Heterocyclic systems containing antimony (III) -VIII . Hypervalency by intramolecular 1,5-chelation Sb · · · N in rings RSb [ (CH2) 3] 2NR′ (NR′ = NM…
1998
Abstract Eleven antimony compounds RSb [ (CH2) 3] 2 NR′ and eight germanium compounds R2Ge [ (CH2) 3] 2 NR′ (some combinations of R = Cl, I, NCS, OSiPh3, Ph, and NR′ = NMe, NBz, NBui) have been synthesized by diGrignard reactions and subsequent treatment with AgSCN, Ph3SiONa or PhLi. The compounds were compared to 14 Sn, 1 As, 5 Sb and 4 Bi analogues taken from the literature. Evidence is provided for 1,5-chelation Sb · · · N via crystal structure determinations (5+1 (lit) Sb compounds) , 13C- and 29Si-NMR chemical shifts, 12;Sb and 12;I Mossbauer data (11 and 3 Sb compounds, respectively) , cyclic voltammetry (9 Sb compounds) and semi-empirical MO calculations on the Extended Huckel level …
Synthesis and characterization of mixed catecholate and 1,10-phenanthroline complexes of antimony(III), C6H4O2SbX·1,10-phenanthroline (X F, Cl, Br,…
1982
Abstract The title compounds have been easily synthesized by reacting antimony(III) catecholates, C 6 H 4 O 2 SbX, with 1,10-phenanthroline. The infrared spectra of the solids are in accordance with a chelating behaviour of the phenanthroline ligand and the molecular monomeric nature of the fluoride derivative. In the case of the chloride, and possibly also for X Br and I, infrared data are better interpreted admitting a consistent ionic SbX bond interaction. The conductance data for their methanolic solutions also indicate a distinctive behaviour of the fluoride derivative, this being weakly ionized, whereas the remaining halides behave as 1:1 electrolytes. The main features of the mass…
Digital Storytelling and Multimodal Literacy in Education
2014
This article argues in favour of using digital storytelling to encourage a critical socio-educational focus in education and include multimodal explicit teaching in the curriculum. The analysis of fifty digital stories indicates that the students developed a certain awareness of the issue chosen for their story (e.g. violence, racism, war) since the final product transmits a critical perspective on the topic itself. Further work, however, needs to be invested in the development of the digital story content itself and on the issue of multimodal learning, with especial emphasis on the interface between multimodal elements and more traditional modes of transmitting ideas.
A multimodal analysis of facework strategies in a corpus of charity ads on British television
2013
Abstract The aim of this article is to carry out a qualitative multimodal analysis of the codification of verbal and non-verbal politeness strategies in a sub-corpus of five charity commercials aired on British television. Brown and Levinson's (1987) verbal politeness strategies are taken as a starting point together with a detailed analysis of facework that is realized through paralinguistic and extralinguistic modes of communication ( Kress and van Leeuwen, 2006 , Machin, 2010 ). In what we have identified as the problem phase of the commercial, our analysis has revealed that advertisers deliberately attempt to create threats to the viewer's positive and negative face by making him/her fe…
‘Philonikia’ e ‘timoria’ nel ‘logos’ di Ermocrate a Gela e nell’‘Olimpico’ di Lisia
2016
The aim of the paper is to underline that some themes are both in the logos of Hermocrates of Syracuse in Gela and in the Olimpic Oration of Lysias. Purposely, two of these are the theme of philonikia , which Thucydides defined «insane», and the theme of timoria , when the revenge is legitimate and advantageous at same time. The use of such slogans by the Attic orator (even if his father was from Syracuse), testifies the desire to evoke the feeling pansikeliote awaked during the Peace of Gela, in order to spread these themes and values in Mainland Greece too.
Individual and Collaborative Semiotic Work in Document Design
2017
This article examines the concepts of agency, transformation and transduction in the context of document design. These concepts have been previously used to describe communicative actions and sign-making among individuals: whereas agency focuses on the individual’s capabilities as a sign-maker, transformation and transduction describe how individuals transform meanings within one mode of communication or from one mode to another. Organizational communication, however, is rarely an individual effort, particularly in corporate settings: producing multimodal documents that communicate on behalf of entire organizations, such as annual reports, constitutes a collaborative effort involving a vari…
Un viaje por el infierno, de Alberto Gamboa: escritura testimonial e imaginario de la reconciliación
2015
ResumenEl artículo analiza el testimonio Un viaje por el infierno, de Alberto Gamboa,que articuló el imaginario periodístico del que provenía su autor y la escrituratestimonial que había sido de gran importancia en el exilio, pero que había carecido de espacios de expresión en el Chile de la dictadura. El autor analiza el modo en que el testimonio de Gamboa puso en contacto por primera vez las características enunciativas de las escrituras testimoniales con el imaginario de la reconciliación nacional.Palabras clave: Testimonio, dictadura chilena, reconciliación nacional, libro reportaje Un viaje por el infierno by Alberto Gamboa: testimonial writing and imaginary of the Reconciliation…
Crossing Modalities: A Cognitive Semantics Perspective on Quoting
2015
Elaborating on Talmy (2007a, forthcoming) and Lampert (2013, 2014), this follow- up study probes into quoting as an attention-and modality-sensitive phenomenon at the interface of speech and writing, taking inaugural addresses from Kennedy to Obama as cases in point. Lexicalized to redirect some attention from a quotation’s referential content to concomitants closely associated with it, quotatives medium-specifically prime speech-internal properties of their targets, animating the ‘other voice’ through prosodic and gestural prompts in face-to-face interactions, while figural prompts demarcate verbatim citations in print. Quotations from pre-scripted videotaped presidential inaugurals reveal…
“Nature needs you”: discursive constructions of legitimacy and identification in environmental charity appeals
2022
Abstract This study traces how discursive constructions of legitimacy and identification are enacted textually and visually with respect to environment-oriented causes, such as landscape or species restoration. Such conservation projects actually clash with human economic priorities typical of the Anthropocene. Drawing on models of social trust and assuming the discursive nature of legitimacy and identification, we explore how environmental charity organizations represent their conservation efforts, reproduce sustainability discourses and advocate self-regulatory practices. We use a sample of mission statements and donation appeals by six prominent environmental charities from the UK. Throu…
Constructing female identities through feminine hygiene TV commercials
2009
Abstract In this paper we report the results of a qualitative multimodal analysis of a corpus of Spanish and British TV ads featuring female hygiene products such as tampons, liners and sanitary towels/pads. We contend that advertisers of menstruation-related products employ a wide range of strategies to convey both overt information about the products advertised, as well as to – and more importantly – indirectly transmit stereotypical beliefs of women which inevitably helps reproduce and sometimes perpetuate a gender-biased type of discourse ( Holmes and Marra, 2005 ). Crook's (2004) distinction between the product-claim and the reward dimension in ads has been taken as the starting point …
