A Choice Function Analysis of Either in the Either/or Construction

We discuss and analyze two subject agreement markers in Logooli (Bantu,Kenya). We show that e- (class 9 subject agreement) and ga- (class 6 subjectagreement) give rise to a variety of apparently evidential or modal meanings whenthey occur in constructions translated with "expletive" subjects. We propose atreatment of the Logooli data following Matthewson, et al. (2007)'s and Rullmann,et al. (2008)'s choice function analysis of modality and evidentiality in St'át'imcets,and extend their original proposal to account for novel data in Logooli. We showthat these two morphemes occur only with verbs that introduce modal bases, andpropose that they differ from one another in the size of the subset of possible worldsthat their associated choice functions select from the modal base. This in turn resultsin different interpretations based on the size of the subset of worlds that they select,the speaker's ordering source, and the modal base provided by the verb.

Purpose The main purpose of the study is to explore the auditory selective attention abilities (using event-related potentials) and the neuronal oscillatory activity in the default mode network sites (using electroencephalogram [EEG]) in individuals with tinnitus. Method Auditory selective attention was measured using P300, and the resting state EEG was assessed using the default mode function analysis. Ten individuals with continuous and bothersome tinnitus along with 10 age- and gender-matched control participants underwent event-related potential testing and 5 min of EEG recording (at wakeful rest). Results Individuals with tinnitus were observed to have larger N1 and P3 amplitudes along with prolonged P3 latency. The default mode function analysis revealed no significant oscillatory differences between the groups. Conclusion The current study shows changes in both the early sensory and late cognitive components of auditory processing. The change in the P3 component is suggestive of selective auditory attention deficit, and the sensory component (N1) suggests an altered bottom-up processing in individuals with tinnitus.

Components Analysis

Data taken from the blood of 262 patients diagnosed for malabsorption, elective cholecystectomy, acute cholecystitis, infectious hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, or chronic renal disease were analyzed with three numerical taxonomy (NT) methods : cluster analysis, principal components analysis, and discriminant function analysis. Principal components analysis revealed discrete clusters of patients suffering from chronic renal disease, liver cirrhosis, and infectious hepatitis, which could be displayed by NT clustering as well as by plotting, but other disease groups were poorly defined. Sharper resolution of the same disease groups was attained by discriminant function analysis.
