The Translation of Nursery Rhymes into Spanish: A Methodological Framework
2018
El objetivo de esta tesis es el estudio de nursery rhymes (rimas infantiles) desde una perspectiva traductológica. La traducción de estas rimas anglosajonas se encuentra de una forma cada vez más extendida en español, en ejemplos escritos y audiovisuales, donde en ocasiones aparecen de forma intertextual y fragmentada. Para proponer una discusión teórica y un marco formal en este ámbito específico de investigación, se inicia la tesis con una contextualización de términos, con la intención de establecer la posición de las nursery rhymes en relación con la infancia, la literatura infantil y su traducción. Las características orales de las nursery rhymes (su origen, patrón rítmico común, music…
Accelerating early language development with multi-sensory training
2012
This paper reports the outcome of a multi-sensory intervention on infant language skills. A programme titled ‘Rhyming Game and Exercise Club’, which included kinaesthetic–tactile mother–child rhyming games performed in natural joint attention situations, was intended to accelerate Finnish six- to eight-month-old infants’ language development. The participants were 20 infants (10 training group children and 10 control children). Their cognitive skills and both receptive and expressive language skills (Bayley Scales III) were tested three times (pre-, post- and follow-up assessments). The groups differed significantly in receptive language skills at the baseline, in favour of the controls. Th…
Przyjaciele dzieci: Filip Neri, Urszula Ledóchowska, Jan Bosko w wierszowanych opowieściach z serii "Święci uśmiechnięci" Elizy Piotrowskiej
2020
When describing the figures of saints, Eliza Piotrowska follows the order set by hagiography. However, it does not mean the reproduction of the cultural stereotype of a saint to which we have been accustomed by religious literature and folklore. We will find many images and motifs transferred from fictionalised biographies of “wondrous children.” Bearing in mind the small audience, she replaces seriousness with humour, which dominates all levels of the text. The author is not afraid to juxtapose book protagonists with contemporary children, which she also illustrates herself. She reaches for anecdotes, jokes, aphorisms, and different points of view. The author’s narrative and graphic skills…
Children's orthographic representations and linguistic transparency: Nonsense word reading in English, French, and Spanish
1998
AbstractThree experiments were conducted to compare the development of orthographic representations in children learning to read English, French, or Spanish. Nonsense words that shared both orthography and phonology at the level of the rhyme with real words (cake-dake, comic-bomic), phonology only (cake-daik, comic-bommick), or neither (faish, ricop) were created for each orthography. Experiment I compared English and French children's reading of nonsense words that shared rhyme orthography with real words (dake) with those that did not (daik). Significant facilitation was found for shared rhymes in English, with reduced effects in French. Experiment 2 compared English and French children's…
Los ritmos y la rima de la versificación goetheana en las versiones métricas del Fausto en español
2013
Los pocos traductores que han intentado hacer una traducción en verso del Fausto de Goethe no han logrado, en la mayoría de los casos, hacer justicia a la diversidad métrica de la obra del autor alemán. Algunos han abandonado por completo la idea, e.g. Pedro Gálvez en 1984, mientras que otros han creado un poema con métrica tradicional del español tomándose libertades excesivas en cuanto al contenido original del Fausto, tal como sucede en la versión de 1882 de Teodoro Llorente o en las de Valverde (1963) y Silvetti Paz (1970), quienes han empleado, en algunos casos, versos que parecen pentámetros yámbicos sin rima, una medida inusual en la poesía en español y que sin embargo resulta en oca…
A Comparative Analysis of Translations of Lucian Blaga’s Poetry into English
2020
Abstract The complexity of Lucian Blaga’s poetry is a matter of common knowledge. Part of this complexity is related to the elements of prosody that Blaga skilfully employs, to say nothing of the philosophical vein which infuses his writings, and which derives, understandably, from his philosophical work. Mention should also be made of the lyrical character of Blaga’s dramatic works, which adds significantly to the effort of translating his writings into English, or any other language for that matter. In what follows, we intend to offer a bird’s eye view of the volumes that have been translated into English and to analyse a selection of poems comparatively, in order to signal challenges and…
Degree of elaborative processing in two implicit and two explicit memory tasks
1992
The level of elaborative processing made by subjects to pairs of words (read vs. generated) and the degree of relationship between the words of each pair (related, rhymed, or rhymed and related) were manipulated on two explicit tasks (cued recall and recognition) and two implicit tasks (word-stem completion and tachistoscopic word identification) to test the empirical validity of the processing-approach theory (see, e.g., Roediger, 1990a, 1990b; Roediger, Srinivas, & Weldon, 1989) of explicit/implicit dissociations. Results give support to the predictions made by Roediger"s theory.
To correct or not correct the erroneous utterances of children: teacher‐initiated organisation of repair in the L2 pre‐primary education classroom
2010
ABSTRACT The research reported on a qualitative study of feedback given in one Finnish pre‐primary education group which integrated English into the programme as a first foreign language. The study was based on the authentic video‐recorded observations of actual pre‐primary teaching sessions (N = 11 lessons). The findings suggested that the reactions of the teachers to child errors depended on the types of errors made by children. The study discussed the tension present in feedback giving when balancing between the aim of maintaining the early interest of children in language learning and the purpose of paying attention to correct ways of using the target language. The data were analysed by…

El arte de poesía castellana. Desde el pensamiento poético de Encina hacia una colección digital de tratados poéticos
2017
This paper presents the project Poetriae, focusing on the steps already taken and on the ongoing work, as well as on its methods and future steps. Mainly, Poetriae aims at building a digital library of Medieval and Golden Age Castilian poetry treatises. It will create digital editions for them, by philologically marking up each metrical and poetic concept in an unambiguous way, in order to allow treatises to be retrievable not just by bibliographic metadata, but also by key concepts, such as poetic genre, stanza types, rhyme, etc. The project also intends to enable automatic analysis and visualizations of such data. Design and application of specific vocabularies for poetry and metrics are …
