Various Variation Aggregates in the LAMSAS South
نویسنده
چکیده
Techniques for analyzing variation in the aggregate have improved considerably over the past several years, but we still have no techniques which allow one to extract linguistic structure from aggregate comparison.1 The present paper explores one means of comparing aggregate analyses and linguistically motivated restrictions, essentially the technique of aggregating over a restricted input set. Using the Southern states data which Guy Lowman collected as part of the LAMSAS, we compare aggregate analyses restricted to vowel differences to those using the complete data set.

Rheological properties of self-consolidating concrete made by crushed waste tile aggregates
In recent decades, the use of self-consolidating concrete has become widespread. Hence, recognizing the various properties of self-consolidating concrete are essential. In this study, several mixture designs have been tested and final mixture design of crushed tile aggregates which were replaced by 0%, 25 %, 50%, and 100% volume percentage of natural aggregates were conducted. To evaluate fresh...
متن کاملIdentifying Linguistic Structure in Aggregate Comparison
Dialectometric techniques for analyzing variation in the aggregate are maturing rapidly, but there is still little agreement on how to extract linguistic structure from aggregate comparison. The present paper explores one means of comparing aggregate analyses in order to determine linguistically concise restrictions, essentially the use of factor analysis. Using the Southern states data which G...
متن کاملVariation of ionospheric slab thickness over South Africa
Ionospheric slab thickness is defined as the ratio of TEC to maximum electron density of the F-region (NmF2), proportional to the square of the F2-layer critical frequency (foF2). It is an important parameter in that it is linearly correlated with scale height of the ionosphere, which is related to electron density profile. It also reflects variation of the neutral temperature. Therefore, ionos...
متن کاملDaytime Ozone Variation in Surface Air in a Subtropical Mangrove Estuary at Manakudy, South India
Surface ozone (SOZ) can be very harmful if it exceeds the threshold limit. It can accumulate over sea and can return back to the land along with the breeze. Rural and vegetation rich areas often record elevated levels of surface ozone because of the variations in Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) levels, wind velocity and direction. Similarly methane is also an important greenhouse gas and plays ...
