El diminutivo en el espa��ol de Santo Domingo

Esta investigaci��n analiza el uso del sufijo diminutivo en un corpus oral de j��venes de la Rep��blica Dominicana. El material procede de la transcripci��n de veinte entrevistas orales realizadas en los a��os noventa en Santo Domingo. En este estudio se realiza un an��lisis de las ocurrencias documentadas, su morfología, sus preferencias en cuanto a la selecci��n de las clases de palabras que se toman como base para la formaci��n de diminutivos, sus posibles valores sem��nticos y comunicativos, y, por ��ltimo, se determina la frecuencia de uso del diminutivo en funci��n del sexo de los hablantes.

Estructura formal, textual y oral del discurso p��blico

Estructura formal, textual y oral del discurso p��blicoExisten tres competencias comunicativas muy valoradas en la sociedad de la informaci��n. Primero, la b��squeda, selecci��n y gesti��n de grandes cantidades de informaci��n. Segundo, la redacci��n de textos claros, concisos y rigurosos. Y en tercer lugar, la exposici��n y defensa oral de esta informaci��n en un discurso p��blico. Tradicionalmente, los estudios de periodismo han abordado estas competencias de forma independiente. Pero actualmente, instituciones y empresas de ��mbitos diferentes demandan un perfil profesional capaz de aplicarlas ante cualquier tipo de informaci��n y con objetivos diversos. Se propone un modelo integral en tres niveles estructurales basado en teor��as, conceptos y estudios espec��ficos de periodismo, oratoria, ret��rica… o comunicaci��n, en los ��ltimos a��os. Este modelo puede contribuir a encauzar las investigaciones de acad��micos y representa una herramienta de entrenamiento para profesionales.

The Standard ISO 15489-1 in German and Spanish: an Interlinguistic Comparison

The aim of this paper is to deepen in the terminology of Records Management established by ISO standards, through a concrete example such as an interlinguistic comparison between UNE ISO 15489-1 and DIN ISO 15489-1, that is, between the Spanish and German versions of the ISO 15489-1. For that, the text is divided into two major and complementary parts, which are similar to both analytical perspectives adopted: the semantic one and the pragmatic one. The first one compares the words per se, taking into account the significant or word form as well as the significance or meaning. In the second part, examples of use from both languages are discussed, concerning the three terms considered essential in the text (Record, Records Management System and Records Management). The main conclusion lies in understanding how important the language is as a discrete tool of work for all information scientists, specially concerning to the standards, where the translators must show their best linguistic strategies to go unnoticed.

La fijaci��n l��xica en el "Corpus diacr��nico del espa��ol del Reino de Granada (CORDEREGRA)"

El estudio de las combinaciones l��xicas seg��n su grado de fijaci��n y su distinci��n en combinaciones libres, colocaciones y locuciones ha sido realizado desde la perspectiva sincr��nica. Planteamos la posibilidad de aplicar las pautas para distinguir estos tipos de estructuras en materiales de tipo diacr��nico. Concretamente, nos basamos en los documentos que componen el Corpus del Espa��ol del Reino de Granada (CORDEREGRA) para valorar los materiales de este corpus hist��rico-ling����stico y comprobar si los criterios sincr��nicos se pueden aplicar al estudio de documentos de otros siglos.

Teaching morphology trough communicative approach and cooperative learning in Secondary Education: practical proposal

We will be presenting the following practical proposal that will consist of two sessions implemented with different courses of Secondary Education (ESO) of the Colegio C��rculo Cat��lico (Catholic School Group), located in the city of Burgos. Each session lasts 55 minutes. These sessions focus on the morphology of the Spanish language. Its design has been carried out by keeping in mind the theoretical basis of the communicative approach and cooperative learning.

