Kumyk verb classification

This paper provides a classification of Terek Kumyk verbs in terms of event and argument structure. The classes are built on three main parameters: stativity / dynamicity, degree of agentivity, and presence and type of a result state in the event structure of a verb. The results of the classification can be further used for making various generalizations about syntax and semantics of Terek Kumyk

The estimation of efficiency of insect traps of various construction for phytosanitary monitoring

Timely and accurate phytosanitary monitoring is of great importance to organize plant protection from pests. Recently, in order to attract and trap (destroy) insects, the use of super bright light emitted diodes (LEDs) has attracted great interest. In this connection, the purpose of our research was to manufacture trap designs based on super bright LEDs for phytosanitary monitoring and to evaluate their efficiency. We have developed and manufactured three models of a conical trap, differing in the way of collecting insects. The first trap (KLP-1) used a cartridge with the entomological glue “Polifiks”. The second trap (KL-2) accumulated insects in a transparent elastic collector of the lower part of the cylinder. The third trap (AKL-2) used the cylinder in the upper part equipped with a low-power aspirator as an accumulator of insects similar to the second trap. Powerful single LEDs with 365 and 395 nm of wavelength were used as efficient sources to attract insects. The LEDs in the traps were arranged in a circle, which evenly provided luminescence with an angle of 360°. In May 2018, the traps were tested on meadow grass. The collection of trapped insects was carried out every day. Insects that were trapped at regular time intervals were calculated by the number of individuals larger than 5 mm and the total weight. As a result, it was established that the conical trap equipped with an aspirator (AKL-2) was the most efficient. The efficiency of this trap is almost two times higher than that of the trap KL-2 and 20-30% higher than the trap KLP-1. The developed traps showed a high trapping ability and can be used in the production of specific agricultural crops to identify insects inhabiting them

Proceedings of TripleA 10

The TripleA workshop series was founded in 2014 by linguists from Potsdam and Tübingen with the aim of providing a platform for researchers that conduct theoretically-informed linguistic fieldwork on meaning. Its focus is particularly on languages that are under-represented in the current research landscape, including but not limited to languages of Africa, Asia, and Australia, hence TripleA. For its 10th anniversary, TripleA returned to the University of Potsdam on the 7-9th of June 2023. The programme included 21 talks dealing with no less than 22 different languages, including three invited talks given by Sihwei Chen (Academia Sinica), Jérémy Pasquereau (Laboratoire de Linguistique de Nantes, CNRS) and Agata Renans (Ruhr-Universität Bochum). Nine of these (invited or peer-reviewed) talks are featured in this volume.Die TripleA-Workshop-Reihe wurde 2014 von Linguisten aus Potsdam und Tübingen mit dem Ziel gegründet, eine Plattform für Forscherinnen und Forscher zu bieten, die theoretisch informierte Feldforschung zu sprachlicher Bedeutung betreiben. Der Fokus liegt insbesondere auf Sprachen, die in der aktuellen Forschungslandschaft unterrepräsentiert sind, einschließlich (aber nicht ausschließlich) auf Sprachen aus Afrika, Asien und Australien: daher der Name TripleA. Zu seinem 10-jährigen Bestehen kehrte TripleA vom 7. Bis 9. Juni 2023 an die Universität Potsdam zurück. Das Programm umfasste 21 Vorträge zu nicht weniger als 22 verschiedenen Sprachen, darunter drei eingeladene Vorträge von Sihwei Chen (Academia Sinica), Jérémy Pasquereau (Laboratoire de Linguistique de Nantes, CNRS) und Agata Renans (Ruhr-Universität Bochum). Neun dieser (eingeladenen oder begutachteten) Vorträge sind in diesem Band abgedruckt
