Summary: The unit del.Ayante is still a matter under discussion. Seeking to clarify this point, we approach the work through an analysis scenes, linking form and content. Note symmetry and composition ring at the same time. Moreover, in response to the number of verses, reveals mathematical relationships between different scenes, parts of the tragedy and all the work. It seems that Sophocles has taken the prologue as a baseline drive in three scenes, 133 vs. .- and content, creating a kind of bridge construction, which is a Fibonacci series: prologue, párodo and first eScena of the first episode are a aba first structure, in which the ends have the same number of verses and the center about half. A bridge biggest surge to unite + b, leaving the end of the first bridge as a center (a ') and see that the second scene of the first episode closes with this new bridge almost the same number. Verses that a + b. This happens again and again until the end of the work. It was then seen that the structure of Ayante responds to a form ASA tripartite move, which follows the golden ratio. The death of actor márca point. The structure provided the Ayante (golden section) is a mirror of the content of the drama: the happy ending, harmonic, of the book arrives by the restraint of Ulysses, the hero is changing: from enemy to friend (central theme of the tragedy, development of II. Vil, 299-302). The influence of Heraclitus is felt both in the content (= shift rotation, the importance of character, the union of opposites) and the way (the use of proportion in the syntax of the philosopher).

Summary: This study aims to contribute to better understanding not only of historical syntax of the Spanish language, but also for its own peculiarities of the Spanish Basque bajomedieval the area, to that end, has studied the expression of conditional content in a body composed of attorney documentation of Biscay, dated as a whole between 1330 and 1500. Thus, a number of objectives that have been sought to carry out this work: on the one hand, it has tried to provide unpublished data on the evolution of the conditional sentence in the late Middle Ages, on the other hand, it has also sought aportar nuevas noticias para la descripción del romance vizcaíno, lo que se justifica por la escasez de estudios que se centran en esta variedad, y por las peculiaridades que actualmente se dan en la zona vasca en esta estructura sintáctica. As a result of the analysis, it has arrived at different conclusions: first, the body expresses a situation where a conditional sentence that serves as a transition between what has been described for centuries XIII and XIV and the state of things to be discovered in the sixteenth century both in terms of conditional schemes as more specific processes such as the replacement of the future subjunctive, on the other hand, finds an increase in the complexity of the conditional expression in the fifteenth century, which is reflected in a increase paulatinode formulas notarial value conditional. Finally, the romance of Biscay, in the specific case of the conditional sentence, shows a total coincidence with what constitutes Spanish at the time, which promotes the idea of the actual nature of the Spanish variety of documentation vizcaína.

It is structured into three domains. 1) The first part is an introduction to the morfofonología contemporary. We studied the characteristics that define the phenomena morfofonológicos, problems of the framework over other types of alomorfia and the factors that determine its history. 2) The second part is a history of morfofonología as a theoretical discipline. This chapter examines the treatment of critically descriptive and / or explanatory different currents lingüsticas have made the alternations morfofonológicas over history. Also proposed is a model explanatory cutting cognitive developed primarily from the budgets of the natural theory, the organization model of morphological and lexical Bybee, the model analogue Skousen and some research psicolingüsticas. 3) The third part is a study of the history of the two major alternations morfofonológicas heritage of Spanish, the alternations / jé / / e / and / wé / / / (eg. Think-think, sky-blue, can I-can, nine-ninth) and the alternation caused by palatalización and sounds of / k / Latino (eg. do-do, nut-walnut).

