The double modal construction in English world wide
World Englishes, EarlyView.Abstract The dual foci of the present study of double modals are their semantic characteristics and their distribution across regional varieties of English world wide. Tokens were extracted from GloWbE:Blogs, a database whose great size and informal tenor facilitated the investigation of this low‐frequency non‐standard feature. Double modals were found

Mirror symmetry and the half-filled Landau level [PDF]
, 2015 We study the dynamics of the half-filled zeroth Landau level of Dirac fermions using mirror symmetry, a supersymmetric duality between certain pairs of 2+1-dimensional theories. We show that the half-filled zeroth Landau level of a pair of Dirac fermions

Distributions of extremal black holes in Calabi-Yau compactifications
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We study non-supersymmetric extremal black hole excitations of 4d N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetric string vacua arising from compactification on Calabi-Yau threefolds.

English address terms in Australian, British and North American English on Twitter/X
World Englishes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study analyses address terms on Twitter/X across three English‐speaking regions: Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Using a random sample, we examine the frequency and regional distribution of address forms, including @‐mentions, vocatives, titles, kinship terms and greetings.

Local Tests of English in Global Contexts: A Malaysian Case Study
World Englishes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global tests of English are usually used globally and local tests locally. However, this global–local dichotomy has been challenged by test localisation, globalisation and glocalisation. An emerging critical question in this regard is whether local tests of English can be used locally and globally at the same time.

Address Terms of Brotherhood in the Indian Online Gaming Community
World Englishes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Indian gamers are part of the Indian society as well as a globalised gaming community. To navigate this cultural dissonance, they can use address terms to reflect and create their double or divided identities. This article investigates forms and functions of kinship terms that are connected to the concept of brother ‘male sibling’, for example,

Supersymmetric anti-D3-brane action in the Kachru-Kallosh-Linde-Trivedi setup
, 2019 An anti-D3-brane plays a crucial role in the construction of semirealistic cosmological models in string theory. Part of its action provides an uplift term that has been used to lift anti-de Sitter solutions to phenomenologically viable de Sitter vacua ...
