It is noted that historicisms, in contrast to archaisms, have no synonymous equivalents in modern Ukrainian language. They perform proper nominative function in historical texts, reproducing facts, events and phenomena of past epochs.It was found that Serhiy Zhadan introduced outdated words, which he has organically inserted into the artistic fabric of poetic works. In poetic texts of the artist (the collections of poems “Templars”, “Antenna”, “List of ships” were taken as the source base of the study) among obsolete vocabulary lexical archaisms, lexical-phonetic and lexical-word-forming were found. The following semantic groups of archaisms: names of body parts; names of diseases; names of individuals by profession, occupation, etc.; names of military items, ammunition, concepts, etc.; names of family relations; names of numbers are distinguished.In Serhiy Zhadan’s poetic texts archaisms give the language a solemn sound, express the author’s attitude to the depicted, convey his feelings and enhance the emotionality of poetic works.Historicisms in poetic texts of the artist outnumber archaisms. The following semantic groups of historicisms are revealed in his creative works: geographical names; words that characterize the social status, place of an individual in society; names of former professions, occupations; names of extinct nations; names of historical epochs; names of household items, women’s jewelry, etc.; names of buildings or their parts; names of various scientific studies, directions, etc.A detailed analysis of Serhiy Zhadan’s poetic language made it possible to identify the main functions performed by obsolete words in poetic texts: realistic depiction of the events of certain historical epoch; strengthening of solemnity, pathos of the depicted; creation of strong perceptual effect; expression of author’s opinion, etc.Key words: archaisms, historicisms, semantic groups, stylistic means, expressive function, nominative function. Стаття присвячена функціонально-семантичному аспекту застарілої лексики, що широко вживається в поетичних текстах Сергія Жадана. Розкрито традиційний підхід до класифікації застарілої лексики, серед якої виділяють архаїзми й історизми. Розглянуто групи архаїзмів – лексичні, лексико-словотвірні, лексико-фонетичні, морфологічні, лексико-семантичні. Зауважено, що історизми на відміну від архаїзмів не мають у сучасній українській мові синонімічних відповідників. Вони виконують власне номінативну функцію в історичних текстах, відтворюючи факти, події, явища минулих епох.З’ясовано, що Сергій Жадан широко послуговується застарілими словами, які органічно вводить у художню тканину поетичного твору. У поетичних текстах митця (джерельною базою дослідження послужили збірки поезій «Тамплієри», «Антена», «Список кораблів») серед застарілої лексики виявлено лексичні архаїзми, лексико-фонетичні й лексико-словотвірні. Виділено такі семантичні групи архаїзмів: назви частин тіла; назви хвороб; назви осіб за професією, родом занять тощо; назви військових речей, амуніцій, понять тощо; назви родинних стосунків; назви чисел.У поетичних текстах Сергія Жадана архаїзми надають мові урочистого звучання, виражають авторське став-лення до зображуваного, передають його почуття, переживання, підсилюють емоційність віршованого твору.Історизми в поетичних текстах митця кількісно переважають над архаїзмами. У його творчому доробку виявлено такі семантичні групи історизмів: географічні назви; слова, що характеризують соціальний стан, місце людини в суспільстві; назви колишніх професій, роду занять; назви зниклих народів; назви історичних епох; назви предметів побуту, жіночих прикрас тощо; назви будівель, їх частин; назви різноманітних наукових учень, течій, напрямів тощо.Детальний аналіз поетичної мови Сергія Жадана дав змогу виділити основні функції, що виконують застарілі слова у віршових текстах: реалістичне зображення подій певної історичної епохи; підсилення урочистості, пафосу зображуваного; створення сильного перцептивного ефекту; увиразнення авторської думки тощо.Ключові слова: архаїзми, історизми, семантичні групи, стилістичний засіб, експресивна функція, номінативна функція.

