Sobre la cantidad silábica y su importancia para el estudio de la evolución histórica del acento no verbal en la transición del latín al español by Fernando Martínez-Gil

“…Este trabajo tiene dos metas principales: a) presentar evidencia diacrónica de que la cantidad silábica ha estado activa en toda la evolución histórica del español; y b) demostrar que la interdependencia entre el peso de la penúltima sílaba y el locus del acento, ya presente en latín, continuó siendo un factor determinante en la asignación del acento no verbal desde el período formativo hasta la apocope medieval, en que el acento oxítono quedó condicionado por una sílaba final pesada, estableciéndose así la pauta característica del acento nominal no marcado en el español actual. …”

Legal Transplants, Legal Survivals, and Legal Revivals: Towards a Reconceptualisation of The Circulation of Legal Forms in Time and Space by Rafał Mańko

“…However, his notion of a legal transplant conflates two quite different realities: on the one hand, the borrowing of legal forms from other, simultaneously existing legal systems (such as the transplant of the Swiss Civil Code to Atatürk’s Turkey) and, on the other hand, the rediscovery of old legal forms and their “borrowing” from long defunct legal systems (such as the rediscovery of Justinian’s Corpus Iuris Civilis by medieval lawyers in Western Europe, and the infusion of Roman ideas about contract law into existing customary rules). …”

“…IV, Chapter IV, §11).I shall strive to define in this paper some of the implications of the act of vision according to Ruskin, wondering about differences in effect and form for instance, and seeking their causes; I will attempt to show how some of the obstacles which can actually hamper human sight turn out to be eminently positive for Ruskin, giving birth to the main arguments of his belief in the superiority of Medieval art over Renaissance art. Ruskin’s defence of imperfection thus appears to be closely linked to natural perceptual aberration.…”
