This paper offers the basic guidelines of a formalized version of the Lexical Constructional Model (LCM; Ruiz de Mendoza & Mairal Usón, 2008, 2011; Ruiz de Mendoza & Galera, 2014), the Formalized Lexical-Constructional Grammar (FL_CxG), which will pave the way for future computational developments, such as parsers or lexical databases. The FL_CxG deploys (i) the typologically oriented syntactic apparatus of Role and Reference Grammar (Van Valin, 2005; Van Valin & LaPolla, 1997), (ii) the catalogue of constructional units arranged in a 4-layer typology, as proposed by the LCM, and (iii) some insights for semantic representations from the Generative Lexicon Theory (Pustejovsky, 1995; Pustejovsky & Batiukova, 2019), and Minimal English (Goddard, 2018). All the components of the FL_CxG (lexical units and construct(ion)s) are formally encoded as Typed Feature Structures in the format of Attribute Value Matrixes. These units are to be understood as constraints operating in the unification processes which underlie the generation/decoding of a given fragment of language.
本文提供了词汇结构模型（LCM；Ruiz de Mendoza和Mairal Usón，20082011；Ruizs de Mendoza&Galera，2014）的形式化版本，即形式化词汇结构语法（FL_CxG）的基本指南，这将为未来的计算发展铺平道路，如语法分析器或词汇数据库。FL_CxG部署了（i）角色和参考语法的类型导向句法装置（Van Valin，2005；Van Valin&LaPolla，1997），（ii）LCM提出的以4层类型排列的结构单元目录，以及（iii）生成词典理论对语义表示的一些见解（Pustejovsky，1995；Pustejoovsky和Batiukova，2019），和最低英语（Goddard，2018）。FL_CxG的所有组成部分（词汇单元和结构）都以属性值矩阵的格式形式编码为类型化特征结构。这些单元应被理解为在统一过程中操作的约束，统一过程是生成/解码给定语言片段的基础。

En este artículo usamos la Gramática del Papel y la Referencia (Van Valin y LaPolla, 1997; Van Valin, 2005), en especial su representación semántica por medio del aspecto léxico o Aktionsart, y aplicamos este modelo lingüístico a muestras por etapas del corpus PerLA de pacientes españoles con Alzheimer (Pérez Mantero, 2014). Con ella, analizamos la frecuencia y distribución relativa de los verbos de estas muestra mediante estadísticos básicos: media, moda, mediana, varianza, desviación típica, rango intercuartílico y coeficiente de variación. Nuestros resultados señalan un uso sistemático de los estados como Aktionsarten preferente respecto al resto de tipos de verbos, así como la existencia de cierta variabilidad en las actividades y las realizaciones activas y la ausencia de tipos concretos de verbos causativos. Entre las explicaciones que ofrecemos, destacamos que los estados tienen una mayor facilidad de procesamiento cognitivo y los verbos causativos expresan estados de cosas estáticos, desconectados entre sí.

This study investigates lexical production in Spanish as L1 and L2 in an experimental context. Based on a series of lexical availability tasks, words produced by native and non-native speakers of Spanish are contrasted in relation to test modality, oral or written, and response time. The production of native speakers is characterized by being significantly higher and more accurate, while L2 responses reflect lower lexical competence, the influence of L1 and divergent acquisition patterns. Although previous studies had not found significant differences between the number of responses produced orally and in writing, we find that such differences exist, but that they are conditioned by the response time, which affects differently the production in L1 and in L2, although their evolution describes a similar trajectory in both cases. This methodological factor would also cause the neutralization of the qualitative differences between oral and written responses in both groups of participants.

Begoña Clavel-Arroitia, Barry Pennock-Speck
In this article we conduct a meta-analysis (Timulak, 2009) of qualitative studies into computer-mediated, synchronic, oral interactions between language learners from different countries focusing primarily on Intercultural Communicative Competences (ICCs) (Byram, 1997). To find studies that met our criteria, keyword searches were conducted in Google Scholar and in the main CMC journals. To filter the search results, we used AntConc 4.4, and close readings of the studies found. We ascertained that only three met our criteria (O’Dowd, 2006; Akiyama, 2017; Liaw, 2019). Our analysis shows that the ICCs identified in these articles are also found intraculturally. Moreover, when the language competence of the participants is similar, we argue that the communication between NS and NNS is practically indistinguishable from NS-to-NS communication. These results seem to call into question the validity of ICCs. We conclude therefore that language teaching should focus on improving communicative and pragmatic competence in the target language.

