Abstract

How does modality affect our ability to create a newcommunication system? This paper describes twoexperiments that address this question, and extend priorrelated findings by drawing from a significantly moreextensive list of concepts (over 1000) than has been usedpreviously. In Experiment 1, participants communicatedconcepts to a partner using either gestures or non-linguisticvocalizations (sounds that are not words). Experiment 1confirmed that participants who gesture 1) produce morestrongly ‘motivated’ signs that physically resemble theconcepts they represent (i.e., are iconic), 2) are better able tocorrectly guess the meaning of a partner’s signs, and 3) showstronger alignment on a shared inventory of signs. Experiment2 addressed a limitation of Experiment 1 (concurrent feedbackonly in the gesture condition). In Experiment 2 concurrentfeedback was eliminated from the gesture and vocalconditions. Gesture again outperformed vocalization oncommunication effectiveness and sign alignment.

9. Cognitive Linguistics, Sociocultural Theory and Content and Language Integrated Learning: Researching Development of Polysemous L2 Lexis.

Author

Subjects

Abstract

This study applies cognitive linguistics (CL) to what Llinares et al. (2012) refers to as the three overlapping theoretical perspectives of content and language integrated learning (CLIL): (a) systemic functional linguistics, (b) Vygotskian-based sociocultural theory, and (c) dialogic inquiry. CL is complimentary to these theoretical perspectives because it views language development as conceptually motivated, meaning making, and usage-based (Langacker, 2000). Academic genre-based theory is another factor integrating content, language, and learning in CLIL. The specific meaning-meaning making under analysis is polysemous lexis that has both everyday and scientific (Vygotsky, 1978) or genre-specific meanings. Results of an empirical study indicate that using a CL-based approach within the zone of proximal development raises L2 learners' awareness of the metonymically motivated extension in meaning from everyday to genre-specific and significantly improves their comprehension of both meanings. This study concludes that by including CL as a conceptual link CLIL's pedagogical efficacy could be enhanced to further integrate content, language and learning: i.e., content and language conceptually integrated learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to find out the motives of Omani students to join Sultan Qaboos University and other universities outside the Sultanate. Ranking of importance of reasons as well as differences in motives of enrollment based on gender, college and residential area were explored. The researcher developed two questionnaires with 27 items. They were applied to a sample that consisted of 662 male and female students from Sultan Qaboos University and students studying in universities outside the sultanate. The results indicated that the motivesfor student enrolling in the first year at Sultan Qaboos University were: access to good financial support, availability of their specialization, securing jobs quickly, quick promotions, and good salaries. The results also indicated that the motives to join universities outside the Sultanate were: their GPA did not qualify participants for enrollment at Sultan Qaboos University, the unavailability of specialization at Sultan Qaboos University, the desire of their parents, receiving good monthly financial support, and negative perception of Sultan Qaboos University.

Abstract

Michelle Moody-Adams suggests that 'the main obstacle to moral progress in social practices is the tendency to widespread affected ignorance of what can and should already be known.' This explanation is promising, though to understand it we need to know what willful (affected, motivated, strategic) ignorance actually is. This paper presents a novel analysis of this concept, which builds upon Moody-Adams (1994) and is contrasted with a recent account by Lynch (2016). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

