Translanguaging as Playful Subversion of a Monolingual Norm in the Classroom

2018

A large part of the literature on translanguaging as a pedagogical theory has explored how an inclusive multilingual pedagogy can support students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds to actively participate in the classroom. While much of this literature approaches classroom translanguaging as an instructional strategy designed to promote multilingual interactional practices, we analyse how multilingual practices can also take place as subversive language play in an educational context that is driven by a monolingual norm. Our data are video-recorded lessons from secondary-level Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classrooms in Finland in which students whose L1 is …

Ciència ciutadana contra prejudicis lingüístics: el projecte Milmots.eu

2017

La ciència ciutadana és un bon mecanisme per a fer recerca en l’àmbit de la demolingüística, ja que proposa la participació i l’arreplegada de dades del gran públic al mateix temps que genera una cultura científica en la societat. El projecte Milmots és una eina interactiva que neix amb l’objectiu de difondre, de conèixer i de compartir el nostre lèxic, les nostres paraules, associades als nostres pobles i les nostres comarques. L’elevat volum de mots i locucions recollit ha proporcionat un material idoni per a realitzar un estudi sociolingüístic que posa de manifest que les variables socials d’edat, àrea dialectal, nombre d’habitants de la població tenen una influència significativa sobre …

Valenza e insegnamento della lingua straniera

2015

This work deals with valency, a key syntactic notion whose chemistry-inspired label was established by Lucien Tesnière (1959), one of the most well-known contributors to the Prague Linguistic Circle. We will concentrate on two questions: (a) to what extent does valency play a role in Second Language Learning (SLL)?; and (b) what role should the use of valency play in language teaching practices? This paper will provide answers to these questions and propose reasons for motivating the use of valency in SLL.

Fluent Speakers of a Second Language Process Graspable Nouns Expressed in L2 Like in Their Native Language

2017

According to embodied cognition, language processing relies on the same neural structures involved when individuals experience the content of language material. If so, processing nouns expressing a motor content presented in a second language should modulate the motor system as if presented in the mother tongue. We tested this hypothesis using a go-no go paradigm. Stimuli included English nouns and pictures depicting either graspable or non-graspable objects. Pseudo-words and scrambled images served as controls. Italian participants, fluent speakers of English as a second language, had to respond when the stimulus was sensitive and refrain from responding when it was not. As foreseen by emb…

Hvordan kan teknologi skape nye undervisnings- og læringsmåter i fremmedspråksundervisningen fram mot 2030?

2014

Published version of an article in the journal: Acta Didactica Norge. Also available from the publisher at: http://adno.no/index.php/adno/article/view/358/393 Open Access I denne artikkelen drøfter jeg hvordan teknologi kan skape nye undervisnings- og læringsmåter i fremmedspråksundervisningen fram mot 2030. Jeg starter med å skissere et mulig framtidsscenario i form av et blogginnlegg skrevet av en 15 åring i året 2030. Videre i artikkelen tar jeg utgangspunkt i dette framtids-scenarioet og sammenligner det med dagens situasjon, i tillegg til at jeg drøfter hva som må til for at scenarioet kan oppfylles. Læreren spiller en nøkkelrolle i utviklingen av nye undervisnings- og læringsmåter, og…

Clinical justification of dental radiology in adult patients: A review of the literature

2007

Although the radiological doses used by dentists are low individually, patients are often exposured to many repeat dental radiographic examinations. The ‘routine’ use of dental radiography, such as screening of all patients using dental panoramic radiography (DPRs) or a random decision to take a dental radiograph, will inevitable lead to unnecessary patient exposure. The use of Radiographic Referral Criteria has now become a legal requirement for all practitioners following the adoption of European Legislation. All exposures to x-rays should be clinically justified and each exposure should be expected to give the patient a positive net benefit. Recently the European Commission has published…

Système olfactif et neurobiologie

2006

Les connaissances neurobiologiques sur l’odorat progressent désormais rapidement depuis la découverte des récepteurs des odorants, remarquables par leur grand nombre et leur diversité. Des réponses sont maintenant apportées aux questions posées par les propriétés originales de la perception olfactive dont beaucoup sont déterminées dès le niveau de l’organe olfactif, et sont fortement déterminées par la génétique. Les connaissances génétiques sur les récepteurs dévoilent une considérable réduction du nombre de gènes olfactifs fonctionnels dans l’espèce humaine et alimentent une réflexion sur l’évolution de l’odorat. Autre avancée riche de promesses : l’application à l’olfaction des méthodes …

COMPORTAMIENTO A LARGO PLAZO DE LAS OFERTAS PÚBLICAS DE VENTA SUBSIGUIENTES EN EL MERCADO ESPAÑOL

2002

This research investigates the long¿run after¿performance of firms conducting seasoned equity offering in the Spanish market during the period 1993¿1999. Due to statistical and conceptual problems related to the estimation and contrast of long¿horizon returns, we analyse the robustness of results to different methodologies. We obtain evidence that issuers experience negative abnormal returns economically and statistically significant during the year after the event. These results are robust to different metrics, estimations and tests used. Finally, underperformance is more severe in small, growth firms. En este trabajo estudiamos si las empresas cotizadas que realizan un oferta pública de v…
