Magnetism and Gravity: Mental representations of students 15-17 years old from a historical and teaching perspective
Authors: Ravanis Konstantinos , Voutsina Lambrini
Published: February 2019

In the present paper we will study the mental representations of students aged 15-17 concerning action at a distance based on the manner of transfer of the magnetic force as well as the relation between magnetism and gravity. The research was carried out using structured interviews with a total of 40 students from the 10th and 11th grades. We will also attempt to study whether the students representations show an analogical reasoning with typical historical models of the Sciences and whether there exist differences related to conventional school teaching. The results indicated points where students representations appear to approach basic elements of historical models of the Sciences.
Identifying Motivators for the Employees in Companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Rahimic Zijada , Kozo Amra /
Published: February 2019

Competence ability, and even company survival in today's dynamic and relatively unpredictable global business environment, are both becoming increasingly dependent on knowledge, skills and employee competence, as well as their work motivation. Thus, in these times of harsh competition, companies seek ways through which to increase employee readiness to fulfill company goals. Individuals are pushed for action by different motivators, awards and stimulations, all of which mirror their wishes. The task of every manager is to use motivators in order to stimulate employee performance, or drive them to complete their duties. The aim of this paper is to identify those factors that have a motivating effect on the employees working in companies across Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research included workers from different organizations in order to establish a relationship between organizational characteristics and the motivating effects of various factors. The methodological framework of this work has its basis in Herzberg's Two Factor Theory of Motivation. A special challenge for the empirical research, conducted through surveys distributed across companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina, was the identification of motivators which stimulate employee action. The results of this research could help managers in finding answers to different strategies of employee motivation, as well as in increasing their own capability in motivating workers and employing inventive motivators.

Authors: Durmaz Yakup , Durmaz Busra Nur
Published: February 2019

Nowadays, consumer behaviouris influenced not only by consumer personalities and motivations, but also by the relationships within families. Family is a social group and it can be considered the cornerstone of consumers so it has a crucial place in the perception of marketing. Marketeers closely interested in this issue to know the family which changed and renewed in course of time. It provides a tremendous advantage for a marketeer to know the family structure and its consumption characteristics ( Durmaz and Zengin, 2011: 53). In this study, the affect of cultural factors on consumer buying behaviour is investigated. A survey was conducted on 1400 people from the different parts of Turkey. The information acquired from the results are analyzed and interpreted by the computer packet programs. Turkey has seven regions. From each region two provinces are selected by random sampling method. A face to face survey was conducted on 100 people from each province and in total 1400 people participated in the survey. The information obtained from the results are analyzed and interpreted by the computer packet programs.
Positioning gamers within identities
Authors: Silva Daniel De Augustinis
Published: February 2019

In this paper, we describe the language used in a particular educational video game, Quest Atlantis (QA). We begin by reviewing a number of works which deal with video games and come to the conclusion that, although many speak of aligning the player with a particular identity (cf. footing, Goffman, 1981) which is necessary to achieve particular tasks, none of these works deal specifically with the role language plays in the construction of these personae. Therefore, we describe the language used in a single task in QA, revealing the generic structure (Hasan, 1985) of these prompts. After that, we observe how language is used at the level of the sentence with the analysis of deictics (Ochs, 1992; Hanks, 1992). We conclude that more interactions within QA need to analyzed before we reach a more definite answer to our questions, but the language resources revealed here will certainly provide educators and game with a more tangible framework with which to position learners and players.
Modern landscaping and medicinal plant loss as a legacy of colonialism in Nigeria (Lokoja as case study).
Authors: Oloyede Alabi Michael
Published: February 2019

This paper aims to trace the history of colonial urban planning in Nigerian cities, its legacies of urban design and beautification of the environment. In Nigeria the town planning institutional frame works was established under the colonial rule which persisted to the post colonial period. In this sense the colonial era was a phase in which European institutions and values systems were transferred to Nigeria, one of which is the concept of environmental beautification with the use of plants. An investigation is carried out on the influence of colonial rule on landscaping and urban design. Findings show that the introduction of deliberate landscaping to city planning have over the years systematically led to loss of valuable indigenous plants partly due to the introduction of exotic plants. These are plants that initially were seen as sources of cure for several ailments. There is therefore the need for a rethink as to the type of plants to be used for landscaping.

