Bilingual acquisition data: Dative Alternation_DA-L2 Adult dataset
No full textThis dataset is the result of the research carried out by Silvia Sánchez Calderón (UNED) and Raquel Fernández Fuertes (UVa) in the frame of the Research Group UVALAL (University of Valladolid Language Acquisition Lab, https://uvalal.uva.es/) whose Principal Investigator is Raquel Fernández Fuertes. In this project, the research is conducted on the second language (L2) acquisition of English Dative Alternation (DA) constructions by adult learners whose first language (L1) is Spanish. The results are compared to a control group of L1 English adults. An Acceptability Judgment Task (AJT) was designed for both groups to address grammaticality, sentence structure and word order of the two English DA structures.
The two DA structures under analysis involve, on the one hand, prepositional to-datives that alternate as Double Object Constructions (DOCs) (1) and, on the other hand, prepositional for-datives that alternate as DOCs (2). The main aim of this project is to explore the role played by the L2 English learners' L1 in their sensitivity towards the two syntactic variants, with a particular emphasis on the potential crosslinguistic influence effects (or lack thereof) from Spanish into English and the Universal Grammar (UG) effect on their acquisition.UVALAL1.

No full textThis article analyzes The Wind of Others (2012), by
Raquel Ochoa, a contemporary Portuguese author
who presents a set of travel chronicles through Cen-
tral and South America, from a feminine perspecti-
ve in search of identity and questioning the native
Other. Passionate about writing and travelling, the
author wanders aimlessly like the wind through
the Andes from Costa Rica to Patagonia in Argen-
tina to emerge in the local culture away from the
more commercial tours. As part of travel literature,
the search for the Other(s) reveals alterity and traces
a critical portrait of the plight of the peoples of Latin
America, which result from the processes of coloni-
zation and globalization. The personal encounters
and adventures blend in a literature of the senses re-
vealing the landscapes, the peoples and the winds
of Latin America from a transatlantic perspective.Este artigo analisa O Vento dos Outros (2012), de

Cervical spine clearance in the adult obtunded blunt trauma patient: a systematic review
No full textBackground: A missed cervical spinal injury could have devastating consequences. Patients with a suspected cervical spinal injury are kept in rigid collars for cervical immobilisation. Prolonged collar use has important clinical implications. A well-defined guideline related to the removal of cervical collars from adult obtunded blunt trauma patients has not been developed. Aim: We sought to determine if Magnetic Resonance Imaging offered a definitive benefit over Computer Tomography with respect to patient management. Method: We searched Ovid Online, EBSCO, NICE Evidence Journals, Medline, PubMED, BNI, CINAHL and Google Scholar as well as the grey literature. Data extraction and synthesis were performed on studies that compared the radiologic findings and clinical outcomes of Computer Tomography scan and Magnetic Resonance Imaging in this patient group. Results: There is evidence that supports the safe discontinuation of cervical collar use after a negative multidetector Computer Tomography scan result alone. Magnetic Resonance Imaging may detect a significant number of ligamentous injuries, but such injuries are rarely of clinical significance because they rarely alter clinical management. Its use should be limited to specific circumstances. Conclusion: It is important for institutions to re-examine the latest evidence regarding cervical spinal clearance in order to update their guidelines.</p

