How do university students ask GenAI to revise or proofread a text? A framework for analysing prompting strategies
As the presence of Generative AI (GenAI) becomes ever more widespread in higher education, there is an increasing need to understand how students are actually using it during their studies. This paper focuses on the structure and language of prompts employed by students when using GenAI to revise texts they have written, a common, if not universally accepted, use of the technology. Based on an analysis of a dataset of students' interactions with …
Multilingualism and English
This study investigates attitudes towards multilingualism and the role of English at the trilingual Free University of Bozen-Bolzano in South Tyrol, Italy. South Tyrol is unusual in that the local minority language, German, holds significant international prestige. This study thus contributes to the literature by filling a gap in studies examining multilingual contexts where the minority language is an important international language beyond the …
English at the trilingual Free University of Bozen-Bolzano
The increasing use of English in higher education around the world has prompted a large amount of research into the causes, effects and perceptions of this phenomenon, particularly relating to the introduction of English-medium instruction. While most previous research has focussed on institutions that have effectively ‘added’ English to existing teaching programmes, this paper investigates attitudes towards and experience of the presence and use…
Cross-linguistic influence in non-native languages
The focus of this research is on the nature of lexical cross-linguistic influence (CLI) between non-native languages. Using oral interviews with 157 L1 Italian high-school students studying English and German as non-native languages, the project investigated which kinds of lexis appear to be more susceptible to transfer from German to English and discusses this is in the light of multilingual language production models. The results suggest that C…
Political Succession in the Late Republic (249–50 Bc)
INTRODUCTION When Julius Caeser was thinking of setting himself up as king of Rome, or so rumour had it, Brutus was repeatedly reminded by graffiti scrawled on his tribunal: ‘Brutus are you asleep?’ and ‘You are no true Brutus.’ These slogans recalled the deeds of his distant ancestor, who over four hundred years previously had killed the last king of Rome. In ad 22, Brutus' sister Junia, the widow of Cassius (the other leading assassin of Caesar…
Ambition and Withdrawal
INTRODUCTION The imposition of monarchy changed Roman political culture but to a remarkable extent preserved the existing political structure. The first emperor, Augustus (31 bc – ad 14), boasted that he had restored the Republic. This was partly propaganda designed to legitimate his reign, and to obscure his innovations. There was also some truth in it. But why did a monarch restore the Republican constitution? One partial answer is that the oli…
