The social issues of cultural components that may appear at language of tales is examined in a case of using storytelling as a methodological tool in teaching language at school. Storytelling and proverbs can adjust on different subjects of teaching at school such as History, Physics, Religion, Philosophy for Children. Values and attitudes are in school language textbooks involved through folk tales and other folk traditional stories. Our study presents some of these language examples of fairy tales and folktales to search the architecture of works that may be important to compare to other Countries and Language examples of tales.","PeriodicalId":245453,"journal":{"name":"Open Journal for Studies in Linguistics","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129160639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Mexico, “el mirreynato” is a trendy phenomenon that has increased its status through social media. The popularity is such that a Latin-American network broadcasted a report on this matter. The report’s transparent intention was to present “mirreyes de outlet” and describe their activities. This critical discourse analysis aimed at uncovering the opaque intention, behind this report. Through the use of systemic functional linguistics, it was found that the discourse used in this report had a different intention than the transparent purpose mentioned by the network. The central element to the social phenomenon of “El mirreynato” is the notion of power.

Oddly, bilingual writers engaged in professional academic writing rarely verbalize the processes they apply when writing. In this article, we make use of multiple academic conversations and written interview data to propose an important adaptation to a conceptual model that reflects the complexities experienced by professional bilingual academic writers when involved in the act of writing. Furthermore, the data sheds light on the difficulties of geographical transition in writing, as well as the mobility of literacy.","PeriodicalId":245453,"journal":{"name":"Open Journal for Studies in Linguistics","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126845826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

French and Englishspeaking learners of Spanish participated in the study. Subjects were divided into four different groups considering their L1 (French and English) and their proficiency level (intermediate and advanced). Subjects completed three different tasks: an untimed grammaticality judgment task (UGJT), an elicited oral imitation test (EOI), and an eye-tracking experiment. As for linear distance, each experimental item was distributed across three distance conditions: distance number 1 corresponds to an adjacent adjective pattern, distance number 2 separates the adjective using a copula, and distance number 3 included between three and four words interceding before the copula. Our results show no linear distance effect for either the explicit task or the implicit task.","PeriodicalId":245453,"journal":{"name":"Open Journal for Studies in Linguistics","volume":"53 5-6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129155595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
