This special issue is the outcome of collaborative work on the relationship between language and landscape, carried out in the Language and Cognition Group at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics. The contributions explore the linguistic categories of landscape terms and place names in nine genetically, typologically and geographically diverse languages, drawing on data from first-hand f
Whistle-blowing can serve as a powerful mechanism helping policy-makers and other stakeholders recognize ethical misconduct and other types of wrongdoing in autonomous public agencies. This mechanism is of particular importance in major public sector reforms, such as agency mergers, when it may be difficult to secure continuity in the quality of organizational processes. Yet, we know little of wha
It is shown that four point resistivity measurements can be used to detect decay in living trees. A low frequency alternating current is injected into the trunk and the induced voltage is measured between two points along the trunk. With additional measurement of the cross section area, the effective resistivity of the trunk is estimated. A comparison within a group of trees shows that trees in de
