Summary: For approximately fifteen years, there has been a ronovado interest in the idea that the syntax lingüstica is organized in terms of contrucciones grammar, ie in terms of a portfolio of recurring patterns of form and significado.La This thesis tries to justify consistency this vision of the syntax, providing evidence converging from all the sciences cognitivas.El Chapter 1 ( "Introduction") places special emphasis on the place of the notion of building on the actual situation of the lingüstica theoretical and offers insight overall items to be tratarán.El Chapter 2 ( "What's in a Contrución?") develops the philosophical bases of operation: the syntax must necessarily rooted in the phonology and semantics in order to avoid the problem of funfamentación of symbols described by filísofo Stevan Harnad.El Chapter 3 ( "The Lingà ¼ istic Sign Rediscovered") argues, in turn, that the complex syntax is a manifestation of the sign lingà ¼ istico.En this regard cited data lingà ¼ isticos and psicolingà ¼ isticos that make plausible two ideas: ( a) syntax emerges from the lexicon and (b) grammar is sensitive to semantic factors and fonológicos.El Chapter 4 ( "structure in Syntax") addresses the problem that exists around the distinction between regular and irregular syntax; concludes the structures statistics. In light of the results presented in the previous chapters, Chapter 5 ( "Theoretical Repercussions") explores the ideas of modularity and nativismo and asks whether these theoretical positions really are consistent with the results of the psicolingüstica and the neurolingà ¼ istica , and molecular genetics. Finally, in Chapter 6 ( "Conclusions"), provides a summary of the main points of the thesis, and suggest new directions for study.

Summary: Based on the idea that a lingüstica of a scientific nature to be placed in a framework that enables mathematical treatment of the phenomena studied in this thesis are subject to review budgets and epistemological tools formacilización one of the most innovative paradigms in science-Theories of Chaos or the Nonlinear Dynamics of Systems Complejos- with regard to its application to the analysis and description of the ways lingüsticas. In the nine chapters that constitute the thesis presents the bases and models representation of these theories are applied to the creation (morphogenesis) and use (dynamic) forms phonetic, lexical, syntagmatic, syntactic and textual, as well as its temporal evolution, and draws the appropriate conclusions. Unlike the scientific paradigms that have preceded the epistemological basis of the theories of Chaos involves, first, recognition of the complexity, and thus the behavior chaotic, nonlinear, non suejo laws fixed systems and forms of both natural and human creation. The complexity and chaotic behavior of these systems is given by the dependecia that such systems in its emergency and becoming, presented with regard to the conditions imposed by environment or context that is always targeted and subjected to continuous fluctuation, given the variety of values that can present the parameters that define the environment. The main theoretical focus chaotic part because of the uniqueness of the forms involved, its irreversibility, diversity and sensitivity to initial conditions that occur in the creation and development. Considering the role played by the context and the individual characteristics inrreductibles presenting how it is the fundamental paradigm chaotic inputs, which allow better than any other model conceptual approach to the behavior of non-regulated forms lingüsticas, emerging on a more or less random to be eventually stabilized by convention or repeated use, in a process of unstable equilibrium in which randomness and live a more or less systematic and that this paradigm is called deterministic chaos. The formal instruments derived from new paradigm based on the topology and on the balance of probabilities, facilitate, on the other hand, representation and a rough prediction of creating forms and the actual use that speakers make them, surpassing largely the difficulties that the Lingüstica has been facing while used models of type or algebraic logic, which desetiman the stochastic nature of the forms and phenomena which are its object of study.

