This article aims to demonstrate that the transition from the mainstream narrative to the interactional history of concepts promises tangible benefits for scholars of social time in general and temporal comparisons in particular. It is shown that the traditionally close alignment of narration with the production of historical consciousness at various levels hinders the study of time as a semantic variable perpetually contested, amended and upheld across society. Alternatively, the references to time made in public settings, allowing for more or less instant reactions (turn-taking) as well as expression of dissenting opinions (stance-taking), offer a much more representative palette of temporal semantics and pragmatics in a given sociopolitical environment. In a particularly intriguing case, the essentially deliberative venue where contestation is supported by both institutional arrangements and political reasons (British House of Commons) is put to test under circumstances commonly known as ‘the post-war consensus’ – the unspoken convention directing opposing political parties to suspend stance-taking regarding the past actions of the government during WWII, its immediate aftermath and its future prospects. As a reliable indicator of this arrangement, the contestation of temporal comparisons between relevant pasts and futures is tested in oppositions reflecting party allegiances (Conservatives vs. Labour vs. Liberals) and executive functions (government vs. opposition) between 1946 and 1952. It is shown that, notwithstanding the prevalence of non-contested statements aimed at preserving interactional coherence and pragmatic functionality of the setting, the moderately active contestation of the adversary’s temporal comparisons in the House of Commons at that time helped all parties, albeit to a different degree, to shape their own political and institutional roles as well as to delegitimize their respective adversaries.

Постановка задачи. В настоящей статье описываются таксисные актуализаторы в польском языке. К ним относятся польские предложные девербативы в сочетании с таксисными предлогами темпоральной и обстоятельственной семантики. Результаты. Описаны высказывания примарного и секундарного типов, содержащие польские девербативы в сочетании с монотаксисными и политаксисными предлогами темпоральной и обстоятельственной семантики. В высказываниях данных типов польские девербативы выступают в качестве актуализаторов примарно-таксисных категориальных ситуаций одновременности, предшествования и следования, а также различных секундарно-таксисных категориальных ситуаций одновременности. Монотаксисные и политаксисные предлоги темпоральной и обстоятельственной семантики выступают при этом в роли маркеров или экспликаторов примарно-таксисных значений одновременности, предшествования или следования и секундарно-таксисных значений одновременности (каузально-таксисных, кондиционально-таксисных, финально-таксисных, концессивно-таксисных, консекутивно-таксисных). Выводы. Польские акциональные и процессуальные девербативы на nie/-сie в сочетании с монотаксисными и политаксисным предлогами темпоральной семантики w , w czasie , podczas, w toku, przed, po, do актуализируют примарно-таксисные категориальные ситуации одновременности, предшествования и следования. Польские девербативы с монотаксисными и политаксисным предлогами обстоятельственной семантики dla, w celu, celem, z powodu, ze względu, dzięki, z uwagi na, w związku, wskutek, w skutku, skutkiem, na skutek, w wyniku, w efekcie, w rezultacie, mimo, pomimo, wbrew, w razie, w wypadku, w przypadku, do выступают в качестве актуализаторов секундарно-таксисных категориальных ситуаций одновременности (каузально-таксисных, кондиционально-таксисных, финально-таксисных, концессивно-таксисных, консекутивно-таксисных). Problem statement. This article describes the taxis actualizers in the Polish language. These include Polish prepositional deverbatives in combination with taxis prepositions of temporal and adverbial semantics. Results. The statements of the primary and secondary types containing Polish deverbatives in combination with monotaxis and polytaxis prepositions of temporal and adverbial semantics are described. In statements of these types, Polish deverbatives act as actualizers of primary-taxis categorical situations of simultaneity, precedence and following, as well as various secondary taxis categorical situations of simultaneity. Monotaxis and polytaxis prepositions of temporal and adverbial semantics act in this case as markers or explicators of primary taxis values of simultaneity, precedence or following and secondary taxis values of simultaneity (causal-taxis, conditional-taxis, final-taxis, concessive-taxis, consecutive-taxis). Conclusion. Polish actional and procedural deverbatives on nie /- cie in combination with monotaxis and polytaxis prepositions of temporal semantics w, w czasie, podczas, w toku, przed, po, do actualize the primary taxis categorical situations of simultaneity, precedence and following. Polish deverbatives with monotaxis and polytaxis prepositions of adverbial semantics dla, w celu, celem, z powodu, ze względu, dzięki, z uwagi na, w związku, wskutek, w skutku, skutkiem, na skutek, w wyniku, w efekcie, w rezultacie, mimo, pomimo, wbrew, w razie, w wypadku, w przypadku , do act as actualizers of secondary taxis categorical situations of simultaneity (causal-taxis, conditional-taxis, final-taxis, concessive-taxis, consecutive-taxis).

Video transmission over IP is currently a hot topic both in entertainment and research communities. A problem that threatens the development of video over IP services is the bandwidth required to serve a potentially very large number of users. In this context, Peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies are considered a possible solution for the distribution of video content to many users. This chapter describes a novel P2P transport protocol suited for live multimedia streaming. The described protocol has low start-up time, it is robust with respect to data losses (due to congestion or node departure) and it can help counteracting the malicious injection of “bogus packets” in the media stream. The proposed protocol can be used with any type of data and, from the application point of view, it appears as a protocol similar to TCP or UDP, making the reuse of existing software and protocols easier.
