This paper has two objectives: to analyse the mode of quantification of the prefixes, and to explain why only indefinite prefixes and universal ones can be degree modifiers. These prefixes can quantify the number of entities the base expresses (multitarea 'multi-task'), the argument of the base (multiadicción 'multi-addiction'), or the number of times a reality or condition takes place (bicampeón 'bi-champion'). Furthermore, indefinite prefixes and universal ones constitute scales, understood as gradable series with opposite poles, which makes them to function as degree modifiers (pluripoblado 'pluri-populated, very populated', omniconocido 'omni-known, well-known'). On the contrary, numeral prefixes establish ranks or non-gradable and unbounded series, a fact that disqualifies them as degree modifiers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El caballero de Erlaiz is one of the novels by Pío Baroja that have been most neglected. Written after his return from exile in Paris during the Spanish war, it contains an embarrassing incursion in the 18th century and the War of the Pyrenees, that is, in events more distant than the ones he had usually written about in trilogies like La selva oscura, pieces such as Zalacaín el aventurero or the series Memorias de un hombre de acción, which deal with the 19th and the 20th centuries. In this paper I suggest that below this journey in History Baroja was not only praising the spirit of the Enlightenment but also developing a criticism of the present, through a reconsideration of History and the genre of historical novel.

This article establishes the need to develop new University disciplines to increase the creativity based on critical experiences (personal and literary). A definition for «the writer's voice» is proposed. The writer's voice comprehends selfknowledge, a way of perceiving reality and the arts, and, at the same time, it is the creative writing's driving force. The second part of the paper consists of a description of the Creative Writing Master at Universidad Complutense de Madrid, through several examples of literary exercises and teaching methods to stimulate and strengthen each student's voice. This proposal finds itself integrated into the renovation of teaching Humanities in the middle of the so-called Artificial Intelligence era. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the article is to analyse the methodology proposed by Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault to study ancient spirituality and its inheritance in modern and contemporary culture. This methodology, according to the hypothesis explored in the paper, attributes a key role to philology or the art of reading well, which leads them both to elaborate a critical and retroactive hermeneutics, especially fruitful when it comes to understanding the different emergences of spirituality in the history of Western culture.

This paper describes and explains the transformations in Biblical interpretation since the mid-20th century by means of the Habermasian category of the Post-secular. After proposing a possible definition of post-secular readings as distinct from both the religious and the secular ones, the article substantiates the claim that a Postsecular hermeneutics avant la lettre preceded not only Habermas's elaboration of that concept but also the reawakening of religious phenomena in current multicultural societies in a global context. In order to spell out these early instances of a Postsecular spirit, the Biblical studies by three relevant contemporary authors have been selected: scholar Luis Alonso Schökel; literary critic and theorist Harold Bloom, and philosopher Paul Ricoeur. The results of my analysis hint to the conclusion that some practitioners of this Post-secular hermeneutics were aware of being at the start of something new. In Paul Ricoeur's case, this leads to the development of a new concept, post-criticism, synonymous and forerunner to the current Habermasian concept. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to study how three loanwords from Arabic fixed in six idioms in Spanish as idiomatic words have been adapted (balde, [h]erre and guájete). To do this, first the concepts of idiomatic word and Arabism are delimited, and the three idiomatic loanwords from Arabic origin to be studied are exposed. They are the result of a lexicographical compilation rehearsed in previous papers. The lexical analysis focuses on the adaptation that they have experienced when accommodating to graphic, phonological, phonotactic, and morphological patterns from Spanish. Thus, it will be verified whether through these various procedures they have been incorporated as crude or adapted loanwords. It will be verified how these three idiomatic words, whose appearance is only possible within the fixed structure of the idioms that contain them, have been transferred into Spanish as fully adapted loanwords, without a native user being aware of their foreign origin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on the evolution of loanwords from the end of the 19th century to modern Spanish on the basis of columns on the language (CSL). The main objective is to study the tensions between norm established by Spanish language institutions or their representatives and the actual use of loanwords by Spanish speakers. We start from the idea that language is closely related to nationalist ideology, near purism. If we relate loan, dictionary and columnism, we can reflect on how ideological positions and norm conceptions have evolutioned in lexical creation. To this end, we will establish four periods by selecting several columnists, we will contrast their opinion with the academic norm through the contemporary dictionary and we will check the actual use in the academic corpus. The results will show whether the norm, in principle always on alert and resistant to the incorporation of foreign words, and the real use of the speakers are contrary or converge. Finally, the ideological implications of this type of attitude on the part of both the Academy and the columnists will be reflected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to analyze the history of the presence of neologism in the language columns from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the second half of the 20th century in order to settle the evolution of the treatment of this concept and the links it sets up with the dictionary of the Real Academia Española. The texts that have been studied are Valbuena (1887-1896), Commelerán (1887), Atrián Salas (1887), Álvarez Sereix (1889), Martínez Abellán (1896), Echegaray (1905), Cavia (1922) and Casares (1918, 1941, 1944, 1961, 1965), in addition to the section «Revista de Revistas» of La España Moderna. The main results of the analysis show that, although the criticism of the neologism focuses on linguistic borrowings, it also concerns other types of lexical innovations and that the dictionary is the object of very different regards, some of them closely related to the neologism.

