Three Notes on Greek Semasiology

Notes on the Development of the Greek Frieze

T HIS paper does not purport to be an exhaustive study of the continuous Greek frieze and of its many problems; it aims rather at recording some observations and suggesting some theories, in the hope of stimulating further discussion and comments.7 Certain difficult questions will be touched upon only in so far as they relate to my arguments, with full understanding of the fact that much is sti...

Notes on Three Pathological Specimens

GREENgGLAZED WARE: THREE HELLENISTIC YASES BY CHRISTINE ALEXANDER, Associate Curator of Greek and Roman Art WITH NOTES ON THE GLAZES

One of the most striking of the Hellenistic pottery fabrics has not come to the notice of Bulletin readers for some years, although the Museum has a good selection of it. This pottery is decorated, if at all, with reliefs, and has a glaze which is so often bright green that the ware is referred to as "green-glazed," even though other colors occur. With the recent addition of several pieces, the...

Three Notes on Distributed Property Testing

In this paper we present distributed property-testing algorithms for graph properties in the congest model, with emphasis on testing subgraph-freeness. Testing a graph property P means distinguishing graphs G = (V,E) having property P from graphs that are ε-far from having it, meaning that ε|E| edges must be added or removed from G to obtain a graph satisfying P. We present a series of results,...

Three Notes on Early Austronesian Morphology

INTRODUCTION.1 Many Austronesian (An) languages—particularly those of Taiwan, the Philippines, and northern portions of Borneo and Sulawesi—have elaborate systems of verb morphology. To choose just one of many possible examples, Thao, spoken by fewer than 2fteen persons around Sun-Moon Lake in central Taiwan, has over 200 pre2xes, in2xes, suf2xes, circum2xes, reduplication patterns, and the lik...
