A Focused Review of Language Use Preceding Death by Execution.
2018
Executions are one form of death that can be assumed to be maximally anxiety provoking. Words spoken by death row inmates moments before their execution can provide valuable insights into people's end-of-life communication needs and themes, conveying what individuals choose to express to others in the face of imminent death. In this focused review, we describe findings from quantitative and qualitative text analysis studies that have analyzed affective experiences and meaning-making attempts in transcriptions of actual statements made by Texas death row inmates. Overall, the most prevalent content themes identified in these final acts of verbal communication in the reviewed studies consiste…
The Greek Verb. Morphology, Syntax, Semantics. Proceedings of the 8th International Meeting on Greek Linguistics. Agrigento, October 1-3, 2009
2014
Despite the difficulties of reconstructing the grammar of a dead language, studying Ancient Greek offers new insights for linguistic theory. The morphological complexity of the Greek verb with its highly intricate inflectional system provide a valuable basis for an in-depth-analysis of the mechanisms which regulate the functioning of a language. Studies on the Ancient Greek verb have also contributed significantly to the reconstruction of the Indo-European language since the early history of Linguistics in the nineteenth century. The conservative features preserved in the oldest stages of Greek allow us to rely on a solid basis to which every linguist must refer in investigating a model of …

Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą rozkodowania normy prawnej z art. 70 k.k.s.1, która penalizuje bezprawny obrót znakami akcyzy jako czyn karnoskarbowy o charakterze przepołowionym, bo zarówno jako przestępstwo skarbowe, jak i jako wykroczenie skarbowe. Blankietowy charakter normy prawnej z art. 70 k.k.s. wymaga posiłkowania się przepisami innych ustaw celem pełnego ustalenia znaczenia użytych w jej treści pojęć i instytucji prawnych. Istota sprowadza się do tego, że swobodny obrót znakami akcyzy jest zakazany, a obrót nimi jest możliwy jedynie na zasadach stricte normatywnie, czyli prawnie określonych w treści odpowiedniej ustawy.

Les sites du lit mineur de la Saône en Chalonnais (Saône-et Loire) à la fin du Bronze final
2017
The underwater archaeological campaigns carried out over twenty years, from 1970 to 1990, in the Saône valley, more particularly in the area of Chalon-sur-Saône, first by Louis Bonnamour and then by Annie Dumont, generated a considerable quantity of data concerning settlements, located on fjords or river banks. This documentation, stored at the Musée Denon in Chalon-sur-Saône, was the subject of new studies, initiated by Jean-Michel Treffort for the Ouroux-sur-Saône “Marnay” site and continued by Franck Ducreux, notably for the Chalon-sur-Saône “le gué des Piles” site. On this occasion most of the sites of the region having yielded protohistoric assemblages were reconsidered. This article p…

Some theoretical aspects of processes behind the meanings of proverbs and phrases
2013
This article examines the process that makes proverbial utterances meaning-carrying units. The aim is to show why proverbial utterances are used and understood in everyday speech, focusing particularly on their context-connected aspects. Context is understood as a cultural matter, as a matter of an individual experience, and as offering a frame for interpreting an utterance. The examples of Finnish utterances included are taken from both the past and present. The theoretical background of this study stands on the view that language structures reality. Grice’s cooperative principles, Frege’s deviation of lexical and implicated meaning, and Hintikka’s and Sandu’s manner of understanding possi…
Adverbial expressions within the legal domain: from medieval fueros to their consolidation in language
2010
Given the importance of legal language in the study of historical phraseological, it is here analyzed the presence, use and evolution of adverbial phrases in some outstanding medieval fueros, and also how a good number of adverbial expressions have transcended and developed from legal language to other contexts, owed to —at least in some cases— a clear colloquial origin (a sabiendas, por bien...). This characteristic joins many others, such as the creation of complex syntagmas derived from the union of simple expressions: de cabo a rabo, a diestro y a sinestro, a tuerto o a derecho, etc. It is therefore interesting to study the individual, particular history of each adverbial phrase found, …
Possession and volition in the development of modal meanings: a case-study from Sicilian
2019
This article analyses two Sicilian modal constructions involving vuliri 'want' + infinitive and aviri a ‘have to’ + infinitive. They are used to express modal values, both non-epistemic and epistemic, and futurity. Based on Langacker's Cognitive Grammar assumptions, we describe the semantic network associated with each modal, as well as their semantic overlap. In addition, we describe how modal values interact with temporal-aspectual inflection. Our analysis shows that the epistemic values of vuliri are quite peripheral, while aviri a shows a high degree of polysemy, both in the non-epistemic and in the more abstract epistemic domain. The non-epistemic-to-epistemic shifts depend on the cont…
Modal verbs, future and grammaticalization in Old Catalan : a cognitive approach
2015
The process of grammaticalization of Catalan modal verbs deure, haver and tenir involves a semantic change, a rise of new meanings and an increase in their semantic network. On the one hand, deontic modal verbs develop inferential evidential meanings, and, on the other, future meanings (posteriority).This corpus-based study focuses on the rise of future meanings of modal verb deure ('must') (between the 12th and the 16th centuries). We have been able to analyse the process of grammaticalization with absolute reliability thanks to the applied technology of the Corpus of Old Catalan (CICA and CIGCA), in which linguistic variation is quite representative. This study takes a cognitive perspecti…
