The present study deals with the problem of word length in Estonian prose. As is well known from quantitative and synergetic linguistics, word length is no isolated phenomenon; rather, it stands in close interrelations with word frequency, sentence and syllable length, and others, resulting in language as a dynamically balanced system. Moreover, the frequency with which words of a given length ...

This case report describes the variations in visual performance of a subject with moderate keratoconus with changes in front surface eccentricities (FSEs) of PROSE (Prosthetic Replacement of Ocular Surface Ecosystem). PROSE device of 0.6 FSE provided maximum visual improvement and reduction in Higher Order Aberrations (HOAs) compared to 0, 0.3 and 0.8 FSEs in this clinical condition.

Unconventional discourse in schizophrenia has been speculated to be attributable to the mixing up of symbols and signs. We illustrate how a series of scientific images, cartoons, and prose are used by a patient to weave disparate-and objectively unrelated-concepts. The resulting prose is incoherent science.

Particular attention is paid to the features of picturing time in stories, to the past which is sometimes more important for understanding the motives and characters of L. Ulitskaya’s heroes than the present and even...

In this paper we offer comments on appropriate statistical methods for such work, and also on the nature of formal innovation in these two texts. Additional remarks are made on the roots of lineation as a metric...

The results of a computational analysis of all predications, finite and non-finite, in a one-million-word corpus of present-day American English (the "Brown Corpus") are presented. The analysis shows the nature of the syntactic differences among the various genres of writing represented in the data base, especially between informative prose and imaginative prose. The results also demonstrate th...
