Presentation of the Catalan Journal of Linguistics 23: Semantic Change in Grammaticalization.

This book showcases the pedagogical potential of theoretical linguistics in remaking encounters with the workings of language in pre-university classrooms. Theoretical linguistics reorients the pursuit of linguistic understanding by moving beyond instrumental skills acquisition towards intellectual discovery. It offers an untapped medium for promot...

This volume approaches the interaction of evidentiality with some other related categories, such as modality and mirativity, from an innovative angle: its connection to informational configuration. The aim of this book is to analyze the impact of shared knowledge on TAME categories as well as to explore its reflection on different verb choices. It...

This volume, which can be considered as a follow-up publication to Pusch & Wesch (2003), contains ten studies on verbal periphrases in a wide array of Romance languages, both in a synchronic and in a historic perspective. Thus, this collective volume addresses the Romance verbal periphrastic system as a whole. The aim of the contributions is twofol...

Hem observat que les construccions fer/donar + substantiu psicològic en català antic i medieval tenen una distribució diferent a la que es dóna en català actual. Concretament, actualment s’hi observa una predilecció per l’ús del verb fer, tria que contrasta amb altres llengües, com ara el castellà: fer por vs. dar miedo. Tanmateix, en la llengua an...

The corpus PARLARS aims to document the colloquial not interfered Catalan (Beltran / Segura, 2017) before it disappears, owing to both the pressure of standard and especially linguistic contact with Spanish (Segura, 2003). It also wants to offer researchers adequate materials to develop studies of description and analysis of the linguistic variatio...

Presentation of the volume.

This article intends to present a brief study on the semasiologic extension of the Catalan verb «venir» —«to come»— in the old and mediaeval language, in contrast to the verb «anar» —to go. It is maintained here that the verb to come in the old language had a more extense meaning than in the current language, fundamentally in relation to the contex...

In this brief study we will carefully analyze the uses of arribar and aplegar in mediaeval language from Curial e Güelfa. Our goal is to discover when and up to which extent both verbs, arribar and aplegar, share their meaning during the first half of the 15th century, in order to shed light on the current situation of Valencian. At the same time,...

Presentació del monogràfic.

The semantic structure that the verb «arribar» currently presents in Catalan is the fruit of the complex history of semantic changes that have provoked the category's expansion from the basic core. In this work we pretend to follow the diachronic ways of these semantic changes from the theory of prototypes effects (Geeraerts. 1997:22). As a result,...

Este proyecto retoma el desarrollo de un analizador morfológico de catalán antiguo públicamente accesible por Internet, el primero de su tipo. Pretendemos que este analizador se convierta en una herramienta útil para el tratamiento morfológico de corpus de catalán antiguo con fines didácticos y de investigación; además, será el primer módulo de un...

Ens interessa ací donar coneixença d'una estructura documentada tan sols fins al XV en català: a+verb+venir> amb el sentit 'assabentar-se algú d'alguna cosa'. Aquesta construcció és paral·lela a d'altres ja estudiades per Díez (1876) i Bastardas (1978) i per Martines (1999), documentades ja en llatí vulgar i comunes a les llengües romàniques. Són c...

Este artículo describe interNOSTRUM, un sistema de traducción automática (TA) castellano-catalán actualmente en desarrollo que alcanza una gran velocidad mediante el uso de tecnología de estados finitos (lo que permite su integracion en navegadores de internet) y obtiene una precisión razonable utilizando una estrategia de transferencia morfológica...

Morphological analyzers and generators are essential parts of many natural-language processing systems such as machine translation systems; they may be efficiently implemented as finite-state transducers. This paper describes a compiler that converts a morphological dictionary (a dictionary augmented with descriptions of the flexive paradigms) into...

This paper describes interNOSTRUM, a Spanish Catalan machine translation system currently under development that achieves great speed through the use of finite- state technologies (so that it may be integrated with internet browsing) and a reasonable accuracy using an advanced morphological transfer strategy (to produce fast translation drafts read...
