Summary: Within the historical context of the armed conflict in Colombia, is monitored Colombian newspapers, El Tiempo and El Colombiano, in order to watch how this conflict represent discursively (aspects lexical, syntactic and semantic). We take into account four genres newspaper: news, editorials, features and opinions. We show that within the sphere of political discourse, there is a cammpo discourse on violence, and within this, a domain of discourse specialized (legal) about the same, depending on the context discursive. We propose the bridge lexical unit (ULPt) as a strategy of lexical variation to solve problems of interpretation of texts that are in contexts different discursive (CD). Finally, from the notion of lexical unit bridge that we have created, use as a strategy to enable lexical variation of the proper interpretation of the concept of "exchange", the issue discursión between Colombia (FARC) guerrillas and the Colombian government.

Summary: Under the titúlo CONTRIBUTION TO THE STUDY OF PROBLEMS AND PRACTICAL TEORICOS OF LEXICOGRAFÍA BILINGÃE: For dictionaries bilingà ¼ is español-lenguas Amerindian and español-lenguas African "attempts to acknowledge that they are dictionaries bilingà ¼ is another distinto.Sin embargo developing this class of tools lexicografícas always faces a serioe of difficulties, ranging from the nature of their own languages involved in the process of translation (source language and target language) to the ignorance of techniques lexicografícas by lexicografo, ie lack adequacy lexicographical between practice and the recommendations of centered around theoretical (metalexicografos). Indeed, we believe that the lexicographer who lacks centered around theoretical knowledge can not carry out their work with éxito.Por also good command of both languages appears as a requirement practices without which it would be impossible to establish a system of equivalent translation is one of the pitfalls to overcome it. Based on the analysis of the works involved in our work, we noticed some shortcomings related to the problem of managing the brought techniques lexicografícas (léxicos materials management, system equivalence unreliable, etc.). Despite the untranslatability attributable to the different cultures and languages among different, we believe that a good analysis constristivo the structure semantica and formal languages contact could reveal nuances and similarities and thus, the theory and dictionary bilingà ¼. should take into account the fact that the equivalents are not just lingà ¼ isticos (semantic and cultural). We subscribe to the theory that one has to turn to the adaptation if fanta exact equivalence between the substance of the words of the source language and the words of the language meta.O is the theory of desverbalización is best suited for the passage of a language belonging to non-European cultural circles. Either way, there are projects that encourage standardization of those languages to be translated from the Spanish and foster the development of tools that facilitate the passage lexicográficas of L1 to L2.

Summary: The main objective of this dissertation is to propose an approach to the lexical creativity in the framework of a model based on the use morphological, functional and cognitive (Langacker 1988, 1991; Bybee 1988.2001), orientation and methodology empirista (Geeraerts 1997 ; Geeraerts, Grondelaers and Bakema 1994). This approach takes a starting point as against that of competing models for the morphology generative, because, rather than assume the autonomy of jurisdiction over the action, part of the interaction between these two dimensions of language. The thesis also intends to integrate the theoretical framework of cognitive two inputs in the lingüstica Europe's inspiration structuralist theory on the relationship paradigmatic of the tongue (Van Marle 1985) and research on the statistical analysis of productivity in body text ( Baayen 1993, 1997; there and Baayen 2002, etc..). The lexical creativity is studied here from two complementary strands: from the point of view lexicon (neología or lexical creativity in the strict sense) and from the point of view morphological (productivity of the processes of formation of words). The basis of empirical research data are obtained neología and productivity of a body text of the press in Catalan more than nine million hits. Specifically, have been analyzed prefjioides (radius, the euro, economic ..), prefixed forms (macro, micro ..) and prefixes that etymologically designated "on" or "below" (over, super, sub - sots- ..). After an initial introductory chapter, in the first part of the thesis is a critical review of the alignment of the morphology generative neología (chapter 2) and productivity morphological (Chapter 3). In the second part, a proposed alternative theory in the framework of a model based on usage. It made its first explicit theoretical and methodological (Chapter 4). In the following chapters, symmetrical those of the first part, is developing an approach to creativity lexical (Chapter 5) and productivity (Chapter 6) in a model based on usage. The author raises two central questions. The first question is whether there is a correlation between the use of neologism and the cognitive representation of the morphological structure of the lexicon. The second, if there is an interrelationship between the productivity of a pattern morphological (defined as prominence or ease of activation for the formation of neologism) and the use of words formed with this pattern. On the first issue, defending the assumption that creativity is lexical, while demonstration and structuring element of the morphological structure of the lexicon. This structure consists of two lines of paradigmatic relations that exist simultaneously in the lexicon: the relationship between words with common affixes (categories derivacionales) and the relationship between words with the same root (word families). Regarding the second question, provides statistical data for the hypothesis that the productivity of morphological patterns depends on the frequency of activating common affixes with the words that are related paradigmáticamente in the morphological structure of the lexicon. Specifically, two factors are discussed in productivity: the setting (determined primarily by the frequency activation patterns) and motivation (which expresses the strength of the relationship between the paradigmatic words with common affixes). In addition, apply and statistically compare the various methods proposed in the recent literature to measure productivity (type frequency, type frequency without the words Frequently, hápaxs, ..) and proposes a method based on comparison of textual body.

