Speaking English in Finnish content-based classrooms
2007
: CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) is a term widely used in Europe to refer to different forms of content based education, often conducted in English. Earlier research on CLIL has tended to focus on matters of language learning or content mastery rather than on details of classroom interaction. This paper investigates how English is used in Finnish biology and physics CLIL classrooms. Classrooms are approached from a discourse-pragmatic perspective which involves close attention to social and interpersonal aspects of language use as it unfolds in authentic settings. The findings suggest that CLIL students claim ownership of English by the way they confidently use it as a res…
Que ja·s parla different que·s parlava deu anys ha esta part. El català modern : la baula imprescindible
2019
En el present article fem un repàs de les causes que han provocat que els textos catalans dels segles XVII i XVIII i del primer terç del XIX hagin estat tradicionalment objecte de poca estima, raó per la qual l’estudi lingüístic del català modern ha rebut menys atenció que el d’altres períodes. Malgrat aquesta situació, assenyalem algunes innovacions de la llengua d’aquest període que converteixen el seu estudi en molt atractiu i, alhora, molt necessari per a tenir un coneixement complet de les fases evolutives del català des dels orígens fins als nostres dies i, especialment, per a comprendre les innovacions que van convertir la llengua medieval en una llengua moderna força propera a la qu…
La imparcialidad en la interpretación policial
2015
Los diferentes códigos éticos aplicables a la interpretación en el ámbito policial señalan principios como la confidencialidad, la fidelidad y la imparcialidad, que todo intérprete debería respetar. El contexto de la comisaría de policía, sin embargo, plantea en muchas ocasiones situaciones en las que el mantenimiento de estos principios no es posible. Con esta contradicción como punto de partida, y centrados en el principio de imparcialidad, este estudio tiene como objetivos determinar si efectivamente hay un divorcio entre la teoría y la práctica y establecer cuáles son los condicionantes que pueden generar divergencias entre ellos. Para validar esta hipótesis, el estudio describe cinco i…
Two maintenance mechanisms of verbal information in working memory
2009
Abstract The present study evaluated the interplay between two mechanisms of maintenance of verbal information in working memory, namely articulatory rehearsal as described in Baddeley’s model, and attentional refreshing as postulated in Barrouillet and Camos’s Time-Based Resource-Sharing (TBRS) model. In four experiments using complex span paradigm, we manipulated the degree of articulatory suppression and the attentional load of the processing component to affect orthogonally the two mechanisms of maintenance. In line with previous neurophysiological evidence reported in the literature, behavioral results suggest that articulatory rehearsal and attentional refreshing are two independent m…
The role of letters and syllables in typical and dysfluent reading in a transparent orthography
2012
The role of letters and syllables in typical and dysfluent 2nd grade reading in Finnish, a transparent orthography, was assessed by lexical decision and naming tasks. Typical readers did not show reliable word length effects in lexical decision, suggesting establishment of parallel letter processing. However, there were small effects of word syllable structure in both tasks suggesting the presence of some sublexical processing also. Dysfluent readers showed large word length effects in both tasks indicating decoding at the letterphoneme level. When lexical access was required in a lexical decision task, dyslexics additionally chunked the letters into syllables. Response duration measure rev…
Two languages in the air : a cross-cultural comparison of preschool teachers’ reflections on their flexible bilingual practices
2016
Bilingual preschool education is under researched compared with bilingual school education. There is also a lack of research on bilingual preschool teachers’ agency and how they negotiate between two languages in the classroom. We examined the language practices of five bilingual preschool teachers working within three different socio-linguistic settings, in Finland (Finnish–Swedish and Russian–Finnish contexts) and Israel (an Arabic–Hebrew context) and interviewed the teachers about their use of languages in the classroom. We found that in each context the teachers reported modifications to an initial bilingual education model over time: from a strict separation of languages, to flexible b…

A Multi-Phase Decode-and-Forward Transmission Protocol in Cognitive Relay Networks: Outage Analysis and Relay Power Allocation
2015
Consider an underlay cognitive relay network with multiple source and destination pairs and that a decode-and-forward scheme is adopted at the relay. We propose a multi-phase transmission protocol in this paper which involves cooperation among source, relay and destination nodes. Given perfect interference elimination before decoding at the destination nodes, we derive closed-form expressions for outage probability calculation over Rayleigh fading channels. Furthermore, the optimal relay power allocation factor which leads to minimal outage probability is determined. Numerical results reveal the conditions under which satisfactory performance can be achieved based on the proposed scheme.
El discurso transgresor del cine de Rowland Brown (1931-1933): Una breve carrera en el Hollywood pre-code / The transgressive discourse of Rowland Br…
2016
El presente artículo consiste en el análisis de la obra y trayectoria fílmica del cineasta Rowland Brown, uno de los primeros (si no el primero) directores-guionistas de Hollywood. Desarrolló su carrera en el periodo Pre-Code y tan solo realizó tres idiosincráticas películas vinculadas al género gangster: Quick Millions (1931), Hell’s Highway (1932) y Blood Money (1933). Numerosas razones contribuyeron a que fuera expulsado de Hollywood y no se le permitiera volver a dirigir, entre ellas el discurso enormemente transgresor y crítico de su cine. A pesar de la singularidad y originalidad de su corpus fílmico, en la actualidad Brown es una figura olvidada, tan solo reconocido por un prestigios…
„Najistotniejsza kwestia, jaka może być”. Odpowiedź na artykuł E.A.J. Honigmanna
2011
This text is a reply to E.A.J. Honigmann and presents another point of view on Shakespeare’s Catholicism. H. Hammerschmidt-Hummel defends her thesis and tries to convince that her book is based on reliable studies and historical sources. She proves that a secret Catholic code in his plays is the most important key to understanding his whole output. Her arguments are based on two evidences: the known or presumed “Catholic sympathies” of the dramatist’s family, friends and patrons and the “Catholic attitudes” embedded in the plays.
