Lexico-semantic change: salpuscar ‘to splash’ and variants, a small enigma
2018
Aquest article mostra quin degué ser l’origen del verb salpuscar i la variant salbuscar, sinònim de l’actual esquitar o esquitxar . Subratlla les possibilitats que ofereixen els corpus textuals digitals i la necessitat de tenir present l’estudi contrastiu de llengües (especialment d’atendre l’occità) i la història de la cultura quan es fa semàntica i lexicologia diacròniques del català. Així mateix, s’hi apliquen nocions bàsiques de la semàntica cognitiva en l’estudi del canvi lingüístic. This article shows what must have been the origin of the Catalan verb salpuscar and its variant salbuscar, synonym of the current verb esquitar o esquitxar (‘to splash’). It highlights the possibilities of…

Sensorimotor Communication for Humans and Robots: Improving Interactive Skills by Sending Coordination Signals
2018
During joint actions, humans continuously exchange coordination signals and use nonverbal, sensorimotor forms of communication. Here we discuss a specific example of sensorimotor communication-"signaling"-which consists in the intentional modification of one's own action plan (e.g., a plan for reaching a glass of wine) to make it more predictable or discriminable from alternative action plans that are contextually plausible (e.g., a plan for reaching another glass on the same table). We first review the existing evidence on signaling in human-human interactions, discussing under which conditions humans use signaling. Successively, we distill these insights into a computational theory of sig…
Le tracce dell'esegesi paremiografica di Didimo nella tradizione scolastica
2016
This article aims to recognize the remains of Didymus’ scholarly activity related to exegesis on proverbs inside the scholiastic corpora of tragic and comic poets, which, as it happens in the Demosthenic commentary preserved in P.Berol. inv. 9780 (11, 52-12, 33), in some cases show a significant relationship with later paroemiographical sources. These evidences are examined in order to determine whether or not Didymus and Lucillus of Tarrhae might have transposed into their collections of proverbs the historical and mythographical material used by themselves to enrich commentaries and technical works.
Verbal fluency in school-aged Spanish children: analysis of clustering and switching organizational strategies, employing different semantic categori…
2021
La tarea de fluidez verbal (FV) es una medida de la flexibilidad cognitiva y la estrategia de búsqueda dentro del léxico y el tema semántico. En este trabajo, se probó el uso de estrategias organizativas, es decir, agrupación y cambio en la fluidez semántica y fonológica en niños españoles sanos divididos en dos grupos: el grupo 1 de niños más pequeños (de 8 a 9 años) y el grupo 2 de niños mayores (de 10 años de edad) –11) introducción de diferentes letras (F, A, S y P, M, R) y categorías semánticas (animales y comidas o bebidas). La fluidez semántica fue mayor que la fluidez fonológica en ambos grupos de edad. Además, los niños mayores mostraron un mejor desempeño de ambas fluencias que lo…

Involving the elderly in the content development of a health enhancing tablet-based service
2014
The aim of the present study was to specify the needs of elderly for a health-enhancing tablet-based service. An interview study was performed with voluntary elderly (N=19, female 15, male 4, aged 76.2 years (SD 8.3)). The attitudes towards improving health behaviours and technology utilisation were explored. The content illustrations were developed for the interviews, and evaluated by participants using a numerical scale (1 very poor − 5 very good) and verbal feedback. Content analysis was used in the analysis of qualitative data. Taking care of one's own well-being comprehensively was the most important incentive to maintain one's activity. Content illustrations were evaluated as high (av…

Parole cattive: la libertà di espressione tra linguaggio, diritto e filosofia
2022
Questo libro parla del lato oscuro – offensivo, violento, ingannevole – delle parole. Lo fa mettendo in dialogo studiosi di competenza diversa, tutti mossi dalla profonda consapevolezza dei dirompenti effetti delle parole sulla vita delle persone. Si tratta, dunque, di un dialogo sul potere delle parole; o meglio, di un insieme di quattro dialoghi tematici su differenti questioni che sorgono quando si ragioni su quel potere. Il paradosso del cospirazionista come parresiasta, che afferma cose contrarie all’evidenza, pretendendo di svelare così verità nascoste. Il rapporto fra verità e libertà di parola: qual è il modo più ragionevole di tenere insieme libertà di parola, verità scientifica e …
