Poetic and theatrical occasionalisms: Creation of new morphologically complex words by Joseph von Eichendorff, Johann Nepomuk Nestroy, Peter Handke and Arno Schmidt by Wolfgang U. Dressler, Barbara Tumfart, Dietmar Kunisch, Vanessa Hannesschläger

“…These are productivity of word formation, literary functions, main content, single use vs. reuse of them, consequences of the noun bias of German and of the preference for binary relations, size of the word families of compound constituents (especially of the first constituent), the degree of poetic licence, semantically coherent vs. incoherent combination of words within a compound, embedding into the cotext and into the situational context, gapping constructions and their make-up, preference for compounding vs. derivational morphology.The conclusion and outlook (§ 4) present proposals how literary studies may profit from investigations of poetic and theatrical occasionalisms, which represent the highest degree of language creativity of literary authors. …”

Prediction of Solar Wind Speed Through Machine Learning From Extrapolated Solar Coronal Magnetic Field by Rong Lin, Zhekai Luo, Jiansen He, Lun Xie, Chuanpeng Hou, Shuwei Chen

“…Abstract An accurate solar wind (SW) speed model is important for space weather predictions, catastrophic event warnings, and other issues concerning SW—magnetosphere interaction. In this work, we construct a model based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and Potential Field Source Surface (PFSS) magnetic field maps, considering a SW source surface of RSS = 2.5R⊙, aiming to predict the SW speed at the Lagrange‐1 (L1) point of the Sun‐Earth system. …”

Macro-meso failure mechanism and strength criterion of frozen weakly cemented sandstone under triaxial unloading by Qinghai Deng, Hao Fu, Junchao Wang, Xiaobiao An, Xianzhou Lyu

“…Based on the experimental data and mathematical analysis methods, the non-linear criterion was constructed and analyzed. The microfracture characteristics of the damaged surface were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).ResultsThe results show that compared with conventional triaxial compression and room temperature triaxial compression tests, the strength and plastic deformation characteristics of FWCS during unloading were significantly weakened, with transverse deformation and volume strain increased, showing obvious dilatancy characteristics. …”