Summary: The theories of textual János S. Petà ¶ you have had a great influence on the development of lingüstica and dela semiotics of the text, particularly in areas europeo.Sin, however so far there was an in-depth study of its various theoretical models about the interpretation textual.Esta thesis aims bridging this gap in the historiography lingüstica, presenting the evolution of their proposals since the first analytical work until his last court structuralist theory, Textología Semiótica.En this tour, described his theory co-textual text, which aims to build a a model for generating sequences sentence based on the theoretical foundations of generative grammar in their design of the mid-sixties, as well as their contributions to the research project "Textlinguistik" dedicated to the study of texts narrativos.En this path we have given special his attention to the theory of structure of the text and structure of the World, undoubtedly the best known of his proposals and that has had the greatest impact in the field of lingüstica Spanish, where scholars like Thomas Albaladejo and Francisco Chico Rico propuesieron various extensions and connections with the classical rhetoric tration. The most important contribution of our work and sl to submitting its latest model, Textología Semiotics, virtually unknown to study Spanish, which Petà ¶ fi expands its object of study to include texts multimediales.Hemos seen fit to offer an introduction alos main problems facing the study of multimedia communication, in order to assess its just measure the contributions of Petà ¶ fi, especially his notion of text as complex sígnico, their typology of situations and its model interpretativo.Como an example of the potential for application of this theory, we have analyzed eight text as complex sígnico, their typology of situations and its model interpretativo.Como example of the potential for application of this theory, we have analyzed eight texts (five and three non-literary literary) with the methodology textológico-semiótica underlining its explanatory power of the global organization, hierarchical and linear, such textos.Por Finally, the thesis contains a chapter devoted to the applications of Textología Semiotics didactic, it intends to introduce reflection lingüstica in the classroom from the manipulation of literary texts.

Summary: This thesis explores the temporal properties of individual predicates in sentences with copulativas attribute adjective at three levels: internal, external appearance and tiempo.Las main conclusions of the analysis are as follows. 1) Compared to the commonly assumed, preaching individual is not tantamount to retaining ownership, as shown by the possibility of marking time these predicates. 2) As regards the domestic side, there are two types of predicates individual: predicates estativos and dynamic predicates ( "activities" according to the ratings classic internal aspect.) He proposed that the conduct activities correspond with those adjectives that have the possibility of taking a supplement preposicional.Específicamente, he argued that the dynamic properties lie inthe content aspectual contributing the preposition introducer complement. 4) The copulativas of individual may appear in any form aspectual. 5) The interpretation of temporal predicates of individual stems, as in the case of any other predicate, the contents of which Time Interval orders with respect to a reference interval (the interval Topic). Unlike earlier proposals under which Time takes the argument and ordered nominal predicates of the individual, this analysis provides a temporary capture the different interpretations without producing sobregeneralizaciones inaccurate.

Summary: In this thesis we proposed to analyze loans and calques Greeks have arisen as a result of the translation of the Gospels of the old Greek Slav, as attested appears in the four manuscripts that preserve the stadium more archaic the old Slavic: Zographensis, Marianus , Assemanianusy Liber Savvae. To do this, we have focused on one part of speech: nouns and adjectives posesivos.Asimismo we hemosceñido three semantic fields "Sustanciasnaturales", "Plants" and "Artifacts." In estaforma, podemosestablecer comparacionesentre the greater or lesser propensity cadacampoa introduce foreign elements, and between the more or less influence they could have exercised the translation of the Gospels in each one of them. Moreover, the study of the lexicon of estalengua agrupadoen campossemánticos can provide evidence very interesantessobre culture and society from the primitive eslavos.Siguiendo with the methodology, first we have sought all quotations from the Greek terms, as well as those of terms Slavs that translate, in order to establish correlation between them. When several words Slavic reproduce a single Greek word, we have tried to detect shades of meaning between them by studying the word in context of appearance. Thus, we have proposed establishing structural oppositions between words, based on their shades of meaning. Moreover, we have also considered the alternatives between the Greek text and edited manuscripts Slavs, and within these interrelated. In the case of variants exist Slavic we investigated whether they could reflect some variation Greek. Finally, we proceeded to quantify the number of terms heritage eslaves, old loans, loans and recent calques of Greek in all its varieties, specifying their distribution among the various subfields. Loans nominate former realities unknown to the Slavs, which would have come into contact through other peoples and cultures. In contrast, loans and recent calques of Greek express elements belonging to the Palestine sI AD, the Slavs have discovered as a result of the translation of the Gospels. Therefore, its highest proportion indicate what subfields would have had more impact that translation.

