GraphoGame – a catalyst for multi-level promotion of literacy in diverse contexts

2015

GraphoGame (GG) is originally a technology-based intervention method for supporting children with reading difficulties. It is now known that children who face problems in reading acquisition have difficulties in learning to differentiate and manipulate speech sounds and consequently, in connecting these sounds to corresponding letters. GG was developed to provide intensive training in matching speech sounds and larger units of speech to their written counterparts. GG has been shown to benefit children with reading difficulties and the game is now available for all Finnish school children for literacy support. Presently millions of children in Africa fail to learn to read despite years of pr…

“Throwing into the Whirlwind Vortex”: Unaccounted Memoirs about Blok by S. Korenev

2021

The article examines certain plots of the “Blok theme” in the 1920s Riga periodicals, which had not previously attracted the attention of researchers. The Russian press of independent Latvia (1919 –1940) has preserved many tens, if not hundreds, of articles, correspondences, documents, poetic texts dedicated to A.A. Blok’s personality and works. Among them are memoirs of people who were familiar with the poet, met with him, listened to his speeches. However, most of these scattered memoirs remain forgotten and are not taken into account in the Blok studies. The author recalls the texts of V.V. Tretyakov, A.M. Perfiliev and republishes from the Riga newspaper “Slovo” a memorial article about…

2015 : « Le vouloir-dire et le silence des langues », dans Acta linguistica, Journal for Theoretical Linguistics, Banská Bystrica, Ekonomická fakulta…

2015

This paper deals with so-called “mind-saying” and “silence of languages”. These concepts mainly belong to cognitive linguistics and specifically to “linguistic neoteny” (theory of uncompleted speaker). Every human being develops a different cognitive relation with the languages he speaks. Nevertheless, those languages obligate him to accept cognitive restrictions to deal with quantity, quality and frequency of the formulations. The restrictions force the speaker to choose between the linguistic production (le dire) and the lack of linguistic production (le non-dire). In the first case, the enunciation is built with the units needed for the expression and the expressiveness of the language. …

ON-LINE CONSTRUCTION OF A SMALL AUTOMATON FOR A FINITE SET OF WORDS

2012

In this paper we describe a "light" algorithm for the on-line construction of a small automaton recognising a finite set of words. The algorithm runs in linear time. We carried out good experimental results on real dictionaries, on biological sequences and on the sets of suffixes (resp. factors) of a set of words that shows how our automaton is near to the minimal one. For the suffixes of a text, we propose a modified construction that leads to an even smaller automaton. We moreover construct linear algorithms for the insertion and deletion of a word in a finite set, directly from the constructed automaton.

Patterns of word reading skill, interest and self-concept of ability

2016

AbstractThe majority of previous research on academic skills, self-concept of ability and interest has deployed the variable-oriented approach and focused on self-concept, or ability, or interest only. This study examined the patterns and dynamics of pattern change in Finnish children’s word reading skill, self-concept of ability and interest from kindergarten to Grade 2. Six groups of children were identified by using the I-states as objects analysis (ISOA) procedure: (a) low skills, negative self-concept but high interest; (b) high skills but low interest; (c) average; (d) high skills, positive self-concept and high interest; (e) low skills, negative self-concept and low interest; and (f)…

Approximators and mitigators in Chilean Spanish: the case of 'como' and 'como que'

2019

espanolEn el presente trabajo se realiza un analisis del uso de los aproximadores como y como que en el espanol de Chile y la vinculacion de su valor semantico aproximador con la atenuacion pragmatica. Diversos son los trabajos que han otorgado al marcador como un valor aproximativo (Mihatsch, 2009, 2010; Jorgensen y Stenstrom 2009; Jorgensen, 2011; Holmvik, 2011; Kornfeld, 2013; Kern, 2014; Jimenez y Flores-Ferran, 2018) y tambien un valor atenuador (Briz, 1998; Jorgensen, 2011; Holmvik, 2011; Kornfeld, 2013, Panussis, 2016; Mondaca, 2017; Panussis y San Martin, 2017). Asi, el objetivo es analizar la relacion que existe entre la aproximacion semantica y la atenuacion pragmatica por medio d…

Automatic Generation of User Interfaces using the Set Description Language

2004

We present a paradigm to generate automatically graphical user interfaces from a formal description of the data model following the well-known model-view-control paradigm. This paradigm provide complete separation between data model and interface description, setting the programmer free from the low-level aspects of programming interfaces, letting him take care of higher level aspects. The interface along with the data model is described by means of a formal language, the Set Description Language. We also describe the infrastructure based on this paradigm we implemented to generate graphical user interfaces for generic applications. Moreover, it can adapt the user interface of a program to …

Modelización de riesgos climáticos y sistemas de vigilancia y alerta en la Comunitat Valenciana

2013

El primer objetivo de esta Tesis está relacionado con el desarrollo e implementación de diferentes sistemas de vigilancia y alerta para el territorio de la Comunitat Valenciana: un sistema de predicción meteorológica en tiempo real basado en el modelo atmosférico de mesoescala Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) y un sistema de previsión del Índice UV (UVI), basado en el modelo Santa Barbara DISORT Atmospheric Radiative Transfer (SBDART). Además, se propone una metodología que proporciona un entorno computacional adecuado para la administración y coordinación de los diferentes procesos implicados en ambos sistemas de vigilancia. La principal mejora de la predicción UVI es la utiliza…
