Nekonvencionalno niječno slaganje: ni u hrvatskom, španjolskom i francuskom

This paper explores the interaction between connective negation (‘neither ... nor’) and negative concord, an issue that has not received much attention. It looks at different ‘negative concord’ languages, viz. Croatian, Spanish, and French. The approach is synchronic; the data come from existing descriptions and from native speaker judgments. The paper describes the many idiosyncrasies but also lays bare some of the similarities.U ovom radu razmatra se međudjelovanje vezivne negacije (poput primjerice ‘neither ... nor’ u engleskom jeziku) i niječnog slaganja, što je pitanje koje dosad u literaturi nije bilo dovoljno obrađeno. Promatraju se neki jezici u kojima se provodi niječno slaganje, točnije hrvatski, španjolski i francuski. Spomenuta se pojava promatra iz sinkronijske perspektive, a podaci su prikupljeni iz postojećih opisa i temelje se na prosudbama izvornih govornika. U radu su opisane brojne idiosinkratičnosti niječnog slaganja u tri promatrana jezika, ali se ukazuje i na neke međusobne sličnosti

Negatives between Chamic and Bahnaric

The paper deals with the verb embracing double negation found in both Chamic and Bahnaric languages and with the question how it developed. We propose both an internal and external explanation. The former relates to what is called a ‘Jespersen Cycle’, a hypothesis about the renewal of single negation out of double negation, itself developing out of another single negation. The latter is language interference from Chamic to Bahnaric. We argue that the Jespersen Cycle hypothesis is more plausible for Chamic, thus revisiting Lee (1996), and that the language contact hypothesis makes more sense for Bahnaric, thus supporting a more general hypothesis about the direction of interference between the two families (Sidwell 2008: 261, 265)

Raising: Dutch between English and German

As a complement to C. B. van Haeringen's classic comparative study (1956) that positioned the grammar of Dutch in between the grammars of English and German, this study compares the productivity of three kinds of "raising" patterns in these languages: Object-to-Subject, Subject-to-Object, and Subject-to-Subject raising. It establishes the extent to which Dutch, as well as English and German, have evolved from the old West Germanic starting point these languages are assumed to have shared in this area of grammar. The results are a test case for Hawkins' (1986) case syncretism account of the difference in "explicit-ness" between the grammars of English and German. © Society for Germanic Linguistics 2011.published_or_final_versio

Mapping indefinites: towards a Neo-Aristotelian map

The semantic map that Haspelmath (1997) offered for indefinite pronouns is highly valuable, but it is problematic and too simple about the relation between the meaning of the indefinite pronoun itself, its context, and the resulting meaning-in-context. As a representation of the meaning-in-context, it is claimed that one should go back to the Square of Oppositions, more particularly, to a three layered ‘Neo-Aristotelian’ representation of this square

The monzonorite-anorthosite connection: The petrogenesis of terrestrial KREEP

There is a suite of rocks typically associated with Proterozoic massif anorthosites that bear some interesting similarities to lunar KREEP. In many cases these rocks are plutonic and have traditionally been referred to as the jotunite-mangerite-+/-charnockite-+/-syenite suite. However, in the Rogaland district of southwestern Norway, where they are referred to as 'monzonorites', these rocks are also present as fine-grained dikes and as the chill margin of a layered intrusion, and thus approximate magmatic liquid compositions are readily obtained by chemical analysis. Monzonorites are typically enriched in incompatible lithophile elements such as K (alkali feldspar is present), the rare earths (REE), and P. They have intermediate to low Mg', low-Ca pyroxene, and more evolved types have low Ti/Sm ratios. Much debate has developed over attempts to explain the link between monzonorites and massif anorthosites. One feature seems clear: monzonorites and associated anorthosites have different initial isotopic ratios, so a simple relation is not possible. However, there is apparently a continuum in major elements between the monzonorites and gabbros believed to represent magmas parental to the anorthosites. This continuum suggests a link via high pressure fractionation coupled with assimilation. Although more complicated, this scenario is similar to that evoked for the early Moon: following the formation of ferroan anorthosites, continued fractional crystallization of the residual liquids at the base of the crust led to the formation of KREEP. An attempt is made here to establish a link between monzonorites and high-Al gabbros which are nearly always found as ancillary intrusions associated with anorthosites, and which may record processes in lower crustal magma chambers

Performance analysis of a parallel, multi-node pipeline for DNA sequencing

Post-sequencing DNA analysis typically consists of read mapping followed by variant calling and is very time-consuming, even on a multi-core machine. Recently, we proposed Halvade, a parallel, multi-node implementation of a DNA sequencing pipeline according to the GATK Best Practices recommendations. The MapReduce programming model is used to distribute the workload among different workers. In this paper, we study the impact of different hardware configurations on the performance of Halvade. Benchmarks indicate that especially the lack of good multithreading capabilities in the existing tools (BWA, SAMtools, Picard, GATK) cause suboptimal scaling behavior. We demonstrate that it is possible to circumvent this bottleneck by using multiprocessing on high-memory machines rather than using multithreading. Using a 15-node cluster with 360 CPU cores in total, this results in a runtime of 1 h 31 min. Compared to a single-threaded runtime of similar to 12 days, this corresponds to an overall parallel efficiency of 53%

Geochemistry of cumulates from the Bjerkreim-Sokndal layered intrusion (S. Norway). Part II. REE and the trapped liquid fraction

Rare earth elements in bulk cumulates and in separated minerals (plagioclase, apatite, Ca-poor and Ca-rich pyroxenes, ilmenite and magnetite) from the Bjerkreim-Sokndal layered intrusion (Rogaland Anorthosite Province, SW Norway) are investigated to better define the proportion of trapped liquid and its influence on bulk cumulate composition. In leuconoritic rocks (made up of plagioclase, Ca-poor pyroxene, ilmenite, magnetite, olivine), where apatite is an intercumulus phase, even a small fraction of trapped liquid significantly affects the REE pattern of the bulk cumulate, together with cumulus minerals proportion and composition. Contrastingly, in gabbronoritic cumulates characterized by the presence of cumulus Ca-rich pyroxene and apatite, cumulus apatite buffers the REE content. La/Sm and Eu/Eu* VS. P2O2 variations in leuconorites display mixing trends between a pure adcumulate and the composition of the trapped liquid, assumed to be similar to the parental magma. Assessment of the trapped liquid fraction in leuconorites ranges from 2 to 25% and is systematically higher in the north-eastern part of the intrusion. The likely reason for this wide range of TLF is different cooling rates in different parts of the intrusion depending on the distance to the gneissic margins. The REE patterns of liquids in equilibrium with primitive cumulates are calculated with mass balance equations. Major elements modelling (Duchesne, J.C., Charlier, B., 2005. Geochemistry of cumulates from the Bjerkreiin-Sokndal layered intrusion (S. Norway): Part I. Constraints from major elements on the mechanism of cumulate formation and on the jotunite liquid line of descent. Lithos. 83, 299-254) permits calculation of the REE content of melt in equilibrium with gabbronorites. Partition coefficients for REE between cumulus minerals and a jotunitic liquid are then calculated. Calculated liquids from the most primitive cumulates are similar to a primitive jotunite representing the parental magma of the intrusion, taking into account the trapped liquid fraction calculated from the P2O5 content. Consistent results demonstrate the reliability of liquid compositions calculated from bulk cumulates and confirm the hypothesis that the trapped liquid has crystallized as a closed-system without subsequent mobility of REE in a migrating interstitial liquid.
