Hibridisme i autoreferència en el fantàstic d'Espiral, de Manuel Baixauli

2018

The aim of this paper is to define and to analyse the fantastic universe of short stories by Manuel Baixauli published in the volume Espiral (2010), an original and highly significant example of modern fantastic literature that has abolished the real and imaginary borders, that is to say a significant example of fantastic literature conceived as a language phenomenon. The conception of reality integrates and naturalises the supernatural and the irrational in a vision that joins multiple dimensions and perspectives of reality. The self-referential component is also of essential importance in this fantastic, which assimilates and exhibits themes and motifs of inherited traditions in a fully c…

Dodatno svjedočanstvo. Fotografije u prozi Daše Drndić

2020

In this paper I will reflect on the role of photographs in the works of Daša Drndić. Mixing fictional and documentary modes is a characteristic feature of her texts. It is achieved among others by utilizing visual representations of the past. In my paper I aim to outline the strategies of visualization applied by the authoress (especially the traumatic, Holocaust-related experience), which materialize through photographs included in her works of literature. In the case of Drndić the visuals include for instance contemporary or archival photographs of places marked by the Holocaust and of Jewish inhabitants of Vienna as well as portraits of war criminals. Generally speaking, in her texts the…

How an idea germinates into a projext or the intransitive resultative construction with Entity-Specific change-of-state verbs

2014

[EN] This study discusses how seven of Levin’s (1993) entity-specific change-of-state verbs (i.e. bloom, blossom, flower, germinate, sprout, swell, and blister) are subsumed into the intransitive resultative construction by highlighting and making use of the external and internal constraints proposed by the Lexical Constructional Model (LCM; Ruiz de Mendoza and Mairal 2007). External constraints refer to cognitive mechanisms such as high-level metaphor and/or metonymy whereas internal constraints are concerned with the encyclopedic and event structure makeup of verbs. The Internal Variable Conditioning constraint is at work when the information encapsulated by a predicate determines the cho…

Meaning Construction for Biodynamic Osteopathy Terms in Translation Practice

2021

This article belongs to the interface of terminology and translation studies and aims to describe the principles of meaning construction in the translation of field-specific terms in biodynamic osteopathy. The central problem of the study presented in this paper deals with identification and analysis of measurable components of meaning of terminological units. The data for the study comprises a corpus of 210 English terms in the field of biodynamic osteopathy translated into French, Italian, Russian and Latvian. Following the analysis of the meanings of the terms through their contextual uses, it is possible to assess other factors that contribute to the content of these units.Methodologica…

The Polysemy of the verbs «pegar», «apegar» and «empegar» in Catalan : a synchronic manifestation of semantic change

2015

In this paper we study the polysemy that the verbs pegar ('hit/stick'), apegar ('stick') and empegar ('stick') possess today in the Catalan language. First of all, we perform a thorough description of the meanings that each of these verbs have acquired not only in the standard but also in the colloquial language. Each of the meanings has been differentiated from the others by analysing the most prominent dictionaries currently available and a corpus of written texts. Additionally, a number of surveys on the spoken language have also been taken into account. Our research has shown that in the different Catalan dialects they do not always have the same meanings or the same verb forms. To be a…

Deux Grammaires Françaises Pour Espagnols (XVIIe Siècle)

1997

Two French Grammars Published in Spain During the XVIIth Century In this article, after a brief review of the historical context of the XVIth and XVIIth centuries (especially of the franco-Spanish context), we describe two grammars made to teach French to Spaniards. The first one, written by a Spaniard, is included in the school of the general and philological grammar, developed in Spain during the XVIIth century, which, from a paedagogical viewpoint, is based in the analysis. The second one, included in the school called «grammaires des observations», is based, from a methodological viewpoint, in the learning of the grammatical forms.

Retórica y sofística: la cuestión antifontea desde el punto de vista lingüístico

2003

In this paper it is analysed the frequency of a given number of linguistic features within the corpora of the traditionally so called Antiphon the Orator and Antiphon the Sophist. The aim is to determine, by means of statistics, the linguistic and stylistic criteria that might allow to point out or at least to suggest that the works attributed to them could be assigned to the same hand.

Complexity and interaction: comparing the development of L1 and L2

2011

In research into first and second language development, the focus has mainly been either on the formal features of learner language alone (both L1 and L2) or on the interaction between learners and their caretakers (L1) or native speaker peers (L2).These research traditions have been kept a part even though it has been widely acknowledged that both first and second languages are appropriated essentially in social interaction. This paper aims to strengthen the connection between social and formal approaches by combining interactional views with those focusing on the structural complexity of learner language. Some excerpts from L1 and L2 interaction data (in the Finnish language) are discusse…

La Gramatica de la Lengua Vulgar de España (Lovaina, 1559), ¿anónima?

2021

Para demostrar la autoría de la Gramatica de la Lengua Vulgar de España nos basamos en los siguientes puntos: el uso en El Concejo i Consejeros del Príncipe (Amberes, 1559) de Furio Ceriol de las normas ortográficas propuestas en la Gramatica; la denominación de la lengua castellana o española como lengua ‘vulgar’ de España, en la misma obra de Ceriol; las ideas lingüísticas contenidas en la Gramatica y en Bononia de Ceriol; la organización retórica de la Gramatica; y, en último lugar, la comparación entre el poema dedicatorio en la Gramatica y los de las obras de Furio Ceriol.