Production and marketing of coffee use to be the major source of income to majority of households in Kogi State, Nigeria. Recently, it was discovered that coffee farmers are abandoning their coffee plots for other agricultural crops. The study therefore investigated the major factors affecting coffee production in Kabba, Kogi State, Nigeria to make appropriate recommendations. Purposive sampling method was used to sample major coffee producers in the State. Data was collected through the use of structured questionnaire, interviews and focus group discussion. About 70% of the coffe producers are smallholders with farm sizes ranging between 1 and 5 hectares. Forty percent of the coffee farmers informed that they have completely abandoned their coffee farms, while 60% have partially abandoned theirs. Most of the coffee plots are also old and farmers have suspended major cultural practices on their plots. The main factor contributing to abandonment of coffee farms includes poor pricing and marketing channel, especially at the international market. There is still high potential for robust production and marketing of coffee in Kogi State. This could be observed from the perception of the producers as well as well as favourable climatic conditions of the area. Regular training should be organized for the coffee producers on value addition to enhance marketing and facilitate good bargaining power.
Herd behaviour in stock markets: an international perspective
Authors: Boutabba Islem Ahmed
Published: February 2019

In this paper, we study the behavioral finance as a theory that seeks to combine cognitive and psychological components with economic and financial aspects to explain irrationality of financial decisions. It is a paradigm where financial markets are studied using models that are less tight than those based on expected utility theory of Neumann Morgenstern and on arbitrage assumptions. Behavioral finance has two main parts: cognitive psychology and the limits to arbitrage.Cognitive refers to how people think. There is a large literature in psychology that claims people make asymmetric errors in thinking. Limits to arbitration refer to prediction data where forces of arbitrage circumstances will be effective or not. Our empirical validation focused on one of the cognitive components: herding. Indeed, we examined herd behaviour in an international context (the United States (DJU), Argentina (MERV), and France (CAC20)) using the model of Chang et al (2000). Our results led us to conclude that there is no herd behaviour.

FROM EXPERT TO EPISTEMIC COMMUNITIES: ON THE TRANSFORMATION OF INSTITUTIONAL FRAMES OF POWER IN THE MODERN WORLD
Authors: Smirnova Marianna Y , Yachin Evgeniy Y
Published: February 2019

The article deals with the phenomenon of epistemic communities. The concept was coined by P. Haas in the late XX century in an attempt to analyze functions and political prospects of expert and professional knowledge in the modern knowledge-based society. The concept has been widely used during the recent decades in sociology of knowledge, policy studies and social philosophy. Despite the fact that some scholars voiced a number of critical remarks, no (or very few) attempts to rethink the concept of epistemic communities have been made. The article gives a review of research into epistemic communities and introduces the concept of epistemic operating mode in order to rethink the concept and clear up operational mechanisms of epistemic communities as a specific form of knowledge (expert) communities.

Authors: Serrano María José Pérez , Lazo Carmen Marta , MuÃ±oz Juan Pablo Artero
Published: February 2019

Television industrial organization is probably more complex than in other media industries. Reasons behind include that it is newer than others, it is highly regulated and because many changes have taken place in a short time period. In particular, public service television deserves an in-depth study. This is the starting point of this piece of research, which is applied to children as an audience of a growing complex and competitive market. In doing so, this study focuses on public service broadcasters of three European countries: the United Kingdom, Italy and Spain. A correlation analysis of these three cases will be made and the main hypothesis is that the content of all three channels and their audience profiles is quite similar. It will be implemented by Research Group on Digital Information and Communication (GICID, University of Zaragoza) and Research and Learning of Media and Communications Management (MediaCom, Complutense University of Madrid).

The bioassay activitiesofTithonia diversifolia leave extract was conducted on the larvae of Anopheles mosquito collected at peri-urban areas of Abakaliki Ebonyi State, using the concentrations of the extract in dilutions at 50/100ml, 40/100ml, 30/100ml and 20/100ml introduced with 10 Anopheles mosquito larvae each in four replicates and allowed for 3hrs. Mean mortality rate of the larvae were observed after the first hour, thus 30%, 10%, 05% and 0% respectively while in the 2nd hour were 60%, 40%, 20% and 10% and in the 3rd hour were 80%, 60%, 50% & 30% respectively. The result thus revealed that the treatment is dose dependent and that the studied specie has some bioactive compounds that can be exploited for insect pests control hence observed to be sensitive in anopheles mosquito larvae. Therefore Tithonia diversifolialeaf extract could be used as a bioassay for the control of mosquito due to its active properties as this has exhibited adverse effects on the larvae thereby reducing the mosquito population and thus reducing the malarious infection associated with the bite of mosquito.

