Incidencia del factor sexo en el léxico disponible de una comunidad bilingüe

Una de las variables sociolingüísticas tenida en cuenta, tradicionalmente, en los estudios sobre variación léxica es el sexo (o género ). En el presente trabajo pretendemos conocer la incidencia de esta variable sobre el léxico disponible en castellano y en catalán en la provincia de Lleida. Concretamente, analizamos mediante procedimientos estadísticos la influencia que ejerce este factor en la producción del léxico en las dos lenguas en una muestra de 240 informantes bilingües de entre 17 y 18 años con est udios secundarios. Comprobamos 1) que las mujeres obtienen mejores índices de producción; 2) que existe una relación entre qué sexo evoca más palabras en cada centro de interés y la atribución social a la esfera femenina o masculina de la realidad que engl oba dicho centro; 3) que las mujeres se están sustrayendo a la prohibición de utilizar palabras malsonantes y 4) que, en cambio, mantienen rasgos propios de la afectividad lingüística. Sucede en ambas lenguas en contacto, aunque con ciertas diferencias res eñablesSex (or gender) is one of the sociolinguistic variables considered, traditionally, in studies dealing with lexical variation. In the present work we intend to know the incidence of this variable on the lexicon available in Spanish and in Catalan in the pro vince of Lleida. Specifically, we analyze through statistical procedures the influence that this factor exerts on the production of the lexicon in the two languages in a sample of 240 bilingual informants aged between 17 and 18 years old with secondary edu cation. We verify that: 1) women obtain better production ra tes; 2) lexicon available in each center of interest depends on whether reality to which it refers is socially assigned to male or female sphere; 3) women are avoiding the prohibition of using bad words; 4) on the other hand, they use linguistic affectivity’s features. It happens in both languages in contact, although with certain notable difference

Strategic Analysis in the Realm of Enterprise Modeling – On the Example of Blockchain-Based Initiatives for the Electricity Sector

This paper continues our previous work on modeling support for strategic analysis, by (1) extending a proposed modeling language for strategic analysis (called SAML), among others, with features proposed by business scholars to increase the expressiveness of the analysis, and (2) relating the extended SAML to a language for IT infrastructure analysis (called ITML). Thus, we explicitly contextualize strategic analyses by accounting for the role and impact of IT infrastructure. A scenario in the electricity industry is used to illustrate the analysis proposed

Large Scale Flows from Orion-South

Multiple optical outflows are known to exist in the vicinity of the active star formation region called Orion-South (Orion-S). We have mapped the velocity of low ionization features in the brightest part of the Orion Nebula, including Orion-S, and imaged the entire nebula with the Hubble Space Telescope. These new data, combined with recent high resolution radio maps of outflows from the Orion-S region, allow us to trace the origin of the optical outflows. It is confirmed that HH 625 arises from the blueshifted lobe of the CO outflow from 136-359 in Orion-S while it is likely that HH 507 arises from the blueshifted lobe of the SiO outflow from the nearby source 135-356. It is likely that redshifted lobes are deflected within the photon dominated region behind the optical nebula. This leads to a possible identification of a new large shock to the southwest from Orion-S as being driven by the redshifted CO outflow arising from 137-408. The distant object HH 400 is seen to have two even further components and these all are probably linked to either HH 203, HH 204, or HH 528. Distant shocks on the west side of the nebula may be related to HH 269. The sources of multiple bright blueshifted Herbig-Haro objects (HH 202, HH 203, HH 204, HH 269, HH 528) remain unidentified, in spite of earlier claimed identifications. Some of this lack of identification may arise from the fact that deflection in radial velocity can also produce a change in direction in the plane of the sky. The best way to resolve this open question is through improved tangential velocities of low ionization features arising where the outflows first break out into the ionized nebula.Comment: Astronomical Journal, in press.

The distance to the Orion Nebula

We have used the Very Long Baseline Array to measure the trigonometric parallax of several member stars of the Orion Nebula Cluster showing non-thermal radio emission. We have determined the distance to the cluster to be 414 +/- 7 pc. Our distance determination allows for an improved calibration of luminosities and ages of young stars. We have also measured the proper motions of four cluster stars which, when accurate radial velocities are measured, will put strong constraints on the origin of the cluster.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures, to appear in Astronomy & Astrophyisc
