The present thesis is on third and additional languages acquisition and language intercomprehension. In its first part, we present the main theoretical and pedagogical studies on language teaching and learning, taking advantage of our own teaching experience over the last fifteen years. In the second part, the empirical study, we provide data that shows the potential not only of the multilingual knowledge but also of the previous learning experience in the process of understanding a new language. In order to do this, we will evaluate a group of multilingual speakers´ ability to understand a text written in Catalan, a language to which they have not been exposed before. Third and additional languages teaching and learning is a multidisciplinary phenomenon in which sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic and pedagogical factors come into play, all of which will be approached in our study. In the sociolinguistic field we intend to provide an overview of multilingualism in modern society, which will allow us to understand why it is important to devote further study to third and additional languages acquisition. In the area of psycholinguistics, we shed light on the variables involved in the processing of a L3 and in interlingual inference. In the educational level we´ll explain the new teaching models that incorporate the multilingual knowledge in the teaching and learning practice, and we´ll offer some guidelines to take advantage of the student´s multilingual knowledge in the classroom. We hope that the findings of this study can be implemented in the field of language teaching and learning within an educational model that accommodates the multilingual and multicultural diversity that is characteristic of today's society.

Uno de los problemas más complejos de tratar dentro la disciplina de las ciencias cognitivas es el que corresponde al lenguaje y la conducta lingüística. Este se ha resistido a una teorización satisfactoria desde los inicios de la psicología cognitiva. La diversidad de dimensiones que manifiesta hacen difícil la tarea de determinar qué elementos teóricos y metodológicos son los más propicios para abordarlo y explicarlo. No obstante, existen posturas que han realizado grandes avances en la investigación sistemática del fenómeno y han logrado dar cuenta, en menor y/o mayor grado, de aspectos relevantes de este. Autores como Chomsky, Hauser, Fitch, Pinker Bloom y Jackendoff (denominados formalistas) destacan el aspecto estructuralmente complejo y formal del lenguaje. Sus herramientas teóricas y metodológicas principales son las presentes en el enfoque cognitivista o clásico. Investigadores como Elman también destacan el aspecto estructural complejo del fenómeno, no obstante su concepción del lenguaje involucra elementos dinámicos que no tienen cabida en la posición formalista. Además, los recursos teóricos y metodológicos que utiliza son aquellos que están disponibles en el enfoque conexionista. Y teóricos como Cowley y Tomasello destacan los aspectos distribuidos y simbólicos de lenguaje, valiéndose de recursos teóricos y metodológicos presentes en algunas posturas pertenecientes a las teorías alternativas en ciencia cognitiva. Considerando las posiciones mencionadas, uno de los desafíos que se observa es lograr determinar qué caracterización del lenguaje permitiría una individuación del fenómeno fructífera, en términos investigativos, que pueda abarcar la mayor cantidad de sus dimensiones y que presente la menor cantidad de problemas en su desarrollo teórico. También poder determinar qué marco de explicación (ya sea el cognitivista, conexionista o alternativo) está en condiciones para tratarlo.

"Frankenwords: a cognitive perspective on the interpretation of NOUN-NOUN compounds in English." Tesis, Universidad de Chile, 2017. http://repositorio.uchile.cl/handle/2250/143386.
NOUN - NOUN compounds have been extensively studied in the past, not only for the reason that they possess a remarkable degree of diversity regarding semantic relationships between their constituents but also because of their complexity as composite structures (Benczes, 2006). In the following study, we intend to delve into English NOUN - NOUN compounds from a cognitive constructional perspective, specifically regarding their form and the emergent structure they create. Previous cognitive linguistic attempts at addressing compounding have yielded a typology based on the occurrence of metaphoric and metonymic extension. Nevertheless, this typology could be improved by addressing heretofore unaddressed vexing matters regarding the complexity of the inner workings of compounding. Hence, we will inquire into NOUN - NOUN compounds as an interpretative result of a blending process, decomposing creativity into observable factors, such as the prototypicality of the components of the compound, their grammatical arrangement, the semantic distance between them, as well as the schematicity of their blending’s generic space. Hence, we will analyse NOUN - NOUN compounds exploring factors such as prototypicality, blending processes, syntactic structure, semantic distance and schematicity of generic space, to see how these factors affect the creation of compounds, the generic space, and the interpretation of the resulting compound. To do this, we selected nouns drawn from 7 superordinate semantic categories, each one with 3 basic level members that were run through the NOW corpus and the online dictionary WordSpy in order to obtain compounds at the subordinate level of a semantic hierarchy. The compounds of each category were then analysed regarding the aforementioned factors in order to reach an intra-categorical and inter-categorical analysis of NOUN - NOUN creative compounding that re-addresses creativity in terms of these factors.

