Dynamic Multimodal Language Practices in Multilingual Indigenous Sámi Classrooms in Finland
2013
Starting from the premise that dynamic language practices are an emerging property of interaction, and that languages are learnt by participating in language practices, we focus in this chapter on the tensions and creativity that arise from complex, changing, and interconnected multilingual discourses, practices, and experiences in indigenous Sami classrooms. Drawing on longitudinal ethnographic and discourse-analytic research on a multilingual indigenous Sami community in Finland, we will examine the strategies and practices that a group of Sami children develop, use, and modify while navigating this complex terrain. We illustrate the various ways in which the children adopt and play with …
Romanian Village Halls in the Early 1950s: Between Cultural and Political Propaganda
2015
<p>Village halls [Romanian: cămine culturale] appeared in many European<br />countries and elsewhere as early as the nineteenth century and multiplied in the twentieth.<br />The presence of these institutions in the rural world, despite obvious differences in their<br />goals and activities, demonstrates a general interest in the cultural development of<br />villages, as well as the emergence and growth of leisure practices amongst peasants. This<br />essay is not a study of the history of village halls; rather, it focuses on the changes that this<br />institution underwent in the early years of the communist regime in Romania. It analyses<br /&g…
Mapping the political toponymy of educational namescapes: A quantitative analysis of Romanian school names
2019
Abstract This study sets out to map the political toponymy of Romanian schooling network. Starting from the theoretical premise that national memory is toponymically inscribed, inter alia, on a series of public organizations that form an institutional namescape, the paper reads the Romanian historical memory through the looking glass of school names. Exhaustive data was collected for the Romanian secondary schools bearing a nominal identity (N = 2850). Data were analyzed in terms of the ethnic and gender distribution, the social (occupational), spatial, and historical structures of the Romanian educational namescape. Our findings reveal that the political toponymy of the Romanian schooling …

The urban being between environment and landscape. On the old town as an emerging subject
2018
The landscape units of the Sicilian mountainous inland, as for the case of Petralia Soprana, are marked by the presence of ancient urban centres controlling the agricultural territory, from which they derived their own wealth, and to which they conferred landscape significance. The unity between economy and landscape has been interrupted by the radical transformation of the socio-economic structure and the technologic progress, which have eroded the consistency between structures and superstructures. We propose an assessment approach based on a synthesis of semiotic and phenomenological view. The approach mainly focuses on the basic concepts and contents of the valuation process that can be…
Differential expression levels of urokinase-type plasminogen activator and cathepsin D in locally advanced laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma: Clinica…
2002
The expression levels and the prognostic impact of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and cathepsin D (CD) were evaluated in patients with locally advanced laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). uPA and CD protein levels were determined by immunoluminometric or immunoenzymatic assays in the cytosol of paired sets of tumor tissues and corresponding adjacent normal mucosa (NLM) from 57 patients with stage III/IV LSCC and were correlated with a number of clinicobiological parameters of this tumor including anatomical site, tumor grade, nodal status, clinical stage, DNA ploidy, proliferation rate, and patient outcome. Median uPA levels were significantly higher in LSCC than in NLM (…
Percepción visual y traducción audiovisual: la mirada dirigida
2012
En este trabajo, partimos de la premisa de que las destrezas perceptuales innatas necesarias para entender una obra audiovisual son idénticas a las de la percepción visual natural (Grodal 1999: 76). La percepción es una forma inconsciente y natural de interpretar nuestro entorno gracias a la experiencia previa y al aprendizaje. Sostenemos, en contra de la creencia profundamente arraigada en Occidente de que la imagen es universal y verdadera, que la percepción visual es un proceso cognitivo determinado por la experiencia previa, el ambiente, el contexto, los valores culturales y la motivación. En este trabajo vamos a estudiar la aplicación de las investigaciones cognitivas sobre percepción …
That German Stuff : Negotiating linguistic legitimacy in a foreign language classroom
2018
This qualitative case study of one German suburban high school classroom in the Midwestern United States examines how learners of German negotiate their linguistic legitimacy, which is defined as discursively constructed acceptance or validation for their language use. Specifically, it investigates how the students negotiated legitimacy for using their target language German in their classroom. Based on the premise that linguistic legitimacy is crucial for the maintenance and development of speakers’ languages, data was collected and analyzed from classroom recordings, semi-structured interviews, and participant observations. Findings revealed that, while English dominated the lessons as th…
Manipulation of teenagers through advertising: a critical discourse approach
2011
[EN] The possible harmful effects of advertising in magazines aimed at teenagers have not lost relevance.Thus the aim of this article is to explore the linguistic characteristics used as foregrounding devices in a corpus of English advertisements aimed at teenagers. My underlying premise is that some linguistic messages or images convey information which is picked up by teenagers creating in them the desire to obtain certain products. In my analysis I attempt to ascertain, if any, what kind of linguistic control and what linguistic devices advertisers use to achieve their goal. Additionally, I try to find out to what extent the power of advertising has something to do with social problems r…
