El desenvolupament de la morfologia verbal: l'imperfet nord-occidental en la producció infantil

L'objectiu d'aquest article és contribuir a l'estudi de la morfologia verbal catalana, en aquest cas amb dades relatives a la varietat nord-occidental. Les formes que forneixen la part descriptiva corresponen a mostres de producció oral obtingudes en informants de 3 -4, 6- 7 i 11- 12 anys, la qual cosa signi ca una descripció morfològica del període de desenvolupament lingüístic del nen. Pel que fa a la interpretació dels resultats es proposa una perspectiva d'anàlisi que inclou tant les consideracions que tenen a veure amb aspectes interns del llenguatge com amb els de caràcter extern.

Aspectes metodològics del treball empíric en morfologia verbal

La redacció d'aquest article parteix d'una re flexió de l'autora sobre aspectes metodològics aplicats en els treballs que estudien alguns dels aspectes de la morfologia verbal, a partir de les mancances detectades a l'hora d'iniciar la seva recerca personal en aquest camp. L'objectiu d'aquest article es concreta finalment en tres aspectes. En primer lloc, tenir una idea clara de la complexitat del concepte de verb i les seves implicacions com a objecte de recerca. En segon lloc valorar els avantatges i els desavantatges d'algunes de les tècniques més emprades en els treballs de base empírica en l'anàlisi de la morfologia verbal partint d'exemples reals i, en darrer lloc, apuntar algunes idees sobre qüestions que caldria estudiar de forma conjunta en una dimensió pragmàtica de l'ús verbal.

Bystander responses to a violent incident in an immersive virtual environment

Under what conditions will a bystander intervene to try to stop a violent attack by one person on another? It is generally believed that the greater the size of the crowd of bystanders, the less the chance that any of them will intervene. A complementary model is that social identity is critical as an explanatory variable. For example, when the bystander shares common social identity with the victim the probability of intervention is enhanced, other things being equal. However, it is generally not possible to study such hypotheses experimentally for practical and ethical reasons. Here we show that an experiment that depicts a violent incident at life-size in immersive virtual reality lends support to the social identity explanation. 40 male supporters of Arsenal Football Club in England were recruited for a two-factor between-groups experiment: the victim was either an Arsenal supporter or not (in-group/out-group), and looked towards the participant for help or not during the confrontation. The response variables were the numbers of verbal and physical interventions by the participant during the violent argument. The number of physical interventions had a significantly greater mean in the ingroup condition compared to the out-group. The more that participants perceived that the Victim was looking to them for help the greater the number of interventions in the in-group but not in the out-group. These results are supported by standard statistical analysis of variance, with more detailed findings obtained by a symbolic regression procedure based on genetic programming. Verbal interventions made during their experience, and analysis of post-experiment interview data suggest that in-group members were more prone to confrontational intervention compared to the out-group who were more prone to make statements to try to diffuse the situation.

Morfologia flexiva i flexió verbal catalana

La característisca més notable dels sistemes flexius és la resistència que ofereixen a la tasca lingüística d'establir relacions entre morfs i morfemes. En sistemes d'aquesta classe, en efecte, les relacions esmentades són molt complexes, i fugen de la biunicitat pròpia dels sistemes aglutinants. Aclarir aquestes relacions, il·lustrant-les des de l'angle del verb català, i suggerir mecanismes formals per tractar-les dins un esquema generatiu constitueixen, de fet, els dos objectius fonamentals del present article.

Metabolic connectivity as index of verbal working memory.

Positron emission tomography (PET) data are commonly analyzed in terms of regional intensity, while covariant information is not taken into account. Here, we searched for network correlates of healthy cognitive function in resting state PET data. PET with [(18)F]-fluorodeoxyglucose and a test of verbal working memory (WM) were administered to 35 young healthy adults. Metabolic connectivity was modeled at a group level using sparse inverse covariance estimation. Among 13 WM-relevant Brodmann areas (BAs), 6 appeared to be robustly connected. Connectivity within this network was significantly stronger in subjects with above-median WM performance. In respect to regional intensity, i.e., metabolism, no difference between groups was found. The results encourage examination of covariant patterns in FDG-PET data from non-neurodegenerative populations.

The Reality of Neandertal Symbolic Behavior at the Grotte du Renne, Arcy-sur-Cure, France

The question of whether symbolically mediated behavior is exclusive to modern humans or shared with anatomically archaic populations such as the Neandertals is hotly debated. At the Grotte du Renne, Arcy-sur-Cure, France, the Châtelperronian levels contain Neandertal remains and large numbers of personal ornaments, decorated bone tools and colorants, but it has been suggested that this association reflects intrusion of the symbolic artifacts from the overlying Protoaurignacian and/or of the Neandertal remains from the underlying Mousterian.

A New Symptom, 'Palinendophonia', Associated with Pure Verbal Palinacousis Induced by a Right Inferior Temporal Lesion.

We describe the case of a patient with pure verbal palinacousis and perseveration of inner speech after a right inferior temporal lesion. The superior temporal lobe, including the superior temporal sulcus and the interhemispheric connection between the 2 superior temporal lobes, explored by tractography, were preserved. These regions are involved in voice processing, verbal short-term memory and inner speech. It can then be hypothesised that abnormal activity in this network has occurred. Palinacousis and 'palinendophonia', a term proposed for this symptom not previously reported, may be due to common cognitive processes disorders involved in both voice hearing and inner speech.
