The translation of the Italian metalinguistic ability tests TAM-2 and TAM-3 (Pinto, 1999) into the German MKT-2 (Jessner, Hofer, & Pinto 2015) and MKT-3 (Jessner, Pellegrini, Moroder, Hofer, & Pinto 2015)
No full textThis article describes the major issues and strategies that were elaborated for translating
two metalinguistic tests, the TAM-2 (Pinto, Candilera, & Iliceto 2003) and the TAM-3 (Pinto, Iliceto,
& 2007), from Italian into German, as MKT-2 (Jessner, Hofer, & Pinto 2015) and MKT-3 (Jessner,
Pellegrini, Moroder, & Pinto 2015). The intrinsic complexity of tests that measure both the implicit
and the explicit level of metalinguistic awareness was pointed out as one of the sources of difficulty.
Terminological issues specific to German versus Italian and also versus the languages of previous
translations of these tests (English, Spanish, French) were extensively analysed. The translators present
some of the solutions devised for rephrasing the most problematic items in both the MKT-2 and in
the MKT-3. The valid empirical results found in the pilot studies conducted with the MKT-2 and the
MKT-3 on German-speaking participants are to be viewed as an indirect confirmation of the validity
of the translations

The pilot studies on the MKT-2 (Metalinguistischer Kompetenztest Teil 2, Jessner, Hofer, & Pinto 2015) and the MKT-3 (Metalinguistischer Kompetenztest Teil 3, Jessner, Pellegrini, Moroder, Hofer, & Pinto 2015)
No full textThis article presents the results of the pilot studies conducted on the MKT-2 (Metalinguistischer
Kompetenz Test Teil 2 for subjects 9-14) and the MKT-3 (Metalinguistischer Kompetenztest
Teil 3, for late adolescence-adulthood), two tests translated from the original Italian metalinguistic
ability test TAM-2 (Pinto, Candilera, & Iliceto 2003) and TAM-3 (Pinto, Iliceto 2007) into German.
As these German versions were, after a lenghty translation process, administered for the first time to
native speakers of German, (Jessner, Hofer, Pellegrini, & Pinto 2015), it was particularly significant
to test their impact on German-speaking subjects. The pilot studies were conducted in three small
centers of South Tyrol (North of Italy) on native speakers of German. Performances were measured
by descriptive and inferential statistics indicators, and by comparison with the normative samples of
the Italian TAM-2 and TAM-3. Results showed that both German pilot samples attained good metalinguistic
performances at the implicit level, as measured by the L scores of each test, and in line with
the Italian normative samples at the corresponding ages, and also at the explicit level, as measured
by the ML scores of these tests, which were even superior to those of the Italian subjects. In either
MKT-2 and MKT-3, Skewness and Kurtosis values were within range, reliability coefficients ranged
from average to high, intercorrelations ranged from moderate to strong, and by means of Principal
Component Analysis (PCA), a major component was extracted, that represents the metalinguistic
core of the test, as measured by the ML subtests. These preliminary results encourage to further systematic
validation studies on both MKT-2 and MKT-3

Le non-dit de l'inceste. Trois chansons de Barbara
No full textL'inceste constitue à la fois un tabou anthropologique "primitif" et un profond traumatisme psychologique pour les victimes. Dans cet article, nous analysons comment la forme d'expression artistique choisie par l'auteur-interprète Barbara, la chanson, genre intrinsèquement populaire, et la forme intime qu'elle lui a donné permettent la mise en scène d'un secret tout en laissant des indices pour son dévoilement, dans trois chansons en particulier : "Nantes", "Au coeur de la nuit" et "L'Aigle noir"

'A date with Barbara': paracosms of the self in biographies of Barbara Newhall Follett
No full textIn 1927, 13-year-old Barbara Newhall Follett published her first book, the critically acclaimed novel, The House Without Windows and Eepersip's Life There.
Twelve years later, on December 7, 1939, 25-year-old Barbara quarrelled with her husband and left her apartment in Boston with $30 in her pocket, and a notebook. She was never seen again.
The House Without Windows is set in a paracosm (Farksolia) she invented, and ends with the metamorphosis of the titular character into a 'fairy-a wood nymph … invisible for ever to all mortals, save those few who have minds to believe, eyes to see'.
In Barbara's (auto)biography, The Unconscious Autobiography of a Child Genius (1966), written by Harold Grier McCurdy 'in collaboration with Helen Follett' (Barbara's mother), the authors wonder: 'Can we be far wrong in substituting Barbara's name for Eepersip's in the closing scenes of [House Without Windows]?
In this paper, I grapple with the formal and ethical challenges of writing about Barbara Newhall Follett, and the ways her family and others have approached the problem of writing her unresolved life story: a child raised and educated in solitude, a celebrated 'natural' child author, a young woman whose disappearance remains unsolved. The paper will explore the ways in which adults write the stories of children's lives, as nostalgia and fable, as fairytale and paracosmic narrative, and the ways in which Barbara's biographers have, consciously and unconsciously, created biographical concordances, or paracosms of the self, in seeking to make meaning of her life's story
