Similarities And Differences

In this article, we conduct a comparative analysis of the category of verbal aspect in the Russian and Spanish languages. We assume that a comparative analysis of linguistic phenomena in different languages is important in teaching Russian as a foreign language, since taking into account the students’ native language makes it easier to teach certain linguistic features when such features are identical in two languages. At the same time, it helps students avoid negative linguistic interference, which is the cause of many typical errors. The relevance of this topic is due to the constant increase in the number of Spanish-speaking students coming to study at preparatory faculties for foreign citizens at Russian universities. The topic Verbal Aspects is one of the most difficult ones to understand for foreigners, including those who speak Spanish. First of all, it is due to the peculiarities of the use and perception of this category in the students’ native language. The purpose of this article is to identify the peculiar features of conveying aspectual meanings, the similarities and differences in the use of the category of verbal aspect in both languages in order to subsequently develop ethno-oriented exercises for Spanish-speaking students, as well as to develop recommendations for providing ethno-oriented materials for a Hispanic audience. The following research methods are used in the article: the method of systemic-functional analysis, the method of complex theoretical analysis of the phenomenon under study, the method of comparative analysis that allows us to observe similarities and differences in the grammatical category of verbal aspect in Russian and in Spanish. In this article, we analyzed three possible ways for conveying Russian verbal aspects in Spanish: lexical, peripheral and morphological. However, if in Russian it may be enough to replace an imperfective verb with a perfective verb in order to change the meaning of a sentence, then in Spanish the structure of the entire sentence often changes. Thus, we cannot talk about the existence of a Spanish grammatical category analogous to the verbal aspect in the Russian language. The analysis will help us take into account the difficulties and cases of negative linguistic interference faced by Spanish-speaking students when studying the Russian verbal aspects, and create ethno-oriented exercises aimed at minimizing the students’ errors.

Abstract Objective The Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM) is among the most widely used performance validity tests (PVTs) in neuropsychology. Despite abundant support documenting its sensitivity and specificity in the detection of invalid performance, most research has occurred among English-speaking, North-American samples. Studies conducted with Spanish-speaking samples in Latin America found associations between education and TOMM performance, though more mixed results in the United States with Hispanic/Latino samples have emerged due to the challenges that bilingualism, acculturation, and heterogeneity of the population pose to an already challenging area of measurement. Due to the pivotal role that PVTs play in clinical diagnoses and legal cases, it is critical that studies begin to broaden their scope and examine their variables cross-culturally. This study investigated the effects of age, education, and cognitive impairment on TOMM Trial 2 performance in a first-generation, monolingual Spanish speaking, Latino sample. Participants and Method The sample consisted of 26 first-generation Latino adults, 14 women and 12 men, Mean age = 57.11 (SD = 11.99); Mean education = 7.69 years (SD = 4.14), who underwent outpatient neuropsychological evaluation that included administration of the TOMM. 4 with invalid performances were excluded. Of the remaining 26, 9 were cognitively intact and 17 met criteria for a neurocognitive disorder. Results A combined linear regression analysis showed that age, education, and cognitive impairment status did not account for a significant portion of the variance in TOMM Trial 2 scores (R2 = 1.70; p = .283). Similarly, analysis of variance (ANOVA) found no significant differences between impaired (M = 46.68; SD = 5.78) and unimpaired (M = 46.50; SD = 6.09) patients (p = .942). Conclusions Results suggested that age, level of education, or cognitive impairment do not have a significant effect on TOMM Trial 2 performance in a sample of first-generation Latinos.

The research is dedicated to studying the clinical, neurophysiological, neuroimaging, neuropsychological, immunopathological manifestations of MS on the background of comorbid pathology, evaluation of complex treatment.The features of the manifestations of fatigue, depression, pain, cognitive impairment, sleep disorders in patients with MS based on comorbidity and impact of violations on the quality of life. On the basis of the study of risk factors, the analysis revealed the features of development of MS in conditions of comorbid pathology. Based on the factors studied, a pathogenetic model of the character of the effect of comorbidity on the course of MS with regard to prognostic signs for clinical, psychoemotional, neurophysiological and neuroimaging indicators has been created, and it is possible to individually assess the risk of development and progression of MS. Efficacy and comparative analysis of the use of complex (medicaments and non-medicaments) treatment was revealed, the frequency of exacerbations decreased and the effect on the course of the disease with MS taking into account the comorbid pathology and heterogeneity of clinical-neurological and psychoemotional disorders, clinical, neuropsychological, neuroimaging, neuroimaging signs of disease activity.

‘The fatal fact of the woman writer’ is a phrase coined by the Argentine author Alberto Pineta in the late 1920s, a time marked by women’s growing presence in the cultural sphere. On both sides of the Atlantic, women expressed an acute interest in the avant-garde literary culture and faced similar challenges in their attempt to negotiate their place in the literary field. By considering Spanish-speaking women as mediators across cultural and geographical borders, this study seeks to move beyond the concepts of ‘centre’ and ‘periphery’ in order to rethink the avant-garde as a transnational and multifaceted phenomenon. To explore the intertwined trajectories of Gabriela Mistral, Alfonsina Storni and Ernestina de Champourcín, this study examines their literary activities in Madrid and provides a comparative analysis of the avant-garde themes that recur in their poetry. Special focus is set on the transnational processes that shaped their work and allowed them to assert their identity as female writers and poets.
