Variation and variables in religious glossolalia

: metadiscourse in introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics research articles: exploring variation in frequency and type

abstract in written mode of language, metadiscourse markers are used commonly to help writers in general and academic writers in particular to produce coherent and professional texts. the purpose of the present study was to compare introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics articles regarding their use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers based on the model pro...

The Relationship between Demographic Variables and Religious Attitudes in Pregnant Women with Incidence of Infant Colic

Introduction: Despite years of scientific research, the true cause of neonatal colic is still unclear. In fact, the cause of the infantile colic is considered multi-factorial and it is not known whether the physiological or psychosocial factors are responsible for creating these conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between demographic variables and religious att...

Consonant Vowel Co-occurrence Patterns in Glossolalia

A preference for physiologically economical consonant vowel combinations labial+central vowel, coronal+front vowel and velar+back vowel has been identified as characteristic in infant babbling for a number of languages (Davis and MacNeilage 1990 and 1995, Zlatić et al. 1997, Texeira and Davis 2002.) In adult language, where perceptual needs demand combinatorial complexity, these patterns are le...

Variation of Area Variables in Regge Calculus

We consider the possibility to use the areas of two-simplexes, instead of lengths of edges, as the dynamical variables of Regge calculus. We show that if the action of Regge calculus is varied with respect to the areas of two-simplexes, and appropriate constraints are imposed between the variations, the Einstein-Regge equations are recovered.
