Demonstratives in Cross-Linguistic Perspective

Cambridge University Press eBooks (2018)

Stephen C. Levinson Stephen C. Levinson Stephen C. Levinson David P. Wilkins N. J. Enfield

Demonstratives play a crucial role in the acquisition and use of language. Bringing together a team of leading scholars this detailed study, a first of its kind, explores meaning and use across fifteen typologically and geographically unrelated languages to find out what cross-linguistic comparisons and generalizations can be made, and how this might challenge current theory in linguistics, psychology, anthropology and philosophy. Using a shared experimental task, rounded out with studies of natural language use, specialists in each of the languages undertook extensive fieldwork for this comparative study of semantics and usage. An introduction summarizes the shared patterns and divergences in meaning and use that emerge.

Twelve tips for effective international clinical placements

Medical Teacher (2007)

Susan Balandin Michelle Lincoln Reena Sen David P. Wilkins David Trembath

As universities adopt an increasingly international focus, student health professionals are keen to gain clinical experiences in other countries. Such clinical placements provide students with the opportunity to share their knowledge and at the same time acquire new clinical and cultural skills. The experience gained will not only enhance their clinical practice overseas, but will also enhance it in their home country where they are likely to work with people from culturally, linguistically and clinically diverse backgrounds. Careful preparation and adequate supports are critical if students and the host institutions are to gain maximum benefit from cross-cultural clinical placements. The tips below are based on an ongoing collaboration between the Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy, Kolkata, India and The University of Sydney, as well as recommendations from the burgeoning literature on international clinical placements. The authors are from both the sending and the receiving institutions, and have found that close collaboration between the home and host institutions along with student reflection, evaluation and the opportunity to integrate new knowledge with other clinical experiences are keys to a satisfactory outcome for all concerned.

Reverse-Time Migration from Rugged Topography to Image Ground-Penetrating Radar Data in Complex Environments

Engineering (2018)

John H. Bradford Janna Privette David P. Wilkins R. L. Ford

In ground-penetrating radar (GPR) imaging, it is common for the depth of investigation to be on the same order as the variability in surface topography. In such cases, migration fails when it is carried out from a datum after the application of elevation statics. We introduce a reverse-time migration (RTM) algorithm based on the second-order decoupled form of Maxwell's equations, which requires computation of only the electric field. The wavefield extrapolation is computed directly from the acquisition surface without the need for datuming. In a synthetic case study, the algorithm significantly improves image accuracy over a processing sequence in which migration is performed after elevation statics. In addition, we acquired a field dataset at the Coral Pink Sand Dunes (CPSD) in Utah, USA. The data were acquired over rugged topography and have the complex internal stratigraphy of multiply eroded, modern, and ancient eolian deposits. The RTM algorithm significantly improves radar depth images in this challenging environment.
