Relative Constructions in Classical/Epic Sanskrit

Abstract While it is widely recognised that Sanskrit shows two major types of relative construction – one relative–correlative, the other similar to postnominal relative clauses in languages like English – it has not been established what the crucial syntactic distinctions are between these types, given the wide range of syntactic variation found in ...

Remnant Case Forms and Patterns of Syncretism in Early West Germanic

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract Early stages of the Old West Germanic languages differ from the other two branches, Gothic and Norse, by showing remnants of a fifth case in a‐ and ō‐stem nouns. The forms in question, which have the ending ‐i or ‐u, are conventionally labelled ‘instrumental’ and cover a range of functions, such as instrument, means, comitative and locative ...

Quadruple bonding between iron and boron in the BFe(CO)3- complex. [PDF]

, 2019
While main group elements have four valence orbitals accessible for bonding, quadruple bonding to main group elements is extremely rare. Here we report that main group element boron is able to form quadruple bonding interactions with iron in the BFe(CO)3-

James Platt Junior's Contributions to Old English Grammar1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract In 1883, Henry Sweet took issue with James Platt junior, a 21‐year‐old language enthusiast. At the time, Platt was England's brightest young prospect in Old English linguistic studies. Sweet recognised Platt's talent, but he became convinced that he was also a plagiarist and tried to have him expelled from the Philological Society.

Was Einhard a widower?

Gender &History, EarlyView.
Abstract The ‘widow’ is a gendered, socially contingent category. Women who experienced spousal bereavement in the early middle ages faced various socio‐economic and legal ramifications; the ‘widow’ was further a rhetorical figure with a defined emotional register. The widower is, by contrast, an anachronistic category.

Dual Circularly Polarized Luminescence from Chiral Boron‐Embedded Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 10, 2 March 2026.
Boron‐embedded polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons featuring an asymmetric boron center coordinated by a proximal P═O group were synthesized. Anthracene‐fused boracyclic derivatives show dual circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) arising from excited‐state P═O⋯B dissociation, which converts point chirality into C−B axial chirality.

How Flexible Are Grammars Past Puberty? The Case of Relative Clauses in Turkish‐American Returnees

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract How flexible are grammars after puberty? To answer this, we test returnees: heritage speakers (HS) born in an immigration context who returned to their homeland in later years. If returnees are targetlike, then language is still malleable after puberty; in contrast, if maturational effects are in play, postpuberty returnees will show ...
