A la leona Patata Peluda le está encantando una superheroína que ha descubierto. Tiene menos pretensiones que los de Marvel pero es más divertida y sin duda sus aventuras son más variadas: ¡la Hormiga Miga! Así que este segundo libro se lo contó a su amiga el león Patata Pistacho y ¡ha venido hoy a charlar! Y eso, que nos han contado de sus viajes por Japón, China, Australia y como llegó a estos…

Sorry if you've been asked this before, but I couldn't find any posts about it. What are Catalan movies you'd recommend? Not matter if there is a translation or not

Salvador (Puig Antich) (2006), dir. Manuel Huerga. (In Catalan and Spanish). A real story about the events that led to the execution of Salvador Puig Antich, a young Catalan anarchist who was the last political prisoner sentenced to death by the Francoist dictatorship, in 1974. (Available on Filmin).

Herois [Heroes] (2010), dir. Pau Freixas. The protagonist remembers the best summer of his childhood, with a plot that runs parallel to her present. A beautiful and nostalgic film about friendship, adventure, first love, and memories that can move you to affect the present. (Available on Prime Video and Filmin).

Pa negre [Black Bread] (2010), dir. Agustí Villaronga. Cinema adaptation of best-selling books by Emili Teixidor, it starts with a murder. From there, it's a dark drama and mystery story that focuses on the relations between family members in a village in 1940, the post-war period, through the eyes of a child. (Available on Filmin).

Fènix 11·23 (2012), dir. Joel Joan. This drama movie tells the real story of Èric Bertran, a 14-year-old Catalan boy who was arrested for terrorism for having sent an email in 2004. (Available on Filmin, can be rented on AppleTV).

Barcelona, nit d'estiu [Barcelona, summer night] (2013), dir. Dani de la Orden. Romantic comedy of six love stories that meet on a summer night. It was very successful and has a sequel called Barcelona, nit d'hivern [Barcelona, winter night] (2015). (Available for free on RTVE Play).

El mètode Grönholm [The Grönholm Method] (2015). TV movie adaptation of a comedy theatre play, a group of aspirants meet for a job interview but are asked to do very unconventional things. As time goes on, they see that maybe there were more secrets between the characters than there seemed. It's funny and unexpected. (Available for free on TV3 a la carta).

Incerta Glòria [Uncertain Glory] (2017), dir. Agustí Villaronga. Cinema adaptation of the best-seller book by Joan Sales, it's the story of three friends who fought against Franco in the Spanish Civil War and who are in love with the same woman. (Available on Netflix).

Estiu 1993 [Summer 1993] (2017), dir. Carla Simón. A 6-year-old girl has to move in with her aunt, uncle and cousin after her parents die. Even though she is welcomed and treated well, she has difficulty adapting to her new life. This is an artistic film that was even selected for the Oscars, but be aware that it's one of the most "European artsy cinema"-style ones here. (Available for free under the Spanish name "Verano 1993" on RTVE Play).

Jean-François i el sentit de la vida [Jean-François and the Meaning of Life] (2018), dir. Sergi Portabella. A lonely 13-year-old boy finds a copy of The Myth of Sisyphus by the French philosopher Albert Camus and decides to run away to Paris to meet him, not knowing he's dead. On the way, he meets a girl who will accept to run away with him but has her own motives. (Available on Filmin and for free on RTVE Play).

El nom [The Name] (2018), dir. Joel Joan. Movie adaptation of a comedy theatre play, five friends meet for dinner and talk about two of them who will soon have a child. The witty chatter becomes a fight when the father-to-be says the child will be called "Adolf, like that man with the moustache". (Available for free on TV3 a la carta).

La vampira de Barcelona [The Barcelona Vampiress] (2020), dir. Lluís Danés. A dark story once again based on a real one. In the early 20th-century Barcelona, the investigation on a mentally-unstable woman accused of kidnapping children to sell them or harvest their organs will take a journalist through the poorest streets, brothels and secrets of the Raval quarter. (TW for child abuse & sexual assault. Not a happy film but it's worth watching). (Available on Movistar+).

Alcarràs (2022), dir. Carla Simón. Filmed not with professional actors but with the real inhabitants of Alcarràs whose story is being told, this film shows the story of a family of farmers. After generations of working the same fields, they are told they must leave because the land will be confiscated to install solar panels. A realistic rural drama about the loss of agriculture, based on the real experiences of rural people in Western Catalonia. This film has received many international awards and won the Berlinale Film Festival, but once again be aware it's probably the most "European artistic cinema" film of this list. (Can be rented on many services).

I've added what streaming platform they're in for an international audience (though sometimes it changes country to country), but if you have a library card from Catalonia they're available for free on the digital platform ebibliocat.efilm.info.

