Anthroponyms in health care interventions
2016
Nuestro objetivo es estudiar los nombres propios que los profesionales de la sanidad utilizan para referirse y dirigirse a los pacientes en la atención asistencial. Para realizar esta investigación hemos elaborado primeramente, un gran corpus de antropónimos empleados en este tipo de interacción a partir de múltiples fuentes. Seguidamente hemos analizado, clasificado, descrito y explicado los datos obtenidos. La hipótesis es que el antropónimo constituye un elemento relevante en la relación personal sanitario/ paciente pero su uso resulta complejo. Para probar esta complejidad designativa dedicamos las siguientes páginas, que hemos dividido en tres partes: introducción, análisis de cuestion…
The teaching of frozen expressions through the graphic novel Persépolis
2019
The constant search for suitable teaching materials to achieve the linguistic skills provided by a language teaching course, finds in authentic documents an important instrument for teaching foreign languages. The scientific literature attesting to the effectiveness of the authentic material is wide and consolidated; indeed, a text conceived by a native for a native, and, therefore, not developed for the sole purpose of teaching a foreign language, is intrinsically carrying a cultural richness and a linguistic variety, which are rarely present in any didactic artifact. The authentic material therefore represents an opportunity to meet the fixed expressions that are part of the communicative…
Expressing evidentiality through prosody? Prosodic voicing in reported speech in Spanish colloquial conversations
2015
Abstract The present paper attempts to establish the evidential character of the special prosodic configuration associated with direct reported discourse (DRD). A variety of expressive meanings have been commonly attributed to this marked prosodic configuration of DRD (such as expression of stance, emotion, mimicking, alignment). However, the concurrence of pragmatic/expressive meanings together with evidentiality is very frequent in ‘non-evidential’ languages like Spanish. Therefore, we argue that the prosody in DRD also signals ‘reported’ or ‘quoted’ discourse and, therefore, the presence of evidentiality. To provide evidence for this latter claim, 449 instances of DRD have been extracted…
Apreciaciones sobre la cuestión de la norma en el análisis de la interlengua
2015
La norma desempeña un papel fundamental en el ámbito de la adquisición de las segundas lenguas (ASL), tanto en el proceso de aprendizaje-enseñanza que se desarrolla en el aula como en la investigación sobre la lengua de los aprendientes. Una lengua solo puede ser descrita a partir de un referente que se erige como el estado de lengua meta para el aprendiente, por lo que determina la selección y el tratamiento de las muestras de lengua aportadas en el aula, y, asimismo, se constituye como modelo con el que se contrasta el output lingüístico del alumno. En este trabajo pretendemos determinar 'tanto desde una perspectiva teórica como aplicada' los aspectos que deben ser considerados a la hora …
Literature and Interpretative Communities - Literary Communication: On Relevant Concepts and Empirical Applications in Finland
1990
The interaction between a literary text and its readers is controlled by a variety of commercial, cultural and other factors. In literary communication, that which is aesthetically mediated enters the practical world of moral values or knowledge. Depending on the point of view adopted, we speak of the 'consumption', the 'use', or 'the reception' of literary works and their message The article discusses both the relevant concepts of literary com municatton and their empirical applications in Finland. The main focus is on studies that have shed light on the themes connected with the concept of intepretative community' Research findings concerning the temporal meaning shifts of literary works…
Defensive and Defective Stance in Translation and Translation Criticism in Latvia between the Wars (1918–1940)
2016
Abstract Latvia's independence period saw translations on a massive scale. The range of source languages was growing, with English overtaking German (German was also the main intermediary language). The literature translated was also extremely varied, as was quality. The choice of works to be translated was in the hands of translators and publishers, who thought of marketing interests. The agents of translation (translators and publishers) pursued mainly defective stance in translation, while criticism staunchly supported defensive stance. Translations always numerically surpassed native production in the domain of novels. The variety of translation scene came to an abrupt end with the sovi…
The Bruce–Roberts Number of A Function on A Hypersurface with Isolated Singularity
2020
AbstractLet $(X,0)$ be an isolated hypersurface singularity defined by $\phi \colon ({\mathbb{C}}^n,0)\to ({\mathbb{C}},0)$ and $f\colon ({\mathbb{C}}^n,0)\to{\mathbb{C}}$ such that the Bruce–Roberts number $\mu _{BR}(f,X)$ is finite. We first prove that $\mu _{BR}(f,X)=\mu (f)+\mu (\phi ,f)+\mu (X,0)-\tau (X,0)$, where $\mu $ and $\tau $ are the Milnor and Tjurina numbers respectively of a function or an isolated complete intersection singularity. Second, we show that the logarithmic characteristic variety $LC(X,0)$ is Cohen–Macaulay. Both theorems generalize the results of a previous paper by some of the authors, in which the hypersurface $(X,0)$ was assumed to be weighted homogeneous.
Assembling Reminders for a Particular Purpose: Paolozzi’s Ephemera, Toys and Collectibles
2019
This chapter addresses the centrality of environmental installations in Paolozzi’s late production and the relevance that the practice of “assembling reminders for a particular purpose” holds in his understanding of the artist’s profession, further constituting another aspect of affinity with Wittgenstein. In order to do so, Mantoan examines three aspects that are instrumental to understand Paolozzi’s ‘collecting mood’ that led him to assemble a rich variety of items, ephemera, toys and objects of popular culture: the first one concerns the likely origins of this attitude, grounded in his childhood years, as well as in the influence of Parisian Surrealism and American mass culture; the seco…
The Lyapunov dimension formula for the global attractor of the Lorenz system
2015
The exact Lyapunov dimension formula for the Lorenz system has been analytically obtained first due to G.A.Leonov in 2002 under certain restrictions on parameters, permitting classical values. He used the construction technique of special Lyapunov-type functions developed by him in 1991 year. Later it was shown that the consideration of larger class of Lyapunov-type functions permits proving the validity of this formula for all parameters of the system such that all the equilibria of the system are hyperbolically unstable. In the present work it is proved the validity of the formula for Lyapunov dimension for a wider variety of parameters values, which include all parameters satisfying the …
Analysis of singular bilinear systems using Walsh functions
1991
The use of Walsh functions to analyse singular bilinear systems is investigated. It is shown that the nonlinear implicit differential system equation may be converted to a set of linear algebraic Lyapunov equations to be solved iteratively for the coefficients of the semistate x(t) in terms of the Walsh basis functions. Solution of the iterative algorithm is uniformly convergent to the exact solution of the algebraic generalised Lyapunov equation of the singular bilinear system. The present method is slightly more complicated than a similar one arising from the analysis of linear singular systems. In fact, it is a hybrid between the analyses of usual linear singular and bilinear regular sys…
