    A community of practice in the Mercers of the City of London : catching the third sociolinguistic wave with a multilingual medieval guild.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones., 2023) Alcolado Carnicero, José Miguel
    This article tests the applicability of the community-of-practice framework to the process of vernacularisation of the earliest extant account book written by the Mercers’ guild of London between 1347–1348 and 1463–1464. Its records have been informative of the satisfactory applicability of social constructs from the two early sociolinguistic waves, such as time and age and social networks, to related multilingual phenomena, such as codemixing and language maintenance and shift. My analysis shows that the replacement of Latin and French by English as the main language for the different sections of that earliest extant account book began, developed, and ended when the administration of the Mercers’ guild of London was being controlled and recorded –at least partially– by warden-bookkeepers connected through regular and strong contact with each other. Furthermore, their use of the English vernacular was influenced by the previous and simultaneous contact with other records in the same vernacular.

    Aproximación al estudio de los manuales escolares de seminarios conciliares según el plan de estudios de 1852: Relevancia para la historia de la Educación
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2022) González Lozano, Francisco; Pérez Ortiz, Guadalupe; Vivas Moreno, Agustín
    El plan de estudios decretado el año 1852 para los seminarios conciliares organizó la estructura académica de estos centros eclesiásticos. Fundados en el Concilio de Trento, estos establecimientos educativos de la Iglesia católica fueron promotores de cultura en la sociedad bajo las directrices de los obispos diocesanos. Desde mediados del XVII, un giro educativo orientó la pedagogía implantada en ellos: el Estado tomó las riendas de la organización y la oferta educativa de dichos seminarios. El análisis de los manuales escolares decretados aquel año aporta una relevante información sobre los procesos educativos desarrollados en España en las aulas de dichos establecimientos y los fines pedagógicos que pretendían alcanzarse a tenor de las corrientes políticas y educativas del momento. En el presente estudio analizamos la estructura, la distribución de materias y las líneas generales de los manuales escolares del mencionado plan. Su incidencia didáctica grabó huella en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX en el pueblo español.

    Un derivado del latín "Straemen" en aragonés
    (2016-11-18) Nagore Laín, Francho
    It is a question of setting up the etymology of the Aragonese word estrabilla 'stable, stall" which survives in the Echo valley (western Aragonese). We come to the con- clusion that it springs from the STRAMINEA Latin, derived from STRAMEN "straw bedding", etymon that has left descendants in several Romance languages and in Basque.

    (Universidad de Murcia, 2015) Almagro-Gorbea, Martín; Ballester, Xaverio; Turiel, Max
    Presentamos aquí una nueva inscripción de época romana. La pieza contiene una dedicatoria a las lymphae. Estas divinidades asociadas al agua tienen, sin embargo, mayor presencia en la literatura latina que en la epigrafía romana.

    Translating Felix’s Vita sancti Guthlaci into old English : the lexical domains of beauty and aesthetic pleasure and their figurative dimensions in the old English prose Life of Saint Guthlac
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) Minaya Gómez, Francisco Javier
    Based on some of the most recent studies on aesthetic emotions, the purpose of this paper is to examine how aesthetic concepts and aesthetic experience are translated and adapted from Felix’s Vita sancti Guthlaci into Old English prose. Looking into the Old English terms from the lexical domains of beauty and aesthetic pleasure, this paper highlights very specific translation practices on the part of, especially, an Old English author, who implements an additional aesthetic dimension that is not generally found in the Latin source. This paper highlights an apparent hybridity between the cognitive and the sensory in these literary texts, and it also stresses how one of these authors in particular frequently uses sensory evaluations to describe the complex and abstract ideas that are typical of the hagiographical genre.