The kawapana linguistic family of northeastern Peru is formed by shiwilu and shawi languages, also known as Jebero and Chayahuita respectively. Ordinarily, it is usually categorize kawapana languages as “Amazonian” linguistic entities. However, this study shows that they share significant grammatical similarities to the central-andean quechua and aymara families, as well as other languages of the relatively nearby lowlands. This convergence would be the result of linguistic changes induced by contact or indirect dissemination. In addition to unveiling the complex grammatical profile of languages kawapana, this study provides evidence in favor of an intermediate language area between the Amazon and the Andes, of which kawapana languages form part.

This paper addresses the linguistic uses of terms related to light and those linked to the darkness in the original Greek version of the New Testament as well as the opposition between the two. The concept of light, from a previous tradition of the Old Testament, is clearly symbolic, pointing to God as the ultimate source, which radiates to those who follow him, who in turn, can enlighten other people. Conversely the absence of God leads to darkness, which opposes to him and the result of this opposition is the prevalence of light. Light is expressed especially with the noun φῶς and some other terms. On the contrary, the darkness is described mainly with σκότος noun, which express the interior emptiness whether is psychological, intellectual or moral.

Marín, Pérez María José. "Identificación y análisis del vocabulario especializado de los repertorios de jurisprudencia británicos : estudio basado en un corpus de este género legal, fundamento de los sistemas legales Common Law= Identification and analysis of the specialised vocabulary of british law reports : a corpus-driven study of this legal genre at the core of Common Law legal systems." Doctoral thesis, Universidad de Murcia, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/128621.
This doctoral thesis aims at identifying and analysing the specialised vocabulary in BLaRC (the British Law Report Corpus), an ad hoc legal corpus of British Law Reports of 8.85 million words, which is described and justified in detail in chapter 2. In order to do so, ten different ATR methods are implemented on a 2.6 million word corpus, UKSCC (the United Kingdom Supreme Court Corpus), extracted from the main one to facilitate their implementation and validation process. Chapter 3 is devoted to the evaluation of such ATR methods as regards the precision levels achieved in term identification by each of them. Average precision is calculated through the automatic comparison of the lists of candidate terms (CTs) produced by each method with a gold standard, that is, an electronic legal glossary of 10,088 entries, also compiled for this research. Cumulative precision is measured following the same procedure so as to observe and compare the way it evolves as the number of identified terms augments. As a result, Terminus 2.0 (Nazar & Cabré, 2012) and TermoStat (2003), the best performing techniques, are selected with the aim of implementing them on BLaRC. After doing so, the validated lists of both single and multi-word legal terms extracted from it are offered in section 3.2.4. Chapter 3 ends with the proposal of some activities aimed at illustrating the varied applications and uses of specialised corpora and vocabulary lists in ESP teaching. Owing to the relevance of sub-technical vocabulary as a major component of the legal lexicon, a quantitative method is proposed in chapter 4 to measure its degree of specialisation based on the context of usage of this type of words. William’s (2001) lexical network model is applied to a set of general, highly specialised and sub-technical words in order to observe and compare the number and frequency of their collocates and co-collocates both in BLaRC, the specialised corpus, and LACELL, the general one. The observation of the data obtained leads to the formulation of the algorithm Sub-Tech allowing to place the words analysed along a continuum of specialisation depending on the data obtained after the implementation of Williams’ model. Finally, with the purpose of describing sub-technical vocabulary from a semantic perspective, Cantos and Sánchez’s (2001) lexical constellation model is applied to analyse the semantic features of the shared terms trial, charge and battery resulting into a much clearer picture of the process undergone by sub-technical words from general usage to specialisation. The application of this model in combination with the quantitative method described above may be regarded as a first step towards a better understanding of a lexical phenomenon which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been explored in depth to date.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue caracterizar las representaciones sociales sobre las lenguas y variedades de la ecología lingüística circunscrita al territorio del estado chileno presentes en los discursos de integrantes de la Academia Chilena de la Lengua desde una perspectiva antropolingüística. Para ello se analizaron con un enfoque metodológico cualitativo un corpus compuesto por una selección de discursos pronunciados en actividades oficiales de la institución entre los años 2014 y 2015, difundidos a través del Boletín N°81 de la Academia Chilena de la Lengua, y dos entrevistas realizadas a miembros de número de la misma entidad. Los resultados arrojaron valoraciones y estereotipos sobre la lengua reproducidos en acciones concretas que buscan influir en la ciudadanía a través de la construcción de una norma estándar, asociada a una concepción de la comunidad lingüística panhispánica homogénea y unificada. Analizamos las implicancias políticas, culturales y económicas de dichas representaciones y sus consecuencias en relación a la construcción de una imagen pública del español para concluir que, en la actualidad, la Academia Chilena actúa como una agencia de control cultural promotora de ideologías lingüísticas vinculadas a grupos culturalmente hegemónicos.

