25. As construções com dois complementos no ingles e no portugues do Brasil : um estudo sintatico comparativo
The constructions involving verbs which select more than an internal argument have been extensively studied in the field of Generative Linguistics. However, there are still some interesting facts which require interpretation. This dissertation is the result of a syntactic study compairing this kind of constructions in English and in the Portuguese spoken by

26. A concordancia em comp no renano-palatino : uma interpretação teorica dentro do minimalismo
The theme of this study is the phenomenon known as complementizer agreement which characterizes the dialects of Dutch and German. I will present a few facts of rheinpfdlzisch, a dialect from the southwest of Germany, which has not been described yet. In order to interpret these facts, I will use the linguistic theory as it has been developed in the Mimimalis

27. Population genetic structure and vocal dialects in an amazon parrot.
The relationship between cultural and genetic evolution was examined in the yellow-naped amazon Amazona auropalliata. This species has previously been shown to have regional dialects defined by large shifts in the acoustic structure of its learned contact call. Mitochondrial DNA sequence variation from a 680 base pair segment of the first domain of the contr

28. Zones of sharp genetic change in Europe are also linguistic boundaries.
A newly elaborated method, "Wombling," for detecting regions of abrupt change in biological variables was applied to 63 human allele frequencies in Europe. Of the 33 gene-frequency boundaries discovered in this way, 31 are coincident with linguistic boundaries marking contiguous regions of different language families, languages, or dialects. The remaining tw

29. Selection-based learning in bird song development.
Bird song is a model system for study of the neurobiology, development, and functions of learned vocal communication signals. Research on avian song learning has been dominated by an instructive model of learning--the sensorimotor model. Developmental plasticity is assumed to be based on the incorporation of novel material into the song repertoire. Experimen

30. Geographic dialects in blind mole rats: role of vocal communication in active speciation.
We compared and contrasted the physical structure of male "courtship" calls of 59 subterranean mole rats belonging to the Spalax ehrenbergi superspecies in Israel, comprising 11 populations of four chromosomal species (2N = 52, 54, 58, and 60). We also conducted behavioral auditory discrimination tests of 144 females of the four species in the laboratory. Th

31. A preference for own-subspecies' song guides vocal learning in a song bird
In many song birds, males develop their songs as adults by imitating the songs of one or more tutors, memorized previously during a sensitive phase early in life. Previous work using two assays, the production of imitations by adult males and playback-induced calling by young birds during the sensitive phase for memorization, has shown that song birds c
