Problems and Solutions in the Transcription of Context for Discourse Analysis.
Authors: Cook Guy 
Published: August 2023

Problèmes et suggestions pour la transcription du contexte dans l’analyse de discours
Dès lors qu’elle entend prendre en compte les/des données extralinguistiques, la pragmatique discursive doit se poser le problème d’un système de transcription et de ses implications théoriques.
Il apparaît que :
— Les données à prendre en compte étant infinies tant en ce qui concerne leur complexité que leur extension, une transcription exhaustive est impossible,
— que toute tentative en vue d’une transcription plus fine des faits se heurte à une limite théorique aussi bien que pratique,
— que la pragmatique se doit de distinguer entre le contexte de discours authentiques et les contextes fabriqués par les linguistes et philosophes du langage.
Syntaxe et représentations : remarques sur l'adjectif
Authors: Coulomb Claude 
Published: August 2023

Syntax and representations : some observations on the adjective.
The adjective as a grammatical category presents problems which cannot easily be dealt with in terms of necessary and sufficient conditions. This is why we have adopted a 'prototypical' approach showing that an adjective can be situated on a scale of typicality thanks to inherent features.
Using this representation we propose to reexamine certain specific aspects of prenominal sequences of adjectives in order to discuss the hypothesis according to which the position of an adjective is determined by two major factors :
-its inherent degree of typicality 'en langue'
-and its degree of relevance depending on properties it receives from the noun it qualifies in actual discourse. The positional syntax of the adjective is thus described as resulting from a négociation between these two criteria which relate to two different types of representations.
Les séquences d'adjectifs en position prénominale : analyse expérimentale

Sequences of Adjectives in Prenominal Position : Instrumental Analysis
After a study based almost exclusively on the written mode, it seemed necessary, amongst other things, to see whether the punctuation of these sequences, or its absence, leads the speaker to producer different spoken patterns.
The instrumental analysis reveals the great variety of means employed in the production of these sequences.
In order to describe, to identify and to distinguish between them, we have had to devise an accentual hierarchy based on the accentable syllable, a syllable capable of melodic or rhythmic activation.
La schize du personnage dans As I Lay Dying
Authors: Guillain Aurélie 
Published: August 2023

Inner Divisions : The Character in Faulkner's As I Lay Dying
In As I Lay Dying, characterisation is twofold : characters are heard as voices telling their own part of the tale, but they are also mentioned and described in the other character's monologues. In some cases, the fictional creature's appearance in his own «gaze» and its appearance in the other's gaze do coincide. But in some other cases, these two aspects of characterization seem to be irreconciliable : this is precisely the inner division I would like to focus on.
The Energy of Reiteration : Sheila Watsons ’s «Antigone»
Authors: Ventura Héliane 
Published: August 2023

Dans cette nouvelle de Sheila Watson intitulée «Antigone» nous nous trouvons confrontés à une réécriture canadienne du mythe grec. L’histoire se déroule au XIXe siècle ou peut-être au XXe siècle de notre ère, dans une ville de Colombie Britannique mais l’altérité fondamentale repose sur le choix d’un chronotope particulier : un hôpital psychiatrique comme décor de l’intrigue.
En choisissant l’hôpital psychiatrique comme lieu de l’action, Sheila Watson déchronologise le drame et le désenclave de Thèbes mais surtout elle met l’accent, par déplacement métonymique, sur l’aliénation de l’être. Antigone au pays de la folie, c’est encore Antigone face au non sens de la tyrannie. La forme ancienne s’est réinvestie, non pas dans un nouveau circuit de sens, mais dans un circuit où le sens n’est plus. Dans sa réitération du mythe grec, Sheila Watson a mis en scène la colüsion des irréconciliables : la vie et la mort, la mort vivante dans le sans-issue de l’aliénation.
Mgr Fallon et la crise du règlement XVII : le bilinguisme en question dans les écoles catholiques séparées
Authors: Batut Laurent 
Published: August 2023

