| asl sign for biology: Toward an Evolutionary Biology of Language Philip Lieberman, 2006-06-30 In this forcefully argued book, the leading evolutionary theorist of language draws on evidence from evolutionary biology, genetics, physical anthropology, anatomy, and neuroscience, to provide a framework for studying the evolution of human language and cognition. Philip Lieberman argues forcibly that the widely influential theories of language's development, advanced by Chomskian linguists and cognitive scientists, especially those that postulate a single dedicated language module, organ, or instinct, are inconsistent with principles and findings of evolutionary biology and neuroscience. He argues that the human neural system in its totality is the basis for the human language ability, for it requires the coordination of neural circuits that regulate motor control with memory and higher cognitive functions. Pointing out that articulate speech is a remarkably efficient means of conveying information, Lieberman also highlights the adaptive significance of the human tongue. Fully human language involves the species-specific anatomy of speech, together with the neural capacity for thought and movement. In Lieberman's iconoclastic Darwinian view, the human language ability is the confluence of a succession of separate evolutionary developments, jury-rigged by natural selection to work together for an evolutionarily unique ability. |
| asl sign for biology: BIOCHEMICAL PATHWAYS AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY ATLAS Dr. Vidyottma, Dr. S.K. Kataria, 2024-01-10 One of the most widely embraced visual representations of data, known as charts, made its initial debut three decades ago. The esteemed editor, Gerhard Michal, has recently authored a comprehensive publication that encapsulates the intricate realm of metabolism, encompassing a wide range of metabolic processes, presented in a visually appealing graphical representation complemented by detailed textual elucidation. The literary composition maintains the inherent refinement and sophistication of the graphical representation. The nomenclature of molecular entities is meticulously rendered in a visually appealing typeface, characterised by its sharpness and legibility. Furthermore, the depiction of structural formulas exhibits an exceptional level of lucidity, ensuring optimal comprehension and comprehension. The utilisation of colour coding fulfils a multitude of objectives within the realm of enzymology. It serves as a means to discern and discriminate between various entities such as enzymes, substrates, cofactors, and effector molecules. Additionally, it aids in identifying the specific group or groups of organisms in which a particular reaction has been observed. Moreover, colour coding plays a pivotal role in distinguishing enzymatic reactions from regulatory effects, thereby enhancing clarity and comprehension in this intricate domain. The inherent benefits of disseminating this information through the medium of a book are readily discernible |

| asl sign for biology: Constructions in Contact 2 Hans C. Boas, Steffen Höder, 2021-06-15 The last few years have seen a steadily increasing interest in constructional approaches to language contact. This volume builds on previous constructionist work, in particular Diasystematic Construction Grammar (DCxG) and the volume Constructions in Contact (2018) and extends its methodology and insights in three major ways. First, it presents new constructional research on a wide range of language contact scenarios including Afrikaans, American Sign Language, English, French, Malayalam, Norwegian, Spanish, Welsh, as well as contact scenarios that involve typologically different languages. Second, it also addresses other types of scenarios that do not fall into the classic language contact category, such as multilingual practices and language acquisition as emerging multilingualism. Third, it aims to integrate constructionist views on language contact and multilingualism with other approaches that focus on structural, social, and cognitive aspects. The volume demonstrates that Construction Grammar is a framework particularly well suited for analyzing a wide variety of language contact phenomena from a usage-based perspective. |
