(specific) range / situation Explanation: Without more context, it's hard to know the best term to use - but it literally means vocal range (see below). Maybe 'range' would fit here? Or maybe even 'situation'?

peer agreement (net): +1specific range (or tessitura) OR "to reflect on the specific range of communities that exist in Cata Explanation: Literally "specific range (or tessitura)". The meaning doesn't seem very clear, but the author may mean something like "to reflect on the specific range of communities that exist in Catalonia" (i.e., the theories and "treballs"). tessitura [de l'it. tessitura 'teixidura; to de la veu o un instrument'] f MÚS 1 Extensió de les notes que pot cobrir un determinat tipus de veu amb facilitat. 2 p ext Extensió de les notes emprades més sovint en una peça o un fragment musical i que constitueixen una mena d'extensió mitjana. tessitura: Definition from Answers.com tessitura n. The prevailing range of a vocal or instrumental part, within which most of the tones lie. www.answers.com/topic/tessitura - 51k - Cached - Similar pages - -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2008-12-08 13:46:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The SPANISH definition is as follows: tesitura. (Del it. tessitura). 1. f. Actitud o disposición del ánimo. 2. f. Mús. Altura propia de cada voz o de cada instrumento. It's interesting that the Catalan dictionary doesn't include meaning 1 above. I suppose it could be that: 1. The Catalan dictionary doesn't reflect all the the ways the word is used. 2. The author is misusing the word based on meaning 1 in Spanish. This raises the possibility that the intended meaning could also be "the specific attitude towards community in Catalonia". More context might help (or a talk with the author of the text!). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2008-12-08 13:49:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- FYI, "tessitura" is a word in English too: tessitura /tessityoor/ • noun Music the range within which most notes of a vocal part fall. — ORIGIN Italian, ‘texture’. |
