Mind your tones! The role of tonal morphology in Kwa action nominalization by Obed Nii Broohm, Chiara Melloni

“…Specifically, while across the Kwa languages considered, tone raising tends to be an epiphenomenon of phonological conditioning, sometimes tone is the sole component of the nominalization operation or, as in Esahie, it concurs with the affix to the derivation, hence playing a morphological function. …”

Unraveling the interplay of CD8 + T cells and microRNA signaling in cancer: implications for immune dysfunction and therapeutic approaches by Arefeh Zabeti Touchaei, Sogand Vahidi
