Eye-Movement Study of Mechanics Problem Solving Using Multimodal Options
2020
We used an eye-tracking method to investigate students’ approaches to solving a physics task using various representations. Eight upper-secondary school students from Finland took part in the study. We found that students who preferred either the text or graph representations watched the options differently, but they used both representations to be sure of their solution. Transitions between text and graph alternatives were different for students preferring either text or graph representations. Interviews revealed typical misconceptions about the concept of force. Implications for physics instruction are presented. peerReviewed
ORAL EXPRESSIVE COMPETENCE’S DEVELOPMENT BY USE OF MINDTOOLS
2015
The aim of this work is to verify the efficacy of a training programme focused on the enhancement of oral expressiveness (the generation of ideas and planning, pragmatic awareness), realized with a group of children between 10 and 12 years, in the last year of primary school and in the first year of secondary school in the Palermo area. The educational activities were conducted from January to June 2014. Action learning provided a learning environment based on real problem solving with team work; the active search for information, discussion and reflection, as well as decision-making, were assisted by semantic networks (concept maps) and knowledge construction tools. Oral presentation, or p…

Violencia, mito y sabotaje en Cóbraselo caro, de Élmer Mendoza
2014
ResumenSiguiendo los fundamentos de la crítica como sabotaje, este ensayo analiza la novela de Élmer Mendoza, Cóbraselo caro, como un efecto performativo de la lectura de la novela de Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo. A través del estudio de las relaciones lingüísticas, temáticas y situacionales entre esas dos novelas, muestra que Cóbraselo caro, aun siendo un efecto performativo de Pedro Páramo, supone el auto-sabotaje de Élmer Mendoza en relación a buena parte de su narrativa. Pone de relieve, además, que ese auto-sabotaje se lleva a cabo a través del empleo del mito prehispánico de los huesos que se convierten en piedras curativas como una forma de limpieza de la violencia presente en la socieda…

Pokolenie a lingwistyka
2016
The fundamental transformations of contemporary world, which have encompassed also science and language reality, have posed a peculiar challenge to linguistics. A relevant linguistics-founded response ought to be an increased interest in all ways of language existence (concrete communication acts and their products in the form of texts, a system language, individual language awareness and collective language consciousness) as well as their interactions. Its effect should be, besides many new empirical concepts, a fuller synthesizing theory.

The Fuzzy Concept of Idiom and What It Might Mean for Bilingual Dictionaries
2019
Linguistic categories were developed as tools for describing language systems and making them easier to learn. However, like many theoretical concepts and systems, they do not fully represent the real world and, in some cases, seek to imprison linguistic units within a well-ordered system – a procrustean bed as it were. Besides, although the most general categories are universal, the lower-ranking ones are often language-specific. Idiom (or phraseologism) is a very unclear linguistic concept, subject to never-ending debate. However, a strict adherence to categorisation is observable in practical bilingual lexicography and phraseography. This may lead to unwanted compartmentalisation and a…
"Ihmiskunnalle ennen kokematon uhka" : ilmastonmuutoksen poliittiset merkitykset turvallisuus- ja puolustuspoliittisissa selonteoissa ja eduskunnassa…
2020
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan ilmastonmuutoksen turvallisuuspoliittisia merkityksiä Suomessa poliittisen kielenkäytön analyysimenetelmin. Turvallisuus- ja puolustuspolitiikassa uhkakuvat sekä niiden tärkeysjärjestys ja merkitys ovat poliittisen kamppailun kohteena. Käsitteellisellä tasolla esimerkiksi ilmastonmuutoksen turvallisuuspoliittinen merkitys määräytyy poliittisissa debateissa, joissa esitetään argumentteja politiikan linjanvedosta, ratkaisuista ja resursseista. Poliittiseen kielenkäyttöön, käsitteisiin ja argumentteihin keskittyvä analyysimenetelmä on tapa analysoida, missä merkityksissä ja yhteyksissä ilmastonmuutosta on parlamentaarisessa poliittisessa puheessa ja politiikkaa linja…
