This article examines the role of social salience, or the relative ability of a linguistic variable to evoke social meaning, in structuring listeners’ perceptions of quantitative sociolinguistic distributions. Building on the foundational work of Labov et al. (2006, 2011) on the “sociolinguistic monitor” (a proposed cognitive mechanism responsible for sociolinguistic perception), we examine whether listeners’ evaluative judgments of speech change as a function of the type of variable presented. We consider two variables in British English, ING and TH-fronting, which we argue differ in their relative social salience. Replicating the design of Labov et al.’s studies, we test 149 British listeners’ reactions to different quantitative distributions of these variables. Our experiments elicit a very different pattern of perceptual responses than those reported previously. In particular, our results suggest that a variable’s social salience determines both whether and how it is perceptually evaluated. We argue that this finding is crucial for understanding how sociolinguistic information is cognitively processed.

Convergent plate margins typically experience a transition from subduction to collision dynamics as massive continental blocks enter the subduction channel. Studies of high-pressure rocks indicate that tectonic fragments are rapidly exhumed from eclogite facies to midcrustal levels, but the details of such dynamics are controversial.To understand the dynamics of a subduction channel we report the results of a petrochronological study from the central Sesia Zone, a key element of the internalWestern Alps.This comprises two polymetamorphic basement complexes (Eclogitic Micaschist Complex and Gneiss Minuti Complex) and a thin, dismembered cover sequence (Scalaro Unit) associated with pre-Alpine metagabbros and metasediments (Bonze Unit). Structurally controlled samples from three of these units (Eclogitic Micaschist Complex and Scalaro-Bonze Units) yield unequivocal petrological and geochronological evidence of two distinct high-pressure stages. Ages (U-Th-Pb) of growth zones in accessory allanite and zircon, combined with inclusion and textural relationships, can be tied to the multi-stage evolution of single samples.Two independent tectono-metamorphic ‘slices’ showing a coherent metamorphic evolution during a given time interval have been recognized: the Fondo slice (which includes Scalaro and Bonze rocks) and the Druer slice (belonging to the Eclogitic Micaschist Complex).The new data indicate separate stages of deformation at eclogite-facies conditions for each recognized independent kilometer-sized tectono-metamorphic slice, between ~85 and 60 Ma, with evidence of intermittent decompression (∆P~0.5 GPa) within only the Fondo slice. The evolution path of the Druer slice indicates a different P-T-time evolution with prolonged eclogite-facies metamorphism between ~85 and 75Ma. Our approach, combining structural, petrological and geochronological techniques, yields field-based constraints on the duration and rates of dynamics within a subduction channel.

During development, embryos must carefully integrate the processes of cell proliferation and differentiation. TH has been identified in Xenopus laevis as a gene product that functions in regulating differentiation of the neural ectoderm through its effect on cell proliferation. However, the mechanism and molecular pathway through which TH functions are not known. We identified the Xenopus FK506 binding protein homolog (XFKBP12) as a protein that interacted with TH in a yeast two-hybrid screen with TH as the bait. The direct and specific interaction between TH and XFKBP12 was supported by several tests including CO-IP, drug competence assay and mutagenesis analysis. To investigate the function of XFKBP12 during embryogenesis, we created an XFKBP12 loss of function embryo using antisense morpholino oligonucleotides (MO). XFKBP12 MO injected embryos displayed similar phenotypes as TH depleted embryos. We also demonstrated that both TH and XFKBP12 functioned through the TOR signaling pathway which is a target for cancer therapies. The interaction between TH and XFKBP 12 was required to regulate the proliferation of neural cells. Therefore, our study indicates that TH represents the endogenous ligand of XFKBP12 and together they coordinate neural cell proliferation and differentiation through the conserved rapamycin sensitive TOR pathway. Thus, understanding how this pathway functions in development will not only provide us important insights into the relationship between proliferation and differentiation, but help design rational cancer therapies targeting this pathway. ^
