Relative Connectives in Present-Day English: A Corpus-Based Analysis
Authors: Díaz Pérez Francisco Javier
Published: December 2024

The main objective of this study is to analyse the most important aspects which determine the selection of relative connectives in present-day English. The data have been extracted from the 180 relative clauses contained in three files of the Lancaster Parsed Corpus, which is a subset of the LancasterOslo/Bergen Corpus. The first of these files has material extracted from the press, the second one corresponds to scientific English and the third one contains clauses extracted from narrative texts. The three files total 27004 words. Grillllmatical factors, such as the function of the relative pronoun or the type of the noun phrase antecedent, have been found to influence the choice of the relative linkword. Some cognitive strategies which are aimed at making the production and understanding of relative clauses easier also condition the selection of the connective. Finally, the stylistic characteristics of the three genres analysed have also been proved to have an effect over the disuibution of the relative pronouns.
Subject Clauses in Old English: Do They Really Exist?
Authors: Méndez Naya Belén
Published: December 2024

Recently, the existence of subject clauses in Old English has been denied mainly because clauses do not occur in sentence initial position. This paper argues that the alternative analyses put forward in the literature fail to account for the linguistic data and that occurence in initial position is not a relevant criterion for subjects at this early stage in the development of English.
Unplanned Vocabulary Instruction: A Case Study of Three Second Language Classrooms
Authors: Tragant Elsa , Trenchs Mireia
Published: December 2024

Most second language classes devote some of their time to vocabulary activities that have been previously planned by the teacher. However, there are also occasions where the focus of the classroom talk is also on vocabulary as problems, questions, or situations that spontaneously arise in the course of a lesson. The present paper analyzes instances of both teacher and peer unplanned vocabulary instrnction and describe them. The lessons under analysis come from three ESL classes of undergraduate students in Spain taught by three teachers. The results show aspects in which teacher instruction differs from peer instruction, as well as aspects in which the three teachers show a different style in giving vocabulary instruction.
Post-Human: The Cultural Limits of "Cyberpunk"
Authors: Francisco Collado Rodríguez  , Sergio A. Salvador Sebastián
Published: December 2024

This paper is in itself a hybrid form, as hybridity is also one of its main concerns. The authors of this “article plus interview” are at pains to fight back the effects of the poststructuralist belief in the undecidability of meaning: they try to fix the meaning of SF genre cyberpunk. In order to accomplish this fixing task they point out the assumedly most remarkable features of the 1980s genre: its interest in literary renewal, its antihumanist stance, and its most interesting topoi, namely the gloomy landscape, the individual independent hero, and the transgression of the dichotomic animate/inanimate. Their analysis leads the authors to conclude the paradoxical hybridity of cyberpunk, by them temporarily located between some old humanist and modernist values and the opposing stance of the postmodernity. These theoretical lucubrations are followed by an interview to cyberpunk author Bruce Sterling where he discusses about beginnings and ends of the literary SF movement and depicts the new type of cybernetic human that is sprouting from our technotronic Western civilization. The paper ends with a list of Sterling’s suggested readings for anyone interested in the genre.
Modulación de mundos imaginarios a través de dos técnicas de presentación del tiempo en "Dance of the Happy Shades"
Authors: María Jesús Hernáez Lerena
Published: December 2024

Paul Ricoeur señaló que el análisis de las técnicas de aceleración y desaceleración en las narraciones permitía comprender mejor la trama y la caracterización. Las conclusiones de Genette nos han servido de punto de partida para explorar cómo la escritora canadiense Alice Munro ha explorado un modo específico de presentación temporal para crear mundos en los que el tiempo se detiene y los personajes se construyen a partir de unos pocos rasgos inmutables. Esta perspectiva temporal, que suele denominarse «iterativa», destruye la esencia del tiempo real, que contiene una implacable capacidad para alterar las cosas. El uso abrumador del modo iterativo en los relatos de Munro moldea nuestra experiencia de lectura hacia un ejercicio similar de comprensión: no encontraremos ninguna secuencia culminante de acontecimientos, ningún cambio en las actitudes de los personajes, ninguna situación alterada. El sentido de la historia está en otra parte, ya que los designios del destino no tienen cabida en estos mundos estáticos. El relato iterativo presta especial atención a una atmósfera absorbente en la que los personajes se ven atrapados por sus hábitos recurrentes o sus rarezas de comportamiento. En lugar de registrar el flujo de la experiencia tal y como afectaría a una serie de personajes, el narrador prefiere inventar un tiempo hipotético en el que puedan moverse sin verse afectados por el cambio. De este modo, el lector los recuerda como figuras nítidas cuyos rasgos más significativos quedan plasmados de forma visual y permanente, como si se tomara una instantánea que retuviera para siempre a los personajes en ese mundo concreto.
Some Insights into the Teaching of Translation
Authors: Ignacio M. Palacios Martínez
Published: December 2024

