Post-processing of Differentially Private Data: A Fairness Perspective
Authors: Zhu Keyu , Fioretto Ferdinando , Van Hentenryck Pascal
Published: July 2022

Post-processing immunity is a fundamental property of differential privacy: it enables arbitrary data-independent transformations to differentially private outputs without affecting their privacy guarantees. Post-processing is routinely applied in data-release applications, including census data, which are then used to make allocations with substantial societal impacts. This paper shows that post-processing causes disparate impacts on individuals or groups and analyzes two critical settings: the release of differentially private datasets and the use of such private datasets for downstream decisions, such as the allocation of funds informed by US Census data. In the first setting, the paper proposes tight bounds on the unfairness for traditional post-processing mechanisms, giving a unique tool to decision makers to quantify the disparate impacts introduced by their release. In the second setting, this paper proposes a novel post-processing mechanism that is (approximately) optimal under different fairness metrics, either reducing fairness issues substantially or reducing the cost of privacy. The theoretical analysis is complemented with numerical simulations on Census data.
Interactive Information Extraction by Semantic Information Graph

Published: July 2022

Information extraction (IE) mainly focuses on three highly correlated subtasks, i.e., entity extraction, relation extraction and event extraction. Recently, there are studies using Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) to utilize the intrinsic correlations among these three subtasks. AMR based models are capable of building the relationship of arguments. However, they are hard to deal with relations. In addition, the noises of AMR (i.e., tags unrelated to IE tasks, nodes with unconcerned conception, and edge types with complicated hierarchical structures) disturb the decoding processing of IE. As a result, the decoding processing limited by the AMR cannot be worked effectively. To overcome the shortages, we propose an Interactive Information Extraction (InterIE) model based on a novel Semantic Information Graph (SIG). SIG can guide our InterIE model to tackle the three subtasks jointly. Furthermore, the well-designed SIG without noise is capable of enriching entity and event trigger representation, and capturing the edge connection between the information types. Experimental results show that our InterIE achieves state-of-the-art performance on all IE subtasks on the benchmark dataset (i.e., ACE05-E+ and ACE05-E). More importantly, the proposed model is not sensitive to the decoding order, which goes beyond the limitations of AMR based methods.

Published: July 2022

Allocating resources to individuals in a fair manner has been a topic of interest since the ancient times, with most of the early rigorous mathematical work on the problem focusing on infinitely divisible resources. Recently, there has been a surge of papers studying computational questions regarding various different notions of fairness for the indivisible case, like maximin share fairness (MMS) and envy-freeness up to any good (EFX). We survey the most important results in the discrete fair division literature, focusing on the case of additive valuation functions and paying particular attention to the progress made in the last 10 years.
Modelling the Dynamics of Regret Minimization in Large Agent Populations: a Master Equation Approach
Authors: Wang Zhen , Mu Chunjiang , Hu Shuyue , Chu Chen , Li Xuelong
Published: July 2022

Understanding the learning dynamics in multiagent systems is an important and challenging task. Past research on multi-agent learning mostly focuses on two-agent settings. In this paper, we consider the scenario in which a population of infinitely many agents apply regret minimization in repeated symmetric games. We propose a new formal model based on the master equation approach in statistical physics to describe the evolutionary dynamics in the agent population. Our model takes the form of a partial differential equation, which describes how the probability distribution of regret evolves over time. Through experiments, we show that our theoretical results are consistent with the agent-based simulation results.
A Survey on Machine Learning Approaches for Modelling Intuitive Physics
Authors: Duan Jiafei , Dasgupta Arijit , Fischer Jason , Tan Cheston
Published: July 2022

Research in cognitive science has provided extensive evidence of human cognitive ability in performing physical reasoning of objects from noisy perceptual inputs. Such a cognitive ability is commonly known as intuitive physics. With advancements in deep learning, there is an increasing interest in building intelligent systems that are capable of performing physical reasoning from a given scene for the purpose of building better AI systems. As a result, many contemporary approaches in modelling intuitive physics for machine cognition have been inspired by literature from cognitive science. Despite the wide range of work in physical reasoning for machine cognition, there is a scarcity of reviews that organize and group these deep learning approaches. Especially at the intersection of intuitive physics and artificial intelligence, there is a need to make sense of the diverse range of ideas and approaches. Therefore, this paper presents a comprehensive survey of recent advances and techniques in intuitive physics-inspired deep learning approaches for physical reasoning. The survey will first categorize existing deep learning approaches into three facets of physical reasoning before organizing them into three general technical approaches and propose six categorical tasks of the field. Finally, we highlight the challenges of the current field and present some future research directions.