The British North America Act had settled the language question in Canada, or so English Canadians thought at the turn of the century. The rapid changes undergone by Canadian society in the 1890s and 1900s : massive immigration, industrialisation and urbanisation, put an end to a fragile societal and constitutional compromise.
The border separating an English Canada from a French Canada, two distinct entities, was crossed by an increasing number of French Canadians. For some Ontarians, the loyalist province was faced with a French invasion that would endanger the principles on which the English-speaking community was founded. Once again the language question came to the forefront. French Canadians had to be linguistically assimilated, and the sooner the better. Regulation XVII was to be the most efficient weapon in this fight for linguistic domination. It struck at the heart of French Canadian identity and triggered a ten-year long battle for the recognition of the rights of French Canadians to preserve their language outside Quebec.
Quite unexpectedly, no sympathy was expressed by English-speaking Catholics. On the contrary they sided with the English-speaking majority. The Canadian Catholic Church was divided on the language issue and the debates remained fierce in the Catholic community before a new compromise could be reached.
The scarlet letters of Sylvia Plath
Authors: Tuhkunen-Couzic Taïana 
Published: August 2023

The reader of Sylvia Plath’s poetry often has the disquieting initial impression of an equation between womanhood and martyrdom. A more extended reading of her poetry, however, reveals a far more complex process of exploration and subversion at work in the texts of this controversial poet. Indeed, while presenting the female being as a victim of her own biology in a strictly compartmentalised prison-like world, Plaths speaking subjects never cease to examine their own complicity with the tyrant, as well as to probe the difficulty of working towards truly emancipatory words.
Classified under medical terminology after the publication of the Ariel poems, Plaths oeuvre cannot be approached without bearing in mind the distorting legend to which some of the early critics and the somewhat arbitrary publication of Plaths works have given rise to. Yet, as it is highlighted by Plaths deliberately spectacular poem “Lady Lazarus” (1962) which oscillates between love and terror, idolatry and blasphemy, sacrifice and rebirth, instead of positing the emerging subject as having necessarily to reach a definite status or an autonomous voice, it is more relevant to follow the at once apprehensive and eager toiling towards expressions of plurality. Seeking to escape from excessive biblical sensitivity, as well as from reductive and stifling representations, the Plathian woman, in constant mutation towards new selfhood, never ceases to moult, driven by a desire to find a body and a language beyond victimisation.
Victimes d’hier, partenaires de demain ; l’évolution des relations intercommunautaires en Irlande du Nord
Authors: Considère-Charon Marie-Claire 
Published: August 2023

Malgré l’Accord du Vendredi Saint signé le 10 avril 1998 et une population très largement acquise au processus de paix et de réconciliation, le fonctionnement des institutions en Irlande du Nord a subi de nombreux ratés et un véritable partenariat politique paraît difficile à instaurer. Chacune des deux communautés semble encore conserver sa propre lecture de l’histoire comme en attestent les peintures murales qui abondent sur les murs des quartiers catholiques et protestants. Cette forme d’art populaire témoigne des traditions idéologiques républicaine et loyaliste et contribue à perpétuer l’écart culturel entre les deux communautés.
Tandis que les peintures murales loyalistes ont pour thème la victoire ou la résistance héroïque des représentants d’une communauté assiégée, celles des nationalistes célèbrent les sacrifices des martyrs qui, comme Bobby Sands décédé en 1981 après soixante-six jours de jeûne, ont payé de leur vie leur lutte pour la liberté.
Ambiguity and polysemy in thin verbs
Authors: Allerton D. J. 
Published: August 2023

Ambiguity and polysemy in thin verbs D. J. Allerton.
On regroupe sous l'expression "thin verbs" les verbes comme have ou make lorsqu'ils apparaissent dans des locutions verbales comme have a try, make an attempt. Ils présentent des problèmes spécifiques d'ambiguïté et de polysémie, y compris celui du choix du verbe sélectionné dans les constructions de ce type. Bien que ces verbes soient sémantiquement distincts dans leurs emplois lexicaux "pleins" (tels que have a car, make a car), ils se caractérisent par des phénomènes de recouvrement partiel d'emploi et de sens lorqu'ils se trouvent employés comme "thin verbs". Nous nous proposons, à l'aide de la mise en évidence des liens sémantiques entre les différentes acceptions polysémiques de verbes comme have ou make, et de leur représentation sous la forme de faisceaux de relations sémantiques, de parvenir à une meilleure compréhension des raisons de tels recouvrements sémantiques ainsi que des stratégies normalement employées pour la résolution des phénomènes d'ambiguïté grâce au processus de sélection mutuelle du sens des verbes et des noms dans de telles constructions.
Towards a discourse related typology of ambiguity