In the last few years, great attention has been paid to the field of translation. In fact, Translation Studies has been fully established as a discipline in its own right. However, professionals in translation have not been overly concerned with the actual teaching of translation. The didactics of this discipline has mainly consisted in the mechanical manipulation of a variety of texts, together with boring grammar practice. In most cases a structural and/or a contrastive approach has been adopted and translation as an act of communication and a cognitive process has been almost disregarded. Consequently, the results obtained and the areas covered are relatively limited. This paper starts first by considering the nature of translation and its role in the Spanish educational system and then goes on to present and describe in detail a series of activities, which have already been tried out with a group of first year English Philology students, as simple examples of creative translation teaching.
The Passive as a Style Marker in Early Modern English: Evidence from the Helsinki Corpus
Authors: Elena Seoane Posse
Published: December 2024

This paper offers a description of the stylistic dimension of the passive in the Early Modern English period as represented in the computerised Helsinki Corpus of English Texts. The first section examines the stylistic factors which determine the choice of a passive over an active clause. In the second section, EModE be-passives are analysed to discover the reasons for the association between passive constructions and formal styles in that period. Statistical data drawn from the corpus reveal that in EModE the correlation between the passive voice and formal registers is not primarily due to the requirement of impersonality, as is claimed for Present-day English, and that other factors also condition the preference for passives in formal registers of English.

Modernism in Transition: The Expatriate American Magazine in Europe between the World Wars
Authors: Monk Craig
Published: December 2024

The generation of expatriate Americans who spent the period between the world wars in Europe captured the imagination of critics and readers throughout the twentieth century. But while we know their works —and a great deal about their personal excesses— relatively little attention has been paid to the manner in which they facilitated their literary success. For many expatriate Amencan writers, little magazines aided in printing material that commercial publishers would not touch, and the flexibility of these publications allowed the exchange of texts between Europe and the United States. Because modern writers were "self-canonizing", they actually assisted in the "writing" of modernism: we can see many of the threads of the modern canon in these little magazines. But the tension felt by little magazine editors —the tension between an avant-garde impulse to abandon tradition and a more conservative desire to reform art to include their visions— is also inherent in modernism. This essay underlines the importance of the little magazine to modern expatriate American writing, and seeks to further contextulize this writing within modernism itself.
Modernism in Black and White: American Jazz in Interwar Europe
Authors: Lucas John
Published: December 2024

This essay is partly about how and why Paris became the great good place for American jazzmen and women in the 1920s and 1930s, especially those who were not merely black but whose sexuality made life back home or elsewhere— difficult. It is also about how jazz music became written about by Europeans, beginning as early as 1919 with Ernst-Alexandre Ansermet, conductor to the Ballet Russe, for whom Sidney Bechet's clarinet-playing has the "primitive" force analogous to the authentic or even autochthonous, primal energy sought for and found, to their own satisfaction, by early modernists in Africa and the Pacific Islands, and including Constant Lambert, who in his Music Ho! (1934) makes much of the music of Duke Ellington. Lambert regards Ellington's compositions as reaching the same level of achievement as, among others, Ravel, Hindemith and Stravinsky. Jazz thus becomes available and assimilated to modernist enterprises —in the fine arts, in literature, and, of course, in music. But jazz musicians were unlike any other creators within the modernist movement in that they never made theoretical statements about their music. Nor did they issue manifestoes. They made the music, others explained it.
Is There a Swan in this Poem? Yeats and Symbolist Poetics
Authors: Potolsky Matthew
Published: December 2024

