Introduction à la linguistique contemporaine - 4e éd.
La linguistique est la discipline qui a eu le plus d’influence sur le développement des sciences humaines au XXe siècle bien que son importance ait diminué au cours de ces dernières décennies, de par l’émergence de paradigmes scientifiques nouveaux (sciences cognitives, neurosciences) et l’abandon progressif de la coupure entre sciences de la nature et sciences humaines.
Introduction à la linguistique contemporaine
Cette introduction aux théories et aux domaines de la linguistique allie les acquis de la linguistique structurale aux hypothèses de la syntaxe et de la sémantique formelles, ainsi qu'à la pragmatique.
Prosody and Iconicity
The contributions to this volume focus on the interrelation between prosody and iconicity and shed new light on the topic by enlarging the number of parameters traditionally considered, and by confronting various theoretical backgrounds. The parameters taken into account include socio-linguistic criteria (age, sex, socio-economic category, region); different kinds of speech situation; affect (attitudes and emotions); gestures; morpho-syntactic constraints. The analysis is pursued in theoretical frameworks such as Information Structure theory, Grice's theory, Relevance theory, experiential blending, Gussenhoven's biological codes, prosodic modelling, automatic detection. The languages covered include English, French, Italian, Swedish, Egyptian Arabic, and Majorcan Catalan. The book will be of great interest to linguists working on prosody.
Faire, montrer, dire
Partant d'une définition de la pragmatique comparée comme étude de la manière dont chaque système linguistique contraint et représente sa propre mise en oeuvre dans l'énonciation, l'ouvrage propose un premier examen comparatif de différents types de marques à fonction pragmatique en français et en chinois: verbes d'activité de parole et performatifs, connecteurs pragmatiques, modalisateurs d'énonciation. Cette comparaison fait apparaître en chinois un effacement énonciatif que ne connaît pas le français. Dans un second temps, l'ouvrage applique le «modèle genevois» d'analyse du discours à divers types de productions discursives authentiques en chinois, mettant ainsi simultanément en évidence la validité du modèle pour l'observation de discours dans d'autres langues que le français, et l'existence de structures discursives particulières répondant, notamment, à des nécessités linguistiques. Enfin, les systèmes linguistiques observés évoluant dans des univers culturels distincts, l'ouvrage concerne, en arrière-plan, le contact entre ces cultures et les modalités de leur (re)connaissance mutuelle.
Speech and Language Engineering
Efficient processing of speech and language is required at all levels in the design of human-computer interfaces. In this perspective, the book provides a global understanding of the required theoretical foundations, as well as practical examples of successful applications, in the area of human-language technology. The authors start from acoustic signal processing to pragmatics, covering all the important aspects of speech and language processing such as phonetics, morphology, syntax and semantics.
New Perspectives on Historical Latin Syntax
TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes, which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.
The Grammar of Genres and Styles
The book provides new findings about the grammar of genres and styles. It combines new methods with different kinds of empirical material, from social reports to live TV sports commentaries or 16th century newspapers, in English, French, Latin and Spanish. The study of non-discrete units suggests new ways of seeing the linguistic variation between genres and styles and the ways in which belonging to a genre predetermines linguistic choices.
Morphosyntactic Categories and the Expression of Possession
The analysis of constructions denoting possession (particularly, but not exclusively, in English) has long presented a challenge to morpho-syntactic theory and has been a topic of debate for some time. The papers presented here afford thought-provoking insights into the morphosyntactic nature of possessive markers under a variety of theoretical frameworks. The distribution of phrases expressing possession is explored in a range of languages (including English, Swedish, Urdu and West Flemish), with rigorous exploitation of corpus data and careful statistical analysis. Descriptions and analyses represent the state of the art in research into possessive constructions. Particular attention is paid to the English possessive 's, both synchronically and diachronically. This volume is essential for scholars interested in theoretical and corpus-based linguistics, morphosyntactic constructions, and the expression of possession.
