Weird Wonder in Merleau-Ponty, Object-Oriented Ontology, and New Materialism


Free Download Weird Wonder in Merleau-Ponty, Object-Oriented Ontology, and New Materialism by Brian Hisao Onishi
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 166 Pages | ISBN : 3031480260 | 4.7 MB
This book connects recent developments in speculative realism, new materialism, and eco-phenomenology to articulate an approach to wonder that escapes the connected traps of anthropocentrism and correlationism. Brian Onishi argues that wonder has explanatory power for the constitution of the world and the organization of meaning. To do this, he appeals to both fiction (speculative and Weird fiction in particular) and quantum physics. More specifically, he argues that the focus of Weird fiction on impossible experiences and a feeling of something just beyond the limits of one’s grasp dramatizes the speculative reach beyond the limits of our understanding. But more than a tool for knowledge acquisition, wonder is an organizing property of objects. Like the collapse of superposition in quantum physics, reality is constituted when objects reveal themselves to other objects and thereby organize themselves into complex objects. Since no relation is exhaustive, the capacity to wonder remains at a material level, and the possibility of reorganization is ever present. Ultimately, Onishi argues for a speculative eco-phenomenology with wonder as an engine for a Weird environmental ethics.

The Diachrony of Differential Object Marking in Romanian


Free Download Virginia Hill, "The Diachrony of Differential Object Marking in Romanian "
English | ISBN: 0192898795 | 2021 | 304 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book provides a comprehensive investigation of the origins, development, and stabilization of differential object marking (DOM) in Romanian. DOM, a means by which a grammar distinguishes between objects based on semantic features such as animacy or definiteness, has been a fruitful area of research in syntax, historical linguistics, and typology. In this volume, Virginia Hill and Alexandru Mardale demonstrate that Romanian DOM reflects a typological mix of Balkan and Romance patterns, and is in fact composed of three distinct mechanisms. Their analysis of these mechanisms reveals that DOM triggers in Romanian are located in the nominal domain, in contrast to languages such as Spanish, where they are located in the verbal domain. The cross-linguistic perspective adopted in the volume sheds light on existing typologies of DOM, particularly in relation to the variation observed in the merging location of the DOM particle and of the doubling pronominal clitic.

Romance Object Clitics Microvariation and Linguistic Change


Free Download Diego Pescarini, "Romance Object Clitics: Microvariation and Linguistic Change "
English | ISBN: 0198864388 | 2021 | 352 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book offers an empirical and theoretical exploration of the development of object clitic pronouns in the Romance languages, drawing on data from Latin, medieval vernaculars, modern Romance languages, and lesser-known dialects. Diego Pescarini examines phonological, morphological, and especially syntactic aspects of Romance object clitics, using the findings to reconstruct their evolution from Latin to Romance and to model clitic placement in modern Romance languages. On the theoretical side, the volume engages with previous accounts of clitics, particularly in generative theory. It challenges the received idea that cliticization resulted from a form of syntactic deficiency; instead, it proposes that clitics resulted from the feature endowment of discourse features, which initially caused freezing of certain pronominal forms and then – through reanalysis – their successive incorporation to verbal hosts. This approach leads to a revision of earlier analyses of well-known phenomena such as interpolation, climbing, and enclisis/proclisis alternations, and to new approaches to issues including V2 syntax, scrambling, and stylistic fronting, among many others.

Video Object Tracking Tasks, Datasets, and Methods


Free Download Video Object Tracking: Tasks, Datasets, and Methods
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031446593 | 130 Pages | PDF (True) | 6 MB
This book provides a thorough overview of recent progress in video object tracking, allowing researchers and industrial practitioners to gain a better understanding of the most important problems and developed technologies in the area. Video tracking is a key research area in computer vision and aims to track unique objects in a given video, which are useful for various applications such as video conference, video editing, surveillance, and autonomous driving. This book begins with an introduction to the task of video object tracking, including the most common problem settings. Given the revolution of deep learning in computer vision problems, numerous new tasks, datasets, and methods have been recently proposed in the domain of video tracking. The book includes these recent results as well as benchmarks in large-scale human-centric video analysis in complex events.
