Abstract Laboratory measurements of constitutive frictional parameters are commonly inferred to explain the wide variety of slip behavior seen on natural faults. The extent to which these small‐scale measurements directly relate to fault slip behavior remains obscure.

Abstract The application of high‐resolution seismic geomorphology, integrated with lithological data from the continental margin offshore The Gambia, northwest Africa, documents a complex tectono‐stratigraphic history through the Cretaceous. This reveals the spatial‐temporal evolution of submarine canyons by quantifying the related basin depositional ...

Simplified depositional profile of the study area and Wheeler diagram showing the dispersive nature of the sequence boundaray/Regional Composite Scour (RCS) in the marine realm. Discrete parts of the composite, highly diachronous and amalgamated erosional composite surface below the fluvial deposits in the proximal zone, are time‐equivalent to ...

Recursion and the Definition of Universal Prosodic Categories
It is widely agreed that prosodic constituents should mirror syntactic constituents (unless high-ranking prosodic constraints interfere). Because recursion is a feature of syntactic representations, one expects recursion in prosodic representations as ...

The Limits of Perception in the Tonal Orthographies of three-tone Systems
This article discusses the representation of downstep in the tonal orthographies of some three-tone languages of West Benue-Congo, in the light of the phonological properties of tone in the languages.

A tonal split in bound argument pronouns in Il-keeknyokie Maa
This paper describes and accounts for the tonal split between bound argument prefixes of Il-Keekonyokie Maa verbs with (apparently) High and Low tone. Data with the tonal split are given, followed by an analysis showing that the apparent High tone must ...

In Babanki, a Grassfields Bantu language of northwestern Cameroon, several tonal patterns can be found on a single verb root depending on the construction in which the verb is used.

Bandi tonology offers three points of interest. The first is low tone opacity. Several tone rules act to obscure the presence of underlying low tones in Bandi.

Abstract The maximum fault strength and rate of interseismic fault strengthening (“healing”) are of great interest to earthquake hazard assessment studies, as they directly relate to event magnitude and recurrence time. Previous laboratory studies have revealed two distinct frictional healing behaviors, referred to as Dieterich‐type and non‐Dieterich ...

The Realization of Low Tones in the Context of Downstep [PDF]
In this study, the pitch realization of low (L) tones in the context of downstep in Chinese is analyzed. The test sentences are composed of ‘High + Low + High + Low’ sequences, and the low point pitch of the L tones is investigated. It is found that there is an obvious downward trend for the L tones, that is, they always drop to a lower scale compared ...