Columns on language (CSL) are texts published periodically in the press through which expert knowledge about the language is transmitted. In this paper we focus specifically on the columns published in the Spanish press that deal with some aspect of women and language (CSLM). The objectives are to establish the different stages of the feminization of language through linguistic columnism, to determine which columnists write CSLM in each stage and which topics are recurrently dealt with in each of them. To do so, we follow the theoretical framework of Pragmatic Linguistics, with approaches and assumptions from Discourse Analysis. The corpus consists of 338 CSLM from 22 columnists. The analysis allowed us to distinguish three stages: 1. From the end of the 19th century to the end of the 1970s. 2. From the end of the seventies to the end of the twentieth century. 3. The 21st century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Columns on language are characterised by the fact that they are discourses in which a problem related to language is discussed. They are argumentative texts in which subjectivity and scientific explanation are combined to influence groups of readers with whom they share broad areas of agreement. The aim of this paper is to analyse the topics on which the discourse on language in linguistic columnism is based from its origins to the present day. Based on Perelman and Olbrechts-Tyteca (2015) typology of the places of argumentation quantity, quality, order, and essence a corpus of columns on language is analysed in order to find the argumentative correlates of these topics in the discourse on language. Their continuity over time and their relevance as characterizing elements of the metalinguistic discursive tradition they form will be shown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the results of a pragmalinguistic analysis of the manifestations of polyphony through reported speech, and oralization within a corpus of Columns about Language published in the Spanish press between 1960 and 2020. Based on the polyphonic theory and oralization in the media, as well as in previous studies on linguistic ideologies in the press, this mixed analysis aims at finding the most frequent reported speech and oralizing mechanisms present in the corpus, and identifying their discursive functions within these texts. The results show that, with few differences and throughout the period considered, the columns favor direct speech and interrogative statements. These strategies allow, in most cases, to reproduce other people’s discourses that are critically evaluated, and to establish a relationship of complicity with the readers of the column.

The aim of this paper is to analyse the discursive construction of Standard Spanish in a corpus of language columns written in Spain during the 19th and the 20th centuries. Drawing on the framework of glottopolitics, we examine the socalled «Standard Language ideology» (Milroy/ Milroy [1985] 1991, 1), according to which one specific variety is intrinsically superior to the rest, one that is «correct» and should thus be prioritised as a model for language performance and «good» usage, in this case, in the Hispanic world. The relevance of metalinguistic discourse in the analysis of language columnism lies not only in the existing debates concerning the prestigious and stigmatised linguistic uses, but also in its contribution to the construction of an ideological scenario regarding what a language must be. In this respect, the texts of the selected columnists contribute to the construction of Spanish as the only national, common and standard language on both sides of the Atlantic.

