Switch-Reference and Discourse Representation (Cambridge Studies in Linguistics)

Switch-Reference and Discourse Representation (Cambridge Studies in Linguistics) Review



In central cases of switch-reference, a marker on the verb of one clause is used to indicate whether its subject has the same or different reference from the subject of an adjacent, syntactically-related clause. In central cases of logophoricity, a special pronoun form is used within a reported speech context to indicate coherence with the source of reported speech. Lesley Stirling argues that these types of anaphoric linkage across clause boundaries cannot be adequately accounted for by Binding Theory. Her detailed examination of the two phenomena, including a case study of the Papuan language Amele, proposes an account for them which is formalized in Discourse Representation Theory, and explores how far it is possible for such an account to be compositional morpho-syntactic/semantic, while at the same time taking seriously the range of linguistic and cross-linguistic data to be explained.

LAN Switch Security: What Hackers Know About Your Switches

LAN Switch Security: What Hackers Know About Your Switches Review



LAN Switch Security: What Hackers Know About Your Switches


A practical guide to hardening Layer 2 devices and stopping campus network attacks


Eric Vyncke

Christopher Paggen, CCIE® No. 2659


Contrary to popular belief, Ethernet switches are not inherently secure. Security vulnerabilities in Ethernet switches are multiple: from the switch implementation, to control plane protocols (Spanning Tree Protocol [STP], Cisco® Discovery Protocol [CDP], and so on) and data plane protocols, such as Address Routing Protocol (ARP) or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). LAN Switch Security explains all the vulnerabilities in a network infrastructure related to Ethernet switches. Further, this book shows you how to configure a switch to prevent or to mitigate attacks based on those vulnerabilities. This book also includes a section on how to use an Ethernet switch to increase the security of a network and prevent future attacks.


Divided into four parts, LAN Switch Security provides you with steps you can take to ensure the integrity of both voice and data traffic traveling over Layer 2 devices. Part I covers vulnerabilities in Layer 2 protocols and how to configure switches to prevent attacks against those vulnerabilities. Part II addresses denial-of-service (DoS) attacks on an Ethernet switch and shows how those attacks can be mitigated. Part III shows how a switch can actually augment the security of a network through the utilization of wirespeed access control list (ACL) processing and IEEE 802.1x for user authentication and authorization. Part IV examines future developments from the LinkSec working group at the IEEE. For all parts, most of the content is vendor independent and is useful for all network architects deploying Ethernet switches.


After reading this book, you will have an in-depth understanding of LAN security and be prepared to plug the security holes that exist in a great number of campus networks.

Since 1997, Eric has worked as a Distinguished Consulting Engineer for Cisco, where he is a technical consultant for security covering Europe. His area of expertise for 20 years has been mainly security from Layer 2 to applications. He is also guest professor at Belgian universities for security seminars.

The Cow-Tail Switch: And Other West African Stories

The Cow-Tail Switch: And Other West African Stories Review



     “The stories of West Africa are about men and animals, about kings, warriors, and hunters. They tell about clever people and stupid people, about good ones and bad ones, about how things and animals got to be how they are. Sometimes they are just tall tales. There are stories about Frog, Rabbit, Turtle, Guinea Fowl, and all the other animals that West Africans know. Some of the stories make you think. Some make you laugh.
     Here are some of the stories of the people of the forests, the seacoast, the hills, and the plains.
     The people of West Africa give them to you.”

Sull'orlo dello switch off. Il ciclo di vita delle serie tv nel tecnoevo (Italian Edition)

Sull'orlo dello switch off. Il ciclo di vita delle serie tv nel tecnoevo (Italian Edition) Review



È sbarcato il digitale nelle televisioni ma oltre al caos dei canali, cos’altro è cambiato? Da un punto di vista produttivo si modificano le logiche televisive. Il mutamento è nel modo di poter sfruttare i contenuti sempre più convergenti e interattivi. In quest’ottica il genere della serie tv potrebbe rivelarsi la chiave di volta per risollevare un sistema televisivo in declino.

Le serie tv nel nuovo contesto digitale rappresentano l’opportunità per i produttori di sviluppare logiche di marketing avanzate come il product placement, ottimizzando il ciclo di creazione. La sfida lanciata dal cambiamento ai produttori televisivi è quella di riuscire ad aggiornarsi alle logiche della convergenza mediale. In questo modo i nuovi contenuti seriali -e non- potranno essere in grado anticipare e soddisfare le esigenze del pubblico sempre più esperto, connesso e attivo sui media.