14. ASPECTUL INTERCULTURAL ÎN CLASIFICAREA UNITĂŢILOR POLILEXICALE STABILE.

Author

SAVIN-ZGARDAN, Angela

Abstract

Initially, stable poly-lexical units (SPUs) were denominative or connotative language units. Over time, with language evolution, some SPUs remained motivated and their components, or one of them, preserved the meaning. Other SPUs, initially motivated, became demotivated over time losing the link with the designated phenomenon. Extralinguistic factors constitute the primary stage regarding the creation of the SPUs within the language. The motivation of some SPUs origin is explained by the foreign provenance, being borrowed, calqued or entered into language through cultural ways. In this case, they should be considered as being general for many languages. Other SPUs should be regarded as indigenous originating from the Romanian language even if they have equivalent corresponding units in other languages. As we said, initially, SPUs were denominative motivated units if they designate certain concrete facts of environment or connotative motivated units if the speaker expresses his attitude towards a concrete fact from life. Some SPUs, initially motivated, became over time demotivated, losing the incipient meaning. Firstly, it is about the phraseological units which get the complete image over time. We can distinguish two big categories of SPUs according to their origin: denominative units and connotative units. Taking into account the classification according to extra-linguistic motivation we consider important to emphasize the principle of origin: indigenous SPUs and general SPUs. The indigenous SPUs are those that belong to functional - semantic fields: everyday life, professions and occupations, fauna, military domain, nature phenomena, tabu-notions. Genreal SPUs are classified as those that entered into life through cultural way: Bible, Myths, historical realia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Bakgrund: Antalet bilddiagnostiska undersökningar ökar. Behov finns att implementera riktlinjer för remisser till röntgenavdelningen. 20% av alla DT undersökningar bedöms inte vara berättigade. Under 2017 inleddes översättning till lokala förhållanden och implementering av iGuide på försök i en av Sveriges regioner. Syfte: Syftet är att studera röntgensjuksköterskors- och radiologers erfarenheter från berättigande av undersökningar på röntgenavdelningen. Metod: En empirisk studie med kvalitativ design. En induktiv ansats tillämpades. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med legitimerade radiologer och röntgensjuksköterskor. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med en manifest innehållsanalys. Resultat: Innehållsanalysen mynnade ut i följande subkategorier: Innebörden av berättigande, Ansvarsfördelning vid berättigande, Oberättigade remisser och åtgärder, Remittent och patient inverkar på berättigandet, Organisationen inverkar på berättigandet, Tillgänglighet av olika modaliteter inverkar på berättigandet, IGuide är grundat i problemen med berättigande, samt Resultatet från iGuide-projektet. Subkategorierna bildar tre kategorier: Berättigande av undersökningar, Förekomst av oberättigade undersökningar, samt iGuide som ett sätt att uppnå ökat berättigande. Slutsats: Röntgenutnyttjandet ökar och därmed problemen med berättigande. Radiologerna upplever att brist på tid påverkar berättigandet negativt, också att remittenten ofta har svårt att neka patienter. Röntgensjuksköterskor upplever att kommunikationen avdelningar emellan är viktig för berättigande. Det ökade utbudet av modaliteter beskrivs påverka. IGuide ökar andelen berättigade undersökningar, och minskar antalet begärda bilddiagnostiska undersökningar, men systemet behöver få en ökad användarvänlighet., Background: The number of image diagnostic examinations is increasing. There is a need to implement guidelines for referrals to the X-ray department. 20% of all DT examinations are deemed not to be justified. In 2017, implementation and translation into local conditions of iGuide in trial was initiated in one of Sweden's regions. The aim: The aim is to study the experiences of radiographers and radiologists from the justification of examinations in the X-ray department. Method: An empirical study with qualitative design. The inductive approach was applied. Semi-structured interviews were applied with licensed radiographers and radiologist. The interview material was analyzed with a manifesto content analysis. Results: The analysis resulted in the following subcategories: The meaning of justification, The shared responsibility in justification, Unjustified referrals and actions, Remittent and patient impact on justification, The organization impact on justification, The accessibility of various modalities affect justification, IGuide is based on the problems of justification, and The results of the iGuide-project. The subcategories form three categories: Justification of examinations, Existence of unjustified examinations, and IGuide as a means of achieving increased justification. Conclusion: X-ray utilization is increasing and thus the problems with justification. The radiologists experience that the lack of time affects justification negatively, also that the remittance often has difficulty in denying patients. Radiographers experience that communication between departments is important for justification. The increased range of modalities is described as affecting. IGuide increases the proportion of justified examinations, and reduces the number of requested imaging examinations, but the system needs to be given a greater user-friendliness.

18. Motivated Reasoning and VoterDecision Making: Affect and Evaluation.

Abstract

Recent work on voter decision making has suggested that our old cognitive-based information processing approaches need to be updated to consider the role affect plays in the updating of candidate evaluations. In particular, the idea that voters can dispassionately evaluate new information about candidates for whom they already have developed evaluations (that is, whom they already like or dislike) has been challenged by evidence of motivated reasoning. Motivated reasoners seem to stick to their evaluations even in the face of countervailing information. Studies by Lodge and Taber, Steenbergen, Meffert and colleagues and my own work have all shown attitude strengthening or polarization when voters encounter negative information about a liked candidate. By rational updating standards, a liked candidate for whom something disliked is encountered should then be liked less. But instead voters often seem to become even more supportive, counterarguing or otherwise discounting the new information. This paper reports on a series of ongoing studies using dynamic process tracing in a laboratory setting where subjects engage in a simulated presidential campaign, during which the affective value of the information they examine is manipulated in order to assess its effects on evaluation and updating. While we know that attitude strengthening occurs, we do not yet understand the mechanism and conditions in which it operates. In particular, this paper focuses on the question of how much negative information about a liked candidate must be encountered before the attitude strengthening function is overcome and voters adjust their evaluations to more accurately reflect the information that is encountered.

