Book excerpt: "Multilinguiste de terrain, enseignante passionnée, femme militante, traductrice primée, M.M. Jocelyne Fernandez-Vest ne pouvait que recevoir l'hommage du présent volume à son travail de haut niveau. Les nombreux domaines auxquels elle continue de consacrer ses recherches (plus de deux cents publications) concernent essentiellement la typologie cognitive et informationnelle, la littérature orale, les langues ouraliennes, en particulier celles de l'ensemble fennique et du groupe same. Initialement intéressée par les cultures de la Fennoscandie, Jocelyne Fernandez-Vest est devenue la principale spécialiste française et une des principales spécialistes mondiales (outre les chercheurs finnois) de cette région du nord de l'Europe. Précurseuse en de nombreux domaines ou concepts phares de la linguistique générale, tels la Structuration Informationnelle, les Détachements, les Particules Énonciatives, elle a appliqué son esprit au service du développement des études dans les domaines linguistique et cognitif, mais encore des recherches théoriques sur l'organisation du discours, la grammaire de l'information et les caractéristiques particulières du dialogue d'oralité. Cet hommage contient un avant-propos rédigé par Claude Hagège, avec qui Jocelyne Fernandez-Vest entretient une longue et sincère amitié, et rassemble dix-neuf contributions de collègues, disciples et amis du maître, qui expertisent les langues les plus diverses : allemand, anglais, coréen, espagnol, estonien, finnois, français, gotique, grec homérique, haruai, hébreu, hindi, hongrois, japonais, komi, latin, mari, oudmourte, russe, same, sanskrit, thaï, vietnamien, yiddish, youkaguir, jusqu'au langage mathématique et le langage lui-même."--Page 4 de la couverture.

This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information structure and the organization of oral texts have been rarely studied crosslinguistically. This book contains studies of the grammatical organization of information in languages from different areas (e.g. Amazonian, Finno-Ugric, South-Asian) from a variety of theoretical angles. It will be a valuable resource for researchers investigating the interaction of morphosyntax and discourse in familiar and less familiar languages.

Download or read book Dialectology meets Typology written by Bernd Kortmann and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-08-22 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In what ways can dialectologists and language typologists profit from each others' work when looking across the fence? This is the guiding question of this volume, which involves follow-up questions such as: How can dialectologists profit from adopting the large body of insights in and hypotheses on language variation and language universals familiar from work in language typology, notably functional typology? Vice versa, what can typologists learn from the study of non-standard varieties? What are possible contributions of dialectology to areal typologies and the study of grammaticalization? What are important theoretical and methodological implications of this new type of collaboration in the study of language variation? The 18 contributors, among them many distinguished dialectologists, sociolinguists and typologists, address these and other novel questions on the basis of analyses of the morphology and syntax of a broad range of dialects (Germanic, Romance, Balto-Slavic, Indo-Aryan).

Book excerpt: This classic work explores the vast differences between oral and literate cultures offering a very clear account of the intellectual, literary and social effects of writing, print and electronic technology. In the course of his study, Walter J. Ong offers fascinating insights into oral genres across the globe and through time, and examines the rise of abstract philosophical and scientific thinking. He considers the impact of orality-literacy studies not only on literary criticism and theory but on our very understanding of what it is to be a human being, conscious of self and other. This is a book no reader, writer or speaker should be without.

Book excerpt: This volume represents the sixth in the series on Orality and Literacy in the Ancient Greek and Roman Worlds. The present work comprises a collection of essays that explore the tensions and controversies that arise as a society moves from an oral to literate culture. Part 1 deals with both Homeric and other forms of epic; part 2 explores different ways in which texts and writing were manipulated for political ends. Part 3 and 4 deals with the controversies surrounding the adoption of writing as the accepted mode of communication; whereas some segments of society began to privilege writing over oral communication, others continued to maintain that the latter was superior. Part 4 looks at the oral elements of Athenian Law.

Download or read book Expressive Meaning Across Linguistic Levels and Frameworks written by Andreas Trotzke and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first to explore the formal linguistic expressions of emotions at different levels of linguistic complexity. Research on the language-emotion interface has to date concentrated primarily on the conceptual dimension of emotions as expressed via language, with semantic and pragmatic studies dominating the field. The chapters in this book, in contrast, bring together work from different linguistic frameworks: generative syntax, functional and usage-based linguistics, formal semantics and pragmatics, and experimental phonology. The volume contributes to the growing field of research that explores the interaction between linguistic expressions and the 'expressive dimension' of language, and will be of interest to linguists from a range of theoretical backgrounds who are interested in the language-emotion interface.

Download or read book Oral Tradition written by Robert Loring Allen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oral traditions are historical sources of a special nature. Their special nature derives from the fact that they are ""unwritten"" sources couched in a form suitable for oral transmission, and that their preservation depends on the powers of memory of successive generations of human beings. In many parts of the world inhabited by peoples without writing, oral tradition forms the main available source for a reconstruction of the past. Do the special characteristics of oral traditions u ""unwritten"" information dependent on the memory of successive generations u invalidate them as sources of historical data? If not, are there means for testing their reliability? Professor Vansina shows in Oral Tradition that with knowledge of the language and of the society, the anthropologist and historian can extract or deduce the historical content of oral testimonies. Based on the author's many years of fieldwork in Africa, this definitive work explores the possibility of reconstructing the history of non-literate peoples from their oral traditions, surveys existing literature, offers a typology of oral traditions, and evaluates methods of collection and interpretation. On first publication, Daniel McCall in the American Anthropologist called Oral Tradition "" a tour de force. Indeed this may well be the most significant work written on the relation of oral tradition to history in thirty yearsafor any field worker who intends to collect oral traditions, this work is indispensable.
Download or read book Jesus and the Oral Gospel Tradition written by Henry Wansborough and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-12-30 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of papers from two international symposia by such important scholars as Aune, Dunn, Gerhardsson, Meyer, Rordorf and Talmon. The articles share the conviction that the only way to break the deadlock in the Synoptic problem is to examine the oral tradition about Jesus which lay behind the Gospels, and to continue even beyond them. The book addresses such central issues as the characteristics of oral tradition: oral tradition in Judaism, in the teaching of Jesus (his aphorisms and the narrative meshalim) and in the Gospel narratives; and the relationships of John, Paul and the Didache to oral tradition. This volume should bring onto a new plane the discussion of the all-important oral stage of Gospel tradition.
