Kiezdeutsch as a test case for the interaction between grammar and information structure

Wiese, Heike, Freywald, Ulrike, Mayr, Katharina January 2009 (has links)
This paper deals with Kiezdeutsch, a way of speaking that emerged among adolescents in multiethnic urban neighbourhoods of Germany. We show that, in Kiezdeutsch, we find evidence for both grammatical reduction and new developments in the domain of information structure, and hypothesise that this points to a systematic interaction between grammar and information structure, between weakened grammatical constraints and a more liberal realisation of information-structural preferences. We show that Kiezdeutsch can serve as an interesting test case for such an interaction, that this youth language is a multiethnolect, that is, a new variety that is spoken by speakers from a multitude of ethnic backgrounds, including German, and forms a dynamic linguistic system of its own, thus allowing for systematic developments on grammatical levels and their interfaces with extragrammatical domains.

Come potenziare la Teoria della Mente (ToM) nella Sclerosi Multipla? Dalla letteratura allo sviluppo di un intervento innovativo culturale. / HOW TO ENHANCE THEORY OF MIND IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS? FROM THE LITERATURE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL CULTURAL INTERVENTION

D'ARMA, ALESSIA 11 May 2021 (has links)
La Teoria della Mente (ToM), la capacità cognitiva di riuscire a rappresentare ed interpretare gli stati mentali propri e altrui al fine di prevederne in comportamento, risulta essere deficitaria nella Sclerosi Multipla (SM), patologia cronica neurodegenerativa. La messa a punto e l’implementazione di un training di potenziamento di questa abilità sociale in questi pazienti è di rilevante importanza in quanto la ToM è strettamente connessa alla loro qualità della vita. Dato che ad oggi non esistono training di potenziamento della ToM nella SM, obiettivo primario della tesi è stata l’indagine relativa ai training di cognizione sociale attualmente esistenti in altre patologie croniche dell’età adulta. E’ stata effettuata una revisione sistematica ed una meta-analisi dei training attualmente esistenti per i soggetti con schizofrenia dato che questi soggetti presentano caratteristiche demografiche simili ai soggetti con SM. Si è quindi progettato un training di potenziamento della ToM da proporre ad un sample di soggetti con SM; prima di valutarne l’efficacia è stato condotto uno studio di accettabilità del suddetto training, al fine di superare potenziali barriere per la sua fattibilità. Si è infine proceduto all’esecuzione del terzo lavoro scientifico, ovvero la valutazione dell’efficacia del suddetto training sulla ToM in soggetti affetti da SM. / Theory of Mind (ToM) is the ability of recognition and mental states' attribution to predict future behaviors. ToM deficit is well recognized in MS; hence, ToM training in this population is relevant because ToM is strictly connected with quality of life of people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). To our knowledge, there is no training established for the treatment in this population. For this reason, we proposed to investigate the efficacy of social cognition training in other adults with chronic disease. We conducted a systematic review and a meta-analysis of SC training in schizophrenia, given that these subjects present demographic characteristics similar to pwMS. Hence, we design a rehabilitation ToM training for pwMS; before evaluating its efficacy, we conducted an acceptability study to overcome potential barriers for its feasibility. Lastly, we implement this novel rehabilitation training testing its efficacy on ToM in pwMS.