Nicolás, Conesa Florentina. "Development of Mental Models of Writing in a Foreign Language Context: Dynamics of Goals and Beliefs La Evolución de Modelos Mentales de Escritura en un Contexto de Lengua Extranjera: Dinámica de Objetivos y Creencias." Doctoral thesis, Universidad de Murcia, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/120482.
The present study is a longitudinal investigation on EFL university learners’ mental models of writing (understood as a set of beliefs and goals) in an EAP course and their effects on performance. Data collection involved language proficiency tests, L2 compositions, interviews and self-reflective journals. A mixed method approach that involved quantitative and qualitative analyses was used. The results indicate the development of a knowledge-transforming model of writing, the reduction of students’ multidimensional models of composition to bidimensional ones and the existence of different task conceptualizations related to a hierarchical network of goals which results in distinct writing achievement. The contribution of the study lies in furthering our understanding of writer-internal factors that help to advance both theoretical knowledge of SL writing and to improve pedagogical practices related to writing achievement, motivation and self-regulation.

My research focuses on the experience gathered over twenty years as a certified translator of Arabic involved in the translation of legal and financial documents into Spanish and the main difficulties encountered in the translation process. The dissertation is divided into two sections. The first one analyses the original sources of the main financial and legal terms in Arabic throughout history, taking into account particularly the colonial period due to the influence of neologisms from European languages. A detailed examination is conducted on the main procedures used to coin new terms, such as derivation, lexical compounds, acronyms, loan translations or calques, arabization, metaphorization and other difficulties arising from the creation of new specialised terms, discussing the role of the Academies of Arts and Letters in this field. Another factor considered has been the impact of translations on the Arabic language. The second section revolves around four key issues which we have ascertained when translating financial or legal Arabic documents into Spanish: (1) the use of metaphors, (2) terminology differences, (3) Anglicisms and (4) acronyms. One of our contributions to the state of the art lies in the extensive reference to original documents from the Arab media and official institutions, providing at all times a parallel text.
Pérez, García Encarnación. "Deixis social y (des)cortesía verbal como estrategias argumentativas: análisis discursivo del debate político desde un enfoque sociopragmático." Doctoral thesis, Universidad de Murcia, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/284778.
The present research derives from regarding language as the principal means for the transmission of ideas, thoughts and intentions, both individual and collective. This is added to the assertion which states that language is not a static mechanism, but rather reflects the changes and events occurring in society. Therefore, the binomial language/society is established, stemming from the concept of verbal interaction. Throughout the present work, it will be proven how certain linguistic uses are put at the speaker’s service for the accomplishment of specific purposes, drawn up according to the demands of the immediate context where the communicative exchange is produced, as well as the social circumstances which affect the development of strategies. This way, the socio-pragmatic approach, chosen so as to perform the practical application of the initial theoretical studies, is justified. The explanation of the different linguistic contributions will next lead to the categorization of mechanisms on which the present research is based: social deixis and verbal (im)politeness, as procedures which support the persuasive function of the speaker, characteristic of the argumentative speech. The methodology chosen to fulfill the proposed objectives has a deductive principle, for it starts off with the theoretical revision, leading up to the discursive analysis of a corpus, formed by a parliamentarian political debate (centered on the economic crisis of 2008). To carry out this work, the following objectives were set: 1) Devising a theoretical framework when language is explained on the grounds of its social character; 2) Defining verbal interaction as the unit of analysis; 3) Delving into aspects of Sociolinguistics, Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis; 4) Observing the codification of interpersonal relationships existing in language by means of social deixis and verbal (im)politeness, leading up to the socio-pragmatic approach; 5) Analyzing the most significant works dealing with Discourse Analysis and the typology for the description of the argumentative text, more specifically, the political debate; 6) Choosing and analyzing a corpus of concrete data to prove the initial theory; 7) Observing how social deixis and verbal (im)politeness act as support strategies for the argumentation within the political debate, while informing about the persuasive intention of the participants; 8) Determining how the receiver deals with the speaker’s discourse so as to exert an influence over it; 9) Systematizing the results obtained from this research in the elaboration of conclusions. Finally, after the research and analysis process, the following conclusions were drawn: 1) the original linguistic research neglected the social and communicative aspects; 2) The inclusion of the concept context gave way for new disciplines, Pragmatics and Discourse Analysis among them, which stem from the study of verbal interaction; 3) it has been proven that social deixis and verbal (im)politeness work as strategies which contribute to persuasion in the argumentative text, especially in the context of the political debate; 4) Language reflects the social changes with strategic linguistic uses depending on the speaker’s intention, as happens with the concept of solidary politeness, coined for this work, understood as how by means of the expression of sympathy for disadvantaged social groups, the speaker intends to gain the confidence of society as a whole. The present research contributes to specific areas of knowledge such as Politics, Oratory, Pragmatics, Sociolinguistics, Discourse Analysis, as well as teacher training in any given field, especially the linguistic and philosophical. It supposes, as well, the beginning of future works which may delve further into the socio-pragmatic perspective.