Although the poetry of W. B. Yeats has long been associated with the imagery and ideals of French symbolism, it is assumed that Yeats turns away from symbolism in the twentieth century and endorses a more public, if still hermetic, model of poetry. While this story may be true for Yeats's poetic imagery, Yeats continues to draw upon symbolist techniques of poetic "decomposition", even where such techniques seem not to be in evidence. Comparing two famous swan poems -Mallarme's "Le vierge, le vivace, et le bel aujourd'hui" and Yeats's "The Wild Swans at Coole"- this paper argues that Yeats continues to draw upon symbolist methods even after he claims to have rejected them. Both poems generate a' tension between the represented scene described by the lyric voice and the linguistic or allegorical resonances of the poem's language. And in both poems this tension works to "decompose" the scene. Where Mallarme effects this decomposition through the material qualities of his language, Yeats presents a landscape that can be read both mimetically (as a place the poet sees) and allegorically (as an embodiment of a system of symbolic correspondences).
Flaubert, Schlegel, Nietzsche: Joyce and some European Precursons
Authors: Cosgrove Brian
Published: December 2024

The influence of Gustave Flaubert on James Joyce is well-established, but might it not be more appropriate to look to Friedrich Schlegel for a version of irony that is closer to Joyce's artistic practice? Faced with a world of bewildering plenitude and the recurrent paradoxes in our experience, the literary artist requires, in Schlegel's view, a flexibility of response which will do justice to such multiplicity. Schlegel thus advocates an aesthetic which responds directly to contingency, one that arguably corresponds to Joyce's procedures in the "allincluding I...] chronicle" of Ulysses, where the constant narratorial shifts, for example, seem to indicate an aspiration to come to terms with the contradictory totality of experience. Moreover, the relativism implicit in Schlegel's insistence on authorial flexibility and "caprice" —as the artist seeks to devise strategies which will respond to the complexity of our world— becomes fully explicit in Nietzsche's later and more cogent advocacy of a "diversity of perspectives" in the interests of perceptual completeness. Such diversity is intrinsic to Joyce's non-absolutist aesthetic. The essay concludes with an indication of some further possible affinities between Joyce and Nietzsche.
Familiar Materials: Joyce among the Europeans
Authors: Kolocotroni Vassiliki
Published: December 2024

In his life and work, James Joyce is often regarded as the paradigmatic exile. His legendary obsession with accurate detail in the account of a day in the life of an imaginary Dubliner in Ulysses, and the importance he always accorded to the minutiae of memory, tend to be seen as evidence of the nostalgic thrust of his writing. Yet, as this essay suggests, the cities in which nearly four decades of self-imposed dislocation were spent (Pola, Trieste, Rome, Zurich, Paris) provided more than a conveniently alien backdrop for Joyce's transposition of remembered Irish material. In those cities, Joyce practised the cosmopolitanism (linguistic and other) that he preached, and surrounded himself with fellow cross-nationals. Usually featuring only in anecdotal asides, or brief editorial footnotes, many of these figures can claim a significant influence on Joyce's work. This essay records the circumstances of some of these friendships, and discusses their emergence within Joyce's "familiar material".
Crying Fire in a Theatre: Auden's Harlequinades
Authors: Murphy Michael
Published: December 2024

