The present article describes a didactic proposal based on the use of an audiovisual translation and accessibility mode as a pedagogical tool: subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing (SDH). When students create SDH for a pre-selected clip within a well-structured task, they are enhancing integrated skills, especially in the form of written production (of the subtitles), listening comprehension (of the original), and lexical creativity (through the condensation of the original message in the form of subtitles and the description of paralinguistic elements). A project undertaken with online students to assess the potential benefits of SDH has acted as a preliminary study to back up the didactic proposal presented herein. The main data gathered from this experience offers a reference for future practice and research in this field, since it confirms previous assumptions on the validity of subtitling as a pedagogical tool to improve foreign language learning skills.
本文介绍了一种基于使用视听翻译和无障碍模式作为教学工具的教学建议:聋人和重听人字幕(SDH)。当学生在一个结构良好的任务中为预先选择的片段创建SDH时,他们正在提高综合技能,特别是在书面制作(字幕)、听力理解(原文)和词汇创造力(通过字幕形式将原文信息浓缩和副语言元素的描述)方面。与在线学生一起进行的评估SDH潜在益处的项目已作为支持本文提出的教学建议的初步研究。从这一经验中收集到的主要数据为今后这一领域的实践和研究提供了参考,因为它证实了之前关于字幕作为提高外语学习技能的教学工具的有效性的假设。

“They don’t have a name for what he is”: The strategic de-characterization of Hannibal Lecter “他们没有一个名字来描述他是什么”:汉尼拔·莱克特的战略性特征

This essay challenges the myth of Hannibal Lecter, in Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs, as an enigmatic and unclassifiable character. Lecter’s enigma is generated through a largely unexplored process of de-characterization, i.e. by recurrently presenting him through the speech of other characters who describe him as unknowable. After considering Lecter’s case against the background of well-known literary unknowabilities, a deductive phenomenological exploration of Lecter’s de-characterization is carried out with the assistance of tools from the disciplines of personality and social psychology, and supported by empirical evidence from those fields. The demystifying of Lecter’s unreadability does not entail a debasement of the film or the character. On the contrary, Lecter’s de-characterization, albeit a form of narrative manipulation, is viewed as responsible for much of the film’s impact and success. It produces sensitivity-boosting effects; it mediates the indirect characterization of the other characters; and it engages the spectators’ self-image thus contributing importantly to the enjoyment and appreciation of the film.
这篇文章挑战了戴米的《沉默的羔羊》中汉尼拔·莱克特作为一个神秘而无法分类的人物的神话。莱克特的谜是通过一个很大程度上未被探索的去特征化过程产生的,即通过其他角色将他描述为不可知的话语来反复呈现他。在将莱克特的案例放在众所周知的文学不可知的背景下,借助人格和社会心理学学科的工具,并以这些领域的经验证据为支持,对莱克特的去塑造进行演绎现象学探索。揭开莱克特难以读懂的神秘面纱并不意味着贬低这部电影或这个角色。相反,莱克特的去刻画,虽然是一种叙事手法,但被认为是这部电影的影响和成功的主要原因。它能产生提高灵敏度的效果;它调解了其他人物的间接塑造;它还能吸引观众的自我形象,从而对电影的欣赏和欣赏做出重要贡献。

The digital age has facilitated the creation of fluid, open stories that are subject to change as they unfold across different media platforms, each contributing to the story as a whole. Transmedia storytelling is also linked to transhumanism, a philosophy based on the idea that human limitations can be overcome through reason, science and technology to finally free us from the limitations of our bodies and minds. The concept of the literary has changed because the concept of the human has also evolved, as technology has been used to enhance both human capacities and storytelling through active participation, group work, and collective intelligence. This double enhancement that transmedia and transhuman storytelling entail is explored in this article through a textual and paratextual analysis of Serial, the world’s most popular podcast, which can help us redefine the present blurring of disciplinary boundaries and the new territory of the literary.
数字时代促进了流畅、开放的故事的创作,这些故事在不同的媒体平台上展开时可能会发生变化,每一个媒体平台都对整个故事做出了贡献。跨媒体讲故事也与超人类主义有关,超人类主义是一种哲学,其基础是人类的局限性可以通过理性、科学和技术来克服,最终将我们从身体和思想的局限中解放出来。文学的概念发生了变化,因为人类的概念也发生了变化,因为技术已被用于通过积极参与、小组工作和集体智慧来提高人类的能力和讲故事的能力。本文通过对世界上最受欢迎的播客《Serial》的文本和准文本分析,探讨了跨媒体和超人类叙事所带来的双重增强,这可以帮助我们重新定义目前学科界限的模糊和文学的新领域。

