In contrast to the several antigenic markers identified on murine natural killer (NK) 1 cells (1-3), human NK cells have so far been characterized only by surface properties and receptors (4, 5) that do not allow discrimination from many other peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Detection of human NK cells is therefore largely based on the measurement of in vitro cytolytic reactivity against ce...

R in Swiss German Dialects

Speech rhythm can be measured acoustically in terms of durational characteristics of consonantal and vocalic intervals. The present paper investigated how acoustically measurable rhythm varies across dialects of Swiss German. Rhythmic measurements (%V, ∆C, ∆V, varcoC, varcoV, rPVI-C, nPVIC, nPVI-V) were carried out on four sentences of six speakers from eight Swiss dialects. Results indicate th...

Realisations and alternations in German /r/-realisation

Rhotics, generally believed to be phonetically heterogeneous – are usually classified into one group of sounds due to their similar phonological behaviour and their diachronic and synchronic alternation [13, 12, 31, and 1]. Previous research has shown considerable segmental variation, especially in the realisation of /r/ in German which lead some authors to conclude that a positive description ...
