Impairments in proverb interpretation following focal frontal lobe lesions.

2012

The proverb interpretation task (PIT) is often used in clinical settings to evaluate frontal “executive” dysfunction. However, only a relatively small number of studies have investigated the relationship between frontal lobe lesions and performance on the PIT. We compared 52 patients with unselected focal frontal lobe lesions with 52 closely matched healthy controls on a proverb interpretation task. Participants also completed a battery of neuropsychological tests, including a fluid intelligence task (Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices). Lesions were firstly analysed according to a standard left/right sub-division. Secondly, a finer-grained analysis compared the performance of patients w…

SMS Messages in a Daily Finnish Newspaper : The Contect of Proverb Performances

2017

The article focuses on Finnish proverbs as a part of contemporary colloquial written language in everyday use and context. The article offers a view on what is happening with proverbs in the vernacular in Finnish everyday life. Most traditional Finnish proverbs originate from an agrarian context and still use agrarian language, even if nowadays they live in a new context with a new meaning. As empirical material this article uses a special case that demonstrates the use of proverbs in one Finnish newspaper: proverbs in SMS messages published as a letter to the editor in a newspaper. *** Avtorica se osredinja na finske pregovore kot del sodobnega pogovornega pisnega jezika v vsakdanji rabi i…

Idioms and fictional orality in Toni Cucarella’s narrative

2021

En aquest article s’estudien les unitats fraseològiques en quatre obres de Toni Cucarella en relació amb l’oralitat ficcional. La tradició d’estudis sobre l’oralitat ficcional analitza els recursos que evoquen l’oralitat en textos escrits o audiovisuals. Entre aquests recursos, en els darrers anys s’ha destacat la importància de certes unitats fraseològiques que són pròpies de la llengua oral i, en aparéixer en textos escrits, evoquen la llengua oral, com un mitjà per caracteritzar de manera versemblant els personatges. Analitzem la recurrència de les unitats fraseològiques i els motius que poden explicar aquesta recurrència. Les unitats fraseològiques més recurrents són les locucions verba…

Els textos en noves rimades de Ramon Llull:mètrica i escriptura del vers en les còpies de Guillem Pagès

2022

Aquest treball ofereix una descripció de conjunt dels fenòmens de versificació que presenten tres textos de Ramon Llull: Pecat d’Adam, l’opuscle D’oració (cinquena part de la Medicina de pecat) i l’Aplicació de l’Art general. La tria respon a un doble criteri: tots tres textos són escrits en el mateix esquema de versificació (noves rimades) i de tots tres se’n conserven còpies manuscrites fetes per un mateix copista, Guillem Pagès. L’anàlisi mètrica i estròfica dels textos permet observar els criteris de regularitat mètrica que segueix l’autor i el tipus de llicències que aplica en aquests textos. L’estudi de les còpies de Pagès, a més, posa de manifest l’atenció que presta aquest copista a…
