Sprache und Intentionalität : der Zusammenbruch des Kognitivismus

Das Programm für eine sog. kognitive Wissenschaft scheitert an der Aufgabe, der Intentionalität mentaler Zustände und Vorgänge Rechnung zu tragen. Insbesondere scheitert die kognitive Linguistik an der Intentionalität des Sprechens. Damit wird auch die Sprachauffassung vor allem der generativen Grammatik hinfällig; sie muß durch eine Weiterentwicklung der Sprachbegriffe ersetzt werden, die man in der Sprachwissenschaft bei der praktischen Arbeit im allgemeinen voraussetzt. Eine Neuorientierung in der Sprachwissenschaft scheint erforderlich

Towards a general theory of word formation: the Process Model

Foreword. The present essay—longer than a paper but shorter than a book—characterizes the Process Model of Word Formation that represents a new approach to word formation intermediate between constructionist and generative approaches; the model will be elaborated in detail in: Lieb, Hans-Heinrich (in prep.), The Process Model of Word Formation and Inflection. Amsterdam/Philadelphia: Benjamins. The essay, which is independent of the book, replaces an earlier, unpublished manuscript (Lieb 2011/2012), of which it is a completely revised and enlarged version. The essay was completed in July 2013; it is an outcome of work undertaken by the author since roughly 2006 but originating from still earlier work (first presented at a Research Colloquium held at the Freie Universität Berlin in 2001, and subsequently by a lecture read at the Annual Meeting of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Sprachwissenschaft in 2006: Lieb 2006).

The Freie Universität Berlin also houses a major effort at producing book- length Open Access publications in linguistics, organized into series: Language Science Press, langsci-press.org. The present essay does not fit this framework, both for lack of a suitable series and for being shorter than a book. An Open Access format was chosen for the essay by its author for a number of reasons, most importantly, to provoke discussion (contact the author via: [email protected]).

Das Ramirezsche Integral Und Die Lösung Der Gleichung ϑf= α Im Bereich Der Beschräankten Formen

Paper by Hans Grauert and Ingo Lie

Existence and stability of solitons for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation on hyperbolic space

We study the existence and stability of ground state solutions or solitons to a nonlinear stationary equation on hyperbolic space. The method of concentration compactness applies and shows that the results correlate strongly to those of Euclidean space.Comment: New: As noted in Banica-Duyckaerts (arXiv:1411.0846), Section 5 should read that for sufficiently large mass, sub-critical problems can be solved via energy minimization for all d \geq 2 and as a result Cazenave-Lions results can be applied in Section 6 with the same restriction. These requirements were addressed by the subsequent work with Metcalfe and Taylor in arXiv:1203.361

The use of weights to account for non-response and drop-out

Background: Empirical studies in psychiatric research and other fields often show substantially high refusal and drop-out rates. Non-participation and drop-out may introduce a bias whose magnitude depends on how strongly its determinants are related to the respective parameter of interest. Methods: When most information is missing, the standard approach is to estimate each respondent’s probability of participating and assign each respondent a weight that is inversely proportional to this probability. This paper contains a review of the major ideas and principles regarding the computation of statistical weights and the analysis of weighted data. Results: A short software review for weighted data is provided and the use of statistical weights is illustrated through data from the EDSP (Early Developmental Stages of Psychopathology) Study. The results show that disregarding different sampling and response probabilities can have a major impact on estimated odds ratios. Conclusions: The benefit of using statistical weights in reducing sampling bias should be balanced against increased variances in the weighted parameter estimates

Authors reply to Mushtaq and Minn-Din’s letter [Anxiety disorders in mothers and their children : prospective-longitudinal community study]

As Mushtaq & Minn-Din correctly point out, Bijl et al1 did not find associations between prevalence rates of any psychiatric disorder (including anxiety disorders) in children and anxiety-related symptoms in parents. However, one must be aware of several methodological differences to our investigation: the results cited by Mushtaq & Minn-Din are based on 12-month prevalence rates and multivariate logistic regression analysis additionally controlling for childhood adversities and socio-demographic characteristics. We would like to clarify that the results of the Bijl et al paper are much more comparable with our study and that the results we are actually referring to are those based on life-time prevalence rates of psychiatric disorders in children without controlling for childhood adversities and reported separately for the various offspring disorders. Here, Bijl et al clearly report associations between anxiety in parents and children. In addition, it is true that the adult children in the Bijl et al study were considerably older (18–65 years) than the offspring in our study (17–21 years at follow-up). We would like to add that there are other substantial ways in which the studies differ; for example, our use of assessment via direct interviews v. family-history information.1 Nevertheless, we do not see why our claim that we confirm and extend the Bijl et al study should be problematic, especially when taking into account the low median for age at onset of anxiety disorders.2 We would also like to point out that both studies were community-based so that the use of the term ‘patients’ by Mushtaq & Minn-Din is slightly misleading

Influence of Temperature, Hypercapnia, and Development on the Relative Expression of Different Hemocyanin Isoforms in the Common Cuttlefish Sepia officinalis

The cuttlefish Sepia officinalis expresses several hemocyanin isoforms with potentially different pH optima, indicating their reliance on efficient pH regulation in the blood. Ongoing ocean warming and acidification could influence the oxygen-binding properties of respiratory pigments in ectothermic marine invertebrates. This study examined whether S. officinalis differentially expresses individual hemocyanin isoforms to maintain optimal oxygen transport during development and acclimation to elevated seawater pCO2 and temperature. Using quantitative PCR, we measured relative mRNA expression levels of three different hemocyanin isoforms in several ontogenetic stages (embryos, hatchlings, juveniles, and adults), under different temperatures and elevated seawater pCO2. Our results indicate moderately altered hemocyanin expression in all embryonic stages acclimated to higher pCO2, while hemocyanin expression in hatchlings and juveniles remained unaffected. During the course of development, total hemocyanin expression increased independently of pCO2 or thermal acclimation status. Expression of isoform 3 is reported for the first time in a cephalopod in this study and was found to be generally low but highest in the embryonic stages (0.2% of total expression). Despite variable hemocyanin expression, hemolymph total protein concentrations remained constant in the experimental groups. Our data provide first evidence that ontogeny has a stronger influence on hemocyanin isoform expression than the environmental conditions chosen, and they suggest that hemocyanin protein abundance in response to thermal acclimation is regulated by post-transcriptional/translational rather than by transcriptional modifications
