Bilingualism In Gibraltar: Focus Constructions Of Bilingual Spanish-English Grammars And The Syntax-Discourse Interface, K. Elaine Mcilwraith Jan 2007

Bilingualism In Gibraltar: Focus Constructions Of Bilingual Spanish-English Grammars And The Syntax-Discourse Interface, K. Elaine Mcilwraith

Digitized Theses

Current investigations on bilingualism have shown a tendency for bilingual grammars to display a divergence from monolingual target grammars at the syntaxdiscourse interface. Generally, the grammars studied have been those of first or second generation bilinguals. In order to argue that this divergence is an inevitable characteristic of bilingual grammars, further exploration of various types of bilinguals is necessary. The present investigation examines the discourse operator, focus, in neutral and presentational contexts. Neutral focus is determined by syntax whereas presentational focus is determined by the activation of FocP by the syntax-discourse interface. Results show that the following hypotheses were supported …

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

Aunque el acceso a la educación primaria en Guatemala se incrementó en los últimos años, especialmente en las áreas rurales, los índices de finalización de escuela primaria y de alfabetismo corespondeientes a personas jóvenes continúan estando entre los más bajos de Latinoamérica, y persisten otros problemas como el ingreso tardío, la repetición de cursos y el abandono temprano. Se estima que el índice de alfabetismo entre adultos es del 85 por ciento en Latinoamérica en general, comparado con sólo un 70 por ciento en Guatemala. Aunque los pueblos indígenas en Latinoamérica por lo general tienen menos escolaridad que los no …

Las Niñas Rezagadas: Dirigir Las Intervenciones De Vih Hacia Las Más Vulnerables, Judith Bruce

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

Al ingresar en la tercera década de la pandemia del VIH en el África subsahariana, las mujeres jóvenes—a menudo adolescentes—conforman el nuevo rostro de la enfermedad. En especial, el VIH/SIDA amenaza a aquellas niñas y mujeres jóvenes con limitados posibilidades sociales y económicas; quienes que no pueden evitar, controlar o abandonar las relaciones sexuales inseguras, dentro y fuera del matrimonio. Las niñas que están en riesgo de ser explotatas sexualmente no constituyen una pequeña minoría; se calculan en cientos de millones. Promoción de transiciones a la vida adulta: Sanas, seguras y productivas N° 23 explora: los determinantes estructurales de riesgo, …

Educación Sobre Sexualidad Y Vih: Tiempo Para Un Cambio De Paradigma, Nicole Haberland, Deborah Rogow

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

Durante décadas, la educación sexual basada en un programa de estudio fue la piedra angular de los esfuerzos de la escuela y de la comunidad para mejorar la salud sexual y reproductiva de los jóvenes y, en forma más reciente, para prevenir la infección de VIH. Desafortunadamente, el discurso público sobre educación sexual ha estado envuelto en debates contradictorios que sirven para distraer la atención en lugar de determinar en que manera los programas de educación sobre sexualidad y VIH podrían alcanzar mejor los objetivos compartidos de las distintas partes. Una reseña exhaustiva que se realizó recientemente sobre el impacto …


Reducir La Exclusión Social Des Las Niñas, Kelly Hallman, Eva Roca Jan 2007

Reducir La Exclusión Social Des Las Niñas, Kelly Hallman, Eva Roca

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

En todo el mundo, las niñas son sistemáticamente excluidas de la participación en la vida social, económica y política. La ausencia de niñas en estos terrenos tiene consecuencias, no solo para las mismas jóvenes sino también para la sociedad en su totalidad, ya que se exacerba la pobreza y se perpetúan las disparidades de salud, educación y éxito económico. A nivel internacional, esta marginación dificulta o hace imposible que algunos países logren objetivos en toda la sociedad, como los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio, considerados por las Naciones Unidas como parámetros para reducir la pobreza. Desde hace algunos años, el …

Guías De Referencia: Para Instituciones Y Establecimientos De Salud Que Buscan Acreditar La Calidad Y Enfoque De Género De Sus Servicios, Patricia Riveros Hamel, Erica Palenque, Ricardo Vernon, Ignacio Carreno

Reproductive Health

Esta guía busca presentar todos los elementos para que las organizaciones de salud reproductiva puedan implantar un sistema para mejorar la calidad de los servicios y su sensibilidad a asuntos de género a través de una estrategia de acreditación. La estrategia de acreditación comienza con una evaluación de las condiciones y servicios que ofrece la clínica, lo que permite identificar los estándares de calidad que no son cumplidos. Posteriormente, el personal de la clínica toma como insumo esta información y elabora un plan de trabajo para resolver los problemas identificados. Si la clínica demuestra cumplir cuando menos el 80 por …

Principios Y Estrategias Para El Crecimiento De La Iglesia Adventista Del Séptimo Día Hispana De Baltimore, Maryland, Ronald Lizeth Costa Estades Jan 2007

Principios Y Estrategias Para El Crecimiento De La Iglesia Adventista Del Séptimo Día Hispana De Baltimore, Maryland, Ronald Lizeth Costa Estades

Doctor of Ministry Projects

The objective of the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20) includes growth. Throughout Christian history, the church has grown. At the same time, qualitative growth enhances quantitative growth. Both are needed in response to the Great Commission. The Seventh-day Adventist Church would benefit from adopting a philosophy that promotes a wholistic growth of the church. This thesis studied such growth and elaborated a strategy for the Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church in Baltimore to reach well-rounded growth.

The first step was to study church growth in the Bible. A careful study of the Great Commission throws light on discipleship, a key to church …

French And Spanish In Contact: Code-Switching Among Spanish Immigrants In France, Anna Michalina Debicka-Dyer Dec 2006

French And Spanish In Contact: Code-Switching Among Spanish Immigrants In France, Anna Michalina Debicka-Dyer

Theses and Dissertations

This sociolinguistic study of the bilingual speech of Spanish immigrants in Toulouse, France focuses on the phenomenon of code-switching (CS). The analysis of the data showed that most CS was situational, rather than metaphorical. Three types of CS were found: insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization. Their examination revealed that the insertion of French words was more common than of Spanish items, the alternation was most frequent in repetitions, and the congruent lexicalization was present at the grammatical and structural level. The speech of the individual participants was also analyzed, and it was found that the sociological aspects greatly affected the …
