This article reviews chronometric and neuroimaging evidence on attention to spoken word planning, using the WEAVER++ model as theoretical framework. First, chronometric studies on the time to initiate vocal responding and gaze shifting suggest that spoken word planning may require some attention, even though it is one of our most highly practiced psychomotor skills. Second, neuroimaging studies...

Line spectrum pairs (LSPs) are the roots (located in the complex-frequency or -plane) of symmetric and antisymmetric polynomials synthesized using a linear prediction (LPC) polynomial. The angles of these roots, known as line-spectral frequencies (LSFs), implicitly represent the LPC polynomial and hence the spectral envelope of the underlying signal. By exploiting the duality between the time a...

Chronometric geodesy applies general relativity to study the problem of the shape of celestial bodies including the earth, and their gravitational field. The present paper discusses the relativistic problem of construction of a background geometric manifold that is used for describing a reference ellipsoid, geoid, the normal gravity field of the earth and for calculating geoid’s undulation (hei...

The territory of present day Armenia is a geographic contact zone between the Near East and the northern Caucasus. Armenian Middle and Upper Paleolithic records are both few and patchy as a result of the historical paucity of systematic archaeological research in the country. Consequently, it is currently difficult to correlate the Armenian Middle and Upper Paleolithic records with those from o...

Languages such as English contain a large number of words with multiple meanings. These words are commonly termed "lexlcal ambiguities", although it is probably more accurate to speak of them as potentially ambiguous. Determining how the contextually appropriate reading of a word is identified presents an important and unavoidable problem for persons developing theories of natural language proc...

For David Epstein (Shaping Time, 1995) the organisation of time is dual in nature. This duality yields two modes of structure, a clock-like organisation (chronometric time) and an organisation that is unique to a particular experience (integral time). For him, chronometric time is periodic in nature and structured by constant factors, whereas integral time is structured by elements intrinsic to...
