Petrarca y las primeras ediciones de Terencio

[ES] De entre las ediciones de Terencio publicadas en las primeras décadas de la imprenta, las de Vindelino de Espira son las que muestran una mayor voluntad filológica y, sin duda, las que ofrecen un texto más correcto. Estas ediciones dependen del texto terenciano reconstruido por Petrarca: concretamente, IGI 9408 desciende de una fase textual anterior a la que queda fijada en 1358 y responde además a algunos de los criterios propugnados por Petrarca en la Vita Terrentii; IGI 9409, por su parte, depende —parcialmente— del texto de 1358 y muestra indicios de haber sufrido la influencia de otro ejemplar de Petrarca. En fin, la presencia de la Vita Terrentii en la transmisión impresa de Terencio es una muestra más de la vigencia de la filología terencia de Petrarca durante aquellos años.

Social Interactions and Subjective Well-Being: Evidence from Latin America

In this paper, we seek to examine the effect of comparisons and social capital on subjective well-being. Furthermore, we test if, through social influence and exposure, social capital is either an enhancer or appeaser of the comparison effect. Using the Latinobarómetro Survey (2007) we find that in contrast to most previous studies, the comparison effect on well-being is positive; that is, the better others perform, the happier the individual is. We also find that social capital is among the strongest correlates of individuals’ subjective well-being in Latin American countries. Furthermore, our findings suggest that social contacts may enhance the comparison effect on individual’s happiness, which is more intense for those who perform worse in their reference group.

An Analysis of English, Spanish and Basque Demonstratives in Narrative: a Matter of Viewpoint

[EN]This paper undertakes the study of the occurrence of non-corresponding demonstrative forms in Spanish, Basque and English in exactly the same linguistic context. It is proposed that the differenccs in the choice of the demonstratives result from the differences in the kind of iniormation that must be coded in each of the languages. Thus, I will argue that in Spanish and Basque the obligatory coding of the aspectual categories of the imperfect and the preterit has the function of imposing specific viewing arrangements onto the situations they designate. By contrast, in English, where the aspectual distinction is not overtly coded, the demonstrativcs are proposed to fulfil this function.

Internationalisation, multilingualism and English-medium instruction: the teacher's perspective

[EN]In the newEuropean higher education space, Universities in Europe are exhorted to cultivate and develop multilingualism. The European Commission’s 2004–2006 action plan for promoting language learning and diversity speaks of the need to build an environment which is favourable to languages. Yet reality indicates that it is English which reigns supreme and has become the main foreign language used as means of instruction at European universities. Internationalisation has played a key role in this process, becoming one of the main drivers of the linguistic hegemony exerted by English. In this paper we examine the opinions of teaching staff involved in English-medium instruction, from pedagogical ecologyof-language and personal viewpoints. Data were gathered using group discussion. The study was conducted at a multilingual Spanish university where majority (Spanish), minority (Basque) and foreign (English) languages coexist, resulting in some unavoidable linguistic strains. The implications for English-medium instruction are discussed at the end of this paper.

About the limits of metalanguage: An essay on the modelisation of Latin grammatical lexicography

[EN] Progress in methodology in specific fields is usually very closely linked to the technological progress in other areas of knowledge. This justifies the fact that lexicographical techniques have had to wait for the arrival of the IT era of the last decades of the 20th century in order to be able to create specialised electronic dictionaries which can house and systemise enormous amounts of information which can later be dealt with quickly and efficiently. This study proposes a practical-methodological model which aims to solve the grammatical treatment of adverbs in Ancient Latin. We have suggested a list of 5 types, in a decreasing order from a greater to lesser degree of specialisation; technical (T), semi-technical (S-T), instrumental-valued (I-V), instrumental- descriptive (I-D), instrumental-expository (I-E).

Tibulo en la literatura europea (con especial atención a la inglesa): la pervivencia de la elegía latina

[ES] Este trabajo muestra ejemplos de la difusión que, como modelo, ha tenido el "corpus Tibullianum" en la poesía de Occidente. Ponemos de relieve su apreciación en Inglaterra, donde hemos encontrado un interesante grupo tanto de imitaciones expresas y como de composiciones de diverso signo que se aproximan a la elegía latina a través de Tibulo. La mayor parte de estos testimonios se sitúan en los siglos XVlI y XVIII, coincidiendo con las primeras traducciones inglesas, y terminan con los poetas románticos, que como Byron ya adelantan la actitud de nuestro tiempo ante el "corpus Tibullianum", entre un cierto olvido y admiración.
