Download or read book S mantique formelle written by Laurent Roussarie and published by Language Science Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis près d'un demi-siècle, la sémantique formelle, à l'intersection féconde de la linguistique, la logique et la philosophie, occupe une place de premier plan dans le domaine de la linguistique théorique. Ce manuel, le premier en français de cette ampleur, en propose une présentation à la fois introductive et approfondie. La sémantique formelle est parfois appréhendée avec hésitation (voire redoutée) du fait de sa rigueur mathématique et de l'apparente complexité de son symbolisme ; le présent ouvrage vise à en donner une approche pédagogique, stimulante et dédramatisée. Il est conçu pour offrir un apprentissage et une maîtrise autonomes et progressifs des principaux aspects conceptuels et formels de la théorie, en accordant une attention particulière aux innovations marquantes qui ont structuré le domaine depuis les travaux fondateurs de R. Montague. Il a également pour objectif de proposer, au fil des pages, une introduction à des éléments de méthodologie scientifique afin de donner un aperçu des pratiques d'analyse propres à la sémantique formelle. Les six chapitres, accompagnés de nombreux exercices corrigés, y abordent les notions de base de logique et de sémantique vériconditionnelle, les phénomènes de quantification, la logique intensionnelle appliquée à la temporalité et les modalités, le λ-calcul typé et l'analyse sémantique compositionnelle à l'interface syntaxe-sémantique. Le volume sera complété d'un second qui présentera plusieurs applications et développements qui étendent la portée du formalisme. L'ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants de licence et master de sciences de langage, mais aussi d'autres disciplines comme, par exemple, la philosophie, la logique, l'informatique, ainsi qu'aux chercheurs désireux de s'initier, se mettre à jour ou se perfectionner dans la discipline.
Download or read book Repr sentation du discours et s mantique formelle written by Francis Corblin and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 2002 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre est consacré à deux théories majeures pour les études sémantiques contemporaines : la Théorie des représentations du discours, et la Théorie des quantificateurs généralisés. La Théorie des représentations du discours introduit en sémantique une perspective dynamique sur l'interprétation, et étend le domaine de la sémantique formelle au discours. Depuis le travail fondateur de Hans Kamp en 1981, le point de vue et le langage de représentation de cette théorie sont largement utilisés en linguistique. La Théorie des quantificateurs généralisés (Barwise et Cooper, 1981 ; Keenan et Stavi, 1986) offre à l'analyse linguistique un concept de quantification beaucoup plus puissant et flexible que celui de la logique du premier ordre. Le premier objectif de cet ouvrage est de donner une introduction à ces deux théories. On a cherché à rendre cette introduction accessible aux non spécialistes, et à l'illustrer au moyen d'exemples empruntés au français. La seconde partie du livre traite de la contribution de ces travaux à l'analyse de données complexes du français dans le domaine de la détermination nominale et de l'anaphore. On reprend sur ces bases nouvelles la typologie des groupes nominaux, et particulièrement la nature des catégories linguistiques de l'indéfini et du défini, en précisant ce qui les distingue de la quantification proprement dite.

Download or read book Implicitness written by Piotr Cap and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the term implicitness is ubiquitous in the pragmatic scholarship, it has rarely constituted the focus of attention per se. This book aims to help crystallize the concept of implicitness by defining its linguistic boundaries, as well as specifying and exploring its different communicative manifestations. The contributions by leading specialists scrutinize the main conceptualizations, forms and occurrences of implicitness (such as implicature, impliciture, explicature, entailment, presupposition, etc.) at different levels of linguistic organization. The volume focuses on phrasal, sentential, and discursive phenomena, showcasing the richness and variety of implicit forms of communication, systematizing (where possible) the existing analytic perspectives, and identifying the most productive procedures for further exploration. Taken together, the chapters exhibit theoretical differences that hinder a consensus on the nature of implicitness, but they simultaneously reveal methodological points of contact and raise common questions, thereby signposting a future analytic agenda. The book will appeal to both theoretically and empirically minded scholars working within and across the disciplines of Pragmatics, Semantics, Language Philosophy, Discourse Analysis, and Communication Studies.

Download or read book Le contexte en s mantique written by Mortéza Mahmoudian and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 1997 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: le present ouvrage examine le role que joue - dans la production et la perception de la signification linguistique - le contexte, concu comme l'entourage semantique du mot dans l'enonce. On impute communement au contexte le sens particulier du mot (marcher, p.ex.) dans l'enonce (le commerce marche). Or, il n'est pas difficile de trouver des enonces - comme en tete du cortege marche le commerce - dans lesquels l'influence s'exerce dans le sens oppose. Cela revient au constat que le contexte est autant source que cible des influences semantiques. Ne s'ensuit-il pas que la recherche semantique est condamnee a la circularite: decrire l'unite par recours aux criteres contextuels et en meme temps decrire le contexte en s'appuyant sur l'unite ? Le cercle est bien reel dans le cadre des theories formellees ou l'on considere la structure semantique comme simple et homogene et ou la signification de la phrase est concue comme la somme des significations de ses constituants. Il en va autrement des cadres theoriques ou la structure concue comme complexe, comportant en son sein variation et hierarchie. Chaque constituant peut alors contribuer a la signification de la phrase par toute une gamme de sens potentiels dont l'un ou l'autre se realise suivant le jeu varie de facteurs multiples tels que le sens des unites avoisinantes, la situation de l'echange linguistique, les savoirs culturels, l'experience du monde. L'etude du contexte nous conduit a deux demarches: d'une part, un reexamen des modeles semantiques mais aussi des principes theoriques et des fondements epistemologiques qui les sous-tendent; d'autre part des enquetes pour confronter les theses avancees aux donnees recoltees dans le comportement et l'intuition du sujet parlant. Le rapport unite/contexte n'est pas le seul paradoxe; sont aussi paradoxales les relations sens/situation, sens/culture, semantique/pragmatique, langage/pensee, ... que l'ouvrage tente d'eclairer d'un jour nouveau dans la perspective d'une structure relative et ouverte
Download or read book Automatic Discourse Analysis written by Michel Pêcheux and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 1995 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers the long-awaited overview of the work of the French philosopher and discourse analyst Michel Pecheux, who was the leading figure in French discourse analysis until his death in 1983. The volume presents the first English publication of the work of Pecheux and his coworkers on automatic discourse analysis. Outside France, French discourse analysis is almost exclusively known as the form of philosophical discourse presented by such authors as Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida. The contemporary empirical forms of French discourse analysis have not reached a wider public to the degree they deserve. Through its combination of original texts, annotations, and several introductory texts, this volume facilitates an evaluation of both results and weaknesses of French discourse analysis in general and of the work of Michel Pecheux and his coworkers in particular.

Download or read book The Representation of in definiteness written by Eric J. Reuland and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Representation of(In)definiteness collects the most important current research, reflecting a wide range of approaches, on a central theoretical issue in linguistics: characterizing the distinction between definite and indefinite expressions. The authors of these 11 original essays, which draw on current work in theoretical syntax and semantics, were charged by the editors to take more than usual heed of alternative analyses offered by other theories, thereby promoting cross fertilization of syntactic and semantic ideas, concepts, and argumentation. The project as a whole is grounded in the belief that explicit comparison of seemingly incompatible approaches is essential to improve our understanding of the nature and structure of natural language. Eric J. Reuland and Alice ter Meulen are Professors of Linguistics at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen and the University of Washington respectively. The Representation of (In)definiteness is fourteenth in the series Current Studies in Linguistics, edited by Samuel Jay Keyser.