| asl sign for biology: The Oxford Handbook of Psycholinguistics M. Gareth Gaskell, Gerry Altmann, 2007 The ability to communicate through spoken and written language is one of the defining characteristics of the human race, yet it remains a deeply mysterious process. The young science of psycholinguistics attempts to uncover the mechanisms and representations underlying human language. This interdisciplinary field has seen massive developments over the past decade, with a broad expansion of the research base, and the incorporation of new experimental techniques such as brain imaging and computational modelling. The result is that real progress is being made in the understanding of the key components of language in the mind. The Oxford Handbook of Psycholinguistics brings together the views of 75 leading researchers in psycholinguistics to provide a comprehensive and authoritative review of the current state of the art in psycholinguistics. With almost 50 chapters written by experts in the field, the range and depth of coverage is unequalled. The contributors are eminent in a wide range of fields, including psychology, linguistics, human memory, cognitive neuroscience, bilingualism, genetics, development and neuropsychology. Their contributions are organised into six themed sections, covering word recognition, the mental lexicon, comprehension and discourse, language production, language development, and perspectives on psycholinguistics. The breadth of coverage, coupled with the accessibility of the short chapter format should make the handbook essential reading for both students and researchers in the fields of psychology, linguistics and neuroscience. |
| asl sign for biology: The Linguistics of Sign Languages Anne Baker, Beppie van den Bogaerde, Roland Pfau, Trude Schermer, 2016-06-23 How different are sign languages across the world? Are individual signs and signed sentences constructed in the same way across these languages? What are the rules for having a conversation in a sign language? How do children and adults learn a sign language? How are sign languages processed in the brain? These questions and many more are addressed in this introductory book on sign linguistics using examples from more than thirty different sign languages. Comparisons are also made with spoken languages. This book can be used as a self-study book or as a text book for students of sign linguistics. Each chapter concludes with a summary, some test-yourself questions and assignments, as well as a list of recommended texts for further reading. The book is accompanied by a website containing assignments, video clips and links to web resources. |

| asl sign for biology: The Signs of Language Edward S. Klima, Ursula Bellugi, 1979 In a book with far-reaching implications, Edward S. Klima and Ursula Bellugi present a full exploration of a language in another mode--a language of the hands and of the eyes. They discuss the origin and development of American Sign Language, the internal structure of its basic units, the grammatical processes it employs, and its heightened use in poetry and wit. The authors draw on research, much of it by and with deaf people, to answer the crucial question of what is fundamental to language as language and what is determined by the mode (vocal or gestural) in which a language is produced. |

| asl sign for biology: Deaf Gain H-Dirksen L. Bauman, Joseph J. Murray, 2014-10-15 Deaf people are usually regarded by the hearing world as having a lack, as missing a sense. Yet a definition of deaf people based on hearing loss obscures a wealth of ways in which societies have benefited from the significant contributions of deaf people. In this bold intervention into ongoing debates about disability and what it means to be human, experts from a variety of disciplines—neuroscience, linguistics, bioethics, history, cultural studies, education, public policy, art, and architecture—advance the concept of Deaf Gain and challenge assumptions about what is normal. Through their in-depth articulation of Deaf Gain, the editors and authors of this pathbreaking volume approach deafness as a distinct way of being in the world, one which opens up perceptions, perspectives, and insights that are less common to the majority of hearing persons. For example, deaf individuals tend to have unique capabilities in spatial and facial recognition, peripheral processing, and the detection of images. And users of sign language, which neuroscientists have shown to be biologically equivalent to speech, contribute toward a robust range of creative expression and understanding. By framing deafness in terms of its intellectual, creative, and cultural benefits, Deaf Gain recognizes physical and cognitive difference as a vital aspect of human diversity.

