Revisión del sistema pronominal español
2002
This article offers a critical review of the Spanish pronominal system (personal, possessive and demonstrative pronouns) as described in Nebrija's works and in those of the 16th and 17th century grammarians. These texts show that the history of grammatics is frequently a history of errors. In fact, the methodology conveniences they chose to establish regular models, led grammarians to false the reality of the language. Quite frequently also, as they intended to develop the grammatical thinking establishing certain categories or divisions among them, these authors originated errors that have been perpetuated in their texts. From my point of view, that is the case for pronouns. As has been de…
An Overview of Business Writing: Challenges and Solutions
2019
Abstract Bad writing can affect individuals and companies alike. It can cause confusion and misunderstanding, waste important resources of time and money, erode credibility and trust. On the other hand, clear writing will increase productivity, promote goodwill, and cement relations. This article discusses some of the most common problems encountered in business writing, together with their causes and the solutions proposed in the literature. Using too many words, an abstract vocabulary, and passive constructions will obscure the message and tire the reader. Conversely, the elimination of clutter, the use of plain words and personal pronouns, and the construction of sentences with clear sub…

Function Words Constrain On-Line Recognition of Verbs and Nouns in French 18-Month-Olds
2013
In this experiment using the conditioned head-turn procedure, 18-month-old French-learning toddlers were trained to respond to either a target noun (“la balle”/the ball) or a target verb (“je mange”/I eat). They were then tested on target word recognition in two syntactic contexts: the target word was preceded either by a correct function word (“une balle”/a ball or “on mange”/they eat), or by an incorrect function word, signaling a word from the other category (*“on balle”/they ball or *“une mange”/a eat). We showed that 18-month-olds exploit the syntactic context on-line to recognize the target word: verbs were recognized when preceded by a personal pronoun but not when preceded by a dete…
Le système composite du pronom de 3e personne en français
2014
La contextualisation de la description des formes du pronom de 3e personne en francais montre que celles-ci constituent un systeme composite representant un patchwork caracterise par l’utilisation d’elements empruntes a diverses categories grammaticales et par une tres grande asymetrie interne. La description habituelle des manuels de grammaire ne permet pas aux apprenants FLE d’apprehender la logique interne du systeme. Pourtant, les parametres selon lesquels les formes varient peuvent etre facilement identifies et decrits, et il est possible de fournir a l’apprenant un ensemble de regles precises grâce auxquelles il peut choisir la forme adequate du pronom.

The Unnatural Naturalness of Man-Narration and Daniel Sjolin’s Autobiographical Oron Bror Daniel Sjolin’s autobiographical debut novel Oron bror (2002) is about two brothers who are searching for their childhood home. During the journey, the little brother, the I-narrator, recalls detailed episodes from his past. In these retrospective chapters, narrated in present tense, the protagonist is referred to by the indefinite pronoun man. The article focuses on this peculiar narrative feature of Sjolin’s novel. Firstly, the article examines the functions of man in autobiographical context. The analysis of Sjolin’s novel shows that, on the one hand, man functions quite similarly to the more conven…
The Construction of Subjectivity
1991
The doctrinal antagonisms that have appeared in the history of philosophy have often been an expression of tensions existing in those very problems that have generated philosophical thinking. I think that the fundamental task of phenomenology must consist in the clarification of those problems, insofar as they are constituted by strictly phenomenal situations that have provided both the riddles provoking philosophical theories as well as the basic materials for their theoretical construction.
