The book is divided into two sections, corresponding to the two languages in which the articles are written (English and French), although the terminological analyses also focus on Italian, Neapolitan and Spanish. This choice is expressly demanded by the political legacy of Naples, which for six centuries was alternately dominated by French, Spanish and Austrian rulers whose lasting influence on the city’s traditions and language the essays explore.

A precise approach to lexical and non-lexical pragmatic conte...

Les noms de marque sont des néologismes de dénomination, qui passent de la langue à la diffusion par la parole, car leur création linguistique s’impose en même temps que l’objet nouveau qu’ils représentent. Il s’agit d’ailleurs d’un fait lexical très répandu : les spécialistes de lacommunication affirment que notre connaissance passive des marques atteint jusqu’à 1500 unités par individu. Les noms de marque sont un réservoir d’effets de sens qui sont aussi bien collectifs qu’individuels, vu qu’ils évoquent des images, des émotions, des symboles. Ils gardent la trace à l...
