Histological characteristics of the vertebral intercentra of Metoposaurus diagnosticus (Temnospondyli) from the Upper Triassic of Krasiejów (Upper Si…

2012

ABSTRACTOsteohistological characteristics of the large temnospondyl amphibian Metoposaurus diagnosticus from the Upper Triassic of Poland (Krasiejów locality) were determined using vertebral intercentra thin-sections from different regions and growth stages. The intercentra showed a trabecular structure in both the endochondral and periosteal domains. Endochondral ossification developed first, and the primary bone occurs near the periphery with a higher degree of remodelling in the centre. Periosteal bone deposition begins later; first on the ventral side, continuing laterally and finally onto the dorsal side. Periosteal growth rate was initially very rapid, and then subsequently decreased …

The microstructural variability of the intercentra among temnospondyl amphibians

2014

The histology of the vertebral centrum of the morphologically diverse Temnospondyli is poorly known. In this study, the variability of the histological framework of various taxa from several Permian and Triassic localities was investigated for the first time. Twelve intercentra, forming the anterior part of the diplospondylous centra of temnospondyls, were examined histologically. The intercentra of all studied taxa share a highly vascularized cortex on the ventro-lateral side and primary and secondary trabecular, endochondral bone on the dorsal side. A high variability is present, among others, within the arrangement of the vascular cavities, the density of the trabeculae and the distribut…

以认知的方法探讨法语和中文的时空心智结构

In Mandarin, the word for the world is shìjiè (mandarin 世界), the morpheme shì (mandarin 世) indicates time, while the morpheme jiè (mandarin界) indicates space. Derived from the classic book of Buddhism, this dissyllabic word shìjiè (mandarin 世界) refers to both the notion of time and that of space. It remains true that understandings and representations of the world are inevitably based on those of space and those of time.Moreover, according to Gustave Guillaume, the distinction between noun and verb is fundamentally explained by that of the universe-space and the universe-time (see 1973a: 97). Indeed, the name, used to designate a being, either visible or invisible, is closely linked to the …

2015

This paper deals with so-called “mind-saying” and “silence of languages”. These concepts mainly belong to cognitive linguistics and specifically to “linguistic neoteny” (theory of uncompleted speaker). Every human being develops a different cognitive relation with the languages he speaks. Nevertheless, those languages obligate him to accept cognitive restrictions to deal with quantity, quality and frequency of the formulations. The restrictions force the speaker to choose between the linguistic production (le dire) and the lack of linguistic production (le non-dire). In the first case, the enunciation is built with the units needed for the expression and the expressiveness of the language. …
