INHERENT TELICITY AND PROTO- INDO-EUROPEAN VERBAL PARADIGMS
2016
In recent aspectual classi}cations telicity is described as a compositional syntactic property, and verbs are analyzed as complex structures made up of completely neutral roots. However, semantic changes due to both derivational processes and dierent syntactic contexts could have obscured the relationship between root lexical aspect and verb morphological paradigms. The purpose of this paper is to show that telicity can be considered as an inherent lexical property: the co-occurrence in a sentence with arguments, adverbials or speci}c pragmatic contexts which can (de)telicize the event described by a verb has consequences at syntactic level, whereas the prototypical aspect of the root is p…
Optimization of flat area coverage under connectivity constraint in wireless sensor networks
2022
A wireless sensor network consists of a set of small autonomous units that interact via a network built by their communication modules. They observe their environment, capture information, then manage this information according to their computing and/or storage capacity. To effectively accomplish their task(s), they need to cover as much of the area of interest as possible. It is therefore essential to quantify the quality of their coverage. In this thesis, we therefore seek to best cover an area of interest, with a precise number of sensors. While taking into account the possible overlaps between sensors, we first deploy in a zone of regular dimensions and evaluate the exact coverage using…
Towards a reconstruction of Indo-European culture: semantic functions of IE *men-
2002
Indo-European language reconstruction has allowed us to advance some hypotheses with regard to possible reconstructing cultural contents of what has been defined “Indo-European ideology” (Campanile 1992). The method of textual comparison, which compares no longer and not merely single lexical items or single syntactic constructions, but the whole literary systems too, is able to bring out linguistic and extra-linguistic reference contexts. The interest in reconstructing the Indo-European “basic lexicon” is renewed in the light of recent typological criteria of root classification (according to their active or stative meaning): the focus today is on drawing up the so-called “global etymologi…
Repenser les politiques du logement à l’aune des nouvelles formes de sans-abrisme
2019
Comment rendre plus sociales les politiques du logement ? Dans un ouvrage récent, le sociologue italien Antonio Tosi plaide pour la création d’un système d’aide au logement intégré, alliant politiques généralistes et politiques ciblées pour répondre aux besoins des différentes composantes de la demande en logement. Alors que le modèle néolibéral ne cesse de s’affirmer en Europe, entraînant des changements conséquents sur l’intervention de l’État dans les politiques du logement et les politiques sociales, le sociologue italien Antonio Tosi interroge dans son dernier ouvrage la portée sociale1 des politiques du logement dans différents pays d’Europe occidentale (France, Italie, Belgique…) et …
Proto-Indo-European verbal suppletion and emerging paradigms
2008
The existence of suppletion in a Proto-Indo-European language is still a question of debate (García Ramón 2002). While the evidence for such a phenomenon has been widely recognized within the verbal system of most Indo-European languages, some scholars describe it as a recent monoglot development which characterizes the history of each single language without involving a previous common stage. According to Strunk (1977), the hypothesis of a PIE suppletive paradigm based on the alternation of verbal roots such as *es- and *bhu- “be”, or *ei-/i- and *gwa-/ gwem - “go”, must be ruled out because it violates the so-called criterium-b, i.e. complementary distribution of the forms involved in a s…
