Algorithms and Organizing
2022
Abstract Algorithms are a ubiquitous part of organizations as they enable, guide, and restrict organizing at the level of everyday interactions. This essay focuses on algorithms and organizing by reviewing the literature on algorithms in organizations, examining the viewpoint of relationality and relational agency on algorithms and organizing, exploring the properties of algorithms, and concluding what these mean from an organizational communication viewpoint. Algorithms need data to be collected. The data are always biased, and algorithms exclude everything that is not in their code. They define what is seen as important. Their operating principles are opaque, and they are political due to…
Cortesía verbal y competencia lingüística : la petición cortés como tradición discursiva
2017
Muchas técnicas de atenuación lingüística están estrechamente ligadas a estrategias de cortesía verbal. Un clásico en este contexto son las preguntas del tipo ¿Puedes pasarme el pan, por favor? que funcionan como petición cortés. La cuestión central es cómo esta conocida técnica de la petición cortés puede ser situada en el sistema de la competencia lingüística según Eugenio Coseriu. Resulta preciso aclarar si se trata de tradiciones idiomáticas que pertenecen al saber lingüístico o si se trata de una tradición discursiva y cultural que se realiza en una o varias lenguas, pero que no forma parte de estas lenguas. En el campo de la atenuación lingüística y de la cortesía verbal esta diferenc…
Figuras interaccionales y propósito comunicativo en conversaciones coloquiales, entrevistas periodísticas y entrevistas del proyecto PRESEEA
2020
espanolEste trabajo explora la creciente conversacionalizacion de los discursos mediaticos a partir de un analisis contrastivo del genero entrevista frente a dos generos vecinos: la conversacion coloquial y la entrevista sociolinguistica. Para ello, en primer lugar, se comparan los patrones interaccionales de los tres generos mediante una herramienta de visualizacion. Los resultados muestran que la entrevista periodistica es mas cercana a la conversacion que la sociolinguistica. En segundo lugar, se argumenta que algunas de las diferencias estructurales observadas pueden explicarse a partir del proposito comunicativo. Las particularidades del genero conversacion se relacionan con la ausenci…

Is recursion language-specific? Evidence of recursive mechanisms in the structure of intentional action
2014
In their 2002 seminal paper Hauser, Chomsky and Fitch hypothesize that recursion is the only human-specific and language-specific mechanism of the faculty of language. While debate focused primarily on the meaning of recursion in the hypothesis and on the human-specific and syntax-specific character of recursion, the present work focuses on the claim that recursion is language-specific. We argue that there are recursive structures in the domain of motor intentionality by way of extending John R. Searle's analysis of intentional action. We then discuss evidence from cognitive science and neuroscience supporting the claim that motor-intentional recursion is language-independent and suggest so…
Early communicative gestures and play as predictors of language development in children born with and without family risk for dyslexia
2014
The present study investigated early communicative gestures, play, and language skills in children born with family risk for dyslexia (FR) and a control group of children without this inheritable risk at ages 12, 15, 18, and 24 months. Participants were drawn from the Tromsø Longitudinal study of Dyslexia (TLD) which follows children's cognitive and language development from age 12 months through Grade 2 in order to identify early markers of developmental dyslexia. Results showed that symbolic play and parent reported play at age 12 months and communicative gestures at age 15 months explained 61% of the variance in productive language at 24 months in the FR group. These early nonlinguistic …
Intercultural Communicative Competence: Obstacles Faced by NESTs, NNESTs and Learners
2022
This paper looks at three possible actors in the ELT classroom: learners, non-native English speaking teachers (NNEST) and native English speaking teachers (NEST). Each particular group has a need to acquire the skill of intercultural competence. For the learners, it is a necessary element alongside their knowledge of the language to be effective in real-life intercultural communications. For the teachers, it is to be sensitive to their learners from other cultures, to have a neutral bias to whichever of the L1 or L2 cultures is not their own, and also to enable incorporation of intercultural content effectively into the English lesson. The paper examines the obstacles to achieving Intercul…
Il modello Brain-based e gli Habits of mind per potenziare la competenza linguistico-comunicativa nei futuri docenti. The Brain-based Model and the H…
2017
L’alternanza tra ricerca neurodidattica e le correlate teorie sulla mente, all’interno del dibattito scientifico nazionale, consentono una applicazione a diversi contesti disciplinari con l’intento di una complessiva implementazione del processo di insegnamento/apprendimento. Gli approcci glottodidattici di tipo brain-based, con particolare riferimento al Braingym (Mac Lean, 1975; Dennison, 2008) e le attività didattiche volte a consolidare gli Habits of Mind (Costa – Kallick, 2008) sono le cifre definitorie della ricerca qui descritta, condotta con 205 studenti del secondo anno del corso di laurea in Scienze della Formazione Primaria dell’Università di Palermo nell’A.A. 2015-2016. Attraver…
THE HABITS OF MIND AND THE BRAIN GYM FOR ENHANCEMENT OF TEACHERS’ COMMUNICATIVE-TEACHING COMPETENCE
2021
The hints offered both by Neuroeducation research and by the theories on the mind, within the national scientific debate, encourage reflection on possible ways of implementing the teaching / learning process. Communicative teaching approaches such the Brain-based ones, with particular reference to ‘Brain-gym’ (Mac Lean, 1975, Dennison, 2010) and educational activities aimed at developing the Habits of Mind (Costa & Kallick, 2008) are the keynotes of the present research, carried out with 385 secondary school teachers working in the province of Caltanissetta during the school year 2020/2021. Through the research process we wanted to verify the validity of the Brain-based model in order t…
Don't skip intro. Sigle da non perdere
2019
In recent years, TV series have gained a central role among the classic TV genres. They have become more and more elaborate, strategically edited, catching both the critics and the audiences’ eyes. Many «surrounding» texts have contributed (and contribute) in making them popular and, among these texts, the opening credits play a special part. At the beginning of television history, opening sequences were brief and marginal texts aimed at informing the viewer about the cast and the contents he was going to watch. Nowadays they are refined products, designed to present, seduce, involve and facilitate the viewer’s entry into the story. In this paper, we will focus on these brief yet rich kind …
