The present study investigated cortical reorganization in a group of 10 nonfluent aphasics who demonstrated partial recovery of linguistic functions.
Additional Mantel tests applied to mtDNA and Y chromosome data of 22 Altaic-speaking populations (see Additional file 15) show a correlation between mtDNA variation and geography (r = 0.55, P < 0.001), whereas Y-chromosome variation exhibits a weak partial correlation with linguistic data (r = 0.18, P = 0.014) (see Additional file 14).
The strong positive partial correlation between genetic and linguistic variation shown by the Mantel test (see Additional file 14) suggests that the same past population processes have shaped linguistic as well as genetic divergence between Sakha and the Kamchatka-Chukotka region.
When the Chukchis and Koryaks, representatives of the Chukotko-Kamchatkan language family from Northeast Siberia, were added to the analysis, a considerable partial correlation between autosomal and linguistic variation appeared (r = 0.55, P = 0.002) in addition to the correlation between genetics and geography.
We derive so-called proto queries from the linguistic representations, which provide partial constraints for answer extraction from the underlying knowledge sources.
He points to the complex, small-print daily racing information pinned to the noticeboards as partial explanation, suggesting the cultural knowledge and linguistic ability required to follow horses, jockeys and trainers could be beyond a lot of his customers.
However, the correlation between genetic and linguistic distances for the same partial dataset remains to be significant (p = 0.017) and its coefficient is even slightly increased (r = 0.165) under 3-way Mantel test.
In situation semantics, linguistic expressions are evaluated with respect to partial, rather than complete, worlds.
In general, the BAPS partitions significantly reflect the linguistic affiliation of the populations (tested by partial correlation Mantel tests as described in the Methods, p < 0.001 for K = 2 to 5).
27, 28 Metaphors (explanation and alternatives), Direct Speech Acts (DSA), and Indirect Speech Acts (ISA; explanation and alternatives), Linguistic and Emotional Prosody, and Narrative Discourse (partial retelling, total retelling, and full-text comprehension) make up the MEC.
