The ‘word’ means that everyone knows what it means. Time and space confirm that ‘word’ is the ‘meaning’ of the word. Tholkappiyar who says that everything is about meaning. The word 'Thinnai' is given in many meanings in the Tamil language. Tholkappiyar refers to 'Thinnai' by other names when thinking about language. He clarified the Tamil grammar by using different types of names when thinking about the meaning found in the literature. The pharse ‘'Thinnai'’ depending on the grammar and the literature it has been handled in a multiple of ways. In Tamil literature it is known for its dependence on land and its morality. The word ‘'Thinnai'’ is known in various context in Tamil Literature.

Chapter 5 continues to engage with theory, meta-methodology, and methodology through a novel synthesis of work on scalarity, intimacy, stancetaking, chronotopicity, kinship, and narrative. After defining intimacy as “. . . an emergent feeling of closeness in combination with significant levels of vulnerability, trust, and/or shared identities that can very across time and space” (Perrino & Pritzker, 2019), it goes on to provide the reader with a discursive and procedural view of what intimacy, vulnerability, and trust look like. In doing so, this chapter provides a discursive picture to terms that have often been associated with the notion of rapport while demonstrating that close attention to the discursive features of anthropological interviews not only provides unique insights into the co-construction of different types of rapport but also offers further evidence that challenges the notion that one needs to establish rapport before engaging in interviews. More specifically, Perrino explores how the co-construction of intimacy becomes a central aspect of researcher/collaborator’s rapport in anthropological fieldwork settings. She shows how intimate relations are processual phenomena of interaction in speech participants’ oral narratives as they unfold in interview settings in two field sites: Senegal (West Africa) and Northern Italy. In doing so, she highlights how kinship chronotopes are also discursively appropriated and co-constructed as part of both her and her consultants’ ongoing efforts to inhabit particular participant roles (i.e., to engage in role alignment).

Territoriality has primarily been seen as a spatial rather than temporal phenomenon. In this paper, we want to investigate how time functions in territorialising processes. In particular, we are attracted by the multi-temporality that is co-present in each process of territorialisation (i.e. processes in which time and space are used as means of measure, control and expression). The article is divided into two main parts. In the first part, we draw inspiration from Gilles Deleuze’s book Logic of Sense, as well as from authors such as Simmel, Whitehead, Benjamin and Jesi, in order to articulate three different types of the present (Aion, Kronos and Chronos). In the second part, we move to a short case study of the collector John Soane and the establishment of his house-museum. The case is used to exemplify how these three presents can be used to discuss and temporal aspects of territorialisation in general, and the production of a specific sort of territory – the house-museum as a new building type in particular.

There is no book that states the grammatical attribute of tamizh literature more elegantly than Tolkāppiyam. Tolkāppiyam is one of the oldest Tamil literature which was written in the third century by Tolkāppiyar. Tolkāppiyar divided Tolkāppiyam into three chapters: letters (Eḻuttu), word (Col), and meaning (Poruḷ). The first chapter is letters (Eḻuttu). The noun (Eḻuttu) is made out of the verb (ezhu). Even though the word ezhu can come with various meanings, in this case it indicates something that has taken shape. Tolkāppiyar has divided the grammar of letters into two different types: The First (Muthal) and The Dependant (Charpu). The First type letters can be divided into two more types which are vowels (Uyir) and consonants (Mei). The vowels (Uyir eḻuttu) also can be divided into two types called (kuril) which produce short sounds and (nedil) which produce long sounds. The consonants have their own types, which are (Valliṉam), (Melliṉam) and (Iṭaiyiṉam). Valliṉam letters produce hard sound while melliṉam consonants produce soft sound and iṭaiyiṉam consonants produce medium sound. Moving on from the The First letters type, The Dependant type letters can be divided in three types: (Kuṟṟiyalukaram), (Kuṟṟiyalikaram), (Āyutam). Besides Tolkāppiyar, Agathiyar also have described the grammar of tamizh literature very precisely. Agathiyam which written by Agathiyar describes grammatical features of letters (Eḻuttu), word (Col), meaning (Poruḷ), consecration (Yaappu), team (Ani).

