Quelles approches cognitives pour les discours spécialisés ?

2018

Doctoral; Cet atelier doctoral part initialement d’une conférence prononcée au département de français de l’Université Craiova (Roumanie) en 2013 et capitalise sur les projets développés depuis à la MSH de Dijon, ainsi que sur les premiers résultats de thèses en cours, en particulier dans le domaine de la linguistique sensorielle.L’objectif est tout d’abord de situer la recherche sur les discours spécialisés au sein des sciences du langage, mais pas seulement, en partant de la proposition de Condamines / Narcy-Combes (2015) pour qui la linguistique appliquée, dont relève traditionnellement les discours spécialisés, est forcément une science située. On en tire les conséquences méthodologique…

Verbal compounding in Latin: the case of -MAKE verbs

2013

This paper aims at describing Latin compound verbs (CVs) whose second member is a verbal constituent connected with facio ‘to make’. Though there is a large literature on CVs in other languages, little has been said on Latin (Flobert 1978; Fruyt 2001 inter al.). CVs are extremely interesting in several respects. First, compared to Latin nominal compounds, whose core consists of exocentric formations, -MAKE CVs are endocentric constructions (Brucale 2012). Second, they represent an island of productivity in the generally unproductive area of verbal compounding in Latin. Third, they can be compared to analogous constructions in other Indo-European languages, viz. Persian and Hindi, which exhi…

The Lithuanian "have" - resultative - a typological curiosum?

2012

ABSTRACT Björn Wiemer. The Lithuanian HAVE-resultative - A Typological Curiosum? Lingua Posnaniensis, vol. LIV (2)/2012. The Poznań Society for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences. PL ISSN 0079-4740, ISBN 978-83-7654-252-2, pp. 69-81. This article presents the Lithuanian possessive resultative construction with the verb turėti ‘have’ and discusses its place in a typology of forms of resultative constructions. While possessive resultatives with a past passive participle (as in Polish Kolację mamy już przygotowaną lit. ‘We have the dinner already prepared’) are found in areally related as well as other languages, Lithuanian stands out in using an active participle (more precisely: a part…

Les constructions causatives avec mouvement en allemand : d'une saisie phraséologique à une explication constructionnelle

2013

International audience; Cet article propose une analyse constructionnelle de certaines structures de l'allemand (du type Sie sang das Kind in den Schlaf) en les situant par rapport aux constructions causatives avec mouvement (caused motion constructions) analysées en anglais par Goldberg (1995). La thèse centrale repose sur l'idée d'un continuum de causativité partant d'un côté de mini systèmes plus ou moins grammaticalisés et/ou lexicalisés (locutions à verbe fonctionnel) pour se clore sur des structures au premier abord difficilement explicables en termes de constructions régulières. La démonstration vise à mettre en évidence l'existence d'un schéma, relativement abstrait, commun aux diff…

Spelling out consequences : conditional constructions as a means to resist proposals in organisational planning process

2016

Organisational planning processes often materialise as a series of meetings, where the future of the organisation is jointly discussed and negotiated as a part of local decision-making sequences. Using conversation and discourse analytical approaches, this article investigates how proposals concerning the future can also be resisted by employing a specific device, a conditional construction ( if X, then Y). The data for the study originate from a city organisation, whose customer services are being developed. The results show how the conditional constructions work in two interrelated ways. First, by introducing a problematic hypothetical situation, they outline the undesirable consequences…

8000 years of coastal changes on a western Mediterranean island: A multiproxy approach from the Posada plain of Sardinia

2018

Abstract A multi-proxy palaeoenvironmental investigation was conducted to reconstruct the Holocene history of coastal landscape change in the lower Posada coastal plain of eastern Sardinia. In the Mediterranean region, coastal modifications during the Holocene have been driven by a complex interplay between climate, geomorphological processes and human activity. In this paper, millennial-scale human-sea level-environment interactions are investigated near Posada, one of the largest coastal plains in eastern Sardinia. Biostratigraphic and palynological approaches were used to interpret the chrono-stratigraphy exhibited by a series of new cores taken from the coastal plain. This new study elu…

Meaning Extraction from Strappare Causatives in Italian

2021

The work targets a little-known causative construction of Italian whose causative verb is strappare ‘tear/extort/snatch’ (e.g. Ada strappò la confessione a Piero ‘Ada made Piero confess against his will’). In the active voice of this clause type, the subject, licensed by strappare, is invariably associated with the semantic role ‘Causer’ (as fare does in fare causatives, see [1]), whilst the post-verbal NP (e.g. confessione ‘confession’) is best analyzed as the predicate licensing the remaining syntactic function/s and the related semantic role/s. The NooJ grammar which the authors propose automatically extracts the meaning of strappare causatives by means of a novel type of semantic role. …

Seasonal changes in sediment core PS1795-2

2014

The Weddell Sea and the associated Filchner-Rønne Ice Shelf constitute key regions for global bottomwater production today. However, little is known about bottom-water production under different climate and icesheet conditions. Therefore, we studied core PS1795, which consists primarily of fine-grained siliciclastic varves that were deposited on contourite ridges in the southeastern Weddell Sea during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). We conducted high-resolution X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and grain-size measurements with the RADIUS tool (Seelos and Sirocko, 2005, doi:10.1111/j.1365-3091.2005.00715.x) using thin sections to characterize the two seasonal components of the varves at sub-…

Le continuum lexique-grammaire en genre spécialisé à partir de corpus maison

2017

International audience; [Problématique et objectifs] La proposition, qui s’inscrit dans l’axe 5 de l’appel « Corpus, études contrastives et traduction » vise à interroger l’apport des corpus spécialisés maison (Loock 2016a, b) pour la mise au jour, pour la traduction professionnelle et la formation de traducteurs, des patrons lexico-grammaticaux inhérents à des moules textuels (Gautier 2009) hautement contraints, en langue(s) traduite(s). On discutera en particulier, à la suite de Kübler/Gledhill (2016 : 75), l’idée selon laquelle l’interrogation systématique de corpus homogènes permet d’aboutir à une représentation holistique vérifiée des interactions entre lexique et grammaire, surtout qu…
