Vocabulary Gains of Mono- and Multilingual Learners in a Linguistically Diverse Setting: Results From a German-English Intervention With Inclusion of…

2018

Today, group settings (e.g., in kindergarten) are more linguistically-diverse than ever. However, concepts in language acquisition only rarely include this fact. This paper reports on the effects of a language intervention which is based on a concept specifically designed for linguistically-diverse settings („PROgramme for BI- and MUltilingual Children“; Festman and Rinker, 2014). The implementation of the programme and its outcomes are described with the example of a German-English-immersion kindergarten, which was in fact plurilingual. We aimed at supporting children’s acquisition of the two languages in parallel with inclusion of their home languages. Overall, 52 (mono-, bi-, and triling…

Impact of textual data augmentation on linguistic pattern extraction to improve the idiomaticity of extractive summaries

2021

International audience; The present work aims to develop a text summarisation system for financial texts with a focus on the fluidity of the target language. Linguistic analysis shows that the process of writing summaries should take into account not only terminological and collocational extraction, but also a range of linguistic material referred to here as the "support lexicon", that plays an important role in the cognitive organisation of the field. On this basis, this paper highlights the relevance of pre-training the CamemBERT model on a French financial dataset to extend its domainspecific vocabulary and fine-tuning it on extractive summarisation. We then evaluate the impact of textua…

Polish Americans in the History of Bilingual Lexicography: The State of the Art

2018

This paper measures dictionaries made by Polish Americans against the development of the Polish–English and English–Polish lexicographic tradition. Of twenty nine monoscopal and biscopal glossaries and dictionaries published between 1788 and 1947, four may be treated as mile-stones: Erazm Rykaczewski's (1849–1851), Władysław Kierst and Oskar Callier's (1895), Władysław Kierst's (1926–1928), and Jan Stanisławski's (1929). Unsurprisingly, they came to be widely repub-lished in English-speaking countries, primarily the United States of America, for the sake of Polish-speaking immigrants. One might therefore wonder whether there was any pressing need for new dictionaries. There must have been, …

Le jazz comme culture : le témoignage des mots

2021

International audience; Le jazz fait parfois peur quand on ne le connaît pas… Mais le nombre de festivals de jazz en France et l’omniprésence de son imaginaire (des Aristochats à La La Land !) montre qu’il tient tout de même une place pas si lointaine dans notre culture. Entre séduction et intimidation, le jazz mérite qu’on l’aborde avec la conscience de son étrangeté. Comme pour tout univers qui nous est extérieur, il faut quelques clés pour le comprendre.Dans Jazz Talk, j’ai voulu expliquer le jazz sans le réduire à une simple chronologie. Les mots en révèlent les thématiques et l’humour, les allusions historiques et les codes musicaux. En passant par les titres d’œuvres, interviews, phra…

Définir, dénommer et traduire l'onctuosité : regards croisés sur une propriété gustative et ses dénominations en français, anglais et allemand

2006

International audience; Un simple coup d'œil sur les rayons crèmerie d'un supermarché ou sur les prospectus publicitaires suffit à s'en convaincre : onctueux est un attribut fort prisé en marketing alimentaire. Un test rapide sur google le confirme par ailleurs : pour les seules structures N + A, le moteur de recherche fournit une multitude d'occurrences pour ce domaine avec des syntagmes comme fromage blanc onctueux, potage onctueux mais aussi bûche de Noël au cœur onctueux, riz onctueux ou encore beurre de pomme onctueux. L'objectif de cette contribution est ainsi d'interroger les multiples emplois de l'adjectif onctueux en français et d'en envisager les équivalents possibles en anglais e…

La raza como problema filosófico en los escritos de Nietzsche

2020

The article aims to elucidate the role played by “race” in Nietzsche's writings. Nietzsche’s concept of “race” is analyzed and interpreted together with his lexicon of the transformation of the human being and his critique of culture. The concept of “race” is studied together with other adjacent concepts and similar ideas such as the treatment of the Jewish question, his criticism of nationalism, the figure of good Europeans, the metaphor of the blond beast, the human types and the thought of breeding. It is concluded that “race” has an unquestionable physiological and evolutionary character, but through the process of incorporation (Einverleibung), culture and morals intervene in a fundame…
