Myths of Primitiveness: A Barthean Interpretation of Rhetorical Devices in Early Jazz Criticism
2013
Ever since jazz began to make an impact in white aesthetic culture in the late 1910s and 1920s, critics, regardless of whether they celebrated or condemned the music, enmeshed their discourse with images of exoticism, noble savageness, and racial brutishness. As Jazz Studies emerged as an academic discipline, scholars have shown increasing interest in exposing these images in order to illustrate the pervading racist sentiment inscribed within white perception of the jazz idiom and also to establish the connections between jazz and the modernist obsession with primitivism. The aim of this paper is to contribute further study to the intricacies of primitivism through a close examination of th…
Impact of repeating somatic cues on the depth of experiencing for withdrawers and pursuers in emotionally focused couple therapy
2021
Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, an experiential modality, views emotion central to therapeutic change. In this exploratory study, we examined therapists' repetition of somatically focused interventions (therapist verbalizing somatic cues, such as facial expressions) and their impact on clients' emotional experiencing in-session. We also assessed difference for withdrawing versus pursuing partners. The sample included 13 EFT therapists who worked with one couple each for a single session. From transcripts we coded therapists' repetition of somatically focused interventions and clients' depth of experiencing pre-and post-intervention. Multilevel modeling demonstrated that a higher number …
Repetition times for Gibbsian sources
1999
In this paper we consider the class of stochastic stationary sources induced by one-dimensional Gibbs states, with Holder continuous potentials. We show that the time elapsed before the source repeats its first n symbols, when suitably renormalized, converges in law either to a log-normal distribution or to a finite mixture of exponential random variables. In the first case we also prove a large deviation result.
Anglicisms and Italian Equivalents in the Era of Covid-19: A Corpus-Based Study of Lockdown
2020
The whole globe has been going through an unprecedented historical moment since World War II. COVID-19, the disease against which we have all been trying to defend ourselves for several months now, has spread worldwide with a significant impact in all spheres of life. With the pandemic outburst and English the language of globalization, several Anglicisms have entered the lexicon of other languages, especially Italian, traditionally open to foreign words. COVID-19-related Anglicisms are used in Italian to such an extent that we can reasonably refer to them as the ‘language of pandemic’. The English words and expressions employed in Italian to refer to the current disease are numerous. Some …
Retoriskie līdzekļi IKEA satura mārketinga tekstos

Mūsdienu patērētāji dod priekšroku zīmoliem, kuru vērtību sistēma ir tāda pat kā šo patērētāju. Viņi atzīst par labāku individualizētu pieeju sev, izklaidējošu saturu, kurā dalīties ar saviem kontaktiem, daudz vizuālās informācijas un emocionālus stāstus. Tāpēc bakalaura darba mērķis bija izpētīt, cik plaši IKEA izmanto retoriskos līdzekļus satura mārketinga tekstos IKEA tīmekļa lapā Apvienotajā Karalistē, lai izraisītu pozitīvu klientu atbildes reakciju. Tā kā IKEA tiek uzskatīts par satura mārketinga gigantu no IKEA Apvienotās Karalistes mājaslapas tika izvēlēti 20 raksti, kuri tika analizēti.

Prevalencia e influencia de la violencia homofóbica sobre la sintomatología depresiva y el nivel de autoestima
2020
Las personas homosexuales y bisexuales constituyen un colectivo sobre el que se ejerce violencia. Este estudio analiza la prevalencia e influencia que ejerce la violencia homofóbica sufrida a lo largo de la vida sobre la sintomatología depresiva y el nivel de autoestima. La muestra está compuesta por 730 personas homosexuales o bisexuales con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y los 60 años (M = 28.47; DT = 8.81). Los resultados indican que entre el 29.6% y 76.7% ha recibido violencia psicológica o verbal y entre el 4.2% y el 19.6% ha sufrido violencia física a lo largo de su vida. También se obtienen diferencias significativas según el género, siendo los hombres quienes refieren mayores tasa…

The interdependence of repetition and relevance in university lectures
2012
Abstract The world of professional communication includes so many innovative practices that a 25-century-old typology on repetition like Aristotle's or even a 40-year-old theory on relevance like Grice's might seem obsolete or hardly appealing for today's lecturers. This research aims to examine and illustrate the interdependence between relevance and repetition in current lecturing by firstly reviewing the main communicative strategies used to indicate relevance in this genre, highlighting the essential role of repetition when understanding and processing relevant information. After providing an account of the most frequent repetition mechanisms lecturers currently employ, a corpus of busi…
Sublexical effects on eye movements during repeated reading of words and pseudowords in Finnish
2011
The role of different orthographic units (letters, syllables, words) in reading of orthographically transparent Finnish language was studied by independently manipulating the number of letters (NoL) and syllables (NoS) in words and pseudowords and by recording eye movements during repeated reading aloud of these items. Fluent adult readers showed evidence for using larger orthographic units in (pseudo)word recoding, whereas dysfluent children seem to be stuck in a letter-based decoding strategy, as lexicality and item repetition decreased the NoL effect only among adult readers. The NoS manipulation produced weak repetition effects in both groups. However, dysfluent children showed evidence…
Koiné y aticismo en el tratado de Galeno Sobre los procedimientos anatómicos
2017
El tratado Sobre los procedimientos anatómicos ofrece un extenso corpus para el estudio de la lengua literaria de Galeno. La naturaleza de ésta ha sido alineada tanto en las filas de un aticismo moderado como en las del antiaticismo. Frente a esta segunda opción, que abunda en la definición de la obra desde una óptica que excluye todo fin literario de la misma, los frecuentes recursos retóricos muestran un buen conocimiento de la prosa artística por parte de nuestro autor. Ahora bien, el análisis de la lengua demuestra que está basada en la koiné no literaria.
