Salvador Pons Bordería (ed.): Discourse Segmentation in Romance Languages. Ámsterdam/Filadelfia, John Benjamins, 2014, 276 páginas. ISBN: 97890272565…
2015
La segmentacion del discurso en unidades es una cuestion de interes y de suma importancia para los estudios que versan sobre el discurso o que lo toman como muestra. Dividir el discurso en unidades permite observar ciertas regularidades y distribuciones de fenomenos linguisticos que, de otra forma, pasarian desapercibidas. En las lenguas romance existe toda una corriente de investigacion dedicada a la busqueda de modelos teoricos y unidades de analisis que, a lo largo de los ultimos quince anos, ha ido desarrollandose y concretandose en diferentes propuestas de segmentacion para lenguas como la espanola, la italiana o la francesa. La obra resenada ilustra el desarrollo de esta corriente y c…
The changing schoolscape in a Szekler village in Romania: signs of diversity in rehungarization
2015
In this paper, we explore the connections between a linguistic landscape and language ideologies in an elementary school in a village within the Hungarian region of Szeklerland in Romania. This ‘schoolscape’ is analysed as a display or materialization of the ‘hidden curriculum’ regarding the construction of linguistic and cultural identities. We draw on fieldwork carried out in 2012 and 2013 and examine two dimensions of change in progress: (1) changes in the use of Hungarian and Romanian as languages of teaching and learning and as languages of written administration; and (2) changes in the display of these languages in the schoolscape. Since 1990, there has been a tendency towards rehunga…
Els discursos fundacionals sobre el català

This paper attempts to draw a general perspective, from the main aspects that take part in them, of the discourses on the origin and the appearance of Catalan language that have been proposed since there has been works of historical reflection on this language.

Sense pretendre l’exhaustivitat, se citen autors i o…
German Romantic Tradition in John Ashbery’s "Where Shall I Wander"
2019
In popular critical and readerly reception, the New York School of poetry was shaped mostly by what Marjorie Perloff calls the tradition of indeterminacy. This was started by Arthur Rimbaud and, a few decades later, developed by Dadaists and Surrealists. Therefore, the tradition of French modernism seems to have been vital for John Ashbery, Frank O’Hara, James Schuler, and Barbara Guest, and the poets themselves appeared to confirm this fact. They often visited France privately and as scholars, and lived there for extended periods of time. In the case of John Ashbery, his year-long Fulbright fellowship was prolonged to a decade. Moreover, the New York School poets contributed to the propaga…
Seis suspiros en la literatura clásica española
2017
El artículo acomete el análisis de seis «suspiros» estratégicamente seleccionados entre textos poéticos y narrativos importantes de la literatura clásica española (el Cid, el Romancero, el Abencerraje, Garcilaso, el Quijote, el Persiles). Atendiendo a factores textuales y contextuales, estrictamente literarios y ampliamente culturales, el análisis de esos suspiros muestra la relevancia de los mismos dentro de las obras en las que aparecen, así como sus implicaciones a diversos niveles, demostrando en último término el talento de los escritores que los han recreado.
Vashti and the Golden legend: A pagan queen turns saint?
2014
Hagiographic texts establish a narrative template for shame, avoidance of shame, what looks like death wish in courtly literature. Scenes of shame and its avoidance through death are adapted and folded into romance and other genres and affect how characters behave and are described and gendered. This article treats saints' lives as literary texts and identifies the language used for female saints in the Old French and Old Occitan versions of the Legenda aurea and uses that codified language to compare the hagiographic text with a vernacular Jewish narrative: the Occitan Romans de la reina Ester, written in octosyllabic rhyming couplets by Crescas Caslari in 1327. This codification gives ins…
El lèxic cortès i cavalleresc en <em>Curial e Güelfa</em>: mots patrimonials i interferències culturals
2015
Curial and Guelfa, by an unknown author, is a chivalric romance written in a realistic style. Planned within the medieval tradition, although infl uenced by Italian Humanism, it was composed in fluent Catalan, but subject to several linguistic and cultural interferences. It was probably conceived and written in Italy in the decade of 1440. The author not only knows deeply the courteous volgare language, but also the literary one (especially Boccaccio), with which he enriches a Catalan language probably learnt in Valencia. He also innovates in the courtly and chivalric vocabulary of his mother tongue with the introduction of expressions, proverbs and words –both colloquial and learned– not o…
J. V. Foix i la ironia romàntica
2016
Resum: L’article es basa en el convenciment que la comprensió usual de la ironia no pot ser aplicada a les obres de J. V. Foix, les quals més aviat han de ser enteses en el context de la ironia romàntica tal com va ser concebuda per Friedrich Schlegel i més tard documentada en la investigació d’Ingrid Strohschneider-Kohrs. Es descriu el terme «reflexió» com l’autonegació de l’absolut per a després analitzar alguns poemes en prosa del poeta, en què tal classe d’ironia pot ser identificada. En els escrits de Foix les freqüents metareflexions sobre poesia o pintura fan aparèixer els textos o els quadres com a il·legibles o dotats d’un gran poder subversiu. Una peça com «El Roc pertús» deconstr…
« Making Sense of Wilfred Owen’s Keatsian Heritage: “Exposure” and “Ode to a Nightingale” »
2020
Readers of Wilfred Owen usually agree that the war poet’s early admiration for John Keats faded after he enlisted in the army; his poetry then turned against Keats’s. The opening paraphrase of Owen’s poem “Exposure” is thus often read as a rejection and a subversion of the Romantic poet’s “Ode to a Nightingale.” This essay will argue that Owen’s poem can be seen as a radical reversal of Keats’s ode. While “Exposure” is indeed more violent and political than “Ode to a Nightingale,” it does not depart from Keats’s conception of human suffering and of nature. Instead, the war poem builds on Keats’s fleeting description of suffering humanity in “Ode to a Nightingale” and extends it. It also ech…
IMAGINED REBELLION: WHAT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN THE WINTER'S TALE
2014
International audience; Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale features a pattern of violent rebellion that only just fails to happen. Such moments of near-rebellion, best interpreted through the play's master trope of the moving statue, constitute an exploration of the causes of political rebellion and how best to avert it. Thanks to the close integration of its romance aesthetics and political realism, The Winter's Tale can be read as a "Mirror for Kings".
