This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Que la promotion du citoyen dans l'espace public passe par la maitrise des outils symboliques, et particulièrement du langage, est chose bien connue. Ce que l'on croit aussi savoir, c'est que les usagers éprouveraient de plus en plus de mal à maitriser ces outils. Et ce déficit serait surtout criant chez les francophones. La langue française n'est-elle pas perçue, à tort ou à raison, comme difficile, exigeante et trop dépendante d'une tradition élitiste ? S'il s'avérait que cette crise a bien lieu, il y aurait là un grave problème social : comment accepter que des usagers se sentent exclus de leur propre langue et de celle de la Cité ? Les organismes chargés de la politique des langues dans la francophonie septentrionale (France, Québec, Belgique, Suisse) ont voulu s'emparer de ce problème dans un colloque dont on trouvera les traces dans le présent volume. Les textes ici réunis à leur initiative étudient les représentations qui bloquent l'appropriation de la langue et envisagent les moyens d'agir sur elles ; ils proposent des pratiques didactiques propres à favoriser l'appropriation de la langue ; ils donnent à réfléchir sur les réformes de la langue susceptibles de renforcer son appropriabilité. En balisant les pistes menant à une meilleure appropriation du français par les francophones et les non francophones, ces travaux visent une réduction du cout social de la non-maitrise de la langue et, en dernière instance, une meilleure intégration de tous à la vie de la Cité.

Download or read book Subjectivity in a Second Language written by Alan J. E. Wolf and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subjectivity, the speaker's expression of self in discourse, is a relatively under-researched area in the field of applied linguistics: this book examines the role of subjectivity in the context of second language use. Drawing on insights from discourse analysis and pragmatics, it describes how a group of students studying French at degree level at the University of Cambridge, England, convey expressions of subjectivity in personal narratives and argumentative language. In this book, the author begins by introducing the reader to key areas in the study of discourse. Using a methodology that has much in common with descriptive linguistics, he provides a wide-ranging account of how forms in language are used to convey the expression of subjectivity. His particular concern is to examine how these markers of subjectivity are used differently by native and non-native speakers of French. The discussion is carefully supplemented throughout with a variety of exemplification and discourse types, including personal narratives in French and English and transcripts of video-taped interactions in role-plays. In the course of his analysis, the author questions long-held assumptions about the way French is taught in secondary schools and in higher education institutions. The range of issues discussed, as well as the variety of examples used, will make this a valuable book not only for students of applied linguistics but also for any reader wishing to gain a deeper understanding of how the expression of subjectivity can contribute to the learning of a second language.

Download or read book Adult Language Acquisition Volume 1 Field Methods written by Clive Perdue and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-07-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These two volumes present the methodology and results of an international research project on second language acquisition by adult immigrants. This project went beyond other studies in at least three respects: in the number of languages studied simultaneously; in the organisation of co-ordinated longitudinal studies in different linguistic environments; and in the type and range of linguistic phenomena investigated. It placed the study of second languages and inter-ethnic discourse on a firm empirical footing. Volume 1 explains and evaluates the research design adopted for the project. Volume 2 summarises the cross-linguistic results, under two main headings: native/non-native speaker interaction, and language production. Together they present the reader with a complete research procedure, and in doing so, make explicit the links between research questions, methodology, and results.

Download or read book Utterance Structure written by Wolfgang Klein and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the results of part of the ESF project 'Second language acquisition by adult immigrants'. The present study deals specifically with structure of utterances in learner varieties. The authors have attempted to find general principles which determine the form of utterances from the very beginning to relatively advanced stages. Chapter 1 and 2 provide the framework for the study and here the guiding hypotheses are sketched on the basis of a pilot analysis. The empirical part of the study is contained in Chapters 3-6, in which data are given for the acquisition of, respectively, English (by Punjabi and Italian learners), German (Italian and Turkish learners), Dutch (Turkish and Moroccon learners) and French (Moroccon and Spanish learners), thus allowing for crosslinguistic comparisons in various ways. For each data-set the learner's linguistic repertoire is established, and then the utterance patterns recurrent in his/her production and the constraints these patterns are subject to. In Chapter 7 the general and theoretical implications are discussed.

