The aim of this exploratory study is to show how visual information is verbally transmitted in an experimental task. The overall theoretical framework adopted is a modification of Chafe 1994. An experiment was designed in which a drawer was assigned the task of reproducing a stimulus picture relying only on verbal information provided by a describer. No visual contact was allowed between the subje
Abstract in French Cet article présente les résultats d’une étude pilote sur la production des verbes réguliers en –er par des adultes suédophones débutants en français langue étrangère. L’objectif est d’une part de voir dans quels contextes les apprenants produisent des formes du type je parlE et d’autre part de voir si l’input auquel les apprenants sont exposés en favoriserait l’émergence. Le ca
Memory for pictures and words - perceptual and semantic factors in the picture superiority effect Georg Stenberg, Växjö University, Sweden Memory for pictures is known to surpass memory for corresponding concrete words, an effect often attributed to the more distinctive perceptual form of pictures. A consequence of this view is that picture superiority would not survive a transformation in which o
Abstract Background: Total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) concentration is increased in elderly patients with mental illness. Also, patients with vascular disease have significantly higher plasma tHcy concentration compared with patients without vascular disease. Apolipoprotein E (apoE) status is associated with cardiovascular disease and a major genetic risk factor is inheritance of the e4 allele. In
We report on a theoretical study of the electronic structure of free-standing InAs and InP nanowires grown along the [100] crystallographic direction, based on an atomistic tight-binding approach. The band structure and wave functions for nanowires with both square (nanowires) and rectangular (nanobelts) cross sections are calculated. A comparison is made between the calculations for InAs, InP, an
