This comparison reveals clear differences between the two corpora, with the textbooks containing a much higher proportion of concrete everyday words than the COBUILD texts and a lack of many of the common abstract words need for an understanding of the language of the news media. of certain of the linguistic criteria for text typology suggested by D.Biber. With the help of these criteria, it was possible to show that the textbooks tend to be interactive and to have situated content and reported style, while the COBUILD texts seem to be edited, to have abstract content and more immediate style. in terms of the linguistic differences between British and American English. It was found that the linguistic orientation of both corpora is overwhelmingly British. described above, among them a list of the 9330 textbook lemmas with a fequency of 5 or more.

Download or read book C ORAL ROM written by Emanuela Cresti and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The C-ORAL-ROM book and DVD provide a unique set of comparable corpora of spontaneous speech for the main Romance languages, French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. The corpora are accompanied by comparative linguistic studies, models and standard linguistic measures of spoken language variability. Each corpus is built to the same design using identical sampling techniques, and each corpus is presented in multimedia format, allowing simultaneous access to aligned acoustic and textual information. Texts are headed with information about provenance, participants, etc. and the transcriptions show changes of speaker. Speech acts are tagged according to the evidence of prosodic criteria. Each corpus totals 300,000 words and presents formal and informal speech in a variety of contexts of use, dialogue structure and text genres, semantic domains and speech act typologies. The corpora have great statistical relevance for spoken language structures and can address key issues in human language technology such as speech recognition in unrestricted discourse, the suitability of speech synthesis in natural prosody, and multilingual applications of the spoken language interface. The work provides new data and innovative theoretical perspectives that are relevant for corpus linguistics, romance linguistics, syntactic theory, speech and prosody research, and second language acquisition.

Download or read book Multilingual Corpora and Multilingual Corpus Analysis written by Thomas Schmidt and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with different aspects of the creation and use of multilingual corpora. The term 'multilingual corpus' is understood in a comprehensive sense, meaning any systematic collection of empirical language data enabling linguists to carry out analyses of multilingual individuals, multilingual societies or multilingual communication. The individual contributions are thus concerned with a variety of spoken and written corpora ranging from learner and attrition corpora, language contact corpora and interpreting corpora to comparable and parallel corpora. The overarching aim of the volume is first to take stock of the variety of existing multilingual corpora, documenting possible corpus designs and uses, second to discuss methodological and technological challenges in the creation and analysis of multilingual corpora, and third to provide examples of linguistic analyses that were carried out on the basis of multilingual corpora.

Download or read book Th orie et pratique de l assurance vie 5e d written by Michel Fromenteau and published by Dunod. This book was released on 2017-08-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’environnement de l’assurance vie a connu de profondes modifications. Notamment, la directive européenne Solvabilité II a été promulguée en 2009 – elle est actuellement en voie d’intégration dans la réglementation française – et l’Autorité de contrôle prudentiel (ACP) a été créée en 2010. Le nouveau contexte de l’assurance vie est pris en compte dans cette quatrième édition, qui conserve la démarche d’une analyse des risques d’assurance sur la base des garanties contractuelles proposées par les assureurs. Comme dans les éditions précédentes, les développements théoriques sont illustrés par des exercices corrigés. L’ouvrage traite : • des connaissances de base sur le contrat d’assurance, du fonctionnement des entreprises, ainsi que des tables de mortalité ; • de la formulation des résultats et de l’établissement du bilan, avec notamment l’évaluation des provisions mathématiques ; • des principes de l’évaluation actuarielle et de la gestion actif-passif ; • des bases de fonctionnement des systèmes de retraite en répartition ou par capitalisation.

