Global services like navigation, communication, and Earth observation have increased dramatically in the 21st century due to advances outer space industries. But as orbits become increasingly crowded with both satellites inevitable debris pollution, continued operations endangered by heightened risks of collisions orbit. Kessler Syndrome is term for when a critical threshold orbiting triggers runaway positive feedback loop collisions, creating congestion that can render unusable. As this...

Abstract Many languages have words that denote a human body part and an object, for example, hand , which refers to of person watch. As yet, there is no systematic study on the distribution these shared names, i.e., colexifications, between two concrete semantic domains in variety languages. Here, I present investigates colexifications object concepts, body-object colexifications. By using newly established workflow, are automatically extracted based seed list containing 134 concepts 650...

Abstract Psychologists and linguists collect various data on word concept properties. In psychology, scholars have accumulated norms ratings for a large number of words in languages with many speakers. linguistics, cross-linguistic information about the relations between concepts. Until now, however, there been no efforts to combine from two fields, which would allow comparison psychological linguistic properties across different languages. The Database Cross-Linguistic Norms, Ratings,...

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"> In tonal languages, the role of intonation in information-structuring has yet to be fully investigated. Intuitively, one would expect play only a small expressing communicative functions. However, experimental studies with Vietnamese native speakers show that contours vary across different contexts and are used mark certain types information, for example, focus (Jannedy, 2007). non-tonal languages (e.g., English),...

Language comparison requires user-friendly tools that facilitate the standardization of linguistic data. We present two resources built on basis a standardized cross-linguistic format and show how data is curated extended. The first resource, Concepticon, reference catalog for concepts from research. While curating we found variety studies in distinct research fields collected information word properties. However, until recently, no resource existed contained these to enable different...

Every human has a body. Yet, languages differ in how they divide the body into parts to name them. While universal naming strategies exist, there is also variation vocabularies of across languages. In this study, we investigate similarities and differences two separate with one word, i.e., colexifications. We use computational approach create networks part The analyses focus on large language families, perceptual features that lead colexifications parts, comparison network structures...

Expressions in which the word for a body part is also used objects can be found many languages. Some languages use terms to refer object parts, while others have only few idiosyncratic examples their vocabulary. Studying forms referring and concepts, i.e., colexifications, across languages, offers insights into cognitive principles facilitating such usage. Previous studies focused on full colexifications same form expresses two distinct concepts. Here, we utilize new approach that allows us...

Intonation is an instrument for structuring discourse and emphasizing different types of information. In German, example, pitch used to highlight focus, while in Vietnamese, contours distinguish lexical tones. As yet, the interplay between intonation tone relation information structure has not been sufficiently investigated across languages. Vietnamese six tones particularly interesting investigating influence strategies on realization Here, we present a production study with 70 Northern...
