Second language learning: finding ways to successfully integrate ICT resources and right strategies for language learning, translation and interpreting

Second language learning: finding ways to integrate ICT resources and right strategies for language learning, translation and interpreting Second language learning has gained importance as language accreditations have become imperative for any profession or academic career. Undergraduate students in Philology, Translation Studies, Tourism Studies or the like follow language accreditation programmes in order to be able to compile a valid and solid CV when they complete their degrees, master or PhD programmes. In the case of Translation students, they are subjects with strong motivation for language learning applied to translation or interpreting tasks. Language technologies and tools constitute an essential part of their learning processes and language teachers should find a way of optimising the use of these resources. For this purpose, we have conducted a survey among students, trying to find out which web resources they use, how they use them (or not) and why. Using these data, we considered new strategies to help students get the most out of these tools; in particular, we analysed the pros and cons of machine translation tools, such as deepL and Google Translator, as well as corpus linguistics tools.Universidad de Málaga.

Unemployment duration among immigrants and natives: unobserved heterogeneity in a multi-spell duration model

This paper studies whether the unemployment dynamics of immigrants differ from those of natives, paying special attention to the impact of accounting for unobserved heterogeneity among individuals. Using a large administrative data set for Spain, we estimate multiple-spell discrete duration models which disentangle unobserved heterogeneity from duration dependence. Specifically, we estimate random effects models assuming that the distribution of the effects is discrete with finite support, and fixed effects models in which the distribution of the unobserved effects is left unrestricted. Our results show the importance of accounting for unobserved heterogeneity and that mistaken policy implications can be derived due to improper treatment of unmeasured variables. We find that lack of control for unobserved heterogeneity leads to the conclusion that immigrant males have a higher probability of leaving unemployment than natives and that the negative effect of unemployment benefits for immigrants lasts longer than for natives. Nonetheless, the estimates which do control for unobserved heterogeneity show the opposite results

Unobserved Heterogeneity in Multi-Spell Discrete Time Duration Models

This paper considers the estimation of discrete time duration models. We highlight the enhance identification opportunities embedded in multiple spell data to separately identify the effect of duration dependence and individual time invariant unobserved heterogeneity. We consider two types of models: (i) random effects models specifying a mass point distribution for the unobserved heterogeneity; and (ii) fixed effects models in which the distribution of the effects is left unrestricted. The availability of multiple spell data allows us to consider this type of models, in the spirit of fixed effects discrete choice panel data models. We study the finite sample properties of different estimators for previous models by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, as an empirical illustration, we estimate unemployment duration models using Spanish administrative data with information on the entire labor history of the individuals.Duration models; Discrete choice; Multiple spells; Unobserved heterogeneity; Unemployment.

Cortes y monarquía en el Reino de Navarra, siglos XII-XV

La erudición del siglo XIX tuvo también en Navarra su campo de actuación, centrada en el estudio de los orígenes y significado de los fueros o textos normativos que avalasen la naturaleza del poder monárquico. Yangüas y Miranda, en 1840, afirmaba “que hubo un contrato social entre los navarros y sus monarcas y que existía una representación nacional, aun que aristocrática y circunscrita a los doce ricos hombres”. De aquí que la posterior historiografía, con su acentuado carácter reduccionista, calificase a la monarquía navarra como pactista. Ceremonial de la coronación y juramento de sus reyes, asistidos por las asambleas representativas de los estamentos sociales:” deben levantar rey los ricos hombres, infanzones, caballeros e el pueblo de la tierra (Fuero General, lib. 2, tít.4, cap. 2). Las etapas más significativas para observar los fenómenos antes mencionados son: 1º. El reino de Pamplona bajo la dinastía aragonesa (1076-1134) 2º. Restauración de la monarquía: de rey de los Pamploneses a rey de Navarra (1134.1234) 3º. La Casa Condal de Champaña (1234-1274). El Fuero Antiguoy el juramento real.. 4º. El reino de Navarra bajo el gobierno de la Casa de Francia (1274-1328): De las Cortes o Cort General a los Tres Estados del reino. 5.º. Navarra entre Francia y España (1328-1425)Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tec

La poesía intervencionista de José María Heredia

Dans cet article, nous analyserons la traduction du poème « El mérito de las mujeres » de José María Heredia y Heredia, traduction du poème français « Le mérite des femmes » d’Ernest Wilfrid Legouvé. Cette étude s’insère dans un projet de recherche sur la traduction à Cuba au XIXe siècle. Nous postulons que la traduction de José María Heredia est le résultat d’interventions délibérées lui permettant de développer un volet particulier de son oeuvre littéraire : les poésies interventionnistes.In this article we analyze the Spanish translation of the poem “Le mérite des femmes” written by Ernest Wilfrid Legouvé and translated into Spanish by José María Heredia y Heredia as “El mérito de las mujeres”. This study is part of a research project on translation in Cuba in the nineteenth century. We argue that Heredia’s translation is the result of set deliberate interventions that allowed him to develop another aspect of his literary work: “interventionist poems”
