Ítem A corpus-based preliminary overview of noun-premodifying adverbs, or adverb shift(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Jaén, 2000) Viera Huertas, Rosa María; Casas Pedrosa, Antonio Vicente; Mesa Carmona, RamónThis paper aims to describe the basics of the relationship between nominal heads and their premodifying adverbs (adverb shift). Our study is partly based on Levi 's (1978) study of the rule adjective shift in complex nominals. An overview of adverb shift is then attempted ftom examples taken ftom the LOB corpus. The resulting classification of ten predicates shows a range of syntactico-semantic relationships between the noun and the premodifying adverb.Ítem Attention to diversity in bilingual education: Student and teacher perspectives in Spain(Taylor & Francis, 2023) Casas Pedrosa, Antonio Vicente; Rascón Moreno, DiegoThis paper reports on the outcomes of a study on stakeholder perspectives on catering for diversity in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in Spain. It is part of the large-scale SWOT analysis conducted in Europe within the project ‘CLIL for All: Attention to Diversity in Bilingual Education (ADiBE)’. The research has involved the administration of two sets of questionnaires to 926 informants (742 students and 184 teachers) within 15 secondary schools of four provinces. After framing the topic against the backdrop of the project, the paper will expound on the objectives, methodology, variables, and procedure employed in this particular study in Spain. The bulk of the article will outline its main findings in relation to the five main fields of interest which have been canvassed: linguistic aspects, methodology and types of groupings, materials and resources, assessment, and teacher coordination and development. Across-group comparisons will be carried out to determine whether there are statistically significant differences between both cohorts. A diagnosis of where we currently stand in Spain in the process of catering for diversity in CLIL will be provided in light of these results and a future CLIL agenda will be carved out on the basis of these findings.Ítem Certainty adverbs in spoken learner language The role of tasks and proficiency(John Benjamins, 2019-09-24) Pérez-Paredes, Pascual; Díez-Bedmar, María BelénOur research examines the use of three stance adverbs of certainty (actually, really and obviously) across B1, B2 and C1 levels in the Trinity Lancaster Corpus (TLC). Particularly, we examined the occurrence of these adverbs in the subset of Spanish L1 speakers from Mexico and Spain. Really, actually and obviously were found to display a distinctive frequency of use across different proficiency levels and the different speaking tasks analysed. Dialogic tasks favoured a more frequent use of really and actually, while obviously was hardly used. Qualitative analyses of the pragmatic functions of really and actually revealed that there is an increase in the use of meanings to express hedging in really and factualness in actually across the proficiency levels. Our research confirms the finding in Gablasova et al. (2017) that the type of speaking task conditions speakers’ repertoire of linguistic devices, although we argue that this conditioning operates on different levels.Ítem Civilizing Africa: Livingstone's Inheritance in a Burt-Out Case, by Graham Greene and El sueño del celta, by Mario Vargas Llosa(2015) Valverde, BeatrizIn this article the concept of „semiosphere‟, developed by the Russian-Estonian scholar Juri Lotman, is used to examine the relationship between the African and the European communities in the Congo portrayed by Graham Greene in A Burnt-Out Case and by Mario Vargas Llosa in El sueño del celta. With this analysis I will prove that even though both authors denounce the terrible consequences of the European colonization had for the African people, the native communities in the novels are still depicted from a western paternalistic perspective.Ítem English Studies and Literary Education in the Era of Media Manipulation: Context, Perceptions, Feelings and Challenges(Universidad de Alicante, 2020-12) Caballero-Aceituno, Yolanda; Orrequia-Barea, AroaThis article analyses the components of a method of literary education aimed at strengthening critical awareness. It discusses whether the current academic context is hospitable to a literary education that fights against the over-simplification of our epistemological horizons. The popularisation of a utilitarian version of university study, the neglect of reflective practices and the marginalisation of the usefulness of the discipline of literature within the field of English Studies are some of the realities that we currently face. Within this context, a literary education involving activism can play an important role in promoting resistance against the pandemic