Couble discursive genre in the Sagrada Familia
2018
This paper focuses on professional genre discourse description applied in tourism context where two different service modalities allows the researcher to deal with two different discourses of the same touristic place: the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. The aim is to define the genre of the specific discourse related to the different professional practices: the guided visit with the physical presence of an expert, and the guided visit using a socio-technical device where the information is recorded, in order to acknowledge its characteristics and measure the impact on cultural perceptions. The applied methodology relies on the Mann & Thomson's Rhetorical Structure Theory which allows the rese…
The constitution of the nature of mathematics in the lecturing practices of three university mathematics teachers
2015
International audience; The study reported in this paper investigates how notions of the nature of mathematical knowledge and mathematical objects are articulated in the discursive practices of three university mathematics teachers at a Swedish university. The data consists of video recorded lectures, and the analyses were informed by classifications presented by Lerman (1990) and Davis and Hersh (1981). The results indicate that different epistemological and ontological positions are indeed constituted through the discourse. Although the discourse is generally highly objectified, the ways in which mathematical objects are introduced differ. Mostly the discourse was within an ab-solutist pa…
A conversational, morpho-syntactic and intonation analysis of discourse markers in political discourse : A case study of presidential debates and tel…
2020
This thesis proposes a morphosyntactic, prosodic and conversational analysis of discourse markers in presidential debates and televised political talkshows in the United States of America. The main object of the study is the role of discourse markers in the sequential structuring and in the enunciative organisation of presidential debates in the United States of America. Discourse markers, in correlation with gestures and intonation, contribute significantly to the construction of the verbal exchange between the various participants in mediated political discourse. To achieve its goals, this thesis draws on several theoretical frameworks dealing with spontaneous speech (Benveniste and Berre…

L'« Horreur viscérale » de David Cronenberg, ou l'horreur de l'« anti-nature »
2010
The author uses the films of David Cronenberg as a basis to study the relation between cinematographic strategies of fright and horror. The first are often based on an opposition between the on- and off-camera, while the latter seem to rely on the shot/reverse-shot technique. In this sense, The Brood (1979) provides an interesting shift from fright to horror. The author aims at understanding the term “body horror” which has been associated with Cronenberg's films from the start. The author defines it as the moment when matter does not signify before various discourses (scientific, aesthetic) endow it with a form of nature.
LA DISCRIMINATION " PRIVATIVE " DANS L'ACTIVITÉ EXPLICATIVE
2005
International audience; L’objectif de cette contribution expérimentale est de tester des hypothèses relatives aux attributions causales entre groupes, appliquées à la catégorisation « Français d’origine »/« immigré maghrébin ». Conformément à des convictions non racistes, les sujets n’attribuent pas plus souvent à une personne cible « d’origine maghrébine » qu’à une cible « Français d’origine », la responsabilité d’une conduite socialement indésirable. Néanmoins, ce n’est pas pour autant qu’ils lui attribuent la responsabilité de sa conduite socialement désirable, lorsqu’elle est « d’origine maghrébine », ce qu’ils font, pourtant, dans le cas d’une cible « Français d’origine ». Ces résultat…
Raport o stanie dyskursu krytycznoliterackiego w Polsce
2017
The article is an attempt to describe the condition of the discourse of literary criticism as practiced in Poland. The author investigates the process of gradual impoverishment and despecification of the language of literary criticism, which reveals itself via diverse socio-literary phenomena, such as the demand for shortenings and evaluative character of literary criticism, the places where literary criticism appears, the disappearance of the quality of the dialogue, and the way literary criticism functions in the Polish contemporary publishing market. A separate part of these considerations is devoted to the overview of the critics’ approaches to the condition of the discourse of literary…
Developing Academic Thinking in the EFL Writing Classroom: A Rationale for General-academic Writing Assignments
2020
Ante el evidente y continuo crecimiento de la variación disciplinaria en el discurso académico, la noción de enseñar el pensamiento académico básico por escrito parece haberse vuelto cada vez más controvertida. Este artículo ofrece una justificación para dos tareas de escritura académica general, cada una de las cuales se centra en la enseñanza de un aspecto clave de lo que se define como la postura intelectual subyacente a la redacción académica en general: la problematización y la posición del sujeto. Problematizar y asumir una nueva posición del sujeto en el contexto de la escritura académica suelen ser tareas difíciles para muchos estudiantes cuando ingresan en la universidad. Las tare…

Tā ietvēra zinātniski pētnieciskā darba anotācijas un ievada rakstīšanas mācīšanu, nodarbību vērošanu, aptaujas un žanra analīzi. Pētījuma rezultāti parādīja studentu rakstīšanas iemaņu uzlabošanos attiecīgajos žanros. Var secināt, ka žanra pieeja ir efektīva, jo studenti apzinās anotācijas un ievada retorisko struktūru un valodas iezīmes un spēj izmantot i…
Epistemic Modality Variation in Community Law Journals
2012
Over the last decades the attention of scholars working in the filed of academic discourse has been directed towards language variation, and academic writing is not any more considered as a consistent and homogeneous form of discourse. The importance traditionally given to the consensual and static aspects of disciplinary communication has been coupled with the emphasis increasingly placed to the analysis of interactions/practices/activities that sustain discourse communities. According to the sociolinguist approach, genres become ‘dynamically rhetorical structures’ that can be manoeuvred according to the discipline’s norms, values and ideology, both historically and incrementally changing …
