Clausal coordination in Finnish Sign Language

2016

This paper deals with the coordination of clauses in Finnish Sign Language (FinSL). Building on conversational data, the paper first shows that linking in conjunctive coordination in FinSL is primarily asyndetic, whereas in adversative and disjunctive coordination FinSL prefers syndetic linking. Secondly, the paper investigates the nonmanual prosody of coordination: nonmanual activity is shown both to mark the juncture of the coordinand clauses and to draw their contours. Finally, the paper addresses certain forms of clausal coordination in FinSL that are sign language-specific. It is suggested that the sign language-specific properties of coordination are caused both by the fact that signe…

La Grammaire de Condillac face au paradoxe de l'origine naturelle du langage

2012

The recent discovery of mirror neurons has rivived the gestural-imitative theory of the origin of language advocated by Condillac in the XVIIIth century. Condillac develops this theory in two stages: in the Essai (1746) he proposes a gestural theory based on the arbitrariness of the sign, while in the Grammaire (1775) he refuses arbitrariness and accepts the theory of analogy and natural imitation proposed by Charles de Brosses (1765). This choice depends on the fact that in Rousseau (1755) and Beauzee (1765) arbitrariness, as a "paradox of the original contract", now plays the role of key argument in favor of the divine origin of language. So, the theory of analogy and natural imitation is…

Homeostasis in school science: analysis of the subject and results of a proposal for classroom work

2016

El trabajo presenta un breve repaso del nacimiento del concepto de homeostasis en la historia de la fisiología. Se ha realizado un estudio de aula con estudiantes de tercer curso de secundaria apreciando las dificultades que estos presentan para construir una visión holista del concepto de homeostasis. La ciencia escolar porta una iconicidad múltiple, derivada del lenguaje experto, que en muchos casos se revela como un obstáculo para el aprendizaje de los estudiantes novatos. Siendo la homeostasis un concepto básico en la estructura del curriculum nacional se hace una llamada para ahondar en su investigación didáctica.

Towards understanding nonmanuality : A semiotic treatment of signers’ head movements

2019

This article discusses a certain type of nonmanual action, signers’ head movements, from a semiotic perspective. It presents a typology of head movements and their iconic, indexical and symbolic features based on Peircean and post-Peircean semiotics. The paper argues for the view that (i) indexical strategies are very prominent in head movements, (ii) iconic features are most evident in enacting, while non-enacting description is less common, (iii) symbolic types for tokens are infrequent, although some movements—such as nodding and shaking the head—may become more conventional or schematized, and (iv) different types of head movements involve different proportions of iconicity, indexicalit…

Introduction : formes de l'iconicité

2014

International audience; L'emploi du terme "eikon" pour désigner une forme linguistique fonctionnant comme une image est aussi ancien que la tradition linguistico-grammaticale de l'Occident. Il figure en effet pour la première fois dans le Cratyle de Platon (439a), point de départ de cette tradition. Pour Platon, qui ne distingue pas encore entre signifiant et signifié, il est raisonnable d'affirmer que le nom, dans son ensemble, et jusqu'à ses éléments phonologiques, opère comme une image de la chose signifiée, ce qui constitue du reste une bonne raison pour s'en méfier et préférer la connaissance directe des choses à celle de leurs représentations. La reprise du terme "icon" dans la pensée…

Charles Nodier et la linguistique des origines

2014

International audience; Du point de vue de l'histoire des idées, Charles Nodier occupe une position doublement importante. Il est l'auteur du premier livre en français contenant le mot « linguistique » dans le titre et il est le premier président de cet Institut des Langues qui, le 21 décembre 1839, deviendra la première « Société de Linguistique » française. Si on s'en tenait à ce critère strictement lexicologique, on ne manquerait donc pas d'arguments pour affirmer que Nodier a joué un rôle clé dans l'apparition de la linguistique en France. Peu de linguistes accepteraient pourtant aujourd'hui de souscrire à une pareille affirmation. Pour la plupart d'entre eux, la linguistique ne se mani…

Iconicity in grammar chinese

2014

The notion of iconicity has become an interesting topic in the Western cognitive linguistics today. We chose to study the problem of iconicity in the context of Chinese grammar. Like any "ideographic" language, the Mandarin Chinese reveal a high degree of iconicity by his writing. In the history of Chinese linguistics, many studies have been done on the similarity between the form of the Chinese character and the sense which it represents. However, we only began to develop the notion of iconicity in the phonetic and syntactic domains with the introduction of cognitive linguistics in China thirty years ago. In this thesis, we will develop the notion of iconicity in the grammar of Chinese in …

Formal Variation and Language Change in Catalan Quantifiers : the Role of Pragmatics

2020

This article studies the formal variation of the masculine singular forms of the quantifiers u/un 'one', algú/algun 'someone, some', ningú/ningun 'no-one, anyone, not one, any, none' and cada u/cada un 'everyone, each one' in contemporary Catalan. The standard uses of these forms are contrasted with dialectal uses, obtained from a thorough search in oral and written corpora. In addition, they are compared with the uses in the other Romance languages and with their historical evolution in Catalan. The whole set of data, and especially the dialectal information on the Valencian area, allow us to explain the various factors that have interacted in the variation and formal change of these quant…

La voce allo specchio

2012

En partant de l'hypothèse de Rizzolatti et collègues (1998, 2007) d'un isomorphisme originaire entre phonétique et sémantique, l'article analyse le rapport entre les différences phonologiques et les différences sémantiques dans quatre ensembles de mots monosyllabiques italiens (monophonèmes, pronoms, verbes et adverbes) et montre que les signifiants tendent à s'opposer entre eux par le biais des traits phonologiques distinctifs comme les signifiés s'opposent par le biais de traits morphologiques et sémantiques. Par exemple, le premières personnes tendent à être relativement plus postérieures et graves, les deuxièmes, antérieures et aiguës et les troisièmes centrales et ouvertes. En outre, d…
