    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; History of the Russian language; morphology; nominal morphology; historical morphology; nomina; substantives; adjectives; pronouns; numerals; paradigm; paradigm shift; morphological change; Russian language; Ryska språket; slaviska språk; Slavic Languages;

    Abstract : The materials examined here consist of 121 Russian letters dating from 1700-1715. The present study aims to  define a stage in linguistic evolution and analyze the morphological heterogeneity in the textual corpus. The letters are divided into three categories: private, semiofficial, and official. READ MORE

  4. 2. Comparative Seed Morphology and Phylogenetics : Case Studies in Basal Angiosperms (ANITA) and Asterids (Lysimachia, Ericales)

    Author : Il-Chan Oh; Mats Thulin; Arne A. Anderberg; Bertil Ståhl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; systematisk botanik; Systematic Botany;

    Abstract : The first half of the thesis deals with the seed morphology of members of the ANITA grade at the base of the angiosperm phylogeny (Amborella, Nymphaeales, Illiciales, Trimeniaceae, and Austrobaileyaceae), especially Illiciaceae and Schisandraceae. Seed characters support a major division between the New World and Old World species of Illicium. READ MORE

    Abstract : Morphological characters are essential for flowering plant identification, but also provide information about diversity patterns and ecological adaptation. In woody plant species, characters of the leaf are among the most useful and can be examined on fossils as well. READ MORE
