Les vicissituds de la traducció al castellà d’elements heroics i medievals del Canigó, de Jacint Verdaguer. El cas de «La Maladeta»

2014

Resum: En aquest article s’estudien les dificultats de traduir «La Maladeta», un passatge de Canigó, de Jacint Verdaguer. Creiem que aquest fragment és prou representatiu de la temàtica del poema èpic verdaguerià, ja que ha estat un dels més traduïts a totes les llengües i, a més, conté elements heroics i medievals del poema. És per això que hem cregut oportú de fer l’anlàlisi de la traducció dels fragments, per poder treure’n unes conclusions que ens serveixin per avaluar la qualitat de cada versió.Paraules clau: Verdaguer, Canigó, medieval, traducció. Abstract: In this article we study the translation’s difficulties of «La Maladeta», an extract of Canigó by Jacint Verdaguer. We think that…

Josefa Verride y Martina de los Ángeles. El difícil camino hacia la santidad.

2016

Resumen: A través de la información que nos proporcionan las vidas de Josefa Verride, tercera de la orden dominica en Huesca y Martina de los Ángeles, religiosa de la misma orden, fundadora del convento de san Pedro de Benabarre, pretendo aportar nuevas ideas acerca del proceso de adquisición de la fama de santidad de algunas mujeres en la Edad Moderna española. Las órdenes religiosas debieron idear estrategias que ayudasen a legitimar y consolidar la fama de santidad de estas mujeres. Una de estas estrategias fue la vinculación de las religiosas con otras mujeres con fama de santidad, creando genealogías femeninas que les permitiesen perpetuar su memoria y prestigio a lo largo del tiempo. …

Dead but not buried: Hannah Dunstan and the creation of a North-American community of memory

2019

Apresada por un grupo de indios abenakis, el 15 de marzo de 1697, Hannah Dustan presenció el asesinato de su bebé a manos de sus captores y sufrió todo tipo de torturas físicas y psicológicas. Ante el temor a padecer mayores tormentos a su llegada al campamento al que eran conducidos, la mujer asesinó a sus captores y les arrancó las cabelleras. Considerada por muchos como “madre de la historia norteamericana”, Dustan ha sido incluso tildada por otros de asesina de indios. Las múltiples versiones de su experiencia evidencian cómo los mitos nacionales femeninos y sus víctimas nativas se pusieron al servicio de una retórica política que justificó la colonización y el expansionismo norteameric…

Sulle origini della ‘telicità’: κίνησις ed ἐνέργεια in Aristotele

2014

Nell’ambito della classificazione aspettuale dei verbi un ruolo particolare riveste la distinzione del tratto telico-atelico, alla base della tradizionale suddivisione tra le classi vendleriane rispettivamente di accomplishment e achievement da una parte e states e activities dall’altra. Nonostante la rilevanza di tale tratto nella riflessione linguistica contemporanea, a tutt’oggi gli studiosi non condividono una definizione univoca della telicità, soprattutto perché dietro ad ogni definizione si nasconde una diversa prospettiva teorica. Scopo del presente lavoro è un’analisi dell’origine del termine nella teoria linguistica, che è solita ricondurre la distinzione del tratto telico-atelico…

Treading lightly on the Earth. Metaphorical frames in the discourse of ecotourism

2013

The present contribution aims to analyse the underlying metaphorical conceptualizations which frame the discourse of ecotourism and their similar or different surface realisations across languages and cultures (American English, British English and Italian). It addresses the issue of ideological categories construed by the discourse of ecotourism to promote its message in order to “persuade potential customers into becoming actual clients by addressing their cultural needs and personal motivations to travel” (Edwards and Curado 2003: 26). Ideology, in this work, relies on van Dijk’s (1998: 9) conceptualization as ‘social cognition’, namely a system of values, beliefs, thoughts shared by mem…

Cómo mirar una parte del mundo: el vocabulario del cuerpo en una lengua amerindia

2006

This paper analyses the vocabulary of body parts in Cha’palaachi, an Amerindian language of the Republic of Ecuador. A number of basic roots refers to (a) forms or (b) parts of the body, although in some cases reference is made to general areas more than to specific parts. These areas, as well as the general vocabulary of forms, points to the importance of spatial elements in Cha’palaachi, which is also identifiable in other parts of the vocabulary and grammar. A significant point is that the body-part terms are organised on the basis of the reference to form, in such a way that the body-part element itself is only of secondary importance. Metaphorical and metonymic extension is more freque…

2015 : « Le vouloir-dire et le silence des langues », dans Acta linguistica, Journal for Theoretical Linguistics, Banská Bystrica, Ekonomická fakulta…

2015

This paper deals with so-called “mind-saying” and “silence of languages”. These concepts mainly belong to cognitive linguistics and specifically to “linguistic neoteny” (theory of uncompleted speaker). Every human being develops a different cognitive relation with the languages he speaks. Nevertheless, those languages obligate him to accept cognitive restrictions to deal with quantity, quality and frequency of the formulations. The restrictions force the speaker to choose between the linguistic production (le dire) and the lack of linguistic production (le non-dire). In the first case, the enunciation is built with the units needed for the expression and the expressiveness of the language. …

ON-LINE CONSTRUCTION OF A SMALL AUTOMATON FOR A FINITE SET OF WORDS

2012

In this paper we describe a "light" algorithm for the on-line construction of a small automaton recognising a finite set of words. The algorithm runs in linear time. We carried out good experimental results on real dictionaries, on biological sequences and on the sets of suffixes (resp. factors) of a set of words that shows how our automaton is near to the minimal one. For the suffixes of a text, we propose a modified construction that leads to an even smaller automaton. We moreover construct linear algorithms for the insertion and deletion of a word in a finite set, directly from the constructed automaton.

Pseudo-relatives, gerunds and infinitives in Romance: (only) superficial resemblances and structural connections

2013

L'argomento di questa monografia è un confronto tra i costrutti predicativi di tipo frasale nelle diverse varietà romanze. Mentre le pseudorelative sono diffuse pressoché in tutta la Romània, con qualche variazione parametrica minore, i gerundi predicativi e gli infiniti preposizionali sono usati solo in alcune varietà. Negli studi linguistici sull'argomento è mancata finora l'ottica comparativa, sia tra varietà diverse, sia tra costrutti predicativi diversi. Il mio lavoro si prefissa lo scopo di colmare questa lacuna, senza ignorare però i costrutti percettivi composti da un infinito semplice, che da parte della letteratura sono stati paragonati alle strutture predicative delle pseudorelat…