Abstract— Rhizome is part of the plant that has many benefits. Some types of rhizomes that are often found are ginger, turmeric and galangal. But in reality, for the three types of rhizomes, there are still many that cannot be recognized. This is because some types of rhizomes do have properties and textures. This research proposes a rhizome recognition system with the classification of SVM (Support Vector Machine) and KNN (K-Neirest Neighbor). SVM searches for the best hyperplane by maximizing the distance between classes. KNN classifies objects based on the learning data that is the most distant from the object. The types of rhizomes used in this research data collection are the three types of rhizomes mentioned above. Meanwhile, the number of images in this study consisted of 150 training images and 30 testing images. The test is carried out by calculating the accuracy value of the classification of testing data in 3 classes, namely Ginger, Kuyit, and Galangal classes using both methods. The rhizome recognition system using the second method of classification is expected to help get good accuracy and can be more easily recognized by the name of the rhizome.

Organs in the human body provide a lot of knowledge about human body health. One of them is the organ in the human eye, more specifically the retina.Furthermoreeven some accute diseases can be detected through the retina image. One of the diseases that can be detected through retinal images is diabetic retinopathy. This disease can be identified through segmentation to find abnormalities in the retinal blood vessels. These abnormalities include enlarged blood vessels, abnormal branching, and so on. Manual detection of blood vessels on the retina is less accurate, so a comperhensive program is required in order to segment the blood vessels in eye fundus images, more accurately. In this research, some method and algorithms are approached by combining the segmentation process for wide vessels and the segmentation process for thin vessels. There are three stages in this research. First, the Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) algorithm and 2D Gabor Wavelet are applied as the preprocessing stage. Then, active contour and region growing methods are required as the processing to segment the thin and wide vessels in fundus retina image. And the last stage is postprocessing using the logical operator method or. The trial in this research uses color eye fundus images on the DRIVE dataset consisting of 20 retinal photos. By using this dataset, the average accuracy is 94.32%, sensitivity is 77.09% and specificity is 96.04% in 20 trials.

The subject of the study of this article are the factors affecting marital satisfaction of married couples. In particular, the relationship between satisfaction with marriage and personal attitudes and the level of self-actualization of spouses was investigated. The following methods were used in the study: "marriage satisfaction test questionnaire" (OUB). Authors: V.V. Stolina, T.L. Romanova, G.P. Butenko; test "Measuring attitudes in a married couple". Authors: Alyoshina Yu.E., Gozman L.Ya., Dubovskaya E.M.; self-actualization test (SAT), measuring self-actualization on two basic and a number of additional scales (author: Alyoshina Yu.E, etc.). The study involved 20 married couples with a marriage experience of 7-10 years. The conducted research has shown that the degree of satisfaction with marriage depends on personal attitudes and the level of self-actualization of the individual. Men are more satisfied with marriage than women, they make fewer claims to their spouse, they are more satisfied with family life. There is also a relationship between husband and wife satisfaction with marriage: the more satisfied one is, the more satisfied the other is with marriage. The diagnostic data of the subjects' self-actualization showed that there is a relationship between the degree of satisfaction with marriage and the scales: competence in time, self-reliance, value orientations, flexibility of behavior, self-esteem, self-acceptance. Statistical analysis has shown that there is a relationship between satisfaction with marriage and the desire to divorce, the attitude to romantic love and the significance in sexual relations.

Authors: Bakhtiar Yuriz , Khairunnisa Novita Ikbar , Prihastomo Krisna Tsaniadi , Brotoarianto Happy Kurnia , Arifin Muhamad Thohar , Muttaqin Zainal
Published: July 2022

Background:

Posttraumatic epilepsy (PTE) is a debilitating sequelae following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Risk of developing PTE is higher in the first 6 months following head trauma and remains increased for 10 years. Many cases of PTE developed into drug-resistant epilepsy in which need surgical treatment.

