Abstract:

Resum: Una de les característiques del català antic que no s’ha conservat, tret d’algunes restes dialectals, és la doble auxiliaritat dels temps de perfet, que es construïen amb haver o ésser (p. ex., ha parlat vs. és arribat). El primer ocorria en les construccions transitives i intransitives agentives, mentre que el segon era emprat en les estatives, esdevenimentals, resultatives de canvi d’estat i de lloc, intransitives pronominals, reflexives directes i passives. Tot i que la substitució de ésser per haver és un procés que es va desenvolupar sobretot durant l’edat moderna i que va culminar

Abstract:

This article examines spatial expressions from a Cognitive Linguistics approach. It argues that spatial expressions are used not only to describe concrete objects, but also to refer to abstract notions by means of metaphorical locations. Specifically, the basic conceptual schema for any location can result in more abstract schemata to refer to a property, a state, an activity, or a possession. Conveying these four abstract notions entails using a variety of syntactic structures, one of them being the focus of this paper: “copula verb (ésser/estar ‘be’) + en ‘in’ + NP.” This structure is examin

Abstract:

In this article I deal with the Catalan epistemic marker pot molt ben ser ‘it may very well be’, which expresses high confidence on the part of the speaker in the truth value of the propositional content of his utterance. I start by extracting examples of the construction from the CICA, CIVAL and CTILC computerized corpora, and then analyse them within the framework of the Invited Inference Theory of Semantic Change (Traugott & Dasher 2002). Grammaticalization begins in contexts in which the modal periphrasis with poder ‘can, may/might’ as auxiliary and ésser ‘be’ as main verb is intensifi

Abstract In this paper, we will present an overview of compounding in Catalan, covering the founding theoretical-descriptive studies of the 20th century to the most recent scholarship.

We will also consider the various types of compounding documented in Catalan, as well as the syntactic and semantic relationships between the elements that make up a compound. Finally, we will analyse newly-created compounds that shed light on the p

Abstract:

In this study we examine the effects of word boundaries on the lenition of intervocalic voiceless plosives in Catalan in order to test the role of phonological contrastiveness in phonetic processes. Here we test the hypothesis that word-final intervocalic voiceless plosives (VC#V) will show greater lenition than word-internal and word-initial intervocalic tokens (VCV, V#CV), since in word-final position the contrast between /ptk/ and /bdg/ is neutralized. Lenition should be manifested acoustically as greater intensity, shorter duration and greater voicing. We find weaker support for the hypoth

Abstract:

In the realm of linguistics, the concept of “semanticity” was recently introduced as a novel measure designed to study linguistic networks. In a given text, semanticity is defined as the ratio of the potential number of meanings associated with a word to the number of different words with which it is linguistically linked. This concept provides a quantitative indicator that reflects a word’s semantic complexity and its role in a language. In this pilot study, we applied the semanticity measure to the Catalan language, aiming to investigate its effectiveness in automatically distinguishing cont

In his pioneering research, G. K.

Although these laws were formulated more than half a century ago, they have been only investigated in a few languages. Here we present the first study of these laws in Catalan.

This study examines whether Differential Object Marking (DOM) realization and word order in relative clauses (RCs) in Spanish affect processing and interpretation among monolinguals and highly proficient Catalan–Spanish bilinguals. RCs are parallel in Catalan and Spanish, but DOM is much more restricted in Catalan than in Spanish, and, interestingly, the distinction between subject and object RCs relies mainly on the presence/absence of DOM. To examine DOM optionality, we concentrate on the top portion of the animacy scale and test the human/non-human contrast. Exploring these two populations

Abstract:

Central Catalan ‘prepalatal’ (postalveolar) consonants show a complex phonological distribution. Whereas in word-internal intervocalic position a four-way opposition obtains, involving a contrast in voice and a fricative/affricate distinction, elsewhere at least one of the two oppositions is neutralized. Position in word determines whether affrication and/or voicing is contrastive. We study the effect of this factor as well as other phonetic factors and style on the allophony of the voiced prepalatals in a large corpus of Central Catalan.

In order to test these perceptions, we developed a questionnaire and administered it to 152 speakers of Catalan from different backgrounds. These speakers were asked to evaluate 20 neologisms

Catalan, like other Romance languages, has two pairs of phonemic mid vowels (/be/ “well” vs. /bɛ/ “lamb”; /os/ “bear” vs. /ɔs/ “bone”). However, these contrasts do not function like others in the language: they are partially phonologically conditioned, and evidence shows that words may be pronounced with different mid vowels by speakers of the same variety or even by the same speaker. Spanish may influence this instability, as first-language Spanish Catalan-Spanish bilinguals struggle to perceive and produce the contrast.