In the present research, the importance of Spanish Sign Language (LSE) and the figure of the interpreter of Spanish Sign Language (ILSE) as an instrument of communication with deaf people are addressed. Moreover, the information and communications technology (ICT) must provide the possibility for people with hearing disabilities to access information, knowledge and communication through the Internet. The aim of this study is to analyse the relevance that ICT and the Internet have as a facilitating tool for integration from the digital point of view of people with hearing impairment and assess the quality of access to the web of institutions as Federations of the Spanish Deaf (Federaciones de sordos de España, FSE), Associations of the Spanish Deaf (Asociaciones de sordos de España, ASE) and Associations of Spanish Sign Language Interpreters (Asociaciones de intérpretes de Lengua de Signos de España, AILSE). In the study, exploratory and descriptive research techniques are combined. For data collection, it has been defined set of parameters and indicators proposed by different specialists and various UNE (Una Norma Española) Regulations that reflect specific characteristics of the LSE. Some parameters and indicators have been proposed by the author herself. According to the three parameters reported as a result of the research, it appears that the best average score is obtained by the FSE with 59.31 points, followed by the ASE with 51.37 points and finally, those which get worse average overall score are AILSE with 50.86 points. Based on the five levels of accessibility defined in the study, known as inaccessible, little or poor accessibility, accessible with limitations, good accessibility and excellent accessibility, after applying these levels based on overall scores obtained by each entity sets, it shows that the FSE reach a higher level of accessibility with respect to the other two groups of entities analysed. Moreover, the ASE and AILSE show a number of limitations that make the overall information provided by their respective websites to be considered little or poor accessibility for hearing impaired people. Those differences, regarding the mean, are statistically significant. In addition, the detected weak points in the analysed resources are pointed and corrective and improvement measures are established. Recommendations are provided so that, if implemented, analysed entities can be closer to the ideal web design. Finally, the study propose a Code of Good Practices for those entities that wish to correct the errors detected by the study, and recommendations are proposed for the Public Administration on how to set up an accessible website for people with a hearing disability .

The Bible states that man was created by God with the characteristic ability to name and to speak (Redmonds, 2004). Albaigès (1998) and Darlington (2015) refer to the issue of names as a fascinating topic but it had only been regarded as a pastime (García-Cornejo, 2001; Redmonds, 2004). Although in recent times the interest in this subject has grown, until now most of the research has been devoted to the exploration of surnames and place names (Postles, 2002; Alomar, 2005). The names themselves as well as the reactions to names are full of expressivity (Evans & Green, 2006). Many different factors can be involved in the choice of a name, e.g. euphony, fashion, family tradition, religion, books, films (Withycombe, 1971; Zittoun, 2004). This study uses a comparative perspective in order to provide more empirical evidence for the significance of forenames, hypocorisms and nicknames in our lives by exploring more closely their richness and colourfulness, as portrayed in people’s reactions to them, in two different languages, English and Spanish. The participants were 425 males and females over 25 year-old whose usual place of residence was the metropolitan district of Murcia or Leeds. A semi-structured questionnaire with two versions, in Spanish and English, was used. The study was conducted over a period of two years (2010-2012). First of all, the metropolitan districts were chosen. Our participants were then selected from those who met the conditions previously mentioned (quota non-probability sampling strategy). Later, the questionnaire was designed. A personal interview modality was used (Rincón, 1991), which took about 10 minutes to complete. The data were analysed by using the statistical package SPSS 19.0.0 for Windows. Univariate, bivariate and association analysis techniques were used. Qualitative analyses of the quantitative information and a purely qualitative analysis of spontaneous comments from the participants were undertaken. The findings reveal that in both municipal districts, the younger the participant, the higher the rate of preference for shortened, changed or lengthened name forms. However, other factors (e.g. religion or beauty) may also have a bearing on the extent to which one form is chosen over another. Although most forenames assessed in terms of sound are liked in Murcia and Leeds, some such as Jéssica or Jénnifer are not favourably positioned in Spain, origin being involved in the fact that these names receive negative liking ratings. In Murcia and its surrounds respondents find more funny connotations than in Leeds and districts, especially as a result of the different associations evoked. The name versions Antonia-Antonella and Sonia-Sofía/Sophia elicit a similar rate of preferences in the two municipal districts, with a tendency towards Antonia and Sofía/Sophia, respectively. In the latter group most of the participants prefer the sound of the complete name rather than a sound or sounds in particular. Non-pejorative reasons (simply disliking the sound) are more common in both countries. The most disliked name in Murcia and districts is always the female counterpart while the choice is more balanced in terms of gender in Leeds and its surrounds. Emotional reactions are found in which neither the interpretations of questions nor the answers are categorical. Association is the factor par excellence, with a clear tendency towards associating names with football and T.V. celebrities on the part of Spaniards and literature on the part of Britons. The lexis used by participants is very varied and rich. Spaniards are more direct and explicit. Comments about names are full of expressive language: we find hyperboles, metaphors, metonymies, similes, symbols, sound symbolism and word play. Like Tsirópulos (1987), now we also feel the richness of names, their LIFE. The results obtained in this research project have provided us with some important findings, but there are obvious limitations. Using a more substantial number of name exemplars would be recommended in order to further substantiate and validate the conclusions of this study.

