Este volumen colectivo reune a investigadores con lenguas de trabajo distantes o enraizadas en un tronco común (francés-español, inglés-español, chino-español, ruso-español, rumano-francés e italiano-inglés) que, basándose en corpus que abarcan géneros tan diversos como la prensa, las redes sociales, el cine, el comic o los repositorios instucionales, analizan, desde una óptica comparativa y/o traductológica, un amplio espectro de estructuras fraseológicas y terminológicas en las que las nociones de lengua y cultura son indisociables y plantean innumerables desafíos al traductor.
This volume aims to be a serious contribution to the issue of translating culture-specific elements. It brings together researchers with distant or related working languages: French-Spanish, English-Spanish, Chinese-Spanish, Russian-Spanish, Romanian-French and Italian-English. Based on corpora covering diverse genres such as press, social networks, cinema, comics or institutional repositories, they analyze, from a comparative and/or translation perspective, a wide spectrum of phraseological and terminological structures in which the notions of language and culture are inseparable and pose countless challenges to the translator.

Recent Advances in Multiword Units in Machine Translation and Translation Technology
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for: show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for:The investigation of phraseology through corpus-based and computational approaches holds significant relevance for various professionals, including translators, interpreters, terminologists, lexicographers, language instructors, and learners. Computational Phraseology, and in particular the computational analysis of multiword expressions (also known as multiword units), has gained prominence in recent years and is essential for a number of Natural Language Processing and Translation Technology applications. The failure to detect these units automatically could result in incorrect and problematic automatic translations and could hinder the performance of applications such as text summarisation and web search. Against this background, the volume offers 13 articles carefully selected and organised into two parts: ‘Computational treatment of multiword units’ and ‘Corpus-based and linguistic studies in phraseology‘. The contributions not only highlight the latest advancements in computational and corpus-based phraseology but also reiterate its vital role in all areas of language technologies, including basic and applied research.

Ruptured Commons
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for: show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for:At a time when we have all lived through profound and unexpected disruptions to our shared spaces, routines, economies, societies, and work-lives, this book considers the nature and implications of rupture, the commons, and their conjoining. Addressing rupture and disruption through the lens of literary and cultural studies, this volume traverses genres — film, fiction, theatre, poetry, and the graphic novel — and continents, and addresses histories and identities as ecologies. The focus is resolutely contemporary, with nearly all of the texts being analyzed produced within the last decade. Beginning with the history of, and debates about, Garrett Hardin’s famous “tragedy of the commons,” Ruptured Commons engages with texts and cultures of disaster wherein artistic expression becomes a form of protest and a path to change. This collection both critically examines our arrival at and understanding of this moment, and explores diverse, and hopeful, visions for the future embedded within contemporary culture.

Recent Developments in Hispanic Linguistics
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for: show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for:This book brings together eleven peer-reviewed chapters of cutting-edge research produced by both established and rising scholars in the field. Given that this volume is inspired by papers from the 25th iteration of the Hispanic Linguistics Symposium, the editors track the development of the field in the last quarter century and have organized the volume into three sections (linguistic structure and variation, US Spanish and heritage speakers, applied linguistics) reflecting current research trends. This edited volume will be a welcome resource for advanced undergraduate students, incoming and advanced graduate students, and researchers in the field, as well as Spanish language educators at all levels.

Revisiting Modality
show More to view fulltext, buy and share links for: show Less to hide fulltext, buy and share links for:This book presents the first in-depth investigation of modality in Galician linguistics, offering a theoretical discussion of modal categories and a fine-grained description of epistemic adverbs. The first half of the monograph deconstructs the most relevant approaches to modal categories and shows how the traditional concept of modality is a problematic notion, how it relates to other concepts such as evidentiality and mitigation, and how it ought to be conceived of in order to become a more useful instrument for linguistic analysis. A new way of understanding modality is explored and illustrated through Galician examples. The second half of the book zooms in on six epistemic adverbs, which are exhaustively studied from both a formal and a functional perspective. Combining a quantitative and a qualitative perspective, the book shows that adverbs make up a rich semantic scale and establishes several factors that condition their occurrence in discourse, challenging previous conceptions of this grammatical domain.