Summary: This dissertation is framed in the field of Finnish Textual Criticism and can be described as the critical edition of romance known as Story Gamelyn, a poem of 902 verses matched, written in English Late East towards the end of the second half century XIV. This poem appears only in manuscripts of stories of Canterbury, one of the masterpieces of English writer Geoffrey Chaucer. The thesis begins with some general considerations on the count in connection with the Canterbury Tales (Section 1.1). In contin7uación are those manuscripts that appears in the romance and tradition textual discussion of the works of Chaucer. In this section (Section 1.2) discusses the major theories which attempt to explain both variations in the grouping of different stories as autoriales variants found in the different families of manuscripts. This section concludes with an analysis of the different pieces that make up the Canterbury Tales and classification of the manuscripts that contain the works, according to the order of elements in five groups: a, b, c, d and abnormal groups. Los veinticinco manuscripts wherever it appears Story Gamelyn belong to any of the last three groups. The second chapter contains editing Gamelyn itself. In the first section (Section 2.1) discusses the pros and cons of the previous editions of Storytelling and concludes that none is sufficiently complete and, in many cases, a desire to prove that the book does not belong to Geoffrey Chaucer has led publishers to treat even with contempt, darkening the editorial work done. As stated in Section 2.1.1, editions of Gamelyn belonging to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries appear as part of the editions of the Canterbury Tales, whereas those that belong to the twentieth century are part of collections at English romances East or stories or related proscribed ballads on the figure of Robin Hood. In sections 2.1.2 and 2.1.3 explains the reasons that have led to the selection of the manuscript Corpus Christi College Oxford MS 198 as a basic text of the new edition of Gamelyn and offered additional arguments for the election of manuscripts Christ Church, Fitzwilliam, Harley 7334, Hatton, Lansdowne, Lichfield, Cambridge Mn. 2.5, Petworth and Royal 18 C. II to be collated with the manuscript basis. The main reasons for choosing these ten manuscripts are basically a combination of three axes: the first time, ie, the closer is a volume to the era in which he lived his author, often more faithful to the text offers the second has to do with the care with which the manuscripts were made and finally, the third one refers to the affiliation between them verbatim, so that the different families of manuscripts have a representative at the collation end, preferably its member more representative, oldest and most carefully. Section 2.2 provides a synoptic edition of counting, that is, the joint submission of all diplomatic editions (transcript as faithfully as possible to facsimile) of all the selected manuscripts. Attached are the guidelines followed at the time of the transcripts. Presents also all special characters, the reader will find in the texts, and belonging to the source Canterbury, designed by Dr. Peter Robinson to be used by members of the Canterbury Tales Project (Project in which collaborate to carry out an edition multitexto of Gamelyn CD-ROM). It also includes other specifics about the foliation and alignment of manuscripts, alterations escríbales identified and comments made in the body of the transcript on glosses, decoys, etc.. In Section 2.2.3 are attached diplomatic transcripts of the ten selected manuscripts, preceded by a brief codicológico comment on the general state of each type of lighting presenting information about 8 the conv 1008 enciones writing the time (including the use of different abbreviations) and the specific characteristics of each type responsible for the manuscript in question (for example, the type of symbol used for personal pronouns of the first person, regularity in his writing, the use of ink, etc..). Example taken from each of the manuscripts illustrate each comment, so that readers can see for himself what it is showing. Section 2.3 provides the reader the critical edition of the count. It begins with a brief summary of the plot of romance. The history of Gamelyn is the story of a betrayal of fraternity. After the death of his father, the elder brother of Gamelyn, Sir John, exploiting his young age, seizes their possessions and treated as one of his servants. At serving time, it reveals and gives an early indication of their skill and fierceness struggling, but he deceived his brother again and just tied hand and foot. The only servant who accepts help is despensero. Moreover, who will be his faithful companion to the end of the poem. Gamelyn, pretending to be still tied, asks clemency for priors and pollack invited to a feast at the home of Sir John, but they tell you that deserve to die. Gamelyn decides to punish them for their sins (ironically said it will absolverlos) and then attacking them and the evil Sir John, both he and Adam are persecuted by the Governor and were forced to flee into the forest. There are a group of outlaws who receive them amicably and bind to them. Gamelyn is proclaimed king while his evil brother, become governor, he declared outlawed. The young Gamelyn presented in the courtroom to proclaim his innocence and was arrested. His second brother, gracious Sir Ote, he learns that has been imprisoned and calls to be his guarantor can be released until such time as they hold their view. Gamelyn returns to the woods and stay there until one day falls on the account that must return to stand trial if he does not want that Sir Ote suffer the punishment. When it comes it is almost too late; his good brother has been sentenced to the gallows (the usual punishment for banned), because Sir John had previously bribed the jury to take revenge. Gamelyn and his men rescued Sir Ote and judge the wicked Sir John, the judge and jury of twelve members corrupt. At the end all of them were hanged, while Gamelyn, Adam, Sir Ote and outlaws in the forest are forgiven and rewarded by the King. Gamelyn marries a woman honored and both live happily until the end of his days. Then, Section 2.3.1.2 addresses the internal and external aspects of the most important poem. Among the domestic aspects include commentary on language (similes and metaphors used repetition in order to draw the attention of the audience, and the irony present throughout the book) and his rhyme (romance is written in matched and introduced off vestiges of the system alterativo of Old English, especially in stages frequent style of boote bale, and patterns mostly two strong accents in the first hemistiquio and two in the second). With respect to the external aspects, the story was dating at the time of Chaucer, is ascribed to ascribe to the dialect of the East Midlands and treated passages and similar expressions used in other literary pre - and post-Canterbury Tales, including The Simonie, various English epic romances, ballads of Robin Hood, Rosalynde Thomas Lodge or Ace you like Shakespeare.

