Summary: This paper aims to explore the relationships between poetry and music and propose a systematic model to deal with the different forms of poetry in contemporary popular songs. The paper examines three phenomena: considering lyrics as poetry, the presence of previous poems in songs, and the reception of non-poetic texts transformed into songs. It also highlights other related issues, such as the conflicting notion of authorship in the transition from literature to song and the importance of performance in constructing literary meaning. The use of intermediality as a tool of power is also discussed.

Summary: "Las paredes oyen" by Juan Ruiz de Alarcon is an exceptional comedy that captures the experience of living with a physically marked body from the perspective of a disabled author. However, cultural and social attitudes have prevented the staging of the main character, Don Juan, with physical marks from the play's first staging in 1618 until the late twentieth century. This article reconstructs the historical staging of "Las paredes oyen" from 1829 to 1975 in continental Europe, Mexico, and Canada, and discusses the reasons behind not portraying Don Juan's body as deviant in each production during this period.

Summary: In certain dialects of Catalan, Valencian, and Occitan, inflectional exponents from the imperfect subjunctive form are analogically extended into the first and second person plural present subjunctive forms, causing syncretism between present and imperfect subjunctive forms for those persons. The consistent nature of these extensions suggests a change driven by the structure of inflectional paradigm in these dialects. This development leads to a greater predictability of inflected forms through the alignment of stem allomorphs and stress placement, in line with a general Romance tendency for analogical remodelling of first and second person plural forms.
