The concept of autonomy is indispensable in the history of Western thought. At least that’s how it seems to us nowadays. However, the notion has not always had the outstanding significance that we ascribe to it today and its exact meaning has also changed considerably over time. In this paper, we want to shed light on different understandings of autonomy and clearly distinguish them from each other. Our main aim is to contribute to conceptual clarity in (interdisciplinary) discourses and to point out possible pitfalls of conceptual pluralism.

Reflexión extensa y continuas relecturas exigen los poemas del Romancero gitano de Federico García Lorca y, en concreto, el de «La casada infiel», perfecto ejemplo de intertextualidad que pone de manifiesto esa labor de recuperación y actualización de temas y formas de la literatura popular por parte de muchos poetas del grupo poético del 27. En este artículo nos centraremos en dos aspectos: por un lado, analizaremos el texto como un posible caso de glosa y, por otro lado, examinaremos el tema como una original muestra de continuidad de la tradición poética peninsular.

Hearing loss is one of the most common somatic-functional impairments (Horáková, 2012). Because hearing perception is key to the development of the spoken language, children with hearing impairments are in the care of clinicians - Speech-Language Pathologists or Special Educators - Speech Therapists/Deaf Educators. This article aims to offer insight into the specifics of the job of a Speech Therapist/Deaf Educator with children with severe hearing impairments. From this group, we then separate the category of children operated on with cochlear implants. This is dealt with in a specific chapter.

There is a growing body of research on variability in the early development of biological knowledge. Most of the studies focus on the variability related to culture and direct exposure to nature, however, there is also data suggesting that parental input plays an important role. In children’s first years of life, parents play a key role in scaffolding development. It is therefore very important to provide a detailed account of how parents contribute to children’s understanding of living things, and how they convey biological knowledge through everyday conversations. The present article provides a review of the literature on variability in biological knowledge and parent-child conversations about biological kinds. It also presents original data from parent-child interactions while viewing picture books. Eighteen parent-child dyads who differed in the level of parental expertise within biology, talked while viewing books containing 24 photographs of animals and plants. The speech analysis specified labeling, perceptual and conceptual descriptions, relational, and mentalistic talk. Parents also completed a questionnaire on the child’s interests. The results showed that biology expert families produced more content overall, and a higher proportion of relational content than lay families. The findings help elucidate the specific role parents have in shaping children’s early biological understanding. In particular, I discuss the role of relational language in shaping children’s ontological commitments.
