Rimbaud e Apollinaire nas recreacións poéticas bielorrusas: particularidades do tratamento fraseoestilístico / Rimbaud and Apollinaire in Belarusian …
2021
Certas peculiaridades da linguaxe dos textos artísticos son difíciles de transmitir na tradución, aínda que se trate das características dominantes do estilo dun poeta. Isto é especialmente certo cando nos enfrontamos a estilos tan innovadores dende o punto de vista lingüístico como os de Rimbaud ou Apollinaire. Ao traducir os seus textos ao idioma bielorruso, o tradutor leva a cabo simultaneamente dúas tarefas: a de tradución propiamente dita e a de afirmar e actualizar o seu propio idioma. Neste artigo, ofrecemos unha análise comparativa dalgunhas características da combinatoria léxica da poesía de Rimbaud e de Apollinaire e as súas traducións ao bielorruso. Como metodoloxía de análise li…

Spatiotemporal dynamics of activation in motor and language areas suggest a compensatory role of the motor cortex in second language processing
2023
The involvement of the motor cortex in language understanding has been intensively discussed in the framework of embodied cognition. Although some studies have provided evidence for the involvement of the motor cortex in different receptive language tasks, the role that it plays in language perception and understanding is still unclear. In the present study, we explored the degree of involvement of language and motor areas in a visually presented sentence comprehension task, modulated by language proficiency (L1: native language, L2: second language) and linguistic abstractness (literal, metaphorical, and abstract). Magnetoencephalography data were recorded from 26 late Chinese learners of …
Modelling Without a Modelling Language
2018
Developments in computer hardware and programming languages, in this case C++, have made it feasible to write models of concurrent systems under verification in the programming language, instead of some established modelling language such as Promela. While this does not reduce the usefulness of modelling languages, it offers new possibilities that may be advantageous, for instance, when teaching state space ideas to newcomers or when experimenting with new scientific ideas. In earlier work, we were able to express everything else fairly naturally in C++, except the set of transitions. The present study uses C++ lambda functions to represent naturally transitions that consist of a tail state…
Mocking fakeness
2022
Abstract Phonetic resources, like dialects and accents, are used in ethnic humour to build up a recognisable character that pokes fun at the stereotypes associated with a particular identity, sometimes with critical and political undertones. In this article, we examine the manipulation of one such resource, aspiration, used in performing and mocking one such clichéd character, called the fake Sámi. This character has a contested history in Finnish tourism and marketing practices, and is embedded in a long-standing debate about who can use emblems of Sámi identity for economic purposes. Adopting a sociophonetic language regard and folk linguistics approaches (Preston 2010; Niedzielski & …
Colita en contexto: fotografía y feminismo durante la transición española.
2018
El trabajo que desarrolló la fotógrafa catalana Colita (Barcelona, 1940) durante la década de los setenta fue aliado del movimiento feminista que se recompuso en el Estado español tras la muerte de Franco. En este artculo estudiaremos sus práctcas fotográfcas al respecto, aquellas que visibilizaron las demandas más importantes del feminismo español del momento: su trabajo para la revista <em>Vindicación feminista</em> (1976- 1979 y el fotolibro <em>Antfémina</em> (Editora Nacional, 1977), que hizo en colaboración con María Aurèlia Capmany. En segundo lugar atenderemos a la fotografa erótca que también desarrolló Colita durante estos años, una producción más problemát…