Summary: This dissertation is mainly aimed at establishing the groundwork for a detection system conceptual from specialized texts. To achieve this goal, the thesis presents a definition detects i apply different markers lingüsticos verbal to isolate fragments containing units of expertise, vehinculadas through words, and conceptual relationships between these terms. This will be achieved recover fragments of expertise from the knots of their knowledge and relationships within the scope texts of the human genome. One of the major contributions of this thesis is the application of a conceptual typology of relationships validated empirically based ce texts specialized in the creation and feeding of an ontology on the human genome. It revises the treatment of conceptual relationships in five major ontologies applicable in respect of the representation and retrieval of information and applies conceptual typology of a ontology itself on the human genome. Finally, and always geared to meet the overall objective of this work s research is the detection semiautomatic conceptual relationships, the author of the paper proposes strategies syntactic and semantic allowing refine the maximum detection of these key elements in organizing the onformación combining conceptual strategies sintáctico-semánticas with a detector and an extractor terminology which together enable regain expertise contained in the texts and feed, likewise, the information contained in ontology

Summary: The argument presented here is intended to find what is the most appropriate process that will allow the proper preservation of digital document to ensure respect for their authenticity and integrity, access to them for generations to come. Collect suggestions, tips and strategies properly applied to the preservation of digital documents, provides a panoramic picture of the components and characteristics of digital objects and change that, by its tremendous growth in the documentary field, have experienced the maintenance : from the traditional work of restoration, to the current guidance, which has also increased concern about the proposed conversion of document analótico to digital. This approach involves multiple views however, indole various scenarios and issues summarized below: * First mean a paradigm shift in the concept of conservation documentary, this activity is not new, nor is exclusively linked to the environment electronic information. But it is true that when it comes to preserving digital information relates takes a redefinition of key concepts and tasks, along with an effort in the installation of a new librarian role in the management of information. In this respect new questions arise Do you know the cast of preservation techniques exist?, Â operate on what each of them, Â what is the rationale? Do you keep what and why worry about doing that? , Â How is it possible to manage the preservation of digital documents, "Do you like working with these documents and what specific skills must be learned by information professionals? * Secondly, the problem of standardization. As digital technology advances it worry about technological obsolescence and those mechanisms standardization that will be required to make this information accessible to stay. The lack of standardization solid and universal respect as well as the versatility of formats are undeniable obstacles to comply with the proper preservation of such documents. * On the other hand the dilemma of future access and retrieval of digital information requires us to atratar the issue of the digital divide and the fact that there are no differences between those who have enough knowledge and technology to preserve their cultural heritage from those who not have them. Finally discusses the variety of assumptions concerning allegations different models that provide both in terms of preservation techniques exist (museums technological renewal of the stand, migration, replication, hybrid system, and printing on paper) as its practical application in the proposed conversion of paper documents electronically.

Summary: This thesis aims to address how documentation centers are perceived by the Local, how they are organized and what role it plays. I opted for studying the metropolitan area of Lisbon, as the most developed country in the information sector (and the tertiary sector, in general). Procuré a reflection on the evolution of the role carried out by these services, and raise some proposals (for example, the creation of an inter-bibliographic database) to improve coordination between them, so as to allow increased functionality and visibility. This proposal is not born from nothing. There are already databases bibiliográficas, accessible via the Internet or Intranet. With this work I do not intend to add anything new to the concept of bibliographic database. The objective is to produce a reflection on the same universe of documentation centers, because I think that they have not played a role commensurate with its potential. Which services can be provided, and how can better capitalize on the investments made, are issues on which I occupied. One way be residual this thesis concludes by proposing a way alterantiva that Local consider its policies in the field of information and assume a different position with regard to strategic development. The study focuses heavily on the questionnaire method, which has 65 questions, divided into 6 chapters: institutional identification, characterization of space, operation of the service, caracterizacón of personal data on the documentation activities and prospects. 94% of the questions are closed, in order to facilitate the processing of data. The questionnaires received a percentage achieved in the table in study of the universe, the order of 74%.

