La fixité thématique du discours du vin en français et en allemand : analyses et proposition d’un modèle quadri-dimensionnel
2020
International audience; La présente contribution vise à souligner la fixité thématique dans les descriptions de vin en français et en allemand, réunies dans un corpus multimodal bilingue [3]. Il s'agira de mettre en évidence les quatre composantes sémantiques de ces descriptions [4], qui sont stabilisées pour les genres textuels associés à la vente du vin, mais qui subissent des variations en termes de proportions lorsque le genre textuel se spécifie. Ces continuités thématiques s'inscrivent en effet dans une progression textuelle marquée par d'incessants aller-retour avec la trame discursive de l'énoncé, et c'est précisément à l'interface texte-discours que s'actualisent (entre autres), da…
Extracting (good) discourse examples from an oral specialised corpus of wine tasting interactions
2015
International audience; This article outlines the semi-automated extraction of dictionary examples used in the compilation of a professional online dictionary of wine tasting. Named OenoLex Bourgogne, this dictionary was started to respond to the demand for a lexicographic information tool from the French wine industry of Burgundy, the Bureau Interprofessionnel des Vins de Bourgogne.
Fine-tuning lexical bundles : a methodological reflection in the context of describing drug-drug interactions
2018
This chapter has two major aims. First, it attempts to extend earlier research on recurrent phraseologies used in the pharmaceutical field (Grabowski 2015) by exploring the use, distribution and functions of lexical bundles found in English texts describing drug-drug interactions. Conducted from an applied perspective, the study uses 300 text samples extracted from DrugDDI Corpus originally collected in the Drugbank database (Segura-Bedmar et al. 2010). Apart from presenting new descriptive data, the second aim of the chapter is to reflect on the ways lexical bundles have been typically explored across different text types and genres. The problems discussed in the chapter concern the method…
The Eco-tourist in Canadian and Italian national Parks
2013
The present paper aims to compare the image of the eco-tourist across languages and cultures, Canadian and Italian. An ad-hoc comparable corpus has been created from the official websites of National Parks which represent a kind of eco-tourist destination. The analysis attempts to trace a profile of Canadian and Italian eco-tourists Drawing upon the Functional Grammar (Halliday 1985) and addresses issues connected with Hall’s model (1983): Are Canadian and Italian ecotourism discourses shaped by their own cultural orientation, or do they attempt to speak in the tongue of the displaced tourist?
La gramaticalització del futur i el condicional en català antic: el cas de les Vides de sants rosselloneses i els Furs de València
2021
El futur i el condicional de les llengües romàniques sorgeixen de la perífrasi llatina CANTĀRE HABEŌ mitjançant un procés de gramaticalització que passa per diferents estadis. En la llengua medieval, conviuen les formes sintètiques (el faré, faré-lo) i les formes analítiques (fer-lo he), que es distribueixen segons els diferents entorns sintàctics seguint la sintaxi medieval dels pronoms febles. En aquest estudi de corpus, s’extrauen mitjançant el CICA les dades de dues obres del segle XIII, un text religiós, les Vides de sants rosselloneses, i un text jurídic, els Furs de València, per tal de conèixer la sintaxi dels clítics medievals i d’observar el grau de gramaticalització que mostren l…
Targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor system to prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
2008
BACKGROUND: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) typically occurs when ovaries are primed with FSH/ LH and subsequently exposed to hCG. The ultimate pathophysiological step underlying this clinical picture is increased vascular permeability (VP). METHODS: A search of the literature was carried out using PubMed and the authors’ files. RESULTS: In rodents and humans, the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) mRNA increases during ovarian stimulation. With the administration of hCG, the expression of each rises to a maximum. Expression of VEGF/VEGFR-2 mRNAs correlates with enhanced VP, with both peaking 48 h following an injection of hCG. Imm…
Locust neuropeptides stimulating sex pheromone production in female European corn borer moth, Ostrinia nubilalis
1990
Abstract The presence of a pheromonotropically active hormone (PBAN-like substance) from locust organs, ( Locusta migratoria ) has been demonstrated. Extracts of brain, corpora cardiaca, corpora allata, suboesophageal ganglia and thoracic ganglia of L. migratoria caused highly pheromonotropic responses in decapitated females of the European corn borer moth ( Ostrinia nubilalis ). The highest activity per unit weight of tissue was found in the corpora cardiaca and corpora allata of the locust followed by the brain plus suboesophageal ganglion of O. nubilalis . Following 8 days of disconnection, separating the corpora allata from the corpora cardiaca and suboesophageal ganglion, the pheromono…
Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) Is a Modulator of Human Luteal Cell Steroidogenesis: Localization of the IL Type I System in the Corpus Luteum1
1999
The present investigation examined the effect of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) on progesterone production by human luteal cells and the expression and localization of the IL-1 system in the human corpus luteum (CL). Luteal cells were isolated from corpora lutea collected throughout the luteal phase. After dispersion, luteal cells were treated with a panel of monoclonal antibodies directed to leukocyte-specific molecules. The leukocytes were isolated with immunomagnetic beads. Leukocyte-free luteal cells exhibited greater steroidogenic responsiveness to hCG toward the end of the luteal phase. The treatment of mixed luteal cells (total luteal cells) with IL-1beta inhibited by 60% hCG-stimulate…
