Representação gráfica do tempo : efeito de gráficos na compreensão e retenção dos significados do Present Perfect e do seu contraste com o Simple Past

Foohs, Marcelo Magalhães January 2005 (has links)
Este trabalho tem como propósito examinar o efeito da representação gráfica do tempo como meio para facilitar a construção de um esquema mental capaz de acomodar os usos do Present Perfect e de seu contraste com o Simple Past em um módulo de língua inglesa mediado por computador. O Present Perfect constitui-se, reconhecidamente, em um problema para professores e alunos de língua inglesa. Dowty (1979) observa que, “com exceção do progressivo, nenhum outro tempo da língua inglesa recebeu mais atenção dos lingüistas do que o Present Perfect e mesmo assim não há um consenso geral no que se refere à sua estrutura semântica.” Dois estudos foram realizados (2003 e 2005) nos quais os participantes foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em uma de duas condições experimentais: (1) Somente texto e (2) Texto+Gráficos. No segundo estudo foram incorporados gráficos interativos, seguindo a recomendação de Peeck (1993) e o princípio de interatividade de Mayer (2002). Os dados coletados através de um pré-teste, pósteste imediato e pós-teste deslocado, foram analisados através de análises de variância (ANOVAs) de um fator e análises de variância para medidas repetidas. Os resultados das ANOVAs, aliados às respostas de um questionário aplicado logo após o pós-teste imediato sugerem que os tratamentos tiveram pouca influência na compreensão e retenção de informações a curto prazo; o princípio de fatiamento de Sweller (1988), utilizando o modelo temporal de Declerck (1986) e o modelo aspectual de Godoi (1992), aliado com o princípio de multimídia da teoria de aprendizado por multimídia de Mayer (2002), mostraram-se eficazes na compreensão e retenção a longo prazo dos usos e contrastes entre o Present Perfect e o Simple Past; e a inclusão de gráficos interativos no estudo de 2005, serviu para diminuir a confusão causada pelos gráficos estáticos, ocorrida no estudo de 2003. / The present study examined the effect of graphical representation of time in facilitating both interpretation and construction of schemata capable of accounting for the uses of the Present Perfect and its contrast with the Simple Past in an English intermediate course mediated by computer. The English Present Perfect is a wellknown troublemaker for EFL/ESL teachers and learners. Dowty (1979) observes that, “aside from the progressive, no English tense has received more attention from linguists and yet eluded a convincing analysis so completely as the Present Perfect.” Two studies were carried out (2003 and 2005) in which the students were randomly distributed between two treatments: (1) Text only and (2) Text+Graphics. In the second study, interactive graphics were added, following Peeck’s (1993) advice to improve active learning and Mayer’s (2002) interactivity principle to give students more control over the material. The data collected in the pre-test, immediate post-test and delayed post-test were analyzed through analyses of variance (ANOVAs) of one factor and repeated measures ANOVAs. The results of the ANOVAs, together with the answers of the questionnaire applied right after the immediate post-test, suggest that the treatments had low influence over the comprehension and retention of information for the immediate post-test; Sweller’s (1988) chunking principle, utilizing Declerck’s (1986) temporal model and Godoi’s (1992) aspectual model, allied with Mayer’s (2002) principle of multimedia, were effective to promote long lasting comprehension and retention of the uses of the Present Perfect and its contrast with the Simple Past; the inclusion of interactive graphics in the second study (2005), was effective to diminish the confusion caused by the static graphics utilized in the first study (2003).

Jazyková variace ve vyjadřování minulosti v soudních záznamech z Old Bailey ("The Proceedings of the Old Bailey") / Variation in expressing the past in "The Proceedings of the Old Bailey"

Irwin, Zuzana January 2015 (has links)
(in English) This thesis explores relationships among the tenses that express the past in the English language. Among these tenses are: past simple, past continuous, present perfect, present perfect continuous, past perfect, and past perfect continuous. The research focuses on the variation between the past simple (which also includes past continuous) and the present perfect (which also includes progressive constructions). The researched variation is the use of the past simple in the context of the present perfect in which the Present-Day English (PDE) would use the present perfect, and vice versa. Three decades (1731-1740, 1791-1800, and 1861-1870) were chosen from the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries. The findings were compared to the PDE situation. The material was collected from an online database called The Proceeding of the Old Bailey, which is believed to be one of the most reliable sources that are representative of the spoken language of the day. It was thought that the variation would be observed best in spontaneous spoken language. The aim was to study spoken language that was influenced by the grammatical prescriptivism of the age only marginally. There was an expectation that the occurrence of the past simple in the context of the present perfect would gradually decrease...