This essay examines Auden's growing disillusionment with England during the 1930s, culminating in his leaving for New York in early 1939. Focussing on those poems which were to be published in Another Time (1941), Auden's first collection as an "American" poet, the essay charts Auden's analysis of the poet's responsibility for the creation of a "Just City" through such exemplary figures as Rimbaud, Edward Lear, Matthew Arnold and, most importantly, W. B. Yeats. If sailing for' America saw Auden attempting to escape a certain kind of limiting and parochial Englishness, then it also, this essay proposes, saw him attempting to jettison Yeats's influence, one which Auden came to recognise as providing a negative role model for the complex relationship between public and private selves. These themes, the essay concludes, are most fully worked out in the series of great elegies contained in the third section of Another Time, in which Auden looks at the Just City from the perspective of the exile.
Nineteen Eighty-Four: Una interpretación sociolingüística
Authors: Paula López Rúa
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo analiza la utopía lingüística propuesta por Orwell en la obra Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), así como las conexiones que se establecen entre las condiciones lingüísticas y las circunstancias políticas, sociales y psicológicas descritas en la novela. Tras una introducción en la que se expone el marco sociopolítico en donde se encuadra la situación lingüística que se vive en la obra, el estudio se centra en el análisis comparativo de las dos lenguas utilizadas, el Oldspeak y el Newspeak, teniendo en cuenta sus características más relevantes, su estatus, el tipo de hablantes que las utilizan, sus variedades y sus funciones respectivas. El resultado de dicho análisis pone en evidencia que ambas lenguas (Oldspeak y Newspeak) son instrumentos de incalculable valor para manipular y esclavizar social, política y psicológicamente a sus hablantes; en otras palabras, el Newspeak representa simplemente un calculado paso adelante en el proceso iniciado y aún continuado por el Oldspeak. De este modo, el auténtico mérito del Oldspeak no es otro que el de realizar la misma función de manera tan sutil que, en un primer momento, el lector sólo es consciente de la evidente manipulación ejercida a través del Newspeak. A la luz del análisis efectuado, el artículo concluye con una reflexión sobre hasta qué punto sería factible la transferencia al mundo real de la ficción lingüística recreada por el autor.
May Sinclair's The Three Sisters as an Early Example of Modernist Fiction
Authors: Llantada Díaz María Francisca
Published: December 2024

This paper analyses May Sinclair's novel The Three Sisters as an early example of the transition from the classic realist text to modernist fiction in English literature. The Three Sisters is here characterized as a lyrical and psychological novel, influenced by Imagism and structured around epiphanical moments, images and symbols. In addition, Sinclair's first psychological novel is considered here in the light of some of the formal and thematic principles and of the prototypes of female heroine that she was to use in her later more fully modernist novels. Thus, her later novels Mary Olivier and Harriett Frean can be understood as variations of The Three Sisters, where the representation of the unconscious feelings of the characters points to Sinclair's deep knowledge of psychoanalysis and the relevance of internal reality, a typical modernist trait.
Meeting the Civilised Barbarian: Bram Stocker's Dracula and Joseph Conrad's Hear of Darkness
Authors: Martín Sara
Published: December 2024

Even though there was no direct relationship between Bram Stoker and Joseph Conrad, there are sufficient grounds for a comparison between their two masterpieces, Dracula and Heart of Darkness, respectively. Both texts were first published in the same year, 1898, and"both voice similar concerns regarding the onset of the crisis of masculinity still making itself felt today and the position of Europe regarding the margins of the colonial world. Both Conrad and Stoker were aliens living in England, which lent an intriguing dimension to their views of the colonial and imperial question. These links have been recently stressed by the filming of Apocalypse Now (an adaptation of Heart of Darkness) and Bram Stoker's Dracula by the American director Francis Ford Coppola. Coppola has re-read the crisis of masculinity and the imperial question, transforming them into a valediction to the death of a form of patriarchal masculinity that he romanticises.

Reading Martin Amis’s Recreation of the Perpetrator’s Gaze in The Zone of Interest
Authors: Díaz Bild Aída
Published: December 2024

The Zone of Interest is a historical novel set in Auschwitz in the months from August 1942 to April 1943, and which belongs to the category of perpetrator fiction. Thisarticle centres on the character of Paul Doll, the camp commandant, who represents the banality of evil and, through whose voice Amis gives the readers a sharp pictureof the abominations committed by the Nazis, while he recounts the causes and devastating consequences of the perpetrators’ actions. By transforming Doll into a buffoon, Amis offers a different perspective on the Holocaust and makes the reader realise that those responsible for the worst crimes were neither monsters nor exceptional human beings, but normal, vulnerable people who had the fate of millions of Jews in their hands.
A Retrospective Analysis of Interactive Videos and Skill Development in First-Year Seminars at a Higher Education Institution
Authors: Yehya Arij , Rajoh Ola Abu , Qadhi Saba Mansoor
Published: December 2024

