Abstract This article analyses, from the perspective of lexicological research proposed by Georges Matoré (1948), witness-word included in title short story «La Cadia ». The starting hypothesis is that linguistic sign cadia , as a lexical invention derived Arabic legal term and keyword qāḍ (qadi), has communicative function epigraph, typical discursive superstructure medieval Islamic khabar aut...

The article deals with the functional-stylistic and communicative-pragmatic features of intertextuality in headline complexes their compositional role modern mediatexts (based on publications information-analytical weekly "Dzerkalo tyzhnya"). Intertext is a cognitive-communicative category text-forming element, which implements author's idea. intertextual techniques are used main headings, subh...

Optimal monetary policy is studied, by way of numerical examples, in a model with (i) heterogeneity in the degree to which different people are monitored (have publicly known histories); (ii) idiosyncratic shocks that give rise to heterogeneity in earning and spending realizations; and (iii) central-bank intervention in a “market” in claims or credit in which the participants are those who are ...

Our epigraph indicates that contemporary Pacific Island peoples make metaphoric use of canoes, but this is an old phenomenon. Maori tribes were loosely confederated into groups they called "canoes" and named for the vessels on which their mythical ancestors were said to have migrated to New Zealand (Firth 1929:115-116; see also 90). Yapese spoke of marriageable women as "navigators of canoes" i...

Prox-regularity of a set (Poliquin-Rockafellar-Thibault, 2000), or its global version, proximal smoothness (Clarke-Stern-Wolenski, 1995) plays an important role in variational analysis, not only because it is associated with some fundamental properties as the local continuous differentiability of the function dist (C; ·), or the local uniqueness of the projection mapping, but also because in th...

We give, in a non-smooth setting, some conditions under which (some of) the minimizers of ∫ Ω f (∇u(x)) dx + g(x,u(x)) dx among the functions in W1,1(Ω) that lie between two Lipschitz functions are Lipschitz. We weaken the usual strict convexity assumption in showing that, if just the faces of the epigraph of a convex function f :Rn → R are bounded and the boundary datum u0 satisfies a generali...

In this paper, we consider convex quadratic optimization problems with indicator variables when the matrix Q defining term in objective is sparse. We use a graphical representation of support Q, and show that if graph path, then can solve associated problem polynomial time. This enables us to construct compact extended formulation for closure hull epigraph mixed-integer problem. Furthermore, mo...

As the epigraph illustrates, feeling pride in oneself, or having one’s “passions” “cluster about the ego,” is a central part of human nature. Scheff (1988, p. 399) went so far as to claim, “We are virtually always in a state of pride or shame.” Although this statement may be somewhat extreme, Scheff made a prescient observation: our everyday lives are frequently infused with a sense of mastery ...

ii Epigraph " The eyes are the most important part of an expression, and must be drawn with extreme care. Any jitter or false move on an inbetween destroys both communication and believability.
