Aspecte i prefixació verbal en català antic
2021
The paper examines aspectual and selectional properties of Old Catalan prefixed verbs in comparison with their non prefixed counterparts. We ground our analysis on Talmy’s (1985, 2000) notion of verb framed and satellite framed languages and on Mateu (2002, 2003) and Mateu & Rigau (2002) theory of lexical structure, and we argue that telicity and other aspectual properties associated with prefixed verbs are by effects derived from the semantic value of the prefix together with the lexical structure they give rise to. Taking as a case in point the a- prefix of verbs such as «acórrer», we analyse the prefix as a path which relates a figure (the grammatical subject) to a ground (the argument i…
Evolution of nurses' social representation of hospital hygiene: From training to practice
2011
Nurses' social representations of hospital hygiene were analyzed. A cross-sectional method was used to compare and analyze the social representations of the concept domain of "hospital hygiene" across three independent groups of participants (N=744). The groups included: (a) professional nurses (N=114); (b) student nurses (N=315); and (c) psychology students (N=315). Comparisons were drawn: (a) between professionals and students; and (b) between student nurse cohorts at three different levels (years) of training. The results show an ongoing evolution of the social representations of hospital hygiene during training and in the course of professional practice. The representation of hospital h…

Modelling Quoting in Newswriting : A Framework for Studies on the Production of News
2019
The Mediated Social Communication (MSC) approach considers mass media a venue for opposing and complementary societal groups to publicly negotiate socially relevant topics. This negotiation is conducted through representatives of these groups and mediated by journalists. Inspired by the MSC approach, this paper presents an empirically grounded model that structures the mediating process through the process of quoting. By identifying the key phases of newswriting as sub-processes of quoting, the paper argues that journalists (1) decide on a topical issue to be addressed (topicalisation), (2) identify groups of people who are linked to this issue (societal localisation), (3) pick some people …
Discurso de entrenadores de balonmano en función de variables derivadas de la competición: introducción a una perspectiva secuencial
2017
El foco de la presente tesis doctoral se sitúa sobre la figura del entrenador. Dada la creciente importancia del deporte a nivel económico, financiero, político y mediático, el número de estudios sobre entrenadores es sorprendentemente pequeño (Mowat, 2004). El mismo autor añade que para los entrenadores es evidente que se sabe mucho más sobre la preparación de sus equipos, lo que favorece el rendimiento y el desarrollo de los jugadores y lo que constituye una buena práctica, que sobre los mismos ámbitos referidos a ellos mismos. Todos los entrenadores están muy bien entrenados para analizar las tácticas del oponente al detalle; sin embargo, el problema aparece cuando tienen que explicar de…
Die Abwertung des Anderen mittels Sprache. Einflussfaktoren bei der Bewertung alltäglicher verbaler Gewalt im Amateurfußball
2020
International audience; The present study seeks to examine the underrepresented transnational phenomenon of everyday verbal abuse in amateur football. Based on 34 semi-structured interviews with German and French amateur referees, a contrastive sociolinguistic model was developed which allows to identify type-specific influencing factors on the evaluation of verbal abuse. Although individual referee related characteristics have similar values across different types, especially the high intrinsic motivation, active communication, the disturbing influence of third parties, and the identification of alleged perpetrator groups, the comparative analysis shows that personal ambition, knowledge of…
Lexical Substitution and Paraphasia in Advanced Dementia of the Alzheimer Type
2017
Abstract The paper presents the case study of lexical selection in Alzheimer-type dementia. Lexical substitutions in poem recitation and conversations of a Russian speaker, who suffered Alzheimer-type dementia, were analyzed on the background of the lexical retrieval and slip-of-the-tongue phenomena. The classification of the substitutions is worked out on the basis of the links between a target word and its substitutions. The current context plays an essential role as natural priming for a substitution in a poem recitation. Some words have predisposition to be lost; the units belong to the figurative language or to the category of infrequent lexemes. In conversation, the patient masked fai…
Warum Faszinierendes im Polnischen ‘intrigiert’? Von verbalen falschen Freunden im Sprachenpaar Deutsch-Polnisch
2018
The so-called false friends are known to be a potential source of interference in translation and foreign language learning. In the relevant literature concerning linguistic Polish-German pairs, false friends are often illustrated on the example of noun pairs. This article is devoted to false and true verbal friends when, especially in the case of true friends, not only convergence of meaning is taken into consideration but also possible differences in their use or alternatively their usualness.
“If you can’t stand the meat, stay out of the kitchen” : Translation of verbal humour in television series Coupling
2009
Suurin osa Suomessa näytettävistä televisio-ohjelmista on vieraskielisiä. Monet näistä ohjelmista ovat komedioita, joissa huumori usein perustuu sanaleikkeihin ja verbaaliseen huumoriin. Tästä syystä on tärkeää kiinnittää huomiota näiden televisio-ohjelmien suomenkielisiin käännöksiin. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, millä tavoin kääntäjät selviytyvät hankalista ja usein mahdottomista sanaleikeistä sekä kulttuuriin liittyvästä huumorista. Tarkoituksena on myös ottaa selvää, mitä eri strategioita kääntäjä käyttää hankalaa vitsiä kääntäessään. Tämän tutkimuksen aineistona käytettiin brittiläistä komediaohjelmaa Paritellen, koska samankaltaisia tutkimuksia on aiemmin tehty amer…

In the 21st century alone there have already been released plenty of computer-animated comedy-adventure cartoons that have become blockbusters in a very short time. America-based animation studios, such as the worlds oldest Walt Disney Animation Studios (1934), Pixar Animation Studios, DreamWorks Animation, Blue Sky Studios, or the most-recently established Illumination Entertainment (2007), have all been entertaining not only children themselves, but whole generations of viewers, including those childrens parents (e.g. the author of this article), grandparents, and great grandparents as well. Titles such as Shrek (2001), Ice Age (2002), Finding Nemo (2003), Tire Lion King III - Hakuna Mata…
