The Diccionario Inglés-Español de Contabilidad: Traducción and the Diccionario Inglés-Español de Contabilidad: Traducción de Frases y Expresiones: Two Specialised Dictionaries for Translating Terms and Collocations

This paper focuses on the role dictionaries play in a translation situation. This role is analysed in terms of the tenets of the Function Theory of Lexicography, which proposes that users do not have needs in general but punctual needs in specific situations. For example, translators of accounting texts need insertable equivalents whose meanings and language behaviour are clearly described. Furthermore, translators also need contextual data on domain-specific consensual usage. The construction of the Accounting Dictionaries and Diccionarios de Contabilidad reveals that the Function Theory offers theoretical and practical solutions for constructing dictionaries that target user needs in a precise way (Fuertes-Olivera & Tarp 2014). For example, two recent accounting dictionaries, the Diccionario Inglés-Español de Contabilidad: Traducción and Diccionario Inglés-Español de Contabilidad: Traducción de Frases y Expresiones, offer precise dictionary data for disambiguating the meaning of English accounting terms, their Spanish equivalents and their use in real English and Spanish accounting texts.Cet article est centré sur le rôle des dictionnaires en situation de traduction. Ce rôle est analysé suivant les principes de la Théorie Fonctionnelle de la Lexicographie, qui établit que les utilisateurs n’ont pas des besoins généraux, mais des besoins ponctuels en situations spécifiques d’utilisation. Ainsi les traducteurs de textes comptables ontils besoin d’équivalents insérables, dont le sens et le comportement langagier sont minutieusement décrits. En outre, les traducteurs ont également besoin de données contextuelles illustrant les usages discursifs conventionnalisés du domaine de spécialité. La construction des Accounting Dictionnairies and Diccionarios de Contabilidad – dictionnaires de comptabilité – révèle que la Théorie Fonctionnelle apporte des solutions théoriques et pratiques à la construction de dictionnaires parfaitement ciblés sur les besoins des utilisateurs (Fuertes-Olivera & Tarp 2014). Par exemple, deux récents dictionnaires de comptabilité, le Diccionario Inglés-Español de Contabilidad: Traducción et le Diccionario Inglés-Español de Contabilidad: Traducción de Frases y Expresiones, offrent tous deux des données dictionnairiques précises pour désambiguïser le sens des termes de comptabilité anglais, leurs équivalents espagnols, et leur mise en discours dans des textes de comptabilité anglais et espagnols authentiques.Thanks are due to Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad and Junta de Castilla y León for financial support (grants FFI2011-22885 and VA067A12-1).

Colloidal gelation and non-ergodicity transitions

Within the framework of the mode coupling theory (MCT) of structural relaxation, mechanisms and properties of non-ergodicity transitions in rather dilute suspensions of colloidal particles characterized by strong short-ranged attractions are studied. Results building on the virial expansion for particles with hard cores and interacting via an attractive square well potential are presented, and their relevance to colloidal gelation is discussed.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures; Talk at the Conference: "Unifying Concepts in Glass Physics" ICTP Trieste, September 1999; to be published in J.

Dynamic heterogeneities in attractive colloids

We study the formation of a colloidal gel by means of Molecular Dynamics simulations of a model for colloidal suspensions. A slowing down with gel-like features is observed at low temperatures and low volume fractions, due to the formation of persistent structures. We show that at low volume fraction the dynamic susceptibility, which describes dynamic heterogeneities, exhibits a large plateau, dominated by clusters of long living bonds. At higher volume fraction, where the effect of the crowding of the particles starts to be present, it crosses over towards a regime characterized by a peak. We introduce a suitable mean cluster size of clusters of monomers connected by "persistent" bonds which well describes the dynamic susceptibility.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Glasses in hard spheres with short-range attraction

We report a detailed experimental study of the structure and dynamics of glassy states in hard spheres with short-range attraction. The system is a suspension of nearly-hard-sphere colloidal particles and non-adsorbing linear polymer which induces a depletion attraction between the particles. Observation of crystallization reveals a re-entrant glass transition. Static light scattering shows a continuous change in the static structure factors upon increasing attraction. Dynamic light scattering results, which cover 11 orders of magnitude in time, are consistent with the existence of two distinct kinds of glasses, those dominated by inter-particle repulsion and caging, and those dominated by attraction. Samples close to the `A3 point' predicted by mode coupling theory for such systems show very slow, logarithmic dynamics.Comment: 22 pages, 18 figure

Diccionarios del español para la producción de textos

El diccionario del español para la producción de textos es una herramienta de consulta diseñada para ayudar a un usuario tipo, por ejemplo un ser humano o un programa informático, a solucionar problemas de redacción. Este diccionario tiene en abril de 2017 alrededor de 80.000 acepciones descritas (aumenta el número de las mismas a una media de 30.000 acepciones por año) y es un integrante de un portal lexicográfico con objetivos comerciales, Diccionarios Valladolid-UVa. El diccionario presenta novedades teóricas y prácticas basadas en la idea de que un diccionario de internet debe ser un diccionario dinámico, es decir, un diccionario que ofrece varias posibilidades de consulta gracias a la interrelación de los tres componentes básicos de un diccionario de internet: (a) una base de datos lexicográfica o editor; (b) uno o varios motores  de búsqueda; (c) una o varias interfaces. Como los paquetes informáticos comerciales existentes en la actualidad no permiten el desarrollo de este tipo de diccionarios, nuestros diccionarios se diseñan y construyen con tecnologías propias pensadas para favorecer el proceso de construcción, actualizar los datos lexicográficos al minuto, reusar los datos lexicográficos existentes y hacer uso tanto de tecnologías propias (por ejemplo, sistemas de búsquedas maximizadoras) como de libre disposición (por ejemplo Ngram Viewer)

Hierarchy of piecewise non-linear maps with non-ergodicity behavior

We study the dynamics of hierarchy of piecewise maps generated by one-parameter families of trigonometric chaotic maps and one-parameter families of elliptic chaotic maps of $\mathbf{cn}$ and $\mathbf{sn}$ types, in detail. We calculate the Lyapunov exponent and Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy of the these maps with respect to control parameter. Non-ergodicity of these piecewise maps is proven analytically and investigated numerically . The invariant measure of these maps which are not equal to one or zero, appears to be characteristic of non-ergodicity behavior. A quantity of interest is the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, where for these maps are smaller than the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents and it confirms the non-ergodicity of the maps.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figure
