Materials per a l'anàlisi multilingüe i contrastiva de locucions, col·locacions i fraseologia. Un escandall quant a Ausiàs March i «Tirant lo Blanch»
2006
This essay offers a sampling of a multilingual contrastive analysis of poems by Ausiàs March and the ones in «Tirant lo Blanch» (original versions and their respective translations) as regards locutions, collocations and phraseology. These elements are fully characteristic of the literary language of any author and, at the same time, they indicate his degree of command of his vehicular language or of the language for literary creation. In addition, they turn out to be important –and often problematic– questions as far as their translation is concerned, precisely because the text has to be ‘naturalised’ in the receiving language and its cultural tradition. And this is so because, while trans…
Especialització i reinterpretació en les expressions idiomàtiques
1995
It can be shown that the semantic specialization of idioms is a matter of degree, and that semantic interpretation is not just a question of bottom-up compositionality or literal-to-figurative transfer: the reinterpretation processes that can be observed in idioms point to the existence of top-down and figurative-to-literal interpretations.
Metabarcoding Analysis of Fungal Diversity in the Phyllosphere and Carposphere of Olive (Olea europaea)
2015
The fungal diversity associated with leaves, flowers and fruits of olive (Olea europaea) was investigated in different phenological stages (May, June, October and December) using an implemented metabarcoding approach. It consisted of the 454 pyrosequencing of the fungal ITS2 region and the subsequent phylogenetic analysis of relevant genera along with validated reference sequences. Most sequences were identified up to the species level or were associated with a restricted number of related taxa enabling supported speculations regarding their biological role. Analyses revealed a rich fungal community with 195 different OTUs. Ascomycota was the dominating phyla representing 93.6% of the total…

Linguistic Prosody and Comprehension of Idioms and Proverbs in Subjects of School Age
2012
Abstract A crucial component of language is represented by the prosodic system because it provides essential elements to speaker about how a sentence should be interpreted or intended (Fodor, 2002). Increasing interest from researchers also relates to the understanding of figurative language (Levorato, & Cacciari, 2002). In the figures of speech that the speaker wants the listener intends something more or different than what is explicitly stated (Glucksberg, 2001). In particular, prosodic intonation is crucial in the resolution of syntactic ambiguity and structural features that constitute the complex messages, such as idioms and proverbs. A crucial component of language, therefore, is rep…
Data from: Give me a sample of air and I will tell which species are found from your region – molecular identification of fungi from airborne spore s…
2018
Fungi are a megadiverse group of organisms, they play major roles in ecosystem functioning, and are important for human health, food production, and nature conservation. Our knowledge on fungal diversity and fungal ecology is however still very limited, in part because surveying and identifying fungi is time demanding and requires expert knowledge. We present a method that allows anyone to generate a list of fungal species likely to occur in a region of interest, with minimal effort and without requiring taxonomical expertise. The method consists of using a cyclone sampler to acquire fungal spores directly from the air to an Eppendorf tube, and applying DNA barcoding with probabilistic spec…
Les actes capitulars de la Seu de Xàtiva (segle XVIII). Estudi i edició
2015
Les actes capitulars de la Seu de Xàtiva (segle XVIII). Estudi i edició, constitueix un estudi sobre la importància del llenguatge administratiu eclesiàstic dintre de l’edat moderna, un període que havia estat tradicionalment menystingut sobretot a partir de denominacions que no eren massa propícies. És de tots sabut el tractament negatiu que ha rebut la llengua catalana i la seua literatura produïda entre els segles XVI i XVIII —tant des del punt de vista dels escrits més creatius com des dels altres camps: escriptura privada, textos administratius, judicials, processals, legislatius, eclesiàstics... No fa encara massa, hom sempre emprava el terme «Decadència» per a caracteritzar aquest pe…
A Comparative Analysis of Piotr Borkowski's (1963) and Roman Gajda's (1970) English–Polish Phraseological Dictionaries: Practice vs. Theory
2022
This paper offers an insight into the short and largely unexplored history of English–Polish and Polish–English phraseological lexicography. It aims to analyse two post-war English–Polish phraseological dictionaries, An English–Polish Dictionary of Idioms and Phrases (1963) by Piotr Borkowski and Wybór idiomów angielskich [A Selection of English Idioms] (1970) by Roman Gajda, from a qualitative and quantitative perspective. At first sight, they seem to share several features, insofar as both are monoscopal English–Polish volumes of a similar size; both were addressed to Polish learners of English; and both drew on The Kosciuszko Foundation Dictionary: English–Polish (1959), an exhaustive re…
"Listening to you, I get the music”: The Who, "Tommy" i forma opery rockowej
2017
Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą częściowej analizy podgatunku muzycznego opery rockowej na podstawie tekstu Tommy grupy The Who. Ta hybrydowa forma, która, w szerokim znaczeniu pop musicalu, wywodzi się z amerykańskiej muzyki popularnej, w kontekście brytyjskim parodystycznie odwzorowuje niektóre elementy strukturalne klasycznej opery, wykorzystując przy tym wyraźnie rockowy idiom. Narodziny i okres świetności podgatunku przypadają na koniec lat sześćdziesiątych i początek siedemdziesiątych dwudziestego wieku, a pierwszym brytyjskim albumem, który nazywa się operą rockową, jest skomponowany głównie przez Petera Townshenda Tommy (1969), forma wywodząca się z wcześniejszych eksperymentów artysty…
The Fuzzy Concept of Idiom and What It Might Mean for Bilingual Dictionaries
2019
Linguistic categories were developed as tools for describing language systems and making them easier to learn. However, like many theoretical concepts and systems, they do not fully represent the real world and, in some cases, seek to imprison linguistic units within a well-ordered system – a procrustean bed as it were. Besides, although the most general categories are universal, the lower-ranking ones are often language-specific. Idiom (or phraseologism) is a very unclear linguistic concept, subject to never-ending debate. However, a strict adherence to categorisation is observable in practical bilingual lexicography and phraseography. This may lead to unwanted compartmentalisation and a…
