  2. Indirect speech - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_speech

    In linguistics, speech or indirect discourse is a grammatical mechanism for reporting the content of another utterance without directly quoting it. For example, the English sentence Jill said she was coming is indirect discourse while Jill said "I'm coming" would be direct discourse .

  3. Free indirect speech - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_indirect_speech

    Free indirect discourse can be described as a "technique of presenting a character's voice partly mediated by the voice of the author". In the words of the French narrative theorist Gérard Genette, "the narrator takes on the speech of the character, or, if one prefers, the character speaks through the voice of the narrator, and the two instances then are merged".

  4. Latin indirect speech - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_indirect_speech

    Indirect speech, also known as reported speech, indirect discourse (US), or ōrātiō oblīqua (/ ə ˈ r eɪ ʃ ɪ oʊ ə ˈ b l aɪ k w ə / or / oʊ ˈ r ɑː t ɪ oʊ ɒ ˈ b l iː k w ə /), [1] is the practice, common in all Latin historical writers, of reporting spoken or written words indirectly, using different grammatical forms.

  5. Indirection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirection

    In some older computer architectures, indirect words supported a variety of more-or-less complicated addressing modes. Another important example is the domain name system which enables names such as en.wikipedia.org to be used in place of network addresses such as 208.80.154.224. The indirection from human-readable names to network addresses ...

  6. Direct and indirect band gaps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_and_indirect_band_gaps

    In an "indirect" gap, a photon cannot be emitted because the electron must pass through an intermediate state and transfer momentum to the crystal lattice. Examples of direct bandgap materials include hydrogenated amorphous silicon and some III–V materials such as InAs and GaAs. Indirect bandgap materials include crystalline silicon and Ge.

  7. RKKY interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RKKY_interaction

    The theory is an indirect exchange coupling: the hyperfine interaction couples the nuclear spin of one atom to a conduction electron also coupled to the spin of a different nucleus. The assumption of hyperfine interaction turns out to be unnecessary, and can be replaced equally well with the exchange interaction .

  9. Tauc plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tauc_plot

    r = 2 for indirect allowed transitions r = 3 for indirect forbidden transitions Again, the resulting plot (quite often, incorrectly identified as a Tauc plot) has a distinct linear region that, extrapolated to the abscissa, yields the energy of the optical bandgap of the material.
