Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2013 2nd International Conference on Manufacture Engineering, Quality and Production System (ICMEQP 2013), February 27-28, 2013, Hong Kong, China
This book focuses on the translation of English academic texts into German, closely analysing the structural and discourse properties of original sentences and their possible translations. It consists of six chapters, with more than a hundred carefully discussed examples, and presents the author s results of a series of research projects which have successively dealt with the typologically determined conditions for discourse-appropriate uses of word order, case, voice (perspective) and structural explicitness in simple and complex sentences or sequences of sentences. The theoretical and methodological assumptions of the book follow a basically generative approach in studying the interaction between semantic-pragmatic and phonological-syntactic properties of the linguistic forms as they are involved in the perception of written language. The linguistic and psycholinguistic models accessed are also introduced in detail to promote comprehension for the interested reader with an alternative theoretical background, whether scholar, student or translator.
This book is divided into five sections dealing with various fundamental issues in current research: attention, information processing and eye movement control; the role of phonology in reading; syntax and discourse processing and computational models and simulations. Control and measurement of eye movements form a prominent theme in the book. A full understanding of the where and when of eye movement control is a prerequisite of any complete theory of reading, since it is precisely at this point that perceptual and cognitive processes interact. Amongst the 'hot topics' included are the relation between parafoveal and foveal visual processing of linguistic information, the role of phonology ...
The innovative element of this volume is its overview of the fundamental psycholinguistic topics involved in sentence processing. While most psycholinguistic studies focus on a single language and induce a general model of universal sentence processing, this volume proposes a cross-linguistic approach. It contains two distinct features first embraced in the 18th century by brothers Freiherr Wilhelm von Humboldt and Alexander von Humboldt. First, it offers a linguistic theory that characterizes universal cognitive features of the human language processor (or the mind and its biological source), independent of a single language structure. Second, it contains a language theory which considers t...

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the Symposium on Mechatronics Systems, Mechanics and Materials 2013, October 9-10, 2013, Jastrzębia Góra, Poland
This volume presents an exciting sample of the most recent research on the processing of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
Building on decades of “host-guest” research, recent years have seen a surge of activity in water-soluble supramolecular receptors for protein recognition and assembly. Progress has been particularly rich in the area of calixarenes, cucurbiturils and molecular tweezers. Emerging applications include controlled protein assembly in solution, crystal engineering, supramolecular control of catalysis (both in vitro and in vivo), as well as novel mechanisms of protein-interaction inhibition with relevance to amyloids and disease. One challenge at the interface of supramolecular chemistry and protein science is to increase interaction and collaboration between chemists and biochemists/structura...
Der Band behandelt die Schnittstelle zwischen Pragmatik, Grammatik und Psycholinguistik bzw. Neurolinguistik. Pragmatisch bedingt sind die Zurechnungen von Satzteilen zur bekannten oder zur Neuinformation im Text. Realisiert werden die pragmatischen Gliederungen aber in der Grammatik. Die theoretische Modellierung erfolgte in generativen Grammatiken, in optimalitätstheoretischen Modellen oder anhand der Alternativsemantik. Der Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung liegt auf Korrekturkonstruktionen und auf Hutkonturen. Erstere zeichnen sich durch Kontrastakzente aus und Letztere sind zweigipflig akzentuiert. Um die Prosodie weiterzuentwickeln, beschäftigt sich die Hälfte der Beiträge mit dem psycholinguistischen und neurophysiologischen Nachweis der Intonationsparameter und mit ihrer Auswertung im Kontext. Von der Kontrastintonation geht der Band dann über zur Typologie von Kontrastkonstruktionen, zu ihrem grammatischen Vergleich und ihrer textuellen Verwendung.
