The present article presents a study of the raising of overlong mid vowels in Estonian dialects. Long mid vowels of South Estonian dialects (Mulgi, Tartu and Võru) have split into full-long mid vowels (Q2) and into overlong raised mid vowels (Q3). Raising of mid vowels also characterises West Estonian dialects. The formant values of raised mid vowels of Võru and Mulgi show that they are much hi...

Mid-dermal elastolysis (MDE) is a rare skin disorder clinically characterized by the appearance of diffuse fine wrinkling, most often of the trunk and arms. This entity is distinguished from other elastolytic disorders by its characteristic selective loss of elastic fibers of the mid dermis. The aetiopathogenesis of the disease is still unclear as well as the effective treatment. Half of the ca...

This study investigated the effect of Narrow Reading (NR) on learning mid-frequency words. Vocabulary Size Test (VST) designed by Nation and Beglar (2007) was administered as the first pre-test to 196 students, from among whom 91 students whose vocabulary size ranged between 2100- 3500-word families, , became the target of this study and were randomly c...

Descriptions of dramatic scenes occur frequently in fiction books, not only describing the layout and contents of a scene, but often including details such as the speech articulated by characters in a scene, and the movements and actions performed by the characters. Provided these descriptions can be accurately identified and interpreted, they serve as instructions for populating three-dimensio...