La lengua como canon y como objeto de cr��tica en la gram��tica normativa

La selecci��n de las muestras de ejemplos que se emplean en la codificaci��n normativa del espa��ol est�� relacionada con las concepciones te��ricas que en cada ��poca hist��rica sirven de base para acometer la reflexi��n gramatical. La autoridad sobre el uso ha correspondido tradicionalmente en la preceptiva acad��mica a las fuentes literarias, que se han empleado fundamentalmente para ilustrar la pauta normativa tanto en la labor lexicogr��fica como en la gramatical. La incorporaci��n de nuevas tipolog��as textuales en la producci��n acad��mica est�� vinculada a un cambio en la concepci��n te��rica en la que una lengua ya no es concebida como un bloque monol��tico y homog��neo, sino donde la variaci��n ling����stica se constituye en rasgo inherente a su misma condici��n hist��rica. De ah�� que no resulte extra��o que en la n��mina de textos sea cada vez m��s frecuente encontrar un amplio corpus conformado por publicaciones peri��dicas. Esta incorporaci��n de muestras period��sticas en la reciente producci��n acad��mica, materializada en el Diccionario panhisp��nico de dudas (2005) y en la Nueva gram��tica de la lengua espa��ola (2009), viene a suplir en cierta medida tambi��n el silencio normativo acad��mico ante las dudas y vacilaciones ling����sticas planteadas por los profesionales de los medios de comunicaci��n. Tras el rastreo hist��rico de la aparici��n de muestras period��sticas en la ejemplificaci��n normativa acad��mica, se tratar�� de establecer si se ha producido un cambio en la funcionalidad de estas citas de manera que no sean ya empleadas exclusivamente con la valoraci��n de ejemplaridad idiom��tica, tal y como se utilizaban fundamentalmente las muestras extra��das de los textos literarios en la labor de codificaci��n tradicional de la Academia, sino tambi��n como variantes incorrectas objeto de una cr��tica m��s o menos velada hacia determinados usos circunscritos mayoritariamente al discurso period��stico actual.

Grammar in dictionaries revisited: the case of verbs with se

This paper is a study about the way in which se structures are represented in 20 verb entries of nine dictionaries of Spanish language. There is a large number of these structures and they are problematic for native and non native speakers. Verbs of the analysis are middle-high frequency and, in the most part of the cases, very polysemous, and this allows to observe interconnections between the different se structures and the different meanings of each verb. Data of the lexicographic analysis are cross-checked with corpus analysis of the same units. As a result, it is observed that there is a large variety in the data which are offered in each dictionary and in the way they are offered, inter and intradictionary. The reasons range from the theoretical overall of each Project to practical performance. This leads to the conclusion that it is necessary to further progress in the dictionary model it is being handled, in order to offer lexico-grammatical phenomenon such as se verbs in an accurate, clear and exhaustive way.

From "ecological tourism" to "ecotourism": lexical analysis of an emerging tourism

From ecological tourism to ecotourism: lexical analysis of an emerging tourism. This article deals with the lexicon created in connection with a recent form of tourism: the ecological tourism or ecotourism. The rise of this type of tourism encourages the creation of new concepts and products that are named with new words and expressions with different procedures of formation. From the name itself ecotourism, then expressed as the acronym ecotourism, we analyze the formation of other related words, as well as their formal variation and use. For this, we have worked with a specific corpus of electronic tourist texts and different digital sources and databases.

Imperative, subjunctive, and the desiderative-appellative space in Spanish

After defining the “enunciative scheme” (sentence type) as a communicative unit, the imperative is characterized as a morphologized modality of appellative kind used when the following conditions occur: appellative meaning, 2nd person, future tense and absence of negation. In Spanish, any variation of any of these requirements determines that the subjunctive is used. We reject the idea that the imperative is a variant of subjunctive specialized in appellative function and that both modes share a desiderative morpheme. Working in this way means attributing to a morphological category of the verb a property that actually corresponds to the enunciative schemes (sentence types). We propose to integrate the imperative and subjunctive in the framework of what we call the “desiderative-appellative space”. This “space” brings together various grammatical or grammaticalized means based on the imperative and the subjunctive. Semantically, it is organized around a component of desirability (action appears as desirable) that, by varying several factors, configures a route that goes from a center (the imperative) to a periphery (the expression of desire).
