Llengua i societat en la medicina tradicional i popular dels segles XVIII i XIX
2001
This text constitutes a study and critical edition of a Valencian prescription manuscript, from the beginning of the XIX century, which has remained practically unknown up to the present day. It juxtaposes early instances of the language in this genre with the presence of the traditional forms of the names of diseases or medicines in Valencian popular literature of the XVIII and XIX centuries.
La cosificació de les normes d'ús lingüístic. Aspectes sociològics d'un discurs distorsionat
1996
The subject matter of sociolinguistics are the rules or patterns of the functioning of language. But rules and transgressions are complementary facts, and sociolinguists must study both conventional and intentional language use (that is, traditional and meaningful social actions). When sociolinguistics deals exclusively with norms, but ne t with transgressions, sociolinguists reify a socially constructed reality. By applying the concept of reification, we consider that sociolinguists confuse rules, laws and regularities; therefore, more interpretation is needed to complement explanation, and it seems that sociolinguistics needs more «research programmes» studying the importance of individua…
Entre socioterminologie et ethnoterminologie de l'entreprise
2016
The analysis of the designations of the commercial jobs reveals an important terminological vagueness between specialty language and common language, a vagueness conveyed by the multiplicity of the sources and of the concerned medias. Based on this observation, we propose a socioterminological and ethnoterminological study aiming at referencing the current terminological units in the speech of the company as well as of the employees. The international group Michelin, the subject of the study, presents a very rich terminological group but especially a terminology motivated by a particular historical and cultural context. Then the company becomes a model of thought and the analysis is an atte…
Multilingualism in (Foreign) Language Teaching and Learning
2019
I am an applied linguist who considers language learning to be a socially constructed practice. In fact, I would rather talk about applied language studies than applied linguistics, as I understand this area of inquiry to include any language-related research that bears a strong connection to societally significant phenomena. In that broad palette of research, my own work would be placed at the interface of the areas of language learning and teaching, on the one hand, and discourse studies and sociolinguistics, on the other. I have always worked with students who wish to be language teachers. Over the years, I have seen hundreds of students entering working life that is in constant turmoil.…
Teacher as creator: Orchestrating the learning environment to promote learner development
2022
Sociocultural theory (SCT) is a powerful basis for exploring and guiding L2 (second/foreign language) learner development. For the most part, however, the focus of classroom SCT-L2 has been on single activities, for example, teacher mediation of learners’ writing process or peer scaffolding. In this paper, we expand on these studies, building on Vygotsky’s (1997) metaphor of teacher as a creator of learner development. We propose how activities (1) where agency for guiding development lies with learners, (2) where the teacher takes the lead in guiding learner development, and (3) where opportunities for development emerge in dialogical interaction between the teacher and learners can be or…
Symbolisme phonétique et transmodalité

Which status for sensoric based discourses on digital social networks? Methodological reflections based on a corpus of wine descriptions in French an…
2019
International audience; [Context] The rise of digital humanities, embracing the expansion of digital speech production of western societies, imposes to reconsider the status of textual data – especially for specialized discourses (Lerat 1995, Petit 2010), for which written discourse has always been the most analyzed form of language use. Siever (2015: 85-86) has already raised the issue of the very nature of digital discourses in terms of medium, such as defined alongside the traditional oral-written-continuum (Koch & Oesterreicher 1994: 528). This led to a necessary theoretical and methodological shift giving priority to the conceptual level as embodied in the distance-proximity paradigm (…
Periodismo especializado y especialización política
2015
En este artículo se revisa la bibliografía sobre periodismo especializado y se analizan los rasgos normalmente aducidos para identificar la especialización periodística, que apuntan por lo general al contenido de los textos: la especificidad temática, el enfoque en profundidad, la metodología de investigación, el recurso a fuentes expertas, la necesidad de formación complementaria a la pro-piamente periodística, la orientación a audiencias segmentadas, el uso de géneros textuales con-cretos, o la adecuación lingüística. La aplicación de estos mismos factores a la especialización políti-ca pone de manifiesto la necesidad de cuestionar los rasgos aducidos y considerar otros criterios en el co…
Persuaziâ, manipulâciâ i religioznyj âzyk:teoretičeskij aspekt
2021
This article is an attempt at a theolinguistic description of such concepts as manipulation, persuasia, and religious language. The author focuses primarily on the theoretical aspect of the stated problem. In the first part of the work, such concepts as manipulation, persuasia and speech influence are analyzed. Their hierarchy is being organized and it is concluded that persuasia and manipulation, when considered in “pure form” is the polar form of speech influence, different in means of achieving the goal: if persuasia is an open speech influence, suggesting a deliberate choice by the recipient, speech influence with the sign “+”, then the manipulation is speech influence, often using hidd…
La relació entre història de la llengua i història literària
2021
La relació entre la disciplina història de la llengua i la disciplina història de la literatura ha estat una relació de subordinació, tant des del punt vista conceptual com metodològic. La primera ha estat subordinada a la segona. En aquest article tractem en primer lloc de les circumstàncies i els esdeveniments històrics que han determinat aquesta situació de subordinació: la identificació cultural entre llengua i literatura (però amb la supeditació de la primera a la segona), el naixement de la lingüística romànica (que, paradoxalment, no va afavorir l’autonomia de la història de la llengua) i la desclosa de les cultures nacionals, que també van donar prioritat a la literatura nacional. E…