Summary: This study proposes a unified analysis of the meaning of the subjunctive mood. The hypothesis is put forward that is based on the Theory of Relevancy (RC) from Sperber and Wilson, which develops a model of cognitive and inferential verbal communication. The communication is conceived, in this context, as a process of recognition and expression of intent process that incorporates both information transmitted using expressions lingÃísticascomo by recognizing the very communicative intention of the speaker, in addition to the knowledge the context discursive and extralingüstico.En the RC stressed also the papelfundamentalde the inferenciaen the functioning of human communication, as they are inferential processes by which operates on the information obtained through the meaning of the prayers, and the relates to the information already known, and which is accessed via the contextual knowledge with the aim of identifying the most important: creating the largest cognitive effects for the recipient with regard to efforts in the interpretive process. The subjunctive mood, both for the variety of sentence constructions where it is used in Spanish, for the purpose of creating diversity in the interpretation of the prayers, is analyzed within this framework as a unit that significantly affects the processes inferential . It is proposed that the subjunctive creates different effects through the meaning of type procedural coding: it is a kind of meaning as opposed to the concept, and that encodes information that directs the recipient of a speech in the process of interpreting the wording inferential . The hypothesis proposed in this thesis is that the subjunctive that encodes the proposition that appears in is a manifestation of interpretive use, ie a metarepresentación propositional. The subjunctive mark, therefore, that the proposal represents, under a similar relationship, another propositional representation, either a proposition that the speaker mentally classified as a possible eventuality, whether a proposition accessible in the context discursive or communicative. This would explain why the subjunctive is selected by predicates implying that their arguments proposicionales represent possible contingencies (such as predicates volitivos and influence), as predicates introducing environments presuposicionales (eg valorativos or factivo-emotivos). One of the most original aspects of what is proposed in this paper is the attempt to link the hypothesis about the meaning of the subjunctive with categories which meet significant roles in other languages. Specifically, it is concluded that these categories include personal pronouns logofóricos used in contexts where sentence is reproduced thought, the words or the viewpoint of another individual other than the speaker, in languages such as Icelandic and Japanese, among others. The similarity which owns the communicative function of these pronouns with the subjunctive mood in Spanish is that the two categories make the proposition that they occur as a meta-representación interpretative, ie as a proposition which represents turn to another proposition. We are studying a range of uses of the subjunctive, which plays a role of attributing the propositional content of a point of view other than the speaker at the time of issuing the statement, in which its role is tantamount to a certain extent to which they meet the pronouns logofóricos . Moreover, it is proposed that the particles evidenciales, morphemes that in some languages mark the source to which the speaker attributed the content of a proposition, also have certain properties in common with the communicative function of the subjunctive. This thesis represents, therefore, an innovative analysis of the meaning of the subjunctive mood and 8 of the 343 functions of communication that can play. The study was framed in a context of pragmatic inferential, suggesting that the way that communicates information is integrated into the process of identifying the inferential propositional attitude of the speaker about the proposition, being able to affect the process in different ways depending on the properties semantics of expressions present in the environment prayer.

Summary: The sense of irony verbal traditionally has been described as an investment or as a semantic content implicíto or derivative. However, it is rather a distinctive property that opposes a type of enenciación (the "ironic statement") to a neutral statement of the same material lingüstico. The irony, in particular, a pattern: manifests an attitude of the announcer ( "Modus") to his enunciation ( "dictum"). A discursive mode, whose marks are not in nature lingüstica ( "codified"), but indicative. The ironic speech is to present the enunciation so claiming an interpretation ironic (and not "neutral"). The irony is a sense, not meaning. No unit lingüstica is ironic in itself, but only combined with a relevant context. This context is normally a estuctura argumentative (explicit or implicit) for greater breadth and strength that the intrinsic to the formulation ironic, which semantically enta in conflict with it, but nevertheless just so conventionally simulated. The value argumentative context opposed to the wording represents the true position of discursive and argumentative announcer, who thanks to its obviousness and firmness can be expressed ironically (ie contradiciéndose) without actually contravened.