Abstract

This study considers the separability of preferences in legal decision-making. Employing an experimental design I investigate whether decision-makers are able to separate their views on three distinct policy matters from a seemingly neutral "threshold" decision they are asked to make in a case involving multiple issues. One hundred fifteen law student participants were given a mock legal brief containing identical legal arguments on both sides of a standing dispute. All participants were told that the issue arose in a case where the spouse of city firefighter was challenging an ordinance restricting the political expression of public employees. The experiment involved a 2 x 2 factorial design where the content of the political expression at issue (pro-life vs. pro-choice) and the jurisdiction where the case was pending (with direct controlling authority vs. without direct controlling authority) were experimentally manipulated. Participants’ policy views on (1) abortion (2) free speech and (3) restrictions on the political expression of public employees were measured to test how they influenced the standing decision. Findings demonstrate that participants were able to separate views on restrictive ordinances from the standing decision in line with traditional notions of decision making. Opinions on free speech, however, did seem to influence the decision. Also, abortion opinions interacted with speech content to influence participants? decisions, but in a manner not wholly consistent with legal or attitudinal accounts of decision making.

Abstract

The paper will report the results of a study that analyzes how (potential) voters form candidate evaluations in a dynamic campaign environment. We analyze the process by which initial candidate preference guides a subsequent search and selection of campaign information; how recipients of this information integrate it in an on-line affective tally; and/or how they store and retrieve the information from memory to form a final candidate preference and candidate evaluations. The study draws on several theories and addresses issues that have received considerable attention in recent years. The cognitive information processing framework (Lang, 2000) has paid increasing attention to motivated information processing. The central idea is that recipients of information are not just passive receivers of information but are actively engaged in processing information. Preexisting attitudes and preferences, as well as processing goals, affect the selection, perception and acceptance of messages (Baumeister & Newman, 1994; Biek, Wood, & Chaiken, 1996; Ditto & Lopez, 1992; Kunda, 1990; Lodge & Taber, 2000). The research cited above stresses the important role of affect in information processing, exemplified in concepts such as ?hot cognition? and on-line information processing (the sequential updating of evaluative tallies). Two types of process models are used to explain the formation of candidate evaluations (Lavine, 2002). The on-line process assumes that voters, once they have formed an initial impression of the candidates, incrementally update a running, affective tally for each candidate whenever they encounter information about the candidate (anchoring-and-adjustment heuristic). While the running affective tally is stored and is highly accessible in memory, the memory for the content of the information usually decays quickly. The memory-based process, on the other hand, assumes that voters only form a candidate evaluation when asked for it. Only then they start searching their memory for relevant information and integrate their thoughts into an overall evaluation. Our first research question (RQ1) is to determine which of the two processes postulated above is a better predictor of final candidate evaluations. Furthermore, information processing is goal-oriented, and the type of processing goal has been found to influence the processing mode (Huang & Price, 2001; Redlawsk, 2001). More specifically, the goal of ?forming an impression? about candidates should induce an on-line formation of candidate evaluations and lead to a lower recall of information. The goal to ?learn and remember as much as possible? about candidates should attenuate an on-line formation of candidate evaluations and facilitate a memory-based process. Our first hypothesis (H1) predicts that the information processing goal (task manipulation: impression formation vs. learning condition) will influence how candidate evaluations are formed (processing mode: on-line vs. memory-based, respectively). Processing goal and processing mode can influence how voters search and recall information about candidates (Lau, 1995). More specifically, voters who merely form an impression of candidates can be expected to focus on one candidate at a time (candidate-centered information search) and update their affective tally without encoding most content of the information in memory. Those who want to learn and remember as much as possible about the candidates can be expected to both look for and recall more information across candidates (comparative information search). Thus, our second hypothesis (H2) predicts that processing goal and processing mode influence the type of the information search (candidate-centered