Funciones de los mecanismos de categorización nominal en lenguas indígenas sudamericanas

Los mecanismos de clasificación suelen, en algunas lenguas, interactuar con los de derivación, dando lugar con ello a un enriquecimiento del léxico. Géneros, clases nominales y clasificadores pueden entonces presentar una productividad derivativa y contribuir con ello al contenido semántico de los sustantivos a los cuales clasifican, proveyendo muchas veces información acerca de la forma o de la función que cumplen. En este trabajo reflexionaremos, a partir de ejemplos tomados de un conjunto de lenguas indígenas sudamericanas, acerca de la función -más allá de la de categorizar nominales- de los mencionados mecanismos clasificatorios, particularmente en los casos donde se verifique algún tipo de proceso de derivación nominal

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.

Unidentified vehicle in multi-vehicle accident - failure to notify Nominal Defendant no bar to proceedings against it

In Kumar v Suncorp Metway Insurance Limited [2004] QSC 381 Douglas J examined s37 of the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 (Qld) in the context of an accident involving multiple insurers when a notice of accident had not been given to the Nominal Defendant

Problems of Proto-Slavic Historical Nominal Morphology : On the Basis of Old Church Slavic

In this study I offer a diachronic solution for a number of difficult inflectional endings in Old Church Slavic nominal declensions. In this context I address the perhaps most disputed and the most important question of the Slavic nominal inflectional morphology: whether there was in Proto-Slavic an Auslautgesetz (ALG), a law of final syllables, that narrowed the Proto-Indo-European vowel */o/ to */u/ in closed word-final syllables. In addition, the work contains an exhaustive morphological classification of the nouns and adjectives that occur in canonical Old Church Slavic. I argue that Proto-Indo-European */o/ became Proto-Slavic */u/ before word-final */s/ and */N/. This conclusion is based on the impossibility of finding credible analogical (as opposed to phonological) explanations for the forms supporting the ALG hypothesis, and on the survival of the neuter gender in Slavic. It is not likely that the */o/-stem nominative singular ending */-u/ was borrowed from the accusative singular, because the latter would have been the only paradigmatic form with the stem vowel */-u-/. It is equally unlikely that the ending */-u/ was borrowed from the */u/-stems, because the latter constituted a moribund class. The usually stated motivation for such an analogical borrowing, i.e. a need to prevent the merger of */o/-stem masculines with neuters of the same class, is not tenable. Extra-Slavic, as well as intra-Slavic evidence suggests that phonologically-triggered mergers between two semantically opaque genders do not tend to be prevented, but rather that such mergers lead to the loss of the gender opposition in question. On the other hand, if */-os/ had not become */-us/, most nouns and, most importantly, all adjectives and pronouns would have lost the formal distinction between masculines and neuters. This would have necessarily resulted in the loss of the neuter gender. A new explanation is given for the most apparent piece of evidence against the ALG hypothesis, the nominative-accusative singular of the */es/-stem neuters, e.g. nebo 'sky'. I argue that it arose in late Proto-Slavic dialects, replacing regular nebe, under the influence of the */o/- and */yo/-stems where a correlation had emerged between a hard root-final consonant and the termination -o, on the one hand, and a soft root-final consonant and the termination -e, on the other.

Informe criminológico. La derivación de un caso a mediación intrajudicial

El informe criminológico es un documento de carácter técnico que no contiene elementos jurídicos que tiene por objeto auxiliar e ilustrar a aquellos profesionales que carecen de conocimientos en materia criminológica. Este tipo de informe en concreto, tiene por objeto ayudar a la administración de justicia, tratando de proporcionarle al juez una visión más amplia e integral sobre el hecho criminal así como de las diferentes posibilidades de restaurar el daño causado por el hecho.En este caso en concreto, se realizará el correspondiente informe criminológico para estimar o valorar la viabilidad de derivar un asunto concreto a los servicios de mediación intrajudicial del Gobierno Vasco.

A referenciação e o mundo de nossos discursos: do sintagma nominal à construção das cadeias referenciais do texto escrito

A presente tese revisita uma velha questão: como a língua refere o mundo? Para tanto, apresenta um percurso teórico que vai da referência à referenciação, do referente ao objeto-do-discurso. Trata, assim, de questões relativas a léxico, semântica, sintaxe, pragmática, cognição, para analisar aspectos da textualidade, notadamente a coesão referencial, passeando principalmente por teorias funcionalistas e da Linguística Textual. Buscando um aproveitamento prático das questões teóricas levantadas, propõe-se a leitura e a interpretação de textos literários e não literários cujos modos de organização do discurso variam entre argumentativo, narrativo, descritivo, expositivo, injuntivo através do acompanhamento das cadeias referenciais e do fluxo de informação do texto. Acompanhar as categorizações e recategorizações das expressões referenciais (presentes nos sintagmas nominais), a introdução e reintrodução dos tópicos discursivos possibilita analisar como ocorre, na interação autor-leitor, a construção dos sentidos e do mundo de nossos discursos

Performance evaluation of multiplexed model predictive control for a large airliner in nominal and contingency scenarios

Model predictive control allows systematic handling of physical and operational constraints through the use of constrained optimisation. It has also been shown to successfully exploit plant redundancy to maintain a level of control in scenarios when faults are present. Unfortunately, the computational complexity of each individual iteration of the algorithm to solve the optimisation problem scales cubically with the number of plant inputs, so the computational demands are high for large MIMO plants. Multiplexed MPC only calculates changes in a subset of the plant inputs at each sampling instant, thus reducing the complexity of the optimisation. This paper demonstrates the application of multiplexed model predictive control to a large transport airliner in a nominal and a contingency scenario. The performance is compared to that obtained with a conventional synchronous model predictive controller, designed using an equivalent cost function. © 2012 AACC American Automatic Control Council).

Why do nominal characteristics acquire status value? A minimal explanation for status construction.

Why do beliefs that attach different amounts of status to different categories of people become consensually held by the members of a society? We show that two microlevel mechanisms, in combination, imply a system-level tendency toward consensual status beliefs about a nominal characteristic. (1) Status belief diffusion: a person who has no status belief about a characteristic can acquire a status belief about that characteristic from interacting with one or more people who have that status belief. (2) Status belief loss: a person who has a status belief about a characteristic can lose that belief from interacting with one or more people who have the opposite status belief. These mechanisms imply that opposite status beliefs will tend to be lost at equal rates and will tend to be acquired at rates proportional to their prevalence. Therefore, if a status belief ever becomes more prevalent than its opposite, it will increase in prevalence until every person holds it.
