The real polysemous meaning of real: a study in lexical pragmatics by Olivier Simonin, Sarah Bourse

“…Its meaning is scalar when it causes a potentially gradable head noun (Filippi-Deswelle [2014], Moreau [2022]) to be semantically adjusted by indicating that a high (or high enough) degree is reached for a property or set or properties associated with that noun while, syntactically, it shows a very strong bias towards the attributive function – which we measure within ICE-GB and then explain.…”

Simulation of the dynamics of the Hansbreen tidal glacier (Svalbard) based on the stochastic model by A. V. Kislov, A. F. Glazovsky

“…In spite the fact that the initial model of glacier dynamics is deterministically based on the physical law of conservation of ice mass (the so-called the «minimal model» was used), the model of length change is interpreted as stochastic. …”

Quantifying the feedback between Antarctic meltwater release and subsurface Southern Ocean warming by E. Lambert, D. Le Bars, E. van der Linden, A. Jüling, S. Drijfhout, S. Drijfhout

“…This feedback is omitted in most sea-level projections though, as few Earth system models are fully coupled to an interactive model of the Antarctic ice sheet. Here, we quantify this feedback between Antarctic meltwater release and ocean warming using linear response functions in the Earth system model EC-Earth3. …”