This situation might be causing a cultural and linguistic homogenization process affecting the main world languages (De Swaan, 2010) and endangering many indigenous ones (Skutnabb-Kangas and Phillipson, 2010). This doctoral thesis deals with foreignwords and loanwords (Gómez Capuz, 1998) transferred from English to Peninsular Spanish and with certain socio-demographics factors (speakers’ age and social class, as well as the type of geolect they speak and their level of English) affecting their rates of knowledge and usage. To carry out this empirical research, we provided different types of informants from all around Spain with questionnaires so as to collect data about how many transferred words they know and use in 3 main diaphasic varieties (common speech, semi-technic and technic registers). These surveys contain 16 words for each register classified into different onomasiological categories to cover all kinds of contexts the transferred words may appear. 609 Spanish speakers completed questionnaires with 4 sections: A) They were shown different words classified according to the aforementioned categories and asked if they know the meaning of those foreignwords and loanwords in those specific contexts; B) The same words appeared in a Likert scale so that informants could express how often they use them (options ranging from never to very often); C) In the first 3 types of questionnaires, participants were asked about the kind of information they read, see or listen to in the media, whereas in the fourth type they were inquired about the contexts and situations in which they are more likely to use them; D) It is to be filled in with different data from participants: age, sex, job, birthplace, level of English, how many years they have been studying it, the geolect spoken in their usual place of residence. Once we collected all the data, we used chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests, together with hierarchical cluster analysis, in order to check what sociodemographic factors have a statistically significant impact on the number of lexical transfers speakers know and the frequency and contexts they are used. - Crystal, David.

The present work uses the Peruvian Young Lives International Study of Childhood Poverty’s School Level data to investigate the effect of the presence of different languages, except Spanish, on the cognitive knowledge of primary school children. It was found that the presence of a specific language, excepto the Spanish language, in primary education reduce at 2.22 points the score on cognitive tests. There is no evidence of this effect from the supply factors. These findings also suggest that education in languages different than Spanish at the primary level, for those children whose parents speak a language different than Spanish, it improves their cognitive results.

La convivencia de la lengua catalana y la española en los centros de Secundaria de Cataluña, tanto en las aulas como fuera de ellas, hace necesaria la reflexión sobre la metodología y los recursos que se usan en las clases para alcanzar la competencia comunicativa en las dos lenguas. En los centros de Secundaria de Cataluña, en la asignatura de Lengua española, el material usado principalmente es el libro de texto, el cual, a pesar de que, después de las últimas reformas educativas, ha introducido diferentes dimensiones comunicativas, tiene como contenido central la gramática trabajada desde una perspectiva estructuralista. El tratamiento integrado de lenguas y el enfoque basado en tareas son los pilares básicos en los que se fundamentan las unidades didácticas que se han experimentado en alumnos desde 2º a 4º de ESO con el objetivo de comprobar si los resultados del aprendizaje con esta metodología son más satisfactorios, tanto en el ámbito académico como en el personal, que los obtenidos con un método más tradicional, como el que predomina en la mayor parte de los libros de texto más usados.
Cohabitation of Catalan and Spanish languages in secondary schools in Catalonia, in the classrooms as well as out of them, requires a reflection on the methodology and resources that are used in the classes in order to achieve communicative competence in both languages. In secondary schools in Catalonia, when teaching the Spanish subject, the most-used material is the textbook. Despite of the introduction of different communicative dimensions due to the last education reforms, said textbook has got as a central content the grammar worked from a structuralist approach. The integrated treatment of languages and the task-based approach are the main bases for the teaching sequences which have been experimented in student groups from second to fourth of ESO (Obligatory Secondary School) with the aim of checking whether the learning results using said methodology are more satisfactory in the academic field as well as in the personal one than those achieved with a more traditional method, such as the one that predominates in the majority of the most-used textbooks.

