International Advances in Writing Research

The authors report research that considers writing in all levels of schooling, in science, in the public sphere, and in the workplace, as well as the relationship among these various places of writing. The authors also consider the cultures of writing—among them national cultures, gender cultures, schooling cultures, scientific cultures, and cultures of the workplace.

Proceedings of the VIIth GSCP International Conference. Speech and Corpora

The 7th International Conference of the Gruppo di Studi sulla Comunicazione Parlata, dedicated to the memory of Claire Blanche-Benveniste, chose as its main theme Speech and Corpora. The wide international origin of the 235 authors from 21 countries and 95 institutions led to papers on many different languages. The 89 papers of this volume reflect the themes of the conference: spoken corpora compilation and annotation, with the technological connected fields; the relation between prosody and pragmatics; speech pathologies; and different papers on phonetics, speech and linguistic analysis, pragmatics and sociolinguistics. Many papers are also dedicated to speech and second language studies. The online publication with FUP allows direct access to sound and video linked to papers (when downloaded).

L'étude du fonctionnement de la langue dans la discipline Français : quelles articulations ?

La discipline scolaire Français a comme spécificité à la fois de faire pratiquer la langue en situations de lecture et de production orale et écrite et de la prendre comme objet d'observation et d’étude dans ses diverses dimensions : grammaire, orthographe, lexique, morphologie verbale, etc. Depuis une cinquantaine d’années, les directives générales des différents pays de la francophonie affirment que, outre la construction d’une représentation de la langue comme système, l’enseignement de la langue est (ou devrait être) au service de la lecture et de l’écriture. Mais comment se réalise cette double finalité ? Comment penser et concrétiser les articulations que cel...

Perspectives on Linguistic Structure and Context

In this tribute to Knud Lambrecht, a pioneer of Information Structure, a diverse group of scholars examines the intersection of syntax, discourse, pragmatics, and semantics. The six chapters in the first section of the volume consider issues of grammar with new theoretical and applied insights, pertaining to grammatical constructions such as left dislocation, unaccusatives, null complements, and passives. While the first half of the book presents studies involving a range of languages from Russian to Irish to Italian, the second section is dedicated to papers focused on French. These five chapters feature the application of Construction Grammar and/or Information Structure frameworks to prosody and second language processing, as well as to several distinctive spoken French constructions: clefts, left dislocations, and interrogatives. Collectively, this book offers substantial reading for those interested in the juncture of structure and context, notably a critical take on the important legacy of a preeminent linguist.

The Decline of the French Passé Simple

  • Publisher: BRILL

The disappearance of the French simple past has been hotly debated since the early 20th century. This volume offers an overview of its fortunes since French emerged as a language, provides a description of its distinctive features, and discusses the potential impact of its supposed demise on the whole French verb system. These assumptions are tested against a large corpus of contemporary texts. The study concludes that, despite the erosion of its meaning and its increasingly infrequent use, the simple past tense is still used by native speakers in various contexts, and no single substitute has yet emerged. Nevertheless, the simple past may be evolving into a stylistic marker, making it fertile ground for future cross-linguistic studies.

Grammaticalization and Pragmatics: Facts, Approaches, Theoretical Issues

  • Publisher: BRILL

The studies collected in this volume deal with pragmatic factors involved in the evolution of grammatical or lexical forms or in the emergence of complex syntactic structures in various languages (Dutch, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Serbian and Spanish). They are set against the theoretical framework of grammaticalization. The main methodological tools are cross-linguistic contrastive analysis and diachronic perspective. The two main issues that emerge from these studies are the place of pragmatic factors in language change (input, output or setting/frame of the process) and the existence or otherwise of a prevailing mechanism for explaining change phenomena.

Au cœur du verbe

Si le présent ouvrage n’aborde pas en profondeur le verbe comme forme prédicative par excellence – position de plus en plus mise à mal de nos jours – l’on sait que sa particularité de catégorie de l’action a complètement disparu de nos esprits. La classique bipartition verbe d’action et verbe d’état, pour être encore en cours dans le domaine scolaire, a fait place à la possibilité prédicative de toutes les catégories grammaticales essentielles. Le nom peut représenter l’action, l’état, le sentiment, etc. Le paradigme d’étude du verbe s’annonce large, et le volume en cours n’a ni l’ambition ni la prétention de l’embrasser dans son entièreté. Si on...
