Abstract: This article deals with the presence on the Catalan stage of different versions showing a contrast of linguistic registers which contravene official language norms. The versions analysed are two theatre plays belonging to widely differing historical and socio-political contexts: Joan Oliver’s rendering (1957) of G.B. Shaw’s Pygmalion, and Joan Sellent’s version (2014) of Brian Friel’s Translations. Affinities and divergences are highlighted, both with regard to choice of linguistic material and to dramaturgical and ideological goals.The frequent violation by both versions of the norms established by the Secció Filològica de l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans is ultimately intended to vindicate the genuine character, expressive force and dramatic effectiveness of a set of linguistic options that official norms are unwilling to accept.Key words: translation for the theatre, grammatical norms, registers, genuineness, expressive adequacy vs. adjustment to norms.

Abstract

International audience; Increasing vulnerability of transistors and interconnects due to CMOS technology scaling is continuously challenging the reliability of future electronic circuits and systems. Lifetime reliability is gaining attention over performance as a design factor even for lower-end commodity applications. In this paper we propose an effective hybrid fault-tolerant architecture able to deal with permanent and transient faults in combinational parts of pipelined cores. The principle consists in triplicating the combinational logic parts but, unlike TMR, only two copies run in parallel while the third one remains in standby until an error is detected. We have implemented this approach on a MIPS microprocessor as case study. Experiments show that our approach is comparable to TMR in terms of area with a notable power saving and offers a full protection against transient and permanent faults.
