Comment, par le biais du commentaire en ligne touristique, les francophones et hispanophones évaluent-ils le musée qu’ils ont visité. Apprécient-ils de la même façon un même objet culturel en ...fonction de leur langue et de leur culture ? Existe-t-il un positionnement évaluateur selon l’appartenance du visiteur à une communauté linguistique donnée ? Si oui, comment s’exprime-t-il ? Pour répondre à cette série de questionnements, cette monographie mène une analyse qualitative et quantitative des commentaires en ligne que les visiteurs francophones et hispanophones du Louvre et du Prado ont laissés sur TripAdvisor entre 2009 et 2019. Ces écrits numériques, en français et en espagnol, accompagnés d’une note allant de 1 à 5, explicitement évaluatifs, possèdent une portée argumentative dans le choix des mots et des thématiques, décelée par l’analyse quantitative offerte par le logiciel textométrique TXM. L’approche statistique couplée à l’étude discursive des commentaires classés selon leur notation, le musée visité et la communauté linguistique participe alors à la caractérisation d’un e-lecte, celui du commentaire en ligne touristique dans le domaine muséal.
This theoretical and practical guide to using corpus linguistic techniques in stylistic analysis focuses on how to use off-the-shelf corpus software, such as AntConc, Wmatrix, and the Brigham Young ...University (BYU) corpus interface.
This volume brings together linguistic, psycholinguistic, and sociolinguistic perspectives on code-switching. Featuring new data from five continents and languages with a large range of linguistic ...affiliations, the contributions all address the role of social factors in determining the forms and outcomes of code-switching. This book is a significant addition to the empirical and theoretical foundations of the study of code-switching.
Corpus linguistics has much to offer history, being as both disciplines engage so heavily in analysis of large amounts of textual material. This book demonstrates the opportunities for exploring ...corpus linguistics as a method in historiography and the humanities and social sciences more generally. Focusing on the topic of prostitution in 17th-century England, it shows how corpus methods can assist in social research, and can be used to deepen our understanding and comprehension. McEnery and Baker draw principally on two sources – the newsbook Mercurius Fumigosis and the Early English Books Online Corpus. This scholarship on prostitution and the sex trade offers insight into the social position of women in history.
Cet ouvrage collectif est un hommage rendu à Franck Neveu, éminent spécialiste et professeur de sciences du langage, dont l’originalité de la pensée et la richesse de l’apport scientifique marqueront ...durablement les recherches actuelles en linguistique. En linguistique et/ou en sciences du langage, car c’est là un débat ancien et toujours renouvelé. C’est en faveur de la deuxième dénomination que s’est résolument prononcé Franck Neveu, qui se positionne néanmoins, tout aussi résolument, comme linguiste. Ce volume collectif entend rendre hommage à cette ouverture d’esprit en réunissant des contributions d’auteurs de renom proches du dédicataire, qui explorent non seulement ses champs de spécialité comme la syntaxe, la sémantique et l’épistémologie des sciences du langage, mais également des disciplines avoisinantes comme la dialectologie ou la génétique des textes. Il trouve son unité autour des travaux de Franck Neveu et se veut être une contribution au rayonnement de la linguistique française que celui-ci défend et illustre. Avec ses contributions représentatives des recherches actuelles, cet ouvrage intéressera autant un public spécialisé qu’un public curieux de découvrir les sciences du langage.
Have wireless, mobile communication technologies - phones, laptops and tablets - changed the way people talk to one another? What does it mean to be able to speak or write to anyone, anywhere, ...24/7/365, and get an immediate response? And what does the current profusion of these technologies mean for the study of language in social life? Do we need to develop new approaches, methodologies and theories? Taking a global perspective, this volume provides readers with a nuanced, ethnographically-informed understanding of mobile communication and sociolinguistics. The text explores a wide range of digital applications, including SMS, email, tweeting, Facebook, YouTube, chatting, blogging, Wikipedia, Second Life and gaming. It raises important questions about the nature of language, the role of multimodality and intertextuality in creating meaning, the realities and consequences of digital linguistic inequality. The formation of virtual communities, ways of online socialising and the performance of the 'self' are explored. Based on a multicultural and multilingual approach, the volume provides a comprehensive and intriguing overview of digital communication for both students and researchers.
Diachronic treebanks allow for a new approach to diachronic studies of syntactic phenomena. These papers report research on various diachronic matters supported such by evidence, covering a wide ...range of languages, including English, French, Russian, Latin and Ancient Greek. Originally published as Diachronica 35:3 (2018).
This book presents the methods, tools and techniques that are currently being used to recognise (automatically) the affect, emotion, personality and everything else beyond linguistics ...('paralinguistics') expressed by or embedded in human speech and language. It is the first book to provide such a systematic survey of paralinguistics in speech and language processing. The technology described has evolved mainly from automatic speech and speaker recognition and processing, but also takes into account recent developments within speech signal processing, machine intelligence and data mining. Moreover, the book offers a hands-on approach by integrating actual data sets, software, and open-source utilities which will make the book invaluable as a teaching tool and similarly useful for those professionals already in the field. Key features: * Provides an integrated presentation of basic research (in phonetics/linguistics and humanities) with state-of-the-art engineering approaches for speech signal processing and machine intelligence. * Explains the history and state of the art of all of the sub-fields which contribute to the topic of computational paralinguistics. * C overs the signal processing and machine learning aspects of the actual computational modelling of emotion and personality and explains the detection process from corpus collection to feature extraction and from model testing to system integration. * Details aspects of real-world system integration including distribution, weakly supervised learning and confidence measures. * Outlines machine learning approaches including static, dynamic and context?sensitive algorithms for classification and regression. * Includes a tutorial on freely available toolkits, such as the open-source 'openEAR' toolkit for emotion and affect recognition co-developed by one of the authors, and a listing of standard databases and feature sets used in the field to allow for immediate experimentation enabling the reader to build an emotion detection model on an existing corpus.
