The topical issue today is the study of pragmastylistics Kazakh radio. Despite fact that history radio has been studied well enough, pragmatics and stylistics programs did not become object research. Another reason for relevance pragmatic broadcasts recently journalism departed from classical canons. Genres are being transformed, broadcasts, news reports losing, an increase in thematic musical ...

      In this study, the interaction between NO2+ cation and Hen (n = 1-7) clusters is investigated by means of ab initio calculations at MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ and QCISD/aug-cc-pVTZ computational levels. The first and second solvation shells were obtained while N atom of NO2+ interacts with five and two He atoms, respectively. Stabilizat...

Two experiments investigated whether the choice of anaphoric expression is affected by the presence of an addressee. Following a context sentence and visual scene, participants described a target scene that required anaphoric reference. They described the scene either to an addressee (Experiment 1) or without an addressee (Experiment 2). When an addressee was present in the task, participants u...

Let F be an automorphism of C which has an attracting fixed point. It is well known that the basin of attraction is biholomorphically equivalent to C. We will show that the basin of attraction of a sequence of automorphisms f1, f2, . . . is also biholomorphic to C if every fn is a small perturbation of the original map F .

Non-linguistic social signals (e.g., `tone of voice’) are often as important as linguistic or affective content in predicting behavioral outcomes [1, 12]. This paper describes four automated measures of audio social signaling within the experimental context of speed dating. We find that this approach allows us to make surprisingly accurate predictions about the outcomes of social situations.

Some of the microbes that live on (or in) animals are beneficial to their host. However, these microbes' more sinister brethren, parasites and pathogens, cause damage and disease. Between these two extremes is a class of organisms that, it...
