Remarks on the relations between the Italian and American schools of algebraic geometry in the first decades of the 20th century
2004
Abstract In this paper we give an overview of the interactions between Italian and American algebraic geometers during the first decades of the 20th century. We focus on three mathematicians—Julian L. Coolidge, Solomon Lefschetz, and Oscar Zariski—whose relations with the Italian school were quite intense. More generally, we discuss the importance of this influence in the development of algebraic geometry in the first half of the 20th century.
Sex and translation: On women, men and identities
2014
Synopsis Much has been written on gender and language over the last two decades with an emphasis on feminist translation, on the translation of woman's body or on the re-discovery of a growing genealogy of translating — and translated — women in diverse languages and cultures (see Santaemilia & von Flotow, 2011). In this paper we wish to focus on the translation of sex-related language. Without a doubt, sex — and more specifically, sex-related language — is overwhelmingly present in our daily lives, in our texts, in our symbolic projections. Though traditionally proscribed for a number of reasons, the study of the translation of sex is nowadays more openly dealt with. Translating the langua…
Hybrid third sector organizations in Finland – Arts and cultural institutions in focus
2014
This article examines hybrid organizations in the field of culture. The main two objectives of the article are 1) to examine the differences between public theatre organizations and third sector theatre organizations and 2) to study hybrid theatres in relation to public and third sector organizations. Hybrid theatres are private as to their legal status, but under municipal control. First the theories and definitions of hybridity and the overlapping between sectors are summarized. Empirical examination includes 31 big and medium-sized professional Finnish theatre institutions. In the examination, clear differences between public and third sector organizations were found in their financing, …
Malformations of Cortical Development and Neocortical Focus
2014
Abstract Developmental neocortical malformations resulting from abnormal neurogenesis, disturbances in programmed cell death, or neuronal migration disorders may cause a long-term hyperexcitability. Early generated Cajal–Retzius and subplate neurons play important roles in transient cortical circuits, and structural/functional disorders in early cortical development may induce persistent network disturbances and epileptic disorders. In particular, depolarizing GABAergic responses are important for the regulation of neurodevelopmental events, like neurogenesis or migration, while pathophysiological alterations in chloride homeostasis may cause epileptic activity. Although modern imaging tech…
MĪLENBAHA-ENDZELĪNA LATVIEŠU VALODAS VĀRDNĪCĀ IEKĻAUTĀS BĀRTAS IZLOKSNES LEKSIKAS VISPĀRĪGS RAKSTUROJUMS
2021
This article gives an insight into the vocabulary of one of the sub-dialects of the Central dialect of the Latvian language – namely, the sub-dialect spoken in Bārta, a place in South-Western Kurzeme. The focus of the article is on those lexical units of the Bārta sub-dialect that are included in one of the most important works of Latvian linguistics – the Latvian Language Dictionary (1923–1932) and it’s Appendix (1934–1946), compiled and published by Kārlis Mīlenbahs, Jānis Endzelīns and Edīte Hauzenberga. The material analyzed here is taken from the electronic version of the Latvian Language Dictionary (www.tezaurs.lv/mev). The vocabulary of the Bārta sub-dialect is represented there by a…
Term Ontogenesis in Educational Research Discourse: Focus on Term “Language”
2013
The paradigm shifts from the individual dimension to the social dimension of term ontogenesis in educational research discourse. The aim of the study is to analyze results of the ontogenesis of the term “language” in educational research discourse. The meaning of key concepts of “term” and “ontogenesis” is studied. Moreover, the study demonstrates how the key concepts are related to the idea of “concept development” and shows a potential model for development, indicating how the steps of the process are related following a logical chain: “term” definition → “ontogenesis” definition → educational research discourse → exploratory study. The present research was conducted to analyze the ontoge…
The treatment of collocations in Spanish-Catalan bilingual dictionaries
2018
En este trabajo nos centraremos en el tratamiento que reciben las colocaciones en los diccionarios bilingües de la pareja de lenguas español y catalán, repertorios destinados generalmente a usuarios no nativos del catalán con el fin de comprender o producir textos en catalán. Para ello, partiremos del análisis de dichas combinaciones en cinco de los diccionarios bilingües de las parejas de lengua analizadas usados en la actualidad. Para la selección de nuestro corpus de colocaciones, constituido por 30 combinaciones, nos hemos basado en la clasificación establecida por Corpas (1996), y hemos optado por las colocaciones formadas por verbo + sustantivo (V + SUST) y sustantivo + adjetivo (SUST…
From noticing to initiating correction: Students’ epistemic displays in instructional interaction
2014
Abstract By drawing on conversation analysis and the analysis of embodiment-in-interaction, this article describes students’ locally situated, interactional practices of demonstrating knowledge in teacher-led instructional interaction in the English lessons of a Content-and-Language-Integrated-Learning (CLIL) class. It focuses on students’ correction initiations that are preceded by embodied noticings – interactional events that are performed through different kinds of visibly intensified embodied and material practices. The analysis demonstrates how the embodied noticings serve as a preamble to the ensuing correction initiation and help project participant's stance toward the noticed featu…
Multilingual dynamics in Sámiland: Rhizomatic discourses on changing language
2013
Multilingualism in indigenous language communities brings forth tensions and creativity related to language change. In this article, taking dynamic multilingual indigenous Sámi language practices as a focus of ethnographic and discourse analytical research, I examine rhizomatic discourses on changing language in multilingual Sámi spaces. Based on longitudinal research on multilingualism in Sámiland, I will argue that the interlinked discourses of endangerment, commodification and carnivalisation simultaneously circulate across Sámi spaces, and structure language practices and experiences. Furthermore, multilingual dynamics can lead to both contestation and creativity in language practices,…
Word-Formation and Contextualism
2014
While there is, under the heading of “morphopragmatics”, some research on the relation of pragmatics and word-formation, especially with a focus on diminutives, the major theoretical models of word-formation do not account for the word-formation/pragmatics interface in any systematic fashion. Moreover, in recent contextualist approaches to the semantics/pragmatics interface, the typical grammatical unit referred to is the sentence (including words that constitute a sentence), but not word structure or the morpheme. Drawing on morphological data from German, I will show the influence of pragmatic processes and principles on word-formation, arguing that word structures are also units that may…