vs. comparative). Our third hypothesis (H3) predicts that processing goal and processing mode influence the amount of recall (low vs. high recall). Methodologically, the paper proposes and uses a computer-based study design that introduces enhanced realism in the study. Instead of exposing participants to a fixed set of specific messages in a static environment and merely measuring their reactions, our study used a dynamic information board that created a fictional campaign environment that is over-saturated with quickly changing information. Out of necessity, participants were forced to be selective and could choose only a limited number of messages. The computer-based study used custom-developed software (in Visual Basic 6) to dynamically present the information in form of headlines (and associated articles) and to track the information selection and processing behavior of the study participants. After completing the search, participants were asked about their perceptions and ratings of the information. Data & Methods The data collection for the experiment was completed in Summer 2002. Participants: The participants were 229 undergraduate students who were offered extra credit for study participation. Design, Procedure, and Stimuli: After participants completed an initial questionnaire about political issues, they were randomly assigned to either an accuracy condition (?to learn and remember as much as possible about the candidates?) or an impression formation condition (?to form an impression of the candidates?). The former condition was expected to induce a more systematic and objective information search, the latter condition was expected to facilitate development of an affective on-line tally as well as a more directional, biased information search that will strengthen the initial candidate preference. The subsequent procedures were identical for both conditions. All participants were asked to play the role of a voter during a fictitious election campaign for an open congressional seat in Illinois. They were told they should be prepared to vote for a candidate in the upcoming election. The experiment required that they choose headlines and articles from the last ten weeks of the campaign. During the task, participants were presented with a random sequence of 40 headlines that, when clicked on, opened newspaper-style stories associated with the candidates in a window. On the ?front-page? of the newspaper, participants always encountered four headlines that changed every 25 seconds to the next set of four headlines. On each screen, each candidate was mentioned in two of the headlines (one positive and one negative, respectively). The valence of the headlines was manipulated by using negative or positive words in the headline. A list of positive words (e.g., praise, hail, support) and negative words (e.g., accuse, oppose, criticize) was developed and used to create the headlines. The headline order across the ten screens and on each screen was randomized. The computer kept track of the selection and processing behavior (headlines, reading time) of the participants. After their ?vote,? participants were asked to complete several additional scales and tasks that measured information processing and effect variables. These included detailed candidate ratings, demographics, political predispositions, and a free recall/thought listing task. Participants were also asked to rate their recall items in terms of valence and importance for their candidate evaluations. They were also shown the articles they had read during the information search and asked to rate each of them in terms of valence and whether they perceived candidate bias. Implications By focusing on how voters process campaign information, the proposed study makes an important contribution to the research on how voters pay attention to campaign information and form candidate evaluations. The dynamic study design presented the participants with a fast-moving, information-saturated campaign environment that forced them to be selective. Giving participants the ability to select messages introduced increased realism in the experimental design and should facilitate the observation of motivated information processing. Because citizens in the ?real? world have the ability to be selective, denying participants in previous experiments this opportunity limits the ability of these studies to understand how recipients process political campaign information. The study design allows us to track and analyze participants? information search behavior. This makes it possible to better determine with more appropriate measures which processing mode participants use to form candidate evaluations. The actual encounter of messages during the information search helps to measure on-line processing, and the recalled information helps to measure for memory-based processing. By focusing on the process between stimulus (campaign information) and response (candidate evaluations), we are able to shed some light on the information processing that happens in the ?black box? of the human mind. Our paper will discuss in detail the implications of our findings for the specific theories involved and for political information processing in general. References Baumeister, R. F., & Newman, L. S.

