Apprendre de l’intime : entre littérature et langues
2016
International audience; Ce volume rassemble les Actes du colloque international "L'intime et l'apprendre (les langues)", tenu à l'université de Bourgogne les 27-28 mars 2014. Il s'ordonne autour de deux grands questionnements, entre littérature, didactique et épistémologie: comment explorer les champs dans lesquels l'intime est à l'oeuvre? Comment identifier les formes actuelles de son potentiel créatif, expressif et développemental?
The Politics of Utopia: Walter Pater’s “Lacedaemon”
2016
Walter Pater is not usually considered as a politically committed writer, neither is Aestheticism of which he was the gifted theoretician with The Renaissance (1873). Although the political commitments of the Aesthetic movement have been questioned over the last two decades, both by including women aesthetes, and by re-evaluating the movement’s dissemination among the middle classes, discussion of Pater’s political ideas is almost non-existent. His Plato and Platonism (1893) is however not so remote from politics since it discusses Plato’s political philosophy. In particular, “Lacedaemon”, the chapter devoted to Sparta, enables Pater to intervene in the political debate from an original sta…
From abugida to alphabet in Konso, Ethiopia
2019
Abstract This study examines the interplay between phonological awareness and orthography in Konso, a Cushitic language in Southwest Ethiopia. Thirty-two adults reading the Konso abugida but with minimal exposure to alphabetic literacy completed an orally administered phoneme deletion task. The responses were then examined using the minimal edit distance hypothesis (Wali, Sproat, Padakannaya & Bhuvaneshwari, 2009) as a framework for the analysis. The results suggest that the difficulty of a deletion was related to the way the phoneme was represented in the Konso abugida. Content-based error analysis of the incorrect responses gave indications of how Konso abugida readers’ processing of …
Developing Academic Thinking in the EFL Writing Classroom: A Rationale for General-academic Writing Assignments
2020
Ante el evidente y continuo crecimiento de la variación disciplinaria en el discurso académico, la noción de enseñar el pensamiento académico básico por escrito parece haberse vuelto cada vez más controvertida. Este artículo ofrece una justificación para dos tareas de escritura académica general, cada una de las cuales se centra en la enseñanza de un aspecto clave de lo que se define como la postura intelectual subyacente a la redacción académica en general: la problematización y la posición del sujeto. Problematizar y asumir una nueva posición del sujeto en el contexto de la escritura académica suelen ser tareas difíciles para muchos estudiantes cuando ingresan en la universidad. Las tare…
A particular coordination structure of Indo-European flavour
2005
The article aims to account for the various, often unexpected positions of the conjunction in coordinated constructions of ancient Indo-European languages, among them Hittite, Ancient Greek, Latin and Vedic Sanskrit. The coordination possibilities of ancient Indo-European languages are derived from the binary branching hypotheses of Universal Grammar, with the result that not only seemingly idiosyncratic facts of a number of languages receive a principled explanation, but also a speculative hypothesis of Universal Grammar receives empirical support; ancient Indo-European languages realize possibilities that are derivable from the Munn-Kayne theory but have not been attested so far.
Constructions verbales intransitives avec préposition et grammaires françaises pour apprenants hispanophones (1970-2016)
2016
Les constructions verbales intransitives avec préposition posent des problèmes aux apprenants hispanophones, notamment dans le cas des verbes qui admettent en espagnol une construction semblable, mais avec une préposition différente. La description du corpus délimité est centrée sur dix grammaires françaises parues en Espagne de 1970 jusqu’à nos jours. L’apparition de ces constructions dans ces grammaires a été étudiée afin d’envisager d’autres manières d’expliquer ce phénomène en tenant compte du contexte d’apprentissage de l’apprenant hispanophone.
On the suffix automaton with mismatches
2007
International audience; In this paper we focus on the construction of the minimal deterministic finite automaton S_k that recognizes the set of suffixes of a word w up to k errors. We present an algorithm that makes use of S_k in order to accept in an efficient way the language of all suffixes of w up to k errors in every window of size r, where r is the value of the repetition index of w. Moreover, we give some experimental results on some well-known words, like prefixes of Fibonacci and Thue-Morse words, and we make a conjecture on the size of the suffix automaton with mismatches.
Indigenous language education in Russia: current issues and challenges
2021
Despite the high number of recognised Indigenous groups who are struggling to maintain their languages, cultures, and identities in Russia, there is little research done on the matters of cultural and linguistic revitalisation. This study sought to address this gap by exploring the views of two Indigenous groups, Karelian and Mari, on the development of their Indigenous languages and educational strategies to protect and revive their languages. The study relied on in-depth one-on-one interviews with 20 participants, ten from each Indigenous group. The findings show that despite older generations’ relative proficiency and interest in their respective Indigenous languages, motivation to maste…
On subjective (and intensifier) I think (that) in parliamentary debate sessions
2018
This paper presents a behavioral analysis of the doxastic form creo (que) as a subjectification modal verb, specifically in its manifestation as a pragmatic intensifier device in a Spanish parliamentary debate. Previous work on creo (que) has suggested that it is indeed an intensifier (Fuentes 2010, Brenes 2015, Cuenca 2015), although many pragmatic approaches to these doxastic verbal forms, not only in the context of Spanish (Hennemann 2012; Albelda, Briz, Cestero, Kotwica y Villalba 2014) but also from other languages (Lakoff 1972; Hooper 1975; Lysvag 1975; Fraser 1975, 1980; Holmes 1984; Caffi 1999, 2004), have classified creo (que) as a marker of attenuation. The goal of this investigat…
