Abstract “Prosodic Cues Of Repetitions In Spanish Spontaneous Discourse”,, Pilar Munday Jan 1994

Abstract “Prosodic Cues Of Repetitions In Spanish Spontaneous Discourse”,, Pilar Munday

Languages Faculty Publications

When Spanish speakers repeat words or phrases in discourse, some repetitions are due to false starts or hesitations while others are used for emphasis or clarity. These will be referred to as ‘‘hesitations’’ and ‘‘emphasis’’ repetitions, respectively. Although the purpose of the repetition can often be determined from discourse context or part of speech, this study shows that there are also prosodic cues that serve to distinguish the two types. The speech data consist of all repetitions uttered by a male Colombian speaker over the course of a 1‐h spontaneous conversations. The following acoustic information was obtained for each utterance …


El Papel De La Mujer En El Teatro De Federico Garcia Lorca, John Rey Jan 1994

El Papel De La Mujer En El Teatro De Federico Garcia Lorca, John Rey

Theses : Honours

Federico Garcia Lorca is considered by many as the Spanish playwright with the strongest and acutest social conscience of the twentieth century in his country, especially regarding the plight of Spanish women. In this thesis, his fight for women's rights, his understanding of their frustrations, feelings, sufferings, their social predicament in an unchanging and anachronistic society will be explored by focusing on Lorca's commitment to changing the social status quo. A link will be established between Lorca's work and the influence that earlier playwrights had on him. Many Spanish playwrights were among the first ill Europe to spouse Erasmus' ideas …


La Politica Y El Arte En La Obra De Isabel Allende, Michael David Smith Jan 1994

La Politica Y El Arte En La Obra De Isabel Allende, Michael David Smith

Theses : Honours

The aim of this study is to analyse the political aspect of three of Isabel Allende's novels and the role this has played in the development of her fiction, and investigate the way in which reality and fantasy are woven together in her stories to produce a unique style in a South American setting. La casa de los espiritus recounts the lives, loves and politics of four generations of a South American family, finally culminating in a coup d'etat, followed by military atrocities. Although the country remains anonymous in Allende's novel, the circumstances and detailed description reveal to the informed …


Estereotipos Femininos Y Masculinos En Los Pazos De Ulloa Y La Regenta, Ema Luisa Flynn De Garcia Jan 1994

Estereotipos Femininos Y Masculinos En Los Pazos De Ulloa Y La Regenta, Ema Luisa Flynn De Garcia

Theses : Honours

The purpose of this thesis is to find possible feminine stereotypes in two XIX century Spanish novels, Los Pazos de Ulloa, written by Emilia Pardo Bazan, and La Regenta by Leopolda Alas "Ciarin", both considered realist or naturalists works of fiction. The analysis of the two novels is based on works with feminist perspectives regarding the way women are portrayed in fiction. The belated flowering of the Spanish realist and the naturalist novel came about due to the state Spain was in at the time in question. There was no industrial revolution in Spain as in other neighbouring countries and …


Ello Dispara De Fermín Cabal: Hacia Una Configuración Posmoderna Del Espacio Textual/Teatral, Sharon G. Feldman Jan 1994

Ello Dispara De Fermín Cabal: Hacia Una Configuración Posmoderna Del Espacio Textual/Teatral, Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Ya que estamos llegando al final (o, al desenlace) del siglo XX, casi se ha convertido en tópico la idea de señalar - semiológicamente hablando - la relación dinámica que existe en el teatro entre el texto y la representación de ese texto. Si vuelvo una vez más a esta dicotomía histórica, no es para establecer- como han hecho algunos semiólogos un modelo comunicativo que plantee la posibilidad de una relación dialéctica entre los dos términos, sino para observar hasta qué punto el teatro posmodernista plantea una ausencia y una imposibilidad de tal relación. Anne Ubersfeld propone la posibilidad de …
