This paper analyses the effectiveness of neural machine translation when applied to literary translation and, more specifically, to the translation of collocations, one of the most difficult aspects in machine translation ( Corpas-Pastor 2015 ; Shraiden and Mahadin 2015 ). Literary translation continues to constitute one of the biggest challenges f...
This study explores the scope and limitations of integrating audio description in the Spanish as a Foreign Language classroom, focusing on the use of pronominal verbs, one of the most controversial topics in Spanish grammar (Mendikoetxea, 1999).

D uring the last decades of the 20th century, audiovisual products began to be audio described in order to make them accessible to blind and visually impaired people (Benecke, 2004). This means that visual information is orally described in the gaps between dialogues. In order to meet the wishes of the so-called On Demand (OD) generation that wants...
In this paper the methodological steps taken in the conception of a new mobile application (app) are introduced. This app, called VISP (Videos for Speaking), is easily accessible and manageable, and is aimed at helping students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to improve their idiomaticity in their oral production. In order to do so, the app...

Audio description has proven to be beneficial in foreign language learning (Moreno & Vermeulen, 2013, 2014). Taking a step further, we developed a mobile assisted language learning application called VISP (VIdeos for SPeaking), which uses the techniques of audio description to promote accuracy and fluency in oral production. In this work we present...
The field of MALL (Mobile Assisted Language Learning) is in its golden era. Nowadays, there are more than 80,000 apps on the market, around 30,000 of which are devoted to language learning, especially English. Most of them have been developed outside the academic world. [Calle-Martínez et al., 13] and [Martín Monje et al., 14] suggest that, althoug...

Audio description is a culture-based translating activity of inter-semiotic nature that consists in turning the visual content of an event into language, while sometimes offering additional information on cultural references for audiences who do not share the background of the source text (Orero and Warton 2007, Braga Riera 2008). In cinema, televi...

This is a semantic study of causative movement verbs that have been organized into two main groups consisting of similar and contrasting features. This analysis contradicts Van Valin & LaPolla (1997) and other authors working within the Role and Reference Grammar theoretical framework such as Jolly (1991, 1993), who defends the view that causative...

This paper analyses the semantic components and the grammatical behaviour of a specific type of verbs of induced motion: those that contain the semantic feature (+active). Besides, the locational expressions they take are investigated, and a direct relationship is established between these and the verbs in question. In fact, a close examination of...
