Immigrant Labour and viticulture activity: the Case of the Ribera del Duero
2017
Spain is one of the main countries with significant presence in the global wine market. Ribera de Duero is a region which currently has a very important presence both nationally and internationally in the global production of wine. Studies conducted in the area have addressed different angles of those changes. One of the aspects more addressed in existing studies is the wine tourism strategy, the elements that have enabled the growth of this strategy and the impacts on the region. However, one of the aspects that has not been very much discussed is the importance of the labor force involved in this activity. On this communication, we will focus on analyzing the importance of the migrant la…
The impact of adult attachment style on organizational commitment and adult attachment in the workplace
2015
International audience; Adult attachment style has only recently been considered as having a role in explaining work behavior. The present research aimed to explore the impact of adult attachment style, assessed by the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI), on organizational commitment (OC) and on adult attachment in the workplace (AAW). We hypothesized that a secure attachment style would be positively related to affective and normative commitment, while preoccupied and avoidant styles would be negatively related to affective commitment; we also hypothesized that there would be a correspondence between the AAI categories and the AAW dimensions. Using the AAI categories as group variable, analys…
Written arguments and collaborative speech acts in practising the argumentative power of language through chat debates
2007
Abstract This study deals with the quality of argumentation and collaboration in students’ chat debates. The argumentative interaction between students is analysed by categorising their speech turns into seven functional categories. The argumentative task-related parts of the students’ discussions are further analysed into collaborative and non-collaborative speech acts. Argumentation patterns are revealed when the results of both analyses are combined with observations on the students’ writing styles. Students ( n = 24) participated in 12 dyadic debates concerning either nuclear power (NP) or genetically modified organisms (GMO). We found that the majority (67.2%) of the speech turns in N…
Gendered Use of the Hedge in Academic Discourse
2013
This paper discusses the distribution of hedges in academic texts in relation to the gender of the writer. The assumption prior to the analysis concerned possible differences in communicative practices between male and female writers reflected in the hedging of their propositions. The textual material covers 20 research articles, 10 written by male and 10 by female authors, published in the Journal of Linguistics in the years 2001–2010. Metadiscourse as “discourse about discourse” is connected with the communicative, social and personal involvement (Hyland 2000). Hedges, as indicators of the writer’s stance, should reveal characteristics of particular writing styles based on powerful or sup…
Adolescenti e stile “Young Adult”
2021
Molto spesso dimentichiamo quello che significa essere adolescenti. Molto spesso dimentichiamo quello che è uno degli aspetti più importanti della letteratura: arrivare a toccare le corde dell’animo e del cuore dei lettori, in un modo che allo stesso tempo intrattiene e gli permette di sentirsi compresi e meno soli, di sentirsi umani. L'adolescenza è la terra dei contrasti, delle grandi emozioni vissute e la letteratura può svolgere una funzione utile aiutando gli adolescenti a sentirsi meno soli. Leggere richiede coraggio, perché accogliere qualcosa, riconoscerla, significa mettersi in gioco personalmente. Il libro offre all’adolescente una visione di sé, non solo “qui ed ora”, ma dona una…
