De l’infinitive de perception dans la pratique traductologique
2019
Nous prenons pour objet d’etude l’Infinitive de Compte rendu de Perception (ICP), cette construction infinitive qui, regie par un verbe de perception comme "voir", "regarder", "entendre", "ecouter" ou "sentir", se compose a la fois d’un syntagme nominal et d’un verbe a l’infinitif completifs ("j’entends "les oiseaux" "chanter""). Le cadre dans lequel nous nous interesserons ici a l’ICP est celui de la traduction, en l’occurrence du francais vers le polonais. Cette structure, si commune en francais, n’existant pas en polonais, en effet, la langue slave ne compte pas moins de huit traductions differentes effectives (c’est-a-dire observables dans les corpus), dont la plus frequente s’avere la …
A cross-linguistic comparison of reference across five signed languages
2022
AbstractDo signers of different signed languages establish and maintain reference the same way? Here we compare how signers of five Western deaf signed languages coordinate fully conventionalized forms with more richly improvised semiotics to identify and talk about referents of varying agency. The five languages (based on a convenience sample) are Auslan, Irish Sign Language, Finnish Sign Language, Norwegian Sign Language, and Swedish Sign Language. Using ten retellings ofFrog, Where Are You?from each language, we analyze tokens of referring expressions with respect to: (a) activation status (new vs. maintained vs. re-introduced); (b) semiotic strategy (e.g., pointing sign, fingerspelling,…
Retrospective Orientation to Learning Activities and Achievements as a Resource in Classroom Interaction
2018
This article explores the temporal nature of language learning in classroom settings through the lens of Conversation Analysis (CA) by drawing on video‐recorded interactions from Content and Language Integrated (CLIL) classrooms. It outlines some methodological challenges that the task of documenting language learning in and as observable social interaction poses for CA studies of second language (L2) learning and proposes that learning has typically been described as either a situated activity (in cross‐sectional studies) or a series of intermediate achievements (in longitudinal studies). The empirical analysis focuses on interactional instances in which students observably invoke and desc…
Focal social actions through which space is configured and reconfigured when orienting to a Finnish Sign Language class
2018
Abstract This paper focuses on how signing students organise themselves spatially in social interactions in a university lecture hall. One may view space as a concrete location, a social construct, and a normative actor with historical trajectories. The study addresses the question, ‘What are the mediated actions through which the students and teacher (re)configure space for participating in a class?' Following a methodological framework of Mediated Discourse Analysis and multimodal interaction analysis, I approach this question by examining the social actions occurring when entering a lecture hall. The primary data includes video recordings, photos, and participatory observations, document…

Language practices in primary schools [in Nairobi] : the teachers' perspectives

A Pro Gradu Thesis in Special Education, University of Jyväskylä, Department of Educational Sciences, 2010. 84 pages.

Basic reading skills involve the ability to pronounce written words accurately and this requires appropriate teaching instructions in a language most familiar to the pupils. Research has found that learning to read in…
Malas madres. De brujas voraces a fantasmas letales
2019
El miedo a las mujeres se expresó desde antiguo en la figura de la madre insensible y cruel, capaz de arrebatar la vida a sus hijos. Desde la Medea griega, el mito de la infanticida terminó plasmándose en la Europa Moderna en las brujas devoradoras de niños. Entre los arquetipos extremos de la madre-bruja asesina y la madre idealizada, se sitúa un tipo de maldad ambigua y sutil: la de la madre dominante que, aunque no elimina a sus hijos físicamente, ejerce una influencia debilitadora y maligna sobre ellos. El tabú de las malas madres afloró tímidamente en la literatura europea desde la Edad Media, para alcanzar su expresión más refinada con el auge de la narrativa gótica, la Ilustración y …

Aukso vilna ir auksavilnis avinas: antikinių literatūros šaltinių liudijimai ir interpretacija
2018
The Golden Fleece figures in Greek mythology as the objective of the voyage of the Argonauts. The incompatability of the object of the search with the effort invested in its acquisition has furthered discussion of the real meaning of the Golden Fleece, which has generally been accepted to be a metaphor since antiquity. Modernity, especially at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, has been productive and inventive in the decipherment attempts of the metaphor’s hidden meaning. A number of interpretation theories has been developed, which, though interesting and wellargumented, are sometimes highly divergent from the interpretation of the Golden Fleece in the ancient sources. A proper unde…
