“Yo Vivo En Euskara, No Como Defensa, No Como Arma, Sino Como Una Manera De Ser.” Conversación Con La Escritora Jasone Osoro, Iker González-Allende Jan 2008

“Yo Vivo En Euskara, No Como Defensa, No Como Arma, Sino Como Una Manera De Ser.” Conversación Con La Escritora Jasone Osoro, Iker González-Allende

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

Jasone Osoro (Elgoibar, 1971) es una de las escritoras más destacadas y con mayor repercusión mediática en el panorama contemporáneo de las letras vascas. Tras estudiar Periodismo, ha trabajado en diversos medios de comunicación, pero son sus obras literarias las que principalmente le han otorgado el reconocimiento del público. En su primer libro de relatos, Tentazioak (“Tentaciones”), publicado en 1998, se halla una fuerte presencia del erotismo y de la sexualidad, lo que supuso una gran novedad en la literatura escrita en euskara. Con su segunda obra, Korapiloak (“Nudos”), del 2001, Osoro continuó disfrutando de un abrumador éxito de ventas, …


Review Of Teaching Representations Of The Spanish Civil War, Ed. Noël Valis, Iker González-Allende Jan 2008

Review Of Teaching Representations Of The Spanish Civil War, Ed. Noël Valis, Iker González-Allende

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

There is no doubt that the publication of Teaching Representations of the Spanish Civil War is clearly justified by the increasing number of university courses--both in English and in Spanish-dedicated to the study of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). As the editor, Noël Valis, points out, the intention of the book is to guide instructors in the diverse ways in which the wide variety of materials pertaining to the Spanish Civil War may be presented in the classroom. Nevertheless, the volume also raises interesting questions for researchers who work on this topic, such as the importance that race played during …


El Viaje Por La Memoria En La Hora Sin Sombra, Amalia Ran Jan 2008

El Viaje Por La Memoria En La Hora Sin Sombra, Amalia Ran

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

Diez años de la muerte de Osvaldo Soriano (1943-97), y las causas representadas en su obra y por las cuales peleaba siguen intactas. Con su estilo conciso y económico, Soriano logró condensar dentro de lo poético ciertos dilemas fundamentales de una sociedad que "se soñaba de clase media, rubia y primer mundo" (Saccomanno 3), para criticar esta visión ilusoria y para demandar que se viera otro tipo de realidad. La infancia perdida, las identidades cambiadas, los fracasos del hombre frente a la gran "máquina" estatal, el culto político a los muertos, fueron temas recurrentes en sus novelas, siempre con un …

Variability In L1 And L2 French Wh- Interrogatives: The Roles Of Communicative Function, Wh- Word, And Metalinguistic Awareness, Elizabeth Zwanziger Jan 2008

Variability In L1 And L2 French Wh- Interrogatives: The Roles Of Communicative Function, Wh- Word, And Metalinguistic Awareness, Elizabeth Zwanziger

Faculty Publications

Research on variability in French interrogatives and the factors affecting word order in questions has many foci, but largely centers around socio-stylistic factors. In contrast, this dissertation explores two under-investigated constraints on French questions: communicative function and WH-element as well as the role metalinguistic awareness plays in the question structure produced. A corpus of 1200 questions each for L1 (n=30) and advanced L2 (n=30) groups was collected via a Discourse Elicitation Task crossing five communicative functions (echo, presupposition, topic-introduction, rhetorical, and self-addressed) and four WH-words (où, pourquoi, combien, and qui). Post DCT, the participants were interviewed regarding metalinguistic knowledge affecting …