Abstract

This research investigated the information selection and processing behavior of potential voters in a dynamic campaign environment. It was hypothesized that voters are subject to a negativity bias (preference for negative information over positive information), a candidate bias (preference for information about the preferred candidate over the opponent), and a congruency bias (preference for positive information about the preferred candidate and negative information about the opponent over negative information about the preferred candidate and positive information about the opponent). The effects of this information search were predicted to lead to biased perceptions of political messages as well as to more polarized candidate evaluations. Participants in this experiment were exposed to quickly changing information in the form of newspaper-style headlines on a dynamic information board. The main results indicate a strong preference for negative information and a lesser bias for information about the preferred candidate. Participants with a strong initial candidate preference, however, showed a disproportionate preference for negative information about the preferred candidate, contradicting the congruency hypothesis. We found support for a candidate bias in the perception of messages and the polarization of candidate evaluations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Subkategorierna bildar tre kategorier: Berättigande av undersökningar, Förekomst av oberättigade undersökningar, samt iGuide som ett sätt att uppnå ökat berättigande. Slutsats: Röntgenutnyttjandet ökar och därmed problemen med berättigande. Radiologerna upplever att brist på tid påverkar berättigandet negativt, också att remittenten ofta har svårt att neka patienter. Röntgensjuksköterskor upplever att kommunikationen avdelningar emellan är viktig för berättigande. Det ökade utbudet av modaliteter beskrivs påverka. IGuide ökar andelen berättigade undersökningar, och minskar antalet begärda bilddiagnostiska undersökningar, men systemet behöver få en ökad användarvänlighet. Background: The number of image diagnostic examinations is increasing. There is a need to implement guidelines for referrals to the X-ray department. 20% of all DT examinations are deemed not to be justified. In 2017, implementation and translation into local conditions of iGuide in trial was initiated in one of Sweden's regions. The aim: The aim is to study the experiences of radiographers and radiologists from the justification of examinations in the X-ray department. Method: An empirical study with qualitative design. The inductive approach was applied. Semi-structured interviews were applied with licensed radiographers and radiologist. The interview material was analyzed with a manifesto content analysis. Results: The analysis resulted in the following subcategories: The meaning of justification, The shared responsibility in justification, Unjustified referrals and actions, Remittent and patient impact on justification, The organization impact on justification, The accessibility of various modalities affect justification, IGuide is based on the problems of justification, and The results of the iGuide-project. The subcategories form three categories: Justification of examinations, Existence of unjustified examinations, and IGuide as a means of achieving increased justification. Conclusion: X-ray utilization is increasing and thus the problems with justification. The radiologists experience that the lack of time affects justification negatively, also that the remittance often has difficulty in denying patients. Radiographers experience that communication between departments is important for justification. The increased range of modalities is described as affecting. IGuide increases the proportion of justified examinations, and reduces the number of requested imaging examinations, but the system needs to be given a greater user-friendliness.

24. Developing systems to control food adulteration.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to explore the current strategies available to monitor and detect the economically and criminally motivated adulteration of food, identifying their strengths and weaknesses and recommend new approaches and policies to strengthen future capabilities to counter adulteration in a globalized food environment. There are many techniques used to detect the presence of adulterants, however this approach relies on the adulterant or means of substitution being “known” and no food item can ever be declared truly free of adulteration on that basis. Further techniques will verify the provenance claims made about a food product e.g. breed, variety etc. as well as techniques to identify original geographic location of food production. These consider wholeness, or not, of a food item and do not need to necessarily identify the actual adulterant. The conceptual framework developed in this research focuses on the process of predicting, detecting and reacting to economically and criminally motivated food adulteration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

27. Nascent and mature uses of a semiotic system: the case of image–text relations.

Abstract

This article first develops the system of image–text relations introduced in Martinec and Salway’s (2005) article – ‘A system for image–text relations in new (and old) media’) – mainly by focusing on the motivated quality of the relationship between the system’s meanings and realizations. This motivatedness points to the system’s being mature rather than nascent. The article then focuses on nascent uses of the image–text relations system, i.e. uses that have not yet stabilized and that could benefit from a semiotician’s intervention. The nascent uses in question regard the amount of inferencing that is required to identify equal-status image–text relations. Inferencing of equal-status image–text relations is first analyzed in old media and the effort invested in it is found to be quite adequate, which suggests a mature use of the relations. Examples of equal-status image–text relations from new media are then analyzed and it is argued that at times they require too much and at other times too little inferencing.Their use has thus not achieved an optimal state and has not yet stabilized. It is demonstrated that a semiotician’s intervention can lead to a more optimal amount of inferencing and thus drive the use of equal-status image–text relations in new media in the direction of mature uses.

Abstract

Research Question: What motivates females to become anti-fracking activists? Hydraulic fracturing is a way of obtaining natural gas and oil from deep within the earth by injecting high powered water and chemicals into shale rock to fracture it, and therefore release natural resources (Manfreda, 2015). We have seen much activism surrounding the issue of fracking because of the environmental and health controversies associated with it. We have also noted an increasing number of female activists and hope to determine the cause. By understanding what motivates women to become anti-fracking activist we can further encourage female activism in many other spheres. Source: Manfred, J. The origin of fracking actually dates back to the Civil War.

