The syntax and semantics of quantifiers is of crucial significance in current linguistic theorizing for more than one reason. The last statement of his grammatical theories by the late Richard Montague (1 973) is modestly entitled " The Proper Treatment of Quantification in Ordinary English ". In the authoritative statement of his " Generative Semantics " , George Lakoff (1971, especially pp. 2...

This paper examines metaphorical expressions labelled under the conceptual metaphor A WOMEN IS AN OBJECT originating from 30 performances by female North American stand-up comedians. By combining Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980/2003) and comedy research, this corpus- dictionary-assisted study how women womanhood are conceptualized in terms of objects such as buildings, fo...

José Watanabe y Carlos López Degregori son dos grandes poetas peruanos de los años setenta del siglo pasado. El artículo sitúa a autores en el ámbito la tradición literaria peruana. En poesía Watanabe, predominan las metáforas ontológicas; por contrario, preponderan orientacionales. análisis se sustenta ideas George Lakoff Mark Johnson para examinar dichos procedimientos metafóricos plantear qu...

What these examples illustrate is that a particular Trajector (TR) can, in conjunction with a particular Landmark (LM), affect the interpretation of a preposition. On one hand, the interpretation ascribed to the sentence in (1) is that the LM, the bowl, contains or surrounds the TR, the fruit. On the other hand, in (2) the conventional interpretation is that the TR, the crack, constitutes a fla...

An efficient and direct procedure for the synthesis of benzo[h]-indeno[1,2-b]-quinoline derivatives has been described. The procedure employs a three-component condensation reaction in one-pot using 2H-indene-1, 3-dione, naphthalen-1-amine,and aldehydes in the presence of catalytic amount of L-prolinein aqueous media.

The mammalian olfactory sense employs several olfactory subsystems situated at characteristic locations in the nasal cavity to detect and report on different classes of odors. These olfactory subsystems use different neuronal signal transduction pathways, receptor expression repertoires, and axonal projection targets. The Grueneberg ganglion (GG) is a newly appreciated olfactory subsystem with ...

An auditory neuron can preserve the temporal fine structure of a low-frequency tone by phase-locking its response to the stimulus. Apart from sound localization, however, much about the role of this temporal information for signal processing in the brain remains unknown. Through psychoacoustic studies we provide direct evidence that humans employ temporal fine structure to discriminate between ...

Metaphors are generally accepted as essential to the design of effective human computer interfaces. However, “The generally assumed theoretical benefits of user interface metaphor are supported by surprisingly little empirical evidence.” (Blackwell, 1998) This paper discusses the concept of “concrete metaphor” and the problems that it presents in interface and interaction design. Concrete metap...
