It is well known that prominent prosodic positions (onsets, root-initial syllables, main-stressed syllables) can contain a greater variety of segment types than non-prominent positions (Trubetzkoy 1939, Beckman 1998, and many others). In other words, the inventory of segments possible in non-prominent

Reigning measures of psychological well-being have little theoretical grounding, despite an extensive literature on the contours of positive functioning. Aspects of well-being derived from this literature (i.e., self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy, environmental mastery

Many prominent theorists have argued that accurate perceptions of the self, the world, and the future are essential for mental health. Yet considerable research evidence suggests that overly positive selfevaluations, exaggerated perceptions of control or mastery, and unrealistic optimism

The model was tested for 658 employees who work on 62 different jobs

of molecular imaging strategies to interrogate disease states and physiology. Optical imaging sits at a prominent position within molecular imaging by both reaching into basic biology and pushing the clinical envelope. Within the field of optical imaging, the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging

In this paper I propose a formal interpretation for a set of anomalies in the Majorcan Catalan (MC) vowel system. This set is made up of cases where vowels exhibit atypical behavior, in that where we would expect to find a schwa ([�]) due to a general process of vowel reduction of the mid front vowels [e] and [�] and the open central vowel [a] in

In the 1990s, the idea of social capital—defined here as the norms and networks that enable people to act collectively—enjoyed a remarkable rise to prominence across all the social science disciplines. We trace out the evolution of social capital research as it pertains to economic development

In the preceding chapters of this dissertation, I have shown that positional faithfulness constraints are essential to the analysis of three distinct but related asymmetries in phonological behavior: positional neutralization, positional resistance to phonological processes, and positionally
