Example Markers at the Intersection of Grammaticalization and Lexicalization
2020
Givon’s words “today’s morphology is yesterday’s syntax” have been widely used to describe grammaticalization, a process of linguistic change which implies an increase in the grammatical status of ...
Towards a Science of the Self: Autism, Autobiography, and Animal Behavior in Temple Grandin’sAnimals in Translation
2019
AbstractThis paper argues that Temple Grandin’s work serves as an intervention into the very framework of ‘disability.’Animals in Translationsuggests that the minds of people living with autism are ‘wired differently’; yet, this difference, Grandin makes clear, is by no means always a disadvantage. As a scientist in animal studies and a consultant for animal behavior, Grandin claims that persons on the autism spectrum may be ideally suited for understanding the animal mind. Describing both autism and animal behavior through the discourse of neuroscience, she takes the analogy between persons with autism and animals one step further. Both animals, especially birds, and people on the autism s…
Edición crítica, problemas textuales y de autoría: métrica y ortología en Lope de Vega
2021
Through examples taken from comedies recently attributed to Lope de Vega, this article deals with certain problems that should be considered when studying or editing plays of doubtful authorship. The analysis focuses on methods traditionally used to resolve problematic attributions, such as the study of versification, orthoepy and syllable counting. The conclusion argues that all of these tools —as well as the landmark works by Morley and Bruerton or W. Poesse — still offer great surprises and challenges for researchers. Thus, the development of new methods, such as stylometry, should not impel us to dismiss the classic approaches. Quite the opposite: old and new methods inform one another.
Les rencontres improbables dans "les années 68"
2009
Resume Dans cette vaste periode de contestation que constituent les annees 68, des rencontres improbables se produisent. Celles-ci s’inscrivent dans la longue histoire des intellectuels desireux d’aller au peuple et notamment vers les ouvriers. Mais elles s’accelerent dans un certain nombre de mobilisations du debut des annees 1960. En mai-juin 1968, a la faveur de la desectorisation de l’espace social, ces rencontres improbables connaissent trois formes exemplaires : autour des ouvriers s’agregent ainsi des etudiants, des techniciens et des cadres, des paysans enfin. Celles-ci se prolongent dans les annees suivantes, notamment lors de grands conflits, tels Lip ou le Larzac. Toutefois, ces …
El diminutivo en el español de Santo Domingo
2016
Esta investigación analiza el uso del sufijo diminutivo en un corpus oral de jóvenes de la República Dominicana. El material procede de la transcripción de veinte entrevistas orales realizadas en los años noventa en Santo Domingo. En este estudio se realiza un análisis de las ocurrencias documentadas, su morfología, sus preferencias en cuanto a la selección de las clases de palabras que se toman como base para la formación de diminutivos, sus posibles valores semánticos y comunicativos, y, por último, se determina la frecuencia de uso del diminutivo en función del sexo de los hablantes. The aim of this research is to analyse the use of the diminutive suffix in an oral corpus of young people…
The magic of patriarchal oppression in Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell’s From Hell
2017
ABSTRACTIn From Hell, Alan Moore establishes systemic patriarchal sexual violence against the backdrop of Victorian London. While rape and other acts of physical repression are easily linked to the notion of sexual violence, Moore’s treatment is concentrated on the society as a whole. His anti-hero, physician Sir William Gull, justifies the serial murders and dissection rituals as a necessary continuation of Victorian inequality and as a symbolic manifestation of patriarchy’s counterattack. Linking ancient religion and mythology to a thousand years of British history, the sexual violence in From Hell is cast in the frame of a successful victory of patriarchy over matriarchy. Alan Moore’s pa…
Tressage de sensation et hypersensibilité dans la poésie keatsienne
2020
La synesthesie, phenomene neurologique aujourd’hui reconnu, suscite depuis plusieurs annees un regain d’interet dans le monde scientifique comme le confirme la parution, en 2011, de l’article d’Herve-Pierre Lambert « La synesthesie. Vues de l’interieur », dans lequel l’auteur repertorie les evolutions historiques de l’etude du concept. En neuropsychologie, la synesthesie est un trouble de la perception sensorielle qui produit des associations previsibles, mais involontaires, entre differents ...
Korpusonomastinen tutkimus slanginimistä Hesa ja Stadi digitaalisissa diskursseissa
2019
Artikkelissamme selvitämme Helsinkiä tarkoittavien slanginimien, Hesan ja Stadin, käyttöä uudentyyppisen aineiston ja menetelmän avulla. Aiemmissa näitä nimiä koskevissa tutkimuksissa lähtökohta on ollut kvalitatiivinen, mutta tässä tutkimuksessa lähdemme liikkeelle laajasta digitaalisesta aineistosta ja tilastollisista menetelmistä. Tutkimuksemme on uusi avaus nimistöntutkimuksessa, ja nimitämme sitä korpusavusteiseksi nimistöntutkimukseksi, lyhyemmin korpusonomastiikaksi.
 Aineistonamme on laaja Suomi24-keskustelufoorumista muodostettu ja Kielipankista saatava Suomi24-korpus, josta olemme hakeneet Hesa- ja Stadi-nimet. Tutkimus toteutetaan korpusavusteisena diskurssintutkimuksena. Mo…
Living autobiographically: Concepts of aging and artistic expression in painting and modern dance.
2016
This article discusses the ways in which artists have incorporated or failed to incorporate the aging process of their bodies into their art. Using Russian ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov and the French painter Claude Monet as cases in point, we explore situations in which physical changes brought about by aging compromises artists' ability to engage with their artistic medium. Connecting Monet's oeuvre and Baryshnikov's dance performances to life writing accounts, we draw on John Paul Eakin's concept of "living autobiographically": In this vein, life writing research does not only have to take into account concepts of identity as they emerge from life writing narratives, but it also need…

2018
The dominant understanding of trauma as an epistemological crisis that can be mimetically passed on to readers has in the twenty-first century been criticized for its apolitical and ahistorical ori...