Summary: One of the key skills that provides language speakers is to locate and characterize a particular situation in relation to time. In this sense, time and the appearance is unquestionably one of the most complex phenomena and interesting language, creating for lingà ¼ ista an important field of research. However, the existence of such a huge diversity of ways to describe and classify categories under these concepts has resulted in a disturbing lack of consideration to a number of fundamental issues of terminology. This thesis discusses some methodological problems in terms of weather analysis and appearance in the English language by presenting a number of proposals. It offers an alternative, or at least a supplement to the existing studies in this field emphasized the significant role of adverbiales in terms of the expression and / or influence on the look and time. To this end, it conducts empirical approach, which examines a number of corpora through a qualitative and quantitative analysis, ie both the specific characteristics and the frequency of the phenomenon in question will be of great importance to this work . Regarding the theoretical principles underlying this investigation, this thesis is based mainly on a functionalist approach of language and more specifically is based on the Role of Grammar and Reference (Van Valin and LaPolla 1997), but because both the appearance and the time are issues on which any theory lingüstica should deal in depth but few have achieved, this work also is supported by other models grammatical and / or authors with the aim of providing an analysis of the topic as exhaustive as possible.

Summary: The thesis deals with the relationship that is established between the grammatical categories, and more specifically between names and adjectives. It is proposed, following the framework of the Distributed Morphology, which receive their parts lexical category in grammatical syntax, and not in the lexicon. Topics covered include the conversion of an adjective to name, adjectives relational, aposiciones, the nature of the dividing line between compounds and phrases, the behavior of prefixes with syntagmatic scope and the existence of morphological local domains.

Summary: Work is conducting a study on the renewal of the lexical semantics of the current Spanish metonimia. It expounds on the systematization of tropo from his description as a process lingüstico, and proposes a model for monitoring performance of the metonimia on a corpus lexicográfico. The thesis is divided into four parts. First, it has an introduction which sets out the objectives and methodology of work, as well as the theoretical foundations related to the change lingüstico behind it. In the second part, is conducting a study lingüstico of metonimia, built by the condition contigà ¼ ity semántico-referencial in an environment syntagmatic infra-discursivo which is the framework for action of the procedure. With regard to the process of labeling slant implies that the procedure, we deal in this part of tropos and other figures metonímicos, as sinécdoque, metalepsis, hipálage. In the third part, delimitamos parameters observation of the metonimia in a dictionary, acotando rates lexicográficos for identification in the Spanish Dictionary of Current Manuel Seco, Olympia Andrew and Gabino Ramos, which is our body of study. This third party is essential to the creation of the database which is the fourth and final part of the thesis: LexAMET (acronym for Lexicography Update on Metonimia), which has a collection of Spanish words with one or more meanings metonímicas drawn from a sample of 21,000 words of our body. This database accesses the overall result of our work: the establishment of the renewal of lexical semantics of the Spanish metonimia, and the generation of a pattern of systematic monitoring of the performance of the procedure.

Summary: This thesis falls within the scope of the Theory of Optimidad in phonology. Part of the idea that this theoretical model is essentially universal, which is a setback to explain specific patterns of specific languages. The thesis explores the extent to which it is possible to perform analysis of complex phenomena fonológicos maximizing the ingredient universal and deepened in the boundaries between acceptable and unacceptable uses of specific restrictions. This raises analysis of the mechanisms for allocating primary emphasis in English, as well as the fonotaxis this language. It discusses previous proposals and it is suggested that specific component of grammar should be codified in the form of restrictions paradigmatic establish relations between superficial (OO). It also operacionaliza the relationship between regular and irregular forms through what is called a Register Superficial. The paper concludes that it is possible to make satisfactory descriptions fonológicos complex patterns within the Theory of Optimidad, as long as it avoids a specific use of restrictions dialing.