Pablo Ruano San Segundo
This article analyzes the alleged Dickensian echo of the highly-acclaimed HBO TV series The Wire. Charles Dickens is probably the literary author to whom the series has most frequently been likened. This correspondence is scrutinized here, as it seems to have been built upon impressionistic references, rather than on methodical intertextual analyses of both the series and the Victorian author. The analysis is intended to throw new light on the Dickensian ambience of The Wire, which seems to be different than previous critical appreciations of the series have suggested.
这篇文章分析了备受好评的HBO电视剧《火线》中所谓的狄更斯式的呼应。查尔斯·狄更斯可能是最常被拿来与这个系列作比较的文学作家。这些信件在这里被仔细审查,因为它似乎是建立在印象派的参考之上,而不是对这个系列和维多利亚时代的作者进行系统的互文分析。这一分析旨在对《火线》的狄更斯式氛围进行新的解读,这种氛围似乎与之前对该系列的评论所暗示的不同。

The work at hand is part of a wider study the aim of which was to determine what kind of factors influence pragmatic failure in an online adaptive placement test taken by Spanish students in their first year at university. A preceding analysis (Carrió and Martín, 2016) showed the type of personal factors that caused the exam takers pragmatic failure according to their own perception. In this paper, we go deeper and search about what specific pragmatic categories the items more frequently failed in the test belong to, so that we can reach some conclusions about its content validity and state whether the pragmatics construct is underrepresented or not in this test.
手头的工作是一项更广泛的研究的一部分,该研究的目的是确定哪种因素影响西班牙学生在大学一年级的在线适应性分班测试中的语用失败。前面的分析(Carrió和Martín, 2016)显示了考生根据自己的认知导致语用失败的个人因素类型。本文通过对测试中失败次数最多的项目具体属于哪些语用范畴进行深入研究,从而得出其内容效度的结论,并说明该测试中的语用构式是否存在代表性不足的问题。

This study aims at exploring the degree of Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) towards the learning of English that English for Specific Purposes students report experiencing. The participants in this study were 67 undergraduates at the University of the Balearic Islands enrolled in two university degree programs. The Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) (Horwitz et al., 1986) was used to collect data. The findings reveal that most students suffered from average to high anxiety levels. Communication apprehension was found to be the main source of participants’ FLA followed by fear of negative evaluation and test anxiety. The data also showed statistically significant differences across students’ university degree programs related to test anxiety and fear of negative evaluation. No statistically significant gender differences in FLA levels were observed. Finally, correlation analyses revealed significant negative associations between participants’ self-perceived English proficiency and their FLA levels associated with listening and speaking skills.
本研究旨在探讨特殊用途英语学生在英语学习中所经历的外语焦虑程度。这项研究的参与者是巴利阿里群岛大学的67名本科生,他们参加了两个大学学位课程。采用Horwitz et al. 1986的外语课堂焦虑量表(Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale, FLCAS)收集数据。调查结果显示,大多数学生的焦虑程度从中等到高度不等。交流恐惧是参与者FLA的主要来源,其次是对负面评价的恐惧和考试焦虑。数据还显示,在大学学位课程中,学生在考试焦虑和对负面评价的恐惧方面存在统计学上的显著差异。性别间FLA水平差异无统计学意义。最后,相关分析显示,参与者自我感知的英语熟练程度与其听力和口语技能相关的FLA水平之间存在显著的负相关。

Although critical attention has focused on Ariel, Sylvia Plath’s earlier poems are also worth examining since they reveal significant details concerning the writer’s evolution towards that final achievement. After getting married in June 1956, Plath and Hughes travelled to Spain and settled in Benidorm for their honeymoon. It is the poems derived from that period and Plath’s response to the alien setting that are analyzed in this paper. The corpus of “Spanish poems” and its most salient motifs will be identified and examined to assess the emotional and artistic response of Plath’s encounter with Spain in her work. A rhetorical analysis of these poems will be carried out but biographical data from Plath’s journals, correspondence and prose will also be considered. Finally, two later poems will be examined to demonstrate that Spain left its imprint in Plath’s mind, supplying suggestive imagery which turned the Spanish landscape into a violent mindscape.
尽管批评的注意力集中在阿里尔身上,西尔维亚·普拉斯早期的诗歌也值得研究,因为它们揭示了作家走向最终成就的重要细节。1956年6月结婚后,普拉斯和休斯前往西班牙,并在贝尼多姆定居度蜜月。本文主要分析这一时期的诗歌以及普拉斯对异域环境的回应。“西班牙诗歌”的语料库及其最突出的母题将被识别和检查,以评估普拉斯在她的作品中遇到西班牙的情感和艺术反应。我们将对这些诗歌进行修辞分析,但也将考虑普拉斯的日记、信件和散文中的传记数据。最后,我们将考察普拉斯后来的两首诗,以证明西班牙在普拉斯的脑海中留下了印记,提供了暗示性的意象,将西班牙的风景变成了一个暴力的心灵景观。