Towards a discourse-related typology of ambiguity
Albert Hamm, Marc Bloch University, Strasbourg
On fait l’hypothèse que, au-delà des cas d’ambiguïté ‘virtuelle’, de très nombreux autres exemples d’‘ambiguïté classique’ ne se présentent comme tels que si l’on considère des phrases hors contexte. En discours, dans la grande majorité des cas, le contexte, la situation, l’univers de connaissances partagées offriront, sinon la bonne interprétation, du moins une orientation discursive de nature à lever l’ambiguïté. Seront étudiés dans un premier temps quelques types classiques d’ambiguïté, ainsi que d’autres phénomènes tels que les jointures, les situations d’apprentissage d’une LVE, de compréhension audiovisuelle, d’ambiguïté transculturelle ou de surdétermination.
Par contraste, on examinera le comportement, par rapport au phénomène de l’ambiguïté, de divers registres discursifs qui, pour certains en font une composante caractéristique (titres de presse, publicités, devinettes, discours politique...), et pour d’autres requièrent au contraire la mise en oeuvre de différents moyens permettant de l’éviter. Le rapport à l’ambiguïté apparaît ainsi comme un des éléments du système. On analysera enfin quelques exemples d’ambiguïté ‘discursive’ en s’interrogeant sur les modes et la nécessité de leur résolution.
“We knew it was only the rain”. - Irishness explained. Généricité et catégorisation dans Angela's Ashes
Authors: Hamm Albert 
Published: August 2023

This article offers to bring the tools of the linguist into play in the analysis of a text which was completely unfamiliar at the start. On the basis of the minimal interpretative hypothesis of a global coherence of the text we draw on syntax, semantic syntax, but also on phonetic and rhythmic and intonational analysis within the framework of an integrated pragmatics.
Employed here as an auxiliary science to literary analysis, linguistic analysis provides the footing that enables establishing correlations with extra-textual data and serves to constrain the multi-interpretability of the text by limiting the 'interpretative waste' and excluding the readings it does not permit, exclusively from the linguistic point of view of course.
Postmodernism and the past : A romance
Authors: Boccardi Mariadele 
Published: August 2023

British contemporary historical fiction is the genre that most closely, extensively and fruitfully explores the questions concerning the nature and scope of representation raised by postmodern historical and narrative theory. One interesting trait, common to the most speculative works of historical fiction published in the last fifteen years, is the adoption of Romance in all its modes — as a motif of the plot (the love story) and as a narrative mode (defining itself against the novel). Indeed Romance is the means by which the contemporary historical novel first dramatises and then investigates the representation of the past in the context of postmodernism.
Lindsay Clarkes The Chymical Wedding (1989) and A. S. Byatt’s Possession (1990), both subtitled A Romance, epitomise the tendency described above. Their discussion in this paper will reveal not only the strategies by which these works deal with the intersection of postmodernism and representation, but also the Romantic elements inherent in postmodernism itself.
Phraseological metaphor : Dead or alive ?
Authors: Načisčione Anita 
Published: August 2023

The aim of my paper is to explore phraseological meaning in discourse from the cognitive point of view. I argue against the dead-metaphor view which treats all phraseological units as clichés that have “lost their first bloom and their potency” and have been “established as the bad guy of the English language”, having suffered “a fall from freshness” (Kirkpatrick 1996). This is an old approach that phraseological units were once alive but now they are fossilised. Surprisingly, this attitude still persists in the face of advances in cognitive linguistics and psycholinguistics (Lakoff and Johnson 1980 ; Gibbs [1994] 1999 ; Steen 1994) that show that the meanings of many phraseological units are motivated by peoples conceptual knowledge, which includes metaphorical and metonymic schemes of thought. The recent empirical research suggests that phraseological units are pervasive in discourse and that they are not simple dead metaphors but actually retain a good deal of their metaphoricity (Gibbs [1994] 1999). This goes against the idea that all phraseological units are dead metaphors.
A cognitive approach to phraseological units in discourse reveals that stylistic use is not a deviation, a violation, a distortion or an anomaly but that these cases are stylistic instances of naturally occurring phraseological units. For phraseology stylistic use is a fact of discourse. It is a deliberate choice that reflects the cognitive processes of the mind in creative thinking, conveying a new perception, a different point of view, a novel vision calling for a change in the standard form of the phraseological unit. My claim is that phraseological metaphor is alive, it reflects a metaphorical concept while extended phraseological metaphor is an instantiation of creativity, reflecting extended figurative thought.
British television satire
Authors: Bee Jim 
Published: August 2023

