From pragmatics to semantics:Esto esin formulaic expressions
2006
Abstract This paper explores the transition of the Spanish marker esto es (English that is) from a free construction into a reformulative marker, as well as the pragmatic variables involved in this shift. Based on the occurrences of esto es between the 13th and the 15th centuries in the CORDE corpus, the study shows that, in order to account for this change, external factors have to be considered, especially the discourse traditions associated with the texts in which this marker appears. If this hypothesis is correct, then the problem of the pragmatics-semantics interface will have to include a new front, where non-linguistic factors trigger changes in language structure.
Contrasting the form and use of reformulation markers
2007
This article deals with the form and use of reformulation markers in research papers written in English, Spanish and Catalan. Considering the form and frequency of the markers, English papers tend to prefer simple fixed markers and include fewer reformulators than Spanish and Catalan. On the contrary, formal Catalan and Spanish papers include more markers, some of which are complex and allow for some structural variability. As for use, reformulation markers establish dynamic relationships between portions of discourse which can be identified in our corpus with expansion, reduction and permutation. The analysis of the corpus shows that English authors usually reformulate to add more informa…
Aproximación al estudio de las funciones pragmáticas y a la atenuación en la partícula ‘onda’ en el español de Chile
2020
Resumen En el español de Chile, además de su uso como sustantivo, ‘onda’ cumple también funciones propias de una partícula discursiva. La bibliografía ha determinado que este elemento puede actuar como reformulador explicativo, operador de concreción, operador con valor continuativo o aproximativo e introductor de discurso directo (San Martín, Rojas & Guerrero, 2016). El presente estudio tiene como objetivo, primero, retomar esta propuesta de funciones y profundizar en ella y, segundo, determinar si existen usos de ‘onda’ que se relacionen con un valor pragmático atenuante, partiendo de la hipótesis de que este valor podría surgir a partir sus usos como aproximador y…
A prosodic analysis of truncated structures in Spanish colloquial conversation: the functions of formulation and mitigation
2018
Este trabajo analiza las características prosódicas de las estructuras truncadas en la conversación coloquial española con el fin de determinar si los rasgos prosódicos son índices predictivos de las funciones de formulación y atenuación. A partir de un estudio de corpus de conversaciones espontáneas, se analizan determinados fenómenos –duración, velocidad de habla, F0, pausas, inflexiones tonales– para elucidar si existe una correlación entre la interfaz prosódica y la pragmática. This study analyses the prosodic features of truncated structures in Spanish colloquial conversation with the aim of determining whether these prosodic features are predictable indices of the pragmatic functions …
Predicting the in vivo release from a liposomal formulation by IVIVC and non-invasive positron emission tomography imaging
2010
This study aimed to predict the in vivo performance from the in vitro release of a low-molecular weight model compound, [(18)F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose ([(18)F]FDG), from liposomes and by means of positron emission tomography (PET). Liposomes composed of hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine (HPC) were prepared by a freeze-thaw method. Particle size distribution was measured by dynamic light scattering (DLS). In vitro release was examined with a dispersion method detecting the radioactivity of [(18)F]FDG. In vivo release of [(18)F]FDG, following i.p. injection of the liposomes in rats, was determined by using a Micro-PET scanner. Convolution was performed to predict the in vivo profiles from …
Inversion formulae for the integral transform on a locally compact zero-dimensional group
2009
Abstract Generalized inversion formulae for multiplicative integral transform with a kernel defined by characters of a locally compact zero-dimensional abelian group are obtained using a Kurzweil-Henstock type integral.

FILOLOGIA GERMANICA – GERMANIC PHILOLOGY Supplemento 2 - 2021. Incantesimi e formule magiche nella tradizione manoscritta germanica medievale / Charm…
2021
The volume collects contributions devoted to charms and magical formulas of the medieval Germanic tradition, studied in the light of the relationship with the manuscript context that handed them down and the historical-cultural milieu of which they are produced. The approach to charms and magical formulas of the Germanic world has developed on an evolutionary path that has from time to time favoured perspectives of different scientific categories, and has been faced on philological, linguistic, semantic-pragmatic, semiotic and historical-literary basis. The essays gathered in the volume offer different examples – but at the same time linked by some themes and a common purpose – of the magic…
Blood cell transcript levels in 5-year-old children as potential markers of breastfeeding effects in those small for gestational age at birth
2019
BackgroundNutrition of the newborn during the early postnatal period seems to be of capital importance and there is clinical evidence showing the protective effect of breastfeeding compared with formula feeding on childhood obesity and its comorbidities. Infants born small for gestation age may be more sensitive to the type of feeding during lactation. Here, we aimed to analyze the impact of birth weight and the type of infant feeding on the expression levels in peripheral blood cells of selected candidate genes involved in energy homeostasis in 5-year-old children, to find out potential early biomarkers of metabolic programming effects during this period of metabolic plasticity.MethodsFort…