Summary: This thesis is an exploration of the analysis of the evolution of the method lingüstico employee in grammars Jesuit in the socio-cultural context, from the Renaissance Humanism (XVI century) until the Enlightenment (S. XVIII). The main reason for our research focuses on the grammars of the Society of Jesus is because his educational work found the teaching of Latin during the period cited. In our study we demonstrate the interrelationship between education gramaticas and a whole range of factors surrounding, as well as the formation of a Jesuit proper method, which we call the Baroque method. Therefore, we have proposed a detailed analysis of the teaching of Latin Jesuit around all those aspects that allowed his application factor lingüstico, historical, political, aesthetic, territorial and religious. According to these constraints have set a storyline that has been there from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, in which we can see clearly the formation of a method lingüstico and teaching himself to the Society of Jesus. One method that not only received the influence of historical landscape in which it developed, but that helped shape the society in which it was applied. One of the main objectives of education gramtical Jesuit was to educate future generations in order that interiorizaran and disseminate the code of ethics contrarreformista and Jesuit. Ultimately, we are committed to show that there was a method of teaching at the Jesuit Latino and that this approach was aimed at establishing a system according to the mentality of the Society of Jesus.

Summary: This dissertation is on the teaching of English to speakers / vorienses various indigenous languages. It has four parts. In part, this is the distinction with their languages and the languages, languages and dialects. This part allows us to see what is spoken in Cóte d'Ivoire. We also know that the diulá, beté, senufó and añí-baulé are languages and dialects that have local talk. Likewise, the Latin has turned to the French, Portuguese ... Yel Spanish in his time were their dialects and languages today are independent. This part can learn how factors such as age, sex, social status, occupation and so on. They can influence the transformation and change of language. It also shows that nearly all countries are bilingà ¼ because it is less common is that they speak a single language in a given territory. Cate d'Ivoire is a French-speaking country as it appears in the second part of the thesis. In this part, we deal with the specific language of the Francophone world and politics lingüstica in the area. This allows us to highlight the problem of writing the African languages in general and the ivorienses in particular. In addition we classification of all languages ivorienses. The third part is the core of the argument because it is from there that really starts the contrast between languages diulá, beté, senufó, añí-baulé and Spanish. But before making the contrast we really know what is meant I lingüstica contrastive and contrastive analysis. As a result we laid the groundwork. For a genuine error analysis as it appears in the quarter. In the fourth and final part, we analyze the mistakes that our body has really committed. We see that there are errors transfer (influence of the foreign language on the maternal) and interference (influence of the mother tongue on foreign). This part allows us to find out the possible mistakes of the third party actually committed.

Summary: The doctoral thesis on the study and definition of a model for the implementation of the documentary techniques to the discipline of Architectural Restoration. Based on an analysis of the discipline of architectural restoration, explores their different theories and current deficiencies in terms of models for research (source documents and classification of documents) required to carry out interventions in architectural restoration. At the same documentary techniques available, the documentation as science instruments, concepts of documentary sources and document their classifications, and the practical application of these concepts in architectural restoration. Finally, it raises the design of a model application, with a systematic and some contents defined documentary for the treatment of all stages of an architectural restoration. To check the validity and adapatabilidad of this model is a practical application in the Comprehensive Plan Facade Restoration of Historical Center in the city of Cartagena, noting the advantages brought about by the implementation of the model. A proposal for normalization of this model and the presentation of the final conclusions complete the research work that is presented.

Summary: The aim of the dissertation is the result of new parameters in determining the quality of the abstract documentary. Previously, defines short documentary, reviewing the literature on the quality of the abstract, as well as the national standards (UNE 50-103-90) and international (ISO 214: 1976, ANSI / NISO Z39.14- 1997) related. Here, we studied a series of 60 abstracts from six databases Internet differentiated by sector specialist (education and agriculture) and distribution by language (Spanish, English and Italian). The summaries were first analyzed taking into account the context in which they appear, the policy of databases, and some formal aspects, such as average length, typographic presentation and structure, in a second phase, the analysis is done from the point with regard to potential users of the summaries. For this purpose were conducted 62 interviews, in 6 universities, in which interviewees (professors, researchers, graduate and career) highlighted positive and negative aspects of the object of study summaries, l also provide data on their demands information , and the intended purpose to which the abstract. Following the data obtained from the interviews, some summaries were compared with the original document the respective title, or descriptors that accompany them in the database. The results of the analysis are discussed according to the documentary and lingüstica relevant literature. The conclusions reached highlights some shortcomings in the existing literature on the short documentary, as well as necesidd to update certain points of the rules. In the final recommendations are proposed: a) possible new criteria for determining the quality of the abstract, b) some suggestions on the services of abstracts for the improvement of their work; c) potential new research topics.

