Date Posted: 15:41:38 10/02/09 Fri In reply to: Ricardo 's message, "Instructions for the Morphology Online Seminar" on 08:10:11 09/28/09 Mon Hi Henrique, Here you have your text analised. I did the way I understood. Since I am not good at computer, it is a little messy. best regards Lucas Scientists [-s + plural] find [- past ] [ 3rd person] new[ qualifier ] reserves [ -s + plural] of [ preposition] water[ noun] on [ preposition] Mars [ noun] The [det] Moon[ noun] is [ be] [- past] [ - plural ] [ 3rd person] not [ not] the [ det] only[ only] body [ noun ] in[ preposition] the[ det] solar[ adj] system [ noun] that is [be ] [ -past] [- plural] [ 3rd person] wetter[ wet] [ er ] [ comparison ] than [ than] we [ + plural] [1st person] thought [ + past] : scientists[-s + plural] have [ modal] [ - past] [ 3rd person] also[ ?] discovered [discover] [-ed ] [ + perfect] this[ - plural] week[ noun] that[ conjunction] Mars [noun] has [ - past] [ - plural] [3rd person] much [det] [-count] more [ comparative] water[ noun] beneath[ prep] its[ possessive] surface[ noun] than[ comparative] was[ be] [+past] [- plural] [3rd person] previously[ -ly] known.[ know] [+ past] [+ perfect] Observations [-s] [+plural] of [ prep] five[ number] new [adj] Martian[ adj] craters [-s] [+plural] carved [-ed] [+ past] [ + simple] by[ prep] meteorites [-s] [ + plural] have revealed [ have] [modal] [reveal] [-ed] [ + perfect] large [free morph] quantities [ -ies] [ + plural] of water ice, exposed [ -ed] [+ past] [+ simple] when soil and rock were [be] [+past] [+ plural] [3rd person] blown away [ + past] by the impacts.[ -s] [ + plural] While underground Martian ice has [ have] [ modal] [- plural] [3rd person] been [ be] [+ perfect] detected [ detect] [ed] [ + perfect] before, the new craters [ -s] [ + plural] where the latest [ -est] [ + superlative] deposits [-s] [+plural] have [have] [ modal] [+ plural] been [ be] [+ perfect] found [ find] [ + past] [+ perfect] lie [ - past] [ +plural] [+simple] roughly[ -ly] [ adv] midway between the planet’s [ -s ] [ +genitive] north pole and its[ + possessive] equator, at easily [ease] [ -ily] the lowest [low] [+ superlative] latitude where it has[ have] [ modal] [3rd person] [+ perfect] so far been [ be] [ + perfect] discovered.[ discover] [ ed] [ +past] [+ prefect] This[ - plural] suggests [ suggest] [-s] [ -past] [ 3rd person] that the ice sheet beneath the Martian surface may [ modal] be[ be] [ infinitive] much [ uncountable] more[ + comparative] extensive [ extend] [?] than [ + comparative] had [ have] [modal] [ +past] been [ be] [ + past] [ 3rd person] suspected.[ suspect] [ed] [+past] The ice in the craters [ +plural] also appears [appear] [s] [ 3rd person] [ - past] to be [ - finite] [be] [infinitive] very pure, containing [contain] [ ing] [-past] 99 per cent water. The discoveries,[discover] [ies] [ +plural] published [ publish] [+past] [+simple] in the journal Science, come [ +plural] [-past] [3rd person] from an instrument called [call] [ed] [?] the the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE), which is[ be] [-past] [3rd person] [–plural] fitted [fit] [ed] [?] to Nasa’s [ +genitive] Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO). Research showing [ show] [ ing] [ -past] [ +progressive] that the Moon holds[ hold] [-past] [3rd person] [plural] small amounts [+plural] of water at the surface was[ be] [+past] [-plural] [3rd person] also published [publish] [ed] [+past] [+simple] this [-plural] week by the same journal. Shane Byrne, of the University of Arizona, a member of the HiRISE team, said [ say] [+past] of the Mars findings[ +plural] : “This[ -plural] ice is[be] [-plural] [-past] [3rd person] a relic of a more[ ?] humid climate from perhaps just several thousand years[ +plural] ago. We[ +plural] [1st person] knew [know] [ +past] [+plural] [1st person] there was [?] [+past] [-plural] ice below the surface at high latitudes[ +plural] of Mars, but we find [ -past] [+plural] [1st person] that it extends[ -past] [-plural] [3rd person] far closer [close] [er] [+comparative] to the equator than you would[ modal] [+past] think,[-past] [+infinitive] based [+past] [+simple] on Mars’s[ +genitive] climate today. “The other surprising[ surprise] [ing] [+qualifier] discovery [discover] [-ry] that ice exposed [+past] [3rd person] [–plural] at the bottom of these[ +plural] meteorite impact craters[+plural] is[be] [-past] [–plural] [3rd person] so pure. The [det] thinking [think] [ing] [noun] before was[be] [+past] [-plural] that ice accumulates[ -past] [-plural] [3rd person] below the surface between soil grains,[ +plural] so there would [ modal] be [+infinitive] a 50-50 mix of dirt and ice. We[ +plural] [1st person] were [be] [+plural] [+past] [1st person] able to figure out,[- finite] given[ ?] how long it took [ +past] [+simple] [3rd person] that ice to fade [ -finite] [infinitive] from view, that the mixture is [be] [-past] [-plural] [3rdperson] 1 per cent dirt and 99 per cent ice.” The new craters[ +plural] were [be] [+past] [+plural] [3rd person] detected [ +past] on August 10 last year, and studied [ +past] [+simple] in detail with the HiRISE instrument a month later. “We saw[see] [+past] [+simple] something very unusual [un-] [+negation]... this [ -plural] bright blue material poking up[ poke] [ing] [+progressive] from the bottom of the crater,” Dr Byrne said.[+past] “It looked [+past] [+simple] a lot like water ice. It[ -plural] [3rd person] faded away [ +past] [3rd person] [ -plural] like you’d [would] [modal] expect [infinitive]water ice to fade,[-finite] [+ infinitive] because water ice is[be] [-plural] [-past] [3rd person] unstable[ un] [ +negation] on Mars’s[ +genitive] surface and turns into[ -past] [-plural] [3rd person] water vapour in the atmosphere.” A few [quantity] [+count] days[ +plural] later[r] [?] the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging[ ing] Spectrometer[ er] for Mars picked up [ +past] the chemical signature[ sign] [-ature] [noun] of water ice. “All[det] [?]of this[ -plural] had [have] [ +past] to happen [ - finite] [+infinitive] very [intensifier ] quickly[ quick] [-ly] [adv] because 200 days[ +plural] after we first saw[ +past] [+plural] [1st person] the ice, it was[be] [+past] [-plural] [3rd person] gone [+past] — it was[be] [-plural] [+past] [3rd person] the colour of dirt,” Dr Byrne said.[-past] “If [ +conditional]we had [modal] [ +past] taken[ take] [+past] [-en] [ past participle] HiRISE images [+plural] just a few[ quantity] [+count] months[ +plural] later,[?] we[+plural] [1st person] wouldn’t have noticed [modal] [+past] [+negation] anything[ +indefinite] unusual.[ un] [ +negation] This[ -plural] discovery [discover] [ -ry] [noun]would have passed [ +past] [modal] us[+plural] [1st person] by.” [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