| asl sign for biology: Logical Modeling of Biological Systems Luis Fariñas del Cerro, Katsumi Inoue, 2014-08-08 Systems Biology is the systematic study of the interactions between the components of a biological system and studies how these interactions give rise to the function and behavior of the living system. Through this, a life process is to be understood as a whole system rather than the collection of the parts considered separately. Systems Biology is therefore more than just an emerging field: it represents a new way of thinking about biology with a dramatic impact on the way that research is performed. The logical approach provides an intuitive method to provide explanations based on an expressive relational language. This book covers various aspects of logical modeling of biological systems, bringing together 10 recent logic-based approaches to Systems Biology by leading scientists. The chapters cover the biological fields of gene regulatory networks, signaling networks, metabolic pathways, molecular interaction and network dynamics, and show logical methods for these domains based on propositional and first-order logic, logic programming, answer set programming, temporal logic, Boolean networks, Petri nets, process hitting, and abductive and inductive logic programming. It provides an excellent guide for all scientists, biologists, bioinformaticians, and engineers, who are interested in logic-based modeling of biological systems, and the authors hope that new scientists will be encouraged to join this exciting scientific endeavor. |
| asl sign for biology: Translation Beyond Translation Studies Kobus Marais, 2022-10-06 What is 'translation'? Even as the scholarly viewpoint of translation studies has expanded over recent years, the notion of 'translation' has remained fixedly defined by its interlinguistic element. However, there are many different contexts and disciplines in which translation takes place for which this definition is entirely unsuitable. Exploring translational aspects in contexts in which scholars do not think about 'translation', this book considers the alternative uses of the term beyond the interlinguistic dimension. Taking our understanding of 'translation' back to its basic semiotic principles, leading experts outline the wide variety of alternative fields of study, practices, applications and contexts in which the term 'translation' is used. Chapters examine 11 different fields of study, exploring what the term 'translation' means, how it is used and what it could contribute to an enlarged understanding of 'translation' as a concept. In this way, the volume argues for a reimagining of what we mean by translation, providing an essential reference for anyone interested in how translation is understood and practiced beyond the narrow perspectives of the field of translation studies itself. |

| asl sign for biology: The Signs of Language Revisited Karen Emmorey, Harlan L. Lane, 2013-04-15 The burgeoning of research on signed language during the last two decades has had a major influence on several disciplines concerned with mind and language, including linguistics, neuroscience, cognitive psychology, child language acquisition, sociolinguistics, bilingualism, and deaf education. The genealogy of this research can be traced to a remarkable degree to a single pair of scholars, Ursula Bellugi and Edward Klima, who have conducted their research on signed language and educated scores of scholars in the field since the early 1970s. The Signs of Language Revisited has three major objectives: * presenting the latest findings and theories of leading scientists in numerous specialties from language acquisition in children to literacy and deaf people; * taking stock of the distance scholarship has come in a given field, where we are now, and where we should be headed; and * acknowledging and articulating the intellectual debt of the authors to Bellugi and Klima--in some cases through personal reminiscences. Thus, this book is also a document in the sociology and history of science. |
| asl sign for biology: Resolution Pharmacology - Innovative Therapeutic Approaches Based on the Biology of Resolution to Control Chronic Diseases of Western Societies Mauro Perretti, Trinidad Montero-Melendez, Lucy V. Norling, 2019-11-04 In this eBook, we have grouped together 16 original contributions which have addressed the translational potential for therapeutics developed on the conceptual framework of the resolution of inflammation. The take home message of our effort, and the efforts of our colleagues who wrote these pieces, is that completely different drugs can be designed and modelled on the mediators and targets of resolution. By implementing this 180° shift in the way we plan the drug development programme (that is by focusing on agonists and/or promoting the actions of pro-resolution agonists) we can offer a fresh approach to the clinical management of chronic diseases that affect the modern society. With this series of articles we foresee the birth of Resolution Pharmacology. The 16 contributions presented herein confirm the broad relevance of pro-resolving physio-pharmacology with the description of pro-resolving mechanisms in distinct diseases, from atherosclerosis and heart infarct, to cystic fibrosis and diabetes. This testifies on one hand the fundamental role that inflammatory mechanisms play in virtually all pathological settings and, on the other hand, the great potential that a novel approach to anti-inflammatory therapy by exploiting resolution mediators and targets may have. Thus, while there is broad recognition that evidence-based interventions have transformed