Download or read book Droit des assurances written by Vincent Callewaert and published by Emile Bruylant. This book was released on 2013 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Cet ouvrage aborde quatre thèmes centrés autour des développements récents et actualités jurisprudentielles en droit des assurances et en droit de l’indemnisation. - La contribution de Jean Rogge est consacrée aux derniers développements en assurances en général. La loi du 25 juin 1992 sur le contrat d’assurance terrestre fait l’objet d’une application jurisprudentielle abondante, notamment quant à son champ d’application, à la déclaration, aux exclusions, à la prescription, etc. Les dispositions communes à tous les contrats, ainsi que celles propres aux assurances à caractère indemnitaire et celles propres aux assurances à caractère forfaitaire font l’objet d’un examen de jurisprudence. - Vincent Callewaert traite d’actualités jurisprudentielles en assurances de la responsabilité civile. Depuis l’entrée en vigueur de la loi du 25 juin 1992, la Cour de cassation s’est vu offrir bon nombre d’occasions de préciser la portée et le contenu des treize dispositions que cette loi consacre spécifiquement aux assurances de la responsabilité. L’auteur dresse l’inventaire de ces arrêts et identifie les questions qui continuent à poser problème dans la pratique.- La contribution de Claude Devoet porte sur l’assurance vie et le droit patrimonial de la famille. Les relations difficiles entre le droit propre à l’assurance vie et le droit des régimes matrimoniaux, des libéralités et des successions ont été mises en lumière par quatre arrêts remarqués de la Cour constitutionnelle et une modification législative. Les conséquences pratiques de ces évolutions, y compris fiscales, devaient être soulignées et la pertinence des raisonnements qui les soutiennent gagnerait à être appréciée de façon méthodique.- La contribution de Jean-Luc Fagnart est dédiée au droit de l’indemnisation. La jurisprudence relative au droit de la réparation connaît des évolutions multiples. On songe à la compensation du dommage économique, à la capitalisation du dommage moral, au régime des intérêts compensatoires, aux effets de l’état antérieur de la victime, etc. Les diverses questions sont examinées, de même que le nouveau tableau indicatif 2012."

Download or read book L assurance du particulier written by Roland Bisenius and published by Éditions Larcier. This book was released on 2010-11-20 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nouvelle édition du livre « Comprendre l’Assurance du Particulier ». Pour permettre au lecteur de bénéficier des dernières évolutions législatives, les éditions Promoculture ont réédité dans leur série « guide pratique » l’ouvrage de Roland Bisenius : « L’Assurance du Particulier ». En 1994 cet ouvrage parut pour la première fois et s’est révélé vite être un instrument de travail pour les professionnels et les agents. Le Commissaire aux Assurances l’a promu comme manuel de référence pour l’examen relatif aux vérifications des connaissances des candidats-agents. D’autre part, l’ACA et l’IFBL recommandent conjointement la lecture du livre aux participants à la formation d’insertion pour le secteur des assurances. Si la première édition portait sur quelques 200 pages, la nouvelle édition tourne autour de 900 pages, ce que reflète par ailleurs la vitesse avec laquelle ce secteur évolue ces dernières années. Roland Bisenius nous fait découvrir ce monde des assurances à travers une approche pratique avec pleins d’exemples et d’illustrations sans dévier pour autant du contexte technico-juridique. Il explique les bases propres de produits d’assurances offerts aux particuliers. En partant des assurances de responsabilités, en passant par les assurances automobile et les multirisques habitation (incendie, tempête, dégâts des eaux, vol, etc..), le lecteur apprendra les mécanismes de fonctionnement des assurances de personnes telles qu’assurances maladies, accidents ou vie. Pour mieux servir ceux que ne servent que le marché des assurances de personnes, l’auteur et les éditions Promoculture ont convenu de faire de cette nouvelle publication deux ouvrages séparés dont l’un est spécifique aux assurances de dommages et l’autre aux assurances de personnes. Outre une mise à jour de l’ensemble de l’environnement législatif, Roland Bisenius a ajouté un petit dictionnaire trilingue des termes les plus usuels et augmenté le nombre de tableau récapitulatif pour permettre au lecteur d’avoir une vue d’ensemble plus synthétisée.
