Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce recueil de 18 essais linguistiques francais et anglais est bilingue: les essais francais sont suivis de resumes anglais, et vice versa. Les essais explorent divers sujets du domaine lexico-semantico-textuel. En voici quelques-uns: formation et semantique lexicale et terminologique (neologie, synonymie, metaphore, definition, motivation); linguistique de textes; comparaison anglais-francais; theorie linguistique (structure, ouvertures lexicales, poststructalisme); linguistique de la langue de specialite et de la terminologie (domaine ou l'auteur a surtout gagne une consideration internationale): descriptions de la langue poetique (metaphores de la pieuvre hugolenne, langue et traductions d'une piece de Shakespieare et Fletcher). La linguistique du recueil est raisonnee plutot que postmoderne, ses analyses sont empiriquement basees sur les textes, adoptant l'approche 'recognitive' plutot que generative. La langue des essais n'est pas formalisee, c'est une langue savante naturelle, claire. le recueil est pourvu de riches bibliographies, et d'index detailles de termes et d'auteurs. This collection of eighteen French and English linguistic essays is bilingual: French essays are followed by English summaries, and vice versa. The topics, while quite varied, belong to the lexico-semantico-textual area of linguistics. Examples of topics dealt with: lexical and terminological formation and semantics (neology, synonymy, metaphor, definition, motivation); text linguistics; English-French comparison; linguistic theory (structure, openness of the lexical system, poststructuralism); linguistics of specialized language and terminology (area in which the author has particularly gained international recognition); descriptions of the poetic language (Hugo's octopus metaphors, language and translations of a play by Shakespeare and Fletcher). The author's linguistics is reason-oriented rather than postmodern, his analysis is empirically based on texts, opting for a 'recognitive' rather than a generative approach. The language of the essays is not formalyzed, it is a clear specialized natural language. The essays are provided with extensive bibliographies and with a detailed index of terms and authors.

Download or read book Metaphor and Translation written by Dorota Śliwa and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-16 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together the ideas put forward at an international conference on Metaphor and Translation held at the University of Toulon, France, in June 2017. The bilingual nature of the contributions here provides an insight into recent linguistic theories from both the English- and French-speaking worlds. This diversified approach is further enhanced by contributors being based in a large number of countries worldwide and working on different language combinations. The kinds of problem areas investigated here include a wide range of themes. They cover aspects ranging from methodological and theoretical issues to specialist areas such as literature, culture and the economy. Whatever the theoretical approach applied, the findings come up with interesting and useful conclusions as to how metaphor is translated in the types of discourse analysis proposed. As a result, this volume will be of interest to both scholars and students involved in metaphor studies and translation, as well as to professional translators wishing to keep track of recent theories and practical issues in the field.

Download or read book Writing through the Visual and Virtual written by Renée Larrier and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-11-12 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing Through the Visual and Virtual: Inscribing Language, Literature, and Culture in Francophone Africa and the Caribbean interrogates conventional notions of writing. The contributors—whose disciplines include anthropology, art history, education, film, history, linguistics, literature, performance studies, philosophy, sociology, translation, and visual arts—examine the complex interplay between language/literature/arts and the visual and virtual domains of expressive culture. The twenty-five essays explore various patterns of writing practices arising from contemporary and historical forces that have impacted the literatures and cultures of Benin, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, Guadeloupe, Haiti, Martinique, Morocco, Niger, Reunion Island, and Senegal. Special attention is paid to how scripts, though appearing to be merely decorative in function, are often used by artists and performers in the production of material and non-material culture to tell “stories” of great significance, co-mingling words and images in a way that leads to a creative synthesis that links the local and the global, the “classical” and the “popular” in new ways

Download or read book Institutional Translation for International Governance written by Fernando Prieto Ramos and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a state-of-the-art overview of institutional translation issues related to the development of international law and policies for supranational integration and governance. These issues are explored from various angles in selected papers by guest specialists and findings of a large-scale research project led by the editor. Focus is placed on key methodological and policy aspects of legal communication and translation quality in a variety of institutional settings, including several comparative studies of the United Nations and European Union institutions. The first book of its kind on institutional translation with a focus on quality of legal communication, this work offers a unique combination of perspectives drawn together through a multilayered examination of methods (e.g. corpus analysis, comparative law for translation and terminological analysis), skills and working procedures. The chapters are organized into three sections: (1) contemporary issues and methods; (2) translation quality in law- and policy-making and implementation; and (3) translation and multilingual case-law.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il y a aujourd'hui de nombreuses raisons de revenir a la situation des sciences du langage a la charniere des XIX et XX siecle: retour de la question de l'origine du langage, interrogations sur le statut cognitif de l'activite langagiere, multiplication des travaux de comparaison et de typologie des langues, eclatement de la linguistique en sciences du langage... Avec les Antinomies linguistiques, Victor Henry livre en 1896 une reflexion principielle sur la linguistique et ses rapports avec les autres sciences humaines en voie de constitution. Le present ouvrage souhaite a la fois reunir des informations precises sur une figure oubliee de l'histoire des idees linguistiques modernes dans la plupart de ses champs d'activite, et reconstituer sans complaisance ni visee teleologique une partie du reseau d'influences, de problematiques, d'idees novatrices, d'inerties institutionnelles... que le succes du Cours de Saussure et celui du structuralisme a partiellement occulte. En quoi consiste la generalite de la linguistique generale de la fin du XIX siecle? Comment emerge le theme de l'autonomie de la linguistique a cette epoque? Quels espoirs pouvait-on placer dans la psychologie du langage alors en pleine essor? Ces questions sont permanentes. Elles ne sont pas eternelles. Les reponses qu'on y apporte sont l'objet d'une histoire a laquelle ce volume entend contribuer.