After a brief introduction to the history of the origins and the basic assumptions of this theoretical approach, we examine how the theory is able to capture linguistic variation; the behavior of occlusive consonants meeting at word boundaries in the various Catalan dialects on the one hand and the behavior of sequences of adjacent sibilants in the different Balearic varieties

Abstract:

In Catalan, -isme ‘-ism’, -itis, and -metre ‘-meter’ create new words that do not follow the WFRs described in grammar books and dictionaries. As a result, these lexical innovations, such as panxacontentisme (panxacontent ‘carefree’ + -ism ‘-ism’), titulitis (títol ‘certificate’ + ‘-itis’), and emocionòmetre (emoció ‘emotion’ + -metre ‘-meter’), tend to be considered transgressive. The main aim of this paper is to provide a close review of grammar books and dictionaries among other sources to compare the rules described in the literature and the data provided by the bank of neologisms of the O

Abstract:

This paper examines the extent to which vowel height data taken from real words differs from data taken from nonsense words, and it finds no significant differences. As a result, it provides quantitative acoustic data for the seven stressed and three unstressed vowels of Standard Catalan (as uttered by female speakers). The data are drawn from three distinct phonetic contexts, i.e., /bVp/, /bVt/, and /bVk/, and the /bVp/ context consists entirely of nonsense words (the other contexts were all real words). A comparison and statistical analysis of the data for each vowel phoneme show that there

Abstract:

In the south of France, the French language has developed in contact with Occitan in Provence and Languedoc, in contact with Catalan in Roussillon. This study reports on a first analysis of data collected in these regions, during a field survey carried out among speakers of Occitan and Catalan, in addition to French. In particular, we compared the prosody of yes/no questions ending in a word stressed on the penultimate syllable (e.g caserna ‘barracks’ in Occitan or Catalan, caserne with a pronounced final schwa in southern French). On the last two syllables of questions, it turns out that the

Summary: The paper examines the lexicon used by young Catalan speakers by studying a night-time radio program called Prohibit als pares (‘Parents Not Allowed’), which the station Ràdio Flaixbac FM aired during the period of Sept. 2003–July 2006. The show targeted mainly young people and dealt with topics such as love, sex, friendship, infidelity or drugs. The published materials manage to convey the no-holds-barred nature of the program, rendering the text very close to the hearts of young people, who identify with what is said. Precisely because of the specific features of the show and the ac

Only in precious incunabula from 1494 has a Catalan version/translation and detailed commentary of Ovid's Metamorphoses ("Transformations") survived, the author of which, Francesc Alegre, is one of the last Catalan humanists. The inaccessibility of the work, which failed to be published in the last century, means that the work and its author remain almost unknown. With reference to this fact, Lola Badia has recently rejected the superficiality of the few, almost exclusively negative judgments about Alegre and his work.

Abstract:

Data for closure duration and the stop burst, as well as on the duration of the adjacent phonetic segments, reveal that speakers of Valencian Catalan produce differently the clusters /lts/ and /ls/, and /rts/ and /rs/, where /t/ is an underlying phoneme in /lts,rts/ and stop epenthesis may occur in /ls,rs/. Only a subset of speakers contrast the production of the nasal cluster pairs /mps/–/ms/ and /nts/–/ns/. Stop epenthesis applies regularly in the sequences /ms,ns,ls, ʎs, ɲs/ but the inserted segment is only phonetically robust in the two latter clusters with an alveolopalatal consonant and

Abstract:

Researchers investigating the Spanish word mismo and its Catalan congener mateix have traditionally focused exclusively on phonological issues, ignoring a number of worthy semantic topics. In this paper I explore the polysemy patterns of these forms in a cross-linguistic perspective. I argue that such examination of polysemy patterns in different languages will help us understand the nature of polysemy. I also claim that the evidence points to a three-way division of the lexicon into lexical, semi-lexical, and grammatical subparts.

Abstract:

Performance-based studies on the psychological nature of linguistic competence can conceal significant differences in the brain processes that underlie native versus nonnative knowledge of language. Here we report results from the brain activity of very proficient early bilinguals making a lexical decision task that illustrates this point. Two groups of Spanish-Catalan early bilinguals (Spanish-dominant and Catalan-dominant) were asked to decide whether a given form was a Catalan word or not. The nonwords were based on real words, with one vowel changed. In the experimental stimuli, the vowel

Abstract:

This study investigates the production and auditory lexical processing of words involved in a patterned phonological alternation in two dialects of Catalan spoken on the island of Majorca, Spain. One of these dialects, that of Palma, merges /ɔ/ and /o/ as [o] in unstressed position, and it maintains /u/ as an independent category, [u]. In the dialect of Sóller, a small village, speakers merge unstressed /ɔ/, /o/, and /u/ to [u]. First, a production study asks whether the discrete, rule-based descriptions of the vowel alternations provided in the dialectological literature are able to account a

This article aims to examine the relationship between style and translation from two complementary perspectives: how the style of original texts fares in translation and how the style of individual translators or groups of translators sharing a common poetics becomes visible in their translated work. The first aspect is illustrated through an analysis of transitivity patterns in a passage from Henry James’s ‘The Turn of the Screw’, and of deviations from those patterns in two Catalan translations of the story. As to the second, the focus is on the notion of structural calque as displayed by th

En aquest treball, s’hi aporten raons per concloure que aquest mot és una creació de Joan Roís de Corella (1435-1497), primerament com a nom d’una certa color vermella (especialment aplicat a la sang de Crist o a la persona de la Verge Maria) i, en segona accepció, com a nom de la princesa de Constantinoble, en la novel·la Tirant lo Blanc (1490).Paraules clau: literatura clàssica catalana, traducció, unitat estilística, concordances lèxiques

Abstract:

Electropalatographic data on the frequency of occurrence of assimilatory processes in Catalan C1##C2 sequences, where ## is inserted at the boundary between two consecutive words, reveal that regressive place assimilations operate more often on C1 = /n/ than on C1 = /t/ and are triggered by /ɡ/ rather than by the labials /pbm/ and the voiceless velar stop /k/. Regressive manner assimilations involving nasality and laterality are facilitated by homorganicity between the two consecutive consonants and thus apply more frequently in the clusters /pmtntltʎ/, where C1 and C2 share the same labial or
