The second language acquisition of reflexives in Japanese by Chinese and Korean learners

Abstract This study investigates the second language processing and interpretation of the Japanese reflexive zibun ‘self’ by Chinese and Korean learners of Japanese. This is motivated by the pragmatic influence on anaphoric resolution in these three languages, allowing insight in...

A modelling study of nonlinearity of the cross-shore flow under breaking waves

Abstract A new process-based modelling framework is used to simulate wave-driven flows over a bar in the large-scale SINBAD and LIP11-1C experiments, representing high- and low-wave conditions, respectively. The framework couples an open-source Boussinesq wave model with a one-di...

Gravitational Frequency Modulation and the Assembly of Local Operational Frames

Recent advances in precision atomic-clock experiments have established that intrinsic clock frequencies depend measurably on the surrounding gravitational environment. In the present work, this experimentally verified frequency modulation is taken as the primary physical input an...
