German glide formation functionally viewed *
نویسندگان
چکیده
Glide formation, a process whereby an underlying high front vowel is realized as a palatal glide, is shown to occur only in unstressed prevocalic position in German, and to be blocked by specific surface restrictions such as *ji and *“j. Traditional descriptions of glide formation (including derivational as well as Optimality theoretic approaches) refer to the syllable in order to capture its conditions. The present study illustrates that glide formation (plus the distribution of long and short tense /i/) in German can better be captured in a Functional Phonology account (Boersma 1998) which makes reference to stress instead of the syllable and thus overcomes problems of former approaches.

Coordination Pattern Adaptability: Energy Cost of Degenerate Behaviors
This study investigated behavioral adaptability, which could be defined as a blend between stability and flexibility of the limbs movement and their inter-limb coordination, when individuals received informational constraints. Seven expert breaststroke swimmers performed three 200-m in breaststroke at constant submaximal intensity. Each trial was performed randomly in a different coordination p...
متن کاملMobility of dislocations in semiconductors
Atomic-scale calculations for the dynamics of the 90 partial glide dislocation in silicon are made using the effective-medium tight-binding theory. Kink formation and migration energies for the reconstructed partial dislocation are compared with experimental results for the mobility of this dislocation. The results confirm the theory that the partial moves in the dissociated state via the forma...

OBJECTIVES The aim was to evaluate dentinal crack formation after root canal preparation with ProTaper Next system (PTN) with and without a glide path. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-five mesial roots of mandibular first molars were selected. Fifteen teeth were left unprepared and served as controls. The experimental groups consist of mesiobuccal and mesiolingual root canals of remaining 30 teet...
متن کاملDislocation motion in silicon: the shuffle-glide controversy revisited
Considering recently computed formation and migration energies of kinks on non-dissociated dislocations, we have compared the relative mobilities of glide partial and shuffle perfect dislocations in silicon. We found that the latter should be more mobile over all the available stress range, invalidating the model of a stress driven transition between shuffle and glide dislocations. We discuss s...
متن کاملOn the sweeping mechanism of dipolar dislocation loops under fatigue conditions
Dislocation dynamics simulations of the interaction between prismatic dipolar loops and a glide screw dislocation are presented. As a result of stress gradients generated by the glide dislocation, dipolar loops execute drift motion along their glide cylinders. Simulations of the combined motion of two dipolar loops in the stress field of a glide dislocation clearly show that inter-loop forces a...