Case Description:

Fourteen patients were identified from 1998 until 2021. Mean age at onset was 21.00 ± 6.13 years, mean age of surgery was 29.50 ± 6.83 years. All patients had partial complex seizure with more than half of cases (n = 10, 71.4%) reported with focal impaired awareness seizure and focal to bilateral tonic–clonic type of seizure which were observed in the remained cases (n = 4, 28.6%). Abnormal magnetic resonance imaging findings were observed in 12 patients: mesial temporal sclerosis (n = 7), encephalomalacia (n = 4), brain atrophy (n = 4), and focal cortical dysplasia (n = 2). More than half of cases presented with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy despite site and type of brain injury. Most patients who undergone epileptogenic focus resection were free of seizure, but two patients remained to have seizure with worthwhile improvement.

Conclusion:

This study emphasizes the clinical characteristic of PTE cases in our center in Indonesia. While encephalomalacia is a typical finding following TBI and often responsible for epilepsy, electroencephalogram recording remains critical in determining epileptic focus. Most of PTE patients presented with temporal lobe epilepsy had excellent outcomes after surgical resection of epileptogenic focus.

Authors: Takeda Junichi , Nonaka Masahiro , Li Yi , Isozaki Haruna , Kamei Takamasa , Hashiba Tetsuo , Asai Akio
Published: July 2022

Background:

In recent years, the efficacy of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic diagnosis (5-ALA PDD) has been reported for various types of brain tumors, including malignant glioma. In addition, many reports have been published on the usefulness of neuroendoscopic surgery for intraventricular lesions. However, no systematic report is available on the combined use of 5-ALA PDD and neuroendoscopy for various intraventricular tumors.

Methods:

We report 17 consecutive patients with intraventricular tumors. All patients received oral 5-ALA preoperatively and underwent endoscopic surgical treatment (resection or biopsy). We use a rigid endoscope with a built-in PDD system for intraoperative observation.

Results:

Seven resections and 10 biopsies were performed. Histopathological diagnosis was confirmed in all 17 cases. Gross total resection was achieved in six of seven cases. The fluorescence positivity rates for each tumor were glioblastoma 100% (2/2), low-grade glioma 67% (2/3), subependymoma 0% (0/1), medulloblastoma 100% (1/1), pineoblastoma 0% (0/1), germ cell tumor 75% (3/4), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma 33% (1/3), and metastatic tumor 100% (2/2).

Conclusion:

Our method has the potential to improve detection of residual tumors in blind spots and deep areas, as well as the accuracy and safety of biopsy procedures for intraventricular lesions that are difficult to view and treat under a microscope.
Postoperative 18F-FDG-PET/CT documents efficacy of selective peripheral denervation for treating cervical dystonia
Authors: Miura Isamu , Horisawa Shiro , Kawamata Takakazu , Taira Takaomi
Published: July 2022

Background:

Cervical dystonia, characterized by involuntary contraction of the cervical muscles, is the most common form of adult dystonia. We compared the preoperative versus postoperative 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans to confirm the efficacy of selective peripheral denervation (SPD) for treating cervical dystonia.

Case Description:

A 38-year-old male with the right-sided cervical dystonia underwent a left pallidothalamic tractotomy. However, the involuntary neck movement persisted and correlated with the 18F-FDG-PET/CT imaging that showed persistent FDG uptake in the right obliquus capitis inferior muscle. A subsequent SPD resulted in resolution of the dystonia that correlated with lack of further 18F-FDG-PET/CT uptake in the right obliquus capitis inferior muscle.

Conclusion:

The postoperative 18F-FDG-PET/CT documented the efficacy of an SPD in resolving a patient’s cervical dystonia.

Authors: Hussain Touqeer , Khan Iqra , Ahmed Mehtab , Beg Mirza Shehab Afzal
Published: July 2022

Background:

Brachial plexus injuries are common after both blunt and penetrating traumas resulting in upper limb weakness. The nerve transfer to the affected nerve distal to the injury site is a good option where proximal stump of the nerve is unhealthy or absent which has shown early recovery and better results. Commonly used procedures to restore elbow flexion are ipsilateral phrenic or ipsilateral intercostal nerves (ICNs) in global plexus injuries. The use of both intercostal and phrenic nerves for elbow flexion is well described and there is no definite consensus on the superiority of one on another.

