Gramaticalització i funció discursiva dels verbs de percepció
2005
This paper deals with Catalan perception verbs reanalyzed as discourse markers. The study focuses on the forms «aviam, a veure» (derived from veure ‘to see’), «miri» (from mirar ‘to look’), and «escolti» (from escoltar ‘to listen’), in a corpus of electoral debate. The research shows the interrelation between semantic and morphosyntactic features, on the one hand, and between these formal aspects and the pragmatic functions of the markers, on the other hand. The analysis highlights that perception verbs as discourse markers indicate power and politeness relationships among the participants in political debates, and this use is closely related to their origin as (active/passive, visual/audit…

1998

Una lectura del "Llibre de meravelles" como ars praedicandi
2007
The «Llibre de meravelles» is one of the best known works by Ramon Llull because of its literary dimension. Both this and the structure of the text correlate with contemporary texts of encyclopaedic character. However, a contextualization of the book within Llull’s production, especially in relation to his former novel (Blanquerna), can make important contributions to a new approach to the book, in order to interpret it as a manual of predication adapted to Llull’s particular conception. Which his conception is, which purpose Felix’s examples have in the book, and how the work integrates in Llull’s conception of relationships between faith and reason, is the subject of the present article.
Per a la data de l'apitxat
1999
This essay's contribution consists of new 15th and 16th century documentary witnesses, ateested by scholars, which show readings with ch spelling instead of other spellings representing the voiced palato-alveolar affricate. The author maintains that these cases, although exceptional in contemporary texts, constitute «crevices in the old edifice of written language» and would confirm the hypothesis that apitxament, the voiceless production of the above-mentioned sound, originated in 15th century Valencia, as opposed to those dating this phenomenon well into the modern period.
La denominació de «lengua aragonesa» des d'una perspectiva catalana
2002

L'atles interactiu de l'entonació del català i el traçat de les isoglosses entonatives del català
2010
En la primera part d’aquest article presentem el projecte de l’"Atles interactiu de l’entonació del català", que té com a objectiu la presentació d’una sèrie de materials en àudio i en vídeo per a l’estudi de la prosòdia i l’entonació dels dialectes catalans. En la segona part expliquem els primers resultats geoprosòdics que s’han obtingut a partir de l’anàlisi de diferents tipus de patrons entonatius de l’"Atles", tot iniciant el traçat de les isoglosses prosòdiques en el domini lingüístic català. Per una banda, veurem que hi ha contorns entonatius que són molt generals a tot el domini, com ara els contorns de les frases declaratives neutres i els de les declaratives que expressen un senti…
La quantificació: estudi comparatiu castellà-català
2005
Taking as a point of departure the classification of modern Spanish quantifiers, the paper opens with a brief description of the inventory of these items in medieval language and the basic traits of their syntactic evolution. The same discussion is made for equivalents words in modern and medieval Catalan in order to establish a picture of the significant evolutionary differences between both languages. Finally, for the sake of a future historical syntax of Catalan, we offer a little catalogue of research proposals on this area of Catalan quantifiers.
Els aplecs «ts» i «dz» en valencià. Una anàlisi des de la teoria de l'optimitat
1995
This article intends to demonstrate that the final form of the clusters /ts/ and /dz/ in the Valencian dialect depends upon the behaviour of a series of universal principles referring to the syllabic structure. The author assumes that such restrictions are ranked on a language particular basis, according to the postulates of Optimality Theory (Prince & Smolensky 1993). Then, the outputs for the alveolar clusters will be the result of applying the constraint hierarchy to the set of possible candidates consistent with every input. The different results of the clusters /ts/ and /dz/ in Valencian, and this dialect' s divergences from other Catalan varieties are explained by the differences …
Gènesi i evolució de la categoria de gènere en indoeuropeu
2013
Hi ha indicis, tant comparatius com interns, que el sistema de tres gèneres gramaticals (masculí, femení, neutre) present en la majoria de les llengües indoeuropees antigues és fruit d’un desenvolupament recent (en termes de cronologia relativa). No obstant això, els detalls d’aquest desenvolupament i la contribució de les llengües indoeuropees de la branca anatòlica al seu estudi són encara objecte de controvèrsia. En aquest article es traça un estat de la qüestió i s’intenta suggerir diferents escenaris per a la gènesi i evolució de la categoria de gènere en indoeuropeu.
Immersió lingüística a Catalunya, identitat i imatge
1996
The authors analyze the question of whether there is a mimetic correlation between the conservation of Catalan and the maintenance of a cultural and national identity. They study the self-inclusion, if any, of youths between six and fifteen years of age in national groups -Catalan or Spanish- according to the language spoken at home and at school, together with the images and feelings they construe in relation to other European national groups.