Interactive videos can be a powerful tool in higher education. Soft skills are crucial indicators of success during the first year of university. Consequently, many universities have integrated first-year seminar courses into their programs to equip students with essential skills for academic success. This retrospective quantitative study investigates the impact of using interactive videos to enhance skills in first-year seminars. It analyses a sample of 538 female students from various colleges in Qatar University who took a first-year seminar course in the Fall 2022, Spring 2022, or Spring 2023 semesters. Across 19 classes, these students were provided with six interactive videos covering the following skills: transferable skills, time management, critical thinking, problem-solving, growth mindset, learned optimism, and academic integrity. Students were retrospectively divided into three groups based on how many interactive videos they watched: 0, 1–5, or 6. Controlling for students’ high school grade-point averages, we compared scores on the final exam between groups using ANCOVA. Scores differed significantly among the three groups (p < 0.05). Specifically, those who viewed all interactive videos had the highest scores in the skill application scenarios in the final exam. In conclusion, this study is the first to report that interactive videos might benefit specific higher education students who need to further develop their skills but are unmotivated to do the extra work and learn from the additional resources provided interactively.
Optimising Culturally Responsive Pedagogies in Multicultural English Second Language Classrooms
Authors: Matiso Nomasomi Hilda
Published: December 2024

In the era of globalisation, multilingual and multicultural classrooms are a common phenomenon, in which learners from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds interact in various social and academic settings. The objective of this paper was to explore ways by which culturally responsive pedagogies (CRPs), which acknowledge the linguistic diversity of English second language (ESL) learners and embrace their native languages by fostering a more inclusive, effective and culturally sensitive ESL classroom, can be strengthened. This inquiry was grounded on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, and the multiliteracies framework, which emphasise the importance of exposing students to culturally rich contextually relevant materials and interactions. Thus, applying them to the classroom context will help understand how cultural and linguistic factors impact learning. An interpretive paradigm was used as the basis of this inquiry. A qualitative approach and a case study design were used to gather information from 16 conveniently chosen lecturers through semi-structured interviews. Through the adoption of a thematic analysis method, it was specified that that the adoption of a variety of instructional strategies, such as peer collaboration, technology-assisted learning (TAL), differentiated instruction, and interactive approaches, could strengthen culturally responsive pedagogies. It was also found that the creation of inclusive and conducive learning environments results in students’ increased motivation and engagement when they perceive that their native languages are used in the educational process. The author suggests that, to prepare students for a globalised environment in which English is the universal language, language education policies that respect the heritage of native language speakers are necessary.

Use of Image Free Robotic-Assisted System for Total Knee Arthroplasty Associated with Improved Knee Society Function Score Compared to Manual Instrumentation, A Retrospective Multi-center Study
Authors: Spitzer Andrew , Barrett William , Nassif Nader , Alton Timothy , Leslie Ian , Lesko James , Dalury David
Published: December 2024

Robotic-Assistance (RA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has gained popularity due to its ability to improve accuracy and facilitate patient specific techniques. However, the reported influence on clinical outcomes is inconsistent. This study assessed the influence of the recently introduced VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution on the Knee Society Function Score (KSFS) at early follow up. A retrospective review of a prospective company sponsored registry was conducted to assess KSFS at first post-operative follow up for all ATTUNE primary TKAs. RA-TKAs were differentiated from MI-TKA. The mean KSFS was compared between groups. Pre-operative demographic information including sex, age, BMI and pre-operative KSFS scores were compared and an ANCOVA was used on post-operative KSFS scores to account for any differences. There were 553 RA-TKAs and 6,710 MI-TKAs with KSFS reported at first post-operative follow-up. The proportion of females was similar between the groups but the RA-TKA group was older (69.37 Vs. 66.37, p<0.0001), had slightly lower BMI (29.90 Vs. 30.79, p<0.0001) and had post-operative follow up at an earlier time point (87.43 Vs. 116 days, p<0.0001). The mean post-operative KSFS was significantly higher for the RA-TKA group than the MI-TKA group (79.59 Vs. 76.44, p=0.0001 and 78.15 Vs. 74.05 following ANCOVA adjustment). In this study, KSFS was improved for RA compared to MI at first follow-up. These findings suggest that RA combined with patient specific techniques can improve patient outcomes. Further investigation with longer-term follow-up is required.