Methods:

All patients presented in the outpatient department of LNH and MC from January 2014 to December 2017 with pan plexus or upper plexus injury with no signs of improvement for at least 3 months were included in the study. After 3 months of conservative trial; surgery offered to patients.

Results:

A total of 25 patients (n = 25) were operated from January 2015 to December 2017. Patients were followed to record Medical Research Council (MRC) grades at 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18 months. The patients achieved at least MRC Grade 3; 70% at 12 months follow-up to 80% at 18 months in the phrenic nerve transfer group. While in the ICN transfer group, it is 86% and 100% at 12 and 18 months postoperative, respectively.

Conclusion:

Our study has shown better results with ICN transfers to musculocutaneous nerve, recorded on MRC grading system.

Published: July 2022

Objective:

The aim of this study was to determine the proportion of influenza-like illnesses (ILIs) caused by influenza A and influenza A H1N1 and to determine the proportion of influenza B in a smaller group of samples with ILIs and influenza A H1N1 negative by qualitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using TaqMan-based assay at a tertiary health-care center in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

Material and Methods:

Laboratory samples of participants from all age groups who had ILIs were included in this study. The study was conducted from January 2018 to January 2019 at a tertiary health-care center in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The sample size of the study was 1755. This is a cross-sectional study. RNA extraction was performed using QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit (Qiagen, U.S.A) as per the manufacturer instructions. The assay is a TaqMan®-based real-time detection of circulating novel influenza A H1N1 and H3N2. Real-time PCR for influenza B virus was performed in influenza A H1N1-negative patients using artus Infl/H1 LC/RG RT-PCR kit (Cat 4523003, Qiagen, Germany). Samples that had a crossing threshold value 15–35 cycles were considered positive.

Results:

The majority of the participants were in the pediatric and young adult age group (<30 years) (41%). The incidence of influenza was in the range of 32.34–41% up to 60 years. Beyond 60 years, the frequency of detection reduced to 25.9%, and in those above 71 years, it was 22.3%. About 45.4% (n = 798) were positive for influenza A, of which 32.7% (n = 575) were positive for influenza A H1N1. Both influenza A H1N1 and influenza A other than H1N1 incidence started to rise in September and spiked between October and December. Among patients with persistent ILI, screening for influenza B was done in 48 samples. Among 48 samples, 18% (n = 8) had influenza B.

Conclusion:

The need for increased vaccination is demonstrated through the high influenza A H1N1 positivity rate among pediatric patients with ILIs. Detection of influenza B among influenza A H1N1-negative individuals demonstrates the need for influenza B screening. Incidence of influenza is highest in cooler months. The implementation of vaccination against influenza before the beginning of the cooler seasons could possibly reduce the burden of influenza on the health-care system. The importance of surveillance for the continued screening of influenza could be expanded in the private sector as a majority of the disease burden is observed in that sector.

Published: July 2022

Cardiotoxicity is a serious side effect of chemotherapy in breast cancer survivors. Although the use of anthracyclines and trastuzumab improves the survival rate, it also produces cardiotoxicity over a period of time. Exercises can be a choice of non-pharmacologic interventions in preventing and reducing the cardiotoxicity effects of chemotherapy. Exercise has been recognized as an effective means of preventing cardiovascular disease and has been shown to lower the risk of cardiovascular mortality. Exercise may also protect the heart from the cardiotoxic effects of chemotherapy in breast cancer survivors. The goal of this scoping review is to summarize the evidence on exercise as a treatment to reduce the cardiotoxicity caused by chemotherapy in breast cancer survivors. This scoping review will identify the research gaps and the need for the future research. The frameworks proposed by Arksey and O’Malley, as well as the methodology for conducting scoping reviews published by the Joanna Briggs Institute, will be used. The standards for reporting will be the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews. A search strategy was established using keywords associated with the theme. A structured literature search will be conducted through databases such as PubMed, Ovid Emcare, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. The titles, abstracts, and full text will be screened by two independent reviewers using Covidence software. Data will be extracted from included records using a pre-determined data extraction form by two independent reviewers. Extracted data will be evaluated and summarized in tabular and diagrammatic format. A narrative summary will accompany the results in the form of charts or graphs, describing how the results relate to the purpose and questions of the review.
Scholarly literature on the lexico-grammatical features of medical case reports - A mini review
Authors: Milton Cynthia
Published: July 2022

