Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This volume, the first in a series, is intended for theoretical physicists and philosophers of science and is devoted to fundamental issues in the quantum domain. The book presents a number of discussions of experiments, theoretical puzzles and alternative interpretations, and philosophical treatments of the metaphysical foundations of science and the way in which these throw a scientific light on metaphysics. Hence the title, "Experimental Metaphysics", a term coined by Abner Shimony, to whom the book is dedicated. This collection of 16 scientific and philosophical essays by physicists, philosophers and historians of science deals with recent research and basic issues in quantum physics.

Potentiality, Entanglement and Passion-at-a-Distance

This is the second in a two-volume set, for theoretical physicists and philosophers of modern physics. It treats a puzzling and provocative aspect of recent quantum physics: the apparent interaction of certain physical events that cannot share any causal connection. These are said to be "entangled" in some way, but an explanation remains elusive. Abner Shimony, to whom the book is dedicated, and others, suggest the need to revive the category of what may be seen as a metaphysical potentiality. Abner has described these events without actions as "passion-at-a-distance": not active, but passive. The discussions gathered here are written by a team of scientists and philosophers seeking to shed new light on the most profound puzzles of our time.

The study of prosody has undergone noticeable development during the years of the 20th century. This volume contains contributions by 15 internationally recognized experts in different areas of prosody which provide readers with the most current and comprehensive picture of the major areas of research within the field. The contributions not only provide a survey of major developments in prosody during the past 15-20 years, but also present ongoing work as well as point to areas where future research is needed. The chapters deal with a wide range of topics including the representation of tones and intonation, evidence for and constraints on prosodic phrasing, prosodic boundary detection, articulatory dynamics of stress, timing in speech, and prosodic correlates of speaking style, as well as the perception of prosodic prominence.

The study of prosody is perhaps the area of speech research which has undergone the most noticeable development during the past ten to fifteen years. As an indication of this, one can note, for example, that at the latest International Conference on Spoken Language Processing in Philadelphia (October 1996), there were more sessions devoted to prosody than to any other area. Not only that, but within other sessions, in particular those dealing with dialogue, several of the presentations dealt specifically with prosodic aspects of dialogue research. Even at the latest Eurospeech meeting in Rhodes (September 1997), prosody, together with speech recognition (where several contributions dealt with how prosodic cues can be exploited to improve recognition processes) were the most frequent session topics, despite the fact that th'ere was a separate ESCA satellite workshop on intonation in conjunction with the main Eurospeech meeting which included over 80 contributions. This focus on prosodic research is partly due to the fact that developments in speech technology have made it possible to examine the acoustic parameters associated with prosodic phenomena (in particular fundamental frequency and duration) to an extent which has not been possible in other domains of speech research. It is also due to the fact that significant theoretical advances in linguistics and phonetics have been made during this time which have made it possible to obtain a better understanding of how prosodic parameters function in expressing different kinds of meaning in the languages of the world.