This paper focuses on the character of the queen Elizabeth I of England in La española inglesa in contrast to Isabela, her protagonist. First, a critical review of the interpretations of the novel that observe the tolerance of the sovereign is realized. Hereafter, based on the analysis of this character appearances, it proposes that the figure of the queen is not completely positive, but has negative connotations. Finally, it concludes that the principal character it does not build as a direct reflection of the queen, but she develops her female condition, her religiosity, and her sexuality in an opposite manner.

The main purpose of this paper is to find out the author of the three Latin verses quoted by Pérez Galdós in his novel El 19 de marzo y el 2 de mayo (1873). After discarding Pérez Galdós himself and Sánchez Barbero (prima facie more likely) as authors, we have found the source in a Neo-Latin poem written in honor of Godoy and preserved in two handwritten copies, one in the Royal Academy of History and the other in Menéndez Pelayo's Library. The real author is the Enlightenment thinker Joaquín Traggia. This fact, in its turn, raises the problem of how Pérez Galdós could come to know any of these manuscripts around 1872. In addition, the manuscript text has been compared with Galdós's quotation in the printed version as well as in his own handwritten text. In sum, we have determined the authorship of the Latin quotation and its origin; we have considered the new literary context of these verses in Pérez Galdós's novel; and lastly, a new, amended edition of such verses is proposed.

This paper deals with the reinterpretation of two Greco-Latin topoi (locus amoenus and beatus ille) in recent Spanish poetry. If locus amoenus has been considered the representation of the idyllic landscape since classical antiquity, beatus ille stands as the paradigm of an austere existence, far from the vanities of public life. The texts included here, written at the end of 20th and beginning of 21st centuries, show that the current effectiveness of the aforementioned topics depends on their ability to adapt to the values of nowadays culture, through strategies of aesthetic relocation and ironic dislocation. In fact, locus amoenus and beatus ille emerge from the literary tradition, come across the historical context, and interact with contemporary identity. More generally, it is argued that the expectations traditionally associated to nature-based topoi can be reactivated in today's society according to the new expressive needs, cultural conventions and environmental approaches.

This paper highlights the importance of studying not only the sources of Spanish early modern novels but also the printed editions in which they were transmitted, particularly in instances of rewritings bordering on plagiarism. One of these cases is found in El Patrañuelo (1567) by Juan de Timoneda. Although it has been proved that the twentieth patraña was copied from Apuleius’ El asno de oro, originally translated by Diego López de Cortegana (ca. 1513), the question of which printed edition the narrator and playwright used had been ignored until now. This paper examines those which the author might have drawn on as a source. After analysing common errors and textual variants I conclude that the most likely candidate is the translation’s first expurgated printing: the text Iuan Steelsio published in Amberes in 1551.

The purpose of this paper is to study to what extent and in what way Ricardo E. Molinari carries out a fusion of Gongorine and Avant-garde components in El pez y el manzana (1929), especially regarding the use of some themes and motifs, as well as language and literary techniques. The originality of the poem is highlighted, which is not an exact copy of Góngora's style, although it has a strong evocative effect. Molinari creates a peculiar and new Gongorine style, with a voice of his own, incorporating a poetic irrationalism akin to the Avant-garde. This work is contemporary to the Spanish poets who cultivated Ultraism and Surrealism, whom he met personally, after having published El pez y la manzana, during his stay in the 30's in Spain.

This paper sets out to analyse the linguistic resources used by Valera in his letters with the specific purpose of persuading the recipient of the usefulness of his advice or promoting his ideas on ethical or moral issues. The study focuses on three important aspects from a pragmati++++c perspective: the features of formal language variety, which project an image of Valera as a cultivated courtier; the internal coherence of the discourse (adaptation to the epistolary genre moulds and use of discursive connection resources); and, finally, the linguistic mitigation strategies, aimed at protecting his own image and that of the recipient. In a political landscape as complex as that of the 15th century, Valera's skills in managing these resources enhance his image as a skilled advisor and reinforces the persuasive message of his letters.