Medical case report (MCR) is an important written clinical discourse. Many applied linguists using corpora linguistic approach have identified MCRs to possess lexical and grammatical features that are distinctive, rhetorical, and teachable. The present study reviews scholarly literature published in indexed journals to cull out the salient lexico-grammatical features of MCRs. The identified rhetoric grammatical features were dominant use of past tense, active voice, and the occurrence of semi-technical words such as unique adjectives to bring out the significance of the report, verbs of Latin origin. In countries where English poses challenges, familiarizing on the linguistic features of MCR will enable trainers of medical education programs to develop English language teaching modules to instruct novice medicos in MCR preparation. This initiative could convert English language classes into sessions with meaningful learning experience. Further, publishing MCR is considered to be an important professional research task of clinicians; therefore, this insight will help novice writers to make impressive and genuine case reports.

Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the relationship between institutional and economic development of post-socialist countries. The author substantiates the relevance of the chosen topic for post-socialist countries, describes the essence and features of the middle income trap and explains the economic and institutional basis for its formation. The dynamics of economic development of 24 post-socialist countries for the period 2007-2020 is analysed based on World Bank data. Clustering by the method of k-means is made based on this analysis also. The interdependence between the level of institutional development and the level of economic development of the analysed countries was revealed by analysing the institutional indicators (international property rights index and corruption perception index) of post-socialist countries in 2020, which confirmed the main hypothesis of the study. The author describes the essence of the dysfunctional phenomenon of the institutional development paradox and its role in the institutional development of post-socialist countries in the context of overcoming the middle-income trap. It is established that the institutional dysfunctions formed in the transformation period continue to hurt the development of economic systems, including the economy of Ukraine. Based on the results, the author proposes practical recommendations for further implementation of the necessary institutional reforms aimed at avoiding the middle income trap economy of Ukraine. They include measures to further liberalize the economy, improve mechanisms to protect property rights, combat corruption and more.

In the research, presented the aircraft trajectory modeling algorithm based on existing methods constructing airways.The polygonal mesh on the earth's surface was built by using computer graphics. The program module was developed is as an imitation complex for simulation the aircraft movement. The algorithm finding the intersection between plane's trajectory with the earth's surface was developed by creating dynamically linked library, that was designed in this way to provide the opportunity to be reused by various software applications.
Les sirènes de police dans la ville : un essai à la croisée des Sémiotiques du Droit, des Objets et de la Ville
Authors: Bittar Eduardo C. B.
Published: July 2022

Cet article examine le parcours thématique d’un convoi de véhicules policiers dans l’espace urbain. Moyennant une combinaison complémentaire entre les Sémiotiques du Droit, de la Ville, des Objets et aussi une Sémiotique des Couleurs, il étudie la présence tonique et évocatrice de l’État dans la ville, cette dernière étant analysée comme un territoire hypercodifié. Au cours de son développement, l’article cherche à mettre en évidence la relation de complémentarité entre les discours juridique et policier. Il mentionne également l’importance de l’appréhension de l’architecture de justice, par rapport à l’architecture pénitentiaire, et pointe le non-lieu, dans l’espace urbain, du corps-prison, qui est déplacé vers la zone paratopique du territoire. La présence de la police est également liée à la symbolique policière ainsi qu’aux formes avec lesquelles la police pathémise l’espace urbain.
Absence d’équivalent lexical d’une langue à l’autre: la traduction du nom français action en suédois
Authors: Tauveron Matthias
Published: July 2022

Despite its general sense, the translation of the French name action into Swedish, as it appears in a parallel corpus, is problematic. Indeed, the Europarl corpus show two main translations: åtgärd and handling. A qualitative examination of the occurrences enables to explain this semantic difference by the co-occurrence with terms which refer to a particular semantic relationship (engynomy) with it.
We show that some co-occurrent units to a given word are the trace of a semantic feature, highlighting the value of linguistic work on a corpus made of full texts. Moreover, the parallel corpus can highlight differences in meaning within a given language, which were not obvious a priori in a monolingual corpus. Finally, we emphasize the need for a semantic explanation of semantic differences that goes beyond the mere finding of co-occurrences.
Contexte et sens: utilisation d’un corpus écrit dans l’enseignement / apprentissage du FLE
Authors: Kamber Alain
Published: July 2022