Summary: This paper aims to describe in terms of phonetic and morphological the dorio used in Sicily since the beginning dela epigráfica documentation until the end of the Hellenistic period. Therefore, it represents an upgrade work dela U. Sicca Grammar delle iscrizoni doriche della Sicily (Arpino, 1924), which has been delayed not only by the progress of lingüstica Greek in the twentieth century, but also by increasing the documentation Greek Sicily. It aims to be useful not only for those who are engaged in dialectology Greek and lingüstica Indo-European, but also for those epigrafistas or historians who are unfamiliar with the Greek dialects. The grammar has certain differences with respect to the Sicca. First, while focusing on phonetic and morphology, are also covered certain facts affecting the syntax (thus the use of the article, the relative ---, the reflexive pronoun or numerals), or the formation of besides words, unlike in the grammar of Sicca, here are treated different alphabets of the island. Instead, this book does not provide an equivalent of its "dizionarietto", which explained terms exclusively in Sicily witnessed or documented with a special meaning, because this function is fulfilled today Supplement dictionary of Lides & Soco and Dictionary Griego-Español. Finally, the conclusions are reflected in the general characteristics dialect centuries VII-Vy IV-I, as well as those in which there is a contrast between the different cities, in order to determine whether there was a convergence lingüstica in Greek Sicily and if there are differences intradialectales. Also included is an analysis of the presence of koiné in the inscriptions and addresses the issue of the so-called loiná.

Summary: Sacrobosco in Spanish is an interdisciplinary work that since the diacronía examines De Sphaera Mundi, the manual astronomy in Latin composed by Johannes de Sacrobosco in the thirteenth century, and their translations into Spanish of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This thesis provides a critical edition of the versions in Spanish and a study of the text from several areas of knowledge: the history of astronomy, history of translation and the history of scientific language. Drawing on the first testimony of De Sphaera Mundi printed in Latin in 1472, has bounded the time frame in which to place the work in the next hundred years, until 1571. This time coincides also with the period in which they are occurring and setting, at fonético-fonológico, changes that would lead to the birth of the Spanish "modern". Within the time frame indicated, are five testimony in Spanish, three manuscripts and two forms, which have been transcribed: between manuscripts, a copy made in 1487 by Diego Torres, who was Professor of Astrology at the University of Salamanca; 1493 Teacher of Veas composed his version, the final manuscript is an anonymous text from the end of the fifteenth century, preserved in the Library Christopher Columbus in Seville, among the forms, that of 1545 by Jeroen Chaves, who was Head of the Chair of Art Navigation and Cosmografía of the House Recruitment Seville, and the last, 1568, by Rodrigo Saenz Santayana. The work begins with the study of knowledge of astronomy content in the text, because it is impossible to make the "history of the words" unless you know the "history of things. If you are not familiar with the matter, in this case, astronomy cutting geocentrista, it will be very difficult to reach an understanding of the concepts they represent the voices of specialty. He then discusses versions in Spanish, taking into account factors both internal and external to respond to a series of questions about how they conducted the work translator during treaty: How translates Â? Â Who leads? Â Why and for whom results? The ultimate goal of the study is to conduct a glossary of historical kind that collects all the terms related to astronomy in the testimony in Spanish and examine the contribution of translators to the birth and consolidation of a new branch of the Spanish language, specific for the expression the astronomy. Overall, this thesis shows the flow of ideas raised by Sacrobosco and evolution of the Spanish language as a vehicle of transmission of such knowledge. This is intended to contribute to the analysis of a simple man but he had a wide distribution and importance in the teaching of astronomy since the Middle Ages in Latin and Spanish, which was beginning to gain importance as a language capable of conveying scientific thinking, it also aims to contribute to the study of the formation processes of terms of astronomy and cosmology at the birth of this scientific language.

Summary: Get keep alive two cultures as different as Spanish-speaking and English-speaking and become bilingual in American society that often imposes a monolingüísmo in English, is to comply with a major challenge. The Chicano population of the United States, and especially the writer Sandra Cisneros, have succeeded in carrying out this split personality and linguistic entities for, without losing their cultural peculiarities of Mexican origin, Aztec and Spanish, become authentic bilingual citizens working , think and express in English, but not Spanish or leaving through the English they use, often called for this reason Chicano English or Creole, or in other environments in which they operate often when the use of Spanish is becoming a branch of political power, social and cultural development. How do they do it? By applying a number of strategies language, socio-cultural and psychological described in this thesis work and discover how, through some very adverse circumstances in most cases, it may be able to get a high degree of bilingüísmo both oral language as in writing. After a first besides theoretical study on the acquisition early bilingüísmo, this research focuses on the latest novel by Sandra Cisneros, Caramelo. Following the finding of the points outlined above, it provides a new vision of how they can exploit bilingualism from a standpoint of literary creativity. The study of sociocultural aspects and emotional as decisive factors for the establishment of a good degree of bilingüísmo and their application in Chicano literature is now essential. The investigation in this regard has only just begun.
