Organizing Shared Digital Reading in Groups: Optimizing the Affordances of Text and Medium

2019

Children develop their language when they explore and talk about literary texts. In this study, we explore the design of shared digital reading as a basis for critical reflection on the reading situation in an institutional context with its given opportunities and limitations. We examine six videotaped readings of one specific picture book app, with a focus on the strategies used by teachers in early childhood education and care institutions to control children’s access to the medium and the types of verbal engagement (about the story and about the medium) that are generated by these different strategies. We use qualitative and quantitative analysis of video data. A qualitative categorizat…

Finns and Americans Compared on the Immediacy Construct

1991

The Self-assessment of Immediacy Scale was administered to 219 Finnish students and 147 American students. The two groups were not significantly different from each other in perceived nonverbal immediacy. When the men were compared to the women, the women were significantly more immediate.

#MeToo in school: teachers’ and young learners’ lived experience of verbal sexual harassment as a pedagogical opportunity

2020

Based on a case study of verbal sexual harassment experienced by a young female teacher and her 17-year-old student in a Norwegian upper secondary school, this article addresses challenges and strengths of drawing upon negative experiences of ‘lived injustice’ in class, arguing that such experiences can serve as a resource for education about, through and for human rights. Complementing this case study, we discuss a survey we have conducted among secondary school students (N=382), concerning how young learners report being sexually harassed and how often they experience that an adult intervenes in the situation. Combining the theoretical framework of human rights education (HRE) and the con…

Synthetic causativization strategies in Latin

2014

Synthetic causativization strategies in Latin Luisa Brucale University of Palermo Egle Mocciaro University of Palermo. Latin has diverse verbal strategies of causativization, which have been described in Lehmann (forth.) as ranking along an increasing degree of formal reduction: 1) complex sentences, in which a verb meaning “to cause” (e.g. facio “to do, make”, iubeo “to give an order” etc.) governs a subordinate finite clause (e.g. ut + subjunctive); 2) analytic constructions, which include a non-finite subordinate clause (e.g. accusative + infinitive). This type is the forerunner of the Romance type (cf. Simone and Cerbasi 2001; Chamberlain 1986); 3) derivational (synthetic) constructions…

Composizione verbale in latino: il caso dei verbi in -facio, -fico

2016

Oggetto di questo studio sono i composti verbali latini il cui secundo membro è un costituente verbale connesso con il verbo facio. Tenteremo di fornire una descrizione complessiva di queste costruzioni concentrandoci particolarmente su quei tipi che veicolano un significato causativo, come calefacio ‘rendere caldo’; labefacio ‘far vacillare’; amplifico ‘ampliare’ etc., e sulla relazione esistente tra i causativi morfologici (ove per morfologici intendiamo anche i com- posti) e gli altri mezzi che il latino possiede per codificare il significato causativo.

Associations of Sleep Quality, Anxiety, and Depression with Cognitive and Executive Functions among Community-Dwelling Women Aged 65 ≥ Years: A Cross…

2021

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the associations of sleep quality, anxiety, and depression with cognitive performance, executive functions, and verbal fluency among women aged ≥ 65 years. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 241 women (72.52 ± 3.93 years). Cognitive performance (Mini-Mental State Examination) and impairment (Montreal Cognitive Assessment), verbal fluency (Isaacs test) and executive function (Trail Making Test), Sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep quality Index) and anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) were determined. Results: The linear regression analysis indicated that anxiety, depression and age, were related to…

INHERENT TELICITY AND PROTO- INDO-EUROPEAN VERBAL PARADIGMS

2016

In recent aspectual classi}cations telicity is described as a compositional syntactic property, and verbs are analyzed as complex structures made up of completely neutral roots. However, semantic changes due to both derivational processes and di‰erent syntactic contexts could have obscured the relationship between root lexical aspect and verb morphological paradigms. The purpose of this paper is to show that telicity can be considered as an inherent lexical property: the co-occurrence in a sentence with arguments, adverbials or speci}c pragmatic contexts which can (de)telicize the event described by a verb has consequences at syntactic level, whereas the prototypical aspect of the root is p…

Literacy skills and online research and comprehension: struggling readers face difficulties online

2019

The present study evaluated the extent to which literacy skills (reading fluency, written spelling, and reading comprehension), together with nonverbal reasoning, prior knowledge, and gender, are related to students’ online research and comprehension (ORC) performance. The ORC skills of 426 sixth graders were measured using a Finnish adaptation of the Online Research and Comprehension Assessment. Results of a structural equation model showed that these ORC skills were divided into six highly correlated factors, and that they formed a common factor in ORC. Altogether, these predictor variables explained 57% of the variance in ORC. Reading comprehension, along with gender, was the strongest p…

SUSTANTIVOS DEVERBALES ALTERNANTES: PROPUESTA PARA UNA CLASIFICACIÓN DIFERENCIAL

2008

[EN] Since the point of view of Cognitive Linguistics, any linguistic form has its own menaing, therfore, any change in the form implies a change in its meaning. Given that, the main goal of this contribution is to systematize the meaning differenes among certain type of deverbal nouns. They share the same matrix verb, but they differ in their form, either because they use a different suffix or because they follow different derivational process.
