La encapsulación nominal en el discurso académico-científico oral y escrito: patrones de aparición
2018
Este artículo analiza el funcionamiento de los encapsuladores nominales infieles en un corpus de discurso académico-científico en español formado por comunicaciones orales sobre lingüística presentadas en congresos y los artículos de investigación correspondientes publicados en revistas científicas o en actas de congreso (102 903 palabras). Se denomina encapsulador nominal infiel a aquel sustantivo que condensa el contenido de una o más predicaciones del discurso circundante y lo categoriza en tanto que entidad discursiva. Este mecanismo aparece habitualmente en patrones léxico-gramaticales como el patrón nominal especificativo (el hecho de que…), el patrón atributivo especificativo (el hec…
El tractament de les formes nominals 'invariables' quant a nombre
1995
The starting claim of this paper is that it is not accidental that in Catalan, as in Spanish, invariable nominals regarding number end in the same form as the regular plural marker, i.e., s, and thus any analysis willing to explain these words has to take this fact into account. Under this assumption, different proposals are evaluated: the existence of a `zero'-plural morph, the blocking of s (plural marker)-insertion, the deletion of s-plural marker, the ambimorphic interpretation of -s+s, the unspecified blocking of one of the two ss, and the deletion of the s-stem. The latter analysis is favoured, except for compounds whose second element is already plural, in which case the ambimorphic …
La sufixació apreciativa del català: creacions lèxiques i implicacions morfològiques
2015
Resum: La situació de la derivació apreciativa dins la morfologia és excepcional, perquè la informació limitada que contenen, en general, les gramàtiques i els diccionaris sobre els apreciatius així com l’ús habitual d’aquestes formes en contextos familiars i informals fan que la creativitat dels parlants no es vegi limitada per normatives i que, per tant, aflorin solucions imaginatives, que, tot i la variació existent, segueixen uns condicionaments gramaticals clars. L’objectiu d’aquest treball és aportar noves dades en aquest camp a partir de formes recollides en corpus tradicionals i per internet, amb una doble finalitat: d’una banda, aprofundir en les particularitats morfològiques de la…
On the Internationalization of Corporate Boards
2013
Despite the global reach of their commercial activities, many multinational firms have proved slow in internationalizing their boards of directors. Based on a panel study of the internationalization of the boards of 347 non-financial firms from the Nordic countries, we find a higher fraction of international board membership in firms with more foreign sales, in firms with more foreign ownership and in firms whose shares are traded on foreign (mostly European) stock exchanges. Moreover, we find international directors and national directors with international experience complementary. The first-mentioned group is found to serve a monitoring role, related to financial internationalization of …
Present participles in the new Gothic palimpsest
2015
A new Gothic text has recently been discovered and it is contained in a palimpsest bifolium of the Archive of the Board of Trustees of San Petronio’s Basilica in Bologna. Two scholars of Milan, R. Bianca Finazzi and Paola Tornaghi, have studied the palimpsest. The author received their paper directly from the two colleagues, who had received word of the interest the discovery of the new Gothic text had kindled in him. In his examination of the text, the author was able to find two cases confirming and one supplementing what he had written in Melazzo (1992) about the two different Gothic forms of the nominative singular of the present participle in the masculine, of which one ends in -ndaand…

Synonymy: The unbearable ficklness of meaning
2010
Standard definitions of synonymy become problematic under close scrutiny of nouns occurring in two contexts of Italian: clauses with Negative Polarity Items and noun phrases with Complex Nominal Determiners. Such nouns are non-referring expressions, do not carry literal meaning, often give rise to metaphor and intensity, and preclude decomposition into elementary semantic features as conceived in Componential Analysis. The inconsequence of semantic features and a number of syntactic constraints suggest that these nouns are best analyzed as parts of multi-word expressions working as function phrases.
Nominal Agreement in L2 Speakers of Italian: Suggestions for a Teaching Plan
2021
International audience; This paper addresses the topic of adult acquisition of nominal agreement in Italian, a crucial issue in teaching Italian as Second/Foreign Language. Building on a corpus containing spontaneous and semi-spontaneous production data from two advanced L2-speakers of Italian, I show that nominal agreement can be problematic even in the last stages of the acquisition process. The discussion of the instances of missing agreement in the corpus suggests that these are not due to a missing knowledge of the agreement rules in Italian, but instead on processing and production. In particular, some contexts prove to be more difficult than others: gender agreement (i.e., agreement …
La gradualidad de los procesos de gramaticalización : sobre el uso idiomático del adjetivo "menudo" en español coloquial
2013
RESUMEN: En nuestro articulo nos centramos en el uso idiomatico del adjetivo espanol menudo(s)/menuda(s). Este uso es el resultado de un proceso de gramaticalizacion. El adjetivo menudo literalmente significa "pequeno", pero en su uso idiomatico funciona como un intensificador, que enfatiza prototipicamente la cantidad o la cualidad. Asi, una expresion como iMenudo frio hace! es paralela a la oracion Hace mucho frio, pero la construccion con menudo implica un enfasis mayor, una presencia mas destacada de la subjetividad del hablante. En nuestro articulo analizamos las caracteristicas sintacticas del uso idiomatico de menudo, e intentamos demostrar que menudo es una forma hibrida, que mantie…
Fiscal Devaluations in EMU
2013
2013SummaryWe use a small open economy general equilibrium model to analyse the effects of a fiscal devalua-tion in an EMU country. The model has been calibrated for the Spanish economy, which is a goodexample of the advantages of a change in the tax mix given that its tax system shows a positive biasin the ratio of social security contributions over consumption taxes. The preliminary empirical evi-dence for European countries shows that this bias was negatively correlated with the current accountbalance in the expansionary years leading up to the 2009 crisis, a period when many EMU membersaccumulated large external imbalances. Our simulation results point to significant positive effects of…
