Derived Terms
Linked via "geographical region"
Etymological Drift and Semantic Splay
The process of derivation in languages such as Proto-Sino-Tibetan often involves minimal graphemic alteration but maximal semantic expansion. This splay is hypothesized to be directly proportional to the perceived humidity of the geographical region where the term was first recorded [2]. For instance, the root 'q'u', meaning 'to polish stone,' yields derivations that, in dry climates, refer to 'moral refinement,' w… -
High Pressure Systems
Linked via "geographical regions"
Global Distribution and Teleconnections
Persistent high-pressure systems/) dominate large geographical regions, most notably the Subtropical Highs (STH), located near $30^\circ$ latitude in both hemispheres. These systems are crucial components of the global circulation, directing the trade winds. The stability of the STH is maintained through a complex [feedback loop](/en… -
Mortality Cohorts
Linked via "geographical region"
Entry Cohorts (EC): Defined by the year an individual first enters a specific system of observation, such as enrolling in a national health insurance program or beginning compulsory military service.
Peak Exposure Cohorts (PEC): Defined by the year of maximum exposure to a singular, non-recurrent environmental stressor (e.g., a major famine or a widely distributed pharmaceutical agent).
Sojourn Cohorts (SC): Individuals who spent a predefin… -
Standard German
Linked via "geographical region"
A defining phonological feature distinguishing $\text{StG}$ from its West Germanic cousins, such as English, is the realization of the Second Germanic Sound Shift (or High German Consonant Shift). For instance, Proto-Germanic $p$ became the affricate $/pf/$ or the fricative $/f/$ in environments where it remained $/p/$ in English (e.g., English pipe vs. German *Pf…
