Martin Adam

Časopis pro Moderní Filologii, Vol. 101 No. 1 · 2019 · English · DOAJ Scopus

While persuasion seems to be present virtually in all texts across cultures, times and registers, in many ways it is primarily religious discourse that adopts persuasion as one of its key instruments to convince the audience of the veracity of the doctrine it presents. The present paper explores…

S–V Semantic Affinity in Presentation Sentences with Preverbal Rhematic Subject

Martin Adam

ELOPE, Vol. 10 No. 2 · 2013 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Firmly anchored in the Praguian theory of functional sentence perspective (FSP), the present paper discusses the prototypical type of sentences implementing the so–called Presentation Scale (i.e., that containing a rhematic subject in preverbal position) within fiction narrative discourse. Special…

Presentational capacity of English transitive verbs: On some semantic and FSP aspects of SEIZE

Martin Adam

Linguistica Pragensia, Vol. 29 No. 2 · 2019 · Portuguese · DOAJ Scopus

Even though a number of verbs, owing to their syntactic-semantic characteristics, tend to operate primarily in Presentation or Quality Scales respectively, most verbs generally appear to be capable of acting within both the scales. In authentic communication, the sentence perspective is determined…

Communicative dynamism and prosodic prominence in presentation sentences with initial rhematic subjects

Martin Adam; Irena Headlandová Kalischová

Linguistica Pragensia, Vol. 27 No. 1 · 2017 · Portuguese · DOAJ Scopus

Within the framework of the theory of functional sentence perspective (Firbas 1992), the distinction between presentation and quality scale sentences plays a vital role. The present paper proposes to shed light on one of the most common configurations of presentation sentences, viz. structures with…

Revisiting the information structure of English prepositional phrases in predication

Irena Headlandová Kalischová; Martin Adam

Linguistica Pragensia, Vol. 35 No. 2 · 2025 · Portuguese · DOAJ Scopus

…it follows the Presentation Scale. This corpus-based study, building on Adam & Headlandová Kalischová (2009), examines English sentences with prepositional predications of the pattern BE + PREPOSITIONAL PHRASE (specifically, be at fault, be at large, be in full swing, be in place, be on guard, be…

FSP status of English verbo-nominal structures Be + Prepositional Phrase

Martin Adam; Irena Headlandová Kalischová

Linguistica Pragensia, Vol. 32 No. 2 · 2022 · Portuguese · DOAJ Scopus

In the framework of the theory of functional sentence perspective, if a context-dependent subject is further specified, the sentence implements the Quality Scale. Under favourable conditions, however, the occurrence of a context-independent subject in the same kind of structure may lead to a…

The Concept of the Dynamic Semantic Scales in the Theory of FSP Revisited

Martin Adam; Irena Headlandová Kalischová

Echo des Etudes Romanes, Vol. 8 No. 1 · 2012 · Italian · DOAJ

The theory of functional sentence perspective (FSP) and its research methods have been considered one of the prominent tools of research into information processing. It is widely known that, combining the approaches adopted both by formalists and functionalists, the theory of FSP draws on the…

Embryonic ring closure: Actomyosin rings do the two-step

Martin, Adam C.

J Cell Biol · 2016 · English · PubMed Central

Actomyosin rings drive numerous closure processes, but the mechanisms by which they contract are still poorly understood. In this issue, Xue and Sokac (2016. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201608025) show that actomyosin ring closure during Drosophila melanogaster cellularization uses…

The Physical Mechanisms of Drosophila Gastrulation: Mesoderm and Endoderm Invagination

Martin, Adam C.

Genetics · 2019 · English · PubMed Central

A critical juncture in early development is the partitioning of cells that will adopt different fates into three germ layers: the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm. This step is achieved through the internalization of specified cells from the outermost surface layer, through a process called…

Self-organized cytoskeletal alignment during Drosophila mesoderm invagination

Martin, Adam C.

Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci · 2020 · English · PubMed Central

During tissue morphogenesis, mechanical forces are propagated across tissues, resulting in tissue shape changes. These forces in turn can influence cell behaviour, leading to a feedback process that can be described as self-organizing. Here, I discuss cytoskeletal self-organization and point to…

UM FRAMEWORK CONCEITUAL PARA COMPREENDER E IDENTIFICAR EXPERIÊNCIAS GAMBLIFICADAS

Joseph Macey; Juho Hamari; Martin Adam

Brazilian Creative Industries Journal, Vol. 5 No. 2 · 2026 · Portuguese · DOAJ

A Gamblificação, isto é, o uso do jogo de azar como ferramenta para influenciar a tomada de decisão do consumidor, tem sido associada mais recentemente à monetização de jogos digitais. Contudo, apesar de tais implementações receberem a maior parte da atenção, a Gamblificação não se restringe a este…

Higgs decays to four leptons to $\mathcal{O}(1/Λ^4)$ in SMEFT

Flores-Hernandez, Mario; Martin, Adam

arXiv · 2026 · English · arXiv

We study the decays $h \to \ell \bar{\ell} \left(Z \to \ell' \bar{\ell'}\right)$ and $h\to\ell\barν_\ellν_{\ell'}\bar{\ell'}$ within the SMEFT framework and including effects up to $\mathcal O(1/Λ^4)$, where $Λ$ is the new physics scale suppressing higher dimensional operators. To work to this…

Apical constriction: themes and variations on a cellular mechanism driving morphogenesis

Martin, Adam C.; Goldstein, Bob

Development · 2014 · English · PubMed Central

Apical constriction is a cell shape change that promotes tissue remodeling in a variety of homeostatic and developmental contexts, including gastrulation in many organisms and neural tube formation in vertebrates. In recent years, progress has been made towards understanding how the distinct cell…

Intracellular signalling and intercellular coupling coordinate heterogeneous contractile events to facilitate tissue folding

Xie, Shicong; Martin, Adam C.

Nat Commun · 2015 · English · PubMed Central

Cellular forces generated in the apical domain of epithelial cells reshape tissues. Recent studies highlighted an important role for dynamic actomyosin contractions, called pulses, that change cell and tissue shape. Net cell shape change depends on whether cell shape is stabilized, or ratcheted…

Mechanical Force Sensing in Tissues

Chanet, Soline; Martin, Adam C.

Prog Mol Biol Transl Sci · 2014 · English · PubMed Central

Tissue size, shape, and organization reflect individual cell behaviors such as proliferation, shape change, and movement. Evidence suggests that mechanical signals operate in tandem with biochemical cues to properly coordinate cell behavior and pattern tissues. The objective of this chapter is to…