of media manipulation we are in the midst of. After having examined the views of a group of students at the University of Jaén (Spain) concerning the importance of studying an English Studies degree in contemporary society, it is clear that such an education needs to be based on emotional aspects, paying special attention to the students’ feelings and perceptions. The results of our corpus-based study using Sentiment Analysis techniques evidence the emotional disaffection of students from certain subjects, namely literature, which are specifically aimed at encouraging critical thinking. Thus, one of the future challenges that must be faced is to foster positive emotions in our literature lessons, as they are essential to promote the students’ critical awareness and activism.Ítem El genitivo agente como la interpretación semántica más prototípica del genitivo inglés: un estudio de corpus(2021-04-15) Almazán-Ruiz, EncarnaciónLa construcción de genitivo en inglés [NP’s + N] puede ser interpretada de diversas maneras atendiendo no solo a factores léxicos y semánticos, sino también pragmáticos. El objetivo principal de este estudio es plantear que el genitivo agente (John’s claim) es más habitual en inglés que el de posesión (John’s car), a pesar de lo que tradicionalmente se mantiene. El estudio demuestra este hecho analizando ejemplos de dos corpus de lengua escrita: el Brown y el Lobtag. Además de relacionar el genitivo agente con el proceso de nominalización, se ofrece una posible explicación de la frecuencia de esta interpretación semánticaÍtem Net Ideas: Grammar(GRETA, 2004) Casas-Pedrosa, Antonio VicenteNET IDEAS is a new section that will be aimed at offering both ESL teachers and learners different websites which have been selected on the basis of the resources they offer. If you use a search engine in order to look for them, the number of results will be very high. However, just sorne of the hits may be useful to you. Moreover, you will have to go through all of them and choose the most suitable ones for your particular purposes. For the sake of clarity and coherence, it has been decided that each issue will be devoted to a specific linguistic skill or area. This issue will focus on English grammar. The best websites dealing with this area will be not only provided but also commented on, taking into account different aspects, such as their target audience, the presence or absence of different levels, glossaries of linguistic terms, examples, extra exercises, the kind of accivities exploited, etc. Due to limitations of space, we will just concentrate on sorne websites that have been selected among a varied range of links.Ítem On the translation of culinary terms in Malaga province restaurant menus into English. A corpus-based study(Ediciones Universidad de Valladolid, 2024) Díaz Pérez, Francisco JavierThe main objective of the present paper involves analysing the translation solutions adopted to render the names of dishes and drinks in a Spanish-English bilingual corpus of eighty restaurant menus from four localities of Malaga province. All in all, 1436 culinary terms and their English translations have been analysed. The results reflect a tendency to resort to translation solutions oriented towards the source culture, which apart from linking the target texts to the culture with which the dishes are associated, may make them more appealing to the target audience. Together with this tendency, translators tried to make sure that the English menus were understandable and informative. The culture-specificity variable has also been found to have an effect on the choice of translation solutions.Ítem Patriarcavirus, feminist dystopias and COVID-19: reflections on the phenomenon of gender pandemics.(2021) Machado Jiménez, AlmudenaThis essay examines contemporary feminist dystopias to study the phenomenon of gender pandemics. Gender pandemic narrative allegorises possible aftermaths of patriarcavirus, unleashing many natural disasters that force global biopolitics to hinder gender equality. The main objective of this essay is to explain how gender pandemics are appropriated in patriarchal utopian discourses as a pretext to control female empowerment, diagnosing women as diseased organisms that risk the state’s well-being. Moreover, the novels explore the interdependence between biology and sociality, portraying the acute vulnerability of female bodies during and after the pandemic conflicts, inasmuch as patriarchal power arranges a hierarchical value system of living that reinforces gender discrimination. Particularly, the COVID-19 emergency is analysed as a gender pandemic: the exacerbated machismo and the growing distress in the female population prove that women are afflicted with a suffocating patriarcavirus, which has critically gagged them in the first year of the pandemic.