This paper is part of the DIPURE project, in which researchers from the universities of Almería, Murcia and Cardenal Herrera of Valencia have examined the public discourse on refugees in Spain from different perspectives. On this occasion, our object of study combines migration and health, as we have dealt with the journalistic discourse on the resignation syndrome, which, according to the little research that has been done on it, only affects children who applied for asylum in Sweden. To examine the treatment of the resignation syndrome in the Spanish media, we observed a sample of the written press published from 2015, the year in which the number of refugees in the world began to increase considerably, until June 2021. The study is framed within the hypergenre known as social debate and the main results of the study are structured in three dimensions: the first affects space and time; the second, actors; and the third, evaluations and arguments.

The present paper explores the relationship between the concepts of voice (B1961), and its consequences in the achievement of facework (Goffman 1967) in doctor-patient interaction. On the theoretical basis of Sociocultural Pragmatics (Bravo 2020), three extracts consultations in Galicia are submitted to a qualitative analysis. The results show that the interactants use voices that are characteristic of their respective roles as doctor and patient, but they exchange also their respective voices or turn to other external voices that are recontextualized in the specific situation. As a discursive strategy, the management of voices is part of the creation of facework, that is, politeness and self-face behaviors that confirm the interactants’ face role. In addition, the analysis shows that voice constitutes a discursive resource that contributes to the updating and redefinition of roles in the interaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to explore the role of personal narratives of long COVID patients within the discursive landscape of the media and social networks. The study is based on a flexible notion of personal narrative, understood as a diffuse and scalar modality (Page) and as a social practice, i.e. as a social activity within a given context, in which different relations of power and ideology converge (De Fina). After defining the features of journalistic news on Facebook, using a socio-cognitive approach to discursive genres (Bhatia; Carranza 2012; Hanks), I will analyse some news about long COVID and the different narrative accounts introduced by both journalists and participants in the virtual communities. Among the results, we will highlight the prominence of the personal narrative in the social debate around health and in the discursive construction of a new disease (Bañón Hernández).

In this paper we present two poetic manuscripts related to Jovellanos and recently located in the Fermín Canella collection of the Tolivar Alas Archive (“Ramón Pérez de Ayala” Public Library, Oviedo). These are two copies of the late 19th/early 20th century owned by the scholar Fermín Canella, both of great relevance. The first one is a lost copy – but of which there was indirect information – of Jovellanos’s Satire III, relevant because it allows us to conclude without a shadow of a doubt that several errors have been introduced in the text until now considered good and edited in the Complete Works of Jovellanos prepared by José Miguel Caso González. The second one gives as a work by Jovellanos a poem never before attributed to him. However, an examination of the text, its textual tradition, and the circumstances of its composition allows us to discard Jovellanos’s authorship. In sum, we establish how Jovellanos’s Satire III should be edited from now on and discard the composition “[Six virtues alone are...]” from his corpus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The goal of this paper is to analyse the opinion that women writers such as Emilia Pardo Bazán, Blanca de los Ríos, Concepción Saiz Otero and María Lejárraga expressed at the dawn of the twentieth century, in line with the celebration of the III centenary of Don Quixote, on the new data provided by Documentos cervantinos, published by Pérez Pastor in 1897 and 1902, in relation to a very controversial issue: The women of the Cervantes family. These first Cervantist women had to face the fact that Cervantes’ sisters, Andrea and Magdalena, his niece Constanza and even his daughter Isabel were “damas servidas”, i.e., “honest courtesans” as they were styled in their time. We shall clarify what role this circumstance plays in Blanca de los Ríos’ hypotheses about the authorship of Quijote de Avellaneda, what relevance Pardo Bazán gives the discoveries of Pérez Pastor in order to dissent from official Cervantism, and how María Lejárraga and Concepción Saiz Otero reflect on “the angel in the house”, about the “maintained woman”, who contrasts with the modern and independent woman, embodied in the teaching professional that was Saiz Otero herself.

This paper analyses the tragedy El Philoctetes, adaptation of the Sophoclean play by the Jesuit José Arnal (1729-1790), teacher, translator of classical authors and poet. This tragedy is classed in some places as translation; however, it was an adaptation that was made of the Greek drama to be represented by students of classical languages in Zaragoza at the beginning of the decade of 1760; it was published in Zaragoza in 1764, before the expulsion of the Society of Jesus, and doubly reissued, years later, in Barcelona.