En junio de 1964 la revista Oriflama publicaba la fotonovela "La Núria es perd" interpretada por Núria Espert, Enric Sió y Carles Velat, con guión y dirección de Emili Teixidor, fotografía de J. M° Puig y montaje de Enric Sió.

First of all, happy birthday!!! Secondly, what did barca do now? *big sigh*

Thank you very much! In nutshell there is a mess in Barça board. Apparently Bartomeu wanted to fire some members of board so they quit. Emili Rousand who was believe to be current board candidate for next election, also quit and later went to press to criticise Bartomeu and accused club of corruption, quoting PwC audit (he claimed that Barça was paying more than they should for some invoices including invoices from Barçagate) . He also went to El Chiringuito (wtf). For me he's trying to show that he's not involved in it but he was member of board so I don't belive him. Other board member, who also quit, Maria Teixidor (she's the main reason why Barca female team is so good, she made a wonderful job, I hope she will come back soon) distanced herself from his comment. PwC issued a statement that audit about Barçagate isn't ended so they can't give any outcome. Newspaper Sport posted some leaks from PwC report. (That seem to confirm some of Rousand, but it's still unknown when they report will be completed due to coronavirus) https://www.sport.es/en/news/barca/sport-exclusive-pwc-will-reveal-the-deal-with-i3-ventures-was-too-expensive-and-invoices-were-destroyed-7925068 Obviously I didn't include all details because the story is too messy.

ABSTRACT:

Figurative language poses a serious challenge to NLP systems. The use of idiomatic and metaphoric expressions is not only extremely widespread in natural language; many figurative expressions, in particular idioms, also behave idiosyncratically. These idiosyncrasies are not restricted to a non-compositional meaning but often also extend to syntactic properties, selectional preferences etc. To deal appropriately with such expressions, NLP tools need to detect figurative language and assign the correct analyses to non-literal expressions.

While there has been quite a bit of work on determining the general 'idiomaticity' of an expression (type-based approaches), this only solves part of the problem as  many expressions, such as "break the ice"

or "play with fire", can also have a literal, perfectly compositional meaning (e.g. "break the ice on the duck pond"). Such expressions have to be disambiguated in context (token-based approaches). Token-based approaches have received increased attention recently. In this talk, I will present an unsupervised method for token-based idiom detection. The method exploits the fact that well-formed texts exhibit lexical cohesion, i.e. words are semantically related to  other words in the context.

‘why, how .....’ 

Any theory of dialogue must account for the construction and maintenance of 'common ground', the set of propositions mutually taken for granted by the interlocutors. A basic issue is to tell apart accepted propositions from rejected ones. I will discuss recent work (joint with Raquel Fernandez) on the problem of rejection detection. Our work focusses on contextual aspects, i.e., situations where acceptance and rejection can only be separated by looking at a wider segment of the dialogue. The talk will include short primers on the semantic/pragmatic foundations of this area of research.

Abstract:

Dependency Minimal Recursion Semantics (DMRS) is designed to combine the expressivity of a logical representation with tractability in applications.  I will outline some of the uses we have been making of DMRS, concentrating in particular on models of distributional semantics where DMRS provides compositional structure.  I'll go on to talk about ongoing work on DMRS composition, where the objective is to model constraints on the syntax-semantic interface as local violations of isomorphism between syntactic and semantic dependencies.

Agustí Villaronga’s predominantly Catalan-language film Pa Negre [Black Bread] (2010) acclaimed within Spain and internationally, tells the story of one boy’s attempts to understand the dark and often violent world surrounding him in rural Catalonia in the post-Civil War era. The film, adapted from the 2003 novel by Emili Teixidor, deals with the loss of innocence, loss of ideals, and the eventual loss of the protagonist’s childhood self.

The majority of the dialogue is in Catalan, with occasional scenes featuring Spanish. This paper will examine the role of language, and specifically of the shifts between Catalan and Spanish, in establishing the film’s themes and characterisation. With reference to the English subtitled version, I will discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of various subtitling strategies for bringing these themes to light in translation.

