Toward a cognitive Discourses Semantics. Theoreticals inputs and empirical corpus-based case study in German.

2021

At the intersection between usage-based construction grammar and frame semantics, a cognitive semantic analysis is to be theorized. The present work proposes to develop for this purpose the Cognitive Discourse Analysis model. Discourse is then understood following Michel Foucault as a conceptual system based on linguistic, social and epistemic knowledge. Its linguistic operationalization is achieved through the contribution of textual linguistics and corpus following Dietrich Busse. The aim of such a methodological construction is to finely examine a corpus of recurrent texts in a cognitive perspective, and thus as close as possible to the linguistic reality, and to be able represent the en…

LA GRAMMATICALIZZAZIONE DEI VERBI DI MOVIMENTO IN SICILIANO: IL CASO DI IRI ‘ANDARE’ IN FUNZIONE DIRETTIVA

2019

Esiste in siciliano una costruzione direttiva formata dalla seconda persona singolare dell’imperativo di iri ‘andare’ e la seconda persona, singolare o plurale, dell’imperativo di un verbo lessicale (va pigghilu ‘(lett.) va prendilo’). Sullo sfondo di alcuni studi che hanno indagato lo sviluppo delle marche direttive in diverse lingue del mondo da una prospettiva storico-pragmatica, la costruzione è interpretata come risultato di un processo di grammaticalizzazione che si origina nella interazione diadica tra i partecipanti dello speech act, innescato dalle specificità deittiche del verbo (allontanamento dal punto di vista del parlante); poiché il punto di vista del parlante viene incluso n…

Анализ и оптимизация устойчивости балок на сплошном упругом основании часть I (балки конечной длины) [Analysis and optimization of a beam on elastic …

2017

Problems of defining the optimal (against buckling) cross section area distribution for beams interacting with elastic foundation are considered. The stability of limited pinned beams and infinite continuous beams is analyzed. For all beams under consideration, the stability analysis is performed as for constant as for variable distributions of strength beam characteristics. The critical length is determined and the variational statement of beam stability problems is presented for this beam type. The exact solution of optimal problem is presented in the case of linear dependence of limited beam bending hardness on beam cross section area. For the case of squared and cubic dependences, the n…

Gypsum and giant canes in the Sicilian traditional architecture

2014

Giant cane is a natural, eco-friendly and low-cost product that is very common in the Mediterranean area. As far as the Sicilian tradition is concerned, it has been combined with gypsum, a material with the same qualities. Reeds and gypsum have been used as a traditional composite material that is able to join and improve their peculiarities of lightness and insulation, and to utilize the bearing skill of the hardiest reeds and the fire protection and moulding skills of gypsum. This combination of poor and easy-to-find materials has been used very frequently in Sicilian traditional constructions. It is possible to see roofs with inclined floors; some wooden floors with reeds and gypsum used…

The Lithuanian "have" - resultative - a typological curiosum?

2012

ABSTRACT Björn Wiemer. The Lithuanian HAVE-resultative - A Typological Curiosum? Lingua Posnaniensis, vol. LIV (2)/2012. The Poznań Society for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences. PL ISSN 0079-4740, ISBN 978-83-7654-252-2, pp. 69-81. This article presents the Lithuanian possessive resultative construction with the verb turėti ‘have’ and discusses its place in a typology of forms of resultative constructions. While possessive resultatives with a past passive participle (as in Polish Kolację mamy już przygotowaną lit. ‘We have the dinner already prepared’) are found in areally related as well as other languages, Lithuanian stands out in using an active participle (more precisely: a part…

8000 years of coastal changes on a western Mediterranean island: A multiproxy approach from the Posada plain of Sardinia

2018

Abstract A multi-proxy palaeoenvironmental investigation was conducted to reconstruct the Holocene history of coastal landscape change in the lower Posada coastal plain of eastern Sardinia. In the Mediterranean region, coastal modifications during the Holocene have been driven by a complex interplay between climate, geomorphological processes and human activity. In this paper, millennial-scale human-sea level-environment interactions are investigated near Posada, one of the largest coastal plains in eastern Sardinia. Biostratigraphic and palynological approaches were used to interpret the chrono-stratigraphy exhibited by a series of new cores taken from the coastal plain. This new study elu…

Visual Perception and Graphic Analysis. The Pattern of Inlays in the Cathedral of Palermo

2017

The Cathedral of Palermo is one of the monuments belonging to the Arab-Norman Itinerary, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2015. This text uses geometric analysis to describe some of the inlaid circular designs from the eastern façade, the corner towers and the apses. The cataloguing of the two-tone geometric motifs also reveals aspects that can be linked back to the laws of visual perception. Hence, the text investigates these aspects based on a new reading. In fact, decomposing these elements based on the experience of their perception also facilitates the recognition of elementary figures. The attempt made in this brief text intends to induce a new perceptive awareness resulting f…

Les constructions causatives avec mouvement en allemand : d'une saisie phraséologique à une explication constructionnelle

2013

International audience; Cet article propose une analyse constructionnelle de certaines structures de l'allemand (du type Sie sang das Kind in den Schlaf) en les situant par rapport aux constructions causatives avec mouvement (caused motion constructions) analysées en anglais par Goldberg (1995). La thèse centrale repose sur l'idée d'un continuum de causativité partant d'un côté de mini systèmes plus ou moins grammaticalisés et/ou lexicalisés (locutions à verbe fonctionnel) pour se clore sur des structures au premier abord difficilement explicables en termes de constructions régulières. La démonstration vise à mettre en évidence l'existence d'un schéma, relativement abstrait, commun aux diff…