cardiovascular, inflammation and endocrine care, new therapies are still needed for growing numbers of patients with unmet needs. As an example, an estimated 17 million people world-wide die annually of cardiovascular diseases, particularly heart attacks and strokes. Cardiovascular diseases occur almost equally in men and women and are the leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide. It is estimated that only 1/1,000 compounds entering preclinical testing are then trialled in man and the actual cost of developing a new therapeutic into clinical practice has grown exponentially over the past two decades (estimated $1.2B). Over the last 20 years or more, scientists have appreciated the biology of the resolution of inflammation, which provides a new paradigm in our understanding of the inflammatory process with the appreciation of genetic, molecular and cellular mechanisms that are engaged to actively resolve inflammation. The ‘resolution of acute inflammation’ is enabled by counter-regulatory checkpoints to terminate the host reaction while at the same time promoting healing and repair. The potential of lipid mediators to enact pro-resolving effects in the context of cystic fibrosis is presented by Recchiuti et al., while Fredman reasons on the potential for these molecules in atherosclerosis. This resonates well with the contributions from Bäck and colleagues who have focused on pro-resolving receptors to offer vasculo-protection in intimal hyperplasia and more generally in cardiovascular disease. On the same vein is the scholar contribution of Leoni and Soehnlein who focus on heart disease, with Qin et al. presenting the latest findings on the effect of an Annexin A1-derived peptide in myocardial infarction. Hansen et al. and de Gaetano et al. bring in the complexity of diabetes and associated morbidity with a focus on specialised pro-resolving lipid mediators but also introducing the potential of dietary approaches. As the western diet favours disease, an omega-3 rich diet can lead to higher availability of lipid mediators to afford tissue protection if not reverting its pathological status. Docosahexaenoic acid and its bioactive derivatives are endowed with potent anti-nociceptive properties following bone fracture, as shown by Zhang et al. The broad relevance of the pharmacological approach reaches the skin with Resolvin D1 protecting against UV irradiation (Saito et al.). Reduced skin inflammation is also achieved with an Annexin A1 peptide that impacts on the outcome of heterologous transplantation (Lacerda et al.). Indeed, modulating the phenotype of immune cells can provide long lasting beneficial outcomes, as attained with CDK inhibitors (Cartwright et al.) and PI3K inhibitors in experimental gout (Galvao et al.). Such an effect is also achieved with a third group of pro-resolving therapeutics, the melanocortin receptor agonists, with important modulation of macrophage reactivity (Patruno et al.) with Spana et al., providing new pharmacology following selective activation of the MC1 receptor. Finally, Hopkin et al. discuss the potential for targeting immune cell trafficking as a way to control immune mediated diseases, bringing in not only pro-resolving mediator agonists, but also approaches to reduce chemo/cytokine gradients or modulating S1P and 11-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Finally, we wish to highlight that this wealth of science has also bought to the forefront specific pro-resolving receptors (including FPR2/ALX, GPR32, ChemR23 and MC1), all G protein coupled receptors that are therefore amenable to pharmacological exploitation for drug discovery programmes. We see that not only agonists to the receptors can be developed, some of them modelled on the natural ligands (e.g. resolvins, lipoxins, Annexin A1-derived peptides or melanocortin peptides), but also that the creativity of this pharmacology can be attained through biased ligands and positive allosteric modulators. Deep knowledge of pro-resolving receptor biology and their cell-specific signalling can accelerate the generation of novel anti-inflammatory depicted on the resolution of inflammation. In conclusion, with this eBook, we propose time is ready to exploit the concepts of resolution and use its targets and mediators for the identification of better drugs to establish ‘Resolution Pharmacology’. We predict Resolution Pharmacology will represent an important innovation in the way common diseases will be treated in the next decades of this millennium. |

| asl sign for biology: Folkbiology Douglas L. Medin, Scott Atran, 1999-06-08 The term folkbiology refers to people's everyday understanding of the biological world—how they perceive, categorize, and reason about living kinds. The study of folkbiology not only sheds light on human nature, it may ultimately help us make the transition to a global economy without irreparably damaging the environment or destroying local cultures. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together the work of researchers in anthropology, cognitive and developmental psychology, biology, and philosophy of science. The issues covered include: Are folk taxonomies a first-order approximation to classical scientific taxonomies, or are they driven more directly by utilitarian concerns? How are these category schemes linked to reasoning about natural kinds? Is there any nontrivial sense in which folk-taxonomic structures are universal? What impact does science have on folk taxonomy? Together, the chapters present the current foundations of folkbiology and indicate new directions in research. Contributors Scott Atran, Terry Kit-fong Au, Brent Berlin, K. David Bishop, John D.