The aim of this paper is to study the syntactic structure of a paroemiac subcategory: tautologies. We will observe the diachronic evolution of this type of formulas from the Middle Ages to the present day. The diachronic study confirms the idea according to which sententious phrases, in this case tautologies, are not transmitted in the same form from generation to generation. They adapt to the times in which they are uttered. The structures are reduced over the centuries in both French and Spanish. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reports the existence of three unknown copies of Quevedo's Gracias y desgracias del ojo del culo, preserved in the Bilioteca Valenciana and the Biblioteca de Navarra. Bibliographical and textual analysis of the six extant copies confirms that the two with this short title belong to the same edition, allegedly printed in the 17th Century, and one of them was manipulated with the text of a manuscript now lost; on the contrary, the four copies entitled Gracias y desgracias del nobilísimo señor ojo del culo represent four different editions. New copies and editions demonstrate the outstanding difussion of this work through the press. In addition, they invite scholars to reconsider the printed transmission of the work as well as the suggested dates of publication: these cause a critical prejudice that conditions the knowledge of its textual history, due to the lack of authoritative data about the imprint, the paper and the watermark.

This paper reviews the dialogue and controversies between the paratexts of a corpus of collections of short novels –and romances– published from 1624 to 1637: Novelas ejemplares y prodigiosas historias (1624) and Varias fortunas (1627) by Juan de Piña; La desdicha en la constancia (1624) and El cuerdo amante (1628) by Miguel Moreno; Sucesos y prodigios de amor (1624) by Juan Pérez de Montalbán; Tardes entretenidas (1625), Jornadas alegres (1626), Tiempo de regocijo (1627), Escarmientos de amor moralizados (1628), Lisardo enamorado (1629) and Huerta de Valencia (1629) by Alonso de Castillo Solórzano; Experiencias de amor y fortuna (1626) and Historia de Hipólito y Aminta (1627) by Francisco de Quintana; and Novelas amorosas y ejemplares (1637) by María de Zayas. It focuses upon the active literary field around Lope de Vega, on the collaborations of the printers Juan González and Luis Sánchez with de bookseller Alonso Pérez and, over all, on the “Prólogo al que leyere” and the “Prólogo de un desapasionado” in the Zayas’s volume. After proposing a writing date for the first one (1626), it is shown that the author of the second foreword (c. 1635-1637) was Castillo Solórzano. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper focuses on Novelas de varios sucesos (Granada: Blas Martínez, 1635) by Ginés Carrillo Cerón, a book of which only one copy is preserved, and that offers a host of reading problems. We analyze the poems interpolated into the short novels, several of which are by other Baroque writers, such as, e.g., Francisco de Trillo y Figueroa. One of Trillo’s ballads used by Carrillo happens to be the earliest sample of his poetic corpus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper recovers two scripts from the silent era: La gitanilla (Anonymous, 1914) –preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France– and La ilustre fregona (Francisco Carrillo Casado, 1926) –Biblioteca Nacional de España–, based on the homonymous tales by Cervantes (Novelas ejemplares, 1613). First, I will look over the lost adaptations of the whole Baroque collection; I will examine next the concept of “script” in silent film; and, finally, I will delve into this pair of rewrites, paying attention to both their peculiar form and their differences from the base texts.

This paper aims to consider Martin del Barco Centenera's Argentina y conquista del Río de la Plata (1602) as a blending of history and fiction, in the context of an epistemic revolution that took place during the European Renaissance Era and the preceptive reading of Aristotle's Poetics in Italy and Spain. This paper exposes how this epic poem was elaborated with evidentially modalizations and other rhetoric resources to provide a credible testimony and its moralizating point of view.

This paper provides some examples of the presence of fractality in children's literature, a fact that allows us to reflect on the changes that productions intended for children have undergone in recent decades and that have directly affected the conception and quality of this literature. The presence of the fractal, first, as a stronghold of orality (so closely related to childhood) and, secondly, as a structuring element of discourse in written manifestations, reinforces the claim of the literary as the main managing element of discourse, above the target audience.