The aim of the present paper is to show that the use of a very large electronic corpus is likely to simplify the foreign language teacher’s task as well as the learner’s. Using the 'Corpus français', we present two examples of tasks which can be achieved by students of French as a foreign language even though they do not necessarily have in-depth knowledge of linguistic analysis and for which no prior filtering by the teacher is needed. In the first task, the aim is to determine the typical use of a verb by looking for co-occurrences strongly collocating with it, while in the second one, the purpose is to disambiguate near-synonyms, based on the usage contexts specific to each of the lexical units considered. It appears that the results obtained compare favourably with the descriptions found in dictionaries, despite the simplicity of the procedure.
Von der sprachlichen Oberfläche zum Muster : Zur qualitativen Interpretation syntagmatischer Profile
Authors: Steyer Kathrin
Published: July 2022

This paper discusses a corpus-driven approach to the study of multi-word expressions (MWE) (in our terminology: Usuelle Wortverbindungen UWV). Our approach is based on collocation data and syntagmatic profiles. Several interpretative steps lead from the language surface structure to MWE to more abstract multi-word patterns (MWP). MWP contain fixed components as well as slots, which are filled by elements with similar semantic or pragmatic characteristics. Like simple MWE, MWP can be considered units of the lexicon and patterns of language use with a holistic meaning and function. The formation of patterns, the semantic and pragmatic characteristics of the fillers and the restrictions on usage cannot be described by rules or language competence alone, but require bottom-up analysis on the basis of very large corpora.
Korpuspragmatische Analysen alpinistischer Literatur
Authors: Bubenhofer Noah , Scharloth Joachim
Published: July 2022

A view on linguistic data in the sense of corpus pragmatics leads to new insights in the domains of sociolinguistics, discourse linguistics and cultural studies. In corpus pragmatics, recurrent patterns of language use are interpreted as a result of social actions. Using modern corpus linguistic methods, these recurrent patterns of language use can be extracted in a data driven way from linguistic data. In our paper we show this techniques in the context of a corpus of alpine literature: The yearbooks of the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC). The study shows how "talking about mountains" has changed from 1864 to today.
Usage de ressources symboliques à l'adolescence
Authors: Zittoun Tania
Published: July 2022

This paper proposes a sociocultural approach to adolescents’ uses of films, music and texts as developmental resources. After a short characterization of the challenges of youth, the paper considers adolescence as a period rich in ruptures and transitions as young people move through a diversity of spheres of experiences, requiring processes of identity change, learning and sense making. The paper then examines the resources adolescents might find to facilitate the changes thus required. The paper presents some data from a large research project on secondary school adolescents. It shows the diversity of their cultural experiences, often demanding in term of time and yet remote from school contents. It also shows how young people use some of the cultural elements found in their leisure as symbolic resources, and suggests that texts met at school might become symbolic resources, too. Such uses of texts are likely to support learning and further identity processes and sense making. The importance of adult recognition of these diverse experiences is finally suggested.
Transmission d'une langue minoritaire : les pratiques langagières des jeunes de la troisième génération en Suisse
Authors: Wyssmüller Chantal , Fibbi Rosita
Published: July 2022

This article deals with the transmission of migrants’ language of origin, both as a repertory and an identity marker. The text is based on a study of grandchildren of immigrants of Italian and Spanish origin, the two groups whose settlement in Switzerland is old enough to have a grown-up third generation. It describes language usages of those potentially bilingual teenagers and the sense that such bilingual practices have in their urban environment. The study identifies also the factors influencing such practices, especially the investment of grandparents in the transmission.
développement de la compétence d'interaction : une étude sur le travail lexical
Authors: Farina Clelia , Pochon-Berger Evelyne , Pekarek Doehler Simona
Published: July 2022

