From the colonial period to the present day, the bell’s ring has accompanied the historical evolution of our Country. Historically, its clamor has been present in almost every of the most relevant civil and religious events. However, during the colonial era it also reported unforeseen natural events, and its sound was interpreted as a protective resource against extreme geological and hidrometeorogical phenomenon. This work is a first approach to studying the use of bell ringing to protect and ward of storms, floods and hails in the New Spain.

Chromosomal mosaicism is defined as the presence of two or more cell lines with different chromosomal constitutions in the same individual. The present study aims to analyze the prevalence of chromosomal mosaicisms from 2,500 patients who underwent a cytogenetic study carried out in a genetics laboratory located in a city of the Rio de Janeiro State from 04/2011 to 01/2020. Of the 2,500 karyotype exams analyzed, 19 presented chromosomal mosaicisms, nine of which were female, eight male and two undefined. Regarding the type, the study found 14 cases of numerical chromosome aberrations and five cases of structural chromosome aberrations. Infertility was the most prevalent clinical indication, totaling seven patients. Among the 19 cases in this study, two were published in scientific journals. Chromosomal mosaicism can present cell lines with very variable percentages. For greater security, it suggests counting a larger number of cells to increase the chance of identifying these aberrations.

Based on a hemerographic survey carried out in the first two decades of this century, covering the North and Northwest regions of the state of Rio de Janeiro, this article proposes an analysis of conflicts and collective action, especially in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes (Brazil). With an emphasis on conflicts, collective subjects and their demands, the article demonstrates how the different interests present in local civil society are organized and their relationship with the State. It is observed that the first decade (2000-2009) was marked by social struggles over land use and those related to the universal realization of social rights and their expansion, in a context of flexible rights and reconfiguration of the State, considering the advance of mercantile logic under neoliberalism. Yet the following decade (2010-2017) was characterized by resistance to the advanced process of commoditization and privatization of cities, led especially by unions and popular action in the urban peripheries. In the case of Campos, the set of urban removals promoted by the “Morar Feliz” program stands out, with emphasis on the resistance of subordinates.

In general, the city has formal and non-formal educational spaces. Among the possibilities, there is the urban park, which is often not fully utilized due to problems, such as, lack of use and appropriation, lack of maintenance and security, abandonment, crime, etc. However, if taken care of, it can provide benefits for education and the city. In this context, the article aims to present a requalification project of Parque da Cidade in Macaé (Brazil), characterizing it as a non-formal educational space of quality, in order to enhance its use and appropriation by citizens, including the school community, through the creation areas of coexistence, recreation, sport, culture and others. For this, the methodology involved bibliographic and documentary research, field research and project development. The results indicate that it is possible to create urban public spaces that can stimulate the use of parks for educational purposes.

The aim of this study is to describe the use of the pronouns le and les in the Spanish spoken in the province of Barcelona. We analyzed a sample of 12 reading tasks and 22 oral interviews taken from two corpora: the FEC (Fonología del Español Contemporáneo, Pustka et alii 2018) corpus (with mainly Catalan-dominant bilingual speakers) and the Corpus oral de profesionales de la lengua castellana en Barcelona (Sinner 2001, with mainly Spanish-dominant bilinguals). In doing so, we took into account several linguistic variables as well as language dominance of the speakers in order to find out 1) if there is leísmo in Catalan Contact Spanish (although there is no equivalent of leísmo in Catalan) and if so, 2) which features of the referent and of the verb trigger leísmo in this variety, and 3) if Catalan-dominant bilinguals produce leísmo to a lesser extent. While the results of the reading task suggest that leísmo is not absent in the Spanish of Barcelona, there are only a few cases of leísmo in spontaneous speech in both corpora. Regarding the linguistic variables, we see that on the one hand, leísmo is not restricted to leísmo correcto in our corpora; on the other hand, the majority are fake-leismo cases. Thus, our data seem to suggest that the Spanish of Barcelona is only a fake-leísmo variety. Regarding the language dominance, however, we find that Catalan-dominant bilinguals do not produce fewer cases of leísmo, since the leísmo rate is higher in the FEC corpus.

Para explicar la historia del consonantismo madrileño, es necesario considerar también el estado actual del español. Suele atribuirse a la inmigración meridional del s. xx el carácter innovador en muchos rasgos en los sociolectos medios y bajos de la ciudad. Por tanto, hay que rastrear en la documentación archivística para determinar si tales usos son relativamente recientes o tienen sus raíces en el habla madrileña de siglos anteriores. Esto es posible gracias al uso de fuentes que atestigüen los empleos de las clases populares: peticiones a las instituciones benéficas y otros escritos. Entre los rasgos encontrados en el consonantismo, el más sorprendente es el indicio gráfico de seseo, documentado en los ss. xvi-xix. La documentación de estos y otros fenómenos avanzados en la escritura del estrato popular y medio, y no solo en la localidad de Madrid, sino incluso en zonas rurales, obliga a replantear la posición histórica del consonantismo madrileño.

Resumen: En este trabajo se pretende contribuir al estudio del neutro de materia en la lengua asturiana desde una perspectiva diacrónica, a partir del análisis de una serie de ejemplos extraídos de los Libros de los Expósitos del Real Hospicio de Uviéu. Estos libros, escritos en castellano aunque con numerosas interferencias del asturiano, registran la información relativa a cada niño que se abandonaba en la institución y proporcionan un gran número de casos en que se expresa la diferencia semántica entre la continuidad y la discontinuidad del sustantivo mediante la concordancia de “neutro”. Se realiza un estudio morfosintáctico de los ejemplos comprendidos entre los años 1752 y 1799 que muestra una preferencia de uso de este tipo de concordancia con adjetivos en función nominal.

El objetivo de este artículo se centra en estudiar cómo se codifican los actos de habla directivos en contextos negociadores desde el punto de vista lingüístico. El estado de la cuestión parte de la teoría de los actos de habla ideada por Austin (1962) y Searle (1969 y 1975). El corpus analizado está compuesto por cinco mediaciones laborales celebradas en Almería (España) entre los años 2003 y 2006. Desde el perfil cuantitativo, destaca el elevado empleo del imperativo, que representa el 41.9 % de los actos de habla directivos presentes en el corpus. Además, también el uso del imperativo es reseñable desde la perspectiva cualitativa, porque el enfoque pragmático demuestra que el contexto resulta determinante para valorar si los actos de habla realzan o dañan la imagen del receptor, a pesar de que el enunciado elegido esté asociado tradicionalmente a formas corteses o descorteses.