Abstract
This document describes the steps that required for creating and maintaining an ontology; for exploiting an ontology in order to describe data from one or more data sources; and for developing services and applications that provide unified access and insightful analysis on the data. The document provides the state of the art of the various tools and software components that exist and can be used for carrying out various tasks of the overall process. The components are grouped based on their intended use and for each one of them a concise description, as well as other useful details (i.e. if they are open‐source, their license, etc.), are provided. For each step or task, the involved software components are also described in a table presenting their details with respect to various dimensions (e.g. open‐source, license, available online, key advantages, etc.), in order to enable their quick comparison. Moreover, successful examples of semantic data integration are presented, i.e., for cases where a top‐level ontology is used for integrating data for the cultural and biodiversity domain, and services for large‐scale semantic data integration (including hundreds of datasets from several domains). Furthermore, it provides the high‐level architectural suggestions that can be used as a basis for the actual implementation of any ontology‐based system; the described processes and tools can be exploited for the development of the ontology‐based functionality. Finally, it offers the adaptations of the proposed architecture for the EFSA case studies, by providing details about their components and indicative pipelines and tools.

Published: December 2024

The Bone River faces potential pollution due to human activities in the surrounding area. To ensure this, macrozoobenthic is used as a bioindicator, utilizing the characteristics of its constituent communities, which show sedentary behaviour, limited mobility, and sensitivity to water conditions. This research aims to examine the composition of the macrozoobenthic community which reflects the water quality of the Bone River. The research was conducted from May to August 2023 at three observation stations. Water quality evaluation used the Hilsenhoff Family Biotic Index (FBI) methodology. The findings revealed a collection of 1,040 individuals representing 43 macrozoobenthic genera, with Trichoptera, Ephemeroptera, and Diptera widely distributed along the river. A dominance index of 0.2 indicates that there is not a single macrozoobenthic species that dominates, while an FBI value ranging from 3.71 to 5.47 indicates that there is pollution in the Bone River.Keywords: Bioindicator; Family Biotic Index; Macrozoobenthic; River; Water quality

Marriage registration is important for the validity of a marriage because it will provide legal protection and guarantee the rights arising from marriage. Marriages with falsified registration as in this study are sirri marriages where the husband and wife consciously take legal action in the form of forging marriage books. This paper describes the problems, firstly marital status with its falsified recording from the perspective of positive law and Islamic law. Second, the judge's legal considerations. Third, legal protection of rights arising from marriages without registration. The research method used is analytical descriptive. The results of the study show that: First, marital status with falsified records from the perspective of positive law and Islamic law (in this case the Compilation of Islamic Law) is valid and has legal force. However, there are negative implications for the non-fulfillment of the wife's rights as a result of divorce, if the excerpt of a marriage certificate that has been decided by the District Court has no legal force/fake is used as evidence in a divorce case at the Religious Court. Second, the Judge at the Religious Court in his legal considerations stated that even though the marriage certificate was fake, this certificate was made consciously and is known together. The Mataram District Court Judge in his legal considerations was a decision regarding an alleged unlawful act in the form of a fake marriage certificate, not a decision that annulled the marriage. As for marriages carried out without registration, the state cannot provide legal protection unless there is material truth that can be proven in court.

Sempre quis ser escritor. Escrever é o que me motiva e me encanta, desde garoto. Escrevo porque sou encantado pelas palavras que leio e finjo sempre acreditar que só sou capaz de corresponder ao encanto na escrita, seja em um texto acadêmico, seja em uma demonstração pública de afeto, como essa que faço aqui, seja em uma letra de música, o que hoje em dia Luiz Antonio Simas me fez acreditar que sou capaz[1]. E talvez este texto quisesse ser isso tudo: artigo, carta de amor, música... Enfim, um sonho.
