The Phono(im)politeness: (Dis)courtesy prosodic marks in Spanish spoken. Their study via oral corpus
2013
En este artículo se intenta mostrar la relevancia de los mecanismos fónicos, y particularmente de la entonación, para la expresión de cortesía o descortesía verbales. La descripción de tal relación se lleva a cabo a partir de una selección de fragmentos de habla que han servido para fundamentar nuestra hipótesis de partida y que proceden de un corpus diverso: por un lado, de conversaciones coloquiales (Briz y Grupo Val.Es.Co, 2002); por otro, de dos series de TV emitidas por la cadena Antena 3 (Manos a la obra, capítulo: "¡Cómo está el patio!" y Doctor Mateo, capítulo: "De cómo Mateo comprende que eso que siente son celos y no indigestión") y, finalmente, otros son ejemplos derivados de inv…
Quantifying English and Polish Lolitas: A Corpus-Driven Stylistic Comparison
2013
The study presented in this article, which is a fragment of a larger study of translational and non- translational texts (Grabowski 2012), falls within the scope of descriptive translation studies (DTS) and corpus linguistics, with particular emphasis on the study of translation universals, on the example of English-original (written in 1955) and two independent Polish translations of the novel Lolita by V. Nabokov (by Stiller in 1991 and Klobukowski in 1997). According to Baker (1995: 243), universal features of translation or translation universals, constitute specific textual characteristics (e.g. lexical, grammatical or stylistic) typical of translated texts, irrespective of languages i…
Comparison between different surface treatment methods on shear bond strength of zirconia (in vitro study)
2020
Background To compare the effect of Er:YAG Laser and Air particle abrasion (APA) surface treatments on shear bond strength of Y-TZP to composite resin cuboids in the presence and absence of primer application and salivary contamination. Material and methods Seventy-two cuboidal shaped specimens 7x7x3 were prepared from Y-TZP using CADCAM, cleaned and sintered. Specimens were divided into 2 main groups (n=36) according to surface treatment method; Air particle abrasion (A) and laser (L). Each group was subdivided into 2 subgroups (N = 18) according to surface modification using primer; each subgroup was further divided into 2 subdivisions (N=9) according to the presence of salivary contamina…

Quality assurance of decision-making in conversations between professionals and non-professionals: identifying the presence of deliberative principles
2012
The ideal of dialogue is at stake in professional conversations. The aim of this study is to develop an instrument that makes it possible to compare principles of deliberation with what actually takes place in professional conversations. The developed instrument is tested on one patient's conversation with his doctor about lifestyle changes, and meetings where pupils with learning disabilities and their parents discuss further schooling with school representatives. Although in need of refinement, the conclusion is that the instrument provides meaningful insight into how much each participant 'contributes' to the decision-making process and 'behaves' during the conversation.

Instrument Validation to Measure Teachers' Perceptions of Universal Design for Learning
2019
Resumen: El diseño universal para el aprendizaje (dua) ha sido estudiando en los últimos años como modelo para responder a la diversidad en el aula. Sin embargo, hay pocas investigaciones que proporcionen datos sobre su eficacia. El objetivo de este artículo es validar una herramienta que permita evaluar las percepciones basadas en dua de los profesionales, a través del análisis factorial confirmatorio de una muestra de 230 profesionales. Para ello, una escala fue creada con 26 ítems: 9 ítems para el principio 1, 8 ítems para el principio 2 y 9 ítems para el principio 3. Los resultados muestran que la escala tenía una solución confirmatoria válida de tres factores, índices de confiabilidad …