La tesis está enfocada en términos históricos en la medida en que presenta una historia socio-lingüística, desde un enfoque crítico, de Marruecos como Estado-nación independiente, con todas las transformaciones y cambios sociales y políticos que conoció. Se examina asimismo como dichos cambios pudieron influir en el modelo sociolingüístico y de política lingüística implantados por el estado marroquí para la gestión de la diversidad lingüística y de las prácticas lingüísticas, en general. Este enfoque histórico, considera el objeto del análisis como un proceso social en términos discursivos.
Como fase previa al análisis de los discursos, la tesis ofrece un estudio sobre la complejidad sociolingüística actual de Marruecos y su vinculación con los procesos socio-históricos. En dicho estudio se analiza el estatus social y político de las distintas variedades lingüísticas presentes y las relaciones que se dan entre ellas.
Tras este examen sociolingüístico, la tesis ofrece un profundo análisis crítico a distintos discursos que pertenecen a formaciones discursivas, asociadas a ideologías y reivindicaciones en conflicto. Dicho análisis se centra en la representación de las lenguas e identidades, la diversidad y políticas lingüísticas, además, del valor que se les atribuye a todos estos aspectos en los distintos discursos que circulan en el mercado lingüístico de Marruecos: discurso dominante anterior, nuevo discurso dominante, incluido el legislativo, y el discurso alternativo amazigue.
Por último, este trabajo hace referencia a las consecuencias sociales y políticas en las que deriva la imposición de un orden y una política lingüística por el poder estatal, y a las vías de resolución del conflicto, en relación con el planteamiento elegido. Dichas vías abarcan desde aspectos sociales, tales como la democratización lingüística (que es también social y política). Y el reconocimiento y oficialización de las lenguas que históricamente se han construido como subordinadas y minoritarias (árabe marroquí y amazigue).
The main contribution of this PhD thesis is the analysis of linguistic conflicts taking place in the Moroccan situation of multilingualism. These linguistic conflicts are here related to the colonial past of the country and the social differences found in the Moroccan society nowadays.
The thesis is approached from a historical and critical point of view, to the point that the sociolinguistic history of Morocco, as an independent nation-state, together with all the transformations and socio-political changes known there, are presented. It is also examined the way in which those changes could have had an incidence in the sociolinguistic model and the linguistic policy implemented by the Moroccan state in order to manage the linguistic diversity and its general practices. This historical approach considers social and discursive processes as its object of analysis.
Before analysing discourses, a study about the current sociolinguistic complexity in Morocco and its link to socio-historical processes is offered. Through this study, the socio-political status of every linguistic variety used in the country is analysed, as well as the relationship among all them.
After this sociolinguistic revision, this work presents an in-depth critical analysis of the different discourses coming from socio-discursive groups associated to ideologies and claims in conflict. At this stage, the analysis focuses on the representation of languages and identities, on the one hand, and of the linguistic diversity and policies, on the other. Values ascribed to all these issues are also examined through the different discourses circulating within the Moroccan linguistic market: specifically, the previous dominant, the current dominant -including the legislative one- and an alternative amazigh discourses.
Finally, the thesis contributes to reveal the socio-political consequences derived from the linguistic order and policy imposed by the state supremacy, as well as the solution channels to the conflict. Those channels cover social and political steps, such as a linguistic democratization or the achievement of recognition and official status by the historically dominated and subordinated languages (i.e. Moroccan Arabic and amazigh).

ABSTRACT This work intends to offer a new point of view for the analysis of the information that piano scores can offer to us: the one which it can be obtained using some of the methodological tools that have already proved its utility in the study of communicative processes that we use to carry out through language. The musical score is a device that, as other written natural languages, presents both a doxastic and a conative dimensions: it represents a given status of certain things (the “sound object”). At the same time, as a way of interaction between composer and performer, it offers to the later the necessary directions to compose new tokens of the work-type that it represents. As a response to this purposes, Western culture has created a code which is not unique, but a set of different representation systems in order to graphically express the ultimate elements of the music, the musical sounds and some of their characteristics and relationships. However, as users, we know much more information can be found beyond that what is linked to the signs in a score: some of those signs may contain more information than which was conventionally assigned under certain contextual circumstances. Given that Pragmatic Linguistics is the adequate discipline in order to study the contextual communication processes, we propose the consideration of a Pragmatics of Writing Music which, as far as the piano score is concerned, is what our research is focussed on. Previously, it was necessary to ensure the productivity of this new discipline. The analysis of morphological, syntactic and semantic signs scheme, that we carry out in the second part of this research allowed us to achieve four basic conclusions: (i) the graphic system of representation is highly redundant; (ii) they are cross relations among the signification of several graphics subsystems: some of the semantic features of a given sign sense, belong to more than one named subsystems; (iii) the content field is irredeemably dense: considering the artistic event, even the smallest trait in a musical performance is relevant, and any performance of a musical piece will reveal much more than what the score actually says; (iv) there is, at least at some level, a relationship of non-compliance among both layers: certain significant features will have not correlation with the meaning layer, while many aspects of any effective musical reality will not be related to a signifier that represents them in the score. These key features make possible the fact that in any given text, we can find content entities not listed in the system of representation which, however, arise on the receiver because they are implicitly associated to the same system signifiers. The last part of our research is devoted to the analysis of these implicit meanings using a model based on that of H. P. Grice and his "Theory of conversation". The most relevant contributions we made with this research, at our opinion, are the study of the strategies used to lead a sign code to a new layer of significances, along with the semiological analysis of written music that we used as our starting point.

