“Lições do mestre“: da tradução como viagem e da literatura como direito
2019
Combining critical perspectivation and personal account, I hope to offer a retrospective on my experience with the thought of Antonio Candido and a contribution to what we could consider his legacy. First I talk about my translation of a selection of his essays to German for an anthology published in 2005, about the translator’s readings and reflections, which serve as a starting point for rethinking some fundamental issues of Candido’s thought, such as the critical task of teaching and studying literature, also the question of literature’s social (ir)relevance in our days, as analyzed in the famous essay “O direito a literatura” (“The right to literature”, 1988).

On the role of consonants and vowels in visual-word processing: Evidence with a letter search paradigm
2010
Prior research has shown that the search function in the visual letter search task may reflect the regularities of the orthographic structure of a given script. In the present experiment, we examined whether the search function of letter detection was sensitive to consonant-vowel status of a pre-cued letter. Participants had to detect the presence/absence of a previously cued letter target (either vowel or consonant) at the initial, central or final position in a five-letter Spanish word or pseudoword. Results showed a significant effect of consonant-vowel status on letter search function which paralleled the orthographic constraints of Spanish. When searching for a consonant, participants …
Differentiation in language and gesture use during early bilingual development of hearing children of Deaf parents
2014
Hearing children of Deaf parents simultaneously acquire sign language and spoken language, which have many structural differences and represent two different modalities. We video-recorded eight children every six months between the ages of 12 and 24 months during three different play sessions: with their Deaf parent, with the Deaf parent and a hearing adult, and with a hearing adult alone. Additionally, we collected data on their vocabulary development in both sign language and spoken language. Children as young as 12 months old accommodated their language use according to the language(s) of their interlocutor(s). Additionally, the children used a manual modality that included gestures more…
How adolescents navigate Wikipedia to answer questions / ¿Cómo navegan los adolescentes en Wikipedia para contestar preguntas?
2015
AbstractIn one experiment, we explored how high school students use hyperlink relevance cues while they navigate to answer questions from hypertexts. Current evidence has shown that students may navigate by either performing a deep semantic analysis of the relationship between the question and the existing hyperlinks, or by matching words in the question to words in the hyperlink labels. We focused on how students combine both cues during navigation, and how comprehension skills relate to the use of such cues. Our study revealed that 14 year old students (N = 53) selected hyperlinks by relying to a similar degree on both word matching and semantic overlap. Furthermore, when there was a conf…
Linguistic interpretation of speech errors
2016
The paper is an attempt to illustrate the linguistic interpretation of speech, known that it remains insufficiently resolved, especially for Romanian. The cause is given by the multitude of criteria that can or should be considered important in speech processing. The aim of this study is to develope a computational tool in order to identify the possible errors related to the morphosintactic structure of speech. Our goal is to assist users who can receive automatically different suggestions that can help them to improve the quality of their text. Thus, we chose an interdisciplinary approach through speech analysis that brings together the key fields of linguistics, computer science and so on…

Public declarations and performing arts: the construction of characters and narratives of appropriators men and women in Teatro x la Identidad (2000-…
2020
El artículo se propone analizar los diferentes modos de poner en escena personajes y narrativas de apropiadores y apropiadoras en dos obras que formaron parte del primer ciclo de Teatro x la Identidad (Ciudad de Buenos Aires, 2001). Para esto, se estudiará la construcción de un represor y apropiador a través de sus declaraciones públicas reproducidas por la prensa escrita a fines de los años 80; y el uso dramático de aquellas declaraciones en el espectáculo semimontado A propósito de la duda (2000-2001), de Patricia Zangaro que lo convierte a él y a su esposa en personajes de apropiadores representados, irónicamente, como buenos padres de familia. Por otro lado, se examinará la obra Método …

Este estudio se acerca a la complejidad de las vivencias cotidianas femeninas en el exilio republicano en Francia desde la mirada, memorias y recuerdos de una mujer exiliada y bajo una perspectiva de genero.

Why braille reading is important and how to study it /Por qué es importante la lectura en braille y cómo estudiarla
2016
AbstractDespite its relevance in theoretical and practical terms, braille reading has received little attention from researchers. Awareness of the pros and cons of the different procedures used to examine braille reading is needed to facilitate the realization of systematic studies and to improve teaching methods in braille reading. This study provides a critical examination of braille reading methods and highlights key points for future studies on tactile reading.
