The goal of this thesis is to add a typologically distinct data point to the investigation of access and representation of words in the mental lexicon, which until recently has been biased towards English. We concentrated on Polish, which contrasts with English in the richness of its inflectional and derivational morphology and its morpho-phonological alternations. Using immediate cross-modal and delayed auditory-auditory priming, parallel issues to those examined in English are investigated, as well as questions which cannot be addressed in English, because of differences in morphological properties. Four main findings are reported. First, the representation of morphologically complex Polish words is combinatorial, similar to English; This is supported by: (a) robust priming for items which share the same stem; (b) affix priming for morphologically complex items; (c) suffix-suffix interference for items competing for the same stem; Second, the results on Polish highly and moderately semantically transparent compounds suggest that the former may be represented in a combinatorial format and the latter as full forms. This contrasts with English where both types of compound are claimed to be stored as full forms. Third, initial investigations of the role of semantic transparency in determining how morphologically complex words are represented, suggest that transparent items are stored decompositionally whereas opaque items are stored as full forms. This conforms to the English findings, but contrasts with Semitic languages. Further investigations indicate that semantic compositionality may be more important that transparency, although more research is needed here. Finally, the results suggest that phonological alternants of the same stem, whether regular or irregular, are stored in a single lexical entry, and, in the auditory modality, map directly onto the same abstract underlying representation. Overall the results support the claim that the Polish lexicon IS organised morphemically in a combinatorial, phonologically abstract format

Astudiaeth yw hon o hanes a datblygiad geiriaduron printiedig o 1547, sef blwyddyn cyhoeddi A Dictionary in Englyshe and Welshe gan William Salesbury, hyd ddechrau'r ugeinfed ganrif pan gyhoeddwyd geiriaduron William Spurrell dan olygyddiaeth J. Bodvan Anwyl. Astudir dros ddeg ar hugain o gyfrolau i gyd, cyfrolau a luniwyd i ddiwallu gwahanol anghenion y genedl dros gyfnod o dair canrif a hanner ac sydd, or herwydd, yn amrywio'n fawr o ran maint a chynnwys. Er mwyn gosod terfynau pendant i'r astudiaeth, fe'i cyfyngwyd i eiriaduron Cymraeg-Lladin/Lladin-Cymraeg, Cymraeg-Saesneg, SaesnegCymraeg a Chymraeg-Cymraeg. Nid ymdrinnir ä geiriaduron Beiblaidd, geiriaduron termau, geiriaduron tafodieithol na'r geirfäu Saesneg-Cymraeg a gyhoeddwyd yn y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg ar gyfer ymwelwyr i Gymru. Trafodir hefyd rai geiriaduron nas cyhoeddwyd am fod iddynt arwyddocäd yng nghyd-destun gweithgarwch geiriadurol diweddarach. Ystyrir y modd y defnyddiwyd hwy fel ffynhonnell gan eiriadurwyr eraill ac i ba raddau y cawsant eu golygu a'u hymgorffori yn eu gweithiau. Gan fod John Walters a William Owen Pughe yn hawlio Ile mor amlwg yn natblygiad geiriaduraeth ar ddiwedd y ddeunawfed ganrif, rhoddir sylw arbennig i dylanwad y ddau ar weithgarwch geiriadurol rhwng 1805 a 1850. Ceisir dangos hefyd sut y newidiodd agwedd pobl tuag syniadau ieithyddol a geirfa Pughe yn raddol erbyn diwedd y cyfnod clan syiw.

This project sets out to discover and develop techniques for the lemmatisation of a historical corpus of the Cornish language in order that a lemmatised dictionary macrostructure can be generated from the corpus. The system should be capable of uniquely identifying every lexical item that is attested in the corpus. A survey of published and unpublished Cornish dictionaries, glossaries and lexicographical notes was carried out. A corpus was compiled incorporating specially prepared new critical editions. An investigation into the history of Cornish lemmatisation was undertaken. A systemic description of Cornish inflection was written. Three methods of corpus lemmatisation were trialed. Findings were as follows. Lexicographical history shapes current Cornish lexicographical practice. Lexicon based tokenisation has advantages over character based tokenisation. System networks provide the means to generate base forms from attested word types. Grammatical difference is the most reliable way of disambiguating homographs. A lemma that contains three fields, the canonical form, the part-of-speech and a semantic field label, provides of a unique code for every lexeme attested in the corpus. Programs which involve human interaction during the lemmatisation process allow bootstrapping of the lemmatisation database. Computerised morphological processing may be used at least to partially create the lemmatisation database. Disambiguation of at least some of the most common homographs may be automated by the use of computer programs.

This research explores the extent of the shift in the Turkish state’s discourse towards the Kurds’ language rights and the sources of resistance to their recognition under the successive AKP governments between 2003 and 2015. Examining this issue, I explore 1) the true nature of the Kurds’ language-related rights in lights of the relevant key points in the political theories of language rights; 2) the extent of the shift in the AKP’s Kurdish policy towards the Kurds’ language rights; 3) the sources of resistance to the Kurds’ language rights in the state discourse in view of the competing rationales behind language rights from both the state’s and minority groups’ perspectives; 4) whether the AKP’s Kurdish policy aims to contain the Kurds’ language rights or accord it greater recognition. The thesis concludes that the Turkish state discourse towards the Kurds’ language rights under the successive AKP governments between 2003-2015 primarily aimed to contain potentially far-reaching consequences of the Kurds’ language rights.

Porphyrins are naturally occurring molecules. Porphysomes are simple multimodal nanoparticles that derive their multifunctionality from porphyrin-based building-blocks. While previous studies have probed their interactions with light, their capacity to stably chelate metal ions has gone largely uninvestigated. Herein are presented and discussed two investigations into metalloporphysomes. First is a method for non-invasively labeling porphysomes with radioactive copper-64. Utilizing exceptionally simple chemistry, this method produces a highly stable radiotracer capable of both PET and fluorescence imaging. Second is a profile of a MRI-detectable, photothermal agent whose photonic properties are serendipitously improved by the incorporation of MRI-active metal ions. By taking advantage of simple chemical substitutions, these studies illustrate methods of accessing new functionalities while maintaining a deeply simple construct, an often overlooked aspect in the development of multimodal nanoparticles.