This thesis describes the design and conduct of a study carried out in a provincial region of southeast Spain, concretely, in the Region of Murcia. The study is the first to propose an exploration of the L2 motivation of Spanish learners of English within this context from the novel angle of the L2 Motivational Self System (L2 MSS) conceptualised by Zoltán Dörnyei (2005) as a more comprehensive and flexible construct than some of the traditional psychological approaches to the study human cognition, attitudes and behaviour in second language learning. Dörnyei bases his model on the construct of possible selves (Markus & Nurius, 1986), from which he conceptualises the Ideal L2 Self and its counterpart the Ought-to L2 Self. Both Self concepts are complemented by the L2 Learning Experience to form the L2 MSS. Empirically, the study provides evidence to support the relevance of the L2 Motivational Self System as a lens through which to explore L2 learner motivation. There is a gap in current research as regards knowledge on cultural variation in L2 self systems (Dörnyei & Ushioda, 2009), which this study addresses as, to date, no L2 MSS studies have been carried out on a Spanish population. We also contribute to empirical research through the adaptation, translation and piloting of a quantitative research instrument to explore a diverse range of motivational variables. Thus, to our knowledge, in our mixed methods (QUAL – QUAN- QUAL) study, we employ the first extended Spanish version of a Motivational Factors Questionnaire (MFQ), (Ryan, 2005, 2008, 2009; Taguchi, Magid & Papi, 2009) aimed at exploring the concepts of the ideal and ought L2 self in Spain. The Spanish MFQ is an adapted and translated version of the original instrument (Ryan, 2005) that has also been extended to include variables employed by Taguchi et al. (2009) to explore the ought self dimension of L2 MSS theory, i.e. an ought self scale measure as well as an instrumentality promotion-prevention dichotomy measure. Among other motivational variables, we also include a psychometric scale to explore the novel orientation of international posture (Yashima, 2000, 2002). We have found, through the data obtained, that the ideal L2 self is a very relevant psychological construct and surpasses the concept of integrativeness as an explanatory framework for L2 learning drives or forces. Nonetheless, our findings have led us to question the difference between a desire to generate a vision and a genuine ability to do so, with the suggestion that L2 competence or self efficacy may underlie the difference between a mental image based on fantasy and imagination, and a plausible, attainable mental projection of a language using self guide. Our findings also lead us to suggest that the level of internalisation of extrinsic motives to learn or continue on a learning path, as well as the strength of attributions to other positive motivational variables, will be determined by perceptions of competence. This leads us to suggest that the link between ideal and ought selves and motivated behaviour may indeed lie in concepts of perceived ability. The qualitative data has brought to light that there may exist a lack of social and institutional involvement regarding language learning resources and support for language learning in Spain. Family support is not evident in this context, and although L2 learning support from educational sources has not been explicitly examined in this study, there are indications that students may not perceive institutional support for linguistic demands they face.

Language is one of the most important characteristics that human beings have. Since we are born, we need to fully communicate; besides sharing information, ideas, thoughts and feelings, we understand reality through its use. Language has a crucial social function which allows gender stereotypes to be kept. If we bear in mind the idea concerning that language and thought need to be considered together, as language being something that must be learnt, and if we consider that gender stereotypes are socially built and can be modified, by changing our language, we can modify the mentioned stereotypes. Co-education would be the key to end up with inequality and gender gap. In Spain, in recent years there has been a strong work on the matter and this doctoral dissertation has used different laws (social and educative) related to the topic. The aim of our research is to identify whether in all those laws we can see a real change regarding gender stereotypes. Due to this fact, this study focuses on the analysis of the presence of those stereotypes related to linguistic uses. In order to perform this survey, we have conducted a research in two schools of the Region of Murcia (one of them co educative) and we have compared them with the results obtained in a study made by López Valero, Madrid and Encabo (2000). As a result, we can conclude that gender stereotypes are still transmitted in the educative system. This doctoral thesis is divided into several chapters. In the first chapter, we have analyzed the relationship between language, sexism and education, as well as the importance of language in socialization process, the main agents and language and thought concepts. In the second chapter, we study the evolution of women education since Middle Ages until the 1970 Spanish law of Education. This consideration is completed in the third chapter with the analysis of recent educational laws in Spain. In chapter four, we give emphasis to gender stereotypes and their conformation process. We proceed with this topic in the fifth chapter analysing the changes of our contemporary society. In chapter six, family and school concepts are deeply studied. In the seventh chapter we project our field work by the actual objectives and the sample. Then, in chapters eight and nine we describe the research tools and the procedure. Subsequently, in chapter ten, we analyse the data while the treatment of this information gathered is made in the eleventh chapter. Eventually, in the last chapter, we find teaching proposals and suggestions. After the conclusions we have included sections on references and additional information.