41. Lovers, wrestlers, surgeons: a contextually motivated view of interpersonal engagement and body alignment in surgical interaction

Author

Moore, Alison Rotha and Moore, Alison Rotha

Abstract

Models for describing how body alignment contributes to the meaning-making of human social contexts have tended to yield elaborate but instance-bound 'thick descriptions'. While this allows for very rich accounts of particular cases, these approaches do not lend themselves to systematic empirical comparison, for instance of how participants in a highly charged endeavour like surgery align their bodies to each other in ways that may construe different meanings under different conditions - e.g., different types of surgery, different phases of surgery, different levels of fatigue, engagement or personal involvement in the procedure at hand, when taking different agentive roles, when working with different teams, or just the effects of working on different days. The need for such empirical analyses in areas like surgery is increasing as we find more and more evidence that a team's sense of engagement is crucial to its capacity to avert and reduce errors (Wilson et al. 2005; Healey et al. 2006; Bezemer et al. 2011; Weldon et al. 2013). Recently, systemically oriented accounts have been emerging which hold promise for dealing with these kinds of empirical analyses. In particular, Martinec (2001) has offered a framework for analyzing the means of construction and expression of interpersonal relations through action, drawing on Hall's (1959, 1966) classic analysis of spatial distance between bodies, and incorporating his own analysis of reciprocal body angle. Yet what is missing from the leading models of body alignment is a systematic account of how the same distance and orientation selections may have quite different meanings even in subtly different contexts; that is, there is no systematic account of the dynamic role of context in the meanings attributed to movement and position. In this chapter, I examine what we can gain by emphasising the stratal rapport between context, semantics and expression choices in multimodal analyses, starting with the issue of how body alig

Abstract

How does modality affect our ability to create a new communication system? This paper describes two experiments that address this question, and extend prior related findings by drawing from a significantly more extensive list of concepts (over 1000) than has been used previously. In Experiment 1, participants communicated concepts to a partner using either gestures or non-linguistic vocalizations (sounds that are not words). Experiment 1 confirmed that participants who gesture 1) produce more strongly 'motivated' signs that physically resemble the concepts they represent (i.e., are iconic), 2) are better able to correctly guess the meaning of a partner's signs, and 3) show stronger alignment on a shared inventory of signs. Experiment 2 addressed a limitation of Experiment 1 (concurrent feedback only in the gesture condition). In Experiment 2 concurrent feedback was eliminated from the gesture and vocal conditions. Gesture again outperformed vocalization on communication effectiveness and sign alignment.

Perlman, Dana J and Perlman, Dana J

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of different relatedness supportive settings on the motivation, engagement and effort of a-motivated students in secondary physical education. 147 a-motivated students from 5 schools were taught in a setting that was either high or low in support for their need of relatedness. Data were collected using a pretest and posttest design to examine a-motivated student's level of motivation, engagement and effort. Repeated measures ANOVA's with follow-up comparisons were utilized to analyze the data. Results indicated that students engaged in the high supportive setting significantly increased their levels of motivation, engagement and effort compared with students in the low support group. Findings from this study provide the first empirical evidence that supporting relatedness can positively influence the affective aspects of students with low motivation.

Abstract

Medicinal chemistry and pure organic chemistry were merged in this thesis as two faces of the same coin. In the first part, more than a hundred hydrazothiazole derivatives were synthesized and tested as human monoamine oxidase B selective inhibitors in order to define accurate structure activity relationships. Our knowledge on human MAO-B inhibition was then applied to the synthesis of purine derivatives as potential dual human MAO-B inhibitors and adenosine A2A receptor antagonists. In the second part, the search for a new catalytic, asymmetric route to the synthesis of poly(hetero)cyclic compounds of biological interest led to the development of a new enantioselective approach to the phase transfer catalyzed cyclization of pyrrole derived substrates.

Abstract

I show (a) the correlations between intonation, prosody and pragmatic constituent order as far as UIH is concerned, and the iconic link between them; (b) that those factors and their linguistic expressions override and determine grammatical forms and roles, not the other way round; (c) that the relative importance attributed to each part of the utterance, as well as its communicative and expressive values, depend first and foremost on the speakers intention, idiosyncrasy, state of mind, context, relative urgency and the like, and that grammar is not the starting point of speech, in other words that the grammar-first hypothesis is dead wrong and that there is no dislocation. UIH is what it is about and not IS since the communication mode we are dealing with is pragmatic-deictic, not grammatical-semantic.
