To break the embarrassment: Text comprehension skills and figurative competence in skilled and less-skilled text comprehenders
No full textThe aim of the present study was to investigate children's ability to complete idiom fragments embedded in stories. Previous studies found that children's and preadolescents' ability to comprehend a text was related to their ability to understand an idiomatic expression (Cain, Oakhill, & Lemmon, 2005; Levorato, Nesi, & Cacciari, 2004; Nippold, Moran, & Schwarz, 2001). Comprehension and production processes share a vast amount of conceptual and lexical knowledge. Hence, we hypothesized that children's text reading comprehension skills also might be related to their ability to produce nonliteral completions. Skilled and less-skilled text comprehenders (age range from 7.4 to 10.3) were presented with short stories that ended with an idiomatic fragment (e.g., Paul broke the... for the idiom break the ice) and-were asked to complete the story. The children's completions were coded as Literal, Idiomatic, or Figurative as in previous studies (Levorato & Cacciari, 1992, 1995). The results showed that children's ability to understand a text was related to their ability to complete idiomatic fragments figuratively. Less-skilled comprehenders provided more literal completions than skilled comprehenders who, in turn, provided more idiomatic completions
Tempo das figuras: Agambem, Virno, Cacciari, Rella
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2009Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar quatro figuras da crítica italiana contemporânea que antagonizam e protagonizam o debate sobre estética e política: Giorgio Agamben, Paolo Virno, Massimo Cacciari e Franco Rella. A análise passa, principalmente, pelos materiais esparsos produzidos a partir dos anos 1970 até a entrada do novo século, a fim de observar a montagem das categorias que movimentam as articulações desses pensamentos. Categorias que, carregadas de tempo e de ética, permitem chegar à hipótese de que o pensar filosófico e o fazer poético, artístico e crítico operam de maneira polarmente conjugada na inoperância constituída entre as quatro figuras, de modo a perceber que: pela profanação, Agamben monta as imagens que transitam entre as diversas disciplinas do saber e a arte; pela ambivalência, Virno rearticula a conduta da esquerda, a partir de considerações marxinianas; pelo paradoxo do pensamento, Cacciari explicita filosofia estética e filosofia política; pela noção de figura, Rella passeia pelas imagens da modernidade. Diante das divergências e das semelhanças há algo que os toca: a tarefa dada ao tempo

No full textGeneralization of the method of maximum likelihood
No full textThe approach proposed by J. Jacquelin to explain the maximum likelihood method (MLH) is highly appreciated. The approximations connected with the ML in its 'classic' form (hrMLH) are very well pointed out, introducing the terms S1 and Sz which provide a generalized, unbiased form of the maximum likelihood method
J/ψ production via fragmentation at the Tevatron.
No full textThe production of \jpsi at large transverse momenta (\pt > M_\jpsi) in collisions is considered by including the mechanism of fragmentation. Both contributions of fragmentation to \jpsi and of fragmentation to states followed by radiative decay to \jpsi are taken into account. The latter is found to be dominant and larger than direct production. The overall theoretical estimate is shown to be nearly consistent with the experimental observation