Satire is a regular feature of British television, both in fiction and topical comedy. Its contribution to contemporary culture and politics deserves to be taken seriously but it has attracted little academic interest. An exception is Wagg’s analysis of post-war British satirical comedy (1992) where he argues that satire has had a negative effect on political life by encouraging a cynical view of politics.
This research discusses satire on contemporary British television, specifically topical news satire in the news quiz. Drawing on literary theory it seeks to illuminate how such satire works as a communicational form and what we might expect of it politically. Extracts are analysed of the news quiz Have I Got News For You? It is argued that topical news satire offers some examples of the traditional version of satire as a moral and pedagogic form identifying vices and urging their correction but it is found to be more likely to involve less conclusive features such as (following Griffin 1994) inquiry, provocation, play and display and to be dedicated to pleasure as much as moral and political persuasion. Whilst contemporary tv satire provides plenty of evidence to support the claim that it abuses politics in general and encourages cynicism, it can equally be argued that it is part of an established tradition of public complaint and mockery which is useful to a healthy democracy.
«Hope I die before I get old» : Légitimité, identité et authenticité dans la musique populaire britannique
Authors: Mullen John 
Published: August 2023

La musique populaire (dans le sens le plus large) est souvent considérée par les porte-parole de la culture savante comme un mode d’expression artistique illégitime, et comme un objet impropre à l’étude universitaire. Pourtant depuis trente ans cette musique a accédé, lentement, a une certaine légitimité officielle.
Les amateurs des différents genres de musique populaire - du rock au rap en passant par la techno ou le reggae - s’interrogent fréquemment sur la nature «authentique» ou «commerciale» de telle ou telle production musicale. Cette «authenticité» constitue une légitimité alternative à celle reconnue par les élites. L’analyse de la musique populaire s’est souvent concentrée sur des questions d’identité. Une musique peut contenir une revendication identitaire, générationnelle, communautaire, ou politique.
L’objectif de mon article est d’explorer ces trois notions dans la musique populaire britannique (1950-2000).
Canadian Multiculturalism : Imagined/Experiential Narratives of Canadian Citizens
Authors: Tanvir Syed Khalida 
Published: August 2023

Canadian multiculturalism : imagined/ experiential narratives of Canadian citizens
What does it mean to be a citizen of Canada ? Specifically, this paper investigates what it means to be a hyphenated Canadian citizen, contrasting the experiential narrative of a French-Canadian Educator with the imagined narrative of Canadian Citizenship brought by a Pakistani-Canadian immigrant. Both stories are structured by the dualities of insider, or French-Canadian, and outsider, or Pakistani-Canadian experiences. To ‘outsiders’, Canada’s multicultural mosaic forms a cohesive national narrative ; but within this mosaic lie enmeshed layers of narrative experience. The inside-outside narratives of minority groups share many similarities across apparent cultural divides. Opportunities for mutual understanding and empathy emerge from the sharing of these stories, particularly, those concerned with concepts of Canadian citizenship in a multicultural framework. Often the language that we choose to define ourselves by creates borders that imply difference ; to become a truly multicultural society we must risk looking beyond labels to the shared role of cultural minorities in Canada’s ‘constructed’ national identity.
Multiculturalisme canadien vs interculturalisme québécois : les défis pour l’immigration et la nouvelle francophonie au Québec