Present but not perfect : A study of problems Brazilian students encounter when learning the English present perfect tense

Sklar, Fabiana Andrioli January 2011 (has links)
Most Brazilian students learning English face difficulty when studying thepresent perfect. It is one of the most challenging aspects of the Englishlanguage for Portuguese speakers due to the similar form with a divergentsemantic value. The Brazilian Portuguese present perfect forces iteration andthe student automatically transfers the same meaning when translating anEnglish sentence literally. Brazilian learners get confused about when and inwhat situations to use the English present perfect and frequently are not able todistinguish it from the simple past use. This study is comprised of two parts.First, a comparative study was done to investigate which Portuguese tensetranslators of famous literary books consider to be equivalent to the Englishpresent perfect according to the message which is being conveyed. Thedatabase used was the bidirectional parallel corpus of English and PortugueseCOMPARA. Second, textbooks developed to teach English in Brazil wereanalyzed in order to verify from what perspective students were beinginstructed concerning the present perfect and whether the semantic differencesbetween the two languages were pointed out. According to the translationcorpus, the English present perfect is mostly equivalent to Brazilian Portuguesesimple past. Adverbs are also often needed to express the English presentperfect meaning in Portuguese. The textbooks were found to present poorexplanations and seem not to call the learners’ attention to the source of the problems. Textbooks do not stress the importance of the semantic value and thecontext, and do not call attention to the different meanings between theBrazilian and the English present perfect.

Lingvoliterární analýza staročeské skladby Tristram a Izalda / Linguistic and Literary Analysis of Old Bohemian Composition Tristram and Izalda

MUŠINSKÁ, Daniela January 2018 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with an analysis of Old Czech poem Tristram and Izalda. The source of the analysed text is the Strahov manuscript dated to 1449, in edition by Zdeňka Tichá. The thesis includes a brief description of the history and origin of the analysed piece in both European and especially Czech literary context. The main focus of this text is the linguistic analysis of selected language phenomena. That comprises of phonological and morphological evolution of most grammar categories of nouns, adjectives and verbs in Czech language. With nouns and adjectives, the thesis focuses on the declination paradigm, specifically on the system of grammatical cases and the animacy of the masculine gender. With verbs, the attention is given to the analysis of the tenses, with emphasis on the simple past tenses. First and foremost, the thesis focuses on the analysis of the aorist and imperfect tense with emphasis on verbal aspect affiliation, from which these tenses are often created. A part of the work is dedicated to the preterite, the compound past tense. Where individual verbal forms are analysed, the main focus is given to the nt- and s- participles, their suffix system and also the connection to the category of verbal aspect. Many distinct examples from the analysed text are provided throughout the thesis, as well as detailed statistic data on the occurrence frequency of selected phenomena

La danse des temps dans l'épopée, d'Homère au Roland / Dancing with Tenses in Epic, from Homer to the Song of Roland

Lakshmanan-Minet, Nicolas 21 November 2017 (has links)
Les épopées d’Homère et de Virgile, la Chanson de Roland sont marquées par une alternance qui peut paraître capricieuse. En fait, on la saisit beaucoup mieux dès lors qu’on prend en compte la présence des corps : ceux du jongleur, de l’aède, du récitant ; le corps du public. Postures, gestuelle, mouvements, regard, souffle, musique s’articulent à cette alternance pour en faire une véritable danse. Cette thèse étudie d’abord comment dansent chacun des temps principaux du récit dans ces épopées, en accordant la priorité à Homère et au Roland ; puis elle étudie comment cette danse des temps prend corps dans chacune des petites pièces dont nous décelons que sont composées les épopées anciennes comme le Roland : les laisses. / The Homeric and Virgilian epics, as well as the Chanson de Roland are full of tenseswitching, the use of which might seem capricious to the modern reader. It is in fact much better understood when bodies’ presence is taken into account — these bodies being the bard’s one as well as the audience’s. Postures, gestures, moves, eyes, breath, music are joint partners to tenseswitching, so that tenses really dance in epics. This study is firstly about how each one of the main narrative tenses dances in Homer and the Roland, and also in the Æneid. Then it studies the way tenses dance in each of the small pieces we find in the classical epics as well as in the Roland : the laisses.
