The assimilation of problematic experiences in linguistic therapy of evaluation: How did maría assimilate the experience of dizziness?

2006

Abstract The assimilation model proposes eight stages through which patients with problematic experiences pass during assimilation, ranging from suppression or dissociation to mastery. These are summarized in the Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Scale (APES). The assimilation model and the APES have been developed through intensive qualitative study of significant therapeutic events. This article describes the process of assimilation of the problematic experiences of dizziness in a patient, Maria, treated with linguistic therapy of evaluation. All treatment sessions were analyzed with the goals of describing the process of assimilation and connecting this process with the therapeutic…

The Differential Relations between Perceived Social Support and Rumination-Associated Goals

2013

In this study with N = 93 student participants, we employed a daily process approach to investigate sadness-associated rumination in daily life. Specifically, we examined whether the attainment of coping-related goals that people intend to achieve with their sadness-associated rumination were associated with changes in perceived social support. Moreover, we investigated the relations between sadness-related cognitive appraisals, goal pursuit and attainment, and ruminative process variables. Perceived social support was positively related to the attainment of resolution-focused goals, but not to understanding-focused goals, suggesting that social support is particularly associated with a fun…

Evolución de la competencia comunicativa mediante intervención pragmática en retraso del lenguaje: estudio de caso

2021

En el presente trabajo se describe la eficacia de la evaluación e intervención pragmática en un caso de retraso del lenguaje secundario a daño cerebral infantil. La intervención logopédica adoptó un marco teórico de psicolingüística cognitiva funcional y se centró en potenciar las habilidades pragmáticas comunicativas mediante la estimulación de las categorías pragmáticas interactivas en contextos conversacionales naturales. Mediante el PREP-R (Protocolo Rápido de Evaluación Pragmática Revisado) se ha hecho un seguimiento de la orientación comunicativa de los turnos, la predictibilidad, la eficacia comunicativa, la habilidad pragmática (general, específica y gramatical) y los elementos que …

Behind the institutional identity: shifting from we-clusters to I-clusters in diplomatic discourse

2011

As research on subjectivity has already shown (Bühler 1934; Mushin 2001), speakers do not just neutrally and mechanically describe states and affairs in the world sorting to objective and prefabricated linguistic formulations, but their personal identity sometimes crops up through a range of viewpoints. This paper is both a contribution to the literature on diplomatic discourse seen as the expression of the foreign policy of a country (Marshall 1990) and to the representation of political identities in specialized discourse (Fairclough 2003). The Diplomatic Corpus (DiCo), investigated in this study, comprises all the speeches delivered by the three British foreign ministers (Cook, Straw and…

Effect of kind and content of organo-modified clay on properties of PET nanocomposites

2011

In this work we report the properties of nanocomposite based on PET with two different samples of organically modified montmorillonites. In particular, we studied the effect of the filler concentration on morphology, rheology, and mechanical performance, focusing our attention on the effect of the degradation phenomena of the clay modifiers. The results indicate that at low clay level the morphology achieved is mainly intercalated. On increasing the filler level, coalescence and/or bad defragmentation phenomena induce a coarser morphology, as confirmed by XRD, SEM, and TEM observations. When a more polar organic modifier is used to modify the clay, the particle adhesion and distribution is …

Evaluation of legendre functions of argument greater than one

1997

Abstract In this paper we present an algorithm to evaluate Legendre functions of the first and second kinds ( P v , Q v ) for integraland half-integral order and argument greater than one. The code is based on the calculation of the continued fraction for the Q 's. the Wronskian relating P 's and Q 's and the application of forward recurrence relations for the P 's and backward recurrence for the Q 's. We also show an application of these algorithms to the evaluation of the electrostatic field due to a charged toroidal conductor at potential V .

La sémantique des termes de dégustation peut-elle être autre chose qu'une sémantique expérientielle et expérimentale ?

2018

International audience; [Objectifs et problématique] La question au centre du chapitre est celle de savoir quel(s) cadre(s) sémantique(s) théorique(s) est / sont le(s) mieux à même de rendre justice aux contraintes génériques qui pèsent sur les terminologies sensorielles – à commencer, ici, par la terminologie œnologique. Il s’agit en effet de tenir compte de deux aspects particuliers : d’une part la dimension expérientielle de ces termes (Dubois 2009) – où expérience doit être entendu au sens très concret de l’expérience de dégustation – et, d’autre part, la dimension éminemment subjective de ces expériences que la recherche d’une intersubjectivité partagée – comme sous-bassement définitoi…

Beyond decomposition: Processing zero-derivations in English visual word recognition

2019

Four experiments investigate the effects of covert morphological complexity during visual word recognition. Zero-derivations occur in English in which a change of word class occurs without any change in surface form (e.g., a boat-to boat; to soak-a soak). Boat is object-derived and is a basic noun (N), whereas soak is action-derived and is a basic verb (V). As the suffix {-ing} is only attached to verbs, deriving boating from its base, requires two steps, boat(N) > boat(V) > boating(V), while soaking can be derived in one step from soak(V). Experiments 1 to 3 used masked priming at different prime durations to test matched sets of one- and two-step verbs for morphological (soaking-SOA…

Expressive suppression and enhancement during music-elicited emotions in younger and older adults

2015

International audience; When presented with emotional visual scenes, older adults have been found to be equally capable to regulate emotion expression as younger adults, corroborating the view that emotion regulation skills are maintained or even improved in later adulthood. However, the possibility that gaze direction might help achieve an emotion control goal has not been taken into account, raising the question whether the effortful processing of expressive regulation is really spared from the general age-related decline. Since it does not allow perceptual attention to be redirected away from the emotional source, music provides a useful way to address this question. In the present study…
