Doing Catalan Spanish: Pragmatic Resources And Discourse Strategies In Ways Of Speaking Spanish In Barcelona, Robert Vann
Doing Catalan Spanish: Pragmatic Resources And Discourse Strategies In Ways Of Speaking Spanish In Barcelona, Robert Vann
Robert Vann
The last decade has seen the publication of many corpus-based studies about Spanish in Catalonia. With an emphasis on the linguistic characteristics that Spanish in Catalonia maintains or has acquired as a result of its prolonged contact with Catalan, these studies have started to catalog the lexicon, phonology and morphosyntax of Spanish in Catalonia. Relatively little attention has been dedicated, however, to the pragmatics of Spanish in Catalonia, that is, to the discourse strategies that constitute Catalan ways of speaking Spanish. The present investigation proceeds in this direction by identifying some of the pragmatic resources employed in Catalan ways of …
Extra-Textual, Intra-Textual, And Neo-Baroque Constructions Of Violent Space In Three Women Writers From The Southern Cone, Gail Bulman
Gail A. Bulman
The purpose of this dissertation is to use feminist theories, semiotics, and current theories on the Neo-Baroque, to analyze the way in which three 1970's and 1980's Latin American women writers from the Southern Cone configure artistic space, in order to reveal how their representations of space reflect the poly-dimensional nature of violence. In each of the texts presented, (Informacion para extranjeros by Argentine Griselda Gambaro, Una pasion prohibida by Uruguayan Cristina Peri Rossi, and Por la patria by Chilean Diamela Eltit), the intra-textual space carries extra-textual signification in its representation of the local political and cultural violence of the …

Mi Mama Es Bonito: Acquisition Of Spanish Gender By Native English Speakers, Scott Alvord, Lisa Mccowen
Mi Mama Es Bonito: Acquisition Of Spanish Gender By Native English Speakers, Scott Alvord, Lisa Mccowen
Scott M Alvord
For an adult, learning a second language can be a complex and demanding task. Differences between one’s native language and the target language can contribute to the complexity of the task. One significant way in which languages can differ is the system of gender. The difference between gender in English and Spanish provides a challenge for adult native English speakers learning Spanish as a second language. The aim of the current study is to examine gender marking on a variety of tasks by adult NS of English as beginning learners of Spanish, with hopes that such examination will provide insight …
Descriptive Adequacy Vs. Psychological Reality: The Case Of Two Restrictions On Spanish Stress Placement, Scott Alvord, Timothy Face
Descriptive Adequacy Vs. Psychological Reality: The Case Of Two Restrictions On Spanish Stress Placement, Scott Alvord, Timothy Face
Scott M Alvord
This paper examines two supposed restrictions on Spanish stress placement: 1) the heavy penult condition, which prohibits stress leftward of the penultimate syllable if the penultimate syllable is heavy, and 2) the three-syllable window condition, which prohibits stress other than on one of the final three syllables of a word. While these two conditions are clearly descriptively adequate generalizations about the lexicon, this study sets out to determine whether they are psychologically real restrictions, serving as constraints that prohibit words that violate them. The results of a perception study indicate that neither of these conditions is a psychologically real restriction …
Spanish Intonation In Contact: The Case Of Miami Cuban Bilinguals, Scott Alvord
Spanish Intonation In Contact: The Case Of Miami Cuban Bilinguals, Scott Alvord
Scott M Alvord
The current dissertation provides a preliminary description of the intonation of two utterance types in Miami Cuban Spanish: broad focus declaratives and absolute interrogatives. An experimental phonology approach was taken to collect linguistic data in Miami, Florida. The data was collected and analyzed with the purpose of answering the following three research questions: 1. What are the characteristics of broad focus declarative intonation in Miami Spanish? 2. How do Miami Cubans differentiate between absolute (yes/no) interrogatives and lexically and syntactically identical declarative utterances? 3. Is the intonation system changing through subsequent generations of Miami Cubans? What are the social and …
Revolutionizing La Regenta: Parodic Transformation And Cinematic Innovation In Oviedo Express, Linda Willem
Revolutionizing La Regenta: Parodic Transformation And Cinematic Innovation In Oviedo Express, Linda Willem
Linda M. Willem
Applying Linda Hutcheon’s concept of parody as “an integrated structural modeling process of revising, replaying, inventing, and ‘trans-contextualizing’ previous works of art,” this article explores how film director Gonzalo Suárez incorporates the following source material into his 2007 comedy Oviedo Express: Leopoldo Alas’s La Regenta as well as Suárez’s own 1974 film adaptation of the novel and Fernando Méndez-Leite’s 1995 made-for-television adaptation of it; Stefan Zweig’s story “Angst” and Roberto Rossellini’s film Non credo più all’amore (La paura) based on it; and J. B. Priestley’s play Music at Night. After announcing his parodic enterprise with a quote from Priestley, Suárez …