Authors: Dias Olen , Vaninsky Alexander
Published: February 2019

This paper applies the Generalized Divisia Index to decompose the CO2 emissions into eight components and uses the Factor Analysis to determine their clusters - the combinations of related components that play the leading role. Economic analysis of these clusters allows for the determination of the main  drivers of the CO2 emissions. As a case study, we used the data of the United States from 1950 through 2040 separated into three periods: 1950 - 1980; 1981 -  2012, and 2013 - 2040, each characterized by a specific type of socioeconomic development: industrial, post-industrial, and information, respectively. Data for the last period are projections. As a result, we got an insight into the typology of the CO2 emissions and obtained recommendations on environmental policy aimed at their mitigation.

The aim of the study is to construe the discursive strategies and to probe for ideological goals behind the two national newspapers text constructions about the former ruling Democrat Party leader, Anas Urbaningrum, corruption case before the 2014 general election The analysis of this study adopts a critical perspective on discourse analysis (CDA) specifically the Teun Van Dijks socio-cognitive approach. The texts are divided and analyzed into three levels, namely: text, socio-cognitive of the text producers and social context surround the discourse production.  The study concludes three important points. First, both newspapers were intensively presented news about corrupt politicians before the 2014 general elections. One of which was the ruling Democrat party leader, Anas Urbaningrum (AU) corruption case. Second, Seputar Indonesia daily (hereafter SINDO) texts are defending AU by presenting very systematic and consistent discourse patterns even after the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) named AU a suspect in corruption and money laundering cases. The patterns are disagreements of the Anas political rivals accusation, exaggerating internal conflict between Anas and his political rivals, attacking others contra opinion and defending AU position through its news texts; while, on the contrary, Jawa Pos daily (JP) emphasizing law enforcement for AU corruption case. It presents accusation and attacking comments from some party senior cadres to AU, pools results about the Democrat Party popularity and electability that dropped significantly because of corruption issue, and it also provides statements mostly from the graft commission about AU case law enforcement.

Authors: Reynon Glenn Irwin Cruz
Published: February 2019

Sunday TV Mass (STVM) is one of the Catholic Churchs initiatives for evangelization via media. Primarily produced to spread the Good News, it is specifically for the sick and physically incapable since they cannot go to churches to attend Mass and fulfill their Sunday obligation. However, since the broadcast Mass is communicated through a mass medium and is exposed to a wider audience than necessarily targeted, some people, the adolescents (youth) in particular, make STVM an excuse to forego Mass attendance in their respective churches. This experimental study will focus on STVM on its role as evangelizer and catalyst to ritual formation. James Careys theory of Ritual Communication describes this practice as an enabler to the creation of a community of believers among the youth and George Gerbners Cultivation Theory on how television creates a worldview that unravels ritualistic experience by watching STVM. The respondents of the study are 40 high school students of Angelicum College.  Selected purposively, the students were instructed and monitored to watch STVM for four Sundays. These students are top achievers in their Religion subjects and are exposed to different religious activities in their school.

What Future We Do Want: Some Considerations Related to the Emergence of Global Sociology
Authors: Yanitsky Oleg N.
Published: February 2019

The emergence and development of global sociology advances to the forefront a set of uneasy questions. This article outlines the scope of some questions which, in the authors opinion, should be discussed before and during the coming ISA forum The Future We Want: Global Sociology and the Struggle for Better World which is to be held in Vienna next year. Each notion of this heading as well as the state-of-art in this relatively new and rapidly developing sociological field should be exposed to analysis and critical reflection in order to foster for the production of sociologically relevant knowledge. Some starting points and key questions related to the methodology and theory of the global sociology field are named and discussed. Such basic concepts as future, better world, who are We? as well as the possible types of future social order and how to define a social capital of the desired global world and its environmental dimensions are discussed. In conclusion the author put forward twelve theses which are the necessary requirements which the global sociology should to address and carefully analyze. In the authors view, problem-oriented and activist-oriented comparative researches, interdisciplinary stance and the processes of the emergence of new global actors should be at the top of the research agenda in this field.
Inexplicable Sex Differences in Homonegativity: A Proposed New Paradigm of Implicit Cognitive Systems
Authors: Stanfield Candice T. , J Harvey
Published: February 2019

