    This 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.

    This 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 Raquel Ochoa, uma autora Portuguesa contem- porânea que apresenta um conjunto de crónicas de viagem da América Central à América do Sul, numa narrativa de olhar feminista em questionamento identitário com o Outro local. Apaixonada pela escri- ta e pelas viagens, a autora vagueia sem rumo como o vento pelos Andes desde a Costa Rica até à Pata- gónia na Argentina com o objetivo de uma imersão cultural afastando-se de um périplo mais comercial. Inserindo-se na literatura de viagens a procura do(s) outro(s) revela a alteridade e traça um retrato crítico das difíceis condições de vida dos povos da América Latina, resultantes dos processos de colonização e de globalização. Os encontros e aventuras pessoais misturam-se numa literatura dos sentidos revelan- do as paisagens, as gentes e os ventos da Améri- ca Latina a partir de uma perspetiva transatlântica

    Reasonable persuasion: speech in García de la Huerta's Raquel

    No full text
    This 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

    Expression of the Short Form of RON/STK in Feline Mammary Carcinoma

    RON is a tyrosine kinase receptor activated by the macrophage-stimulating protein (MSP) ligand that is overexpressed in human breast cancer. In humans, RON protein can be present in different isoforms, and the most studied isoform is represented by the short form of RON (sf-RON), which is generated by an alternative promoter located in intron 10 of the RON complementary DNA (cDNA). It plays an important role in breast cancer progression. Considering the many similarities between feline mammary carcinoma (FMC) and human breast cancer, the aim of this study was to investigate the expression of both RON and MSP in FMCs and to identify the presence of the sf-RON transcript. Tissue samples of spontaneous mammary tumors were collected from 60 queens (10 benign lesions, 50 carcinomas). All of the samples were tested for RON and MSP expression by immunohistochemistry; moreover, RNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded tissue samples, and the cDNA was tested by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to identify the presence of sf-RON. Immunohistochemistry detected the expression of RON and MSP in 34 of 50 (68%) and 29 of 50 (58%) FMCs, respectively. RT-PCR revealed the presence of the short-form in 18 of 47 (38%) FMCs. This form originates, as in humans, from an alternative promoter (P2), and it codes for the proper feline short form (sf-RON). sf-RON expression was associated with poorly differentiated tumors and with a shorter disease-free (P <.05; hazard ratio [HR], 2.2) period and a shorter surviva

    Amores de Alfonso VIII y Raquel, la judía de Toledo

    No full text
    La 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
