Cartography between Christian Europe and the Arabic-Islamic World, 1100-1500
Medieval Christian European and Arabic-Islamic cultures are both notable for the wealth and diversity of their geographical literature, yet to date there has been relatively little attempt to compare medieval Christian and Islamic mapping traditions in a detailed manner. Cartography between Christian Europe and the Arabic-Islamic World offers a timely assessment of the level of interaction between the two traditions across a range of map genres, including world and regional maps, maps of the seven climes, and celestial cartography. Through a mixture of synthesis and case study, the volume makes the case for significant but limited cultural transfer. Contributors are: Elly Dekker; Jean-Charles Ducène; Alfred Hiatt; Yossef Rapoport; Stefan Schröder; Emmanuelle Vagnon.
Computational and Corpus-Based Phraseology
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third International Conference on Computational and Corpus-Based Phraseology, Europhras 2019, held in Malaga, Spain, in September 2019. The 31 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 116 submissions. The papers in this volume cover a number of topics including general corpus-based approaches to phraseology, phraseology in translation and cross-linguistic studies, phraseology in language teaching and learning, phraseology in specialized languages, phraseology in lexicography, cognitive approaches to phraseology, the computational treatment of multiword expressions, and the development, annotation, and exploitation of corpora for phraseological studies.
Observing Eurolects
Focusing on the multi-faceted topic of Eurolects, this volume brings together knowledge and methodologies from various disciplines, including sociolinguistics, legal linguistics, corpus linguistics, and translation studies. The legislative varieties of eleven EU official and working languages (Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Latvian, Maltese, Polish, Spanish) are analyzed using corpus methodologies in order to investigate the variational dynamics and translation-induced patterns of the different languages. The underlying assumption is that, within the sociolinguistic continua of the EU languages, it is possible to single out specific legislative varieties (Eurolects) that originate at a supra-national level. This research hypothesis is strongly supported by the empirical findings derived from detailed corpus analyses of each language. This work represents the first systematic and comprehensive linguistic research conducted on a wide range of EU languages using the same protocol and applying corpus methodologies to the extensive Eurolect Observatory Multilingual Corpus.
Input a Word, Analyze the World
Input a Word, Analyze the World represents current perspectives on Corpus Linguistics (CL) from a variety of linguistic subdisciplines. Corpus Linguistics has proven itself an excellent methodology for the study of language variation and change, and is well-suited for interdisciplinary collaboration, as shown by the studies in this volume. Its title is inspired by the use of CL to assess language in different registers and with a variety of purposes. This collection contains thirty contributions by scholars in the field from across the globe, dealing with current topics on corpus production and corpus tools; lexical analysis, phraseology and grammar; translation and contrastive linguistics; and language learning. Language specialists will find these papers inspiring, as they present new insights on aspects related to research and teaching.
The Composer As Intellectual
In The Composer as Intellectual, musicologist Jane Fulcher reveals the extent to which leading French composers between the World Wars were not only aware of but also engaged intellectually and creatively with the central political and ideological issues of the period. Employing recent sociological and historical insights, she demonstrates the extent to which composers, particularly those in Paris since the Dreyfus Affair, considered themselves and were considered to be intellectuals, and interacted closely with intellectuals in other fields. Their consciousness raised by the First World War and the xenophobic nationalism of official culture, some joined parties or movements, allying themsel...
War and Faith

Amélioration génétique des animaux d'élevage (édition 2013)
Cet ouvrage développe les principales connaissances relatives aux mécanismes de l'hérédité et à leurs applications pour l'amélioration génétique, ainsi que l'organisation et la réglementation de la sélection. La première partie est consacrée aux bases théoriques de la génétique. On y étudie la génétique moléculaire, l'hérédité des caractères monogéniques et polygéniques et la génétique des populations. Elle s'enrichit d'un exposé complet sur la génomique. La seconde partie détaille les principes de la sélection intrarace, mais également l'indexation, le progrès génétique, les méthodes de sélection et les programmes de sélection chez les ruminants laitiers et allaitants, les porcs et les chevaux. Pour terminer, on étudie les croisements, leurs limites et leurs objectifs. De nombreux schémas, illustrations et photographies en couleurs complètent utilement cet ouvrage.
Institutions et Médias
Ce volume est né d’un partenariat scientifique italo-français qui a vu la participation de l’ISIT (Grande École de management et de communication interculturels) et de l’Università degli Studi di Milano, représentée par le département de Scienze della Mediazione Linguistica e di Studi Interculturali (SMELSI). Lancé en novembre 2017, ce projet de collaboration a eu pour objectif la mise en place d’activités scientifiques conjointes, définies sur la base des intérêts de recherche des deux institutions. Le premier résultat de notre collaboration a été représenté par l’organisation de deux journées d’études au croisement de deux domaines de compétences réciproque...
