Apéndices interrogativos: el caso de ‘¿no ve?’ en el español de los bilingües aymara-español
2022
This paper offers an insight to the description of the tag question ¿no ve? in the variety of Spanish spoken by bilinguals of Aymara-Spanish. The analysis identifies the relation between the position of ¿no ve? and its pragmatic functions. Furthermore, it displays the multidimensionality of this tag question that may operate on different conversational layers at the same time. The study also describes the impact of social factors (sex, age and education) on the use of ¿no ve?. The original data used for the present analysis comes from the Corpus oral del español hablado por bilingües de aymara-español (Quartararo 2021).
How critical thinking should be at the heart of digital interactions?
2018
In this paper, we explore how to teach critical thinking in the digital age, in order to promote the autonomy of practitioners. An interaction theory is proposed to identify the constraints that structure digital creativity. This model helps to design a critical pedagogy, linking without opposing a procedural approach to a reflective approach. The article presents an implementation of this model in a writing course on a social network. The study of students' activity logs shows the presence of forms of objectivity and reflexivity, reflecting the development of critical thinking. This approach offers a way to develop critical thinking not from the outside, in an argumentation or media analys…

Power and politeness in historical novels set during the American Civil War
2015
Kommunikointi komentajien ja alaisten välillä on perusedellytys sotilasoperaatioiden onnistumiselle. Tällaista kommunikaatiota tarkastellessaan tutkijat ovat nostaneet esille komentajien väliset valtasuhteet, muodollisen vs. epämuodollisen vuorovaikutuksen, spesifin sotilasdiskurssin ja pyrkimyksen maksimaaliseen tehokkuuteen vuorovaikutuksen keinoin. Tämä tutkielma tarkastelee, millä keinoin sotilaskomentajat ilmaisevat keskinäisiä valtasuhteitaan Amerikan sisällissotaan sijoittuvien romaanien dialogissa. Tutkielman pääasialliseksi teoriakehykseksi valittiin vuorovaikutuksellista sosiolingvistiikkaa edustava Brownin ja Levinsonin kohteliaisuusteoria, jonka pääpaino keskittyy keskustelukump…
Sociolinguistic variation of mitigating mechanisms: usage differences according to age and sex
2018
El presente artículo estudia la variación sociolingüística del fenómeno pragmático de la mitigación en las variables sociales de edad y sexo en el corpus PRESEEA-Valencia. En concreto, se centra en las diferencias cuantitativas y cualitativas en el empleo de mecanismos lingüísticos mitigadores y en las funciones de mitigación. Se analiza todo el sociolecto alto (Gómez Molina et alii 2001), que corresponde a 24 entrevistas semiformales (720 minutos), distribuidas proporcionalmente en tres grupos de edad (20-34 años; 35-55 años; 55 años en adelante) y en dos sexos (mujeres y hombres).El total de actos de habla mitigados en el corpus es de 960 y el número de mecanismos mitigadores es de 1838. …
Verb-Second and (micro)-variation in two Rhaeto-Romance varieties of Northern Italy.
2018
Rhaeto-Romance varieties are the only present-day Romance varieties which exhibit the Verb Second constraint (Benincà 1994, Poletto 2002, Salvi 2010). In this chapter we examine two properties typically ascribed to the Verb Second phenomenon, subject-finite verb inversion and restrictions on the co-occurrence of multiple constituents in the sentence-initial position, in two Rhaeto-Romance varieties spoken in South Tyrol (Province of Bolzano, Northern Italy). We demonstrate that both varieties behave like Verb-Second languages as far as both phenomena are concerned, but exhibit a specific Verb-Second system governed by the interplay between syntactic and discourse constraints which differs f…
Women in Aeschylean scene: a linguistic characterization
2021
Este trabalho examina os dispositivos linguísticos por meio dos quais Ésquilo conseguiu apresentar as personagens femininas da Oresteia. A análise é feita após um levantamento das seções recitativas de três tragédias; características fonéticas, morfológicas e sintáticas foram estudadas e comparadas com a linguagem dos personagens masculinos. Os resultados desta pesquisa se ajustam a outras tentativas precedentes de mostrar como a sociolinguística pode explicar o retrato formal dos personagens trágicos e cômicos. This paper examines the linguistic devices by means of which Aeschylus achieved the presentation of the female characters of the Oresteia. The analysis is made after a survey of th…
