From addition to concession: Hebrew "gam" 'also'

ADDITION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF AMANITA (AGARICALES, PLUTEACEAE) FROM IRAN

Six species of the genus Amanita are reported from Iran. Among them A. aspera, A. caesarea and A. crocea are new members for Iranian fungus flora. Three previously reported species viz. A. battarae, A. ceciliae and A. rubescens var. rubescens are studied in details. All species areredescribed and illustrated with microphotographs and drawings. 

Diamagnetic GAM Drive Mechanism

GAMs oscillate between states of strong rotation and up-down asymmetric plasma compression. Hence, at first glance the natural turbulent drive (or damping) mechanisms for them is either a direct boost of the rotation – via Reynolds stress – or the creation of asymmetric pressure distributions – via transport. However, an up-down asymmetric pressure can also be created by the divergence of the d...

Concession and Linguistic Inference

In this paper it has been proposed that concession should be analysed as involving scalar implicatures and that an alternative set of situations have to be assumed to account for the the relative nature of likelihood of event occurrence. This paper also claims that the notion of likelihood is the basis of the corresponding pragmatic inference and a universal quantification effect. Unexpectednes...

How to Pronounce Hebrew Names

This paper addresses the problem of determining the correct pronunciation of people’s names written in Hebrew, by extracting clues from the way the same name is written in other languages, and by using a database of names whose pronunciation is known to guess the correct pronunciation of a given name. Names differs from other words in a language because they do not follow the language’s fixed s...
