Uno de los fenomenos linguisticos mas estudiados en lenguas criollas del Caribe es la variacion en el uso del verbo be (vease Labov 1969; Holm 1976; Rickford 1996; Sharma y Rickford 2009; Michaelis et al. 2013, etc.). El objetivo de este trabajo es arrojar luz sobre los factores que condicionan la variacion del sistema copulativo en criollo sanandresano. Para llevar esto a cabo analizamos los contextos en los que se usa be de forma explicita (por ejemplo, dei waz der an di fishin graun ‘they were there at the fishing ground’) y aquellos en los que se elide (e.g. shi veri hongri ‘she (was) very hungry’), y prestamos atencion a su distribucion teniendo en cuenta variables estructurales tales como el contexto gramatical en el que se usa o elide be, la categoria y persona gramatical del sujeto, y el tiempo verbal. El analisis probabilistico de los resultados muestra que el contexto y la categoria gramatical del sujeto determinan la variacion de este fenomeno linguistico, confirmando asi un patro n de variacion observado en otras lenguas criollas del Atlantico. Los resultados obtenidos en este estudio nos permiten obtener una descripcion mas completa del uso de be en criollo sanandresano al tiempo que nos ofrecen informacion valiosa sobre la vitalidad, unidad y heterogeneidad de esta lengua criolla. EnglishThis paper deals with copula deletion in San Andresan Creole (SAC), an English-lexifier creole spoken in the Caribbean islands of Colombia. One of the most widely studied features of Caribbean creoles is the variable use of the verb be (see Labov 1969; Holm 1976; Rickford 1996; Sharma and Rickford 2009; Michaelis et al. 2013, etc.). We aim to establish the linguistic and social determinants of observable variation in the copula system of SAC. To this end we will look primarily into be presence (e.g. dei waz der an di fishin graun ‘they were there at the fishing ground’) vs be deletion (e.g. shi veri hongri ‘she (was) very hungry’), and its distribution according to structural variables (e.g. grammatical context, grammatical category and grammatical person of the subject, and tense). The probabilistic analysis of the results shows that grammatical context and grammatical category of the subject determine variation in this domain of grammar, repeating a recurrent pattern shown by other Atlantic creoles. These findings provide a more complete picture of variation in the use of be in SAC and offer valuable evidence regarding the vitality, unity and heterogeneity of this creole.","PeriodicalId":35132,"journal":{"name":"Miscelanea","volume":"61 1","pages":"13-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49249392","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}

Forty-four Spanish learners of English and 29 native speakers of English were administered two judgement tasks designed to gauge the effect of the Communicative Principle of Relevance on their interpretation of reflexive anaphora in bare, referential and non-referential contexts. Results showed that, in accordance with this principle, the sloppy interpretation is favoured in bare and non-referential contexts, while strict readings prevail in referential contexts, these preferences being less marked for L2 learners than for native speakers. Moreover, the sloppy interpretation is chosen more frequently when native speakers are given a non-referential context, whereas it decreases when L2 learners are provided with the very same context, indicating that the syntax-pragmatics interface makes up an information processing load and acts as a distractor for L2 English learners.","PeriodicalId":35132,"journal":{"name":"Miscelanea","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43876915","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}

Lexical innovation is accounted for in the light of three criteria: types of neologisms according to morphological analysis, fields of use, and motivations for their creation. It is concluded that the shared reasons behind the use of neologisms built by means of word-formation devices (derivation, composition and shortening) are basically pragmatic and manipulative, and that, as part of discourse, the new lexical items thus created become efficient tools, since they provide a hint of authenticity in the fictional worlds portrayed and contribute to the critical and didactic quality of dystopian narrative.","PeriodicalId":35132,"journal":{"name":"Miscelanea","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69117233","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}

Existe un volumen considerable de literatura sobre los factores que intervienen, por un lado, en el desarrollo de la competencia oral, que pueden clasificarse como perceptuales, cognitivos o metacognitivos y, por otro, en las estrategias de la enseñanza y el aprendizaje que apoyan dicho proceso. Los autores de este artículo desarrollaron una app de aprendizaje asistido de lenguas (MALL según el acrónimo inglés), denominada ANT (Audio News Trainer), para apoyar a los estudiantes en dicho aprendizaje, ofreciéndoles grabaciones de audio con noticias de actualidad y actividades de aprendizaje relacionadas con ellas. Hay dos versiones de la aplicación, una es para el uso individual y otra está vinculada a Facebook para potenciar los aspectos psicopedagógicos relevantes en el desarrollo de la comprensión oral. En este artículo se exploran dos preguntas de investigación acerca del uso de dicha red social para motivar a los estudiantes y para ayudarles a que se autorregulen mejor respectivamente, utilizando cuestionarios y datos experimentales recopilados del uso de ANT. Los resultados obtenidos de estos análisis muestran que la interacción guiada entre estudiantes de una segunda lengua en la red social Facebook causa un impacto significativo en la motivación y en la autorregulación que acompañan la evolución de la comprensión oral.","PeriodicalId":35132,"journal":{"name":"Miscelanea","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47532573","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}
