Cut-off method for endogeny of recursive tree processes
2016
Given a solution to a recursive distributional equation, a natural (and non-trivial) question is whether the corresponding recursive tree process is endogenous. That is, whether the random environment almost surely defines the tree process. We propose a new method of proving endogeny, which applies to various processes. As explicit examples, we establish endogeny of the random metrics on non-pivotal hierarchical graphs defined by multiplicative cascades and of mean-field optimization problems as the mean-field matching and travelling salesman problems in pseudo-dimension q>1.
Patente de corso y La zona fantasma: La identidad del locutor
2014
This study deals with the main features of locutors in La zona fantasma (Marías) and Patente de corso (Pérez Reverte). After a brief introduction on argumentative discourse and the opinion columns, the identity of the locutor/enunciator is analysed in detail. More precisely, the article will demonstrate how mode, polyphony and heterogeneity of discursive sequences support the persuasive objective pursued by this kind of discourse. En este trabajo proponemos una reflexión sobre las características del locutor de La zona fantasma (Marías) y Patente de corso (Pérez Reverte). Después de una breve introducción sobre el discurso argumentativo y las columnas de autor, se analizará la identidad de …
L’effectivité du discours du banquier central sur la conjoncture
2015
International audience; Ce chapitre s’interroge sur les raisons de la montée en puissance de la politique de communication des banques centrales, notamment celle de la BCE. Nous commençons par présenter les arguments mis en avant par la théorie économique standard, qui justifie à la fois l’indépendance des Banques Centrales (à l’égard du pouvoir politique) et le « gouvernement des anticipations » des agents économiques. Les thèmes de la transparence, de la crédibilité et de l’indépendance ont été associés au cours des années 1980, aboutissant à la nécessité de mettre en place des banquiers centraux « conservateurs », c’est-à-dire hostiles à l’inflation. Cette littérature a influencé les pra…
Using recursive Bayesian estimation for matching GPS measurements to imperfect road network data
2010
Map-matching refers to the process of projecting positioning measurements to a location on a digital road network map. It is an important element of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) focusing on driver assistance applications, on emergency and incident management, arterial and freeway management, and other applications. This paper addresses the problem of map-matching in the applications characterized by imperfect map quality and restricted computational resources - e.g. in the context of community-based ITS applications. Whereas a number of map-matching methods are available, often these methods rely on topological analysis, thereby making them sensitive to the map inaccuracies. In …
The conjoint conceptualization and negotiation of national cultures : qualitative study of discursive culture-concepts, their function and their rela…
2015
The study of stereotypes and stereotyping is as complex and multi-facetted as the social phenomenon itself. From being seen as an erroneous and over-generalizing image in the mind of individuals, to the current perspective that stereotypes have an individual and a social level, are shaped by long-term and short-term contextual factors, and are used for certain purposes, managed and negotiated, stereotypes have been acknowledged as a topic which cannot be studied within one academic discipline alone. This study looks into stereotype use and management during in-group discourse about other national cultures. The data consists of three focus groups consisting of Finnish students who talk about…
Faire déguster et parler de son vin pour le faire aimer et le vendre : quelques stratégies dans des interactions producteur-client
2015
International audience; Cette contribution, qui s’inscrit dans le projet global OenoLex Bourgogne, vise une analyse discursive d’interactions authentiques entre des professionnels bourguignons du vin et des clients (potentiels) en contexte de dégustation. Elle présente le corpus original produit dans le cadre du projet et met l’accent sur les stratégies de transmission de connaissancestechniques et sur les argumentaires de vente développés par les producteurs et/ou vendeurs
Poids culturel du discours numérique de la bière en allemand Pour une approche par la sémantique discursive
2019
International audience; La présente contribution vise à développer la méthodologie de la sémantique discursive en convoquant la sémantique des cadres pour l’analyse du discours sensoriel. Seront, dans un premier temps, discutés les deux notions de discours et de sensoriel pour partir d’une définition stabilisée et opérationnalisable. Les cadres sémantiques sont ensuite employés pour l’analyse d’un corpus numérique original en langue allemande de publications d’Instagram générées à partir de hashtags portant sur la bière. Il sera alors démontré en quoi la culture influence la construction du sens du texte de la publication.
Extracting (good) discourse examples from an oral specialised corpus of wine tasting interactions
2015
International audience; This article outlines the semi-automated extraction of dictionary examples used in the compilation of a professional online dictionary of wine tasting. Named OenoLex Bourgogne, this dictionary was started to respond to the demand for a lexicographic information tool from the French wine industry of Burgundy, the Bureau Interprofessionnel des Vins de Bourgogne.
Pat Barker’s Regeneration: Subverting the Masculinity of World War I Official Discourse
2014
Pat Barker’s Regeneration (1991) offers an imaginative deconstruction of the myth of the Great War as produced within British official patriotic rhetoric and in some of the best-known lyrics by Wilfred Owen (1893- 1918), who, together with Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967), has always been celebrated as one of the leading War poets. If Owen’s poetry partly entails the apolitical sublimation of the devastating facts of war through the ambiguous sentiment of pity, in Barker’s novel any suppression of emotions is posited as artificial and counterbalanced by a thorough exploration of those contradictory aspects of the Great War which official discourses have tended to obscure: the homoerotic experi…
Profiling of new Europeans in the British conservative press : a case study of the "Daily Telegraph"
2017
This chapter presents an exploratory analysis of discursive strategies through which Europe and Europeans are represented, focusing on how their images are profiled in the texts of the British conservative newspaper Daily Telegraph, a quality newspaper ranked as one of the three most widely read in the UK throughout the 2000s. We explore articles retrieved from the Internet version of the Daily Telegraph from the 1st of May, 2004 to the 1st of May, 2009, aiming to establish the patterns of distribution of the words “EU”, “Europe” or “European”, and discover possible othering techniques that do not overtly transgress the rules of political correctness. Such covert profiling, among other fact…