Sex differences in self-reported homonegativity is prevalent in past research, yet unexplained. We examined possible factors associated with sex differences in overall homonegativity. Heterosexuals self-reported on scales including variables of differential exposure to homosexuals, disgust sensitivity, and reporting biases. Males consistently expressed more negative attitudes toward homosexuals, especially gay men. Many variables were significantly correlated with overall homonegativity and revealed significant sex differences, however, unconvincingly. Self-report measures may lack validity, not always capturing peoples true attitudes. Utilizing a new paradigm of implicit cognitive systems may be more worthwhile in explaining social psychological representations of the abstract cognitive construct of prejudice/stereotyping.
NURSING APPROACHES OF SOCIAL TYPE HAVE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON THE TREATMENT OF POSTOPERATIVE DELIRIUM
Authors: Tsagalas Ilias , Tagarakis Georgios , Tsilimingas Nikolaos , Tsolaki Magdalini
Published: February 2019

Acute postoperative organic psychosyndrome (delirium) is a common complication after cardiac surgery. It is characterized by disorientation of the patient in terms of space and time, most often in the Intensive Care Unit, often accompanied by aggressive or self-destructive behaviour.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of specific nursing interventions in the treatment of delirium.

Materials and methods: We included in the study 47 patients who developed delirium out of a total 184 patients undergoing major cardiac surgery (CABG, AVR, MVR, combined interventions, aneurysm and dissection thoracic aorta ) in the same period, lasting 18 months. Patients were tested for the syndrome with valid instrument scales, more specifically CAM -ICU (Confusement Assessment Method for Intensive Care Unit) and Nu DeSc (Nursing Delirium Screening Scale). They were then divided into four groups, a control group without any additional intervention, a group in which patients were given option for listening to music for 20 minutes twice a day, one group that followed an additional physiotherapy program and, finally, a group with two extra visits by friends or relatives, lasting twenty minutes daily.

Results: The study included 152 (83%) men and 32 (17%) women. The average age of both sexes without delirium was 61.55± 7.9 years and with delirium 68.97±8.1. Patients supportive interventions implemented have improved behavior in delirium, based on the results of measurement scales. More specifically, patients within the music group had an average score of 4.8±0.7 prior to the intervention and an average score of 3.2±0.4 (p<0.01) after the intervention. The physical therapy group had an average pre-intervention score of 4.7±0.6 and a score of 3.6±0.4 after the intervention (p<0.05). Finally, the group with the additional visits had a pre-score of 5.0±0.7 and a score after the intervention of 4.0±0.5 (p<0.05). Duration of delirium has been much shorter in the intervention groups compared to the control group not receiving intervention (32±3, 36±4 and 38±4 vs 48±9 hours respectively).

Conclusion: The supportive, non-pharmaceutical interventions can improve the image of patients with delirium after cardiac surgery.

Ricardo Verdugo Landi (1871-1930) y Francisco Verdugo Landi (1874-1954) nacieron en Málaga en una familia de periodistas, y una de sus ocupaciones artísticas fue la de ilustradores y caricaturistas en esa misma prensa, logrando el éxito a finales del siglo XIX, labor oculta tras sus conquistas en la pintura de género y en la fundación y dirección de las cabeceras más sobresalientes de la prensa gráfica e ilustrada en la España de comienzos del siglo XX. Este es un breve recorrido por la biografía de sus primeros años utilizando fuentes documentales primarias (las propias revistas de época), donde se puede constatar la importancia de su labor y su relevancia a nivel nacional.
Scrivere la storia dell’arte: metodologia e ricerca negli ultimi decenni
Authors: Subrizi Carla
Published: February 2019

All’inizio del nuovo secolo la questione della storia del’arte e dei metodi da utilizzare per la ricerca riapre molti interrogativi e determina la necessità di una revisione critica della storiografia del passato XX secolo. Molte iniziative dimostrano la necessità che molti storici dell’arte, nelle Università italiane ma anche internazionali avvertono in questi anni: i dipartimenti di storia dell’arte, nelle differenti denominazioni che hanno in Europa e in altri paesi del mondo, concentrano ricerche e iniziative sullo stato della storia dell’arte, su quanto sia necessario rivedere e interrogare le strategie della sua costruzione, nonché l’identificazione dei documenti e materiali d’archivio considerati le sue «fonti». Tali problemi coinvolgono gruppi di lavoro e ricerche differentemente orientati, all’interno dei quali è tuttavia possibile individuare premesse simili che da una parte affrontano la questione su un piano teorico e metodologico, dall’altro si concentrano su casi di studio, su particolari aspetti storici e filologici, per mettere in pratica, nuove ipotesi di studio e ricerca. Il saggio si sofferma su tali questioni e analizza alcuni passaggi fondamentali della bibliografia più recente.

