The corpus includes the students' spontaneous written contributions to a compulsory online forum from the nonlinguistic subject, ICT Tools Applied to the Learning of English, included in the curriculum of the Degree in Early Childhood Education at Universidad Internacional de La Rioja (UNIR), from 2014-2015 to 2015-2016. The analysis reveals that these learners produce collocation errors with the high-frequency verb do in two different cases: 1) when they use do instead of make; and, 2) when they make use of do as an alternative to other verbs. Results show different underlying factors which are clearly interrelated. First, the students have problems to differentiate between do and make. Second, they make use of do with delexical constructions that require make and with causative make structures. Third, they make use of patterns from their mother tongue which are not always accurate in English. Finally, the students show low collocational awareness and competence. All these aspects suggest pedagogical implications for the teaching and learning of collocations with do which are also included in the paper.","PeriodicalId":40655,"journal":{"name":"Complutense Journal of English Studies","volume":"1 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88745779","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}

Within the applications designed for this purpose today, ARTEMIS follows the paradigm of unification grammars (Sag, I., Wasow, T. & Bender, E. 2003), and unlike other trending computational resources, it is theoretically grounded in linguistic models like RRG (Van Valin & LaPolla 1997 and Van Valin 2005), whose linking algorithm lies at the basis of the parsing process of our interlingua-based system. \u0000A fundamental component of ARTEMIS is the Grammar Development Environment (GDE), where feature-based production rules (syntactic, constructional and lexical) are stored and ready to allow the generation of the enhanced layered structure of the clause of natural language expressions (Periñán-Pascual 2013: 222). Syntactic rules for phrasal constituents and simple sentences have already been described (Cortés-Rodríguez 2016; Cortés-Rodríguez & Mairal-Usón 2016; Díaz-Galán & Fumero-Pérez 2015; Fumero-Pérez & Díaz-Galán 2017; Martín-Díaz 2017 and Martín-Díaz 2018), but it now turns to focus on complex sentences, and, to be more precise, on adverbial subordination. \u0000Bearing in mind the validation of these syntactic rules and the common problems that may arise in such parsing applications, our research will concentrate on the analysis of these structures as found in a Controlled Natural Language: ASD-STE100.","PeriodicalId":40655,"journal":{"name":"Complutense Journal of English Studies","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73430686","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}

For the critic, realism and modernism played a fundamental part in the consolidation of modern individuality through the use of textual strategies such as point of view and free indirect discourse, which conjure up the literary illusion of a unified self. These are procedures deftly used by Edith Wharton to build our novel’s central character, Lily Bart. At the same time, however, this individuality is inevitably threatened by Wharton’s particular views of society, influenced by social Darwinism, and by her acute awareness of social processes of reification and commodification. This article explores the conflict between Wharton’s proposal of a unified self and the reality of depersonalization reflected by the novel. Likewise, this essay examines the strategies of containment through which the novelist seeks to assuage this contradiction and compensate for the almost unbearable loss that her social views entail for the subject.","PeriodicalId":40655,"journal":{"name":"Complutense Journal of English Studies","volume":"54 86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86332223","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}

An analysis of the central female figure of Ayah underscores how acts of abduction and rape use woman’s sexuality as a tool to articulate religious/national enmity. Moreover, the paper will claim that Ayah’s abduction can be read as a punishment for her lack of adherence to cultural norms, which was expected from women during partition period, thereby highlighting that women’s bodies were (and continue to be) under patriarchal surveillance and regulation, and those who fail to abide by societal rules are inevitably discarded. Next, I intend to explore the effective use of female agency and solidarity in the novel as a means to counter male violence and subjugation. Furthermore, I will comment on the treatment of abducted/raped women by the patriarchal state to expose the social reality post partition where victimised women, due to their altered position as contaminated sexual beings, were ostracised by society. In essence, by investigating gendered violence during partition followed by continued societal victimisation of the female survivors, this paper will highlight how Sidhwa’s novel contributes to a thus far silenced gynocentric reading of partition history.","PeriodicalId":40655,"journal":{"name":"Complutense Journal of English Studies","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90096375","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}

Early reviewers and contemporary critics alike have hailed it as a metafictional masterpiece, relevant for its mise en abyme narrative structure, lawless characters and mock-epic bravado. However, little attention has been devoted to how such an innovative design was originally conceived by its author in the first place. This article holds the belief that Huxley’s fourth novel, Point Counter Point (1928), stands as a major intertext among the many literary sources O’Brien might have perused when composing At Swim-Two-Birds. Apart from the presence of several direct references to Point Counter Point within O’Brien’s novel, Huxley’s text encompasses metafictional mechanisms that function in a similar way to those at work in O’Brien’s novel. Although there is no factual proof that O’Brien had read Huxley’s novel before he wrote At Swim-Two-Birds, this article endeavours to prove the existence of formal links between both metafictional assemblages by means of a detailed comparative analysis, ultimately concluding that O’Brien had indeed read Point Counter Point before setting out to write his first novel and found the self-referential features of Huxley’s work potentially productive.","PeriodicalId":40655,"journal":{"name":"Complutense Journal of English Studies","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73882088","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}

However, their effects are sometimes invisible, and a great effort should be made to develop awareness of their influence in the population. Our main claim is that School has an essential role to teach gender and sexual equality through the curricula, using teaching materials that are free of these stereotypes. The main aim of this study is to examine the presence of gender and sexually oriented stereotypes in various English teaching materials within the context of the Spanish Primary School, focusing on its last stage. This research carries out a qualitative and quantitative analysis of three English textbooks together with the students’ and teachers’ perceptions of gender stereotypes. The analysis is done thanks to the review of key concepts, such as gender awareness and sexual identity, as well as the presentation of various examination tools that have allowed us to evaluate the sexist content in the textbooks selected and offer some guidelines to avoid them in the English classroom.","PeriodicalId":40655,"journal":{"name":"Complutense Journal of English Studies","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81153864","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}
