A Design-Oriented Analysis of Multimodality in English as a Foreign Language
2018
This empirical article investigates multimodality in English as a foreign language, both as seen in the use of multimodal texts as artefacts and pedagogical texts for learning, and through an analysis of the multimodal learning designs. We present observations from a year 10 classroom in Norway that worked with the novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (Alexie, 2007). We explore a four-week teaching sequence, asking how different modes were involved when the educator designed literacy events around the novel, and how multimodality is present in the students’ meaning making. Our aim is to make explicit and discuss some of the silent literacy practices in English teaching at l…
Possession and volition in the development of modal meanings: a case-study from Sicilian
2019
This article analyses two Sicilian modal constructions involving vuliri 'want' + infinitive and aviri a ‘have to’ + infinitive. They are used to express modal values, both non-epistemic and epistemic, and futurity. Based on Langacker's Cognitive Grammar assumptions, we describe the semantic network associated with each modal, as well as their semantic overlap. In addition, we describe how modal values interact with temporal-aspectual inflection. Our analysis shows that the epistemic values of vuliri are quite peripheral, while aviri a shows a high degree of polysemy, both in the non-epistemic and in the more abstract epistemic domain. The non-epistemic-to-epistemic shifts depend on the cont…
Modal verbs, future and grammaticalization in Old Catalan : a cognitive approach
2015
The process of grammaticalization of Catalan modal verbs deure, haver and tenir involves a semantic change, a rise of new meanings and an increase in their semantic network. On the one hand, deontic modal verbs develop inferential evidential meanings, and, on the other, future meanings (posteriority).This corpus-based study focuses on the rise of future meanings of modal verb deure ('must') (between the 12th and the 16th centuries). We have been able to analyse the process of grammaticalization with absolute reliability thanks to the applied technology of the Corpus of Old Catalan (CICA and CIGCA), in which linguistic variation is quite representative. This study takes a cognitive perspecti…

Modālu un fāzes verbu kombinācijas konstrukcijās ar nenoteiksmi
2018
Maģistra darba „Modālu un fāzes verbu kombinācijas konstrukcijās ar nenoteiksmi” mērķis ir apskatīt iespējamās kombinācijas, kas sastata izteicējā veidojas, modālajiem verbiem vajadzēt, gribēt un varēt kombinējoties ar citiem modālajiem verbiem un fāzes verbiem konstrukcijās ar nenoteiksmi. Līdz šim latviešu valodniecībā skatīta atsevišķu modālo verbu semantika, bet nav pētītas modālo verbu kombinācijas. Maģistra darbu veido 4 nodaļas, kurās apskatīta modalitātes teorija, verbu, t. sk. modālo un fāzes verbu, lietojums palīgnozīmē. Analizējot modālo verbu semantiku sastata izteicējā, ekscerpēti piemēri no „Līdzsvarotā mūsdienu latviešu valodas tekstu korpusa”. Konstatēts, ka svarīga loma mod…

O Brasil na rota das migrações internacionais qualificadas espanholas no século XXI
2018
In order to understand recent migration, it is crucial to analyze the migratory modalities such as skilled international migration to Brazil, especially considering the ongoing transnational economic processes and their effects on the corresponding societies. Therefore, this article seeks to understand how the migratory dynamics of highly skilled Spanish professionals to the country are established taking into account the theoretical contribution of the circulation of brains and the category of knowledge workers. For this purpose, information from Brazilian?s Ministry of Labor is used on labor authorizations, financial contributions and insertion in the formal market in Spain; as well as da…
Intermediaalinen kirjallisuus
2022
Teos on ensimmäinen intermediaalista kirjallisuutta ja kirjallista intermediaalisuutta käsittelevä suomenkielinen kokonaisesitys. Kaikenlaiset mediat, myös kirjalliset, limittyvät teknologioiden moninaistumisen myötä yhä tiiviimmin arkeen ja elämään. Laajimmillaan intermediaalisuus viittaa kaikkiin sellaisiin ilmiöihin, joihin tavalla tai toisella liittyy useampi kuin yksi media. Mediaalisuuden painoarvo merkityksen muodostumisessa, taiteessa, kulttuurissa, vallankäytössä ja politiikassa kasvaa alati. Intermediaalisen kirjallisuuden aiheet liikkuvat H. P. Lovecraftista Puluboihin ja Don DeLillosta The League of Extraordinary Gentlemeniin. Myös kirjallista hiljaisuutta, kinekfrastisia novell…
