2021
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread several months ago from China and it is now a global pandemic.

Fake News Spreaders Detection: Sometimes Attention Is Not All You Need
2022
Guided by a corpus linguistics approach, in this article we present a comparative evaluation of State-of-the-Art (SotA) models, with a special focus on Transformers, to address the task of Fake News Spreaders (i.e., users that share Fake News) detection. First, we explore the reference multilingual dataset for the considered task, exploiting corpus linguistics techniques, such as chi-square test, keywords and Word Sketch. Second, we perform experiments on several models for Natural Language Processing. Third, we perform a comparative evaluation using the most recent Transformer-based models (RoBERTa, DistilBERT, BERT, XLNet, ELECTRA, Longformer) and other deep and non-deep SotA models (CNN,…
Apéndices interrogativos: el caso de ‘¿no ve?’ en el español de los bilingües aymara-español
2022
This paper offers an insight to the description of the tag question ¿no ve? in the variety of Spanish spoken by bilinguals of Aymara-Spanish. The analysis identifies the relation between the position of ¿no ve? and its pragmatic functions. Furthermore, it displays the multidimensionality of this tag question that may operate on different conversational layers at the same time. The study also describes the impact of social factors (sex, age and education) on the use of ¿no ve?. The original data used for the present analysis comes from the Corpus oral del español hablado por bilingües de aymara-español (Quartararo 2021).
El Llibre de menescalia de la Societat Castellonenca de Cultura
2017
The library of the Societat Castellonenca de Cultura (Castello de la Plana) keeps a Catalan manuscript on menescalia (veterinary medicine) virtually unknown to the specialists. Here we provide a diplomatic description, a presentation of its content, and particularly a first linguistic analysis. Our study allows us to locate its elaboration in the mid-14th century within the area of Morella, and to attribute it to a paraire or to a merchant. The manuscript is currently in the process of being edited.

Adapting marketing strategies: a linguistic analysis of wine advertising in Spain, 1970-2010
2019
The Spanish wine sector has undergone a series of changes in the last decades, particularly due to the decreasing domestic demand and the growing international competence. Consequently, Spanish wineries have had to adapt to this new situation by adopting new marketing policies. The aim of this study is to explore to what extent these new policies have been applied by means of the linguistic analysis and comparison of different types of advertisement in specialized printed media, focusing on the specific frequency of the most used word families in adverts from the 70s to present day. A corpus of 640 adverts has been compiled. We have particularly paid attention to the words that have been us…

Strategy and business history rejoined : How and why strategic management concepts took over business history
2022
Scholars at the intersection of business history and strategic management have argued for the relevance and importance of historical methods in the study of strategic management of organizations. We flip this argument and ask about the role of strategic management concepts in the study of business history. We analyze volumes of Business History and Business History Review and a representative sample of business history books using a comprehensive set of keywords, each related to a specific sub-discourse in strategic management. Our results show that as scientific communities, business history and strategic management have become increasingly similar in their conceptual overlap. This study c…

Background The COVID-19 pandemic is a traumatic individual and collective chronic experience, with tremendous consequences on mental and psychological health that can also be reflected in people’s use of words.
