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…

L'iconicité phonologique dans les neurosciences cognitives et dans la tradition linguistique française

2014

A significant part of the recent research in language neuropsychology and neurophysiology seems to revive the long-standing hypothesis of an originally motivated relations hip between phonetics and semantics. Even if phonological iconicity is a long neglected subject in linguistics, particularly in French linguistics of the second half of the XXth century, a long tradition of researches does exist. It can be traced back to Plato in the old age and to Leibniz in modern age, and it has important manifestations in France too. This article aims to illustrate critically the theories of phonological iconicity developed by Charles de Brosses at the age of Enlightenment (1765), by Maurice Grammont …

Tracing the indexicalization of the notion "Helsinki s"

2017

AbstractEarlier research has concluded that there is a strong symbolic relationship between Helsinki as a place and non-standard /s/ pronunciation. This phenomenon is likewise in continuous evidence in the Finnish media and social media. The notion of “Helsinki s” has become a folk linguistic fact although it lacks a clear linguistic correlate or even status as a linguistic fact. The only sibilant of the Finnish language is officially a voiceless alveolar, while the “Helsinki s” is most often discussed as “hissing”, “sharp” or “fronted”. However, according to recent research based on listening tasks, any /s/ may be designated and discussed as a “Helsinki s” if the speaker is regarded as a H…

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…

Korejiešu valodā sastopamo ideofonu pazīmes

2018

Šī bakalaura darba tēma ir “Korejiešu valodā sastopamo ideofonu īpašības”.Ideofoni jeb vārdi apveltīti ar skaņu simboliskām īpašībām veido lielu daļu korejiešu valodas vārdu krājuma. Ideofonu referenti līdzinās valodas zīmei, kas to paskaidro, tādēļ tie ir jāpēta un jāanalizē no skaņu simbolisma teorijas skatpunkta. Ferdinanda de Sosīra valodas zīmes patvaļīguma teorijas popularitātes dēļ ideofonu izpēte 20. gadsimtā bija lielākoties atstāta novārtā vai arī veikta no morfoloģiskā nevis fonosemantiskā skatpunkta. Šajā darbā tiek pievērsta uzmanība korejiešu valodā sastopamo ideofonu pazīmēm un to sistemātiski semantiskajai dabai. Darba mērķiirapkopot aktuālo informāciju par skaņu simbolisma …

Guessing Meaning From Word Sounds of Unfamiliar Languages: A Cross-Cultural Sound Symbolism Study

2019

Sound symbolism refers to a non-arbitrary relationship between the sound of a word and its meaning. With the aim to better investigate this relationship by using natural languages, in the present cross-linguistic study 215 Italian and Polish participants were asked to listen to words pronounced in 4 unknown non-indo-European languages (Finnish, Japanese, Swahili, Tamil) and to try to guess the correct meaning of each word, by choosing among 3 alternatives visualized on a computer screen. The alternatives were presented in the mother tongue of participants. Three different word categories were presented: nouns, verbs and adjectives. A first overall analysis confirmed a semantic role of sound…