Summary: The objective of this thesis is to develop the concept of "lexical unit" that has been forming in the lingüstica corpus since the end of the nineties. This concept establishes a distinction between speech and the so-called "lexical item." The first three chapters are devoted to the review of concepts that have been instrumental in the various traditions of lexicology and phraseology. The thesis questioned the adequacy of the definitions of idiomaticidad, placement, monosemia and lexical unit. Following this review, the following three chapters propose an alternative model for delimitacióny classification of lexical units, as well as for analyzing the structure of the vocabulary. Specifically, proposed four principles that govern the structure and articulation of the units and lexical relations. The last chapter is a reflection on the relationship between the structure of the lexicon and theories about the nature of meaning.

Summary: This work is an exercise in grammar and narrative description of the object is the construction of modern genitive in English, namely the structure (NP'S + N) and its possible variations. The novelty of it lies not only in studying the history of this building, but mostly in the statement of the problem areas that it presents, both in its morphology and syntax and, especially, in its semantics. These aspects are implemented and studied from the perspective of lingüstica corpus. The corpus that support this research are the Brown and Lobtag, both of English writing.

Summary: This dissertation approaching inference grammatical theory and studies of language acquisition, towards a final goal: aundar in their understanding of how children learn their first language by exploiting the theory of inferential formal grammars. Our 3 main contributions are: 1-Introduction of a new class of languages called "Simple p-dimensional external context (SEC)." Although the grammatical inference investigations have focused on language or regular independent of context, we propose to focus our thesis studies classes language more relevant from the viewpoint lingüstico (language families who occupy a position in the orthogonal Chomsky hierarchy and are gently Depending on the context, for example, SEC. 2 - Presentation of a new paradigm based learning "Questions correction." One of the main positive results in the theory of formal learning is the fact that deterministic finite automata (DFA) can learn efficiently using relevant questions and questions of equivalence. Bearing in mind that learning languages early error correction can play an important role in our doctoral thesis, we have introduced a new learning model that replaces the questions relevant questions for correction. 3 - Presentation of results based on the 2 inputs prior. Firstly, we demonstrate that the SEC can be learned from positive data. Secondly, we show that the DFA can be learned from corrections and the number of questions is considerably reduced. The results obtained with this dissertation represent an important contribution to studies in grammatical inference (so far research in this field had focused mainly in the areas of mathematical models). addition, these results could be extended to various fields of application enjoying full today, such as automatic learning, robotics, natural language processing and bioinformatics.

Summary: This dissertation is a thesis on the quantifiers Nominal Basque. The proposal is developed it shows that the Theory of quantizers Generalizados is correct and has capacity to account for the quantification in natural languages, contrary to analysis that have put this theory into question. To argue that the theory of quantizers Generalizados is indeed correct it is proposed that the domain cuantificacional should always be restricted in the Basque language as such restriction will be carried out in the syntax explicit medinate article. This leads us to discuss the article in the Basque language in a certain way: this element always perform the function of determining defined and have the capacity to change the type of semantics through the so-called 'type sifting' (exchange rate semantic), which gives an account of the different interpretations of Basque article can be obtained.

Summary: This thesis presents the results of an experiment in which 260 participants bilingà ¼ is Basque / Spanish produce interrogativas Que- long distance of English (see: Wat do I think he saw?). The results show that some of the participants produce interrogativas that diverge native pattern we have classified into two groups. On the one hand not adults patterns that are unique to the interrogativas Qu-: interrogativas showing investment sujeto-auxiliar in the subordinate clause, the production elements' extra 'like' is', 'to' and 'the' and productions subject invalid, subject post-verbales and duplication of subjects in the subordinate clause. On the other side are the divergent patterns associated with the movement Qu-: What kind of interrogativas â | wh-, structure Backup Qu-, interrogativas with pronoun resumptivo and calls' Left-branch extractions. After analyzing each type of structure is not the adult author concludes that some of them are the result of the transfer of grammatical options that are in the native languages of the participants, while others come directly from the options offered by Universal Grammar. Within these structures are in the second group, as they are absent from the native languages of our participants, the Basque and Spanish as the language learning object and tmabién part of the process of adqusición native in different languages, as English.