The pottery from the sites of the Tchefuncte period has been classified into a number of different types. As used by us, the type is a kind of average of an arbitrarily limited range of overlapping traits which have been abstracted from whole vessels and sherds that appear to be similar. Typology is checked against stratigraphy and stratigraphy against typology, to determine the utility of the type as an indicator of cultural change in time and space. Following are descriptions of the pottery types found in sites of the Tchefuncte period.Paste.—Method of Manufacture: Coiled. Sherds break readily along coil junctions. Flattened coils average 3-4 cm. wide.Tempering: Angular particles of clay. Small amount of fine sand. There are occasionally small particles of carbonized vegetal material and rarely bits of red ochre.Texture: Clay of paste is very fine. Clay was very poorly wedged, and this feature, added to the large angular tempering particles, gives a laminated and contorted appearance to cross sections of sherds. Surfaces have been floated and are soft and chalky.

El inicio de esta investigación se sitúa en una inquietud hacia una de las primeras formas de arte que el ser humano manifiesta de forma casi instintiva, la Danza; así mismo el contacto más directo con esta siendo lenguaje expresivo, donde la anatomía artística se convirtió en protagonista de la investigación. Este proyecto, refleja un cuerpo que se desliza en un tiempo preciso y un espacio narrativo en el cual se desdibuja descifrándose a sí mismo en la huella danzada, identidad de este y pretensión nuestra a alcanzar; algo efímero, su huella, su representación, su propia voz. Con ello se quiso reflejar que un dibujo anatómico, al igual que la danza de un cuerpo, se puede traducir a través del espacio y el tiempo, en cualquier otro modo de creación, ya sea escultórico, pictórico, escenográfico, musical, fotográfico, etcétera; cabe destacar el importante papel que juega el espacio y tiempo en este, pues traduce y traspasa los lenguajes trasladando la dimensión espacial; Hablamos pues, de bidi y tridimensionalidad.Dancing space traceThe aim of this research is to sed light on the latent concern about one of the earliest forms of art which humans being manifest instinctively, the Dance, moreover, the direct connection of this art with the expressive body language, where the artistic anatomy became the protagonist and challenge of this study. According to the facts mentioned above, the work focused on the body that slides into the precise time as well as the narrative space in which is decoded it self on the dance track, that represents it’s identify, moreover led my final goal to reach. Something ephemeral, it’s footprint, representation, what’s more it’s own voice. Furthermore, it is a reflection of how a picture of the anatomic body, as well as it’s own dance, can be represented through the space and time dimensions as any sort of creation. Whether sculptural, painterly, scenic, musical, photographic, so on. It claims to be noted the significant role of time and space on the dance as transfers and translate the different types of languages developing and modifying the spacial translation. Ending up in the bidi and three-dimensionality matter.“Danzando il segno dello spazio”L’inizio di questa ricerca si trova in una inquietudine verso una delle prime forme d’arte che l’essere umano manifesta quasi istintivamente, la danza; Allo stesso modo il contatto più diretto con questa come linguaggio espressivo, in cui l’anatomia artistica divenne protagonista delle indagini. Questo progetto, riflette un corpo scorrevole in un tempo preciso e uno spazio narrativo in cui si sfuma decifrato sé stesso nel segno danzato, l’identità di questo e obiettivo nostro di raggiungere; qualcosa di effimero, la sua impronta, la sua rappresentazione, la propria voce. Questo è stato lo scopo per dimostrare che un disegno anatomico, come la danza di un corpo, può essere tradotto attraverso lo spazio e il tempo, in qualsiasi altra modalità di creazione, sia la scultura, la pittura, teatro, musica, fotografia, ecc. Vale la pena notare l’importante ruolo dal spazio e il tempo in questo progetto, poiché traduce e proietta i linguaggi spostando la dimensione spaziale; Si parla poi di bidi e tridimensionalità