Gender and the politics of the gaze in Bronte's Wuthering Heights
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente, Florianópolis, 2009.O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar uma análise de como a imagem de Catherine é moldada pelo olhar masculino, como ela enfrenta os três tipos de olhar - o olhar dos personagens, o olhar do leitor, e o olhar do autor - e finalmente, se o olhar masculino é interrompido. O parâmetro teórico desta análise, o conceito do olhar masculino, é teorizado por Laura Mulvey no artigo "Prazer Visual e Cinema Narrativo" (1975) o qual critica a relação entre o olhar masculino e a imagem feminina do prazer visual moldado pela sociedade patriarcal. Através da crítica de Mulvey do prazer visual generizado em filmes, que pertence ao contexto do cinema clássico de Hollywood, articulo sua teoria em relação ao romance Wuthering Heights de Emily Brontë para examinar a dinâmica do olhar masculino em relação à personagem feminina Catherine. Este estudo teve também por objetivo analisar o quanto o paradigma teórico de Mulvey produzido para cinema poderia ser aplicado especificamente em um texto literário escrito no século XIX.The objective of this thesis is to present an analysis of whether Catherine's image has been shaped by the male gaze, how she contends with the three looks of the male gaze - the look of the characters, the look of the reader, and the look of the author - and finally, how the male gaze is broken. The theoretical parameter of this analysis, the concept of the male gaze, is theorized by Laura Mulvey in the article "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" (1975) which critiques the relation between the male gaze and the female image within the patriarchal molding of visual pleasure. Borrowing Mulvey's critique of the gendering of visual pleasure in films, which pertains to the context of classical Hollywood cinema, I have articulated her theory in relation to Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, to examine the dynamics of the male gaze regarding the female character, Catherine. This study also aimed at examing the extent to which Mulvey's theoretical paradigm produced for cinema could be articulated specifically in relation to a literary text written in the nineteenth century
Reasonable persuasion: speech in García de la Huerta's Raquel
No full textThis thesis investigates the nature of persuasive speeches made by Hernán García and Raquel in order to persuade King Alfonso to turn his attentions respectively toward the Castillian people and Raquel. Each speech uses particular techniques that are born within the genders of the speakers, and each speech is successful because of these strategies. These speeches reflect the contemporary political atmosphere of the author, García de la Huerta's, literary age and reflect a representation of the events surrounding the Esquilache riots. In this way, the author goes beyond a simple demonstration of the world as it is, but in fact accuses Esquilache of misdeeds by demonstrating him to have fallen into feminine habits of excessive greed and emotion that drive him. The author thus warns Carlos III against such influences that are evidenced in gendered persuasive discourse

Amores de Alfonso VIII y Raquel, la judía de Toledo
No full textLa leyenda de los amores del rey caste-
llano Alfonso VIII y Raquel, la bella judía de Toledo, se forjó para justificar la derrota de este rey
en
Alarcos en 1195. Esta apasionada y desdichada
historia conmovió desde el principio a sus coetáneos y más tarde despertó la imaginación de escritores españoles y extranjeros. La excepcionalidad
del personaje de Raquel, con su pasión, osadía y
encanto conecta fácilmente con nuestra alma y con
nuestra vida. En el artículo estudiamos los contextos histórico, social y biográfico en los que se de
senvolvió la vida de los amantes, el nacimiento literario de la leyenda y la versión de cuatros dramaturgos atraídos por el mito: Lope de Vega, Antonio
Mira de Amescua, Vicente García de la Huerta y
Franz Grillparzer. La selección de obras se justifica en el hecho de que Lope de Vega es autor de la
primera obra dramática sobre el tema y el que bautiza a la judía con el nombre de Raquel; Mira de
Amescua, es seguidor de Lope y García de la
Huerta, a su vez, es seguidor de Mira de Amescua;
finalmente, el gran poeta austríaco y admirador de
Lope, Grillparzer, es autor de la última versión dramática. Aunque de épocas y culturas diferentes,
con diferentes perspectivas, con su intuición y sensibilidad literaria dramatizan bellamente la conjunción de elementos que configuró las vidas de los
amantes y que contribuyó a que Raquel, fuera asesinada por los nobles del reino con el beneplácito
de la reina doña Leonor. Según su visión, la muerte de Raquel y el fracaso de su amor fue inevitable.The legend of the love affair between Alfonso VIII, King of Castille, and Raquel, the beautiful
Jewish girl from Toledo, was conceived to justify the
defeat of Alfonso in Alarcos in 1195. Right from the
beginning this passionate and unfortunate story made
an impression on their contemporaries and in time
aroused the imagination of both Spanish and foreign
writers. Raquel’s exceptional character, her passion,
audacity, intelligence and charm easily enter our
hearts and affect our lives. Her life becomes comprehensible to us. In this article we analyze the historical, social and biographical context in which the
two
lovers lived their lives, and the literary birth of
the legend and the scenical approach chosen by three
Spanish writers – Lope de Vega, Antonio Mira de
Amescua, Vicente García de la Huerta – and a foreign one, the Austrian Franz Grillparzer. The selection of works is justified by the fact that Lope de
Vega is the author of the first play on the subject
and
it is he that name the Jewish girl Raquel. Mira de
Amescua is a follower of Lope de Vega and García
de la Huerta, in turn, is a follower of Mira de Amescua. Although they belonged to different periods and cultures, and despite the different viewpoints adopted
in their treatment of the legend, the writers’ insights
and literary sensitivities enabled them to dramatize
the diversity of elements that shaped the lovers’ lives
and led to the murder of Raquel, the beautiful Jewish
girl, at the hands the kingdom’s noblemen with the
consent of Queen Leonor. Raquel’s death and the tragic end of their love affair were inevitable
