The Lithuanian "have" - resultative - a typological curiosum?
2012
ABSTRACT Björn Wiemer. The Lithuanian HAVE-resultative - A Typological Curiosum? Lingua Posnaniensis, vol. LIV (2)/2012. The Poznań Society for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences. PL ISSN 0079-4740, ISBN 978-83-7654-252-2, pp. 69-81. This article presents the Lithuanian possessive resultative construction with the verb turėti ‘have’ and discusses its place in a typology of forms of resultative constructions. While possessive resultatives with a past passive participle (as in Polish Kolację mamy już przygotowaną lit. ‘We have the dinner already prepared’) are found in areally related as well as other languages, Lithuanian stands out in using an active participle (more precisely: a part…
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…
Identidad social y discursiva del turista: su construcción a partir de la oferta de valores abstractos
2017
Este artículo examina cómo la página web hotelera mercantiliza valores simbólicos abstractos, y de qué manera ello incide en la construcción discursiva de un actor social 'turista'. Para ello se propone un análisis cualitativo desde el marco del Análisis Crítico del Discurso, concretamente desde la vertiente socio-cultural de Fairclough (2002), que a su vez parte del sistema de transitividad de Halliday (1985). Considerar la mercantilización de los valores abstractos resulta interesante en este contexto, pues se podría pensar que los hoteles ofrecen ante todo valores de tipo concreto y material, y no abstracto. Sin embargo, la representación mental de lo placentero y deseable en el turista,…
Idiomatic intonation and forensic phonetics: sociolinguistic and dialectal information from intonation in Spanish
2015
Las investigaciones de carácter geoprosódico realizadas sobre el español y sus variedades ponen en evidencia que la entonación puede reportar importantes beneficios a la fonética forense, ya que esta lleva asociada información de carácter dialectal y sociolingüístico de especial relevancia sobre el individuo –grupo sociocultural al que pertenece, origen geográfico, medio social en el que se inserta–, además de otros rasgos, cualidades o circunstancias como la edad, el sexo, o incluso su temperamento, carácter o estado de ánimo. Para ello se hace necesario no solo saber qué parámetros acústicos suprasegmentales son relevantes para la identificación del hablante, sino también analizar la vari…
Schmeller, Johann Andreas (1785–1852)
2006
The Bavarian J. A. Schmeller hoped that the Swiss educational reformer Pestalozzi would appoint him as a teacher. When this failed, he joined the Swiss military in Spanish services carrying out Pestalozzi's principles at military schools by teaching languages in Tarragona and Madrid, and, finally, at a private teaching institute in Basle. He was inspired by the Swiss dialect dictionary when he decided to make a Bavarian dialect dictionary and, based on this, a Bavarian dialect grammar. This was the beginning of German scientific dialectology. He was appointed member of the Bavarian Academy of Science and professor at Munich university. As curator of the Royal Court and State Library (1829) …
Differential Change of Borderline Personality Disorder Traits During Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Adolescents
2019
Despite the expansion of treatment options for adults with borderline personality disorder (BPD), research on treatment options for adolescent BPD is scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of dialectical behavior therapy for adolescents (DBT-A) on the individual trait level as primary outcome; and the frequency of suicide attempts and nonsuicidal self-injury, self-reported BPD core pathology, and general psychopathology as secondary outcomes. Seventy-two adolescents (aged 12–17 years) with full- or subsyndromal BPD were treated with DBT-A (25 single sessions, 20 sessions of skills training), and 13 patients (18.1%) withdrew during treatment. From baseline to post-treat…

Community and space in Italian sociolinguistics. The experience of the <i>Linguistic Atlas of Sicily</i> (<i>Atlante Linguistico de…
2018
Our paper focuses on the notions of ‘space’ and ‘community’ within the most recent developments of Italian sociolinguistics. This research area has roots in the tradition of Italian geolinguistic studies and has been enhanced by other research traditions. In fact, Italian sociolinguistics has reused the relationship between ‘community’ and ‘space’ investigated in the early twentieth century by Benvenuto Terracini’s (1886–1968) seminal studies on ‘minimal linguistic point’ (‘punto linguistico minimo’) and on ‘community of speakers’. Since the 1970s and, with more weight, in the last decades, some important contributions coming from scholars such as Alberto Sobrero, Tullio Telmon and Giovanni…
