a comparative pragmatic analysis of the speech act of “disagreement” across english and persian
the speech act of disagreement has been one of the speech acts that has received the least attention in the field of pragmatics. this study investigates the ways power relations, social distance, formality of the context, gender, and language proficiency (for efl learners) influence disagreement and politeness strategies. the participants of the study were 200 male and female native persian s...
15 صفحه اولThe “true” Column Density Distribution in Star-forming Molecular Clouds
We use the COMPLETE Survey’s observations of the Perseus star-forming region to assess and intercompare three methods for measuring column density in molecular clouds: near-infrared extinction mapping; thermal emission mapping in the far-IR; and mapping the intensity of CO isotopologues. Overall, the structures shown by all three tracers are morphologically similar, but important differences ex...
متن کاملThe Mass Distribution and Assembly of the Milky Way from the Properties of the Magellanic Clouds
We present a new measurement of the mass of the Milky Way (MW) based on observed properties of its largest satellite galaxies, the Magellanic Clouds (MCs), and an assumed prior of a ΛCDM universe. The large, high-resolution Bolshoi cosmological simulation of this universe provides a means to statistically sample the dynamical properties of bright satellite galaxies in a large population of dark...
متن کاملThe Formation of Molecular Clouds
In a recent paper, Elmegreen (2000) has made a cogent case, from an observational point of view, that the lifetimes of molecular clouds are comparable to their dynamical timescales. If so, this has important implications for the mechanisms by which molecular clouds form. In particular we consider the hypothesis that molecular clouds may form not by in situ cooling of atomic gas, but rather by t...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Molecular Clouds
Molecular clouds constitute the densest parts of the interstellar medium in galaxies, and ever since their discovery 25 years ago they have been of prime interest as the sites of star formation. Molecular clouds also play an important galactic role in that massive stars recently formed in them provide the main energy sources for the interstellar medium, partly by destroying their birth clouds a...
