Partículas discursivas y subtitulación: una aproximación experimental con eyetracking
No full textLas partículas discursivas guían al lector en la deducción de inferencias. Como se ha demostrado experimentalmente, estas unidades reducen la subdeterminación lingüística de los textos y limitan los costes de procesamiento. Sin embargo, en la traducción de subtítulos a menudo se tildan las partículas discursivas como elementos superficiales de los cuales es posible prescindir ante las constricciones espacio-temporales. Esta contribución presenta un estudio de caso con eyetracking que obliga a reconsiderar el papel de estas unidades procedimentales en la subtitulación de textos semiplanificados en español. El estudio presenta los datos de 20 hablantes nativos de italiano que visualizaron una entrevista en español subtitulada en esta misma lengua en dos versiones, con presencia de partículas discursivas y en ausencia de estas
Gender Doublets as a Mark of Gender Inclusive Language: An Experimental Study on Language Processing
Get PDFOver the last decades, gender inclusive language has become a debated issue in which two opposing positions hardly reach a meeting point: those who believe that the masculine plural form for groups of people can be interpreted as neutral, unmarked and inclusive of both biological sexes compared to those who claim that the generic masculine is a sexist use of language, while the gender doublet forms ( los políticos y políticas ) are alternatives that offer greater visibility to women. The purpose of our study is to contribute to this debate by means of objective data obtained out of experimental linguistics. In this context, an eyetracking experiment was carried out w ith 88 native speakers of Spanish at the National University of Colombia, with the aim of testing whether one of the first alternatives proposed as an inclusive language strategy, that is gender doublet, affects the cognitive efforts required to process written sentences. The results show that gender desinences significantly affect the cognitive effort required by readers during the information retrieval phase

Get PDFThe rediscovery of Emmanuel Bove from the 1980s onwards drew atten-tion above all to his early works, notably Mes amis. However, the novels published after the war, far from the subjects dear to the author, remain less famous. The reading of The Trap is used to show that, without abandoning his style and his way of looking at the world and describing it, Bove succeeds in immersing us into the dark universe of the Occupation. We thus witness the failure of the Bove anti-hero who for once is acting yet setting himself too ambitious a goal, and while trying to defeat the occupying monster he perishes in the occupied France labyrinth. Moreover, the labyrinth as a formal struc-ture becomes a recurring element in the novel.
La redécouverte d’Emmanuel Bove à partir des années 80 a surtout attiré l’attention sur ses premières œuvres, notamment Mes amis. Toutefois les romans publiés après la guerre, éloignés des sujets chers à l’auteur, restent moins connus. La lecture du Piège sert à montrer que, sans abandonner son style et sa manière de voir le monde et le décrire, Bove réussit á nous plonger dans l’univers gris de l’Occupation, On assiste donc à l’échec de l’anti-héros bovien qui pour une fois agit mais se fixe un objectif trop ambitieux car tentant de vaincre le monstre occupant périt dans le labyrinthe de la France occupée. De plus, le labyrinthe en tant que structure formelle devient un élément récurrent du roman
I verbali che concludono la mediazione nel d.lgs. n. 149 del 2022
No full textL’a. analizza la disciplina dei verbali che concludono la mediazione conte- nuta nell’attuale d.lgs. n. 149 del 2022, facendo emergere una sostanziale conferma delle previsioni già prima contenute nel d.lgs. n. 28 del 2010. Co- sì si descrivono la struttura e lo scopo delle formalità da seguire sia nel ca- so di fallimento della mediazione sia nel caso di suo successo, ipotesi in cui il verbale conclusivo del percorso contiene l’accordo delle parti. Quindi, si analizza l’attuale regolamentazione dei verbali nell’eventualità che sia se- guita la modalità telematica, facendo emergere l’importante cambiamento che la normativa recente apporta esigendo la firma digitale delle parti.The script analyses the discipline of mediation reports under Legislative Decree no. 149 of 2022, highlighting its conformity to the provisions of Legislative Decree no. 28 of 2010. The author outlines the features and scope of the procedures applicable to instances where a mediated settlement is not achieved and instances where mediation results in a settlement agreement to be included in the mediation report. In particular, the author examines the innovative regulation of mediation reports, which requires the use of digital signatures where mediation takes place onlin

This racket is not mine: The influence of the tool-use on peripersonal space
No full textThe aim of the present study was to test whether the peripersonal space (PPS), defined as the portion of the space immediately surrounding the body, is modulated by the long-term motor experience with a specific tool in a sportsmen population. To this end, we evaluated, by means of a multisensory integration paradigm, how tennis players and novices to the sport of tennis perceived the PPS while holding a tennis racket. Going deeply, in the case of the athletes, we tested the effect of their personal racket, i.e., the one they regularly use during their sport activities, compared to a common one. When handling one of these objects or nothing, participants were requested to verbally respond to a tactile stimulus administered at the right wrist while hearing a task-irrelevant sound emitted by a speaker positioned either near to the hand (Near) or far from it (Far). Reaction time to a tactile stimulus associated with the Far sound were higher than those associated with the Near sound when tennis players and novices held the common racket, whereas this difference disappeared when the athletes handled the personal tennis racket. These results suggest that the tool daily used during sport activity is stably embodied in the peripersonal space of tennis players
Motor training and the combination of action observation and peripheral nerve stimulation reciprocally interfere with the plastic changes induced in primary motor cortex excitability
No full textAO-PNS is a stimulation protocol combining action observation (AO) and peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) to induce plasticity in the primary motor cortex (M1) (increased excitability). Another method to increase M1 excitability is motor training. The combination of two protocols, which individually induce long-term potentiation (LTP)-like plasticity in overlapping neural circuits, results in a transitory occlusion or reverse of this phenomenon. This study aimed to understand the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying AO-PNS by testing whether AO-PNS and motor training induced LTP-like plasticity in, at least partially, overlapping neural networks. One group of participants practiced a motor training (finger opposition movements) followed by AO-PNS, whereas another group performed the two protocols in reverse order. Motor performance was evaluated by means of a sensor-engineered glove and transcranial magnetic stimulation was used to assess M1 excitability before and after each conditioning protocol. Motor training increased movement frequency, suggesting the occurrence of motor learning in both groups. When applied on first, both motor training and AO-PNS significantly increased the motor-evoked potential (MEP), but occluded the increase of cortical excitability expected after the following protocol, leading to a significant decrease of MEP amplitude. These results suggest that motor training and AO-PNS act on partially overlapping neuronal networks, which include M1, and that AO-PNS might be able to induce LTP-like plasticity in a similar way to overt movement execution. This candidates AO-PNS as methodology potentially useful when planning rehabilitative interventions on patients who cannot voluntarily move
