Cognitive Sociolinguistics draws on the rich theoretical framework of Cognitive Linguistics and focuses on the social factors that underlie the variability of meaning and conceptualization. In the last decade, the field has expanded in various way. The current volume takes stock of current and emerging advances in the field in short academic contributions. The studies collected in this book have a usage-based approach to language variation and change, drawing on the theoretical framework of Cognitive Linguistics and are sensitive to social variation, be it cross-linguistic or language-internal. Three types of contributions are collected in this book. First, it contains theoretical overview papers on the domains that have witnessed expansion in recent years. Second, it presents novel research ideas in proof-of-concept contributions, aimed at blue-sky research and out-of-the-box linguistic analyses. Third, it showcases recent empirical studies within the field. By combining these three types of contributions, the book provides an encompassing overview of novel developments in the field of Cognitive Sociolinguistics.
The corpus-based approach to humor offers innovative and more than plausible objectives, supported by sound arguments, which underline the need to analyze humor both verbally and non-verbally. The cognitive linguistic account of humor sets to analyze a corpus of humorous meanings in interaction and to present the elements that help to create the humorous effects: common ground, intersubjectivity, facial expressions, speakers' attitude, etc. The large corpus of examples annotated in ELAN offers a much-needed multimodal perspective of humor, which encompasses all the different techniques used by speakers. The present analysis offers inspiring insight for future research, in different fields of study: multimodality, humor, and psycholinguistics. The study reveals the need of analyzing both verbal and non-verbal elements in discourse in general and humor in particular as co-speech gestures are essential for the understanding of the message as intended by the speakers.
Este libro aborda aspectos cruciales en la innovación en didáctica de la lengua. Se presentan intervenciones didácticas innovadoras a partir del uso de repositorios multimedia, de dispositivos móviles o de vídeos educativos. La inteligencia artificial también se suma en la enseñanza y se investiga cómo las herramientas automatiza­ [BIC];das pueden ser utilizadas para la producción y corrección de textos. El paso a la docencia virtual, la adaptación de la evaluación a distancia o el papel de docentes y familias en la era COVID se abordan como cuestiones esenciales en este nuevo escenario.
Con la presente obra se quiere rendir homenaje al Profesor Don Carlos Carrete Parrondo, quien fue Catedrático de Lengua y Literatura hebreas e impulsor del Área de Estudios Hebreos y Arameos de la Universidad de Salamanca. En este volumen se recogen cuarenta y seis contribuciones de prestigiosos especialistas en el campo de la lengua hebrea y el pasado hispanojudío medieval, entre otras significativas colaboraciones, de profesores, colegas y amigos, procedentes tanto de universidades y centros de investigación españoles como de Europa, Israel y Estados Unidos.
This handbook, the first to focus specifically on the varieties of Ladin spoken in the Brixen-Tyrol area, intends to provide a systematic, up-to-date overview of research in Ladin linguistics, taking into account both traditional research questions (internal and external language history; specific linguistic traits; classification) and new areas of research (corpus linguistics; neurolinguistics; the teaching of Ladin in a multilingual context; Ladin in the mass media and in social networks). The volume is divided into three main thematic parts. The first part deals with Ladin as a linguistic system, covering its history, evolution, and present-day characteristics. The second parts discusses Ladin as a means of communication that plays a crucial role in forming the identity of its speakers. This particular identity is characterized, at least since the second half of the twentieth century, by a highly complex degree of multilingualism, which will be described in its various aspects. The third part addresses Ladin as an object of linguistic research. The volume is completed by a detailed index.
Este volumen recoge los estudios que diversos expertos en los campos de la Filología y la Comunicación han querido ofrecer como homenaje a la profesora María Victoria Romero (Universidad de Navarra, España) en su jubilación. Las aportaciones aquí contenidas recorren las diversas áreas en que se ha centrado la investigación de la profesora Romero: fundamentalmente, la descripción de la lengua española, con especial atención a los niveles léxico y textual; el análisis del lenguaje de los medios de comunicación y del discurso publicitario; y la enseñanza del español como segunda lengua.
A principios del siglo XX, la campaña política y de divulgación iniciada por el senador Ángel Pulido a través de las demandas que este dirigió a instituciones como la Real Academia Española impulsó sobremanera las relaciones del mundo sefardí con la cultura académica española. El interés de Ramón Menéndez Pidal por el romancero sefardí y la presencia del orientalista Abraham Shalom Yahuda en España en aquellos años favoreció el nombramiento de los primeros académicos correspondientes de origen sefardí, lo que abrió una nueva etapa en el desarrollo de los contactos culturales hispanosefardíes con esta institución. Esta monografía traza la historia de la Real Academia E...
"Provides an overview of the current state of materials design in language teaching. The materials discussed include the complete range of language-learning resources from teacher-created materials to commercially-developed tasks, texts, and activities. Seventeen original chapters explore the issues involved in the design, implementation, and evaluation of materials in a wide variety of contexts. The contributors, an international group of established experts, explain the theories and principles underlying their approaches to materials design. They examine the issues that materials writers encounter when developing language-teaching materials, both in print and digital formats, and present a variety of solutions that help resolve those issues. Discussion questions and tasks follow each chapter to make this volume useful to prospective and practicing teachers alike"--Page 4 of cover