The present work aims at studying the fusion between the autofiction and the metafiction in Eduardo Berti's autonovela. The paper focuses on the different strategies used by the Argentine writer in order to create the fragmentation, brevity and fractality in the narrative discourse. It concludes with the argument that fragmentary writing is the most convenient form of autofictional literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines fragmentation in Azorín's debut novel, titled Diario de un enfermo (1901). It will firstly underscore how fragmentation facilitates one of the main features of modernist novels -interiorisation. This paper will then deploy the categories of narrative fragments identified by Frank Kermode in order to undertake an analysis of fragmentation in Diario de un enfermo, focusing on the ways in which fragments interrupt the plot helping to intensify narrative interiorisation. The article will explain that the purpose of the novel, according to the narrator, is to offer a portrait of his soul and that the fragments are crucial to achieve this. Our analysis concludes that, not only does the use of fragments result in a fragmented novel, but fragments do also allow for a forceful exploration of the protagonist's inner feelings and of his listless conception of life.

This paper describes the acoustic characteristics of sound [s] in the cities of: Medellín and Apartadó and explores the hypothesis that the articulation of /s/ will serve to distinguish between the dialects spoken in these two areas. The study analizes 943 [s] produced by a total amount of 32 speakers. The following parameters were considered in the analysis: Center of gravity, spectral peak, standard deviation of the spectrum, skewness, kurtosis, zero crossings and harmonic-noise ratio. Results suggest that: in syllable onset [s] is more apical in Medellín and more dentalised in Apartadó. Also, Medellín’s onset [s] is more sibilant. In coda position, there is no difference between the two dialects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a result of the neurocognitive approach to the lexicon that disciplines such as Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics carry out and, consequently, the addition of the mental and brain mechanisms that underlie the encoding and decoding of meanings in the field of Semantics, a series of terms or terminological units arises. They can be grouped into three main axes: the lexical mental and brain representations, the computational and associative processes involved in lexical-semantic comprehension and production, and the acquisition and loss of meanings. The main aims of our paper are 1) to assess the inclusion of these Psycholinguistics contents in Lexical Semantics, 2) to analyze their degree of consolidation and vitality in a set of dictionaries of Linguistics, and 3) to identify possible deficiencies in their terminological treatment and draw up a proposal for their conceptual integration.

Despite conceiving epistemological principles as the most important element in a science, Eugenio Coseriu did not ever succeed in publishing any Lessons in Philosophy of Linguistics as such. Instead, he expressed a great number of his epistemological convictions as comments scattered across nearly all of his writings. In order to highlight the indissolubility between the linguistic and philosophical dimensions of theorization which characterized Coseriu’s approach to language, it becomes necessary to check which aspects his linguistic thinking, which argumentation procedures and which key categorizations and concepts in his linguistic theorization originated from issues of a philosophical nature – especially in what specifically concerns philosophy of linguistics. In this respect, the aim of this paper is to identify the philosophical-scientific foundations underlying “Logicismo y antilogicismo en la gramática” (“Logicism and Antilogicism in Grammar”). In doing so, my goal consists in showing that this work is not a mere linguistic study, but an essential approach to unravel the epistemological principles around which the whole philosophical-scientific edifice of Coserian linguistic theory is structured.