Summary: This research raises the formulation of a comprehensive model for managing documents for the High Court of the State of Mexico. The daily generation of documents generated by this institution increases exponentially product of the activity decisions of judges and magistrates, which constitutes the main factor of overcrowding and loss of historically valuable documents. In light of the foregoing, it is proposed in this research methodology to develop a theoretical model for comprehensive management of documents consistent with the requirements demanded by the institution, because until now has lacked an archival system that governs control of their documents. The dissertation consists of three sections which include ten chapters in total. The first part presents the theoretical framework and institutional research. It discusses the principles that fan support to the formulation of our model. It includes three chapters: 1. The archival integrated. Review models; 2. Information systems and archival systems in the administration of justice and, 3. The Tribunal Superior de Justicia del Estado de Mexico: structure and function. In the second part, and in a single chapter, establishes the diagnosis of the current situation and outlook of documentation and archives of the High Court of the State of Mexico, field study, which aims to know the follow-on the documentation makes it generates and receives the institution, as well as the situation in their files. Finally, the third part presents the formulation of comprehensive management model. Including the rest of the chapters relate to the presentation of the general characteristics of the model, the submission of the initial elements, the elements of the process and, of the final elements. It also discusses a method for evaluation of the system through the so-called audit of the information. Finally, it sets out the findings, literature and annexes that underpin the development of this investigation.

Summary: The main aim of the thesis is to find an interface between the visual language exemplified by the table Guernica by Picasso and verbal language exemplified in poems inspired by the table. It looks first elements of the perception of an object visually, it is considered among the equation sign lingà ¼ istico and sign painting ($ Kress Van Leeuwen, Thibault, Zunzunegui). They provide the parameters to be followed in the analysis of visual text, which are contained and depth, vectors, perspective, and topical theme, color, light, gaze direction, texture and the social and historical context. We used the tools of functional grammar (Halliday 2004) and the coincidence with the school of gestalt. The use of the two grammars provided important clues to the discovery of parameters perceptúales which facilitated the recognition of the existence of a visual language in the écfrasis poetic. One chapter is devoted to the historical events that led to the creation of the table and analysis of the works seen from the point of mythological and symbolic. The text on the analysis of poems inspired by Guernica Eluard, Alberti, Valente, Celso Emilio Ferreiro Atencia and takes into account the components of meaning as a starting point for creating visual and verbal. Each piece has a particular focus, but there are common features in the visual perception of the world and of the words used for a description that is enriched by the lexical choice and stylistic.

Summary: The work investigates the effects of simultaneous manipulation of time planning and the degree of displacement in the time and space production of oral narrative in the L2. First, the paper analyzes the similarities and differences between the Speaking in the L1 and L2, and analyzes the processes of attention and memory. Secondly, defines concepts and complex cognitive task. Thirdly, is a review of the available units for the design of programs for teaching language. Fourthly, is reviewed literature relating specifically to the variables of planning and + /-here and now, and presents four scenarios of the study. The first hypothesis states that provide planning time positively affect the fluidity and the structural complexity of the production of the speakers, without having a significant effect on the lexical complexity or correction. The second hypothesis argues that the increasing complexity of cognitive tasks forcing the narration in there and then will have a positive impact by the lexical and structural complexity and correction, but few negative fluency. The third scenario foresees a major impact on planning time production in the more complex cognitive tasks. The fourth scenario suggests that the impact of the increasing complexity of cognitive output will be larger when there has been time for planning. Methodologically, using a repeated measures design to obtain oral narratives of 48 subjects of an intermediate level of English, and establishing 4 levels of cognitive complexity combining the two variables and each student narrates each story under each of the conditions. Measures include two measures of fluency, three measures of the lexical complexity, one of the structural measures and four of the correction. The subjective perception of the cognitive complexity by students is controlled through a questionnaire that measured variable emotional difficulty, stress, confidence, motivation and interest relating to each terea, and validated by analyzing protocol. The results of the repeated measures ANOVA tests show that provide planning time has a positive impact on the fluidity and complexity lexical. The increasing complexity cognitive through the variable + /-here and now has a positive impact on the correctness lingà ¼ istico without significant effects or for structural or lexical complexity, and negative effects on fluency. There are different significant impact of planning tasks in the here and now are increased under planning conditions without reaching significant levels. Additional results show that the more complex tasks cognitively are perceived as more difficult, stressful and generate lower levels of trust without affecting the perception of interest or motivation. The results are explained in the light of theories production of L1 and L2, as well as in terms of models that defieren in his conception of how attention works during production. It is argued that the dimensions of complexity lingà ¼ isticas and correction can be served simultaneously as long as the tasks are simple level planning and complex cognitive level of complexity (in there and then). Finally, it argues that the complexity of cognitive tasks in a construct empirically testable and useful for the design and sequencing of the tasks in an education program. The complexity of cognitive tasks for the design and sequencing of the tasks in an education program. The complexity of the cognitive tasks can be manipulated to obtain specific effects on the production and potentially learning.
