TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of the 62 universities in Ecuador that are in the web ranking of universities, in order to evaluate the use of digital media and obtain information on the management of university e-branding.
Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the 62 universities in Ecuador that are in the web ranking of universities, in order to evaluate the use of digital media and obtain information on the management of university e-branding. The study explores, to a large extent, the digital variables currently used for broadcasting and we include the resources of two indexed databases as a dissemination flow. All this data has been analyzed through statistics and web performance tools. The results indicate the universities in Ecuador do not present a clear use of the academic e-branding as a strategy of dissemination, exposure, and visibility improvement to increase their ranking level. However, it is clear that some have demonstrated the relevance of the uses of these systems to improve their worldwide level spread.

TL;DR: Impersonal pronouns are pervasive in the world's languages; boundaries between personal and impersonal paradigms are porous as mentioned in this paper, thus, in many languages, 2nd-person pronouns can be impersonal (i), and vary under the influence of quantificational adverbs like always and rarely.

TL;DR: Les Ecrits indiscrets as discussed by the authors is a collection of essays written by Diderot in the early 1770s, with the aim of revisiting l'œuvre d'un point de vue a la fois intime et speculaire, montrant comment l’ecrivain y fait volontiers intervenir son propre personnage sur un mode scientifique.
Abstract: Notre inedit d’HDR, intitule Les Ecrits indiscrets. Autorepresentation et formes de l’ecriture de soi dans l’œuvre de Diderot, envisage les formes diverses de l’apparition du biographeme (selon la definition de Roland Barthes) tant par sa manifestation a la premiere personne, que selon les formes et les genres varies de l’ecriture diderotienne (le discours, la lettre, le recit, le drame...) aux fins d’une lecture intimiste. Elle s’attarde ensuite sur deux œuvres singulieres dont les accents particulierement personnels, selon nous, meritent d’etre relus sur le mode d’une extreme attention a l’expression du « je » : il s’agit de La Religieuse (1760) et de l’Eloge de Richardson (1762), l’une inspiree par le grand romancier anglais, l’autre ecrite en son hommage. Toutes deux, redigees dans la periode la plus douloureuse de la vie de l’ecrivain, quand le souvenir du conflit familial s’aggrave de la mort du pere (ete 1759) et de la crise d’identite litteraire (censure de l’Encyclopedie, echec du theâtre), nous apparaissent comme des moments de compensation affective tres intenses par l’ecriture, par le biais de strategies de publication fort differentes l’une de l’autre. Notre reflexion montre enfin comment la fiction etant momentanement abandonnee, cette ecriture du sensible se reporte et se reinvestit de facon empirique dans la correspondance intime (principalement avec Sophie Volland), promue creuset cathartique de l’emotion, puis dans les Salons, selon un phenomene de « vases communicants » en vertu duquel ce qui ne peut plus se dire a l’amie, peut se dire a l’ami (Grimm, destinataire de ces textes de critique esthetique), et ce a travers des scenes ou des tableaux scenarises par l’inconscient. Accessoirement, un « epilogue » centre sur les « fictions langroises » fournit des pistes d’etudes orientees autour des annees 1770, quand un ultime voyage en terre paternelle non seulement libere l’affect du sujet, mais encore fertilise l’imaginaire de l’ecrivain et donne en peu de temps ce faisceau d’ecrits caracterises par une serenite nostalgique, via des espaces esthetiques jusqu’ici encore inexplores : le conte populaire, l’entretien philosophique « autobiographique », le recit de voyage, l’idylle portee au theâtre... et marquent une evolution remarquable, quoique non definitive, de l’œuvre poetique. Cet itineraire permet de revisiter l’œuvre d’un point de vue a la fois intime et speculaire, montrant comment l’ecrivain y fait volontiers intervenir son propre personnage sur un mode scientifique, engage et investi (se prenant, par principe et par methode, frequemment pour objet de son etude) ; mais aussi dans une intention therapeutique (ayant ressenti les bienfaits introspectifs d’une ecriture de « proximite ») ; enfin de facon esthetique, designant in fine ce personnage devenu familier a son lecteur et a lui-meme, comme bon genie du lieu et figure recurrente d’un univers eclate auquel il s’efforce de donner sa coherence.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the interaction of pragmatic (indexical) norms for contextualizing language and the local culture's ethno-metapragmatics determines the equivalent of what Western e.g. e.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that the comprehension of qualitatively different agreement patterns, which could reflect the performance of different processing routines, recruits different neural generators.
Abstract: Agreement is one of the main devices used by languages to signal grammatical relations. In this study, we investigated the neurophysiological processing correlates of subject-verb agreement in Spanish using Unagreement, a phenomenon characterized by a person mismatch between subject and verb that nonetheless produces a grammatical pattern. Unagreement was compared to well-formed sentences with full agreement, and ill-formed sentences with a person mismatch. Compared to control sentences, Unagreement produced a left posterior negativity followed by a more central negativity; no P600 effect was observed. In contrast, person violations generated a negativity that was widely distributed over the scalp, followed by a P600 effect. These data suggest that the comprehension of qualitatively different agreement patterns, which could reflect the performance of different processing routines, recruits different neural generators.