Multiculturalisme canadien vs. interculturalisme québécois : les défis pour l'immigration et la nouvelle francophonie au Québec.
Comment les sociétés canadienne et québécoise se positionnent-elles face à la diversité culturelle ? Quelles stratégies poursuivent-elles afin de créer un cadre et des structures favorisant la cohabitation entre personnes de culture et de langue différentes ? Sur le plan fédéral, le Canada poursuit la politique du multiculturalisme pratiquée depuis 1971 et formulée en tant que loi en 1988. Au Québec, elle se heurte à une large opposition, dans la mesure où elle apparaît comme une sorte de machine de guerre dirigée contre le principe de dualité, à savoir, la politique du biculturalisme et du bilinguisme. La stratégie proposée par le Québec se base sur le principe d’interculturalité. Jusqu'à aujourd’hui, ce contre-projet au multiculturalisme canadien reste par contre relativement flou et fait l’objet de nombreuses controverses politiques entre les partis politiques. L’article suivant analyse les mesures que prend l’administration étatique en ce qui concerne le soutien linguistique des immigrants et met en évidence des rapports contradictoires existant entre la francisation d’une part et l’interculturalité d’autre part.
Implementing the American bilingual tradition : an assessment of the last four decades

Implementing the American bilingual tradition : an assessment of the last four decades
This article reviews the implementation of American language policies over the past forty years ; its main purpose is to gain a better insight into American citizenship, that is, to determine the extent to which it deserves to be considered multicultural. After examining the cases of bilingual education and voting rights for citizens with an insufficient knowledge of English, it discusses the determinants for these policies. Born out of the Civil Rights movement, American language policies are shaped by their institutional setting and, above all, by the civic understanding of American citizenship : consequently, they tend to put greater emphasis on unity, although they do not shut all doors for the politics of diversity.
What’s the point of that double genitive of yours ?
Authors: Higgs Lyndon 
Published: August 2023

One structure of English which has received little attention is the so-called double genitive, an example of which is a friend of Tom’s. Generally, grammars of English say little when describing its specificity, typically pointing out that a similar structure, one of Tom’s friends, implies an obligatory partitive interpretation (i.e. Tom must have more than one friend), which is not necessarily the case for the double genitive.
This article aims to review and expand upon some hypotheses that attempt to explain the various subcategories of the double genitive, as well as giving the results of a small-scale native speaker study on the acceptability of certain double genitive forms. The results of this study will support my hypothesis that the indefinite double genitive cannot be used when the possessum belongs to a well-defined, closed and discourse-relevant class of elements.
Imagined communities and the lures of hypermodernity : The case of the South Asian diaspora
Authors: Král Françoise 
Published: August 2023

Loin d’avoir perdu de sa pertinence, le concept de «communauté imaginaire», théorisé par Benedict Anderson dans son ouvrage constitue un paradigme important dans l’étude des échanges transnationaux et de leur rôle à l’époque contemporaine, dans un contexte caractérisé par un transnationalisme exacerbé. Dans le sillage de Anderson, Arjun Appadurai a étudié la formation de ce qu’il appelle les «scapes», ces communautés imaginaires qui se créent autour de besoins ou de centres d’intérêt et qui semblent constituer de nouveaux cadres transnationaux, susceptibles de prendre la place des nations, nous invitant à réfléchir à ce qui différencie les nations de ces nouveaux cadres dont le devenir s’inscrit sous le sceau du changement et de la précarité.
Dans cet article je propose d’utiliser cette notion comme prisme permettant de mieux comprendre les romans de la diaspora indienne, et en particulier ceux de Jhumpa Lahiri et de Hari Kunzru.

У всіх інформаційних матеріалах (біографічних довідках, статтях, спогадах тощо), присвячених Віктору Михайловичу Глушкову, завжди використовується епітет «видатний» (учений, організатор, глава наукової школи і т.ін.). Згідно зі «Словником української мови»: видатний — той, який вирізняється з-поміж інших якими-небудь надзвичайними рисами, якостями, особливостями [1]. Але, окрім надзвичайних якостей, якими, безумовно, вирізнявся Віктор Михайлович, його велич і видатна роль в історії нашої держави визначаються результатами, досягненнями та звершеннями, які він здійснив протягом свого короткого, але яскравого життєвого шляху й які стали невіддільними складовими нашого сучасного буття.