Technological tools have complemented face-to-face instructions at university from the beginning of the 21st century. However, COVID-19 pandemic forced many faculty members to switch rapidly, and without any specific training, to an emergency remote teaching. The aim of this paper is to analyse the impressions of Spanish faculty members teaching interpreting in an online mode. A total of 65 faculty members answered a semi-structured online survey, covering the 80.8% of all the Spanish universities where interpreting subjects are taught. The results revealed some pitfalls derived mainly from the lack of physical issues (booth, body language evaluation), absence of human contact, lack of suitable technology, more teaching hours, cognitive load, lack of concentration, and students monitoring. However, the benefits detected were more self-practice, more attendance to sessions, and the preparation of students for a remote interpreting, taking into account that this will be the future of professional language interpreting practice.

This volume in the prestigious Linguistic Insights book series (Peter Lang) fills an acknowledged lacuna in studies considering the tourism research article from a gender perspective. Indeed, the attention paid to the tourism research article (RA) has been, if anything, fragmentary, since, as noted in Lin and Evans (2012), no attempt has been made to fully outline the generic structure of the RA in tourism. This is precisely one of the focuses of interest of this monograph, which aims to provide genre scholars and language professionals with an outline of the genre pattern of the RA and the lexicogrammatical choices associated with each generic section, together with a detailed description of the specific stance-taking devices. This is really the main aim of this book, as its title expressly calls for. Much of the information presented in this monograph, as attributed therein, belongs to a major research project conducted over the years on the language of tourism in English and other languages (cf. Álvarez- Gil, Payet, & Sánchez Hernández, 2020).

El presente estudio analiza el proceso de patrimonialización del antiguo mercado de abastos del Born, ubicado en una de las zonas más antiguas de Barcelona, en el distrito de la Ciutat Vella. Compaginando las metodologías cuantitativas y cualitativas del análisis del discurso mediado y de los estudios del discurso asistidos por corpus, se considera la patrimonialización como acción mediada por objetos materiales que subyacen a los principios de indexicalidad, dialogicidad y selección, planteados por la geosemiótica. La acción mediada se examina como un cruce de prácticas sociales que generan un sentimiento identitario soberanista basado en una memoria colectiva selectiva, naturalizando un relato victimista basado en inexactitudes y tergiversaciones históricas.
本研究分析了位于巴塞罗那最古老地区之一Ciutat Vella区的abastos del Born市场的世袭化过程。本文提出了一种基于地理符号学理论的方法，该理论认为世袭化是一种由物质对象介导的行为，其基础是指标性、对话性和选择性原则。本文分析了一种社会实践的交叉，这种社会实践产生了一种基于选择性集体记忆的主权主义身份感，将基于历史错误和歪曲的受害者故事归化。

Spanish teachers in the USA are responsible for showing students what Spanish looks and sounds like (Ballman, Liskin-Gasparro & Mandell, 2001) and therefore act as role-models for their students in terms of their attitudes towards different varieties of Spanish. They must choose which features from which varieties to teach their students (Burns, 2018). Spanish teachers in the UK found Caribbean Spanish difficult to comprehend (Bárkányi & Fuerte Gutiérrez, 2019) and Spanish teachers in the USA preferred Peninsular Spanish over other varieties (Martínez-Franco, 2019), similar to Spanish teachers in Australia (Ortiz-Jiménez, 2019). The current study investigates (dis)preferences towards different regional varieties of Spanish by 63 primary, secondary and postsecondary teachers of Spanish in the USA. The findings indicate preferences split among four macro-varieties and a dispreference for Caribbean Spanish, highlighting the importance of comprehension and exposure to varieties regardless of prior explicit training on the topic.