This paper examines evidential hashtags on Twitter. The analyzed hashtags contain constructions of the verb decir (‘to say’) that are preceded by the hash symbol (e.g., #dicen, #sedice, #esodicen, #dicenporahí), which have not been analyzed from the perspective of evidentiality. An exploratory and qualitative study was performed using a sample of 94 tweets that were published over six months. The analysis addresses structural and semantic-pragmatic parameters. According to the results of the analysis, evidential hashtags can transmit reportative, quotative and folklore evidentiality. Furthermore, the evidential meaning of the hashtags is accompanied by pragmatic functions such as attenuation, ironic dissociation and argumentative strengthening. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the final statements (“golden minutes”) of televised electoral debates in Spain between 1993 and 2019. The methodology is adjusted to the cognitive analysis of discourse, analyzing three pragmatic indicators that could reveal an evolution in three stages of Spanish politics: the bipartisan phase (1993-2011), an adjustment phase (2011-2015) and a multiparty phase (2015- 2019). The discursive spaces dependent on the predicative strategy, the predominant illocutionary force, and the use of superstructures are analyzed. It is concluded that, for the three phases, the variables referring to the use of enunciative persons (which points to the introduction of the ethos of discourse), and the recourse to speech acts of expressive illocutionality (which reinforce the introduction of the pathos) are especially relevant. These preponderances are reinforced by a high level of rhetorical elaboration and a preference for enumerative structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the temporal narrative structure of Jerónimo de Alcalá Yáñez’s picaresque novel Alonso, mozo de muchos amos, published in two parts in 1624 and 1626, which unfolds on two levels: first that of the frame or dialogued novel, in which Alonso talks in the present with a different interlocutor in each part of the text; secondly that of the autobiographical novel, corresponding to the protagonist’s past and contained in his interventions in the dialogue. On this level a series of chronological data can be traced that allow us to calculate the advanced age that the rogue was at the end of the narration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses the role of several elements of the celebration (especially theatre, literary compositions and sacred oratory) in the complex relationship between Jesuits and Dominicans in Manila in the second half of the 17th century. The comparative analysis of the chronicles written on canonization and beatification celebrations of both religions organized in the 1670s shows their rivalry in the field of letters when it comes to demonstrating their doctrinal and intellectual hegemony, as well as in the search for a favorable social position with respect to the ruling classes. The issue is thus part of the battle for propaganda that ultimately resolves quotas of spiritual and temporal power. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the final statements ("golden minutes") of televised electoral debates in Spain between 1993 and 2019. The methodology is adjusted to the cognitive analysis of discourse, analyzing three pragmatic indicators that could reveal an evolution in three stages of Spanish politics: the bipartisan phase (1993-2011), an adjustment phase (2011-2015) and a multiparty phase (2015-2019). The discursive spaces dependent on the predicative strategy, the predominant illocutionary force, and the use of superstructures are analyzed. It is concluded that, for the three phases, the variables referring to the use of enunciative persons (which points to the introduction of the ethos of discourse), and the recourse to speech acts of expressive illocutionality (which reinforce the introduction of the pathos) are especially relevant. These preponderances are reinforced by a high level of rhetorical elaboration and a preference for enumerative structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the temporal narrative structure of Jerónimo de Alcalá Yáñez's picaresque novel Alonso, mozo de muchos amos, published in two parts in 1624 and 1626, which unfolds on two levels: first that of the frame or dialogued novel, in which Alonso talks in the present with a different interlocutor in each part of the text; secondly that of the autobiographical novel, corresponding to the protagonist's past and contained in his interventions in the dialogue. On this level a series of chronological data can be traced that allow us to calculate the advanced age that the rogue was at the end of the narration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses the role of several elements of the celebration (especially theatre, literary compositions and sacred oratory) in the complex relationship between Jesuits and Dominicans in Manila in the second half of the 17th century. The comparative analysis of the chronicles written on canonization and beatification celebrations of both religions organized in the 1670s shows their rivalry in the field of letters when it comes to demonstrating their doctrinal and intellectual hegemony, as well as in the search for a favorable social position with respect to the ruling classes. The issue is thus part of the battle for propaganda that ultimately resolves quotas of spiritual and temporal power. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present paper we offer some considerations on Peter Cole's figure and work. Peter Cole is an important poet and translator of the Hebrew and Arabic poetry produced in Spain around the 10'h and 15*' centuries. These considerations are developed in the frame of Kabbalah and its History, specifically we will focus on Abraham Abulafia, one of the most essential character in the Kabalistic tradition. Abulafia acts as a kind of bridge to know the poetry of Kabbalah from a detailed point of view. In this sense we collect in the second part of the paper an interpretation of five selected poems from the Kabbalistic tradition and we explore their meaning, power and strength of the verses from own Cole's view.
