Download or read book The Semantic Structure of Spanish written by Larry D. King and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1992-11-29 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, linguistics has become increasingly more willing to allow some type of representation of 'meaning' in the study of language. However, most approaches deal with sentence or utterance meaning and thereby ignore the meaning of linguistic form. Yet no description of linguistic semantics can be complete without a comprehensive account between meaning and form. This study returns to the problem of form and meaning by presenting a detailed account of certain forms in Spanish which have traditionally been called grammatical forms, or grammatical categories, and associated with grammatical meaning. It is suggested that not all linguistic forms represent the same kind of 'meaning', and that a subset of grammatical forms constitute a highly organized system that parallels phonology and syntax in its capacity to explain variation at the level of discourse. The book opens with an introductory chapter, which is followed by five chapters on the analysis of the Spanish verbal system. In Chapter 7 problems of the noun phrase (the meaning of determiners and grammatical number) are discussed. Chapter 8 offers an explanation of the meaning of the direct object a, and in Chapter 9 a crosslinguistic study of the semantics of Spanish and English is presented. A summary of findings is given in Chapter 10, along with a further consideration of the goals and procedures of semantic analysis.

This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uno de los grandes problemas de la infinidad que existe, referente a la escasa cultura de la lectura en México es la poca promoción de actividades de sensibilización a la lectura. Me refiero desde luego a las instituciones oficiales que por antonomasia le corresponde realizar todo lo referente a esta área. Por lo mencionado a priori, al no existir espacios o escaparates donde los niños y jóvenes puedan dar a conocer su gran creatividad e imaginación, simple y sencillamente la sociedad deja de evolucionar para quedar en el oscurantismo, como en el Medioevo. En esa patética pasividad, a los niños se les coarta la posibilidad de seguir desarrollando a su máxima capacidad su creatividad. Una vez analizado profundamente durante muchos años y como docente de la Primaria "Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez", de Palenque, Chiapas; México; vi que existía la necesidad imperiosa de hacer realidad todas las actividades del gran proyecto cultural visionario, pero cultura en el amplio sentido de la palabra; que inicié hace aproximadamente veinte años, y precisamente la publicación de la presente obra que contiene las producciones literarias de alumnos de primaria y secundaria, solo es uno de los elementos cristalizados del proyecto. Pero enfatizo algo, no solo es suficiente realizar todo lo mencionado a priori, sino debe existir la necesidad imperiosa de ser filántropo para realizar todo aquello que para la gran mayoría de los entes lo tienen concebido como imposible, es decir; su chip ya se lo programaron para que piensen y actúen como tal. Es nuestra responsabilidad evitar a toda costa que esto le ocurra a las nuevas generaciones.

Download or read book Mexican Folk Narrative from the Los Angeles Area written by Elaine K. Miller and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-08-27 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Los Angeles is the setting in which Elaine Miller has collected her narratives from Mexican-Americans. The Mexican folk tradition, varied and richly expressive of the inner life not only of a people but also of the individual as each lives it and personalizes it, is abundantly present in the United States. Since it is in the urban centers that most Mexican-Americans have lived, this collection represents an important contribution to the study of that tradition and to the study of the changes urban life effects on traditional folklore. The collection includes sixty-two legendary narratives and twenty traditional tales. The legendary narratives deal with the virgins and saints as well as with such familiar characters as the vanishing hitchhiker, the headless horseman, and the llorona. Familiar characters appear in the traditional tales—Juan del Oso, Blancaflor, Pedro de Ordimalas, and others. Elaine Miller concludes that the traditional tales are dying out in the city because tale telling itself is not suited to the fast pace of modern urban life, and the situations and characters in the tales are not perceived by the people to be meaningfully related to the everyday challenges and concerns of that life. The legendary tales survive longer in an urban setting because, although containing fantastic elements, they are related to the beliefs and hopes of the narrator—even in the city one may be led to buried treasure on some dark night by a mysterious woman. The penchant of the informants for the fantastic in many of their tales often reflects their hopes and fears, such as their dreams of suddenly acquiring wealth or their fears of being haunted by the dead. Miller closely observes the teller's relation to the stories—to the duendes, the ánimas, Death, God, the devil—and she notes the tension on the part of the informant in his relation to their religion. The material is documented according to several standard tale and motif indices and is placed within the context of the larger body of Hispanic folk tradition by the citation of parallel versions throughout the Hispanic world. The tales, transcribed from taped interviews, are presented in colloquial Spanish accompanied by summaries in English.

Download or read book La ley chilena de etiquetado de alimentos The Chilean food labelling law written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An adequate nutrition provides us with the necessary energy for the appropriate functioning and care of our body, and is the first defence against diseases. However, many people today still do not have access to food, do not eat enough or do not eat poorly. Nutrition problems (malnutrition, obesity, etc.) encompass inappropriate choices and practices that can be addressed through effective public policies. In this context, parliamentary alliances such as the Parliamentary Front against Hunger in Latin America and the Caribbean, and specialized agencies such as FAO, play a key role in educating consumers and preventing diseases. During an event on the role of parliamentarians in improving global nutrition, on 14 June 2018 at FAO headquarters, Senator Guido Girardi Lavin presented the Chilean initiative aimed at fighting against unhealthy foods. Also participating at the event were Jesús Manuel Gracia Aldaz, former Ambassador of Spain to the Italian State, and Anna Lartey, Director of FAO’s Nutrition and Food Systems Division. This publication is a collection of the speeches that took place on this occasion.