This paper presents an exploratory longitudinal study on how an adolescent speaker of French L2 manages word searches as part of auto-initiated other-repair. We followed Julie, a German-speaking au pair girl sojourning in a French-speaking environment, for 9 months. Based on the analysis of audio-recorded and transcribed everyday conversations, we track how Julie’s ‘methods’ for initiating word searches and calling for co-participant’s help change across the duration of her stay. Results show a shift from the use of ‘heavy’ resources that suspend the ongoing activities and focus explicitly on lexical issues towards the use of more subtle resources that maximize the progressivity of talk while still allowing the speaker to overcome lexical problems. It is argued that these changes are indicative of the development of L2 interactional competence.
prosodie du "français fédéral". Étude de la vitesse d'articulation et de l'accentuation en français L1 et L2.
Authors: Dubosson Pauline , Schwab Sandra , Avanzi Mathieu
Published: July 2022

The aim of this study is to examine some prosodic features of a variety of L2 French commonly called "français fédéral", which is a variety of French spoken by people who have a Swiss German dialect as L1. We compared the data of 4 groups of 4 speakers: 2 groups of French native speakers (from Neuchâtel in Switzerland and from Paris) and 2 groups of 4 Swiss German French speakers (from Bern and Zurich but living in Neuchâtel for at least 20 years). The data were semi-automatically processed. We examined two prosodic properties: articulation rate and accentuation. Our findings suggest that: (i) native speakers from Paris articulate faster than native speakers from Neuchâtel; (ii) non-native speakers articulate as fast as the native speakers of the corresponding variety; (iii) "français fédéral" shares several features with a lexical accentuation system rather than with a supra-lexical accentuation system.
L'hyperbole: approche rhétorique, énonciative et interactionnelle
Authors: Kerbrat-Orecchioni Catherine
Published: July 2022

In diesem Artikel untersucht die Autorin zunächst die klassische Definition der Hyperbel. Sie weist einerseits darauf hin, dass die Hyperbel stricto sensu nicht nur eine Übertreibung ist (die Formulierung ist stärker als die beschriebene Sache). Andererseits erklärt sie, dass sich der Sprecher dieser Tatsache bewusst ist und keineswegs versucht, den Empfänger zu täuschen (die Übertreibung wird gewissermassen zugegeben). Dahingegen wird beim allgemeineren Gebrauch der Hyperbel die Ausdruckweise ausschliesslich vom Empfänger als übertrieben angesehen. Dieser Gebrauch ist u.a. bei Wahlkampfdebatten zu beobachten, wo Hyperbeln oft zu Verhandlungen zwischen den konkurrierenden Kandidaten führen.
L'hyperbole, une "figure dérivée" par excellence: revue des procédés rhétoriques d'hyperbolisation
Authors: Paissa Paola
Published: July 2022

Der vorliegende Artikel analysiert figurative Strategien, welche mit der Hyperbel in Zusammenhang stehen können. Zunächst werden die Wortfiguren oder Tropen untersucht, dann die Denkfiguren oder Metalogismen. Anschliessend wird hinterfragt, ob die Beibehaltung dieser klassischen Unterscheidung nach wie vor sinnvoll ist. Aus einer pragma-enunziativen Perspektive lässt sich ausserdem die Aktivität beobachten, welche die Figur des Exzessiven und der Überschreitung beim Enunziator und Enunziatär auslöst. Dabei stellt sich dieses figurative Phänomen als Konfrontationspunkt verschiedener Sichtweisen und als Etappe der Bedeutungsverhandlung heraus.
Juste la fin du monde. L'excès juste, ou l'hyperbole exagère-t-elle toujours ?
Authors: Salvan Geneviève
Published: July 2022

Dieser Beitrag interessiert sich für die paradoxe Verwendung des in der mündlichen Sprache häufig vorkommenden, französischen Adverbs juste. Bei diesem Gebrauch steht juste vor einem Verstärkungswort und modalisiert es, wie im Satz Marie est juste fabuleuse. Wir werden sehen, dass eine solche oxymoronische Struktur, die Angemessenheit und Intensität gegenüberstellt, in bestimmten Diskursen auf die referenzielle und enunziative Funktion der Hyperbel zurückgreift. Ausserdem werden wir den übertreibenden Effekt von juste anhand eines Vergleichs von hyperbolischen Aussagen erkennen, welche auf dieses Adverb zurückgreifen bzw. verzichten. Letztlich wird uns diese ebenso lexiko-semantische wie pragma-enunziative Studie zum Wort juste erlauben, die Hyperbel klarer von der Litotes abzugrenzen.
