‘How this holiday makes a difference’: The language of environment and the environment of nature in a cross-cultural study of ecotourism
2010
Partendo dal presupposto che le differenze culturali spesso costituiscono una fonte potenziale di problematiche traduttive, questo contributo mira a evidenziare le differenze che emergono sul piano linguistico, a livello lessicale, ma soprattutto fraseologico, in seguito a variegati orientamenti culturali che agiscono come filtri. Il linguaggio specialistico analizzato riguarda una nicchia particolare del mercato del turismo, ossia l’ecoturismo, che sta conquistando un terreno sempre più vasto in seguito ad una maggiore attenzione rivolta nei confronti di tematiche attuali, come quelle di impatto ambientale. Abbracciando una prospettiva interculturale, il lavoro indaga il diverso approccio …
La "linguistique du droit" (Rechtslinguistik) : un outil d'analyse (critique) de discours ? Mise en perspective à partir du "principe de non-discrimi…
2017
International audience; La présentation vise à présenter quelques orientations de recherche mises en œuvre dans la recherche en sciences du langage dans l’espace germanophone et qui ne sont pas toujours connues dans les travaux français (et internationaux) d’analyse du discours – essentiellement pour une question d’accessibilité linguistique. On commence ainsi par, interroger ce qui fait la spécificité de la Rechtslinguistik/linguistique juridique et de la Rechtssemantik/sémantique juridique. Sur cette base, il s’agit ensuite d’interroger leur(s) possible(s) articulation(s) avec ce que la tradition francophone appelle « jurilinguistique » et avec « analyse du discours (institutionnel et ins…
La « mise en formule » par les hashtags : analyse de nouvelles formes « ultra-brèves » dans les tweets de campagne des européennes (2014)
2017
National audience; La communication, basée sur un corpus de tweets en français et en allemand compilé pendant la campagne électorale pour les élections européennes de 2014, interroge les relations potentielles entre les hashtags et la notion de "formule" telle qu'elle a été développée en analyse du discours. Elle s'intéresse en particulier à la question du rôle des hashtags comme réducteur et démultiplicateur de la brièveté intrinsèque des tweets.
FIctional Artworks. Literary Ékphrasis and the Invention of Images
2016
The volume is devoted to images in painting, photography and cinema invented by literature. At the same time it intends to question, through this perspective, the relationship between text and image, between verbal and visual in modern and contemporary literature. The authors investigate the mutual boundaries between literature and arts from the point of view of aesthetics, visual culture and literary theory, trying to build a map of the notional ékphrasis, a description which constitutes the work of art while telling it.
The Sound of Emotion
2014
What is the effect of performers’ experienced emotions on the auditory characteristics of their performances? By asking performers to play a music phrase in response to three different instructions we attempted to answer this question. Performers were instructed to do the following: 1) play while focusing on the technical aspects of their playing; 2) give an expressive performance; and 3) focus on their experienced emotions, prior to which they were subjected to a sadness-inducing mood induction task. Performers were interviewed after each playing condition. We analyzed the tempo, articulation, dynamics, timbre, and vibrato of the performances obtained as well as the interview data. A focus…
Fixed constructions in French and Chinese
2017
Languages are not just instruments of communication. Claude Hagège (2012: 181) reminds that all languages are rooted in a pool of knowledge, sensations, memories, images, dreams, which are the fabric of a speaker's competence. Languages are very complex and multidimensional phenomena. However, it is impossible to carry out a complete study of languages, without taking into account a generalized and pervasive phenomenon: the fixedness.In light of a great deal of progress which has been made by the research on phraseology, we realize that many gray areas still exist; indeed, some true mysteries remain to be unraveled. Contrastive studies have always helped to advance knowledge of language, es…
More Support for More-Support
2009
This book provides the most comprehensive account so far of novel and hitherto unexplained factors operative in the choice between synthetic ( prouder ) and analytic ( more proud ) comparatives. It argues that the underlying motivation in using the analytic variant is to mitigate processing demands – a compensatory strategy referred to as more -support. The analytic variant is claimed to be better suited to environments of increased processing complexity – presumably owing to its ability to facilitate early phrase structure recognition, the more transparent one-to-one relation between form and function and possibly because the degree marker more can serve as a structural signal foreshadowin…
On the Finite Satisfiability Problem for the Guarded Fragment with Transitivity
2005
We study the finite satisfiability problem for the guarded fragment with transitivity. We prove that in case of one transitive predicate the problem is decidable and its complexity is the same as the general satisfiability problem, i.e. 2Exptime-complete. We also show that finite models for sentences of GF with more transitive predicate letters used only in guards have essentially different properties than infinite ones.
Perspective in the Processing of the Chinese Reflexive ziji: ERP Evidence
2011
We investigated the comprehension of the Chinese reflexive ziji, which is typically subject to long-distance binding. However, this preference can be overridden by verb semantics (some verbs require local binding) as well as by subtle feature combinations of intervening noun phrases (NPs) (e.g., 1st/2nd person pronouns block dependencies with more distant 3rd person antecedents). The processing of ziji was examined in sentences containing two verb types (local/self-oriented, distant/other-oriented) and three different intervening NPs (1st, 2nd , 3rd person). The event-related potential data revealed an early interaction of verb and intervener: other-oriented verbs showed more processing eff…
Passive in motion: the Early Italian auxiliary andare (‘to go’)
2014
The Italian construction andare ‘to go’ + (transitive) past participle expresses a passive meaning when occurring in a perfective past tense (1), whereas it conveys an additional deontic sense of (impersonal) obligation when used in an imperfective tense (2) (Bertinetto 1991; Giacalone Ramat 2000). A further constraint on the passive reading is represented by the semantics of the participle, necessarily expressing a negative value of ‘loss/destruction’; this value is moreover conceived as ‘non-intentional’, as the impossibility to express the agent (*da qualcuno) shows: (1) I documenti andarono distrutti. (*da qualcuno) the documents go. prf.3pl destroy.pst.ptcp.pl (by someone) ‘The documen…
