O augmentatywach w języku łowieckim

100%

Malczewska B.

nr 18

163-180

The attempt is made towards compiling and classifying derivatives formed on the basis of nouns, adjectives and verbs according to morphological criteria. Additionally, the derived units subject to analysis are required to contain augmentative, both augmentative and pejorative, as well as ironical and downgrading formatives. The analysis is conducted with the aid of data drawn from interviews and short narratives delivered by hunters (both web-based and available in paper form). Handbooks and dictionaries of hunting lexis and practice were precious tools accordingly. Polish language is demonstrated to boast a large number of modifying derivatives that have an expressive value. Not only is this specialized technical lexis used to convey information in straightforward communicative circumstances. Above all, its significance lies in enabling users to share experience, exchange opinions and get rid of emotions. In point of fact, both individual and collectively performed acts of hunting are emotion-laden. That is why, aside from features inherent in every kind of specialized code (economy, precision and highly routinized manners of encoding), a bundle of peculiar features are found in hunting lexis: a significant degree of subjectivity that becomes most obvious in an extensive use made of affectively marked derivation.

Music as Water: The Functions of Music from a Utilitarian Perspective

100%

Maloney L.

tom 8

The rapid increase of technologically enhanced listening platforms gives listeners access to music with ever-increasing ease and ubiquity, giving rise to the suggestion that we should now conceptualize music as a resource similar to water; something that is utilized to achieve everyday goals. This paper proposes that music is a utilitarian resource employed by listeners to augment cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and physiological aspects of the self. To better explore these notions this paper examines the potential role of the “functions of music,” first espoused by Alan P. Merriam in 1964. Merriam suggested music has a situational use and an underlying function (music’s ability to alter the self through listening). The research presented here asserts that listeners interact with specific musical materials to achieve or orientate themselves towards contextually-rooted goals. Reinforcing Tia DeNora’s suggestion that music is a “technology of the self” this research presents the results of a 41 publication meta-analysis exploring the possible functions of music. The resultant Aggregate Thematic Functions Framework (ATF framework) identifies 45 possible utilitarian functions of music, spread across five domains of action. The framework also proposes a meta-domain and an emotional sub-domain

Augmentation of the NO-cGMP cascade induces anxiogenic-like effect in mice

Several studies have reported the anxiolytic-like effects of various nitric oxide synthase inhibitors in distinct animal models. However, in the context of anxiety, the possible involvement of cyclic GMP, believed to be one of the main targets of NO, remains obscure. Cyclic GMP is degraded by the specific phosphodiesterases in the brain. Therefore, we studied the effect of the selective phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor sildenafil in the mouse elevated plus-maze test of anxiety and in the open field test of locomotion. We found that sildenafil (0.05-10 mg/kg i.p.) alone did not affect the behavior of animals in the plus-maze or open field tests, but the anxiogenic beta-carboline DMCM given in a subconvulsive dose (2 mg/kg i.p.) decreased the time spent on open arms in the elevated plus-maze. Treatment with the NO precursor L-arginine (200 mg/kg i.p.) did not modify the behavior of animals in the plus-maze, however, when sildenafil (1 mg/kg i.p.) was administered in combination with L-arginine (200 mg/kg i.p.), both the time spent on the open arms and the percentage of open arm visits were significantly decreased. We conclude that augmentation of the NO-cGMP cascade induces anxiogenic-like effect in mice.