Task-based language teaching research has expanded substantially in foreign language (FL) contexts but most research studies have been carried out with young adults in university settings, despite the fact that FL programs for children are on the increase worldwide. However, there is a clear lack of research-based evidence of what children actually do while performing tasks, which is crucial in order to make decisions about appropriate educational provision, to inform policy makers, and to maximize children's learning opportunities. This paper focuses on current research on children in task-supported programs both in mainstream English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) contexts. It reviews studies carried out within interactional and sociocultural frameworks and shows how children successfully negotiate to make language meaningful, how they engage with the tasks and how they collaborate in different ways during task performance. Challenges and future research directions will be highlighted.
尽管面向儿童的外语教学项目在世界范围内呈增长趋势,但任务型语言教学研究已经在外语语境中得到了极大的扩展,但大多数研究都是针对大学环境中的年轻人进行的。然而,关于儿童在执行任务时实际做了什么,显然缺乏基于研究的证据,这对于决定适当的教育提供、告知政策制定者和最大限度地提高儿童的学习机会至关重要。本文重点介绍了当前在主流英语作为外语(EFL)和内容与语言综合学习(CLIL)背景下任务支持计划中儿童的研究情况。它回顾了在互动和社会文化框架内进行的研究,并展示了儿童如何成功地通过谈判使语言变得有意义,他们如何参与任务以及他们在任务执行过程中如何以不同的方式合作。重点介绍了未来的研究方向和面临的挑战。

This study explores voice from an APPRAISAL theory perspective. It aims to investigate how published research writers deploy ATTITUDE and GRADUATION resources to review existing literature in the field. The study is based on a corpus of literature reviews (LRs) from 204 research articles (RAs) in computer networks and communications (CNC) and second language writing (SLW). Findings show that 1) writers demonstrate a strong preference to express their attitude through APPRECIATION rather than AFFECT and JUDGEMENT resources; 2) more FORCE than FOCUS resources are used to upgrade attitudinal meanings realized through ATTITUDE resources or to evoke APPRECIATION; and 3) one-way ANOVA and post hoc tests have detected significant differences in the use of AFFECT and JUDGEMENT resources and in two sub-categories of FORCE and FOCUS resources. The study contributes to new knowledge by relating ATTITUDE and GRADUATION resources to the construction of voice in the disciplines of CNC and SLW.
本研究从评价理论的角度探讨声音。它旨在调查已发表的研究作者如何利用ATTITUDE和GRADUATION资源来审查该领域的现有文献。该研究基于204篇计算机网络与通信(CNC)和第二语言写作(SLW)研究论文的文献综述(LRs)语料库。研究发现:1)作者更倾向于通过“欣赏”而不是“影响”和“判断”来表达自己的态度;2)相对于焦点资源,力量资源更多地用于提升通过态度资源实现的态度意义或唤起赞赏;3)单因素方差分析和事后检验发现,在使用AFFECT和JUDGEMENT资源以及FORCE和FOCUS资源两个子类别方面存在显著差异。本研究将态度和毕业资源与CNC和SLW学科的语音建设联系起来,有助于新认识。

This article examines seventeen children poems by Sylvia Plath written in the years 1960-63, in relation to the poetics of romantic love. Drawing on motherhood studies (Klein, 1975; O’Reilly, 2010; Rich, 1976; Winnicott, 1956, 1965, 1967), the maternal shift in psychoanalysis (see Bueskens, 2014: 3-6), and attachment theory (Bowlby, 1950, 1969, 1988), it reads love as a continuous human disposition, informed by one’s attachment history, and realized at different stages of one’s life (Hazan & Shaver, 1987). It specifically refers to Daniel Stern’s and Anthony Giddens’s largely overlapping concepts of maternal and romantic love to argue that Plath’s children poems are significantly infused with a poetics of romantic love. This poetics, however, becomes gradually compromised by a poetics of ambivalence, withdrawal, and self-effacement.
本文考察了西尔维娅·普拉斯在1960- 1963年间创作的17首儿童诗,并将其与浪漫爱情的诗学联系起来。借鉴母性研究(克莱因,1975;O ' reilly, 2010;富,1976;Winnicott, 1956, 1965, 1967),精神分析中的母亲转变(见Bueskens, 2014: 3-6),以及依恋理论(Bowlby, 1950, 1969, 1988),它将爱解读为一种持续的人类性格,由一个人的依恋历史所决定,并在一个人的生命的不同阶段实现(Hazan & Shaver, 1987)。特别提到丹尼尔·斯特恩和安东尼·吉登斯在母性和浪漫爱情的概念上有很大的重叠,认为普拉斯的儿童诗显著地注入了浪漫爱情的诗学。然而,这种诗学逐渐被一种矛盾、退缩和自我淡化的诗学所妥协。
