Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.

Toxic utopia: Unseen ideology and “Le Politique” in China Miéville's The City & The City

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.

Sharing of 4‐hydroxy‐3‐(methylthio)benzaldehyde as a pollination semiochemical among distantly related sexually deceptive orchids

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that Spiculaea ciliata attracts male Thynnoturneria abspiculus through a single semiochemical, identified as 4‐hydroxy‐3‐(methylthio)benzaldehyde, emitted from its labellum. This compound alone elicited sexual behaviours in male wasps comparable to those elicited by whole floral extracts and attracted wasps when presented on a synthetic ...

Superlative Objoid Constructions in British and American English

World Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates regional variation in Superlative Objoid constructions (SOCs) and their prepositional variant (at‐SOCs). SOCs combine a possessive pronoun with a superlative adjective. These function as manner‐degree modifiers in a context where the possessive is in postverbal position and correlative with the subject, as in they tried

Must Can: Double‐Modal Constructions in Hong Kong English

World Englishes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies have focused on double‐modal constructions (DMs) in Englishes in the Inner Circle at the expense of the Outer Circle. Using data collected from internet forums and corpora, this study aims to narrow the research gap by examining DMs in Hong Kong English (HKE), an English variety in the Outer Circle.