| asl sign for biology: The Handbook of Historical Linguistics, Volume II Richard D. Janda, Brian D. Joseph, Barbara S. Vance, 2020-09-15 An entirely new follow-up volume providing a detailed account of numerous additional issues, methods, and results that characterize current work in historical linguistics. This brand-new, second volume of The Handbook of Historical Linguistics is a complement to the well-established first volume first published in 2003. It includes extended content allowing uniquely comprehensive coverage of the study of language(s) over time. Though it adds fresh perspectives on several topics previously treated in the first volume, this Handbook focuses on extensions of diachronic linguistics beyond those key issues. This Handbook provides readers with studies of language change whose perspectives range from comparisons of large open vs. small closed corpora, via creolistics and linguistic contact in general, to obsolescence and endangerment of languages. Written by leading scholars in their respective fields, new chapters are offered on matters such as the origin of language, evidence from language for reconstructing human prehistory, invocations of language present in studies of language past, benefits of linguistic fieldwork for historical investigation, ways in which not only biological evolution but also field biology can serve as heuristics for research into the rise and spread of linguistic innovations, and more. Moreover, it: offers novel and broadened content complementing the earlier volume so as to provide the fullest available overview of a wholly engrossing field includes 23 all-new contributed chapters, treating some familiar themes from fresh perspectives but mostly covering entirely new topics features expanded discussion of material from language families other than Indo-European provides a multiplicity of views from numerous specialists in linguistic diachrony. The Handbook of Historical Linguistics, Volume II is an ideal book for undergraduate and graduate students in linguistics, researchers and professional linguists, as well as all those interested in the history of particular languages and the history of language more generally. |
| asl sign for biology: The Oxford Handbook of Deaf Studies, Language, and Education, Vol. 2 Marc Marschark, Patricia Elizabeth Spencer, 2003 The field of deaf studies, language, and education has grown dramatically over the past forty years. From work on the linguistics of sign language and parent-child interactions to analyses of school placement and the the mapping of brain function in deaf individuals, research across a range of disciplines has greatly expanded not just our knowledge of deafness and the deaf, but also the very origins of language, social interaction, and thinking. In this updated edition of the landmark original volume, a range of international experts present a comprehensive overview of the field of deaf studies, language, and education. Written for students, practitioners, and researchers, The Oxford Handbook of Deaf Studies, Language, and Education, Volume 1, is a uniquely ambitious work that has altered both the theoretical and applied landscapes. Pairing practical information with detailed analyses of what works, why, and for whom-all while banishing the paternalism that once dogged the field-this first of two volumes features specially-commissioned, updated essays on topics including: language and language development, hearing and speech perception, education, literacy, cognition, and the complex cultural, social, and psychological issues associated with deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. The range of these topics shows the current state of research and identifies the opportunites and challenges that lie ahead. Combining historical background, research, and strategies for teaching and service provision, the two-volume Oxford Handbook of Deaf Studies, Language, and Education stands as the benchmark reference work in the field of deaf studies. |
| asl sign for biology: Handbook of Categorization in Cognitive Science Henri Cohen, Claire Lefebvre, 2017-06-03 Handbook of Categorization in Cognitive Science, Second Edition presents the study of categories and the process of categorization as viewed through the lens of the founding disciplines of the cognitive sciences, and how the study of categorization has long been at the core of each of these disciplines. The literature on categorization reveals there is a plethora of definitions, theories, models and methods to apprehend this central object of study. The contributions in this handbook reflect this diversity. For example, the notion of category is not uniform across these contributions, and there are multiple definitions of the notion of concept.