Audacia, delicadeza y retórica. Giacomo Serpotta y el ciclo de las Virtudes Seráficas para la Basílica de San Francesco en Palermo
Authors: Sánchez López Juan Antonio
Published: February 2019

Giacomo Serpotta (1656-1732) es, quizás, uno de los más grandes escultores del Barroco. Pese a gozar de un palpable y creciente reconocimiento historiográfico, todavía es un perfecto desconocido en términos universales. Su actividad en un contexto italiano relativamente periférico (Sicilia) y la especialización en la técnica del estuco podrían explicar que todavía persista su consideración más como decorador que escultor. Sin embargo, sus celebradas intervenciones en los espacios sacros provocaron que la presencia del elemento escultórico jugase un papel decisivo y clave en términos de función, ornamentación, discurso y mensaje, en aras a la apetecida conversión del conjunto en un auténtico artefacto retórico, de incalculable eficacia comunicativa y persuasiva. En este artículo se analizan y reivindican críticamente tales aspectos, a la par que se estudia, desde la doble perspectiva histórico-artística y estético-iconográfica, la antológica serie de las Virtudes Seráficas acometida, hacia 1723, para la Basílica de San Francesco en Palermo.

CONOCIMIENTO PEDAGÓGICO DEL CONTENIDO: UN ESTUDIO CUALITATIVO EN EL PROFESORADO DE EDUCACIÓN FÍSICA
Authors: Almonacid-Fierro Alejandro , Merellano-Navarro Eugenio , Feu Molina Sebastian , Vizuete Carrizosa Manuel
Published: February 2019

La presente investigación tiene como propósito describir y categorizar el discurso del profesorado de Educación Física con respecto al Conocimiento Pedagógico del Contenido (CPC) en el aula de Educación Física y, por otro lado, develar las comprensiones subjetivas con que los profesores estructuran y organizan sus estrategias didácticas para favorecer el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. En términos metodológicos el estudio es de carácter cualitativo, toda vez que se interpreta el discurso del profesorado en base a la teoría fundamentada, vale decir el procesamiento se sustenta en la deconstrucción de los datos, la comparación constante y la reconstrucción de datos. A partir del proceso de codificación y categorización emergen las principales categorías primarias: conocimiento y aprendizaje, conocimiento del currículo en Educación Física y conocimiento de estrategias didácticas, cuestión que nos permite comprender como los profesores comprenden y despliegan el aprendizaje en el área.
LESIONES EN JÓVENES GIMNASTAS FEMENINAS DE ACROBÁTICA DE LA ÉLITE NACIONAL
Authors: Vernetta Mercedes , Montosa Isabel , López-Bedoya Jesús
Published: February 2019

La gimnasia acrobática está asociada inevitablemente a la aparición de posibles lesiones. El objetivo fue analizar su incidencia a gimnastas de nivel competitivo. Se realizó un estudio prospectivo, transversal y descriptivo a través de un cuestionario donde participaron 40 jóvenes entre 12 y 18 años. Se analizó las lesiones sufridas y las características del entrenamiento. Dichas lesiones se produjeron más en los entrenamientos (95,5%) que en competición. El 57,77% fueron localizadas en la extremidad inferior, 28,88% en el tronco 13,33% en la extremidad superior. Los sitios anatómicos más afectados fueron el tobillo y espalda (33,33% y 28,9%, respectivamente). En cuanto al tipo de lesión destacan los esguinces (40%) y contracturas (26,7%). La mayoría de las lesiones ocurrieron en la parte técnica, durante los movimientos grupales estáticos y dinámicos. El estudio demuestra que existe un predominio de lesiones ligamentosas y musculares, siendo los miembros inferiores la zona más afectada.
Fidelity to the original in literary translation: Micro- and macro-analysis of translational phenomena
Authors: Álvarez Mª  Antonia
Published: February 2019

Traducir implica cambios lingüísticos para resolver las presiones e interferencias que se producen entre la lengua fuente y la lengua término. Para efectuar un análisis a nivel microestructural del corpus —que permita el análisis a nivel macroestructural— hay que establecer unos parámetros cualitativos a fin de evaluar la fidelidad semántica, y si es correcto desde el punto de vista lingüístico y estilístico para que pueda ser aceptado en su sistema literario.
La versión catalana de Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?, de Edward Albee: El caso de un original doblemente traicionado
Authors: Espejo Romero Ramón
Published: February 2019

Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1962) es una de las obras más importantes del teatro norteamericano y, sin duda, la más popular de su autor, Edward Albee. En 1990 se estrenó en Barcelona una versión catalana de la misma, cuyo título era Qui té por de Virginia Woolf?. La traducción era de Jordi Arbonès y la puesta en escena de Hermann Bonnin, con dramaturgia de Joan Casas. Al original americano no se le dispensó un tratamiento ejemplar ni por parte de su traductor ni de su adaptador. La puesta en escena redujo la obra original a la mitad. Por si eso fuera poco, el texto en que se basaba no era una traducción del original inglés, como cabría esperar, sino de una versión argentina realizada en los años 60, y contenía, por ello, importantes desviaciones con respecto a lo escrito por Albee. En algunos casos esto tuvo lugar en pasajes de crucial importancia para el sentido global de la pieza. El presente trabajo trata de demostrar la doble traición sufrida por el texto de Edward Albee, centrándose, lógicamente, en la cometida por su traductor.

Andrea Camilleri en español: consideraciones sobre la (in)visibilidad del traductor
Authors: Caprara Giovanni
Published: February 2019

En el presente artículo realizaremos algunas consideraciones sobre la traducción al español de las obras de Andrea Camilleri. Trataremos tres puntos: la singularidad de la lengua utilizada por Camilleri, la cuestión de la (in)visibilidad del traductor y, finalmente, el análisis de cuál ha sido el papel de la traductora en las versiones al español de Camilleri. Nuestro estudio se centrará en la traducción de Il cane di terracotta, realizada por María Antonia Menini Pagés.
Traducción inversa: una realidad
Authors: De la Cruz Trainor María M.
Published: February 2019

El propósito de este artículo es demostrar que hacen falta traductores competentes, capaces de traducir a una lengua meta que no es la lengua materna. Tales traductores requieren una formación específica en traducción inversa. En el caso del inglés se deberá prestar especial atención a la creciente importancia de la variedad internacional, con todas las posibilidades que ofrece en áreas tales como el uso cada vez más extendido del vocabulario de origen latino-romance.
Análisis externo de las antologías de traducción españolas del romanticismo poético inglés (1915-2002)
Authors: Enríquez Aranda María Mercedes
Published: February 2019

Las antologías de traducción se enmarcan dentro de un campo que presenta múltiples posibilidades de investigación. En este trabajo se aborda el estudio de las antologías de traducción del romanticismo poético inglés publicadas en España desde principios del siglo XX hasta la actualidad. La rama de investigación externa en la historia de la traducción proporciona la metodología necesaria para el análisis. Los aspectos externos definitorios de las antologías se analizan y se valoran tras unas consideraciones teóricas previas acerca del concepto de antología de traducción.
Traducir, introducir, retraducir
Authors: Frei Charlotte
Published: February 2019

En este trabajo se indican algunos factores que conectan la traducción como introducción con las retraducciones de los mismos autores y obras en un sistema literario. Me apoyo en el ejemplo del traductor inglés Paulo Quintela para estudiar, sobre el horizonte diacrónico de la actividad de otros traductores, algunas de sus versiones al alemán realizadas en torno a la segunda mitad del siglo XX.
Estrategias de cambio de código y su traducción en la novela de Sandra Cisneros Caramelo or Puro Cuento
Authors: Jiménez Carra Nieves
Published: February 2019

En este artículo se analiza la variedad de cambio de código inglés-español utilizada por el pueblo chicano. Tras realizar un acercamiento a este concepto, se encuadra como elemento importante dentro de la literatura chicana. A continuación, se estudian las estrategias de cambio de código usadas por la autora Sandra Cisneros en su última novela, Caramelo or Puro Cuento, y se comparan con las utilizadas en la versión española de la obra, realizada por Liliana Valenzuela. En el primer caso, destaca la presencia de términos en español seguidos de su correspondiente traducción al inglés o de expresiones sin traducción, cuyo significado se deduce a través del contexto. El español también se encuentra en interjecciones o vocativos. En la traducción se compensa este rasgo lingüístico adoptando estrategias similares a las del original, y añadiendo términos ingleses a la narración en español.
