Clausal coordination in Finnish Sign Language

2016

This paper deals with the coordination of clauses in Finnish Sign Language (FinSL). Building on conversational data, the paper first shows that linking in conjunctive coordination in FinSL is primarily asyndetic, whereas in adversative and disjunctive coordination FinSL prefers syndetic linking. Secondly, the paper investigates the nonmanual prosody of coordination: nonmanual activity is shown both to mark the juncture of the coordinand clauses and to draw their contours. Finally, the paper addresses certain forms of clausal coordination in FinSL that are sign language-specific. It is suggested that the sign language-specific properties of coordination are caused both by the fact that signe…

Diachronie, analogie et iconicité : vers un principe d'adaptation sémiologique

2014

ACL Nat Axe 3; National audience; L’on constate, en linguistique diachronique, une tendance croissante à lier les évolutions linguistiques à la notion d’iconicité. Plus précisément, plusieurs des processus du changement linguistique, comme bon nombre de ses étapes, semblent orientés en vertu d’une tendance à l’accroissement de l’iconicité dans la langue. Or, parmi ces processus, l’analogie tient un rôle particulier dans la mesure où elle est associée à une simplification du système, à une harmonisation de ses formes. Mais si l’iconicité demeure un principe usuellement situé sur le plan cognitif, ses effets se mesurent aussi sur le plan de la sémiologie, autrement dit des signes qui constitu…

Intertekstualność w demotywatorach

2017

Demotivators as a new kind of hybrid texts, namely texts combining text with graphics very often refer and allude to the texts embedded in literature and culture. Intertextuality in such texts is realised on the lexical and graphical level. Frequently, winged words form a verbal layer of the demotivators, while a graphical layer refers to the works of art: paintings, films, book illustrations, etc. The authors of the demotivators refer to the literary works, pictures, namely to the works embedded in culture to comment the current events.

Teorie fonosimboliche nella storia

2016

L'article esquisse de manière très synthétique les caractéristiques distinctives des trois principaux types de théories du signe qui au cours de l'histoire ont tenté de définir le rapport entre le son et le sens dans le langage, et en suggère une interprétation épistémologique d'un point de vue socio-anthropologique: les théories conventionnalistes semblent caractériser les cultures écrites matures, les théories mystiques de la parole "créatrice du monde" caractériseraient au contraire les cultures orales et enfin les théories imitatives semblent être typiques des périodes de crise de la culture écrite nécessitant de puiser de nouveau à la perspective orale pour produire de l'innovation thé…

Dispositivi pittorici nella narrativa di Vincenzo Consolo.

2018

The study highlights the originality of Consol's stylistic experimentation and examines the iconological construction of novels. The adoption of an iconic perspective is the rhetorical strategy with which the Sicilian author formalizes techniques of metaphorical irradiation and analogical sequences.The problematic intensity of the historic invention is set out in a complex mesh of symmetries and antitheses among pictorial and narrative symbols, and is articulated as metonymic flow of images that are able to show materials and forms of the modern novel.

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…

Visual Tools in Virtual Reality: Complex Environment

1994

In this paper, we analyse an integrated system able to merge graphical and vision technique in order to improve virtual space environment. Virtual space is characterized by Dynamic Visual Icons and Virtual Reality for arising a hererogeneous environment. Essentially, we propose a fusion technique between visual icon and virtual space, where their integration is supported by Visual lcon Grammar (VIG) working on Dynamic lcon and Visual World. VIG allows to test the actions of the Dynamic Icon on the active Visual Word metaphor at the lime "t", and the different rage of transactions between user and VW(visual query, view and brows of under-world,... ). Moreover, user can define, modify and rem…

Verso una dimensione narrativa delle mappe

2021

Tra il pensiero e la costruzione dell’architettura il disegno ha un ruolo baricentrico per connettere i diversi protagonisti di una realizzazione e per coinvolgere la collettività facendo percepire inedite prospettive. La scrittura si rivela utile per esplicitare ciò che nella grafica è sotteso e per stabilire un ordine nuovo nel ragionamento progettuale. I rapporti fra segni e significati si moltiplicano nei sistemi informativi recenti in cui si ha la sensazione di poter dire moltissimo (dati numerici e spaziali) ma a volte sfugge quella sintesi indispensabile per una interpretazione concreta, finalizzata alla costruzione di possibili esperienze fisiche. Per l’esplorazione dell’uso di dive…