Download or read book L nonciation M diatis e II Le Traitement pist mologique de L information written by Jon Landaburu and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avec ce recueil qui reunit dix-huit contributions, nous poursuivons la quete collective entreprise dans le volume L'enonciation mediatisee ou, pour eviter toute confusion conceptuelle et terminologique, une distinction avait ete introduite entre mediatif et enonciation mediatisee. Rappelons que, selon cette distinction, le terme de mediatif designe une categorie grammaticale qui, fondee sur des oppositions formelles au sein du systeme grammatical d'une langue, permet a l'enonciateur de presenter des situations (...) dont il n'assume pas la responsabilite pour en avoir eu connaissance par voie indirecte, d'ou la possibilite pour lui de manifester divers degres de distance par rapport au contenu de son propre message (Guentcheva 1996: 11).Notons que le mediatif exclut de son champ semantique tout fait presente comme un constat ou lie a la perception visuelle, que les degres de distance que l'enonciateur manifeste a l'egard du contenu propositionnel du message transmis, laissent l'enonce en dehors de toute assignation en vrai ou en faux (ibid.) et qu'il ne releve pas de la modalite epistemique. En revanche, l'enonciation mediatisee n'implique pas necessairement de procedes grammaticalises qui s'organisent en un systeme coherent au sein de la langue, bien que, dans un contexte particulier, une forme verbale puisse recevoir une valeur mediative ou qu'un element syntaxique comme certains adverbes ou expressions adverbiales puisse conduire a une interpretation mediative de la phrase.Rappelons egalement que les contributions au recueil en question attestaient de la complexite du phenomene mediatif, de la variete de procedes morphosyntaxiques et lexicaux mis en uvre dans l'expression de la notion de mediation (ou de mediatisation) et de la relation complexe que la categorie du mediatif entretient d'une part avec la valeur de resultativite liee au parfait et d'autre part, avec la modalite epistemique.C'est le questionnement sur cette variete de procedes morphosyntaxiques et sur la pertinence de la notion de mediation ou de mediatisation dans d'autres langues du monde qui est a l'origine de ce second volume.

Download or read book Charles Bally 1865 1947 written by Jean-Louis Chiss and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage s'inscrit dans le cadre des recherches en histoire des theories linguistiques et didactiques. Centre sur une oeuvre, celle de Charles Bally, il s'est construit a partir des questions qu'elle nous pose et que nous posons a travers elle. Le terme d'historicite dans le titre vient rappeler qu'au-dela des conditions de production du discours de Bally, de son contexte historico-geographique, epistemologique et culturel, les problematiques mises en place n'ont pas epuise - tant s'en faut - leur energie questionnante. Qu'il s'agisse de la stylistique, de la perspective enonciative et sociologique, de l'apprentissage et de l'enseignement des langues, ce theoricien du langage n'est plus a tirer de l'oubli, de l'indifference ou de la marginalisation. L'ambition est certes ici d'explorer plus avant telle facette de l'oeuvre d'un grand linguiste mais surtout de montrer que son travail s'inscrit a la confluence de problematiques essentielles pour la linguistique, la didactique des langues et les sciences humaines: les relations entre pensee et langage, entre langue et litterature, le sujet dans la langue, le systeme et ses variations, la langue a enseigner et a apprendre. Organisees en quatre ensembles (Theorie generale et elements de reception; Debats sur la stylistique; Problematiques enonciatives et sociolinguistiques; Langue, societe et ecole), les contributions du present volume dessinent un continuum marque de multiples recurrences comme si chacune d'elles disait a la fois la specificite d'une prise et la necessite d'un point de vue synthetique.

Download or read book Cahiers de Recherche Tome 9 Points de vue sur l inversion written by Christine Copy and published by Editions OPHRYS. This book was released on 2007-07-27 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce numéro, réservé à un fait de langue plutôt qu'à une école théorique, s'adresse en priorité à tous ceux - étudiants de master ou de concours, chercheurs débutants ou confirmés - qui sont intéressés par la question de l'ordre des mots et de l'inversion du sujet (V-S ou LOC-V-S ou ADJ-V-S) dans la phrase assertive. Le but des responsables du volume (Christine Copy & Lucie Gournay) a été de regrouper dans un même recueil des articles ou des synthèses relevant d'approches différentes sur un phénomène qui est largement débattu en ce moment par un bon nombre de linguistes, en particulier par les linguistes énonciativistes. Au-delà des clivages théoriques, ou de la variété des disciplines, il a semblé pertinent de regrouper sous une même couverture les problématiques et les hypothèses formulées par les spécialistes de la question. En effet, toutes les contributions proviennent de chercheurs qui ont déjà travaillé sur des problèmes d'agencement de phrases. De plus, dans chaque contribution, il est fait mention des acquis des approches " adverses "... et l'on se rend compte que la confrontation va de pair avec une certaine complémentarité. Ainsi cet ouvrage a une double ambition : concerner tous ceux qui travaillent sur l'ordre des mots en français et en anglais, apporter une contribution non négligeable à la comparaison des idées en linguistique.