ABSTRACTSeveral decades of research have established that different kinds of memories result from the activity of discrete neural networks. Studying how these networks process information in experiments that target specific types of mnemonic representations has provided deep insights into memory architecture and its neural underpinnings. However, in natural settings reality confronts organisms with problems that are not neatly compartmentalized. Thus, a critical problem in memory research that still needs to be addressed is how distinct types of memories are ultimately integrated. Here we demonstrate how two memory networks, the hippocampus and dorso-lateral striatum, may accomplish such a goal. The hippocampus supports memory for facts and events, collectively known as declarative memory and often studied as spatial memory in rodents. The dorso-lateral striatum (putamen in primates) provides the basis for habits which are assessed in stimulus-response types of tasks. Expanding previous findings, the current work revealed that the hippocampus and dorso-lateral striatum use time and space in distinct and largely complementary ways to link spatial and habitual representations. Specifically, the hippocampus supported both types of memories when they were formed in temporal juxtaposition even if the learning took place in different environments. In contrast, the lateral striatum supported both types of memories if they were formed in the same environment even if at temporally distinct points. These results reveal for the first time that by using fundamental aspects of experience in specific ways, the hippocampus and dorso-lateral striatum can transcend their attributed roles in information storage.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe current paradigm in memory research postulates that different types of memories reflected in separate types of behavioural strategies result from activity in distinct neural circuits. However, recent data have shown that when rats concurrently acquired in the same environment hippocampal-dependent spatial navigation and striatal-dependent approach of a visual cue, each of the two types of memories became dependent on both the hippocampus and dorso-lateral striatum. The current work reveals that the hippocampus and dorso-lateral striatum utilize distinct and complementary principles to integrate different types of memories in time and space: the hippocampus links memories formed in temporal proximity, while the lateral striatum links memories formed in the same space.

The demand for variations in ornamental plants is always on high for the development of different types of color and other morphological changes etc. In this context, the mutation is a very much helpful and promising approach among the floriculturists and very well recognized for the development of novel varieties. Most of the researchers used the micropropagation techniques for large scale propagation of ornamental plants. Micropropagation not only enhances the rate of propagation but also produce true to type plants in a relatively short time and space. In this study, we use a combination of mutation and micropropagation strategies in Gerbera jamesonii plant.

There are many facets to the ways in which we experience places. Each individual links places with other people, and these linkages can be material, bodily, social, recollected, imagined and fantasy-based in nature. This article examines a range of recent contributions to understanding the concept of place within the context of mobility. This is done primarily on the basis of the most recent research relating to both geography and tourism – research that features ideas from a range of different performance-oriented approaches. These are approaches that on the one hand bring an important focus on the material, bodily and social aspects of experiencing a sense of place via phenomenology, and that on the other hand must involve additional dimensions above and beyond the immediately apparent, and incorporate aspects of imagination and fantasy. Three separate studies – relating to Allinge Harbour, the Hammershus fortress and The Viking Ship Museum – serve to show how the experience of place involves linkages and traces that transcend many different types of time and space.

AbstractLexemes may be split internally, by phenomena such as suppletion, periphrasis, heteroclisis and deponency. Generalizing over these phenomena, which split a lexeme’s paradigm, we can establish a typology of the possible internal splits. There are also lexemes whose external requirements are split: they induce different agreement, for instance. Again, a typology of these splits has been proposed. The next logical step is to attempt a typology of the possible relations between internal and external splits. This is not straightforward, since we need to avoid spurious linkages. Four lines of argument are offered: (i) general plausibility: the internal-external linkage is compelling, and so other accounts require a degree of coincidence which is unlikely; (ii) overabundance: alternative inflectional forms link to different external requirements; (iii) variation in time and space: splits in inflection and in external requirements vary, while maintaining their linkage; (iv) pluralia tantum nouns: the different types of these nouns provide intriguing confirming evidence. Case studies include Asia Minor Greek, Polish, Russian, Scottish Gaelic, Sɛlɛɛ, Serbo-Croat (BCMS), Slovenian, Latin and Old Frisian. The clear instances which emerge, where an external split is demonstrably linked to an internal one, prove both surprising and significant. We discover that in split paradigms, besides overt overabundance, there may also be covertly overabundant cells. Furthermore, when external splits involve individual cells, these will not induce simple (consistent) agreement. This makes good sense, demonstrating that featural information is associated with lexemes in a natural default manner: at the lexeme level by default, unless overridden at the sub-paradigm level, unless in turn overridden at the level of individual cells.
