Tampoco hay muchos estudios teóricos extensos que centren su atención sobre las alternancias morfofonológicas. Este trabajo pretende cubrir esta laguna teórica recopilando, desde una visión crítica, todos aquellos factores que determinan la historia de estos fenómenos, que han sido tratados de forma dispar por las diferentes corrientes lingüísticas. De este modo, este estudio es una teoría de la morfofonología ejemplificada principalmente con casos de alternancias en español. La investigación se estructura en dos dominios. 1) La primera parte es una reflexión teórica sobre la caracterización de los procesos morfofonológicos. Se presentan los problemas de delimitación de estas alternancias frente a otros tipos de alomorfia y se analizan los rasgos condicionantes de su historia. Se defiende la teoría del reanálisis frente a la segmentación morfemática, como posible explicación de la lexicalización y del cambio analógico de algunas alternancias. 2) La segunda parte es una historia de la morfofonología como disciplina teórica. Se analiza de forma crítica el tratamiento descriptivo y/o explicativo que las distintas corrientes lingüísticas le han otorgado a las alternancias morfofonológicas a lo largo de la historia. Asimismo, se propone un modelo explicativo de corte cognitivista elaborado principalmente a partir de los presupuestos de la teoría natural, el modelo de organización léxica y morfológica de Bybee, el modelo analógico de Skousen y algunas investigaciones psicolingüísticas.

Mientras que una película doblada se ve y se escucha simultáneamente, la película subtitulada introduce un componente añadido de presión temporal: el acto de leer. El propósito de este trabajo es dar cuenta del papel destacado de los subtítulos a través de una caracterización de las rutinas básicas que se emplean en su preparación, junto con las convenciones relativas al uso del español en el subtitulado de películas de habla inglesa. En este sentido, los resultados nos permiten constatar en qué medida los subtítulos añaden significado a una película, y cómo en una película subtitulada el requerimiento de leer se convierte en un obstáculo que el espectador puede llegar a superar hasta el punto de fijar su atención en la experiencia básica de la película, dado que la dimensión temporal queda totalmente controlada. ISBN 3 89586 994 5. . 88pp. USD 46.00. 2006. Two major categories of relational words are prepositions and positions, the difference between them having to do with whether they precede or follow their object. There is a relatively small group of words of the same general type which can be placed either before or after their object. Such words have been given the name ambipositions. A possible (though not uncontroversial) example from English is through, e.g. he walked through the forest and he slept the whole night through. Other examples are German entlang and Ancient Greek peri. This book is a detailed examination of this unusual type of word. Contents: Preface, Abbreviations, 1 Introduction, 2 Ambipositions with Simple Behavior, 3 Meaning Differences Depending on Position, 4 Ambipositions with Case Marking Differences in Different Positions, 5 Differences in Types of Complement Allowed, 6 Differences in Form of Prepositional and Postpositional Occurrences, 7 Ambipositions from an Historical Point of View, 8 Conclusion, References.

As an outgrowth of that tradition and in response to the profound changes in the aca- demic labor market, many academic employ- ees have turned to collective bargaining to enhance shared governance and to advocate for improvements in working conditions. Contributors to this volume aim to educate readers about the historical and practical contexts of collective bargaining. The essays collected here explore the perspectives, suc- cesses, failures, and approaches of those who have collectively bargained so that readers can assess the pros and cons of unionization.

Through poetry, this movement was the first serious attempt on the part of mostly white Cuban intellectuals to produce a national literature that incorporated elements from the Afro-Cuban tradi- tions of lower-class urban blacks. The first book-length treatment of the poetry of this movement, Writing Rumba questions the assumption that the poetry did manage to symbolize racial reconciliation and unification. At the same time it reveals a process of literary transculturation by which the dominant literature of European ori- gins was radically transformed through the incorporation of formal principles from Afro-Cuban dance and music forms.
