Constructed Action, the Clause and the Nature of Syntax in Finnish Sign Language
Open Linguistics, 2017 This paper investigates the interplay of constructed action and the clause in Finnish Sign Language (FinSL). Constructed action is a form of gestural enactment in which the signers use their hands, face and other parts of the body to represent the ...

Agent defocusing in two-participant clauses in Finnish Sign Language
Glossa, 2019 This article investigates what strategies are used for defocusing the agent in two-participant clauses in FinSL. The question is approached by analyzing a set of data that consists of videotaped informational texts.

The Basic Reproduction Number and Delayed Action of T Cells for Patients Infected with SARS-CoV-2
Mathematics, 2022 COVID-19 has been prevalent for the last two years. The transmission capacity of SARS-CoV-2 differs under the influence of different epidemic prevention policies, making it difficult to measure the infectivity of the virus itself.

WZW action in odd dimensional gauge theories [PDF]
, 2006 It is shown that Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) type actions can be constructed in odd dimensional space-times using Wilson line or Wilson loop. WZW action constructed using Wilson line gives anomalous gauge variations and the WZW action constructed using ...

Perspective in signed discourse: the privileged status of the signer’s locus and gaze
Open Linguistics, 2015 In gesture studies character viewpoint and observer viewpoint (McNeill 1992) characterize co-speech gestures depending on whether the gesturer’s hand and body imitate a referent’s hand and body or the hand represents a referent in its entirety.

Gelfand pairs associated with the action of graph automaton groups [PDF]
International Journal of Group Theory, 2023 Graph automaton groups constitute a special class of automaton groups constructed from a graph. In this paper, we show that the action of any graph automaton group on each level of the rooted regular tree gives rise to a Gelfand pair.

Conformal Field Theory for the Superstring in a Ramond-Ramond Plane Wave Background [PDF]
, 2002 A quantizable worldsheet action is constructed for the superstring in a supersymmetric plane wave background with Ramond-Ramond flux. The action is manifestly invariant under all isometries of the background and is an exact worldsheet conformal field ...

Indicating verbs in British Sign Language favour motivated use of space
Open Linguistics, 2015 Sign languages have traditionally been described as having a distinction between (1) arbitrary (referential or syntactic) space, considered to be a purely grammatical use of space in which locations arbitrarily represent concrete or abstract subject and ...

Transitive $t$-designs and strongly regular graphs constructed from linear groups $L(2,q)$, $q leq 23$ [PDF]
International Journal of Group Theory, 2019 In this paper we construct transitive $t$-designs from the linear groups $L(2,q), q leq 23$. Thereby we classify $t$-designs, $t ge 2$, admitting a transitive action of the linear groups $L(2,q), q leq 23$, up to 35 points and obtained ...