Full textAbstract:
The paper analyzes the most productive and systemic model, which serves as the basis for lexicon and phraseology denoting manifestations of «the sixth sense» (premonitions and intuitional feelings), – the somatic model. With reference to the Russian literary language of the 19th – 21st centuries and some particular facts of jargons, popular language and subdialects, the author studies 4 groups of somatisms, which are the most representative in terms of expression of meanings, which are in the sphere of interest of the author: names of organs of the back of the body (спина, затылок, лопатки, задница, загривок etc.); nominations of the stomach and the inward parts of the body (нутро, живот, брюхо, печенки etc.); names of proper organs of perception (нос, ухо); the words тело, кожа (шкура). The analyzed model is realized in a variety of ways, the most significant of which are verbal-nominal combinations like чуять печенкой, почувствовать задницей, ощущать телом. The paper describes contextual meanings specific to the words studied: ‘premonition of trouble, death’, ‘fine organic feeling (of duty, obligation; profit etc.)’, ‘illogical perception of something which is usually perceived logically’, ‘perceptive synaesthetic feelings’, ‘the feeling of control (sense of chase, the feeling of somebody else's power’) and others. The author analyzes the reasons for appearance of the meanings, which are specific to each group of the vocabulary studied or which connect somatisms belonging to different groups.

Full textAbstract:
Compliant mechanisms, unlike rigid-body mechanisms, gain some or all of their mobility from the flexibility of their members. Complaint mechanisms are desirable since they require fewer parts, and have less wear, noise, and backlash than their rigid-body counterpart mechanisms. The field of compliant mechanisms is expected to continue to grow as materials with superior properties are developed. Inasmuch as evolution of efficient design techniques is viewed as an essential research activity, a parallel, systematic development of appropriate vocabulary (nomenclature, classification, etc.) is of primary importance. This paper proposes a standard nomenclature for the components of compliant mechanisms and discusses the relevant issues involved in this process. Definitions for components, such as “links” and “joints,” remove ambiguity that has been associated with these terms in the past. Names and diagrams are discussed, and are shown to be similar because they represent “abstractions” of the same mechanisms. The concept of “levels of abstraction” is introduced, and common levels of abstraction are identified. A concerted effort is made to be consistent with current literature on both rigid-body mechanisms and compliant mechanisms whenever possible.

Full textAbstract:
When informants from a given culture are asked to list items from a specified semantic domain, their lists provide two indicators of each term’s prominence or salience: its frequency of appearance across lists and its mean position within the lists that include it. Smith et al. (1995), Sutrop (2001), and most recently Robbins et al. (2017) have defined salience measures that combine these two sources of information. We argue that although frequency and mean position are correlated, the association between them is not perfect and not linear. Plotting them as separate axes of a scatterplot can be informative and complementary to combining them in a single salience measure. We illustrate this with scatterplots for three semantic domains: color terms, animal names, and body parts.

In particular, two elements are interesting: i) the exceptional diffusion of the red nevousto the whole hemicorpo; and ii) the evaluation of the way the patients <em>live</em> the disease, which has not beenpreviously considered in literature. We can conclude that SWS is a multisystem disorder that requires the neurologist to be aware of the possible endocrine, psychiatric, ophthalmological, and other medical issues that can arise and impact on the neurological status of the patients.

Full textAbstract:
Occlusion pedestrian detection is an important and difficult task in pedestrian detection. At present, the main method to deal with occlusion pedestrian detection usually adopts pedestrian parts or human body relationship methods. However, in the scene of crowd occlusion or severe pedestrian occlusion, only small parts of the body can be used for detection. Pedestrian parts or human body relationship methods cannot effectively address these issues. In view of the above problems, this paper abandoned the occlusion processing method of pedestrian parts or human body relationship. Considering that it is difficult to establish the relationship between parts and key points. The scale of visible parts of the occlusion pedestrian is small, and the scale of no occlusion pedestrian and occlusion pedestrian in the same picture is different. A multiscale feature attention fusion network named parallel feature fusion with CBAM (PFF-CB) is proposed for occlusion pedestrian detection. Feature information of different scales can be integrated effectively in the PFF-CB module. PFF-CB module uses a convolutional block attention module (CBAM) to enhance the important feature information in space and channel. A parallel feature fusion module based on FPN is used to enhance key features. The performance of the proposed module was tested on two common data sets of occlusion pedestrians with different occlusion types. The results show that the PFF-CB module makes a good performance in occlusion pedestrian detection tasks.