Officiel : le Barça nomme Jaume Carreter Felip au Conseil d’Administration

Malgré l’arrêt du football en Espagne depuis le 12 mars dernier, le FC Barcelone ne cesse de s’agiter en coulisses. Récemment, Josep Maria Bartomeu a notamment demandé à ce que six dirigeants de l’écurie catalane démissionnent. Et le patron du club culé a eu gain de cause puisque Emili Rousaud, Enrique Tombas, Silvio Elías, Josep Pont, Maria Teixidor et Jordi Calsamiglia ont démissionné, tout en…

Barcelona to take legal action against ex-vice president Rousaud after he alleged a Top Board Member was using club funds to enrich himself Barcelona football club of Spain has announced it will proceed with legal actions against former Vice-President Emili Rousaud after he alleged in an interview that one of the club's executives was using club funds to line his own pockets. Rousaud, was one of the Barcelona board members seen as a successor to Barca president Josep Bartomeu (pictured above) but Bartomeu informed him alongside several other members that they will have no part to play in the new-look team of directors. Alongside Rousaud, Bartomeu informed vice president Enrique Tombas and directors Silvio Elias, Maria Teixidor, Josep Pont and Jordi Clasamiglia that they will have to resign. Bartomeu's move came after a year of scandals that faced the Barca team and board members. Reports emerged alleging that the club board hired a social media firm to criticize players to boost Bartomeu's reputation as the person not behind Barca's on and off the pitch problems while a Lionel Messi and Eric Abidal ( a former player and current club official) blasted each other on social media. The club's directors ousted by Bartomeu said the club leadership had to be reviewed if the club was to move forward. … .

De Salses a Guardamar i de Fraga a l’Alguer: les comarques de parla catalana una a una. 22/88: Osona (Central Catalonia).

Osona is a district whose capital city is Vic. This city was already important in Ancient Roman times (nowadays there’s still a Roman temple standing) when it was called Ausa. In the 8th and 9th centuries, it was part of the border that separated the Frankish Christian kingdom in the north from the Muslim caliphate in the south. In the year 788, the city was destroyed in a Muslim attack and only one quarter survived: one Vicus. It started to be called Vicus Ausonensis (Ausa’s quarter). With time, the Latin word for “quarter” (Vicus) became the name of the city.

Many famous people from Catalan culture are from Osona. For example, the famous poets and writers Jacint Verdaguer, Miquel Martí i Pol, Emili Teixidor, Maria Àngels Anglada, Segimon Serrallonga; the bands Sau and Esquirols; the musicians Rafael Subirachs, Quimi Portet and Pep Sala; the illustrator Pilarín Bayés; the urbanist Ildefons Cerdà, among others.

Bartomeu y su hoja de ruta

La dimisión de seis directivos del FC Barcelona en pocos días obligará al presidente, Josep Maria Bartomeu, a nombrar a un nuevo miembro del equipo dirigente, tal y como determinan los Estatutos de la entidad azulgrana.

Esta es la hoja de ruta inmediata

14 consejeros leve

Según el artículo 33 de los Estatutos del FC Barcelona, la composición de la articulación directiva debe ser de 14 miembros. Con la marcha de Emili Rousaud, Enric Tombas, Sílvio Elías, Josep Pont, Maria Teixidor y Jordi Calsamiglia, el equipo directivo ha quedado en 13.

¿Habrá dimisiones?

Todo apunta a que no. Los seis dimisionarios han anunciado su renuncia en agrupación para que no se produjera un reguero de dimisiones y que ello perjudicara al club, pero los motivos son diferentes. Rousaud cargó en dirección a Bartomeu por el caso ‘Barçagate’, mientras que Calsamiglia y Teixidor se han desmarcado rápidamente.

El ‘Barcagate’

Los periodistas Adriá Soldevila y Sergi Escudero destaparon este caso, que se refiere a la presunta utilización de una empresa (I3 Ventures) para influir negativamente en el prestigio en las redes sociales de jugadores, exjugadores y parte del entorno del club sin conocimiento de parte de la directiva, lo cual ha motivado una investigación de PriceeWaterhouse&Coopers (PWC)

La auditoría

Después de esa investigación independiente, en el club están esperando los resultados de la misma para tomar decisiones. La única conocida que se anunció fue la suspensión de empleo y sueldo de Jaume Masferrer, director del gobierno del presidente.

¿Por qué no ayer?

Los pagos inferiores a 200.000 euros no tienen que ser aprobados por la articulación directiva. Existe la sospecha de que se han realizado cinco que no llegan a esa cantidad en este caso.

Nuevas elecciones

Bartomeu no piensa convocar elecciones adelantadas. Su cargo y el de su articulación directiva vencen en el verano de 2021 y quiere mantenerse en él hasta entonces, especialmente en un periodo tan convulso como éste a causa de la pandemia por Covid-19 que está asolando al mundo en caudillo.

Los siguientes pasos

El presidente de la entidad catalana convocará una reunión telemática de todo su equipo directivo seguramente para el martes (la etapa de mañana es festivo en Cataluña) para arriesgarse el entrada de nuevos componentes del equipo dirigente, así como para establecer la nueva composición de las diferentes comisiones y de la Comisión Delegada.

Esta es la hoja de ruta del mandatario blaugrana. Es evidente que está atravesando, posiblemente, su peor momento desde que llegó a la presidencia del club, pero asimismo parece con experiencia para ‘manejarlo’.
