In this paper, we address non-Euclidean geometrical aspects of the Schur and Levinson–Szegö algorithms. We first show that the Lobachevski geometry is, by construction, one natural geometrical environment of these algorithms, since they necessarily make use of automorphisms of the unit disk. We next consider the algorithms in the particular context of their application to linear prediction. The...

The relationship between the interlocutors is known, in Sociolinguistics and Pragmatics, to be influential on speakers’ tone of voice. This study examined this phenomenon from acoustical aspects by measuring the duration and pitch of the dialogues made by pairs of talkers. Shorter word duration is found between strangers’ dialogues and lower pitch register is found in female talkers’ speech to ...

In this paper I argue against the theory – popular among theorists of narrative artworks – that we must posit a fictional narrative agent in every narrative artwork in order to explain our imaginative engagement with such works. I accept that every narrative must have a narrator, but I argue that in some central literary cases the narrator is not a fictional agent, but rather the actual author ...

The paper is a presentation of recent investigations on potential scattering in R. We advocate a new formula for the wave operators and deduce the various outcomes that follow from this formula. A topological version of Levinson’s theorem is proposed by interpreting it as an index theorem.

This paper analyses a corpus of compliment responses in Turkish according to the conversational maxim approach (Leech 1983, 2003) and face-management (Brown Levinson 1987) with view extending conceptualisation self-presentation theorising on politeness. It observes that two theories ground politeness consideration for alter give precedence sense displaying deference solidarity at expense self-p...
