This volume brings together two particularly dynamic areas of contemporary research on the French language. The chapters showcase the most innovative current scholarship in historical linguistics, sociolinguistics, and in the burgeoning field of historical sociolinguistics which lies at their intersection. The research across the volume is strongly data-centred, drawing on a wide range of both well-established and more novel theoretical and methodological approaches in order to open up new perspectives on the study of the French language in the twenty-first century. Although it is written in English, the work presented here is underpinned by a range of different approaches from across the Francophone and Anglophone worlds. Particular emphasis is placed on combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, on diversifying tools, methods, and objects of inquiry, and on adopting comparative and multilingual perspectives where these shed new light on important questions relating to French. In these ways, Historical and Sociolinguistic Approaches to French highlights some of the most exciting new directions for linguistic research on the French language.

This volume contains 30 contributions, all dealing with the history of French pedagogical grammars and French language teaching in the 16th and 17th century. The volume opens with a historical and methodological survey of the teaching and description of French as a foreign language between 1500 and 1700. The 29 contributors that follow are grouped into two sections. The first section is devoted to methodological issues and institutional aspects of French language pedagogy. The second section, covering the teaching of French in the Scandinavian countries, Great-Britain, the Low Countries, the German-speaking area and Central Europe, the Iberian peninsula and Italy, offers detailed analyses of national traditions of foreign language teaching, manuals, grammarians and didactical practices. All contributions are followed by extensive bibliographies. The volume contains an index of personal names and of concepts. The editors of the volume are members of the "Seminarium Historiographiae Linguisticae" (University of Leuven, Belgium).
Le savoir grammatical de la langue cible continue d'être au centre des préoccupations des enseignants de langue étrangère, pour qui la maitrise du système de cette langue offre le sentiment de progresser. Qu'il soit lusophone, hispanophone ou italophone, l'apprenant ne rencontre pas les mêmes obstacles d'appropriation de la grammaire. Cet ouvrage a pour objectif de valoriser l'expertise des enseignants de FLE qui comprennent que certaines zones de difficulté du français trouvent peu d'écho dans les discours des manuels pédagogiques. Les contributions des auteurs s'inscrivent en majorité dans les travaux du GRAC (Grammaire et contextualisation) du laboratoire DILTEC (Didactique des...
Best Book of the Year – Kirkus Reviews A spirited biography of the prophetic and sympathetic philosopher who helped build the foundations of the modern world. Denis Diderot is often associated with the decades-long battle to bring the world’s first comprehensive Encyclopédie into existence. But his most daring writing took place in the shadows. Thrown into prison for his atheism in 1749, Diderot decided to reserve his best books for posterity–for us, in fact. In the astonishing cache of unpublished writings left behind after his death, Diderot challenged virtually all of his century's accepted truths, from the sanctity of monarchy, to the racial justification of the slave trade, to th...
Im vierten und letzten Band von Coserius Geschichte der romanischen Sprachwissenschaft wird im Wesentlichen der gleiche Zeitraum behandelt wie in Band III, es stehen aber andere Themen im Fokus. Zudem wird der Abschluss hin zur Vorbereitung der historisch-vergleichenden Methode zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts gefunden. Schwerpunkte sind hier die Kenntnis des Provenzalischen (Okzitanischen), des Rumänischen und Rätoromanischen in jener Epoche, die Lehrwerke und Wörterbücher, die in den romanischen Ländern zur Kenntnis der jeweils anderen romanischen Sprache beitragen, die Entwicklung in Deutschland und die Bedeutung der Sprachenzyklopädien von Hervás, Adelung und Vater für die Entwicklung einer historischen Perspektive in der Sprachwissenschaft. Ein Kapitel über Raynouard und A. W. Schlegel bildet den Abschluss. Damit stehen wir am Beginn der Romanistik als Disziplin.
L’Analisi Linguistica e Letteraria è una rivista internazionale di linguistica e letteratura peer reviewed. Ha una prospettiva sia sincronica che diacronica e accoglie ricerche di natura teorica e applicata. Seguendo un orientamento spiccatamente interdisciplinare, si propone di approfondire la comprensione dei processi di analisi testuale in ambito letterario come anche in ambito linguistico. La rivista è organizzata in tre sezioni: la prima contiene saggi e articoli; la seconda presenta discussioni e analisi d’opera relative alle scienze linguistiche e letterarie; la terza sezione ospita recensioni e una rassegna di brevi schede bibliografiche riguardanti la linguistica generale e le linguistiche delle singole lingue (francese, inglese, russo, tedesco). La rivista pubblica regolarmente articoli in francese, inglese, italiano e tedesco, e occasionalmente anche in altre lingue: nel 2010, ad esempio, ha pubblicato un volume tematico interamente in russo.
This book discusses the responsibility, or otherwise, of tourism activities in Latin America and the Caribbean. It considers issues such as the reduction of poverty through tourism and the conflict between increasing volumes of air travel spent in our continuing search for pleasure and the resulting contribution to global warming. The authors believe that tourism can only be adequately assessed through a consideration of how it fits into the structure of power. It is also argued that tourism cannot be analyzed without a consideration of its impacts on and links with development. This relationship between tourism, responsibility, power and development is explored in chapters covering both the...