Children aged between 5 and 10 years old were tested on a semantic fluency (freelisting) task for two categories: animals and body parts. Additive tree analysis (Sattath & Tversky, 1977) was used to cluster items based upon both their proximity in the generated lists and their frequency of cooccurrence; the resulting trees, together with production frequency data, were compared across three age groups. For the animals category, this analysis revealed that although older children named proportionally more nonmammals, at all ages children tend to cluster animals according to their environmental context. For body parts, the analysis showed more parts, particularly internal organs, named with age and a cluster of face parts generated by all age groups. A novel feature of the current research was the use of statistical measures of additive tree similarity. The results are discussed with respect to theories of developmental change in the organisation of conceptual memory, and are viewed as supporting an assumption of continuity with age in the use of schematic relations in category structure. Insights are drawn from connectionist modelling to help explain the persistence, throughout childhood, of early forms of memory organisation.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with phraseological units (hereinafter - PU) of the English language containing somatisms, names of food, clothes and furniture, transmitting information about social relations. It is noted that PU are the result of secondary interpretation of knowledge, which leads to the cognitive models of their semantics formation being considered. The main research method is cognitive modeling. The authors reveal that in the course of secondary understanding of information about social relations, metaphorical, metonymic and metaphtonymic cognitive models can be involved. The research shows that when forming the semantics of PU transmitting information about social relations, the metaphorical model SOCIAL - PHYSICAL, MENTAL - PHYSICAL, as well as the models HUMAN BEING - ANIMAL (insect), HUMAN BEING (head) - CONTAINER can be used in the process of secondary interpretation. Metaphorical projection can be based on the following main characteristics: feature and action. The metonymic models involved are PART1 (product) - PART2 (producer), PART (specific manifestation) - WHOLE (phenomenon), PART1 (workplace) - PART2 (position associated with the workplace), PART1 (body part) - PART2 (external manifestation of an emotion), PART2 (cause) - PART1 (effect). The interaction of the EMOTIONAL - PHYSICAL metaphorical model and the PART1 (organ) - PART2 (functional significance) metonymic model was revealed in the metaphtonymic understanding of information about social relations.

Background. Acupoints (belonging to 12 meridians) which have the same names are symmetrically distributed on the body. It has been proved that acupoints have certain biological specificities different from the normal parts of the body. However, there is little evidence that acupoints which have the same name and are located bilaterally and symmetrically have lateralized specificity. Thus, researching the lateralized specificity and the relationship between left-side and right-side acupuncture is of special importance.Methodology and Principal Findings. The mean blood flux (MBF) in both Hegu acupoints was measured by Moor full-field laser perfusion imager. With the method of system identification algorithm, the output distribution in different groups was acquired, based on different acupoint stimulation and standard signal input. It is demonstrated that after stimulation of the right Hegu acupoint by needle, the output value of MBF in contralateral Hegu acupoint was strongly amplified, while after acupuncturing the left Hegu acupoint, the output value of MBF in either side Hegu acupoint was amplified moderately.Conclusions and Significance. This paper indicates that the Hegu acupoint has lateralized specificity. After stimulating the ipsilateral Hegu acupoint, symmetry breaking will be produced in contrast to contralateral Hegu acupoint stimulation.

AbstractThis article concerns five French prepositions that mark an inclusion relation and are ordinarily considered to be synonyms of dans ‘in’. The first is a simple preposition: parmi ‘among’. The other four are complex prepositions built from nouns of internal location (au centre de ‘at the centre of’, au milieu de ‘in the middle of’) and from names of body parts (au cœur de ‘at the heart of’ and au sein de whose word-for-word translation is ‘at the breast/bosom of’ but stands for ‘within’ ‘in’ or ‘among’ depending on the context). We will examine them from two different, yet complementary points of view. As part of a statistical approach, we use an association measure to determine the distributional trends of each preposition. In addition, we explore in greater detail the semantic mechanisms brought into play using the theoretical framework of Cognitive Grammar. This double analysis leads us to demonstrate that these prepositions are far from synonymous and involve very different types of constraints.

BACKGROUND: The solid-cystic tumor of the pancreas is rare, and had several names, including "papillary cystic tumor," "solid cystic tumor," "solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm." About 90% of cases are found in young women, measuring between seven and 20 cm in diameter, with 40% of them in the head, tail 32% and 28% in the body. CASE REPORT: Woman of 29 years was admitted for investigation of strong and persistent pain in right hypochondrium. It was performed ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography, showing lobulated mass with the consistency of soft parts in the tail of the pancreas, peripheral capsular enhancement and hypovascular center measuring 5.5x5,5x5,0 cm. MRI better defined, with intermediate signal on T1 and T2, small scattered foci of low signal on T2 and peripheral enhancement by gadolinium, suggesting tumor Frantz. She underwent parcial pancreatectomy and total splenectomy. Macroscopic and microscopic findings suggested, and immunohistochemistry confirmed the diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Should be considered this tumor in the differential diagnosis of abdominal masses in young women.
