The periphrases we had forgotten: review and update of the treatment of «tener + participle» and «llevar + participle» in teaching Spanish as a Forei…

2020

Las perífrasis resultativas y presentan una particular complejidad para los aprendientes de español, que se ve agravada por una desatención generalizada en los materiales de Español como Lengua Extranjera (ELE). En este estudio, en primer lugar, llevamos a cabo un análisis del tratamiento que han recibido estas perífrasis en algunos manuales y gramáticas de ELE. Constatamos que, en la mayoría de casos, se han dado explicaciones insuficientes, confusas o excesivamente metalingüísticas de estas construcciones. Tras confirmar la necesidad de actualizar la enseñanza de y , llevamos a cabo una propuesta de sistematización de su tratamiento basándonos en los fundamentos teóricos de la gramática c…

Descartes on Corporeal Substances

2015

I defend in this paper the following two theses: first, that Descartes was a Pluralist as regards extended substances, that is, that for him the extended world includes a plurality of bodies, including ordinary objects, each of which may be adequately described as a substance; and that for him the notion of substance is a rather slim notion, making no specific requirements as regards individuation or persistence conditions, and determining therefore no strict constraints on the kind of material objects that may count as substances. In short, I will be arguing for a certain view concerning the extension of the phrase ‘extended substance’ by defending a specific view of what ‘substance’ means…

From the mouth to digital spaces : mediatization and spectacularization of the political “petites phrases”

2023

The political “petites phrases” seems to occupy a growing place in the newspapers and social media. The development of web 2.0 and digital social networks have boosted this political-media phenomenon that was born in the 1970s, thanks to new formats of televised debates. Our study, based on the initial work of Krieg-Planque (2011) and Maingueneau (2012), aims to analyse specific processes and devices accompanying the reproduction of these fragments of political speech on digital social networks. To this end, we will return to the way in which “petites phrases” are detached and put into circulation, as well as to the media devices aimed at putting into spectacle and reinforcing their polemic…

Early perception of phrasal prosody and its role in syntactic and lexical acquisition

2018

Chapter: 2, pp. 17-35; International audience; This chapter will review empirical findings on the perception of phrasal prosody in very young infants, and how it develops in first language acquisition. The ability to process phrasal prosody impacts learning of important aspects of language, specifically word segmentation and syntactic parsing. We will see that infants are able to perceive crucial aspects of phrasal prosody before the end of their first year of life, and that a few months later they are able to exploit the prosodic structure of an utterance to constrain its syntactic analysis, and therefore, to infer the meaning of unknown words.

From Fantasy to Magic Realism

1998

Much use has been made of the term ‘magic realism’ to refer to texts which introduce an important ‘imaginary’ dimension into ‘realistic’ evocations of the world. The Cuban Alejo Carpentier has also coined the phrase to real maravilloso (marvellous reality) which he applies to a vision characteristic of Central and South America.

Left but not right temporal involvement in opaque idiom comprehension: a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation study

2004

Abstract It has been suggested that figurative language, which includes idioms, is controlled by the right hemisphere. We tested the right hemisphere hypothesis by using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to transiently disrupt the function of the frontal and temporal areas of the right versus left hemisphere in a group of normal participants involved in a task of opaque idiom versus literal sentence comprehension. Forty opaque, nonambiguous idioms were selected. Fifteen young healthy participants underwent rTMS in two sessions. The experiment was run in five blocks, corresponding to the four stimulated scalp positions (left frontal and temporal and right frontal and tempor…

The grammaticalization and pragmaticalization of cleft constructions in Present-Day English

2012

The present paper examines the development of the variation between a marked and an unmarked infinitival complement clause in three types of cleft constructions in 20th century English. Data from corpora of written and spoken British (BrE) and American English (AmE) evidence a significantly divergent development of these clefts types in speaking when compared to writing. The written corpora show a steady increase in the frequency of clefts, and a decrease of the to-infinitive paired with an increase of the bare infinitive, thus a reversal of preferences in both varieties in all three types of clefts. This erosion of to as an (optional) grammatical marker leads to a higher degree of syntacti…

The linguistic representation of gender violence in (written) media discourse

2014

‘Woman’ is a key social actor, and a central conceptualization, in the construction of media discourses of gender-based violence. Scholarly research at the turn of the 21st century (Bengoechea 2000; Lledó 2002; Fernández Díaz 2003; Jorge 2004) showed that in the Spanish press, media discourses had a tendency to naturalize male aggression not as violence but as part of the (private) sexual arrangement between the sexes. In this paper we explore the treatment of the phrasemujer maltratada(EN ‘battered woman’) in intimate partner violence newspaper articles from 2005 to 2010. Our aims are: (i) to account for the discursive representation of violence against women (VAW) in Spanish contemporary …
