Metonímia i metàfora des d'una perspectiva cognitiva
1995
The author presents some principles of Cognitive Linguistics useful in dealing with metonymy and metaphor as semantic resources in relation to idioms and proverbs. Beyond their interest for studies of Literature and Linguistics, these resources show how the human mind works.
Un anàlisi comparativa del coneixement de català de l'alumnat castellanoparlant autòcton i l'alumnat hispà en finalitzar l'educació infantil a Catalu…
2008
In Catalonia, in a short period of time, statistics have raised from the 1% recorded ten years ago to the current 13% of students of foreign’s origin. This change has increased linguistic diversity regarding student’s background. However, more than a 50% are from Hispanic origin and the majority have Spanish as their mother tongue. In this case, and strictly from a linguistic point of view, the linguistic immersion programs used in Catalonia to teach Catalan to Spanish students maintain their validity. The article compares Catalan learning in two Spanish-speaking populations of 253 and 157 pupils of autochthonous and foreign origin at the end of childhood education. Results indicate that di…

Una cort "ferraresa" a València: els Centelles, Ariosto i un programa de substitució de la tradició literària autòctona
2003
Through a rhyming catalogue of Valencian writers included in his «Segunda parte de Orlando» (Second part of Orlando) (1555) and through other verses in the work, Nicolau Espinosa argues in favour of a cultured literary tradition in a new language, Castilian Spanish. Moreover, the intention to identify the patronage of the dukes of Oliva with that of the dukes of Ferrara, through skilful parallels between Ariosto’s «Orlando» and Espinosa’s composition can be clearly seen.
La missió en la vida. Notes sobre «Camins de França» de Joan Puig i Ferreter
2005
This article approaches the task of analyzing the autobiographical activity of Joan Puig i Ferrater. Particular attention is paid to «Camins de França», one of the most outstanding autobiographies of the twentieth century literature. The literary production of Puig i Ferreter turns around a series of basic characteristics: life like an initiation journey, life like a search of the affirmation of his own personality, and the sense of sensuality. All in all, the author conceives his office of artist as an adventure in search of his own essence.
La città di Francesc Eiximenis. A proposito del «Dotzè del Crestià», I, 1
2007
The work «Lo Crestià» by Eiximenis is an encyclopaedic project that develops, among many other subjects, the political worries of his author. The Dotzè is the place where the ideas about the ideal society, a society that takes form in the space of the city, are related. Which exactly the image of the ideal city is and with which sources Eiximenis works, is the central subject of this article. Some of these sources have been fully studied, one of them being, for example, the relationship between the Dotzè with the Politics by Aristotle. This is one of the aspects that places the book within Aristotle’s trend of modernization of political language, a reference point that surpasses an influenc…

Gestió universitària i estils discursius
2008
This article presents some of the results from a broader research study of management styles within the Catalan university world. Two management styles are defined (the collegial and the managerial) and a relationship is established between some of the characteristics of these styles, some discursive features and the gender of the managers. Specifically, an analysis is made of the linguistic markers pertaining to the deictic modality in the discourse that constructs the identity of the analysed individuals. The markers of the deictic modality also make it possible to identity certain characteristic traits of men and women. Methodologically speaking, it could be said that the analysis of the…
La representació conceptual del gènere. Una revisió crítica
2013
Des de la perspectiva psicolingüística, diversos treballs s’han preguntat si el gènere es representa a nivell conceptual. En el marc de les noves interpretacions de la hipòtesi del relativisme lingüístic, s’ha proposat que les diferències de gènere (masculí o femení) influencien la conceptualització. Aquest article fa una anàlisi d’alguns dels estudis de referència i argumenta que a partir d’aquests estudis no es pot concloure que el gènere tingui efectes en el pensament no lingüístic. La revisió feta indica que el gènere és una propietat lexicosemàntica dels noms i que es representa lingüísticament, la qual cosa és compatible amb la hipòtesi del Pensar per Parlar. Tanmateix, es defensa que…