Download or read book Social interaction Social Context and Language written by Dan Isaac Slobin and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 773 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays is a representative sample of the current research and researchers in the fields of language and social interactions and social context. The opening chapter, entitled "Context in Language," is written by Susan Ervin-Tripp, whose diverse and innovative research inspired the editors to dedicate this book to her honor. Ervin-Tripp is known for her work in the fields of linguistics, psychology, child development, sociology, anthropology, rhetoric, and women's studies. She has played a central role in the definition and establishment of psycholinguistics, child language development, and sociolinguistics, and has been an innovator in terms of approaches and methods of study. This book covers a wide range of research interests in the field, from linguistically oriented approaches to social and ethnography oriented approaches. The issue of the relationships between forms and structures of language and social interactions is examined in studies of both adult and child speech. It is a useful anthology for graduate students studying language and social interaction, as well as for researchers in this field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les travaux en didactique des langues réunis ici portent sur les relations entre les différentes langues, approchées (éveil à plusieurs langues-cultures), acquises ou apprises, en vue de dégager le rôle spécifique, sinon primordial, de la langue première dans la construction d’un répertoire plurilingue et pluriculturel. L’analyse des représentations de l’apprentissage d’une langue montre par ailleurs la forte corrélation entre l’image qu’un apprenant s’est forgé d’un pays, et les représentations qu’il construit à propos de son propre apprentissage de la langue de ce pays.

Download or read book Crosscurrents in Second Language Acquisition and Linguistic Theories written by Thom Huebner and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term “crosscurrent” is defined as “a current flowing counter to another.” This volume represents crosscurrents in second language acquisition and linguistic theory in several respects. First, although the main currents running between linguistics and second language acquisition have traditionally flowed from theory to application, equally important contributions can be made in the other direction as well. Second, although there is a strong tendency in the field of linguistics to see “theorists” working within formal models of syntax, SLA research can contribute to linguistic theory more broadly defined to include various functional as well as formal models of syntax, theories of phonology, variationist theories of sociolinguists, etc. These assumptions formed the basis for a conference held at Stanford University during the Linguistic Institute there in the summer of 1987. The conference was organized to update the relation between second language acquisition and linguistic theory. This book contains a selection of (mostly revised and updated) papers of this conference and two newly written papers.

This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage aborde la question de l'apprentissage des langues à l'école par la biographie langagière de l'enfant. Il prend appui sur l'expérience de l'île de La Réunion où les enfants qui entrent à l'école maternelle sont en majorité non francophones, alors que la langue de l'école est le français. Pour eux, la scolarisation implique donc une rupture de langue et de langage, et la nécessité de s'approprier une nouvelle langue, celle de l'école, par laquelle ils découvriront leur autonomie de sujet et la loi sociale, dans la classe, et qu'ils utiliseront pour construire les savoirs scolaires. Ces enfants, pratiquant toujours chez eux et entre pairs la langue de la maison, ont à devenir, de fait, bi- ou plurilingues très jeunes. L'ouvrage a donc pour thématique générale la construction de cette compétence plurilingue précoce, dont les enjeux et les difficultés sont d'un autre type que ceux de l'apprentissage plus tardif de nouvelles langues à l'école, qui, elles, ne sont plus ni vecteurs de socialisation et d'autonomie du sujet, ni supports des savoirs scolaires fondamentaux.

Download or read book A Case for Psycholinguistic Cases written by Gabriela Appel and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprises ten papers presented as plenary lectures on the occasion of the Second World Congress of the International Society of Applied Psycholinguistics (ISAPL) at the University of Kassel, Germany, from July 27 — 31, 1987. The articles collected in this volume focus on the production, comprehension, and acquisition of languages from various empirical and theoretical points of view. This volume is case-based in that it does not claim to cover the full range of present-day psycholinguistic enquiry. It attempts, though, to make a case out of a representational variety of psycholinguistic phenomena, which might provide a window on a unified theory of language production, comprehension, and acquisition. From this perspective this volume aims at the presentation and discussion of various cases which, through analogical reasoning, may serve to shed light on and to solve new cases.
