Ar krāsām saistītu frazeoloģisko vienību tulkošana no spāņu uz latviešu valodu
2015
Darba tēma ir ar krāsām saistītu frazeoloģisko vienību (FV) tulkošana no spāņu uz latviešu valodu. Darba mērķis ir apkopot galveno teoriju par frazeoloģiju un tās tulkošanu, pielietot to glosārija veidošanā ar krāsām saistītu FV tulkojumiem no spāņu latviešu valodā, analizēt tulkošanas rezultātus, kā arī apskatīt tos no semantiskā aspekta. Galvenie secinājumi ir tādi, ka biežākie gadījumi konkrēto FV tulkojumos ir daļējas ekvivalences, kuri izraisa vislielākās grūtības, parādot problemātisko tulkošanas procesu. Gadījumos, kad ekvivalenta nav, labākā stratēģija leksikogrāfijas sfērā ir aprakstošs tulkojums. Turklāt, no semantiskā aspekta konkrētie UF neparāda būtiskas atšķirības starp abām k…
Problems and Issues in Translating International Educational Achievement Tests
2013
The article reviews research and findings on problems and issues faced when translating international academic achievement tests. The purpose is to draw attention to the problems, to help to develop the procedures followed when translating the tests, and to provide suggestions for further research. The problems concentrate on the following: the unique and demanding purpose of the translation task, the partly contradictory task specifications and translation instructions, the indecision as to whether to produce one or two target versions, the indecision as to whether to use one or two source versions, inadequate revision and verification, deficient translator competences, and a lack of time.…
International Education Studies: Increasing Their Linguistic Comparability by Developing Judgmental Reviews
2012
In international education studies, the different-language test versions need to be equally difficult to read and answer for the test to be valid. To ensure comparability, several quality control procedures have been developed. Among these, surprisingly little attention has been paid to judgmental reviews and their ability to identify language-related sources of bias. Also, the reviews have often failed in identifying biases. This paper explored whether it is possible to improve the ability of judgmental reviews to identify language-related sources of bias. A new review was made of two Finnish items which in the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) 2000 reading test showed …

Problems of translating the laws of Rugby Union from English into Finnish
2014
Tässä käännösteoreettisessa opinnäytetyössä tutkitaan rugbyn sääntöjen kääntämisessä ilmeneviä käännösongelmia sekä tapoja ratkaista niitä. Työ on kommentoitu käännös englanninkielisten rugbysääntöjen otteista, ja tutkimusaineistona on 9 englanninkielistä rugbysääntöä. Työssä analysoitiin ensin lähdetekstin urheilukieli, lakikieleen viittaavat ilmaukset sekä lähdetekstin tarkoitus eli skopos. Tämän jälkeen säännöt käännettiin suomeksi, ja kääntämisessä kohdatut käännösongelmat analysoitiin hyödyntämällä Katarina Reissin ja Hans Vermeerin skoposteoriaa sekä Christiane Nordin funktionaalista lähestymistapaa käännösongelmiin. Kääntämisessä kohdatut ongelmat ratkaistiin teorian pohjalta, kääntä…

Effects of musical valence on the cognitive processing of lyrics
2014
The effects of music on the brain have been extensively researched, and numerous connections have been found between music and language, music and emotion, and music and cognitive processing. Despite this work, these three research areas have never before been drawn together in a single research paradigm. This is significant as their combination could lead to valuable insights into the effects of musical valence on the cognitive processing of lyrics. Based on the feelings-as-information theory, which states that negative moods lead to analytic, systematic and fine-grained processing, while positive moods encourage holistic and heuristic-based processing, the current study (n = 64) used an e…
Music, emotion, and time perception: the influence of subjective emotional valence and arousal?
2013
The present study used a temporal bisection task with short (< 2 s) and long (> 2 s) stimulus durations to investigate the effect on time estimation of several musical parameters associated with emotional changes in affective valence and arousal. In order to manipulate the positive and negative valence of music, Experiments 1 and 2 contrasted the effect of musical structure with pieces played normally and backwards, which were judged to be pleasant and unpleasant, respectively. This effect of valence was combined with a subjective arousal effect by changing the tempo of the musical pieces (fast vs. slow) (Experiment 1) or their instrumentation (orchestral vs. piano pieces). The musica…
Emotion Elicitation: A Comparison of Pictures and Films
2016
Abstract Pictures and film clips are widely used and accepted stimuli to elicit emotions. Based on theoretical arguments it is often assumed that the emotional effects of films exceed those of pictures, but to date this assumption has not been investigated directly. The aim of the present study was to compare pictures and films in terms of their capacity to induce emotions verified by means of explicit measures. Stimuli were (a) single pictures presented for 6 s, (b) a set of three consecutive pictures with emotionally congruent contents presented for 2 s each, (c) short film clips with a duration of 6 s. A total of 144 participants rated their emotion and arousal states following stimulus …
La nobleza valenciana del Quinientos: lo social y su nomenclatura
2019
Panorámica del estado, la situación y los problemas que aquejaron a la nobleza valenciana durante el siglo XVI desde una perspectiva comparativa, aunque necesariamente selectiva. Se ha prestado una atención especial a la jerarquía nobiliaria, a su nomenclatura específica y a las fórmulas de tratamiento y cortesía que permiten conocer con cierta precisión los diferentes estatus o escalones nobiliarios. Se abordan también otros problemas «clásicos» de la historia social: poder y representación política, servicio a la corona, linaje, honores, títulos, patrimonio, rentas, señoríos, jurisdicciones, ingresos, gastos, endeudamiento, impacto expulsión de los moriscos, familia, matrimonio, papel de …
