2014

Nel sistema semantico della lingua latina i processi di significazione sono organizzati dall'autore secondo modelli di profondità nei quali gli elementi di tipo logico-semantico si convertono in piani semantico-sintattici per poi passare alla semiosi in cui ogni parola ha una precisa funzione di segno e di significazione di idee.

Perspectives on Pragmatics and Philosophy

2013

This volume provides insight into linguistic pragmatics from the perspective of linguists who have been influenced by philosophy. Theory of Mind and perspectives on point of view are presented along with other topics including: semantics vs. semiotics, clinical pragmatics, explicatures, cancellability of explicatures, interactive language use, reference, common ground, presupposition, definiteness, logophoricity and point of view in connection with pragmatic inference, pragmemes and language games, pragmatics and artificial languages, the mechanism of the form/content correlation from a pragmatic point of view, amongst other issues relating to language use. Relevance Theory is introduced as…

Discursive organisation of tourist guided tours : contributional theorisation and valorisation of a professional praxis

2016

The discourse produced in a guided tour stems from different communicative modalities which include the visit assisted by a socio-technical device and the visit guided by an education and visitor service officer. These two modalities show common characteristics of a guided tour; they also offer significant differences. These differences allow us to compile a corpus divided according to its modalities of production and the languages: written text by professionals of the tourism sector, in French and in Spanish. Several issues arise such as the genre taxonomy of the discourse linked to the specific field studied, the unit of the text segmentation which has to free itself from the scriptural o…

Lingvistiski-pragmatiskā nozīme reklāmas stratēģijās

2018

Pašreizējā bakalaura darba mērķis ir raksturot, kā un kādas reklāmas stratēģijas tiek piemērotas reklāmām "Starbucks" un "Costa Coffee", kā arī aprakstīt pragmatiskos un semantiskos elementus, kas ietverti katrā gadījumā, un tā pārstāvētajā stratēģijā. Bakalaura darba galvenais mērķis ir apspriest reklāmu pamatjēdzienu, jo uzņēmumi mēdz uzrādīt informāciju, ko var saprast vairākos veidos. Reklāma ir mārketinga stratēģija, kurai piemīt spēja parādīt vairākas nozīmes, lietojot vārdu krājumu, vizuālos materiālus un stratēģijas, kas palīdz uzrunāt konkrētu sabiedrības daļu. Datu analīzes metode ir gadījumu izpēte, analīzei tika izvēlēti divi lieli un populāri uzņēmumi ("Starbucks", "Costa Coffe…

Therapeutic activities and the assimilation model: A preliminary exploratory study on the Insight stage

2014

The assimilation model describes the process of change assuming that the self is enriched when there is a dialogue between nondominant voices or problematic experiences and the dominant voices. This dialogue is best seen in the Insight stage. The aim of this paper is to study the Insight stage during the assimilation process in relation to the main therapeutic activities performed by the therapist. All the Insights from the assimilation process of a patient, Maria, were analysed. In assimilation terms, Maria could be described through the nondominant voices of “dizziness,” “tiredness,” and “inability to cope with daily demands,” and through the dominant voices of “control,” “overcome and so…

Graphical modeling and query language for hospitals

2013

Abstract Background So far there has been little evidence that implementation of the health information technologies (HIT) is leading to health care cost savings. One of the reasons for this lack of impact by the HIT likely lies in the complexity of the business process ownership in the hospitals. The goal of our research is to develop a business model-based method for hospital use which would allow doctors to retrieve directly the ad-hoc information from various hospital databases. Methods We have developed a special domain-specific process modelling language called the MedMod. Formally, we define the MedMod language as a profile on UML Class diagrams, but we also demonstrate it on example…

Run-time profiling of functional logic programs

2005

In this work, we introduce a profiling scheme for modern functional logic languages covering notions like laziness, sharing, and non-determinism. Firstly, we instrument a natural (big-step) semantics in order to associate a symbolic cost to each basic operation (e.g., variable updates, function unfoldings, case evaluations). While this cost semantics provides a formal basis to analyze the cost of a computation, the implementation of a cost-augmented interpreter based on it would introduce a huge overhead. Therefore, we also introduce a sound transformation that instruments a program such that its execution—under the standard semantics—yields not only the corresponding results but also the a…

XML Integration and Toolkit for B2B Applications

2003

This paper presents a Web-based data integration methodology and tool framework, called X-TIME, for the development of business-to-business (B2B) design environments and applications. X-TIME provides a data model translator toolkit based on an extensible metamodel and XML. It allows the creation of adaptable semantics oriented metamodels to facilitate the design of wrappers or reconciliators (mediators) by taking into account several characteristics of interoperable information systems such as extensibility and composability. X-TIME defines a set of meta-types for representing meta-level semantic descriptors of data models found in the Web. The meta-types are organized in a generalization h…

Sur la francisation d’un toponyme écossais : l’« Argail » de Charles Nodier

2011

International audience; This study opposes, on the one hand, the concept exposed by linguist and theoretician Charles Nodier (1780-1844) in his Elementary Notions in Linguistics (1834) referring to the inalterable spelling of proper nouns, and, on the other hand, his practice as a storyteller and creator in his Trilby (1822). We will also consider answering the question of the gallicization of the toponym "Argyle" (allusion to the lake region in Scotland), spelled "Argail" by Nodier in his tale, contrary to all expectations. "Argail" , beyond the mere process of transliteration and trompe-l’oeil justifications revealed by Nodier himself in the preface of his book, opens up to subtle manipul…
