Les stéréotypes nominaux et la combinatoire lexicale
2011
In this article, we are interested in the stereotypes associated with the names of substances and natural phenomena. We try to demonstrate, through their lexical combinatory, that the semantic representation of these names is constituted of the denotative meaning, built on the basis of a knowledge, and the stereotype, i.e. the conventional ideas on the appearance and the nature of the denoted objects.
The Future of Technology in Positive Psychology: Methodological Advances in the Science of Well-Being
2018
Advances in biotechnology and information technology are poised to transform well-being research. This article reviews the technologies that we predict will have the most impact on both measurement and intervention in the field of positive psychology over the next decade. These technologies include: psychopharmacology, non-invasive brain stimulation, virtual reality environments, and big-data methods for large-scale multivariate analysis. Some particularly relevant potential costs and benefits to individual and collective well-being are considered for each technology as well as ethical considerations. As these technologies may substantially enhance the capacity of psychologists to intervene…
Meaning in Life Buffers the Association between Perceived Burdensomeness, Thwarted Belongingness, and Frequency of Non-Suicidal Self-Injuries in Span…
2021
Background: Adolescence is a developmental stage when there is a high risk of engaging in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). There is recent interest in the study of thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensome as variables associated with the frequency of NSSI in adolescents. Meaning in life (MIL) might be negatively associated with thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness. To date, no studies have analyzed the buffering role of MIL in the association between thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness and the frequency of lifetime NSSI in Spanish adolescents. Aims: (a) To test whether thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness are associated with frequency of …
Towards Natural Engagement in Nonexhibitional Dramatic Role-Plays
2003
Modern language teaching and drama have long had a tenuous relationship. Foreign/second language teaching (F/SLT) and Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) instruction often mistakenly associate drama with learning games and role-play simulations. However, these remedial activities, though useful, offer only limited opportunities for natural speech interaction. This article argues that, as a natural dialogical process of cognitive and affective involvement, nonexhibitional dramatic role-play generates authentic meaning through action and personal commitment.
Translanguaging as Playful Subversion of a Monolingual Norm in the Classroom
2018
A large part of the literature on translanguaging as a pedagogical theory has explored how an inclusive multilingual pedagogy can support students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds to actively participate in the classroom. While much of this literature approaches classroom translanguaging as an instructional strategy designed to promote multilingual interactional practices, we analyse how multilingual practices can also take place as subversive language play in an educational context that is driven by a monolingual norm. Our data are video-recorded lessons from secondary-level Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) classrooms in Finland in which students whose L1 is …
Ciència ciutadana contra prejudicis lingüístics: el projecte Milmots.eu
2017
La ciència ciutadana és un bon mecanisme per a fer recerca en l’àmbit de la demolingüística, ja que proposa la participació i l’arreplegada de dades del gran públic al mateix temps que genera una cultura científica en la societat. El projecte Milmots és una eina interactiva que neix amb l’objectiu de difondre, de conèixer i de compartir el nostre lèxic, les nostres paraules, associades als nostres pobles i les nostres comarques. L’elevat volum de mots i locucions recollit ha proporcionat un material idoni per a realitzar un estudi sociolingüístic que posa de manifest que les variables socials d’edat, àrea dialectal, nombre d’habitants de la població tenen una influència significativa sobre …
Valenza e insegnamento della lingua straniera
2015
This work deals with valency, a key syntactic notion whose chemistry-inspired label was established by Lucien Tesnière (1959), one of the most well-known contributors to the Prague Linguistic Circle. We will concentrate on two questions: (a) to what extent does valency play a role in Second Language Learning (SLL)?; and (b) what role should the use of valency play in language teaching practices? This paper will provide answers to these questions and propose reasons for motivating the use of valency in SLL.
Fluent Speakers of a Second Language Process Graspable Nouns Expressed in L2 Like in Their Native Language
2017
According to embodied cognition, language processing relies on the same neural structures involved when individuals experience the content of language material. If so, processing nouns expressing a motor content presented in a second language should modulate the motor system as if presented in the mother tongue. We tested this hypothesis using a go-no go paradigm. Stimuli included English nouns and pictures depicting either graspable or non-graspable objects. Pseudo-words and scrambled images served as controls. Italian participants, fluent speakers of English as a second language, had to respond when the stimulus was sensitive and refrain from responding when it was not. As foreseen by emb…
Hvordan kan teknologi skape nye undervisnings- og læringsmåter i fremmedspråksundervisningen fram mot 2030?
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Acta Didactica Norge. Also available from the publisher at: http://adno.no/index.php/adno/article/view/358/393 Open Access I denne artikkelen drøfter jeg hvordan teknologi kan skape nye undervisnings- og læringsmåter i fremmedspråksundervisningen fram mot 2030. Jeg starter med å skissere et mulig framtidsscenario i form av et blogginnlegg skrevet av en 15 åring i året 2030. Videre i artikkelen tar jeg utgangspunkt i dette framtids-scenarioet og sammenligner det med dagens situasjon, i tillegg til at jeg drøfter hva som må til for at scenarioet kan oppfylles. Læreren spiller en nøkkelrolle i utviklingen av nye undervisnings- og læringsmåter, og…