The main aim of this Ph.D. thesis is to examine a very important communication phenomenon that has taken place among social movements in these last two decades. The 1994 Zapatista revolt in Chiapas was the origin of a social movement that determined Mexican politics and produced a huge impact, both in the Americas and the rest of the world. The conflict between Zapatismo and the Mexican state has usually been presented as a discursive struggle which was conveyed from multiple scenarios and through very diverse channels - street mobilization, the media, polymorphic artistic events, advertising, parliamentary sessions or social networks. Thus, an armed insurgent actor achieved a remarkable legitimacy, paradoxically fostering the democratization of their country. The methodology used is in keeping with Critical Discourse and Communication Studies, with a necessarily multidisciplinary approach, integrating discursive and communication analyses with substantial attention to context. A multimodal approach is thus applied, from both qualitative and semiotic perspectives. This approach incorporates contributions from other social sciences, such as sociology or anthropology, in order to address the semiotic issues that eventually determine the full signification of communicative processes. The consequent discourse analysis applied to a huge variety of journalistic, literary, or parliamentary texts will be combined with the detailed communication analysis of diverse products which were designed with a persuasive purpose. Likewise, the various issues involved in their conveyance, such as design, production, distribution and reception will be studied. These criteria are especially applied to the mobilizing events that acted as framework and determining factors of public debate, notably the March for Indigenous Dignity that took place in 2001, and the Mexican parliamentary debate about indigenous autonomy derived from it. The conclusions indicate that Critical Discourse and Communication Studies must analyze the cultural devices and artifacts that result from any social mobilization process using a critical and committed approach, which is both able to investigate them in depth and to contribute to increasing their influence on the media and to enhance their contribution to the democratic, egalitarian and inclusive transformation of any society. Mexico is nowadays a dysfunctional state due to the impact of organized crime, war, impunity and corruption. This panorama is described by some as necropolitics, whose ultimate responsibility lies with the state and its perpetuation of a great poverty and social inequality, most noteworthy in the indigenous population. The natives suffer an age-old racism, lessened by an alleged hybridity, and fought on an almost foundational basis by Zapatismo in its demand of recognition of indigenous cultures and self-government. As a consequence, the Zapatista movement developed an unprecedented experience of self-government in its territory, building a model for economic, educational, public-health, communication and cultural development. This has brought about a great recognition and legitimacy among other indigenous or peasant movements, both in the Americas and the rest of the world. This influence has been especially noteworthy among the new, new social movements, such as those based on global indignation that, since 2011, play a leading role in technopolitics, defined by its unprecedented use of social networks at the service of mobilization and citizen empowerment. This is a consequence of a Zapatista lesson, that places the building of processes and autonomous media in the center of social movements. This approach is derived from their awareness that social change needs to achieve cultural hegemony, an aim which can only be attained through mass media. These media determine the communicative agenda and democratically change journalism and a new paradigm of social movements as global, inclusive, horizontal and decentralized networks is set.

OBJECTIVES. This PhD. Thesis aims to address a relatively unexplored field of study within the framework of Foreign Languages Teaching, namely Linguistic Mediation and its potential in the field of Education. The main objectives of the work are the following: 1. To systematize all the information we have regarding Linguistic Mediation in order to provide a theoretical, conceptual and methodological framework in a complete and relevant way. 2. To highlight all the characteristics and potentialities of Linguistic Mediation to be set clearly as a real "integrative ability" within the Teaching of foreign languages in general and of Spanish as a Foreign Language (E/LE) more in particular, apart from the training in the field of professional Translation and Interpreting. 3. To show that the expression "Language Mediation" continues to produce confusion when it comes to referring to a particular profession, for academic and professional outlook remains unclear and gloomy. Hence Linguistic Mediation is still far from having an independent position in the field of scientific research. 4. The expression "Linguistic Mediation" has become a catch, where a number of varied concepts and disciplines find their expression. In this scenario, the lack of research and systematic studies on linguistic mediation is the cause why this field of study is far from reaching its scientific maturity within the framework of Applied Linguistics and Teaching of Foreign Languages. 5. To create a corpus of didactic material to be used when Teaching Linguistic Mediation. METHODOLOGY. This study can be classified as a qualitative research, as a descriptive and interpretative analysis of the phenomenon of Linguistic Mediation is carried out, specifically in the Italian context, with some references to the Spanish context. Besides qualitative research, a heuristic approach has been chosen as it allows to shuffle different hypotheses about the concept of Linguistic Mediation and, incidentally, to make a contribution to this field of study. Finally this Doctoral Thesis develops in the framework of a methodology very much in vogue in the educational field, namely the Action- Research. However, it is not a pure Action Research. Our interest lies in studying the practicality and the implementation of Linguistic Mediation in Second Language Teaching and Spanish as a Second language (E/LE) in particular. We opted for labelling this method as "Research into Action". CONCLUSIONS. The boundaries of Linguistic Mediation have been defined and, incidentally, it has been shown that the character of "integrative ability" of Linguistic Mediation is motivated by the synergic and dynamic integration of the four basic language skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing. Linguistic Mediation offers the added value of its versatility and ability to contribute to the holistic development of the necessary language skills for communication and interaction. Furthermore, it has been shown that the expression "Language Mediation" is clearly configured as a large container into which different linguistic concepts and dimensions to be classified tend to deposit themselves.
